– Believe it or not, these are pictures of the same man: retired steroid-injecting slugger Sammy Sosa. Thing is, that’s him as a Chicago Cub circa 2004 on the left, and last week at the Latin Grammys on the right. Is he bleaching his skin? Did he take up moonwalking, too? Que pasa, amigo? A friend of Sosa’s told the Chicago Tribune that the Dominican Republic native, who turns 41 on Thursday and now lives in a $4.4 million penthouse in Aventura, is in the process of undergoing some form of skin rejuvenation. From the looks of it, there must not be much skin left on Sosa’s face. Said Palm Beach dermatologist Layne Nisenbaum: “It looks like he is using a prescription bleach. If it were skin rejuvenation, it’d look better than this. This is terrible.”

Steve Abrams

– It’s good to see that Palm Beach County Commish and attorney Steve Abrams has kept his sense of humor despite resigning from the Fort Lauderdale law firm of Rothstein Rosenfeldt and Adler as it collapsed last week. Founder Scott Rothstein is believed to have been running a $100 million Ponzi scheme. Abrams, a former mayor of Boca Raton, opened his remarks to a Rotary Club gathering the other day with this: “I’ll get this out of the way immediately. You’ve been reading about it in the papers, and it’s been worrying me, actually keeping me up at night. My Philadelphia Phillies are losing to the New York Yankees.”

    So he is not happy with the color of his skin. But the problem may be skin deep.

    Lambiet’s Page2Live column is unabashedly gossipy. It’s never claimed to be anything else.

    The problem comes when gossip takes over the news, as it seems to do so often.

    That skin rejuvenation therapy- i see it changes eye color as well. what a waste- he was handsome before.

  17. Comment by jeff — November 10, 2009 @ 5:27 pm

    Ever since this Jose character has somehow been allowed to turn the Palm Beach Post into a tabloid, I’ve tried to steer clear. Just when you think you are about to click on a link to read a “real” article, there he is again with the same rediculous smirk taken liberty to talk crap about someone. It’s amazing the Post gives him the feedom they do.
    NO WAY JOSE!!!!!

    I’m not digging sammy’s new look, but let the man live. Might not have been what he intended to do. Wassup with the Lambiet tool who keeps writing these completely ignorant and meaningless articles. Shouldn’t he be writing for the National Inquirer or something. How did the PB post actually make a decision to hire such dry and boring writer who picks the most ridiculous topics to focus on. And who is he to talk anyway, look at Jose Lambiet, he looks like a dried up prune. How about an article on his wrinkles. Looks like he could use some rejuvenation.

  19. Comment by "WOW" — November 10, 2009 @ 6:12 pm

    BLACK PEOPLE WANT TO BE WHITE AND WHITE PEOPLE WANT TO BE BLACK!!!!!!!

    Dark skinned people bleaching there skin and Light skinned people tanning in the sun or in beds.

    Why can’t poeple just be happy with who they are??

    Leave your skin alone, be proud! Its healthier!! Plus:

    Beautiy is only skin deep, LOOK behind the mask and into the heart. The heart is the right place.

  20. Comment by Murder? — November 10, 2009 @ 7:11 pm

    Abrams is very glib about his association with ROTHSTEIN the Jewish Avenger.

    What if it turns out that the person that has been charged (some say set - up) for the alleged murder of an attorney in the RRA firm was not the person who did it?

    What if it turns out Ms. Lewis (Former RRA ATTY and allegedly best friends with Rothstein’s Accounting Manager) allegedly found out too much of the wrong information and was murdered.

    People are talking about this online everywhere. The attorneys in the firm must have been suspicious…or were they blinded by the bling or too busy cashing Rothstein’s checks?

    I wonder if Abrams will still be so glib if more information comes to light on this murder charge.

    Attys. know what goes on in their offices….in detail. Don’t let them lie to us.

    Attorney lie? No way!

  22. Comment by Mr. Palm Beach — November 10, 2009 @ 8:20 pm

    Why is this tabloid cr@p allowed to be posted on the PB Post front page? I hate these dayum tabloid links.

    Either post a realistic news non tabloid story on the front page or don’t post it at all.

    Lambiet need to be flambe’d

    He is is not the only one that does this. All Indian bleach their skin, and other Asians. Dominicans do, look at the group Adventura, they do this a lot. Africans do, esp. somali, Kenyan and Caribe people, Rihanna, Jenifer Lopez, Marc Anthony, Shakira is black, I’m sorry, check out when she stop using in some of her interviews on youtube. Even white people do this, from mediterranean background, Jews, French and Spanish, Turks and all….it’s insane, just crazy…African Americans don’t do this like that but there are a few, the notorious MJ,RIP….Janet and sis, MYA from dancing with the stars, Wendy Williams, Mario the singer, but this is more of a Latino, West Indian delema, did i say Beyonce…This nasty white skin this man has is bruised and played out, it is so unatural, he was a gorgeous man by the way, no homo…

  29. Comment by Abrams and RRA — November 11, 2009 @ 9:50 pm

    Hay Commissioner Abrams….some people are allegedly wondering if your Law Partner, Rothstein, had a hand in murdering former lawyer Ms. Lewis at RRA?

    What do you think? Sarcastic?

    Here is one comment/allegation from online….

    Christy says:
    All seems so transparent to me. Poor melissa Lewis R.I.P.
    to many Rothstein connections regarding Melissa Lewis.
    He even put up the reward money $250,000 . Then never paid it. Prosecuting attorney then works for Rothstein.
    Debra Villegas gets a car and house after Melissa Lewis dies.
    Debra Villegas handles Rothstein’s accounts. Melissa is Debra’s bestfriend. Microphomes all over Rothstein’s office.
    Wonder what Rothstein heard Melissa say? Plantation Police Department and Rothstein? THis is Police Work for Dummies.

    [...] A publicist who worked for Sosa’s party stopped the Cuba-born Santos on the red carpet and accused him of making fun of Sosa, a native of the Dominican Republic. Slammin’ Sammy, a record-beating hitter in the Majors when he played for the Chicago Cubs, made news over the past few weeks for obviously having had his face bleached. [...]

    I’m not sure if Sammy Sosa is bleaching his skin or not. OK, I am fairly sure. I do believe in LIVE and LET LIVE. However, Mr. Sosa - your new look is horrible. If the bleach was supposed to help you look better, it hasn’t. You’ve aged 20 years. It looks so bad that… I actually feel bad for you.
