Matos was winning 3-2, with 1:02 left in the second round, when he fell to the mat after being hit by his opponent, Kazakhstan’s Arman Chilmanov. Matos was sitting there, awaiting medical attention, when he was disqualified for taking too much injury time. Fighters get one minute, and Matos was disqualified when his time ran out. Matos angrily questioned the call, pushed a judge, then pushed and kicked referee Chakir Chelbat of Sweden, who will require stitches in his lip. Matos spat on the floor and was escorted out.The World Taekwondo Federation has recommended he be banned from competing in the sport for life. HELLS YES! That sort of shit should NOT be tolerated at this level of a sport. /> Cuban Olympic athlete Angel Matos may be banned from the sport of Tae-Kwon-Do for the rest of his life, after he deliberately kicked a referee in the face after losing a bronze medal fight.

So I'm currently in Port Angeles, Washington, on the Olympic Peninsula. My dad's in town to do some hiking in the national forest nearby, and I decided to drive out for the weekend and join him since it's only a couple of hours from Seattle.
In the Port Angeles area, there appears to be a gentleman running for elected office by the name of Hugh Haffner. I know this because his signs are everywhere. He has been the commissioner of the Clallam County Public Utility District #1 since 1994, and ...
Here's Paris and a bunch of 11-year-old girls at a private press event to promote Paris Hilton's new hair extension product with Sally Beauty Supply. The product is called The Bandit, and it appears to be a headband with the hair extension attached. I'm not sure why it's called The Bandit, but, judging by this photo, it may be because it also steals all your abdominal fat.
If that's true, I'll take three.
However, as far as the whole extending of the hair thing goes, I would really like ...
Madonna -- age fifty -- kicks off her Sticky & Sweet Tour in the UK.
Dayum.
I know it's been said a million times before, but this woman is ripped. Do you have any idea how hard it is to get a body like that? I've been working my ass off in the gym for months and I'm just finally starting to see some definition -- and I'm 26! (Granted, my eating habits have been imperfect at best.) Can you imagine trying to create a body like that at fifty???

And, ya know, Anna Faris, who's really the brains behind this whole operation.
The House Bunny -- which also stars AmIdol also-ran Katharine McPhee -- was the #1 film in the country on Friday, its opening weekend, bringing in $5.9M and knocking Tropic Thunder out of the top spot. It beat the Stiller comedy by a healthy margin, indicating that it'll hold onto the #1 position through the rest of the weekend.
Further congratulations are due to Rumer for finally figuring out how to pose for photos without looking like a goddamn sea creature. She probably had a team ...
COUGAR POWER!
Fifty-year-old Sharon Stone has been rumored for a little while now to be dating Chase Dreyfous, a 24-year-old who worked with her charity, Planet Hope.
Is this the mystery guy she left Beso with last night?...
Here's Ashlee Simpson in Canada promoting something -- I think it's a line of clothing but I don't know and I don't care enough to research it and mostly my eyes are just glued to the fact that she has a side knot in her shirt. Which, after careful deliberation, I've decided is kind of cool and just might be a trend I could handle coming back. The side knots were kind of cool.

Chris Kattan is starting to make Mr. Peepers look like a genius.
Chris dated model Sunshine Tutt for three years, was engaged to her for eighteen months of that time, and now, after eight weeks of marriage, has officially filed for a separation.
This happened to an acquaintance of mine a couple years ago. She dated a guy for almost a decade, they got married, went on a honeymoon, then promptly got separated and divorced. Like in the space of three months.
HOW DOES THIS HAPPEN?

Obama will be running with Delaware Senator Joe Biden, in order to add the whole "old white dude" touch to his campaign.
In light of Obama's choice, John McCain has chosen P. Diddy as his running mate.
I'm totally kidding.
But how awesome would that shit be? ...
