"What does she even need an agent for?": I couldn't agree more. "But he's a pitcher for the New York Mets, a former No. 1 draft pick, and she's also been getting a lot of attention." Just keep with the skanky talk, Anna.
Bring on the pathetic. Rcade - last week she was a 'tough broad' and a seeming breath of fresh air. What now?

Gee, this girl's gonna wear out her 5 minutes of fame before pitchers and catchers.

Is it just me or is Anna Benson going to need her own distinct category here soon?

"Benson ended up in the VIP area anyway, along with Rocco DiSpirito, Carmen Electra and Snoop Dogg's sidekick, Bishop Don Magic Juan." In her defense, I'd be pissed if I got stuck behind Rocco and the Bishop. Unless they starred in a '70s TV cop drama.

...last week she was a 'tough broad' and a seeming breath of fresh air. What now? She's just a florida ditch pig getting too much attention. But what's so entertaining is she has to be like this to get the hype. Hopefully it will keep escalating. I can't wait to see what happens next...

If Carmen Electra is getting into the VIP section at that club, you know they have the bar set pretty low. So, when Anna was initially turned away, that pretty much says all there is to say about her.

Sex tape Or if we're really lucky, a catfight caught on tape with Carmen Electra in the VIP section, that turns into...you guessed it. A sex tape.

I feel stupid even thinking about this subject, but that's never stopped me before. Rcade - last week she was a 'tough broad' and a seeming breath of fresh air. What now? You're right. A tough broad who talks openly about her stripping days has no business trying to elbow ahead of someone as important as Snoop Dogg's sidekick at a Ludacris concert. Surely the word and judgment of an unnamed source for a gossip column is unimpeachable. Why would a woman who hosts PR events, may get a reality show, and gets on magazine covers think she deserves professional representation? Ditch pig should know her place.

Are you seriously offering an opinion that an event treating Rocco Dispirito and Carmen Electra as VIPs should not grant the same perk to Anna Benson? No offense intended, but I'm getting a little scared for some of the sports fans in this discussion. Maybe you should consider getting a little less E and a little more ESPN.

Just making a value judgment as to where Anna sits in the trash-celebrity pecking order when a has-been b-lister like Carmen Electra gets the VIP treatment, and Anna gets the Heisman. Oh, wait. .. was this supposed to be a sports thread?

Have you seen ESPN Tonight lately? That's exactly why I don't go there. ESPN is becoming more E! everyday. Remember "substance without style is nothing." But back to Sundance...Electra has film credits. This Rocco character has a tv show, i assume from his website. Snoop's dude must've been in that Snoop Air movie, or whatever it was called. Benson has a boob job and famous athlete husband. Now in certain non-entertainment (assumuing for a moment athlete's wife negates her from the entertainment industry that is pro sports) related scales, Benson maybe one up (i'm thinking $$$$) on one or two. But other than being richer, she should be grateful to even get a hotel room. Not a card carrying memeber of SAG....Get in line with the rest of the schleps. I'm not offended. I'm just surprised.

Well, I certainly don't care, but my suspicision that an attention grabbing media whore was given undue leeway by a certain journalist in our midst seemed to have some momentum for a moment there. Perhaps not. But certainly Snoop Dogg's sidekick can go anywhere he/she/it pleases at a Ludicris concert. That plum makes sense to me.

I went to Sundance last year...it took only a few minutes (and $50) to get me passed the line, into the club for Nelly's show and into the VIP area where the ever brilliant Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie were carousing with some of the Back Sync Boys. It wasn't worth the effort or the cash. Why wasn't Anna bright enough to figure out a little cash always gets people moving. Wasn't that her career before she bacame a baseball wife?

Sorry to be the party pooper, but since when did being married to a sportsman make someone FPP-worthy? No offense, but this item isn't sport-related, and therefore shouldn't be on SpoFi. MeFi maybe, but not SpoFi.

Dude, did you just say party pooper? You're right about this not being legit, but it's fun to punish the undeserving once and a while, no matter what the forum. Peace

Jugwine, et al. I'm sure the female members of this community appreciate your diligence. In the meantime, I am wondering why there are no FPP about the German referee who admitted to fixing matches or the 9-year-old Brazilian soccer phenom.
