ESPN analyst Steve Phillips fired over sex scandal, heads to rehab

Baseball analyst Steve Phillips was fired by ESPN Sunday night, less than a week after he admitted to an affair with a production assistant.   Phillips’ acknowledgment Wednesday of his relationship with 22-year-old Brooke Hundley whom he met when the two were working at the All-Star Game in St. Louis, was not unlike David Letterman’s situation but big difference in the outcome.  According to a police report filed in Wilton, Conn., Hundley began calling Phillips’ wife, Marni, on Aug. 5 after he broke off the affair and sent her a letter graphically describing their relationship.  Marni Phillips called police Aug. 19 when she came home to find Hundley in her driveway. “I knew instinctively that this was the woman Steve was involved with and I was terrified,” she wrote in a statement to police.
Hundley also contacted Phillips’ 16-year-old son through his Facebook account, according to the police report.  Marni Phillips filed for divorce Sept. 14, according to court records.
The network made the announcement last night during Game 6 of the ALCS championship Yankees versus Angels, which Phillips normally would have been analyzing in a TV studio.

“Steve Phillips is no longer working for ESPN,” the network said in a statement.
“His ability to be an effective representative for ESPN has been significantly and irreparably damaged, and it became evident it was time to part ways.”
Steve Lefkowitz, Phillips’ representative, said in an e-mail that his client “is voluntarily admitting himself to an inpatient treatment facility to address his personal issues, and informed ESPN of his plans Friday.”
In 1998, Steve Phillips admitted having sex with a Mets employee, who sued for sexual harassment. That case was settled out of court. Phillips was fired by the Mets in 2003.

Sean Penn flies off to Interview Fidel Castro in Cuba

Actor Sean Penn, known for his political activism, is bound for Cuba to meet with revolutionary leader, Fidel Castro for Vanity Fair magazine. According to TMZ, Penn’s interview with Castro will focus on the changes in relations between the Communist country and the U.S., since Barack Obama took office.

Penn is traveling with London-based philanthropist Diana Jenkins, who had a hand in setting up a possible meeting with the reticent ailing leader. Penn’s representative also told TMZ a meeting with Castro was planned.

President Obama has taken steps in recent months to ease relations with the isolated Communists country, by relaxing rules on visits to the country and allowing family in the U.S. to send money transfers to the island.
The two-time Academy Award winner for his roles in Mystic River and Milk, has been active in supporting several controversial political and social causes including a close relationship with Venezuelan president Hugo Chávez. On June 10, 2005 for example, Penn made a visit to Iran. Acting as a journalist on an assignment for the San Francisco Chronicle, he attended a Friday prayer at Tehran University.

Shakira Chats About Her Oral Fixation, Ruins It By Mentioning Babies

There has always been a trend in Hollywood where an actress, singer, or wannabe-starlett will say something apparently innocent, that sounds unbelievably suggestive.  Shakira started an interview with Rolling Stone magazine in precisely this way.
“I’ve always lived through my mouth,” she was quoted as saying.

“It’s my biggest source of pleasure: what I say, what I sing, the kisses I give, the chocolate I eat.”
She has apparently been seeing a therapist with a Freudian leaning because she just can’t keep things away from those full, pouty lips. Nice.
But she couldn’t keep us thinking about inappropriate things for for. She went on to explain that she had her long time boyfriend are planning on starting a family.
Shakira is hoping to begin trying for their first child at the end of this tour. We at Hot Momma wish her luck, but it won’t be easy as long as she keeps that oral fixation…pregnancy doesn’t work that way.
