Mon, 12/22/2008 - 10:00am by bellasugar What would you do with approximately 250 bottles of nail polish? Why, painstakingly paint a giant colorful quilt on your car, of course. According to The Maryland Gazette that's just what Urbana resident Jill Bell did. After finding a dent in her car's hood, she cleverly painted a Band-Aid over the unsightly bump. Chuckle. She liked the idea so much, she decided to paint her entire car with nail polish! I'm guessing (and hoping) she didn't use one of those $30-a-pop lacquers from Chanel's Moscow Collection. Nope. What she did use? The help of others. "Lots of ladies in my church donated nail polish, and lots of ladies at Weight Watchers, too," she told the newspaper. Bell estimates that 100-250 bottles of nail polish were used to accomplish this feat — a feat that took 13 months to finish. Whoa.

Dec 22, 3:41 pm EST As a kid, Donald Brashear wanted to be a boxer. He didn’t get his wish exactly, but he came pretty close. Brashear is now a 36-year-old professional hockey player for the Washington Capitals. Officially, he’s a left winger, but he’s just as likely to be called an enforcer. He checks hard and punches harder. Brashear’s stats reflect his pugnacious playing style. Through Dec. 19, Brashear had earned 2,487 penalty minutes in 957 career NHL games. He’s also on our list of the most suspended athletes in major U.S. team sports over the past dozen years. According to Stats Inc., the winger ranks seventh with six suspensions. At the top of the list: NBA forward Ron Artest, with 12 suspensions. His most infamous came in the wake of a 2004 rumble between the Indiana Pacers (Artest’s team at the time) and the Detroit Pistons. During the brawl, Artest rushed a fan in the stands and punched another one on the court. The NBA kept Artest off the court for the remaining 73 games of

Reuters Sun Dec 7, 2008, 2:50 pm ET WASHINGTON (Reuters) – U.S. President-elect Barack Obama failed to give a straight answer when asked on a U.S. talkshow on Sunday whether he had managed to quit smoking. In a country where cigarettes are responsible for one in five deaths and smoking costs tens of billions of dollars in health care, Obama has been under pressure to set an example by giving up his reported two-decade-old habit. Appearing on NBC's "Meet the Press" program, interviewer Tom Brokaw told Obama he had ducked answering the question during an interview last month with ABC's Barbara Walters. Noting that the White House was a no-smoking zone, Brokaw asked Obama, "Have you stopped smoking?" "I have," Obama replied, smiling broadly. "What I said was that there are times where I have fallen off the wagon." "Wait a minute," Brokaw interjected, "that means you haven't stopped." "Fair enough," Obama sai

By Lucy Danziger, SELF Editor-in-Chief Posted Wed, Nov 26, 2008, 1:47 pm PST I love my long training runs, but most days carving out more than an hour to work out just isn't in the cards. And when my schedule is really crammed, shoehorning a sweat session seems next to impossible. Luckily, the fantastic fitness team at SELF let me in on a little secret: You can get an hour's worth of fitness and calorie burning in 20 short minutes. Yes, I was skeptical at first, but this fat-blasting routine is as ultraeffective as it is speedy, and the secret lies in high-intensity spurts of energy. Here's how to do it: • Pick any cardio you like (running, swimming, the elliptical trainer). Warm up for 2 minutes at a moderate pace, then sprint for 30 seconds at the highest intensity you can muster. Slow down and do 90 seconds at a catch-your-breath recovery pace. Repeat eight times. You'll torch more calories in less time, while you burn fat faster. Follow this cardio session with a fe

By Martin Rogers, Yahoo! Sports writer The Olympic Games motto of "Citius, Altius, Fortius" means "swifter, higher, stronger"—and the 2008 edition was also bigger, in every way. For 18 magical days in August, China threw its arms open to the world and put on an unforgettably lavish sporting and cultural extravaganza. 1. Michael Phelps 2. Leryn Franco 3. Serena Williams 4.

Nastia Liukin Iconic venues such as the Bird's Nest and the Water Cube were marvels of modern architecture and, intertwined with Beijing's ancient sites, provided a fascinating backdrop for the most expensive Games ever staged. A worldwide audience couldn't get enough of it, hungrily hunting down every detail on the characters playing out sport's most marvelously unscripted drama. The Olympics was a nightly epic soap opera, in which Michael Phelps played the ideal leading man. The

By Kevin Iole, Yahoo! Sports Dec 4, 10:41 pm EST LAS VEGAS – Oscar De La Hoya knows the media won’t be satisfied if he jabs his way to a clear-cut, but ho-hum, decision over Manny Pacquiao when they meet in the year’s biggest fight on Saturday at the MGM Grand Garden. The public, De La Hoya understands, won’t be enthralled by a workmanlike victory over the reigning pound-for-pound kingpin. But most importantly, De La Hoya himself won’t be satisfied by anything other than a clear, decisive victory. He’s fighting a guy who has spent exactly three-quarters of his career boxing at super bantamweight or lighter. Logic would dictate that a good big man – in this case De La Hoya – should be able to defeat the good smaller man. But to the Golden Boy, who is fighting the universally recognized pound-for-pound champion for the second time in his last three fights (the last one being his loss to Floyd Mayweather in May, 2007), anything other than a knockout is not good enough. “I will be extremel
