MAIL ONLINE - Jennifer Lopez's legal battle to keep embarrassing home video from her first marriage under wraps has failed. The singer's ex-husband Ojani Noa has won the fight, that has been ongoing for years, to release footage from their short lived marriage. Noa managed to find a loophole in the law that allowed the release of the tape. He apparently sold the footage to his girlfriend Claudia Vazquez for her to release, according to RadarOnline. The American Idol judge had successfully managed to block the release, saying that Noa making the footage public violated the confidentiality agreement that he signed after he divorced the star. In a ruling issued by a Los Angeles judge this morning, Vasquez is now allowed to release the footage that JLo has been battling so hard to keep under lock and key. Ed Meyer who is Noa's agent and the executive producer of the project said the release of the tape is now imminent...
There's one huge reason that I can't wait to see this epic production - J-Lo's ass. It's the stuff of legend. Just to see that thing gettin' pounded would be worth the price of admission, a large popcorn and a box of tissues. I'm gettin' the trench-coat ready. Release the hounds!
Enough! Make it stop! The fake boobs are saggin', the face is butt-ugly and the belly button's pointin' the wrong way. Put some clothes on, dammit. And the face has become a total two-bagger. This nastiness just should not be seen in public.
Wow. These chicks are pretty good, huh? As Cedric Maxwell would say, "Go in the kitchen and make me some bacon and eggs." Yeesh.
Just a little over two months since she had a kid? Lookin' tight for a 38-year-old. Yummy Mummy alert!
I hate to say I told ya so, but I told ya so. Here's what I posted about Tressel back on March 9th:
Bahtendah Wisdom - Pay Attention!
Ohio State has handed down a two game suspension and a $250,000 fine to coach Jim Tressel. It's a joke. Tressel is supended for games against lightweights Akron and Toledo and trust me, the $250k won't hurt him at all. This is a guy that makes an estimated $3.5 Mill per year. Yahoo! Sports first reported that Tressel was aware of the memorabilia scheme that his players pulled, exchanging swag for tattoos for months and didn't notify the NCAA.
This is a preemptive strike by Ohio State, hoping to slap Tressel's wrist before the NCAA comes in and lowers the boom. News flash: This shit happens all the time at major college sports programs. The violations are so rampant and widespread that the NCAA probably catches about 10% of the crap goin' on out there. I had a friend who played basketball at Boston College. He told me that there were envelopes of cash in every player's locker after each game. The amount you received was proportional to how you performed in that day's game. Score a lot in a big win and you get a little more. But everyone on the team had a postgame envelope whether you even got off the bench or not. Cash money. Untraceable.
Here's what I think: Where there's smoke, there' fire. I'm betting that if Tressel is put under more intense scrutiny, lots of other dirty little secrets will be uncovered. First of all, he's under incredible pressure to win. Not his fault, but he took the job and cashes the checks. And pressure makes people make stupid decisions. Secondly, and this is just a gut feeling, but Jimmy Boy just looks a little too smarmy and self-righteous for my liking. Mr. Prim-And-Proper-Dresser has some skeletons in the closet and the bone collectors are coming.
Wake up people, it's time to pay these top D1 athletes in revenue-producing programs over the table, because all the shit that's under the table is startin' to stink to high heaven. Until you do, the scandals will just keep comin'. Bang. Pay atention!
Random Stuff
~Energy regaining: I've lost a lot of energy from being sick for a week and not eating that much during that time. I'm slowly started to regain it day by day. Riding the bicycle is not easy, but I am able to do it now.
~How about getting fined for cheering during your son's Graduation?: Some parents in South Carolina had that very thing happen to them. They cheered when their child went on stage. By the way, the ticket is $265. Come on, I'm glad we're fining taxpayers that usually follow the law. Again, it is easier to ticket good people instead of finding and preventing real crime.
~Gordy the other talking pig movie: The Nostalgia Critic did a review on this strange movie. The movie came out in the same year as Babe. However, Babe was a hit, and this talking pig movie was ignored. The kicker is Gordy came out first.
I hope dad is using Priceline...
~$#*! My Dad Says turns to shit: Finally, CBS does something right and cancels that lame Shatner sitcom. Part of me hated the fact that a Twitter site spawned a damn TV show, let alone they had to use Mr. Shatner himself to mix. Now, all is right with the universe.
~Did I mention they finally got rid of “V” as well? It seems most of these 80s remakes are not sitting well with the reality show audiences. However, V lasted longer than the old school TV show that aired on NBC way back in the day. That show lasted only a season and had a ton more behind the scene problems than the recent show.
Rapping in Alphabetical Order
Damn, De-Strom did it countless times during the song. This man has some major skills.

I had to add this picture. I just saw it. It's by artist David Palumbo and I am absolutely in love with it (or maybe it's with her).
Either way, she knows her enemy and looks pretty handy with that big knife.
I've been here and there. I've drawn a lot of pictures. I've written a bit, too. I'm not good at this self-promotion thing. Look, you want to know about me? just visit these websites. Okay?

Will Smith has a big trailer...
I remember all the talk about Will Smith's huge trailer he uses on the set of MIB 3.
From The Scoop (Today), ((The trailer, nicknamed "The Heat," as the New York Postreports, "includes a lounge, a movie room with a 100-inch screen, marble floors throughout, offices for his assistants and writing staff, a large bedroom and all-granite bathroom. It measures about 53 feet long, has 22 wheels and weighs in at around 30 tons." ))
Yeah, but the kicker is his actual apartment is only a mile away. How about getting him a shuttle to and from that apartment he's renting instead of bringing a big freaking truck near the set. The other problem I have with the trailer is why does an actor need countless assistants? Why does he need a writing staff? Is he a writer on the movie?
One has to wonder if the old humble Will Smith from the Fresh Prince day would laugh at the Will Smith of today.
...Just some footage of American and British troops gettin' it done. While you're enjoying your three-day weekend, take a minute to recognize what these folks do for us on a daily basis.
We'll be back full time tomorrow. USA! USA! USA!

WOW: Creepy Children (Demonic?)
As I was reading Cracked.com, they had a post about creepy things throws into videogames. They mentioned “The Children of Goldshire”.
The children will gather in a house and take certain positions in the room and stand there...The lighthearted music shifts to a dark tone and sometimes you will hear things. Some people hear banshee screams, while others will hear a voice say, “You will die.”
I guess the developers wanted to mess with players by adding this little gem.

Short Circuit: a look back
I re-watched this 1986 comedy recently and had some thoughts about the movie as of today. I remember watching this movie numerous times as a child.
~ Number 5 is alive.
~It is interesting that this movie is about robots being built for military purposes such as fighting in the combat field. We now have robots that do just that. Here, the robots seem a bit clunkier than the ones we use now.
~ Ally Sheedy is not that good in movie. Her acting is terrible and I didn’t notice it when I was younger. She is certainly pleasing to look at. She is very cute, but her acting is brutal here to point of being…robotic.
~ “Where see shit?”: Best line ever.
~ Steve Guttenberg pretty much plays the same character he played in the Police Academy movies, except he’s more of a nerd. He’s good here, just not original.
~The ending credit scenes are made up of deleted scenes. One has Johnny 5 messing around with pasta. Another scene has the Nova robots flying remote airplanes. Another scene had him encountering one of those real toy robots. There was an entire scene cut out with Johnny 5 messing around in a junkyard.
~ G.W. Bailey: (Skroeder:) With Bailey in the movie playing the bad guy asshole captain, he pretty much reprises his role from Police Academy. He even interacts with Guttenberg in the same manner as he does in the PA movies. He screams and uses a whistle just like Harris.
~All the robot/puppet stuff still holds up today.
~Ben Jabituya: Man, having a white guy play a brown guy is bit racist. It’s called brownface. I think the same jokes would have worked with a real Indian. Fisher Stevens is fine in the role, but looking back in hindsight it seems a bit off-putting.
~ “Nice software”
~I can see the similarities between Wall-E and Number 5.
I remember him from his Babylon 5 days playing fan favorite Zack Allen. I always liked the way he played that character on that show. His character had a past with drug abuse and the B5 crew gave him a second chance to set his life right on the right track.
In real life, it was only much later did I realize how intense of a drug user Conaway really was. Celebrity Rehab with Dr. Drew really showed how mean and downright damaged he turned out to be after being dependent on the drugs. It seems after trying to get help through normal methods, he got talked into seeking treatment through Scientology, and that didn't help either. I personally think he was wasting his time with the damn space church.
Anyway, he will be missed.

Thor
Thor isn’t the best Marvel movie of the bunch, but it knows exactly what it is and enjoys playing in this bright playground of Gods. Director Kenneth Branagh is having a good time with the fantasy aspects as well as the Shakespeare stuff involving the royal family of Asgard. Thor is a bright and sometimes witty movie that also furthers the overall Marvel Movie storyline. When Thor gets it right, the movie is very entertaining.
The Gods (or Aliens) from Asgard have been the gatekeepers of the universe to protect all the worlds from an invasion from the Frost Giants of Jotunheim. The powerful Odin keeps the Frost Giants at bay with his mighty power. However, Odin is losing power as he grows older. The arrogant Thor, one of Odin’s sons, is about to take his father’s place as ruler of the kingdom, when an attack happens within the depths of the Kingdom. After a series of events, Thor finds himself banished from the Kingdom and marooned on Earth. Thor must figure out how to get back to his homeland and save Earth in the process.
To put it simply, Chris Hemsworth is Thor. He has the swagger of a god and a warrior in the very first scene he’s in. Hemsworth actually makes Thor an arrogant, but a charming character early on. Sure Thor is looking for a fight and goes about things in the wrong manner, but he actually has reasons for going into battle with a tiny team of comrades. Hemsworth is even better as he marches around the Earth realm demanding more beer and ordering people around. He bellows every word out and laughs loudly.
I also like the appearance of Thor in this Marvel Movie Universe compared to the main comic universe version. Actually, this movie Thor looks like a cross between the Ultimate Universe Thor and the main version. He’s big and tall, but not that lumbering as some artists draw him. He’s believable.
While the chemistry between Natalie Portman and Hemsworth seems forced and stilted, I had no problem with believing in Portman’s performance as a scientist. Portman has proven over and over again that she is a good actress even when the roles aren’t completely fleshed out. I hope she shows up for another movie.
Tom Hiddleston is brilliant as the main bad guy. While I am still not certain exactly what were his full motives in the movie, I liked the villain of Loki.
Most of the fun of the movie happens with the magical planets outside the Earth realm. All of the Asgards scenes are bright and lively. I really dug what they did with those scenes. Plus, most of the action scenes within the other realms are just amazing.
The biggest problems with the movie are the script issues. The script needed a bit of punch up when it came to the Earth stuff. The transitions between the worlds weren’t even enough. While I liked seeing Thor interact with our world, but there needed to be more.
All the interconnecting with the rest of the Marvel Movie Universe is fine and better suited here than in Iron Man 2, and I could have more of it.
Thor is certainly far from being prefect, but it is certainly a fun movie that truly brings the God of Thunder to life. The Shakespeare performances are top notch and bring the otherwise weaker script to a higher level. This is one of the better films of summer.
Bring on the Avengers.
Grade: B
Agent Coulson returns in an extended role this time. I always enjoyed seeing his character in the Marvel movies. He ties the movies together with Sam Jackson.
I don't know whether I like this video or not. On one hand it's pretty clever, but on the other hand it's the biggest tease I've ever seen. If I didn't know any better I would've thought it was made by some ball-bustin' chick, but it appears to have been made by a guy. I guess because of that fact I'm gonna go thumbs-down on this one.
I hear it's all the rage over in Europe these days. The latest, greatest fast-paced sport to hit the continent since Parkour. This dude seems to have the concept down pretty well. Because, yes indeed, the best place to achieve the highest score is to sneak up on people using the crosswalk. Unless of course you wanna go for the gold and try rip-roaring down the inside of a crowded mall. Dude is the motorcycle version of Dick Weber.
I love this freakin' guy. I bet all of his students end up being doctors or lawyers or rocket scientists. Spare the rod, spoil the child I say. I went to Catholic school as a kid and the nuns were way worse than this. They'd hold your hand down and literally bust your knuckles. The thing was, they didn't have to do it very often once we all got the message. And what they got was a whole classroom full of kids that never gave 'em any shit at all. Watch out for the next generation of free Egyptians, the new world leaders.
Here's another sneak preview of finished artwork from Dark Worlds #6 coming this summer! It's going to be an exciting issue!
