Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders Announce Location of 2010 Calendar Shoot



The Dallas Cowboys cheerleaders are probably more popular than the team itself. After all, at least they're still around in January. Plus, there's less drama. (Zingers all over the place, eh?) 

And, of course, they're better looking. So if you ever get a chance to join these fine, upstanding ladies for their annual calendar photoshoot, you should probably do that. 

Wait ... what? There's a resort offering a "Dallas Cowboys Cheerleader Package"? Get out. No, seriously, there is. According to PR reps for the Atlantis resort in Paradise Island, Bahamas, the Cowboys' cheerleading crew will be on the island between February 22 and March 1, "posing for next year's calendar and participating in special guest activities, including cheer clinics, beach yoga and even helping guests build their own Dallas Cowboys Cheerleading Pal."

Now, I have no idea what the hell that last one is, but "beach yoga" sounds decently enticing. As does the price on this puppy! Five days, four nights starting at $579 with bonus stuff that includes: one free night (presumably already built in), two free "dolphin interactions" at Dolphin Cay ("Key") and  admission to Aura, a nightclub for sexy people.

Oh yes, and the cheerleaders themselves: you get to hang out the whole time they're there in addition to a meet and greet with the squad and admission to the VIP photo shoot wrap party at Aura (February 28 for you pre-planners) which I'm sure won't involve body shots at all. 

So, gentlemen, what I recommend is reworking ye olde Valentine's Day present and practicing your best "OH MY! WHAT A COINCIDENCE, HONEY!" face.

Atlantis Airlines Flight Missing Near Bermuda Triangle

An Atlantis Airlines flight en route from the Dominican Republic to New York City disappeared near the Bermuda Triangle today. The U.S. Coast Guard is searching the area west of Turks and Caicos for signs of the plane. According to the Dominican Civil Aviation Institute, the plane sent a distress signal shortly after takeoff.
An Atlantis Airlines plane headed for New York disappeared after taking off from the Dominican Republic, according to the Associated Press. Eleven people were onboard.

The plane, expected to stop for refueling in the Bahamas, sent an emergency signal before disappearing from the radar 35 minutes after takeoff on Monday afternoon, said Jose Tomas Perez, director of the Dominican Civil Aviation Institute.

The U.S. Coast Guard and other agencies are searching for the plane, a Britton-Norman Islander, reported the AP.
At this time no other news has been reported. Our thoughts and prayers go out to the passengers and crew aboard the Atlantis Airlines flight, as well as their families and friends.

Kylie Minogue Headlines $23 Million Party to Celebrate Opening of Atlantis in Dubai

Have you seen the Atlantis hotels around the world? If not, you should at least consider checking them out on PTG -- the Cove in the Bahamas is an absolutely ridiculous site to behold -- if only to be amazed at how intricate and dominate they are in their various landscapes.

Well, a new Atlantis opened in Dubai last night, and it opened in style. Like, big style. As in, "Kylie Minogue hosting a $23 million party" big.

The world’s rich and famous gathered for the most expensive private party ever thrown - costing some £20 million - to open Atlantis Palm Jumeirah, a £1 billion resort on a man-made island shaped like a palm tree in the Persian Gulf.

Two thousand film stars, popstars, supermodels and billionaires were flown in from around the world for the all-expenses paid one-night party with many of them staying for four days.

Of course, Ms. Minogue wasn't just there because the Atlantis is one of the sickest hotels on the planet ... she was getting paid a little bit of cash too.

The highlight last night was a one-off gig by Kylie Minogue and her 113-strong dance troupe on the beach.

Apart from getting a free holiday, Miss Minogue was also paid £1.5million for a 10-song 45-minute medley of her hits – which works out at some £33,333 a minute.

The gig was followed at midnight local time by a 1million-rocket firework display with 100 computer-guided rockets costing £7million which was seven times bigger than the largest display to date - for the Beijing Olympics.

Yeah. That sounds like a decent party. Plus, when you consider that the list of celebs includes: Robert De Niro, Charlize Theron, Denzel Washington, Mischa Barton and Lindsay Lohan, supermodels Agyness Deyn, Petra Nemcova and Yasmin Le Bon, musicans Janet Jackson, Lily Allen and Shirley Bassey, sports legends like Michael Jordan and Boris Becker and some local royalty - the Royal Family of Dubai (...whew) then you have to consider that, yes, this is a pretty high end event.

Also, Oprah was supposed to show up, but canceled her last second reservation of a suite that costs about $33k per night. Pretty decent digs. And apparently, the Atlantis in Dubai is going to be mildly popular among the rich and famous.
