Pete Sampras
Tennis Player

Petros "Pete" Sampras (born August 12, 1971) is a retired American tennis player and former world No. 1 regarded as being one of the greatest players in tennis history. He debuted on the professional tour in 1988 and finished his career at the 2002 US Open, which he won, defeating rival Andre Agassi in the final. He was particularly esteemed for his precise serve, earning the nickname "Pistol Pete".

Sampras became the first professional to break Roy Emerson's pre-Open Era record of 12 Grand Slam singles titles and retired with 14 titles (seven Wimbledon, five US Open, two Australian Open), though this is no longer the record. He also won seven elite indoor titles (five ATP World Tour Finals and two Grand Slam Cups) and still holds the ATP record of six year-end No. 1 rankings, which were in consecutive years from 1993 through 1998.

 “Gimme More” 
Britney Spears

Filmed during one of her troubled periods, the concept was obviously “Britney on a stripper pole, and the rest will write itself!” So they took 20 bucks out of petty cash, gave her some ill-fitting costumes, some random choreography and truly hideous wigs, and let the cameras roll for four minutes. The best that can be said is that it’s better than her disastrous “performance” of the song on the VMA’s.

The Culture Club front man introduced Minogue, declaring “Gay people absolutely LOVE her,” (as if we didn’t already know that).

The “Love at First Sight” singer recounted how she’s always been an ally—”for me, with the LGBT community, there was never a question… of questions”— and then sang an a cappella version of “Can’t Get You Out of My Head,” on a table to encourage donations.

Do we even need to tell you the whole room sang along?

Down By The River: Gabriel by NICKET

From: Favorite Hunks & Other Things


'The first half of the shoot ended up being part performance art as we shot right off a trail and had a few passersby observe.'

The last time we joined NICKET on a shoot with Gabriel, the California based photographer was also shooting one incredible body next to another body, a body of water. In that piece,Strange Movements, Nicholas shot Gabriel with the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk, and the Pacific Ocean as his background.


The body of water cascading beside Gabriel for this shoot is not as huge as the Pacific, but it no less worthy as a setting for Nicholas' images. This shoot was also originally planned as a beach shoot, but unfortunately with the shoot taking place on a holiday, combined with incredible California weather, the crowds on the beach that day made shooting on the beach impossible.

 Sometimes however complications work out, and in this case it led Nicholas to discover an all new location.  The shoot along the river, especially with Gabriel's spontaneity created an incredible day of shooting.  Although, unlike the beach, there were not hundreds of people lining the shores of the river.  There were enough people around however, enjoying an afternoon stroll,  to cause Gabriel to quickly cover up or jump behind a bush a few times. 


 'Another surprise of the day was the start of a beard and mustache Gabriel was sporting for a role in Carmen.  His background in dancing helps to create graceful, creative poses even in new and unplanned locations'.


 With Gabriel's beautiful body, long lines and graceful poses it would be easy to ignore some of his other impressive assets.  The more time I spent piecing together the piece, the more I was drawn in by his beautiful brown eyes and engaging smile.  Whether in jeans, his baby blue Andrew Christian undies or in nothing at all, I don't think anyone walking along the river could help themselves from taking a second, third and forth glance as Gabriel passed by.
