    SAY HI TO THE PRINCE

    By The Associated Press | Associated Press – Tue, Aug 7, 2012

    British cyclist Laura Trott was royally surprised after winning her first individual gold medal.

    She was winding down her press obligations, smiling ear-to-ear after winning the omnium Tuesday, when she was told that Prince William was here to meet 20-year-old.

    "Who?" she asked, puzzled.

    Then Trott went pale, her smile vanished and her jaw fell agape.

    "He's here to meet me?" she said stunned.

    As she was ushered off to meet the prince, Trott stopped to watch the closing laps of the men's keirin, jumping up and down to cheer teammate Chris Hoy's gold medal ride.

    Trott may have had a second surprise. Prince Harry — the most eligible bachelor in Britain — was at the Velodrome on Tuesday, not his married brother Prince William, according to the palace.

      By Alasdair and Fotheringham CHERASCO, Italy, May 17 - A series of small but challenging climbs late on Friday's stage of the 2012 Giro d'Italia could not stop Britain's Mark Cavendish taking his fourth stage win and second in two days.

      This coming weekend is a big one for Saturday Night Live. It marks the end of Bill Hader's tenure on the show and Ben Affleck's fifth time hosting. But perhaps the most significant reason to tune in is the fact that Kanye West is the musical guest, and he's making it seem like he really, really doesn't want to be. With West's apparent frustration with the show and his penchant for, shall we say ... off-the-cuff remarks, producers should be worried and we should be excited. Is there a better combo than that?
