Vanilla Ice?
I don't understand how they do that. lol I sit on the top level so I can see inside the blanket (or whatever she wraps herself in) but I still don't see how she does that! I like that halftime performance though. But hopefully they'll have something BETTER than that. hah
Nah, Robert Horry is better looking and has talent. I can't say the latter for Will Smith.What is the difference between Robert Horry and Will Smith?

I'm gonna guess Toby Keith. Not because I want him to play, but I want to see the meltdown half of this board will go into...
Jeanne Jakle: Game 1 to feature heavy star power

San Antonio Express-News
San Antonio will see major stars this week when the Spurs start their race for another championship ring.
According to ABC Sports, actor/rapper Will Smith and singer Alanis Morissette will perform in the SBC Center on Thursday for Game 1 of the NBA Finals.
Morissette, of "Jagged Little Pill" fame, will sing the national anthem, reports ABC Sports publicist Adam Freifeld. Her televised performance of "The Star-Spangled Banner" has some special meaning — she became a U.S. citizen earlier this year. Smith will perform the hit single "Switch" from his new album, "Lost and Found." The pre-game musical portion of the telecast starts at 7:30 p.m. on ABC (KSAT).
On Sunday, "American Idol's" most stellar graduate, Kelly Clarkson, will perform the anthem. But she'll appear via satellite from the Persian Gulf. She's there doing a USO tour with NBA legends. Clarkson has two Top 10 singles: "Behind These Hazel Eyes" and "Since U Been Gone."
PS: I'm told by PR whiz Joy Reinagel that "Desperate Housewives" star Eva Longoria is expected to be on hand for at least one NBA Finals games to cheer on her favorite Spur, Tony Parker.
Good sportsmanship: ESPN deserves a big kiss for spotlighting so many warm hugs between the San Antonio Spurs and the Phoenix Suns following the Spurs' victory game for the Western Conference Championship.
Scene after scene of good sportsmanship between the teams after such a hard-fought game made a huge impression on my 12-year-old son, Jake, who was watching the game with me.
Seeing Tim Duncan and other players embrace tough compe ors such as Amare Stoudemire was a picture worth a thousand words on the importance of being gracious winners and losers.
Not a fan: A hiss, however, comes from a viewer who hopes her favorite shows won't be interrupted for update after update about the Spurs once the finals are under way Thursday.
The disgruntled female caller said she naturally supports the Spurs, but doesn't feel that viewers should miss out on parts of regular programs — such as last Thursday's "Tonight Show with Jay Leno" — with live, local break-ins on the team's progress.
Famous weekend
No doubt lots more celebrities will pepper the audience at the finals. As far as the broadcast, Al Michaels will be at the SBC Center doing play-by-play with Hubie Brown as analyst and Michele Tafoya as reporter. Bill Walton and Mike Tirico will be on-site in the studio.
Speaking of famous faces, stars also are expected here for the first Shooting for the Stars Celebrity Weekend, which will help fund youth and family programs in the San Antonio area. The events, which include nightclub parties and hotel events, basketball clinics, teen extravaganzas and a golf tournament, are expected to draw Hollywood names and NBA and NFL pros.
According to Reinagel, who is helping to publicize the weekend, stars confirmed include Jenny McCarthy of the new series "The Bad Girl's Guide," rapper Lil' Romeo ("Honey") and Mike Epps ("The Honeymooners" remake's Ed Norton).
A 'Lost' link
Here's another reason for San Antonians to tune in "Lost" next season (even if you, like many viewers who contacted me, were disappointed by the finale): ABC announced Monday that a former Alamo City resident has joined the regular cast.
Mic e Rodriguez, hard-bodied beauty of such films as "Blue Crush" and "The Fast and the Furious," will play Ana-Lucia Cortez, a passenger on the plane that crashed and left all those intriguing survivors on that mysterious island. She was briefly introduced on the first part of the two-part finale in a flashback with Jack (Matthew Fox) at a Sydney Airport bar.
Rodriguez was born in Texas and spent part of her childhood in San Antonio before moving to the Dominican Republic.
Finding a sister
In a plot line similar to that of Sidney Bristow's in "Alias," a striking WOAI reporter finally will meet a half sister she never knew when she flies to Venezuela today.
Until she was 18, Natalia Zea, who's known for her news reports on border situations, thought she was an only child.
Then, when she connected again with her father — who was divorced from her mom when Zea was 2 — she discovered he had fathered another daughter in a prior relationship.
She has corresponded by phone with her older sister, Karelys Villaroel , but they've never met. Now they not only will spend more than a week together in Caracas, but Zea also will get to play the role of aunt for the first time.
Villaroel has a 3-year-old son, Cesar. "I've been running around buying gifts at Toys R Us," Zea said.
She said one reason she worked on her Spanish — "I'm basically fluent now" — was so she could communicate better with her sis.
"I'm really excited," Zea said, adding she's only seen an old photo of her half sister, but it looks as if she has Zea's eyes and forehead. She added that it's one of those reunion stories that could make it on "Oprah."

TNX!!!
We should pull out all of our area celebrities...George Strait can sing, as well as Charlie Robinson and all the Dixie Chicks...Tommy Lee Jones can do his Tim Duncan stare impersonation...and Eva Longoria can join the Silver Dancers. On second thought...just Eva and the Dancers would be fine.
