No idea which MLB team that hat is for, but I think it's the Reds.

Ever since Mike Tyson started his one-man show in Las Vegas, he ‘s become Mr. Name Dropper on Twitter with all of the new celebrity and Vegas “celebrity” friends that he’s made. In fact, his Instragram looks like the Who’s Who of “Who? Oh, that guy… meh”. But that all changed last week when Tyson was visited by some first class royalty, as the King-in-Waiting of Pop Music and dick-drawer extraordinaire Justin Bieber swung by his crib to take in a brief boxing lesson (video after the jump).

For starters, it’s nice to see that the Biebz is now hanging out with the Vegas crowd, because that always ends well, but I imagine this encounter went a little more like this:

Bieber (watching The Hangover with his enablers): “I want to do that! Let’s do that!”
Enabler: “What’s that, you want to go to Vegas?”
Bieber: “No, I want to steal Mike Tyson’s tiger. Let’s do that.”
Enabler: “But it’s an incredibly vicious animal!”
Bieber: *slaps him, throws money in the air*
Enabler: “I’ll pull the Lambo around.”
Bieber: “Selena, I’m going to Vegas. I’ll be back later and we’ll have a lot of sex.”
Selena Gomez: *reading 50 Shades of Grey* “Sure.”

Tonight’s the big night: for an entry fee of only ten bucks, you could end up as one of 15 finalists competing for a $100,000 grand prize playing FanDuel fantasy baseball in Las Vegas. If you missed our announcement earlier in the week, here are the details:

The FanDuel Daily Fantasy Baseball Championship consists of 15 Friday qualifying tournaments that are only $10 to enter. Each weekly tournament has over $3000 in prizes, but if you win one of the 15 qualifying tournaments, you and a friend win an all expenses paid trip to the Palazzo in Las Vegas the weekend of July 28 & 29. There, the 15 finalists will compete for $250,000 in cash prizes in a one-day fantasy baseball game with the winner taking home $100,000. Again, it’s only $10 to enter and you can enter as many teams as you want.

That’s not something you want to miss out on, is it? You could win more money than most people make in a year by saying “I think I’ll pick Mike Trout tonight” and clicking a button. That’s incredible, isn’t it? All you have to do right now is say “I think I’ll play Brandon’s cool fantasy thing” and click a button. This button. And hell, even if you don’t like baseball, find somebody who does and try to win a trip to Vegas.

Last year, the Internet’s legions of dude bros rejoiced as having a Twitter account finally paid off when NHL legend Wayne Gretzky’s daughter, Paulina, was happily posting revealing pictures of herself for all of us to… respect and admire. Well, the Great One – like most fathers of absurdly attractive 23-year old girls – didn’t think too highly of that and he forced Paulina to remove all of the questionable pictures from her Twitter. Sadly, we were forced to find pictures of half naked girls elsewhere. So difficult.

Thankfully, what Wayne may or may not have realized is that the Internet has like 6 billion sites devoted to allowing people to post their pictures, and in case he didn’t hear about it, the popular photo sharing site Instagram was just purchased by Facebook for $1 billion recently. So yeah, that’s a pretty popular site, too.

Hey, maybe Paulina is on Instagram, posting pictures of her recent trip to Las Vegas with her boyfriend and their friends. Maybe she’s posting pictures of herself in a bikini in interesting positions with people of both genders. Let’s just check and see if this completely hypothetical idea is true… IT IS. Well done, Mark Zuckerberg.

When I was in Las Vegas last weekend, all the cab drivers and table dealers wanted to talk about when it came to shows was how excited everyone was for Mike Tyson to begin his highly-anticipated one man show, “Undisputed Truth – Live on Stage.” Of course I completely understood their excitement and I was somewhat depressed that it hadn’t started yet, because I can only imagine the hilarity that will come with Tyson telling old stories for an hour or two on stage.

With the show beginning this month on the seemingly appropriate Friday the 13th at the MGM Grand Hollywood Theatre, Tyson is making the late night rounds for some promotional obligations, and one of the best stops he could make was at Conan, because TBS’s desperation cable network status allows a little wiggle room for language and good taste.

Tyson didn’t disappoint with a story about how he was totally cock-blocked by Brad Pitt while the heavyweight champ was still trying to get with Robin Givens, even after their incredibly rocky and well-publicized divorce.

While most of us spent our Sunday ragging on Darren Rovell and guys who bring crappy beer to Super Bowl parties, people at the Orleans Arena in Las Vegas got to witness the most important sports action of the day – Lingerie Bowl IX. For the women of the Philadelphia Passion, this game marked an opportunity to help their league open more doors and minds throughout the country, but it was also a chance to quell the disappointment that was the 2011 Philadelphia Eagles season. Alas, they proved they were no Dream Team either, as they lost to the Los Angeles Temptation 28-6. Ouch.

But kudos to the Temptation, Passion and to Lingerie Football League as a whole, because nine years is incredibly impressive for an upstart league that banks its success on being able to fight back against claims of shameless pandering while reinforcing the foundation of female empowerment. In fact, I am going to take this opportunity to make a solemn vow that I will no longer turn a blind eye to my own Orlando Fantasy, and With Leather will give this league and these special, talented women a greater platform in 2012.

Now I just have to learn how to talk to girls.

"Oh God, I'm so sorry, please don't hit me."

Breaking news courtesy of TMZ:

UFC superstar Alistair Overeem — the guy who beat Brock Lesnar into retirement — has been charged with misdemeanor battery for allegedly attacking a woman in a Vegas hotel earlier this month.

According to the Clark County District Attorney’s Office … Overeem is accused of “pushing/shoving” a woman in the face at the Wynn Hotel in Vegas at around 3:00 AM on January 2 … just a few nights after he defeated Lesnar at the MGM Grand.

Law enforcement sources tell us the alleged victim is 5’4″ and 128 pounds. Overeem is listed at 6’5″, 260 lbs.

TMZ makes sure to call Overeem a “UFC STUD” for some reason, which is especially weird in a story about how he might’ve shoved a woman in the face.

Anyway, this could easily be a misunderstanding, a person looking for a quick payday or another example of a guy who fights for a living not being able to control his giant angry monster body, so who knows? We’ll keep you up to date when more information is available, and we’ll divide every sixth word in half with ellipses.
