Baltimore native Pam Shriver has gotten a chance to catch her breath after a whirlwind month and a half in which she covered the French Open (in Paris) and Wimbledon (in England) for ESPN, played golf and celebrated her 40th birthday in Scotland, and was inducted into the Tennis Hall of Fame in Newport, R.I. Oh, and did we mention that she also got married in California sometime in the middle of all that? Pam says she and hubby George Lazenby were just planning to get married on the fly. "But, when we threw out the word elope [to my parents]

Pam Shriver is driving down the highway in full Southern California mode -- meaning she is on her cell phone -- trying to recall the night her fiance proposed to her in a little French bistro in Santa Monica. "Let's see, it was (over) something meaty, beef, I think," she says. "Boeuf Bourguignon," her fiance can be heard prompting her. "And we had red wine," Shriver continues. "Chateauneuf-du-Pape," he chimes in. Hold the phone, Miss Moneypenny, but I'll be snookered if that gentleman with the discriminating tastes and the foreign accent talking in the background doesn't sound like Bond.

Tennis Hall of Famer and Baltimore native Pam Shriver, 42, has given birth to a baby boy.

YOU'VE GOT to hand it to Pam Shriver. She never misses any news flash or subject pertaining to Baltimore. In a pithy e-mail dispatched from her new Los Angeles home on the eve of her arrival in Baltimore, the tennis champ jokingly fretted that something weird might be in store for her. She was eager to get home and spend the week at her parents' house, until she heard about the robbery/kidnap/shooting victim who wound up naked and bloodied on Cal Ripken's...

His name is Lazenby. George Lazenby. Some 007 fans say the one film in which he played James Bond, 1969's "On Her Majesty's Secret Service," was the best pic of the Bond bunch. It was also the only film in which Bond marries; Diana Rigg was the lucky woman. In real life, a very happy Pam Shriver will claim that privilege. B-more's tennis star says she first met the Australian actor at Wimbledon a year and a half ago. "One of the big ironies," Pam says, "is that the man who introduced us, Peter Smiley, is also the man who introduced me to my late husband."
