Dear LALA,

Deion Sanders, here, with a very urgent question. My wife, Pilar, hit me in my own house. She even brought a friend. What do I do? Do I:

A. Call the police?

B. Fight Back?

C. Have her removed from the premises by threatening to call the police?

D. None of the Above?

Dear Deion,

First of all, I’d like to say thanks for humbling yourself to genuinely seek out some Anne Lander’s type wisdom by asking me this question. Sounds like you got yourself a conundrum there. What I foresee in the future is some amicable arrangement where the kiddos are concerned, and some sort of sane relationship where you and Pilar are concerned. Now, I know you are alleging that her and her friend showed up to beat you up at your house. This could pose a real security problem. But, here’s how I see it. Deion, is it possible that you, yourself, may have said something cocky to maybe invite a slap across the face? I’m not saying it was okay, but how uncool would it be if you had said something so mean and atrocious and almost unforgivable and in a moment of weakness, she slapped you? Sometimes, we say the meanest things and immediately wish we could take them back, leading us to apologize. Sometimes, we say the cruelest things, and before we can apologize, BOOM, the consequences slap us in the face… no bruise intended… I mean, no pun intended.

Anywho, it is with only experience in this type of situation that I may speak with such lightheartedness. I truly hope in your situation, that there is no real and present danger, there, of you, your estranged wife, or you children getting hurt. I mean, they are getting hurt right now with parents fighting and slapping in front of them, definitely. So, here’s my advice to you:

Do the following:

1. Get counseling to mend the marriage or finalize the divorce.

2. Improve security at your house (Move this to the number one spot).

3. Maybe work out so that you can better block these type of hits.  7DayFitness.com provides Virtual Online Personal Trainers so that you can do the workout in the comfort of your own home megagym you probably have.  (Lucky!)  Put a big screen in there and link it with your laptop and look us up.

4. Whenever you see women walk in a ‘pack’ run for cover. They can be dangerous to a meek guy like yourself. (Move this to the number two spot).

5. Either way, when you speak to anyone and you fear that there might be an altercation, REMOVE YOUR CHILDREN FROM THEIR PRESENCE! Haven’t you ever seen THE BLIND SIDE with the great SANDRA BULLOCK??? The boy’s mother who did crack tells him to close his eyes and that’s what saved him from a life as a drug dealer or street thug? Hide this temporary violence from your kids.

So, you can see that this was written with seriousness and humor. Seriously, you need help with your situation as far as something being not ‘exactly right’. So, take a deep, long look at your life and consider removing some negatives out of it to further remove some DRAMA.

And no, I don’t just mean remove Pilar. Look elsewhere… look inside of yourself and your bad habits. You can only change you.

Good luck Deion!

Way to go on trending online! You are tied with Mad Cow Disease. (Not really… they’re ahead… it’s okay)

Postscript: He didn’t really write me. For those of you who believe he did, I have something a wise person in the eighties once told me…

“DOY!” (Translates to you’re silly).

Second Postscript: Check out my other letter from John Edwards… such an unexpected surprise...

 Well, Ted Nugent, who is famous for his songs, "Stranglehold" and "Cat Scratch Fever", is in hot water with President Barack Obama's Administration.  He is having a meeting with the Secret Service Agents next week, to discuss his comments at the most recent NRA (National Rifle Association) meeting. 
 He is quoted as calling this administration an "evil, America-hating administration" and urged NRA members to "to ride into that battlefield and chop their heads off in November."
 Nugent also said if Obama were re-elected, "I will either be dead or in jail by this time next year."
 Obviously, the administration took his latter comment as a threat to President Obama's safety.  They believed, probably, that he was incinuating that he would harm President Obama.  It sounds like it; although, he could be saying that he would lose it and go crazy doing something illegal... not necessarily assassination.  
   And what if he is threatening him?  I've heard  people say things exactly like that, and I knew darn well what they were saying...  He better be glad he's having an open meeting with Secret Service Agents and not a hidden meeting with the CIA.  What did he mean, exactly?  We might never know.
 Ted Nugent is well-known for his outspoken ways which you can witness in the many reality shows he's appeared in... One was a 2-hour show on VH1, where he hosted, called "Surviving Nugent" where Tila Tequila moves in to see if she can make it in the backwoods life.  This show split off into a 4-part series where he actually injures himself with a chainsaw requiring 44 stitches.
 Ted Nugent speaks out against issues such as: obesity, public healthcare and higher taxes and has played his guitar at the Alamo at the Tax Day Tea Party.
   Basically, you either love or hate the guy... there is no middle ground here.  He has quite a fan base, but let's see who's against him after this public stunt.

Postscript: LALA here.... check out the pic.  What do you think?  Does he do workouts here?  Could you get away with that outfit?  What is that?  A loin cloth?  LOL.  But, I digress...

This young man talks about how guys in the gym grunt and make excessive noises when they attempt to workout.  Have you ever seen the guy who throws the weight and screams at the top of his lungs like he is trying to make a statement lol.

If you cannot lift the weight without all the whooping and hollering lower your weight or just check out my home workouts.
This video is so hilarious but very true.  Enjoy

GET FIT WITH PASSION

“Instead of radiation, I’m going to go ahead and move forward,“ Rancic -- flanked by her husband Bill -- told Ann Curry about the procedure, in which both of her breasts will be surgically removed.

Rancic, who’s been public about her desire to have a child, said alternative treatments would have put her into early menopause, but that’s not the factor spurring the bold decision.

 “To be honest, at the end, all it came down to was choosing to live and not looking over my shoulder the rest of my life,” she said.

Bill, 40, kept a strong demeanor as he explained the technical aspects of their decision.

“We were faced with a decision to make ... this wasn’t a decision that was made lightly, we talked to as many experts as we could ... in this particular case, this is the best option for Giuliana.”

The E! host, 37, said the procedure will leave her with a less-than-1 percent chance of the cancer returning. She said Bill inspirationally told her, “I just need you around for the next 50 years, kid -- I don’t care what you look like ... so let’s just get you healthy” which bolstered her decision to go for the procedure.

She went into further detail about how her husband has helped her through the process.

“Bill has been the world to me through this,” she continued. “I couldn't have done it without Bill. Even right from the beginning, when we found out we had the option about mastectomy, we went in the backyard and I remember -- in typical Bill fashion -- he pulled out a yellow legal pad and made a pros and cons list of the mastectomy.

“And he just -- he brought some laughter to the process, some light to it and just kept reminding me who we are as a couple and that none of this is going to break us apart or get us down or affect our love for each other. In fact, it's just made it stronger and I couldn't be more at peace with the decision, but it was hard, and I still break down some nights when it's quiet in bed.

 “It's easy to just start crying and be very sad,” Giuliana said, “but I'm OK.”

The supportive spouse said he’s focused on the finish line, adding he hopes the cancer scare will be over by the holidays.

Other celebrity cancer survivors who’ve undergone the harrowing procedure include Christina Applegate, Wanda Sykes and Ann Jillian.

 

No more Oreos or Jamba Juice? Venus is aspiring to have a better diet in 2012.

A tall order for the taller sister. Can the meat-and-potatoes Wimbledon-queen summon her past success as a leaner and greener player?

Older sister Venus, who’s claimed five titles at the All England Club, is having a health scare of her own after being diagnosed with Sjogren’s Syndrome, an autoimmune disease, which can lead to damage of the body’s vital organs. The illness forced her drop out of the US Open this year and has pushed meat out of her diet.

Despite the seriousness of the condition, Venus has been sporting a positive attitude and even healthier eating habits. She told reporters, “I changed my diet completely, so lots of vegetables. I [altered] my mind frame completely because I was the person who always ate their steak first and their salad second.”

Times are changing for the superstar, who said last year that she “eats to live and not lives to eat.” She continued talking foodie favorites, saying that she considered “beans and rice and blackened chicken” a top meal choice.

Venus discussed her new diet’s impact on the future. “My goal next year is to play a full schedule. It will take some work to get there, but I’m no stranger to hard work.”

Murray aside, Venus’ newfound form and fitness will no doubt have fans worldwide salivating for a dominating force in an otherwise floundering WTA. Petra Kvitova, 21, the current world No. 2 and winner of Wimbledon and the Season Ending Championships, might be the answer. She’s still, however, young and half-baked in terms of talent and poise.

It’s time for Venus to turn up the burners and bring back the motivation for which she’s known. Currently ranked No. 103, having only played a handful of tournaments this year, Venus quickly doused rumors of retirement.

“I love the game. The racket feels right in my hand and I’m planning on going right back to where I was at the top of the rankings in the singles and doubles.”

With Venus back in-shape and on form, the alarm bells should be sounding for the rest of the women’s tour. It’ll be tough to get out of the fire and back into the figurative frying pan that is professional tennis at her ripe age of 31. But if anyone can come back from adversity and succeed, it’s a Williams.

High stakes (steaks?), indeed. Hint she likes home workouts and has a home trainer!!!
