POW! TAKE THAT, DRY, FLAKY SKIN!

Funny, we had been wondering what kind of moisturizer to wear to a happy-go-lucky whupping. Thankfully, JACKIE CHAN, who always seems to know his way around a tight spot, has stepped up. He just launched his eponymous skin-care line. Why an action star should have a particular expertise in moisturizers, masks and toners is a bit of a mystery, but perhaps all that jumping off bridges, crashing through windows and sliding down buildings can lead to chafing. Or it simply makes sense in light of Chan's other business ventures, which include fitness clubs, apparel and, of course, oatcakes.

NOMAR AND MIA'S DOUBLE PLAY

Some youth-sports coach is a few years away from hitting the jackpot--a roster with the offspring of major league dad NOMAR GARCIAPARRA, 33, and ultimate soccer mom MIA HAMM, 34. Los Angeles Dodgers first baseman Garciaparra and retired Women's World Cup champ Hamm met at a 1998 charity event and wed in Santa Barbara, Calif., in 2003. The pair told the world (at least the reporters who hang around the Dodger locker room) that they expect twins. No word yet on gender or due date, but news of the first kid for both athletes leaves sports fans pondering pressing questions: Can you bronze teeny cleats? How many points for sinking a shot in a Diaper Genie? Can Derek Jeter be counted on to baby-sit? In any case, we're sure these babies will come out kicking.
