...Aphroditi,” which he produced, directed, and starred in, features the crooner in a number of suggestive scenes singing Greek and English lyrics that he penned himself. In the video, the often bare-chested and gyrating Shields performs for adoring crowds and serves as a human stripper pole for a horny handful of tank-topped girls. The steamy video received as many as 1,500 hits a day when it was “released” over the internet last spring, according to Shields. Not bad for an kid from Belmont. His ‘net celebrity...

But after Miller completed his first slalom run, race officials said he had hooked a gate about halfway down the course-one foot was inside the pole, in other words-and he was DQed. Although in typical Miller fashion, he wasn't POed. "I didn't protest. It's all totally out of my hands, you just deal with it...
