Lauren Jackson secret love yao ming sweet five seconds global broadcast!
Yao Ming gave Australian basketball player and WNBA star Lauren Jackson a deep hug during 2008 Olympics closing ceremony sunday night in Beijing. Some rumors even had her saying those three exact words "I love you".
Latasha Norman was an old black student from Jackson State University in Mississippi who has just crossed 20 years of her age. She was the young lady who went missing for a week before she was found murdered. According to Bridget Johnson at Pajama Media, there are dozens of victims including names like Chandra Levy, Elizabeth Smart, Laci Peterson or Natalee Holloway whose cases have been ignored as they were denied proper media coverage. Lauren Conrad and Brody Jenner have reportedly broken up. The two were seeing each other as said by Brody Jenner some time back. Jenner declared in a new furniture collections launch party in Los Angeles that he and Lauren Conrad, the star of The Hills, were not together anymore. Hazel Gordy is the daughter of the legendary record producer in America, Berry Gordy, who is also the founder and owner of the music company Motown records and its many other subsidiaries. She is also famously known as the wife of Jermaine Jackson, the American Grammy nominated singer cum bass guitarist. Janet Jackson Feedback is the latest hip-hop number from this renowned singer in the year 2008. It was slated for release in the month of February that year. But it got leaked before it hit the stores.
2008年8月24日晚上八点，第29届夏季奥林匹克运动会闭幕式在北京国家体育场---“鸟巢”举行。在盛大的开场舞后，各国旗手首先举各国国旗入场，然后是各国运动员奔入场内，他们并没有像开幕式一样顺序入场，而是不分国籍的一起奔入场内，认识的不认识的都一起合影留念，他们随着音乐跳跃、起舞，对着摄像机飞吻、做鬼脸，闭幕式就像一个盛大的派对！在2004年雅典奥运会闭幕式上，刚刚曝光了自己恋情的姚明大胆地牵着女朋友叶莉的手步进场内，当时这个大胆的举动也预示这姚明向全世界公开俩人的关系。而在今天的闭幕式上，姚明却在众目睽睽之下被自己的追求者劳伦-杰克逊拥吻了。历史总是那么巧合，姚明也因此再度成为奥运会闭幕式上的焦点。
甜蜜五秒竟被全球直播
中国代表团最吸引眼球的要数姚明，他在刘炜等中国队友的陪伴之下出场。凭借着两米二六的身高，巨人姚明立即成为场上焦点。姚明一边走向场馆中心，一边通过摄像镜头向全世界观众招手示意。正当此时，忽然有一名异国女子走到姚明身边。这名外国女选手见到姚明兴奋异常，她上前与姚明窃窃私语。并趁着姚明未来及防备之际，成功拥吻了比自己高出一个头的中国大个子。这名热情开放的美女是何方神圣？据查实她是澳大利亚女子篮球队的球星劳伦·杰克逊。对于突如其来的“桃花运”，姚明确实显得措手不及。5秒钟的拥抱让这位金发美女意犹未尽，她还想跟姚明搭讪，但含羞的姚明见被电视镜头抓拍，连忙闪到了一边，美女只能悻悻离去，离别之际劳伦·杰克逊抚摸了一下姚明。全世界守在电视机前观看奥运闭幕式的人们都看到了这甜蜜的一幕。
杰克逊暗恋 大姚多年
劳伦·杰克逊是澳大利亚女子篮球队的队员，现在效力于WNBA的西雅图风暴队，司职前锋，曾经荣膺WNBA的最有价值球员（MVP）。作为著名的“姚蜜”，劳伦·杰克逊曾经明确表示自己喜欢姚明。在姚明与叶莉恋情已经浮出水面的情况下，杰克逊还曾当众向姚明“示爱”，主动邀请姚明约会，但遭到姚明的拒绝。27岁的杰克逊在本届奥运会场均上场27分钟，得到18分7.4个篮板0.8次助攻，堪称当今女子篮坛的超级巨星。
劳伦·杰克逊这么一抱还真惹出不少话题。真不知道姚太太叶莉会不会吃醋了，估计要等姚明回家之后才知道了。

BEIJING - AUGUST 24: Fireworks ignite over the National Stadium during the Closing Ceremony for the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games on August 24, 2008 in Beijing, China. (Photo by Paul Gilham/Getty Images)
BEIJING -- Several minutes of massive fireworks. A frenzy of dancing and flag-waving around and on the memory tower.
And it's over.
The ceremony is over. The 2008 Beijing Olympics are over.
"Good night, everyone," the announcer says over the big speakers.
Hard to believe. I was there in Moscow in 2001 when China was awarded these Games.
It has been an incredible ride.
I will, of course, be glad to be back home in California. But, truly, I will be sad to leave Beijing and China. At the risk of repetition: it has been a privilege to be a part of chronicling these "truly exceptional" Olympics. We are not likely to see another quite like them.
Curtain call: all the performers pour onto the field for the final number.
Oh, wait: just as at the opening ceremony, there's Jackie Chan singing. Again. I never thought I would write, "Jackie Chan is singing," once in my life, much less twice.
More singing.
Wei Wei, China's biggest pop star and Sun Nan, a Chinese singer and songwriter. They belt out "To Overcome."
Placido Domingo comes next, along with Chinese actress and singer Song Zuying.
They're performing a song called "The Flame of Love."
Domingo is of course one of the so-called "Three Tenors," along with Luciano Pavarotti and Jose Carerreras. Remember Pavarotti singing at the ceremonies in Torino in 2006?
No knock on "The Flame of Love." Me, I'll take "Whole Lotta Love."
We shoulda known. Zeppelin's "Whole Lotta Love" was blasting out over the speakers here at the Bird's Nest Friday night, at the conclusion of the evening's track and field.
And here we -- Joe Battaglia and I, the two of us with the pleasure and privilege of covering track with both here and at the U.S. Olympic Trials in Eugene, Ore. -- thought someone in China was just a Zep fan.
Now time for what's called the "carnival" part of the show, and it kicks off with a song that those of us here have heard repeatedly, day after day, "Beijing, Beijing, I love Beijing."
It's one of those bouncy songs that you can't get out of your mind. Until you stop hearing it, and then you can't remember even one note. Which I suppose is songwriting genius of a sort.
The memory tower walkers are now rappelling down from the top of the tower. Some are zipping down to the far reaches of the field via guy wires. Again, incredible.
The tower, whihc looks like a non-leaning tower of Pisa, is now revealed to be filled with hundreds of people on its sides, some dressed mostly in red clingly uniforms and baseball hats, some in shiny metallic uniforms.
They perform outrageously an exquisite synchronized ballet on, around, atop and over the tower. An idea outrageous in its imagination, stupendous in its execution.
Their display is followed by the appearance of 16 huge "lucky cloud yarn strips" that extend from the memory tower over the field.
As the Olympic cauldron is extinguished, flashlights go on throughout the audience, purporting to signify that the flame lives on.
Outside the Bird's Nest, it's time for a barrage of fireworks.
A boarding ramp like those that ferry passengers from an airport terminal onto an airliner appears. Flight display info appears on the big screens.
An athlete about to leave walks up the ladder. He slowly takes out a scroll and unfolds it and -- a huge mechanical device, dubbed a "memory tower," arises in the center of the field as the screens circling the rim display images taken from the competition and scenes here at the 2008 Games.
Oh, wait. What's a party without David Beckham?
Becks is atop the bus, too. He kicks the soccer ball. A Chinese guy recovers it. Excellent souvenir, I guess -- if you're among those who can't get enough Beckham, no matter what.
Illuminated umbrellas are now flashing on the side of the bus as it heads for the tunnel under the stadium.
Here comes an iconic red London double-decker bus onto the field.
Here are medal-winning British cyclists, including Chris Hoy and Victoria Pendleton.
A crowd of folks, meant to evoke a busy London street, gathers in front of the door to the bus.
The crowd parts. Out comes 9-year-old Tayyiba Dudhwala, chosen from contestants on a popular British TV program; she meets Erika Tham. Erika is of Chinese, Canadian, Malaysian and Ukrainian heritage. Tayyiba hands a soccer ball to Erika.
Meanwhile, the top of the bus opens and out pops British pop star Leona Lewis (her dress created by students at the London College of Fashion).
And who's this, Led Zeppelin freaks? Jimmy Page, and he's riffing. Whole lotta love, indeed, while Leona is singing, "Way down inside ... gonna give you my love."
Maybe Zeppelin will re-reunite in time for those 2012 Games?
To reiterate that prediction: London's got the makings of a big party.
The Olympic hymn is sung -- by 226 children.
Beijing Mayor Guo Jinlong and London Mayor Boris Johnson take center stage for the hand-over of the Olympic flag, 2008 to 2012.
How in the world is London supposed to top Beijing?
Rogge was asked that at a news conference earlier Sunday. His answer:
"It is clear China has put the bar very high. It's going to be a challenge for London but also for all subsequent Games. I believe and I hope London can even put the bar higher," adding a moment later, "I believe London has unique assets."
A prediction: London is more likely to have the feel of a big party, the way it was in Sydney in 2000.
Rogge, speaking from the stage at the center of the stadium, says of the 2008 Olympics, "These were truly exceptional Games!"
Unlike his predecessor, Juan Antonio Samaranch of Spain, Rogge does not bestow titles upon each edition of the Games such as "best-ever."
Rogge described the 2004 Athens Olympics as "unforgettable, dream Games."
He called the 2006 Torino Winter Games "truly magnificent Games," the 2002 Salt Lake City Winter Games "superb Games."
Rogge was elected IOC president in 2001. He has one more year to run on his eight-year term; he is widely expected to run for a second term which by IOC rule is limited to four years. That election will take place in 2009.
Walking in now, the four new members of the IOIC athletes' commission who, by extension, are also now IOC members.
None is an American. The U.S. delegation within the IOC is due now to shrink to two, since Bob Ctvrtlik's eight-year term as athlete delegate comes to a close with the end of the 2008 Games; he had been elected in Sydney in 2000.
The two remaining Americans in the IOC: Anita DeFrantz of Los Angeles; Jim Easton of Van Nuys, Calif.
Ctvrtlik remains an important figure in IOC politics and is a key figure in Chicago's bid for the 2016 Summer Games. The IOC will pick the 2016 city in 2009. The other three cities in the 2016 mix: Rio de Janeiro, Tokyo, Madrid.
The four new athlete reps: Moon Dae-Sung, a South Korean taekwondo player; Alexander Popov, the Russian swimming legend; German fencer Claudia Bokel; and Yumilka Ruiz, a Cuban volleyball star and two-time gold medalist.
The U.S. candidate in the athlete elections here at the Beijing Games, soccer star Julie Foudy, was not among the top four vote-getters. Current or recently retired athletes are eligible; candidates must have been nominated by their national Olympic committee.
Frankie Fredericks of Namibia, the four-time Olympic silver medalist in the sprints, is the new chair of the athletes' commission.
Rehearsals for this closing ceremony have gone on for nearly a year; volunteers attended their first group rehearsal in September, 2007.
Practices were held miles away from the Bird's Nest.
The medals ceremony for the men's marathon, run earlier Sunday, won by Kenya's Samy Wanjiru, that nation's first marathon gold.

The medals ceremony for the men's marathon, run earlier Sunday, won by Kenya's Samy Wanjiru, that nation's first marathon gold.
His time, 2:06.32, eclipsed the Olympic record by three minutes.
Kenya won five gold medals here in Beijing -- their best-ever Olympic performance.
Jaouad Gharib of Morocco won silver, Tsegay Kebede of Ethiopia bronze.
Reflecting the import of the marathon in Olympic history and protocol, the medals are being presented by International Olympic Committee President Jacques Rogge and Lamine Diack, president of track and field's governing body, the International Assn. of Athletics Federations.
The athletes of the world are flooding the floor, entering the stadium from its four corners. No marching tonight behind one's own flag. There's a lot of picture-taking down there, a lot of video camera-ing, too.
This particular tradition began at the 1956 Summer Games in Melbourne, Australia. Olympic lore holds that a 17-year-old Chinese-Australian boy named John Ian Wing suggested to organizers that having all the athletes together at the closing cereremony, without regard to nationality, would "make these Games even greater."
The flagbearers of the 204 national Olympic committees that took part here are entering, half from one side of the stadium (led by Greece), half from the other (led by Saudi Arabia). The Chinese are, of course, last to enter.
The American bearer: Khatuna Lorig, an archer who finished fifth here, who won team bronze in 1992 competing for the Unified Team in the aftermath of the break-up of the Soviet Union.
Now come 60 "light wheels." Each has a diameter of 2.008 meters. Each gives off fluorescent light. They're rolling around the stadium floor between the silver belles.
The belles bells are now illuminated, too, and they're now lined up in radiating wave lines.
The first act of the ceremony is, as might be expected, spectacular.
In the center of the stadium, in a circle, 200 red- and yellow-clad drummers are banging away. Surrounding them in a concentric circle, precisely 1,148 women in yellow dresses wearing row upon row of silver bells.

Eight drum carts carry more performers onto the stage. Eight rotating poles are swing across the field. Sixty light wheels and 200 "flying men" join in.
More fireworks go off atop the stadium rim, tracing a circle -- there you go again -- around the Bird's Nest.
Traditionally, the closing ceremony is not designed to strike the same awe as the opening ceremony -- as if anything could top the Aug. 8 opening here, anyway.
This will be, by design, more of a party atmosphere here tonight. The themes of the ceremony: harmony, friendship and joy.
It's now 8 p.m. sharp and the first fireworks are going off in a circle all around Olympic Green, reds, greens, hyellow, pinnks, purples. The circle is a symbol of harmony and renewal in Chinese culture.
Only 6,800 performers will take part in tonight's closing ceremony. The opening ceremony featured 15,000 performers. There is not one -- repeat, not one -- repeat performer between the two ceremonies.
It is with genuine melancholy that I am back in my position here at the Bird's Nest tonight, 16 nights after being here for the first time for the opening ceremony.
I have been in this seat night after night this past week for track and field. Here, 11 rows up from the stadium field, right on the finish line, is where I saw Usain Bolt set three world records, saw LaShawn Merritt run to victory in the 400m. And so much more.
Before that, I watched every single one of Michael Phelps' races, every single competition of artistic gymnastics.
And more.
I said coming here that these would be extraordinary Olympics. These Games have produced 40 world records, 120 Olympic records.
It has been a privilege to be here to bear witness to history.

BEIJING - The Beijing Olympics ended with a blaze of deafening fireworks on Sunday, bringing down the curtain on a Games that dazzled the world with sporting brilliance and showcased the might of modern day China.
北京奥运会周日在阵阵耀眼的礼花中落幕，东道主向世界奉出了一届史无前例的奥运赛事，展示了一个崛起的现代中国。
版主点评：中国已经向全世界，向中国人民证明，我们有能力承办一届史无前例的奥运会，在短短的17天内，我们做到了，北京奥运会将以历史上最伟大奥运会之一的印象，长久留在人们的记忆中。
Country caps 16 days of competition; Olympics transition to 2012 in London
BEIJING - With help from British star power, China concluded its debut as Olympic host Sunday after 16 days of near-flawless logistics and superlative athletic achievement — coexisting awkwardly with the government’s wariness of dissent and free speech.
A spectacular closing ceremony opened with torrents of fireworks and included a pulsating show-within-a-show by London, host of the 2012 Games. From a stage formed from a red double-decker bus, Led Zeppelin guitarist Jimmy Page played classic rock hit “Whole Lotta Love” and soccer icon David Beckham booted a ball into the surrounding throng of athletes on the stadium floor.
Then more lyrical music returned, and the Olympic flame atop the stadium was extinguished। A carnival-themed segment completed the show, featuring a duet by Spanish tenor Placido Domingo and Chinese soprano Song Zuying. There was another, noisier barrage of fireworks and confetti filled the air.

Move over Michael Phelps, the Beijing Olympics has an-other superstar.
菲尔普斯热刚过去，北京奥运会又诞生了一位超级巨星。
Usain Bolt blazed into the Olympic history books last night, becoming the first man to break world records while winning both 100m and 200m races at a single Games.
乌塞恩•博尔特昨晚载入奥林匹克史册，成为第一位在一届奥运会上获得100米、200米短跑双料冠军并打破世界纪录的运动员。
The Jamaican broke the world record by winning the 200m in 19.30sec, becoming also the first man since American Carl Lewis in 1984 to sweep the 100m and 200m gold medals at an Olympics.
这位牙买加选手以19秒30的成绩打破了200米短跑世界纪录，并成为1984年以来继美国运动员卡尔•刘易斯之后，第一个在奥运会上独揽男子100米和200米两枚金牌的选手。
Bolt, who turns 22 today, took the top spot on the heels of his win in the men's 100m on Saturday.
今天刚满22岁的博尔特上周六刚刚夺得100米短跑金牌，紧接着，200米的金牌也到手了。
He bettered his own world record in that race by winning in 9.69sec, despite slowing down over the final 20m to showboat.
虽然他为了表现自己的实力在最后20米的时候开始减速，但最终还是以9秒69的成绩摘走了金牌，并刷新了自己创造的世界纪录。
The performance marked the sprinter as one of the breakthrough stars of these Summer Games, who is ensured that when highlight films of the Beijing Games are rolled in years to come, Bolt and Phelps, the US swimmer who won a record eight gold medals in the pool, will share the top billing.
博尔特的精彩表现使他成为夏季奥运会上众多的新星之一，同时也让人们相信，几年后记录北京奥运会精彩片段的影片问世时，他将和夺得8枚金牌的美国游泳健将菲尔普斯一样耀眼。
Bolt, whose father says owes his speed and power to the local yam vegetable, yesterday showed what he can do when he runs at full speed all the way, lunging at the finish line to eclipse the old record of 19.32sec set by American Michael Johnson at the 1996 Atlanta Games. "He is Superman 2," Johnson said after he saw his record fall.
昨天，博尔特充分展现了自己的实力，他以全速的奔跑和强力的冲刺刷新了由迈克尔•约翰逊在1996年亚特兰大奥运会上创造的19秒32的世界纪录。约韩逊在看见自己的记录被打破后说：“他简直就是超人二号。” 博尔特的父亲透露说他的速度和力量都来源于他们家乡的番薯。
All too far behind the Jamaican, Churandy Martina of the Netherlands Antilles took silver in 19.82sec. Defending champion Shawn Crawford of the US got bronze at 19.96sec.
其他的选手被博尔特远远地甩在了后面，荷属安的列斯选手许兰迪•马丁纳以19秒82的成绩获得银牌，卫冕冠军美国选手肖恩•克劳福德则以19秒96获得铜牌。
Once he saw his record finish, Bolt fell to the track, his giant legs and arms pointing out.
看见自己创造的新记录，博尔特张开硕大的四肢，直挺挺的躺倒在跑道上。
"I am No 1 I am No 1!" the world's fastest man declared to TV audiences as he beat his chest and blew kisses at the 91,000 crowd in the Bird's Nest, before continuing with his victory lap.
接着，这位世界飞人一边捶打着胸膛，向鸟巢91000名观众抛出一记飞吻，一边向电视观众宣告：“我是世界第一，我是世界第一！”随后，他绕场一圈，庆祝自己的胜利。
