Sheckler and about 10 of his closest friends lounged in their VIP bungalow all day, and the young skater attracted a lot of female attention after taking off his shirt and lounging by the pools in front of his VIP area. He took photos with fans and even signed a number of decks from his own line of skateboards  for a few lucky fans.

Athlete Sighting: Mike Tyson

Mike Tyson was spotted  out with wife Lakiha Spicer stepping into Crustacean restaurant in Beverly Hills.

The former Heavyweight Champion of the World and Hangover star was inducted into the celebrity wing of the WWE Hall of Fame over the weekend in Miami. Tyson is a lifelong pro wrestling fan who watched it as a young kid before his professional boxing career began. He’s made a few guest appearances on shows like Monday Night Raw.

Tyson said of being inducted, “We all love wrestling. It’s like a soap opera for men. … When I give my speech, you won’t have to worry about me breaking down and crying at that one like I did at the boxing Hall of Fame. You’ll hear every sentence loud and crackling and clear. This one goes straight to my ego. It’s like, ‘I’m so cool.’ This is going to be fun. I’m just very ecstatic about it. It’s a very big honor to me.”

Sylvestor Stallone was also inducted into the Hall of Fame this weekend.

Athlete Sighting: Jeremy Lin

New York Knicks star Jeremy Lin was mobbed by fans and children seeking an autograph when he left Bar Pitti, an Italian restaurant in Greenwich Village, earlier today.

Despite the team’s recent 6-game losing streak, New York City residents are apparently staying loyal to the man behind the “Linsanity.”

One question: why is he sporting the color of the team he just lost to last night? Someone get the guy in some blue and orange!

Usain Bolt Shows Prince Harry How It’s Done

Prince Harry visited the Usain Bolt Track at the University of the West Indies in Kingston, Jamaica as part of a tour honoring Queen Elizabeth II’s 60 years on the throne.

Harry fooled the fastest man on the planet in a race, with a false start that put him ahead. After some laughter, Bolt caught up to Harry and made his signature skyward point. Prince Harry followed suit for the entertainment of the audience of mostly University students.

The two discussed running in front of the crowd, and the Prince recognized Jamaica for being a track and field powerhouse, encouraging any runners in the crowd to, “Don’t go running off to America, because you’ve got talent your country needs.”

Athlete Sighting: Luis Suarez

Liverpool FC star Luis Suarez was spotted leaving the posh San Carlo restaurant in Liverpool with his wife yesterday.

Suarez became a controversial player after being banned for eight matches last year due to alleged remarks made against Man U player Patrice Evra deemed racist by the Football Association. Upon returning from the ban, he was handed a yellow card in his first game back for kicking a player on the opposing team. Later, his refusal to shake Evra’s hand following a game made him even more scorned.

The rumor is the Uruguyan will likely be traded this summer for a large sum of money. His impressive stats make him a hot commodity but after the controversy, Liverpool is supposedly eager to trade him off.
