Could it be a sign of what’s to come? Some may think that it’s no coincidence that Alexa Rodriguez, a 13-year-old girl, was attacked by a red-tailed hawk at Fenway Park yesterday. Many fans are releaved that it wasn’t a girl named Dereka Jeter or Alberta Pooholes.

Regardless of how you look at it — 4 years too early or 6 years too late — the New Kids On The Block are back. They appeared on the Today Show this morning reunited for the first time in 14 years. The band will return to TODAY on May 16 to perform their first live concert since 1994 as part of TODAY’s summer concert series on the Plaza. I can see it now…new video introduced by Kennedy and Bill Bellamy.

Now This Is Happening — New York Buys Eli A New Carr, Gets A New Gov

Well, the prostitute mentioned as “Kristen” in a federal affadivit as giving former New York Governor Eliot Spitzer sexy time has been revealed.

Ashley Alexandra Dupre (born Ashley Youmans), 22, is also an aspiring R&B singer…according to her MySpace. In her own words, she’s been through tough times.

I live in New York and am on top of the world. Been here since 2004 and I love this city, I love my life here. But, my path has not been easy. When I was 17, I left home. It was my decision and I’ve never looked back. Left my hometown. Left a broken family. Left abuse. Left an older brother who had already split. Left and learned what it was like to have everything, and lose it, again and again. Learned what it was like to wake up one day and have the people you care about most gone. I have been alone. I have abused drugs. I have been broke and homeless. But, I survived, on my own. I am here, in NY because of my music.

Looks like she’s got a bunch of support looking at her MySpace comments. Good thing. Right about now, E Spit has been relegated to the doghouse.

As hard as it is for me to even acknowledge ESPN’s John Clayton’s proficiency in the goings on of the NFL, I do. I admit it. He knows what he’s talking about most of the time even though his Skolnick appearance can be deceiving. Yesterday, he offered his Top 10 free-agent gambles. And just when I thought the No. 1 overall pick of 2002 was done for, David Carr rears his Harrington-like head around the corner in New York. I can’t believe I’m saying that. I used to be a huge fan. Now, I can’t imagine him even taking the job of my favorite overweight QB as he finally get his chance in the NFL. Oh wait. There’s still one in Oakland. Whew.

Um…raise your hand if you knew there was another Hulk movie coming out. Seriously, I’ve really been slacking. Normally, I’m on top of this info. if you haven’t already seen it, check out the The Incredible Hulk trailer. Another example of Ed Norton’s range as an actor. He can even turn into a CGI monster.

The Rockets won again. That’s 20! Are you shidding me?

That Just Happened — Los Patrick Swayze Has The Cancer

Despite early reports that Patrick Swayze had 5 “weeks to live” after being diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, the Roadhouse star is said to have a “limited amount of disease”. Swayze’s doctor, George Fisher, added that “…reports stating the time frame of his prognosis and his physical side effects are absolutely untrue”. Dr. Fisher also said that Swayze shrugged off the treatments with a dogmatic statement: “Pain Don’t Hurt“.

Tonight, my San Antonio Spurs take on the Indiana Pacers (welcome home, Jeff Foster). Tonight is also Latin-themed night. Manu Ginobili is going to wear a jersey thought to represent San Antonio’s heritage. Um. “LOS SPURS” is the dumbest thing the Spurs have ever come up with next to the Taco Cabana Spurs logo. If it was truly in Spanish, it would be Las Espuelas. I hope we lose tonight. But we won’t ’cause we kick los ass!

Speaking of los kick ass, the Houston Rockets won’t stop losing. Last week when I talked about Yao Ming being out for the season, I also wasted no time writing the Rockets off as dead in the water. Hey…I might be wrong. Anything is possible. If you don’t remember Tracy McGrady’s 13 in 33 here it is. Talk about amazing. I was in a jam-packed Baker’s Street Pub in Houston watching this game with one other brave Spurs fan. The Rockets may pull it off if T-Mac stays healthy.

The uber-efeminate Christian Siriano claimed the top prize in the fourth season of Project Runway. I admit, I watched this damn show. It’s probably a subconscious result of starring at my unusually empty closet…and my undeniable lust for Heidi Klum. Anyway, I doubt any of you watched this show, but I frikken ghayted Christian. He’s a cocky, arrogant little punk…er, bitch. I don’t know who I can’t stand more: Christian or Ross The Intern. And, no, I’m not a homophobe. I’m a hard-core George Takei fan!

Now This Is Happening — Lindsay Lohan Photos Trump $100 Oil

$100 Oil! C’mon…say it with me! “$100 OIL!!!” The crude (not refined) stuff ended above $100 per barrel yesterday for the first time ever. $100.10 to be exact. It’s up about 4% so far this year. Looks like Trump put that call into OPEC! “Get those prices down…and I mean now!” (6:01). Stockpile speculation on crude oil for March delivery dropped to $99.11 per barrel in after-hours electronic trading on the New York Mercantile Exchange and traded at $99.30 at 1:50 p.m. in Singapore.

Not Jake Shimabukuro

Eat your heart out, Don Ho (R.I.P.). Jake Shimabukuro is better than you at the ukulele. Be sure to check out his recent performance on Conan O’Brien. It’s like Monte Montgomery at chipmunk speed. Pretty cool!

Lindsay Lohan’s mom, Dina, is ok with “LL”s nude photo shoot. The photos in New York Magazine are photographer Bert Stein’s recreation of his legendary 1962 nude shoot with Marilyn Monroe titled “The Last Sitting”. What a relief! I was waiting for Mrs. Lohan’s blessing before I checked those out. And by “those”, I mean her photos. If you’re at work, you might want to wait until you get home to see “those”.

Shaquille O’Neal will return to the hardwood tonight against his old crew, the Lakers. Shaq wasted no time talking Shmaq…calling out everyone from Kobe (of course) to Phil Jackson to Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. Shaq questioned Kareem’s lack of conversation and attention with regard to his place in the Lakers organization. Hey, Shaq. Hakim (see Game of Death) owns Kazaam.
