What was he thinking?

He's 36. She's 21.

Making out in public "all evening."

Ewwwwwww

This is SOOOOO High School.

My opinion of Lance just dropped about a million points. Ewwwwwww.

What was he thinking?

He's 36. She's 21.

I don't think he is thinking with his BRAIN.

[Possegal]

this cracks me up, as i got an email from my niece today with the subject Ewwwwwwwwww, then a link and her text said, tell me this isn't true. and i replied that i didn't even have to click the link, that i knew what it was about.

he walked by me on saturday, literally elbow to elbow. had i known then what i know now, i'd have said "dude, really? what, was britney busy?"
(no i wouldn't, cause i had in mind lots of things i'd say if i was ever close enough, and instead i just stood there, mouth agape, looking like a school girl).

but i have to admit, i still love him. (my niece and i call it the hugh grant factor, we know we shouldn't love him, but we do anyway). working in oncology, i have great respect for what he has done for the cancer community as a whole, and personally, the inspiration he gives my sister to fight a cancer that has very bad odds. she just keeps saying - well i'll just have to be lance.

he could have taken the celebrity and done nothing more, but he has used it for some really good things. not that it also may not have gone a bit to his head.

I would have to say that I don't think that Lance and Ashley is a good thing. But I don't say this based on the age difference (more based on the past behaviours of both of these people and their most recent less than discreet actions) . I would never judge a relationship between 2 people based on age. You see I'm married to a man who is 26 years my senior. I was 20 when we met. We've been together for 16 years, married for 7 and we have a very healthy married relationship, better than any other couple I know.

I still admire Lance. He's done some stupid things, but so have a lot of us. It's just that his get plastered all over the front of magazines. He's human although his athletic feats might lead you to believe otherwise. What he's done for cancer research is amazing.

[Jo-n-NY]

Me too. I just really like the guy, I always have. I have to work on Sunday or I would have come into the city to watch him run the Marathon.

I think I will watch one of the entertainment shows tonight and see if they have info on this.

I did not mean to offend and maybe I was not so clear - my dismay is based more on the immature behavior (making out in public???? come on....) and the Brittany Spear/Paris Hilton/Ashley Olsen aspect of this whole thing.

Let's face it, if you are a public figure, you are going to be noticed when you engage in silly or embarrassing behaviour.

Wahine- +1

You didn't offend me at all. I just feel the need to be a spokesperson for the May-Dec relationship thing.

I agree completely with the embarassing behaviour in public aspect. I think it's ridiculous.

He's 36. She's 21.

So? Your point?

[Xrayted]

Wahine and Kit... +1. Grabs Kit (who is 15 years my junior) and plants one on her, right in front of the nice people. JK. I knew what you meant withm. Maybe it was just more of a shock because it's Lance? I think it's probably a big mistake given their reported track records, but since I don't know either of them personally, I'll just wish them luck. Anyway, who else out there is ready to deal with their swelled heads? Might be a match made in heaven.

I think Kit got it spot on over at TD - its hard for us to think about the Olsens and not picture those little monkey faced babies from the sitcom.....

And Ashley likes older men. According to the article's last paragraph:

This isn't the first time Ashley has been attracted to an older man. When she was 19, she ended her long-term relationship with 30-year-old club owner Scott Sartiano reportedly because the romance was getting too serious. She was also previously romantically linked to 35-year-old actor Jared Leto.

Hey it was a club scene too. Weird things happen at clubs!

I still like Lance for the good things he has done for cycling and for cancer research.

[sgtiger]

Whatever. They're both adults. I really don't see why people look at celebs to be moral role models. Sure Lance is an amazing athlete who was able to overcome cancer, and for that I admire his abilities and for raising awareness and funds for cancer research. But I don't see what all the hubub is knowing about who he dates or what he does in his daily life. Or how that affects any of us as cyclists or human beings.

I'm not so sure that all of us would survive the constant media scrutiny that celebs are under. Infact I met BiaK at a party where I'd had a little too much. I'm sure our friends would have interesting stories to tell about that night. Some of the rumors I've heard about us the day after were in the very least... interesting. Only some of them were true I thank the powers that be that there is no photographic evidence of some of my behavior. Well, who knows maybe there is and I'm blissfully ignorant of it.

OMG! My virgin eyeballs! Arghhhhh! JK. You two are cute together.


Um.. swelled heads.... hehehe.... match made in heaven... I think you might be on to something there. Not that it's really any of my biswax.

I'm 26 and I'd hit it 'til his wheels fell off
