Kesha: “I don’t know his name, but he was in my house . . . and he just started, like, caressing me. It was a sexy time, but it wasn’t, like, sex.”
Anna Nicole Smith: “A ghost would crawl up my leg and have sex with me at an apartment a long time ago in Texas. I was freaked out about it, but then I was, like, ‘Well, you know what? He’s never hurt me and he just gave me some amazing sex so I have no problem.'”
Bobby Brown: “One night I woke up to the sensation of a woman on top of me. I looked up and in the mirrors I could actually see a white woman straddling me on the bed. “The sensation felt exactly like sex. I could feel my penis inside of her and everything.”
Lucy Liu: “Some sort of spirit came down from God knows where and made love to me. It was sheer bliss. I felt everything. And then he floated away.”
Coco Austin (Mrs. Ice-T): “I was watching TV, I was sitting on the couch and I was wearing a nightie and I felt my dress move up my leg. I looked down and got freaked out. “I pushed it down, watched TV, felt it again and I could see it being pulled up. And then I felt a guy breathing in my ear.”
Dan Aykroyd: “Somebody crawled in bed with me once. And I thought, I’m just going to roll over and snuggle up next to it. “Maybe that guy was gay and he wanted to have some fun. I’d be surprised if I was his type, but when you’re dead, you’ll take what you can get.”

The rivalry in the midweat heats up for STL CITY SC’s first season as Sporting Kansas City beat San Jose 4-2 in a penalty kick shootout on Wednesday night in Kansas City in the Western Conference wild-card game. That sends SKC in to the first round to face St. Louis City SC on Sunday at CityPark for our first playoff match. Game 2 will be the following Sunday in Kansas City with Game 3, if necessary, in CityPark. City SC and Sporting KC met three times during the regular season, twice at CityPark and once at Children’s Mercy Park in Kansas. City SC won the first meeting, on May 20 at CityPark, 4-0. We lost the second match 2-1 with a bad offsides call in the meeting and the third match up this year was another CITY SC win 4-1. KC has been on a run. The first round of the playoffs is best-of-three, with no overtime and games going directly to penalty kicks if tied after regulation.

Stephen Curry from the Golden State Warriors is one of the most successful athletes in the world. So you’d think he’s already got his kids on the fast track to sports dominance. And you would be WRONG. Steph has two daughters, ages 11 and 8, and a 5-year-old son. And he’s not pushing them AT ALL. He says, quote, “We’re all backyard sports right now. Nothing too organized . . . It’s more just confidence building and their ability to find joy in everything they do. “I think that’s a huge part of kids these days, not feeling too much pressure on having to be successful or keep up with their counterparts . . . I’m trying to make sure they enjoy being a kid and finding joy in everything they do.”
