Sheryl's the One Lance Wants
imdb.com
Star cyclist Lance Armstrong is dating musician Sheryl Crow - and not Sandra Bullock. Widespread reports had the five-time Tour De France sporting hero hooked up with the Miss Congeniality star, and that he'd given her an inscribed bracelet. But Armstrong is instead smitten with "Soak Up The Sun" singer Sheryl, and the two have been dating since meeting last month at Andre Agassi 's Grand Slam for Children event in Las Vegas last month . A source says, "Lance was amused to hear about the bracelet as Sheryl's the one who has him hooked."

According to my local radio station histar.com who gives celeb gossip, Sheryl Crow was voted the rudest person to drive for by limo drivers.
They also said that she is the reason Anne Heche and Ellen broke up. She apparently messed around with Anne while Anne & Ellen were dating. After Anne & Ellen broke up, Sheryl told Anne to buzz off.

Page Six
IS Lance Armstrong engaged to Sheryl Crow? The six-time Tour de France winner didn't object ? and neither did she ? when staffers at the Hotel de Crillon in Paris referred to his singing sweetie as his "fiancée." Insiders at Crow's label, Interscope, said they had also heard the "rumor" that Armstrong proposed after winning the world's top bicycle race. A rep for Crow uttered a terse "no comment" when asked about the engagement. An assistant for Armstrong's rep also declined comment, as her boss was on a plane. Crow has told pals in the past she would like to have a child with Armstrong.

Sheryl Crow Fan Beats Stalking Rap

A love-struck fan who ardently pursued singer Sheryl Crow was found not guilty on burglary and stalking charges in a New York courtroom Tuesday, after the jury deliberated for about three hours.
As the verdict was read, an unsmiling Ambrose Kappos, 38, remained stoic, before he noisily kissed his lawyer on both cheeks and said, "That's a Greek kiss, brother." He also kissed his father on the cheek, and when his mother started to cry, he consoled her by saying, "It's over, it's over, it's over."
Had he been convicted, Kappos faced up to seven years in prison. During the trial, his defense lawyer Stanford Hickman pointed out that his client was polite and unthreatening, just in love with Crowe ? who had testified that Kappos "creeped me out" for following her (from July 2002 until his Oct. 6, 2003 arrest, according to charges) and contacting members of her family (in Tennessee and Missouri).
Crowe, 42, who has been dating cycling champ Lance Armstrong, was not in court for the verdict. She has yet to comment on the outcome of the case.
Outside the courtroom, the goateed Kappos, a former Navy diver, said, "Let me just say to Ms. Crow I pray that the universe pours down all of its blessings upon her and her loved ones now and always. A simple no thank you would been satisfactory."
As for his feelings about Crow: "I have nothing against the woman. I'm pretty sure I probably would buy her next album."
That sucks for Sheryl! I saw some video footage when they interviewed this guy, he's scarry!! Total nut job! I have a feeling this guy is going to continue harassing her..

Kappos was acquitted on Tuesday.
Crow's "Spiritual Twin" Cleared

A former Navy diver who claimed he was a "spiritual twin" to Sheryl Crow was acquitted Tuesday of stalking the Grammy-winning singer.
It took less than three hours for the New York jury to find Ambrose Kappos innocent of tailing Crow and harassing her family over the course of a year.
Kappos, who had been discharged from the Navy in the wake of the Crow allegations, emerged from court Tuesday a happy, and free, man.
"I am sorry about the misunderstanding, but that's all it was," he told reporters gathered outside the Manhattan Supreme Court building, where the trial began on Nov. 18.
"This could have been better handled if it was recognized for what it was--an honorable man trying to court a good woman, and a simple 'no thank you' from her or her duly or authorized agents would have been satisfactory," Kappos added.
Prosecutors and Crow herself claimed Ambrose was a bona fide threat to the singer, but the jury evidently thought otherwise and sided with Kappos' version of events.
Kappos, 38, was charged with misdemeanor stalking and felony burglary for allegedly approaching Crow and her entourage as she was ushered into a stretch limo prior to a Manhattan concert in October 2003. He also managed to elude security and slip into a private backstage area of Hammerstien Ballroom near Crow's dressing room at the same concert. The charges carried a maximum sentence of seven years in state prison.
But during the trial, Kappos' attorney, Stan Hickman, portrayed the onetime Navy SEAL as a groupie, not a stalker.
Kappos' mother, who attended the trial and spoke to reporters after the verdict was read Tuesday, agreed, saying her son "just wanted to get to meet" Crow. But, she did admit that Kappos had a "kooky way of doing it."
During testimony last week, Crow took the witness stand and said she was "scared" and "alarmed" by Kappos, and that his presence backstage at her gig gave her "pause." "It made me feel creeped out," she added. She also said she was upset that Kappos tracked down her family in an attempt to get to her.
Hickman, however, claimed the singer was never in any real danger.
During cross-examination, Hickman pressed Crow on the fact that Kappos never contacted her directly and reminded the jury that his client had not committed any violent acts against the singer.
Kappos, meanwhile, said that two unhappy marriages and other emotional problems might have contributed to his unhealthy and, in his words, "delusional" infatuation with Crow.
After the trial ended, Kappos joked to reporters: "Clearly there was no telepathy [between him and Crow]."

Armstrong and Crow out of the saddle
BANG
(BANG) - Rock star Sheryl Crow has reportedly split from cycling legend Lance Armstrong.
The couple, who met at a Las Vegas charity show, have been inseparable for the past 18 months.
However, friends say the pair's hectic work commitments have put too great a strain on the relationship.
While Armstrong is training at his Texan home for his final Tour De France in July, Crow has been busy recording a new album in far away New York.
A source revealed to America's Star magazine: "Any relationship is difficult when you spend more time apart. They spend more time on the phone than together, which is a shame."
Last summer, Crow supported Armstrong as he secured a place in the record books after winning the Tour De France for an astonishing six successive time.
This year, the sportsman, who survived testicular cancer, will be aiming for a seventh win in the world's most gruelling race, after which he plans to retire.
The father-of-three has said: "I think the biggest inspiration for this decision is my children.
"They are the ones who have told me that it's time to come home."

Armstrong rules out return to competitive cycling
Fri Sep 16, 2005 1:09 AM ET
NEW YORK (Reuters) - Worn down by doping scandals an exhausted Lance
Armstrong said on Thursday he had decided against a return to competitive
cycling.
Angry over recent doping allegations that have appeared in the French sports
daily L'Equipe, the seven-times Tour de France winner said recently he might
return to racing, the accusations out of France having awoken his
competitive side.
But as the doping controversy continued to swirl on Thursday, Armstrong who
turns 34 on Sunday, dismissed any thought of a comeback, saying he will stay
retired.
"I'm happy with the way my career ended. I'm not going back," Armstrong was
quoted in USA Today. "I'm sick of this.
"I opened it back up because in my heart it seemed like the right answer.
But now I know I couldn't go to France and get a fair shake on the road, in
doping control or the hotels."
Armstrong was thrust into the center of another doping scandal last month
after L'Equipe reported it had proof that six of Armstrong's urine samples
collected on the 1999 Tour de France showed traces of the banned substance
EPO (erythropoietin).
There were no tests to detect EPO, a drug that increases the level of red
blood cells and endurance, in 1999.
However, samples from the 1999 Tour de France were kept and have been
recently retested by a laboratory outside Paris.
Armstrong, who survived cancer, has steadfastly denied ever taking
performance-enhancing drugs.

How Lance Proposed to Sheryl
Wednesday Sep 21, 2005 3:00pm EST
When Sheryl Crow sashayed into Versace's grand relaunch party in London on Monday, the singer couldn't help but gush about the moment fiancé Lance Armstrong popped the question.
"He rowed me out into the middle of a lake in the mountains and asked me to get married," Crow, 43, told PEOPLE. "It was very romantic."
She also showed off her huge platinum-set diamond ring that Armstrong, the 34-year-old Tour de France champ, gave to her. "He picked out the ring himself and had it designed. It's absolutely gorgeous," said Crow, adding that they're already planning a spring wedding, likely in the U.S.
Armstrong, appearing on The Oprah Winfrey Show Tuesday, said that his proposal was more spur-of-the-moment than he expected. "We took this boat out to the middle of the lake, and this is one of these little fishing boats with the motor behind going," he said. "It ran out of gas in the middle of the lake, and so I thought, you know, we're stuck here. I may as well ask her now."
The couple both said the moment was picture perfect, but there was one thing missing, said Armstrong: "I felt bad…. I didn't have the ring with me."
Crow didn't seem to miss the bauble in the moment, but displayed the diamond on the air Tuesday. "It's a cushion cut. I think it's six carats. He definitely pulled out all the stops," she told Winfrey.
When asked by PEOPLE whether their wedding will be a big party or private affair? "Don’t know yet," Crow said. "I think probably a pretty big do."

Lance Armstrong's Fishing Lake Proposal
AP / Tammie Arroyo
Retired cycling hero Lance Armstrong proposed to rocker Sheryl Crow in Idaho
while the couple were stranded on a lake.
The sports star hadn't planned to ask his girlfriend to marry him when they
set out on a boat trip, but the opportunity was too great to miss when the
vessel ran out of gas.
He recalls, "We were in Sun Valley, Idaho, which is a good place. We're on
this lake and these people let us go out to their lake cabin and we took
this boat out to the middle of the lake this is one of those little fishing
boats with the motor behind.
"It ran out of gas in the middle of the lake, so I thought, 'You know, we're
stuck here, I may as well ask her now.'
"I felt bad (because) I didn't have the ring with me but it was too perfect,
too beautiful."
Crow admits she was stunned by the proposal, but didn't hesitate to say yes.
Speaking on yesterday's "Oprah" show, she revealed, "He definitely pulled
out all the stops ... He was being really romantic."
Crow insists she'd be foolish to turn down the chance to marry Armstrong:
"There are too many things to name that I love about him -- he's gorgeous
and he's funny and he's smart and he's a fantastic dad. Gosh, I just love
him."
The couple plan to wed next spring.

I don't understand her. I don't think she is that talented or pretty. What does Lance Armstrong see in her????

Sheryl Crow will reportedly marry Lance Armstrong in a spring wedding at Santa Barbara's luxury Bacara Resort.
Insiders claim the smitten couple will tie the knot in April at the swanky Californian resort, where Jennifer Lopez and Britney Spears planned - but eventually scrapped - their weddings.
Sheryl is having her wedding dress made by top designer Ralph Lauren, who is set to design the entire event.
A source told America's New York Post newspaper: "Everything from the dress down to the candles and flatware will be from his collections."
The stunning singer has revealed the fashion guru has agreed to create her bridal gown because they are good friends.
She told Britain's Daily Telegraph newspaper: "My wedding dress is going to be made by Ralph Lauren. Ralph is a very old friend of mine and I'm really flattered that he's agreed to do it because he has only made wedding gowns for a couple of people before."
The beautiful rocker got engaged to the cycling champ earlier this month.
Sheryl, 43, first met Lance - who has three children from his first marriage - at a charity event in October 2003 and the pair have enjoyed a relationship ever since.

Crow Thanks Armstrong's Cancer Supporters
Sheryl Crow put on a free concert in her fiance Lance Armstrong's adopted hometown of Austin, Texas, earlier this month (OCT05) to thank the residents for supporting him during his cancer battle.
The All I Wanna Do singer, 43, played the show on 2 October (05), nine years to the day that her man was diagnosed with testicular cancer.
And survivor Armstrong, who attended the show with his three young children, even got in on the act - he played the drums on a cover of Zz Top's Gimme All Your Lovin'.
After watching her champion cyclist beau play the drums, Crow joked, "When I found out he could do that too, boy, I was p**sed!"

CROW'S WEDDING WILL BE A LAST MINUTE THING
SHERYL CROW has hinted she might marry fiance LANCE ARMSTRONG as she tours America - because the couple is struggling to fix a date for a proper ceremony.
The rocker admits they have to keep changing their plans to tie the knot because they can't come up with a permanent wedding date.
So now Crow and Armstrong are likely to get married on the spur of the moment.
She says, "Somewhere in between this small tour and doing a big tour, we're going to get married, and we would like to invite all of our fans, but we can't so we don't know what we're doing.
"We set a date and then we move it, we set a date and then move it. Now, we're just like, 'Let's run off, so I don't know."

Crow: Tabloids Rooting for News of Breakup
Dating Lance Armstrong has given Sheryl Crow a taste of what it feels like to be part of a celebrity couple and she's not too crazy about it.
"I think we've actually escaped a lot of it, because I've seen what happened to Brad and Jen and Nick and Jessica," Crow told The Associated Press in a recent interview.
Crow said celebrity magazines are more interested in seeing a couple break up than reporting on them being happy together. The 43-year-old singer and Armstrong, 34, announced their engagement in September.
"When we were rumored to have split, and when our publicists called these magazines to say we haven't split, the magazines were all so disappointed because that's really what's selling, rooting for a couple and then they split," she said. "That's what sells the magazines."
And Crow says it's not just tabloids that perpetuate the negative vibe.
"There's so much harshness in the world now, there are so many hard edges," she complained. "I cannot pick up a magazine or really even for that matter a newspaper without some kind of nasty editorial comment that just offends me. Why can't we just report things the way they are or see things for the good in them? ... It's an insidious energy."
Although Crow was by Armstrong's side to cheer him on during his last two wins on the Tour de France and she credits him for inspiring her latest album, "Wildflower," Crow says she tries to keep her relationship with him as private as possible.
"Our life is somewhat out there, but we protect it pretty heavily."

She is gonna used left over sperm from the last ex-wife? Eww.
people.com
Though she admits "there's always a little bit of truth" in tabloid stories, Sheryl Crow is shooting down reports that "from the time I've known Lance (Armstrong) I've been going to fertility clinics, (and we) and actually got married in Portland about two years ago."
The singer-songwriter aimed to set the record straight over the weekend, as she helped open the new Ritz-Carlton, Grand Cayman. Crow, 43, told reporters about the fertility rumor: "I can laugh about it, but in the privacy of my own home it grieves me, because those are such serious and personal topics that somebody would feel that they have a right to even write about it is grotesque. So what can you say? ... If I were going to a fertility clinic, I'm sure that I wouldn't be talking with you guys about it."
The record-holding, seven-time Tour de France winner Armstrong, 34, proposed to Crow on Aug. 31, during a mountain-biking vacation in Sun Valley, Idaho. As Crow described the moment to PEOPLE: "He rowed me out into the middle of a lake in the mountains and asked me to get married. It was very romantic."
Before popping the question Armstrong first got the okay from his kids: Luke, 5, and twins Grace Elizabeth and Isabelle Rose, 3. (Armstrong split with their mother, the former Kristin Richard, in 2003, after five years of marriage. Before he began chemotherapy for testicular cancer, Lance banked sperm – which was used to conceive his children through in vitro fertilization.)
Regarding her relationship with Armstrong's children, Crow, who used to teach youngsters and calls herself "totally kid-acclimated," said: "I have been in their life now for over 2 1/2 years ... for almost as long as they can remember, which is really nice for me. And, for them, there's nothing jarring about it. We have a great relationship ... and I have a good relationship with their mom."
Noting that she, Armstrong and their mother "take raising them very seriously," Crow adds: "Our first concern is making sure that they feel comfortable with all of us, that they know that we just have their best interests at heart, and really I'm just one more person that's going to be in their lives that's going to love them."
And, as for the actual wedding: "We're just now starting to plan it, and we're still shooting for next spring. But we're going to really keep it under wraps. We're not doing a huge big wedding. We just want it to be pretty much family."
Will it be in her native Missouri, or his native Texas? "Actually," Crow says slyly, "neither."

Well, Ted is reporting today that he dumped her and I hope to hell it's true. HATE SherOLD Crow!
Did he really dump her? I just saw her on some show where she showed of the diamond ring he had given her. Didn't he dump his wife after she stuck by him through his cancer ordeal?? Sheryl Crow had put her career somewhat on hold while he was doing his thing, so now he dumps her? I guess, if true, Sheryl should have known it was a possibility after he dumped his wife.

Today, Ted is reporting that the wedding might be back on because Lance's mommy really wants him to marry her (what a puss!) and because it might be a TomKat situation Ted said! What's up with that? If she's pregnant, why use them as an example?

I guess, if true, Sheryl should have known it was a possibility after he dumped his wife.He met his ex-wife after her went through his cancer ordeal. the accounts that I have heard is that he feels only he "healed" himself from his cancer. His ex-wife believes in God and he does not. And felt he did not need to "Thank God" for still being here.
Frankly I can't stand him and I have a hard time believing his story. I think someone messed up. Going through cancer treatments myself I know how rough it is. But in the past six years, and one month (yea!!) I have met many poeple with cancer. Once the cancer metaisized (sp) into your brain and lungs and liver there is little hope. I have personally know 8 friends whose cancer metasized (sp) into their livers, brains, and lungs and only one is still alive today and the doctors are not giving her too long. I don't doubt he had testcular cancer. But I don't see how it went into his brain and lungs and not only is he still alive after 7 (?) years but he is top of the line for bike riding.?? Someone needs to explain this to me. And I still won't belive you when you do. I know all cancers are different but once it starts to spread they are not that different in life span. And if he is still alive after this why couldn't they save my friends JoAnn, Beth, Melody, Chris, Julie, Christine, Becky, Peggy, Faith, and Susan.
Just my vent.....
Lance Armstrong & Sheryl Crow Split
February 3, 2006
In another shocking celebrity breakup, LANCE ARMSTRONG and SHERYL CROW have split, according to People magazine. The seven-time Tour de France bicycling champion and the rockstar musician got engaged in September 2005, when Armstrong proposed to Crow in Sun Valley, ID, not long after he retired from the pro circuit in July. He and Crow officially became an item back in early 2004.
"After much thought and consideration we have made a very tough decision to split up. We both have a deep love and respect for each other and we ask that everyone respect our privacy during this very difficult time," a joint statement released to People through Armstrong's spokesman read.
Armstrong, 33, has a son and two twin daughters from a previous marriage. Grammy winner Crow, 42, has previously been linked to ERIC CLAPTON, OWEN WILSON and KID ROCK.
The couple spoke to BARBARA WALTERS last November, when Armstrong was named one of Walters' "Most Fascinating People." While showing off her six-carat diamond engagement ring, the two talked about what drew them together.
"She's hot," Lance said. "I saw that!"
But Sheryl said she just knew he was the one. "I think sometimes you meet people and they just strike such a familiar chord with you," she said. "I just thought I had known him forever."
Lance also spoke to our KEVIN FRAZIER about his love for Crow in August 2005, saying, "We plan on having a long future together."
For more news on the split, stay tuned to ET!

I never got this one. She seems so worn out.
At last..... 
What is it with celebrity splits and mentioning, "careful thought and consideration" or whatever variation of the week they want to use in the press release? It started w/ Brad and Jen, then Nick & Jessica used it, now these two.
God, I feel pathetic for noticing, let alone griping about, this.

people is reporting they split too and confirmed by their publisist
So... does anyone know what led to the split? Wanting children? Their age difference? What???

IMO....It's the age thing, she's 42 and looks it!
I don't think she looks that bad for 42...IMO. She looks doable...especially for an older rock/pop chick she could looking much worse. I dare to see Britney at that age....Aguilera, I think would hold up well.
And even though Lance Armstrong kicks ass...regardless if he cheats or not...He isn't necessarily a spring chicken...He looks like he is in his 40's.

Well, I can't figure out why they split. They seemed happy together.
I agree, Bobby D. Lance doesn't look good for a 33 year old man. Sheryl is
aging much better than him.
I think Lance is in love with Lance and that's a no-win situation for any woman
who falls for him.

Remember he did leave his wife for Sheryl or another it might've been another woman. And that wife stood by him during his struggle with cancer...a-hole.
ITA, Malibu...not only he might be love with Lance...but if he is retired and not racing anymore...he might be a pain in the ass to live with now.
