Not just any man, THE man.  Austin’s own adopted golden boy, Lance Armstrong crashed his bike during a five day race in Spain.  The bad news, he was only 12 miles from the finish line, the even WORSE news is that he broke his collarbone.  This was Armstrongs fourth race after coming out of retirement.  What’s amazing is this the first time that he will be sidelined due to injury in his 17 year professional career.  Lance is currently back in the states where he will undergo surgery.  Hopefully it will be healed in time for him to compete in the Tour de France in July.

One of these things is not like the other...

I heard from a source that Lance Armstrong has pulled out of his contract at the shore condos on Lady Bird Lake.  I would like to think that it had something to do with him impregnanting his girlfriend and wanting to purchase a place close to her family, but the source said he was supposed to live on the 19th floor, and pulled out because they aren’t offering hotel services anymore.  He’s Lance Freakin’ Armstrong, he shouldn’t have to wash his own sheets, or put a mint on his own pillow.

Frank Beard has recenetly purchased a Lake Travis Home.  You might know Frank Beard as the non-bearded member of ZZ Top.  Beard was born in Frankston, Texas and attended high school in Irving, Texas.  Even with a lack of a beard he is still able to Mustache up an awesome drum solo.  Friday Night Lights actors Jesse Plemons, (Landry - who is only 20!  They have a 20 year old playing an 18 year old.  That’s about as close as it gets to having an actor/character the same age in hollywoodland) and Taylor Kitsch (Riggins) both have purchased condos in  Austin.  Plemons is keeping it real on the eastside, while Kitsch opted to stay cool down south.

Everyone’s favorite seven-time Tour de France winner, (You see… You see how I did that.  He is the ONLY seven-time Tour de France winner, so therefore he MUST be your favorite) has a new lady love.  Lance has recently been spotted out and about with Goldie Hawn replica, Kate Hudson.  The two have been taking their relationship to the streets of Austin (spotted at Sushi Restaurant Uchi), and New York, whilst simultaneously denying it on talk shows.  I don’t understand why it is so hard to confirm and move on.  As we all know, Kate has famously dated actor Owen Wilson, who famously is friends with Lance.  I would give my third arm to be there when they all happen to bump into one another.  Awkward!
