As a youngster, I spent hours trying to think of a way to make Kelly Kapowski break up with Zack Morris so she could date me. It turns out I wasn't alone. Clippers All-Star Chris Paul turned 29 yesterday and received the greatest gift ever - an autographed photo of Tiffani Thiessen (the actress who played Kapowski) in all her Saved by the Bell glory.

Now comes word that Topps has created the first official Jobu baseball card as part of a spin-off set honoring the movie. Now someone needs to find Jesus Christ to see if he can hit a curveball to settle a quarter-century-old debate.

Congrats (I think) to retired outfielder David Justice, who will appear on Celebrity Wife Swap Tuesday night and trade spouses with Dweezil Zappa. Justice, who may be best known as the former Mr. Halle Berry, played in the famous 1992 Rock 'N Jock baseball game and hung out with Ken Griffey Jr. and Barry Bonds.
