6 Q&A OF THE MONTH

Football season may be over, but it’s not the end of

“The Game” Yes, I’m one of those people who mourns the end of Football season (I tend to dress in black for weeks on end, although part of this may be because I am a Raiders fan), and although the real NFL may be over, I can still watch the San Diego Sabers every Sunday night (9/8c) on the CW. Who are the San Diego Sabers, you ask?

Don’t you mean the Chargers?

BY CHRIS HLAD Well, in case you’ve been living under a rock, the Sabers are a fictional football team on the CW’s hit show The Game, and if you watch the show, you will no doubt see why it’s a hit.

The Game follows the life of three women (Melanie Barnett, played by Tia Mowry, Tasha Mack, played by Wendy Raquel Robinson and Kelly Pitts, played by Brittany Daniel) and chronicles their struggles with being involved with professional football players.

While the show is a comedy, it doesn’t shy away from some of today’s most controversial issues. I recently had the privilege of talking to Brittany Daniel, and got to ask her about some of these issues, and what it is like to be starring in a hit T.V. show.

C.H.: “First and foremost, thanks for taking the time to speak with me.”

B.D.: “Absolutely! Thank you.”

C.H.: “What is a typical day of work like for you?”

B.D.: “I love going to work, and I love the character that I play. On set, every day is like a party. We play Frisbee, and someone is always being shot with one of those Nerf guns,” Brittany says,

laughing. “Oh yeah, and we throw in a couple I’m friends with Marcus Allen, and he was of rehearsals here and there. I also like the fact very considerate with regards to my research. that I’m playing the character of a real woman He would tell me how he’d be with his wife because it certainly gives me more range as an and a fan would ask her to take a picture or actress.” something without really acknowledging her.

C.H.: “So your character Kelly Marcus told me that when he on the show learns that while wasn’t practicing or traveling, being the wife of a professional it was all about taking care football player definitely has its of his wife. I’ve dated actors perks, it has its downsides too, before, so I could definitely right?” empathize with what his wife B.D.: “Yes.” went through.” (writer’s note: C.H.: “Are there any downsides This was obviously before I want a chill to being an actress on a hit became famous in her life, you know? Brittany show?” own right.)

I want to be B.D.: “Actually, no. I am C.H.: “If you weren’t an actress, enjoying this so much right would you be up for the able to go out now. The cast is great. I challenges of being involved and not have mean, we all have experience with a professional sports as actors, but there are really figure?” somebody no egos on the set. Honestly, B.D.: “Let’s just say I wouldn’t always we (the cast) actually hang choose to be with an athlete. I out together some nights. I want a chill life, you know? I asking for an think all of us are just very want to be able to go out and not autograph or appreciative of being on a hit have somebody always asking show.” for an autograph or something.” something.

C.H.: “So did the writer’s strike C.H.: “The issue of steroids came effect your socializing with the up on an episode, and you were cast?” willing to help your husband B.D.: “Not really. The cast still cheat on a test. How do you feel had dinners together and I even about steroids in reality?” went out with Tia and Wendy to B.D.: “That’s hard to comment a play!” on, because I’m not an athlete C.H.: “How did you research this role? Did myself. I think it’s a shame that they stripped you speak to actual wives and girlfriends of ex-athletes like Marion Jones of her medals. real players?”

I feel they should make an example out of B.D.: “Well, I actually grew up in Gainesville, athletes playing now if they feel the need to Florida, which is a huge football town, and I buckle down on the use of steroids in sports. have a lot of friends who are athletes. In fact, But to humiliate ex-athletes seems vicious.”

“

”

C.H.: “You may not be a professional athlete, but anyone who looks at you can see that you’re in great shape. What does your workout regimen consist of?”

B.D.: “I’m always switching it up. There’s this giant sand dune with a very steep hillside-I think it’s in Manhattan Beach-and one day I’ll do sprints up that. The next day I’ll do the stairs in Santa Monica or lift weights. I’m also into Spin Classes, weights, running, and I’ve started doing Power Yoga.”

C.H.: “So what’s next for Brittany Daniel?”

B.D.: “I’m so proud of this. I produced a show with a working title of ‘The Ruby and Brittany Project’, and it’s about a very close friend of mine who needs to lose 500 lbs. If it gets picked up, it will be on the Style Network, and I should know in a few days. I’m also working on my own fitness clothing line.”

C.H.: “Sounds like a busy life. Any long term relationship plans in the future?”

B.D. “I’ll tell you, right now, I’m enjoying life so much that it’s a question of why get married? I’ve got so much that I want to do!”

C.H.: “Okay, lastly, I’ve got to know, are you an actual football fan?”

B.D.: “Growing up in Gainesville, you bet.

The only problem is now that I’m in L.A., it’s more difficult. My dad will always ask me if I watched the Gators game, and I keep telling him it’s hard because I’m so busy! But, I always promise him I’ll catch the next one.”

C.H.: “And your favorite professional football team?”

B.D.: “The Sabers, of course!”

C.H.: “Well, thank you for your time. You’re energy is infectious, and I wish you nothing but success.”

B.D.: “Thanks!”

8 LOVE & MONEY

Gold diggers

and the men who love them

BY APRIL KING

N

ow I aint saying she a golddigga, but broke dudes need not apply.

A very reliable internet source defines gold digger as a pejorative term for a person who pursues romantic relationships for the sake of monetary wealth. Pejorative being the defining term here. Basically what this definition does is project this person in a critical fashion. I, myself, have a little more compassion for a person of this nature.

For the sake of this article, I will be analyzing this from a woman’s perspective. Fellas, you are more than supported on this issue already. As a woman who spent the majority of her dating years giving the broke guys major love, I have recently admitted to swearing off broke ass dudes for good. Now this is not to say that I am catapulting myself into digger status, I just prefer someone who can at least meet what I’m bringing to the table. Is this too much to ask?

Back to the topic because this article isn’t about my personal

dating preferences, but about the true diggers lurking amongst us. The difference between the opportunist and me is that as I ask myself, “Self, why you gotta to settle for anything less,” the diggers are asking for more, more, more.

Now, I am not gonna bash these lovely ladies, but instead I am gonna try to understand their thought process. It is expensive and time consuming going to the hair and nails salon, and waxing isn’t very enjoyable either. Staying beautiful 24/7 is a difficult job, a job most of us are unwilling to partake. And there is a market for the services that these ladies are offerings. Cause if it weren’t, then I wouldn’t have an article to write, right?

Let’s start with the fellas. Men these days are making all the rules and I’m not quite sure when we allowed this paradigm to shift. In the era of big money rappers, subjective music videos and overpaid athletes, the everyday woman can’t compete when it comes to catching a cool dude. I’ve been dating for quite some time now and the offerings in the

male department are becoming slim to none. I’ve observed men doing everything possible in their mating dance to attract women, then judge these same women for flocking toward them. My sentiment is that if you want the ladies to see you for who you are on the inside, then let that part of yourself shine brighter than your wrist. It’s as if the media has set the bar on self worth and that worth has become synonymous to how people view their own significance.

I have seen many men display their economic status to the women they chase. And in this era of excess, value is flaunted through the big house, the bigger car and most importantly, the exotic female on their arm.

If these same men are so hell bent on denouncing women who seek a man of means, then why are they only exhibiting this aspect of themselves? My hypothesis is that men enjoy the attention of the gold digging women as much as the women enjoy getting fat child support checks every month.

So, in support of diggers worldwide and the men who love them, I’ll end with a famous quote that went something like this: “It’s just as easy to fall in love with a rich man, as it is a poor one.”

The difference between the opportunist and me is that as I ask myself, “Self, why you gotta to settle for anything less,” the diggers are asking for more, more, more.

LITTLE ADVICE 11

A lesson in

Charm School…

I

t is safe to assume that when men go shopping for their high-salary deals and multi-million dollar contracts, they also raid the store’s and shelves for the matching ego and attitude. But many well-heeled men whine that after becoming wealthy, all they seem to attract are “gold diggers,” women who just want their money

“

Now that women know who I am, they just want what I have...

Should that surprise them?

I mean, really. The very first thing the man does with those big bucks is buy the newest space age car, a million dollar smile and, lest we forget, the “Million Dollar Man” tattoo on his forearm. Why do you think he goes above and beyond to purchase overpriced pinky rings and diamond-studded pendants? Simple to attract the opposite sex, of course, but, then there’s the billion dollar question - what type on women does he think is attracting?

That type of bling bling is only going to attract women with tunnel vision.

A woman like that can only see what stares her in the face. She can’t see beyond the blinged-out grillz, or around those 24” rims. She can’t pick up on the humongous ego, a potential “Run Girl!” warning sign.

She doesn’t pause to reflect that he may have a wife and six kids at home. All she sees is…dollar signs.

I constantly hear complaints like “Now that women know who I am,

and “Five sure signs that she is only after your money.” But they all seem to miss a key element in the equation: It just might be your own behavior that makes you a target to gold diggers; stop blaming these women for alerting them to the obvious.

Attracting the real thing is not about how many carrots you have in your ear. Now that’s not to say that a you’re going to score points by looking like a homeless man, but there is a way to appear successful in an under-stated way. Real women care more about what you offer on the inside than on the outside. After all, what quality woman wants to be involved with a man with a large bank account whom he treats like the soles of his shoes? And not the soles of the Louis Vuitton’s he struts around in now, but those old rundown Converse Chuck’s hidden away somewhere in the back of his closet.

Look…all I’m saying is, be smarter, fellahs. If you need a lesson in what to avoid, watch an episode of the show, Charm School - the last thing in the world you want is a second hand “Flavor of Love” Chick!

Who’ve thunk they same girl that yelled “This 54 and Crenshaw Bitches” would have won the charm school challenge.

You see what happened to Flavor Flav, all his money, jewelry and lavish clocks couldn’t keep Hoopz, or Delicious. Don’t let it happen to you.

”

they just want what I have!” To these men I say: “Stop advertising your bank roll on your teeth.” The women with tunnel vision don’t need to look hard because you wear your money on your sleeve, literally. Imagine a big-time drug-dealer who goes out and purchases a Sky Blue Mercedes Benz, places a sticker on the rear window that reads “Li’l Tiny Loc’s Ride” and when he inevitably gets pulled over, wonders how the police were on to him.

News flash Tiny Loc…you gave away the game yourself and that is exactly what the complainers do.

Of course, there are many books and blogs on the subject of “How to tell if she is a gold digger”

WARNING: These tips may cause your man to call you constantly; they also may cause you to have

enough to get him going, so don’t shy away because you feel like your body is not good enough. You only get one body, so be confident in your skin. Who knows the very mark or scar that you feel self-conscious about just might get him in the mood, so let it show.

Use Kegels Exercise those muscles during sex 

Once you have located the muscles simply tighten and relax the muscle over and over, about 200 times a day. These are basic kegels. There are many variations on kegels: elevator kegels (tighten slowly, in increments going in and out, like an elevator stopping on several floors), you can hold the muscle tight for five seconds, then bulge the muscles out at the end, and many other variations. Once you have exercised your muscles, then it is easier to use them during sex.

Sex is just as much mental as it is physical. When your mind takes you to that place, then your body will automatically follow. When you have a mental connection, it takes your experience to another level. Building anticipation is the key, it can take him from “oh I just want to hit it and quit it” to “she made me wait so she is a keeper.” All guys like the thrill of the chase, so don’t give in and raise the white flag just yet.

Lingerie

Learn your partner’s erotic zones, his hot spots, on your own without being told. Use all your five senses to figure him out.

Notice his reaction when you do different things, and master it. Don’t be afraid to share your hot spots with him either. You want him to master yours as well.

 Be prepared  Stay fresh and clean

Sight and smell can make a mood or break a mood. If you know that you may get intimate be well prepared before you go out of the house. Even if you plan on bathing at his place, take a bath at home first. The last thing you want it to leave a ring around his tub.

Learn His Hot Spots Learn Your Hot Spots

Our body moves at a rhythm. Our heart beats at a rhythm, and our blood flows through our veins at a rhythm. Whether you get him on your rhythm or you get on his, move to the rhythm, and keep the rhythm. Move like you would move when you’re dancing to your favorite song; don’t go to fast or too slow, but to the beat of the moment.

D

avid Beckham is well known for his pecs, muscular legs and sexy tattoos. His steamy underwear ad campaigns prove that he has the kind of body that simply makes women lust for more. On the soccer field Beckham confirms that he can “bring it,” with moves that score major points for the team – and with the fans. Facing tough opponents, The Los Angeles Galaxy’s star player has proven that he has what it takes for the top spot - but is he any match for his wife Victoria Beckham?

After nine years of marriage, David still seems to go weak in the knees in the presence of that sensational beauty, Victoria Beckham. Even before meeting her, he said, “She’s so beautiful. I just love everything about that girl… you know, I’ve got to meet her.” He did, of course – and the rest is history. The couple appeared to be almost inseparable from that moment on. So even with women going absolutely gaga over David, Victoria doesn’t break a sweat - she possesses the secret that women would kill for.

At 33, Victoria Beckham (formerly Posh Spice of the Spice Girls), is a crowd pleaser with her style, grace and celebrity status. Since her days with the girl group, her weather blond or brunette hair in a short and sassy cut gives her the look of a champion’s wife.

Her self-confidence wowed the public, but one suspects that she displays it in her private life as well.

To tame a guy like David Beckham, one must have confidence where it counts the most - the boudoir - and Victoria has that down pat. Although she doesn’t have the moves of a soccer player, she knows the rhythms of her body and still retains the pizzazz of a pop star. The way she walks, her pose on the red carpet, convey one message: “I am Victoria Beckham and this is my turf.”

Victoria radiates the sort of poise that all women should strive for.

She has the kind of poise that keeps her man traveling in her lane.

Which proves that “She got game!”

16 Q&A EXCLUSIVE

OneOn One Shaun

with

Livingston BY: A. WOODS

The old saying “All the good men are gone” obviously doesn’t’ include Shaun Livingston. The 22- year-old point guard for the Los Angels Clippers is more than just “another young jock;” he is genuine, modest - and get this, ladies - single. We caught up with the heartthrob to give you a rare peek into the day-to-day thoughts, feelings and life of Shaun Livingston of the L.A. Clippers, number 14.

Q&A EXCLUSIVE 17

Women Dig Sports: You are the point guard for the Los Angeles Clippers, how important is your position to the team?

Shaun Livingston:

My position is very important, because the point guard is usually the engine of the team. I was drafted very high coming straight out of high school, so the Clippers had a vision for me to be a very important piece to this team. So to answer your question, the point guard is obviously important, if not the most important, position on the team.

Women Dig Sports: Take me back to the day you were drafted…what was that feeling like for you?

Shaun Livingston: It was great, I mean it was literally a dream come true for me. It was always my dream to play NBA basketball, every since I was a child watching the greats like Michel Jordan, Magic Johnson and Larry Bird. To be young and experience that straight out of high school like I did - or at all - is just great.

Women Dig Sports: Now, did you ever imagine that the name Shaun Livingston would be a household name when you were playing in… elementary school, Jr. High School, or even High School?

Shaun Livingston: When I practiced by myself and shot by myself I would count down and say, “Shaun Livingston going for the shot to win the game.” Stuff like that. {Smile} But never did I imagine that it would be this big. I appreciate all the love and sup-

port that I get from my fans and they are truly the ones that make this happen.

Women Dig Sports: With the Clippers having a tough season, how difficult has that been for you?

Shaun Livingston: Man, it’s been very difficult.

A), because I haven’t played at all this year and I’ve never been out this long in my career since I’ve picked up a basketball and B), because you know, that’s my team and we were good. You know what I’m sayin’? So… Women Dig Sports: I know that tattoos are very popular amongst NBA players; do you have any?

Shaun Livingston: No, I’ve never been a big tattoo guy, never. That just wasn’t my dig.

Women Dig Sports: You don’t want any?

Shaun Livingston: Naw, I’ve never been a tattoo guy.

I don’t know if it would really look right on me.

Women Dig Sports: Tell the truth; are you scared of the pain?

Shaun Livingston: No, well needles, I don’t know. I mean I’m not too fond of them, but it’s not really a big deal. I just never really got into ‘em.

Women Dig Sports: Now, seeing that you were drafted straight from high school, do you at times feel that you missed out on the college experience?

Shaun Livingston: Um, {he took the longest pause EVER} all the time, especially these last couple of weeks, because of the March madness. That’s the most important time were it’s just all exciting and

By Matt Windman amNewYork Theater Critic

sometimes I feel like “Man I wish I could have played” but it’s over now so I feel like…I’m good. If I had to do it all over again, I would have made the same decisions. It sometimes feels like that “would’a, could’a, should’a,” but I’m good where I am now.

So what is this I heard about the Shaun Livingston Foundation…can you tell me more about that?

Shaun Livingston: I started the foundation my second year out of high school with my brother, who along with myself has always had a passion for working with kids, I always wanted to give back to the community. I feel very privileged that I am at liberty to do so.

Let’s switch gears for a minute…I am dying to know about Shaun Livingston off court.

Women Dig Sports: Your birthday is on 9/11, and for many years that was a day of celebration. Due to the tragic events, how has that day changed for you?

Shaun Livingston: Wow, that’s a hard question. Over the years it has been getting better…the first few years it was hard, because on the day that I wanted to celebrate, all I could think of were those innocent people who lost their lives. As I am getting older, I still mourn but I am learning to take it one year at a time.

Women Dig Sports: What is the craziest thing a fan has done to get your attention?

Shaun Livingston: The craziest thing a fan has ever done? WOW, that’s a good question. Probably…

Women Dig Sports: What - take her shirt off?

Shaun Livingston: I have to keep it appropriate Women Dig Sports: I’m just sayin’.

Shun Livingston: I would say the craziest thing a fan has done was chase down my car like I was the President or something. Just to get an autograph or say “Hi.” Women Dig Sports: {Smile] Come on, your Shaun Livingston, there has to be something better

Take Me Along

COMING FROM PAGE 17

The critics (including this one) swooned en masse over the weekend for Lincoln Center’s lush revival of “South Pacific,” but if you want to shake things up, check out what Off-Broadway and Off-Off-Broadway had to offer in musical revivals.

To figure out why the Irish Repertory Theatre is reviving the 1959 Bob Merrill musical “Take Me Along,” you’d have to play Six Degrees of Separation: “Take Me Along” is an adaptation of the play “Ah, Wilderness!” which was written by Eugene O’Neill, whose parents were Irish.

It’s hard to believe that “Take Me Along” has not received a major production since a 1985 Broadway revival that folded on opening night. Its score includes the

This all-Americana-flavored show looks at a middle-class Connecticut family on the Fourth of July in 1920. To sum up its senti-

mental plot, Aunt Lily is an old-maid schoolteacher waiting for Uncle Sid to lick his drinking problem and finally marry her; young Richard is anxious to experience “life” and gets drunk; and patriarch Nat Miller is trying to make sense of it all.

With an excellent 11-actor cast and four-musician band, Charlotte Moore provides a

charming, immensely pleasurable production. In particular, William Parry (Nat) and Beth Glover (Lily) give extremely heartfelt performances. If you see the show, by all means, take me along!

Game It’s well known that looking good makes you feel better. You go to a basketball, hockey, baseball, or football game to have fun – but obviously, looking your best will add to the fun.

Jeans

The right pair of jeans is key. Now jeans can be rather tricky: you want a pair that will show off your curves yet at the same time be comfortable.

Even if you are not a fan of the Spandex family, I would strongly suggest you look for jeans that are at least 2% Spandex.

Next, your fragrance. Make sure you pick a perfume that works for you. Some women like fruit, others a stronger scent. As with make-up, don’t go over the top with your perfume. Spray it in strategic places, like behind your ears, so that when you hug your significant other, he notices it.

Remember, no matter what fragrance you choose, wear it with confidence.

We are normally loathe to report on the comings The BUZZ with and goings of famous-fornothing pseudo-celeb Heidi Montag.

However, this little tidbit was too good to pass up.

The often-reviled co-star of MTV’s fauxreality show, “The Hills,” made headlines last week when she put her political support behind Sen. John McCain.

Funny thing about that: Montag isn’t even registered to vote (despite, we’re told, an episode in which Montag and Co. attended a Declare Yourself voting event).

The concerned citizens at Radar.com did a quick search of registered voters in both the “Hills” of Los Angeles, as well as her hometown of Crested Butte, Colo., and found that no one named “Heidi Montag” exists in either database.

Will she register to vote?

No, they’re not bringing back “Baywatch” (though it’s not a bad idea), but Pamela Anderson is headed back to television. Well, reality television, that is.

The buxom blonde will be featured in an “observational documentary” series tentatively titled “Pamela,” set to air on E! this summer.

According to the an-

nouncement released by the network yesterday, “Viewers will get to know the real woman behind the famous breasts and follow Pam as she tries to juggle love, career and peace of mind.”

“Going beyond the fame and fortune, this is Pam at her core, living her life with no regrets.”

Sounds like a hit.

Pamela Anderson

Ladies:P.S.

When you attend a sports event, please remember: it is also about you. So be you at your best while enjoying the game!
