Sheyla Hershey, a model in Brazil, is trying to set the world record for largest breast implants. She’s had eight procedures in five years and is up to size 34 triple F, or roughly the size of neighboring Uruguay. Even if her bosom isn’t the biggest, she’s definitely a boob, racking up some impressive medical bills.

The last Straw: Darryl Strawberry is penning a memoir, slated for release in 2009. Let’s hope it’s not scratch and sniff.

Tastycrooks: An Ohio judge could send a man back to prison for sharing a snack cake with an inmate sans permission. That would put the ‘treat’ in “unfair treatment.”

Buzzkill: Author Buzz Bissinger went ballistic on blogger Will Leitch recently on HBO’s “Costas Now.” Bissinger should consider pitching a new TV show, “Friday Night Spite.”

Deal with it: ESPN is playing a little hold ‘em of its own, moving the day of the World Series of Poker final from July to November. Only time will tell if this is a flop.

Tombstone Creamery: Irvine Robbins, the co-founder of ice cream chain Baskin-Robbins died Monday, at age 90. Surely, Heaven has more than 31 flavors.

Karate kidding: On May 15, the AAA Fresno Grizzlies will host an 80′s night with actor Billy Zabka, aka the bad guy fro “The Karate Kid.” On the opening leg of a four-game series, Fresno will be encouraged to go for the sweep.

Best of the rest: NASA is offering $17K to subjects willing to come to its facility in Houston and lay in bed for 90 straight days, so they can study the effects of microgravity. It’s called “The Brian Wilson Program.” Those considering the offer are advised to sleep on it first.

Piece of mind: The new season of “American Gladiators” starts May 12. It’s the perfect show for those who find pro wrestling too subtle and intricate or those who’ve had recent lobotomies.

Keep the change: A man in Illinois has asked the courts permission to legally alter his name to “In God We Trust.” That’d be so money (though he’d know it).

Barre all: Performing his own “March of the Penguins,” Nathan Smith of the AHL’s Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins was charged with indecent exposure after running down a Pa. street naked, acting on a bet. We’d hate to see his idea of a free skate.

Putting the ‘bum’ in “album”: A man in Texas tried to cash a check for $360 billion, which he said was to start a record company with. He was taken to Sing Sing.

Charlie horse’s ass: Notre Dame coach Charlie Weis, speaking to a group of alumni in Pa., remarked, “I could get hoodlums and thugs and win tomorrow.” You mind picking up some tact and humility while you’re out, Charlie?

A few stitches and he was good as new: The Cincinnati Reds mascot, Mr. Redlegs, lost his giant baseball-for-a-head after he tumbled off an ATV during Wednesday’s game. He seams fine now.

Those who can’t sing, teach: Britney Spears has been giving parenting advice to her pregnant little sister, which is the equivalent taking an ethics class taught by Roger Clemens.

Home free: Speaking of steroids, Jose Canseco’s bank account has shriveled up worse than his testicles. Canseco had his California mansion foreclosed on. Documents show he owed more than $2.5 million on it. Canseco shared a common trait with his mortage rate: both kept shooting up.
