Mottram betters Gebrselassie record
CRAIG MOTTRAM had the thrill of replacing Ethiopian great Haile Gebrselassie in the record books yesterday when he ran the fastest indoor 3000m ever seen in the United States. Mottram powered to victory at the Boston Indoor Games in 7min 34.50sec, erasing the American all-comers record of 7:35.24, set in 2004 by Gebrselassie, who is considered one of the greatest distance runners of all time. The tiny Ethiopian was a dual Olympic gold medallist in the 10,000m, a one-time world record-holder in the 5000m and 10,000m, and last year ran the fastest marathon ever. For Mottram, on the comeback after a disappointing 2007, the victory was also a personal best and new Australian record, bettering by nearly five seconds his previous mark of 7:39.25, which he ran at the same venue a year ago.

Stevie Wonder and John Mayer Sing for Toys
Get rid of this other nonsense on here TMZ...as if Mayer and Wonder need any more accolades. They should be giving more of their own gobs of wealth instead of begging on the public all the time.
