Only two people in the history of the world have won all four slams and a gold medal-you and Steffi Graf.

And who should happen to have won it on the women’s side? Who? Tell me. You won the 1999 French Open on the men’s side, he says. Sometimes it's truly worth watching what happens live.To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt: She may have been two drinks in, as stars so often are alongside Cohen, but her comments revealed a lot about Agassi, about her, and about what we want from our premier performers on screen and court. The format, which lets people pose questions on the phone and via Twitter, rewards candid, off-the-cuff responses.Īnd that's just what we got from Shields on this night. The Spin is a fan of Cohen's show at large, deleting it from the DVR only when his guests are pairs of well-heeled, no-talent clowns hailing from wig-pulling, adult-Mean-Girl-ing 'reality' shows. If I felt attacked, I would be in a different position, and I didn't feel attacked.' He's not a horrible person, and his intention was not that. I come out a little bit like you kind of feel for me more, and I think he did himself in in it. 'And then I got a letter back that said, 'I'm so sorry I couldn't change anything because it wasn't how I remembered it.'

'With all due respect, I did not come across as badly as people might have thought that wanted to, but that's not who he is. 'I corrected things that were not as I remembered them, and chronologically, and I have diaries of everything,' Shields said on WWHL, to the surprise of no one. Moehringer is widely known to have worked with Agassi on Open, though his involvement with it is more co-writer than ghostwriter (as Agassi praises him in the book's acknowledgments, as he did on the promotional tour). Moehringer himself penned a memoir, The Tender Bar, that like Shields' There Was a Little Girl: The Real Story of My Mother and Me, tells the story of living in bars when young-Moehringer as a preteen boy, Shields carried by her alcoholic mother as a baby. Um, I write my own books, FYI,' Shields said, gesturing broadly toward a vigorously nodding and finger-snapping Cohen. And I spent five hours with his ghostwriter. 'I was asked to read it by him so that I could correct things that I believed were not correct because he told me that his memory was not that good.
