'Manny Mania' Comes To TinseltownOh Manny! What A TradeLOS ANGELES (CBS) ― Who would have thought that the Los Angeles Lakers' trade for Pau Gasol would not even be the biggest trade for a Los Angeles professional sports team this year?
Who would have thought that the Angels' pick up of Mark Teixeira would not even be the best L.A. sports move of the week?
On Thursday, the Dodgers pulled off the biggest acquisition of the 2008 MLB season, and the biggest trade for the Dodgers since swapping Mike Piazza for Gary Sheffield a decade ago.
The Dodgers looked into their magic hat on Thursday and instead of pulling out a rabbit, they yanked out Manny Ramirez. 'ManRam' was on the trading block this week due to his shenanigans with the Red Sox this season, and up until the final day before the trading deadline it seemed that only a trade to Florida would be possible. But only in Hollywood can a shocking, last-minute plot twist like this happen!

A Day At The Laker Girl TryoutsOne Intrepid Writer Learns What Being A Laker Girl MeansLOS ANGELES (CBS) ― We all know what the best part of being at a Laker game is, right? No, no, it is not watching Kobe Bryant. No, it is not trying to pick out all the celebrities in the crowd. No, it is not the "Kiss Me Cam."
I'll give you a hint: it does not take place during the game, but during the timeouts.
If you still have not guessed right than I guess you have not been to a Laker game. The best part about going to a Laker game at Staples Center has been, and always will be watching the Laker Girls.
The Laker Girls are not just any girls who parade themselves onto the court and put on a simple dance routine for 20,000 people to stare at them. They are not just some pretty girls who doll themselves up in order to look like Barbie dolls. They are not just any kind of girls. They are Laker Girls. One of the most choreographed dancers I have ever seen and by far the best dancers of any other professional sports teams. Come on, there is even a movie that was made about them!
