he eats pizzas too

Because I'm all about bringing you the hard news... Over the weekend, Takeru Kobayashi, the Japanese hot dog eating guy, outlasted rival Joey Chestnut in a contest see who could devour the most pizzas: Japan's Kobayashi beats Chestnut in eating rematch.

During the six-minute contest sponsored by Pizza Hut, 31-year-old Kobayashi ate 5 3/4 P'zones, while 25-year-old Chesnut fell short at just 5 1/2 P'zones. Portions of this event will air on the Spike TV "Guys' Choice" show on June 21. I have a strong feeling that if I watching it, I'm going to vomit.

What the hell is a P'zone, you ask? It's a pizza weighing one pound with pepperoni and other ingredients sealed inside a crust. It's like a gigantic, 12-inch calzone. Like I said -- vomit.

Of course, the real showdown will take place next month at the annual Fourth of July hot dog eating showdown. Chestnut has beaten Kobayashi the last two years, winning last year in a five-dog eat-off after they tied at 59 frankfurters in 10 minutes. Will former six-time champ Kobayashi redeem himself?
