THE BEAT

EXILED KNICK Stephon Marbury likes the camera, even with a fan on the street. Brendan McNamara, a 30-year-old Internet actor-filmmaker, saw Marbury waiting at a bus stop in L.A. and asked him to film some improv conversations. In four short, and entertaining, webisodes Marbury and McNamara chat about things like breakups and tattoos while buses pass. After a bus fails to stop for Marbury, he says, "I can't get no playing time in the game, and I can't get no playing time with the bus." ... When country diva Carrie Underwood (above) was shown on the jumbotron at a Senators-Predators game in Nashville, she ducked out of camera range. Underwood has reportedly been dating Ottawa center Mike Fisher, though neither has confirmed it.
