Remember their name: Fame

hollywood_logo.jpgPut John Salley, Nick Lachey, Stacy Keibler, Brady Anderson, Kyle Boller and Brian Vickers into the same room, and what'll they have to talk about?
Other than trashing Jessica Simpson....

They've got the Hollywood Fame, the latest fly-by-night expansion franchise for the American Basketball Association, and the ownership group appears to include Salley, the former Lakers forward and "Best Damn Sports Show Period" co-host; Lachey, the psedo-singer and USC hanger-on; Keibler, the WWE wrassler and "Dancing With the Stars" maven; Anderson, the former Baltimore Orioles outfielder; Boller, the Baltimore Ravens quarterback out of Valencia's Hart High, and Vickers, the NASCAR driver.
Others in the group are AJ Discala, the CEO of Brax Capital Group and de facto owner, and Geoff Stults, an actor from "7th Heaven."
The plan is to have the team up and running in November with home games at the decrepit pit of the L.A. Sports Arena, which will be out of commission since USC is moving over the Galen Center.
The Fame is/are planning tryouts in September to fill the roster and cheerleading squad -- Kiebler anyone?
