The five cities looking to host the 2012 Summer Games submitted bids to the International Olympic Committee (news - web sites) on Monday, entering the final stage of a long process in hopes of landing one of the biggest prizes in sports.

British bookmaker Ladbrokes on Monday installed Paris as the 1-2 favorite to host its third Olympics after holding the games in 1900 and 1924. London, the 1908 and 1948 host, was at 3-1, with Madrid at 4-1, New York at 14-1 and Moscow, the 1980 host, at 33-1.
Paris has much of the infrastructure in place after hosting soccer's World Cup in 1998.

tara reid had a "wardrobe malfuction" at some awards ceremony or something; it was about the same scale as janet jackson.
By then the City of Lights will change its name from Paris to Saladin. By then it will also be the City of Darkness.
I bet the French pick "Hostage Beheading" as a provisional sport.
Yes, I've seen the pics and video. I must admit, impressive. : )

she's been in Maxim quite a few times over the years, and she's had a massive "enhancement" surgery done. the "flesh avalanche", of course, occurred after the fact.

Would France be able to tell the difference?
a perfectly innocent thread about the olympics, and we have managed to drag it into the polluted sludge. feel guilty? :)
It would be a riot trying to figure out who's behind the burqa...

cool. me neither.
Dear IOC, please let France host the Olympics. Then we can watch as the media in this country falls all over itself as they kiss up to the Frogs.
I heard that Greece lost money big time. I guess France can lose millions next. I hope.
I don't think she would be worth that much. Maybe all night?
Arafat's widow will probably chip in. She needs to do something with the several millions she collects every month.
Cool.
This should help bankrupt France.
Speaking of that -- when is Greece supposed to complete construction of the venues for the 2004 Olympics?
You put your finger on it:
She better get married while somebody will still have her.
That pesky old daylight thing has ruined many a short-term relationship!
