Federer Wins the U.S. Open; Plus, Star Jones’ Mystery Man Revealed

Not all kisses are created equal. 

Here’s what we liked best about the 2008 U.S. Open:

And here’s what almost ruined the whole tournament for us:

The first picture shows our fave athlete of all time, Roger Federer, planting a wet one on us, in our most joyous dreams the U.S. Open trophy. The Fed Express collected his record 5th straight U.S. Open title and 13th major overall—quelling all the naysayers who pegged him as “done” after the loss to Rafael Nadal at Wimbledon.

The second picture shows our least favorite person ever to co-host “The View,” Star Jones. The some-would-say unlucky fella she’s puckering up with is Herb Wilson. (Are we the only ones who find the irony and/or humor in the fact that the gastric bypass lady is dating a chef?)

Consider this our official plea to the media: No more pictures of Star Jones playing kissyface, preferably forever but at least not when Roger Federer is still in the tournament.

It’s a testament to our willpower and Fed-affection that we were able to watch the rest of the U.S. Open despite the ever-looming threat of more Star-Herb candids. What did tennis fans do to deserve that?
