...juicy revelations about both himself and other tennis luminaries. Thanks to his father, Agassi's childhood was hellish, the backyard court his personal prison. Later, he battled depression, donned a hairpiece, dabbled in drugs and threw a hissy fit after his then girlfriend (now ex-wife) Brooke Shields licked Joey's hand on that episode of Friends. According to Agassi, Boris Becker blows, Pete Sampras is a terrible tipper, and in the Wimbledon locker room John McEnroe once called Agassi's future wife Graf a bitch...
...singing Elvis on our dock." In another wink to the looming charges, Blagojevich appeared onstage in June at "Rod Blagojevich Superstar," a Second City comedy production that lampooned his antics. "His one specific critique of the show was that the prop hairbrush I used was too small," says Joey Bland, the 31-year-old actor who played Blagojevich, alluding to the former governor's immaculate coif.

He arrives at Eden with the sole goal of looking for a fresh piece of womanhood, then discovers that it's obtainable only at Eden East, the nearby (and off-limits...
...various sequences, we have the privilege of seeing Joey leer at girls nearly as young as his daughter, set himself up for some solo sex on the couch (across America, women will turn away from their moisturizer, shuddering at the memory) and all but demand some extended bodywork from a hapless masseuse. It's gruesome. Undeniably, Favreau brings conviction to the part, but he wrote himself into a hole. Our idea of a happy ending might entail Joey being devoured by sharks somewhere east of Eden. Instead we get marital resolutions based on the fear that nothing is worse than...
