2010 Red Bull US MotoGP at Laguna Seca: We Have a Winner! [Spoiler Below] Thirty two laps after the grid launched their way down the Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca straightaway, the 2010 US Grand Prix culminated with Spaniard Jorge Lorenzo scoring his sixth victory aboard his Fiat Yamaha M1. As seen here, the diminutive (but apparently... uh, visibly pleased) Spaniard donned a space suit commemorating victory at the famed track. Lorenzo finished 3.5 seconds ahead of second place Ducati Marlboro's Casey Stoner, and third was claimed by Valentino Rossi, who staged an impressive pass late in the race. Andrea Dovizioso and Nicky Hayden scored fourth and fifth respectively, with newbie Texan Ben Spies finishing in sixth just ahead of Tech 3 Yamaha teammate Colin Edwards.

Concierge Auctions will conduct a live luxury real estate auction of the Teton Valley Ranch in cooperation with listing broker Richard Lewis of the Lewis, Lewis & Kleiman team at Jackson Hole Sotheby's International Realty. The ranch has views of the Teton Mountain Range and is adjacent to the National Elk Refuge and Grand Teton National Park with access to the Bridger-Teton National Forest. The property will be sold via three bidding segments. Estate Parcel I, originally listed for $29.5 million, has a reserve of $11 million; Estate Parcel II, originally listed for $17.9 million, has a reserve of $4 million; and the auction for both Estate Parcels I & II, originally listed for $47.4 million, has a reserve of $15 million. The seller is obligated to sell the properties to the highest aggregate bids above the reserve amounts. The property was founded in 1927 as a cattle ranch and previously owned by a son of David Abercrombie, co-founder of the Abercrombie & Fitch chain. Nestled among 52 acres of perfectly preserved wildlife, the residences in Estate Parcel I include a main residence with beautiful views of the Tetons. It measures more than 10,000-square-feet and is 90 percent complete (some of the listing pictures are renderings) so the new owner can add their own finishes. The house overlooks a warm springs lake that remains approximately 70 degrees year-round. One particularly nice feature is the atrium off the kitchen which faces the lake. The home opens into an expansive hall with stained glass windows. The master suite features an office/study area, private deck and a wrap around his and her walk-in closet. Also in this parcel is a two-bedroom log-cabin guest home on the edge of the property across the warm springs lake from the main residence. A rare riverfront property, Estate Parcel II has direct access to approximately ¾ of a mile of the Gros Ventre River. The river is a tributary of the Snake River, noted for its excellent Snake River Cutthroat trout fishing. This property includes the Marlboro barn which was made famous by the 1971 Western epic, "The Wild Country." The barn has existed for nearly a century and has been featured in a number of memorable advertisements, photographs and movies. This estate includes a 1,700-square foot home with three bedrooms and three baths, as well as two log cabins. The Teton Valley Ranch auction will be held live, on-site, on Friday, July 16 at 11 a.m., MDT. Attendance will be limited to registered bidders and their representatives and bidder registrations are due by Wednesday, July 14. The property is available for preview daily by appointment.

The night before she said yes, and about a week after the night she said yes, she was still sleeping with this male singer who has had his own marriage issues. (CDAN) Carrie Underwears and Keith Urban?! But if this was the case, I think Nicole Kidman's ice cold forehead would've cracked a bit while she tried to frown at this mess. Second guess: Kellie Pickler and Kid Rock? Bitch is always giggling around his ass like he's tickling her clitty. This male A list (unfortunately) producer/singer/performer has several children. He goes to all of his children's events. He doesn't go for their activities though. His favorite game is to find the best looking mothers of other children and then has his kids invite those kids to play dates. Our producer then hits on the moms when they come over. It doesn't matter if they are single or married, he goes after them all. (CDAN) TOM JONES again! I was going to go with Diddy, but then I read the "singer" part. Tori Spelling says that everybody hates her from 90210. No doubt. But more people probably hate this other bitch who has virtually alienated all of her former costars and is widely known to be a pain in the aass but for some reason enjoys a popularity and a paycheque usually reserved for much more accomplished actors. So she’s rich now, yes, but that doesn’t mean she’s generous. And she’ll gouge you while she can, so aggressively that she was reprimanded by executives recently for trying to wrangle cash money out of the budget to pay for her hotel suites. Not an expense account, but straight up CASH. Apparently she was so belligerent about getting a free ride, and using her free ride cash money in other shady ways, so relentless with the demands, the people on the receiving end were emotional wrecks by the end of her tantrum. This was abuse. But there’s a history here: she’s already been rejected by her former bosses for insisting that they contribute to the furnishing of her personal residence and for inexplicably requesting that they cover the cost of her mother’s car. Every time they said no, she would call it an injustice, adding to a long list of perceived injustices that she claims affected her performance. People have been trying and trying to excuse her fuckery. There is no excuse. She is not kind, she is not gracious, and she is cheap ass. (Lainey Gossip) This is not someone form 90210, so direct your eyes away from my beloved Brenda Walsh. This blind item smells like loogies coated in Marlboro ash, so it has to be Katherine HAAAAAAAGEL (question mark inserted her for bookkeeping purposes). That's my final guess! We may finally have an explanation for this actress’ behavior. She’s been stricken with vampire fever! More specifically, we mean that the girl is crazy for the genre, and even more crazy for two certain vampire actors. Through her rep, she has been begging the producers of Twilight, Vampire Diaries, and True Blood for a role. Any role. As long as she gets to play a vampire. One of the above is actually considering it, but they are not sure if it would result in a backlash from current fans. Besides, they are not thrilled about the idea of shooting around her other projects. Yes, despite her career dip, she is still getting work. I know, I know: Who would be crazy enough to hire her? Apparently, those who love drama.

Ever since tobacco sponsorship was banned from F1, however, traditional Marlboro branding has been absent from the Italian cars.In recent weeks, though, accusations flew, alleging that the replacement "bar code" logo adorning the Ferraris' engine covers was merely a subliminal reference to the tobacco brand. After Ferrari president Luca di Montezemolo insisted just days ago that the "argument was pointless," the cars appeared in Barcelona devoid of the controversial livery.

Historically, tobacco advertising has been commonplace in motorsports, F1 in particular. Imperial Tobacco's Gold Leaf brand started off sponsoring the 1968 Monaco Grand Prix, leading a trend that would see tobacco companies sponsoring teams and races for decades to come. British American Tobacco went so far as to field its own cars - the British American Racing team that later became Honda , then Brawn GP and now races under the Mercedes GP banner. For several years, Marlboro (like Santander today) sponsored both McLaren and Ferrari, before concentrating its efforts on the Scuderia. By the late 1990s, however, European countries in particular began outlawing tobacco advertising in sports, leading to the withdrawal (no pun intended) of most major tobacco companies from Formula One. Williams became the first major team to run without cigarette branding in 2000, and since then all the major tobacco companies have pulled out of the sport, with the notable exception of Philip Morris. Like other teams had initially, Ferrari continues to run livery on its F1 cars that - in compliance with European regulations - doesn't explicitly include the name of its sponsor. The brand continues, however, to be part of the team's name (known officially as Scuderia Ferrari Marlboro in a deal reportedly worth $1 billion), and over the years the Marlboro logo has grown increasingly abstract on the livery to the point that today it's little more than a red, white and black bar-code. Although the team had, until a couple of years ago, run with the Marlboro name on the cars in overseas races where regulations permitted tobacco advertising, since 2008 Ferrari has run only with the bar-code logo. British pundits, however, say the abstraction is not enough, pointing to the bar-code and even the team's use of the color red as subliminal advertising of the team's title sponsor. Ferrari has released a statement refuting the charges, saying the bar-code logo has not been scientifically proven to be subliminal advertising, and that the red livery has been integral to the team since its inception and the dawn of motorsports. Follow the jump for Ferrari's argument and judge for yourself.
