STEVE KERR: NEXT GOVERNOR OF CALIFORNIA?

We rarely gossip about professional athletes or coaches, but this item also has political importance and is TOO good not to share. Steve Kerr, the coach of basketball’s Golden State Warriors as well as the Olympic’s Team USA, was a surprise -and excellent- speaker at the Democratic National Convention in Chicago on August 19. According to my inside source there was a reason – he’s being wooed to run for Governor of California when current governor, Gavin Newsom is termed out. Remember where you read this, as an exploratory committee is already in place, grooming Steve to run for governor, which is EXACTLY why he was tapped to speak at the convention.

JENNIFER LOPEZ WORKS OUT IN HER FUNNY GIRL SWEATSHIRT

Coach must be really happy with their brand ambassador Jennifer Lopez, because she not only wears their clothes in ads, but also in real life to the gym. J.Lo wore her $225 Babs sweatshirt – it’s an iconic airbrush portrait of Streisand in Funny Girl that artist Richard Bernstein created for the cover of Interview Magazine in 1969. When Streisand saw a photo of Jennifer wearing the shirt, she sent her thumbs up approval via Instagram. Jennifer is also carrying a bejeweled Superbowl water bottle today.

MICHAEL B JORDAN MAKES US WANT TO SHOP FOR LEATHER

Michael B Jordan, 31, is one of the most ambitious and hard working actors in Hollywood. He’s added a glamour job to his extensive work portfolio – Jordan is the star of the 2019 ad campaign for Coach’s men’s leather goods. The Black Panther star is the first male face hired by Coach. He couldn’t resist posting one of the photos on Instagram.

SEX ISN’T TIGER WOODS’ ONLY PROBLEM

Tiger Woods should have been nicer to his former golf swing coach Hank Haney because the observant coach who was with him for six years, has written a tell-all book called “The Big Miss.” The NY Post revealed in an excerpt that coach Haney says that Tiger refers to his hired help as “friends” but doesn’t treat them that way. The coach says that when Tiger finished his dinner in a restaurant – and he was a fast eater – he’d get up and leave without a word and expect everyone to follow, even if they were still eating. And that included his wife Elin! And Tiger thought it was funny to be cheap – when they got takeout, Haney would have to pick up the food and pay for it too. Tiger also had a mean sense of humor – at one tournament Tiger had to share a room with another golfer who happened to be a devout Christian. Tiger immediately purchased the adult-movie 24 hour package and turned the TV on. He thought it was hilarious watching the guy ignore the porn and try to act natural. Not really that surprising, we never thought good manners and good sense were Tiger’s thing.

SNOOKI AND COACH ARE GOING INTO BUSINESS TOGETHER

Jersey Shore’s Snooki was thrilled with the Coach bag she bought at an outlet store, and she carried it everywhere. The Coach people noticed and, surprisingly, they made her an offer. They invited her to design her own signature Coach bag. She’s gotten a lot of endorsement offers, but this was too good to pass up. She’s designing a limited edition bag that will be sold only in Coach stores, starting this summer. What NEXT?
