We’re betting the second Lance Armstrong agreed to do that revealing Oprah interview this week, a million Hollywood execs shed a single tear, knowing there could be only one Lance Armstrong cheating scandal movie. According to Deadline, Paramount Pictures and producer Jj Abrams beat them all to the punch, closing the deal on the filmmaking rights to the proposal for Cycle of Lies: The Fall Of Lance Armstrong, a book to be written by sports reporter Juliet Macur. That’s right: they bought the proposal to a book that has not yet been written. Now we want to shed a single tear over how genius that is.
Since it’ll be a little while before shooting starts, we have plenty of time to pitch potential actors to play America’s Most Hated Athlete (You’re welcome, Manti Te’o!). As for who should play his ex Sheryl Crow…um,...

CBS News Chairman Jeff Fager, who is also executive producer of 60 Minutes, dismissed the complaints. "We have been so thorough and fair to Lance Armstrong,...

The Associated Press has voted Tiger Woods as the Athlete of the Decade. He received 56 votes... coincidentally, one for every mistress one for every PGA tour win he had in the 2000s.
Woods bested second-place Lance Armstrong by 23 votes.The rest of the field includes Roger Federer with 25 votes, Michael Phelps with 15, Tom Brady with six and sprinter Usain Bolt with four.

Still, it looks a bit funny for the AP to announce Tiger as their Athlete of the Decade while his wife is possibly moving to Sweden,...
