I think the Phil Mickelson headline deserves votes purely for its prescience regarding Tiger Woods sleeping with tons of chicks.

Sharipova definitely should win. Its too bad it wasn't in the main list.

The Sharapova and Greg Norman headlines are my favorites, followed closely by the Bobby Brown/Houston headline and the now appropriate Tiger Woods headline.
