The Donald Does Bohemian Rhapsody!

/

Niamh Anderson of the Daily Mail reveals the overnight UK sensation (1000 YouTube views!!) though I must say, I'll never look at Donald Trump's comb-over quite the same again. And that's saying a lot. (Thanks reader David for this.)

The woman behind the video, freelance writer Hazel Cameron, 52, said she was delighted with how it turned out. She said: ‘It took nearly two years to complete but we are thrilled with it.’

She came up with the idea in 2010, when she and her friends were talking about Trump’s plans. Miss Cameron said she ‘had to do something’ to raise awareness about the links course.

She said: ‘His actions are appalling. I’ve spent almost my whole life working in business and I know how difficult planning and environmental laws can be.

'So why was he able to come in and sweep them all away? We have hundreds of golf courses in Scotland and we don’t need another one – especially if it means that people will lose their homes.’

She emailed May asking for  permission to use the song and was surprised to receive a reply within four hours. May told her: ‘I hope you will be able to stop this nasty project.’

CBS Head: Conservative Ratings Projections On Latest TV Deal

Daily Variety's Stuart Levine talked to CBS's Sean McManus about a variety of deals, including the latest PGA Tour deal through 2021.

"In the most recent PGA tour deal we did, we did not assume that Tiger was going to be as dominant as he has been in the past," McManus said. "We did a very conservative projection on ratings. If Tiger finds his groove and plays a number of PGA tour events, that's all upside for us, but when you look at Rory McIlroy or Luke Donald, and put Phil Mickelson in that group, there is still an awful lot of really appealing golfers on the PGA tour."

"I wouldn't like to pass a golf ball."

Thanks to Mike Johnson for Tweeting Colin Gilmore's story about Callaway, the golf ball swallowing python who confused the balls for eggs but was saved by doctors at Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary in Australia.

Dr Pyne said snakes had an incredible ability to swallow objects as they could dislocate their jaws, but they could not necessarily digest everything they eat.

"I wouldn't like to pass a golf ball," he said.

Steiny Might Want To Think Twice About Calling Hank A Liar

Agent Mark Steinberg has long established himself as one of the least PR-savvy public ten-percenters on the planet, so I was not surprised to see that in the aftermath of his client's impressive Bay Hill win he  would acknowledge Hank Haney's new book and do his best to get the conversation back on The Big Miss. If Steiny is one thing, he's consistent!

Steve Elling has the agent's latest missive regarding claims that Tiger injured himself partaking in the adult fantasy camp version of Navy SEAL training.

“(Hank) Haney admits he never had in-depth, personal discussions with Tiger. This self-serving book is full of guesses and false assumptions,” Steinberg said in an emailed statement.

“Most don't merit a response, but his stories about Tiger's injuries are simply not true. Tiger's injuries, and how they occurred, were exactly as described at the time they happened. Despite repeated claims that this is a golf book, it’s not.”

So just to recap, Haney claims Tiger injured himself pursuing his passion for SEAL training. Not the diversion I would choose for a pro-athlete, but the great ones are all a little bit different. I can safely say from what I've read so far, this is not the worst revelation in the book. Unless of course you're Steiny trying to negotiate a new endorsement deal and companies keep asking for SEAL-related injury clauses.

That said, it's not as if Haney is out suggesting Tiger's body was somehow damaged by Dr. Anthony Galea's, uh, cutting edge therapy methods. Nor is Haney even bringing up the sheer stupidity of associating with Dr. Spaceman. So in that sense Steiny, it could be a lot, lot worse.
