FOX's newest Sci-Fi show Virtuality has gotten it's ship commanders in Nikolaj Coster-Waldau who starred as John Amsterdam in New Amsterdam as an immortal cop (liked the show). Clea DuVall will star as the co-pilot and Coster-Waldau as Captain Pike.
Couple of other guys, Erik Jensen from The Bronx is Burning and Jose Pablo Cantillo from Standoff also star in the new show. Which is created by some of the guys who wrote some of Battlestar Galactica.

Rose to Bulls, Beasley to Heat
This is kind of what was expected the Chicago Bulls pick Memphis Guard Derrick Rose as their first pick in the 2008 NBA Draft. The Miami Heat selected Kansas State Forward Micheal Beasley. Then something happened, OJ Mayo from USC went to the Minnesota T'Wolves, but was traded in the early morning (late night) to Memphis for Kevin Love (and others) in an 8 Player Deal.

Shawn Chacon suspended...
Shawn Chacon, pitcher for the Houston Astros, was suspended after being demoted to the bullpen after putting up abysmal numbers.
Why was he suspended because he grabbed his GM by the neck and tossed him to the ground after getting yelled...randomly.
I don't know what story to believe about this. It's an in house matter, and I'm sick of shit like this going on

This chick has been on NFL Television, NCAA Basketball, Rome Is Burning, NFL Live, as well as looking hot all of the time.
She may not be the hottest chick in the world, but there are things about her that are hot, such as:
- She knows a lot about sports.
- She has a nice smile, voice, and has pretty hair.
- She knows a lot about sports.
There you have it, Hot Chick O' The Week is none other than:

...God people are stupid...
Shaquille O'Neal and Don Imus are two stupid stupid people. Firstly, Shaq went to a New York Night Club and decides to free style. Yeah, I know. Shaq freestyles says "You know how I bed, Kobe couldn't do without me" a couple of times. Idiot. Locker room bedlam is a totally different story. This is a hotbed of bullshit that Shaq is opening up. Shaq is good, he's a good basketball player due to the fact that he is a gigantic asshole. He's huge. He's 7 foot + or something like that (too lazy to look it up) and he's on the Suns now. He averages something like 15.1 points a game compared to Kobe's 30 and gets about 4 more rebounds a game than Bryant. Now, I understand that we're talking about two totally different cats here. Two different players. Kobe Bryant is a play maker, he can change the course of an entire game just by getting the ball into his hands. Shaq is a big man, he gets boards, and occasionally over powers the opposition. Kobe Bryant didn't need Shaq to win those championships, but it helps. Dwayne Wade, I'm sure, would agree with that. So Shaq should just keep his bullshit to himself.
Don Imus...is probably an old Confederate Flag Waver. I mean, the guy just doesn't know when to stop. Fourteen some-odd months ago, he called Rutgers Girls Basketball Players "nappy-headed-hos" and got shitcanned for it. Now, he's back on the air and he's causing a controversy again. Whilst talking to his sports-reporter he was told about Adam "Pacman" Jones' run-in's with the law he asked "What color is he?" then when it was confirmed that he was African America he said: "There you go. Now we know."
Don Imus is an idiot.

George Carlin dead at the age of 71...
Holy crap. This is the worst "Monday" ever. George Carlin who was best known for his "Seven Words you can never say on Television" died Sunday at the age of 71. He died of heart failure at Saint John's Health Center in Santa Monica. George Carlin, who recently starred in Kevin Smith flicks Dogma and Jersey Girl was a fantastic guy. He was utterly hilarious, this is definitely saddening.

A Fuck the Heck moment if I've ever seen one...
So Mexican's like to party, they love to fiesta and eat burritos and all that jazz, but they also apparently herd up like a pack of cows, and stampede over people and kill them. That's what happened in Mexico City, where 12 people were killed when a stampede broke out when police officers raided a night club on suspicion of drugs being sold to minors.
Fuck the heck...

Breaking News: Schilling done for year...and ever?
Curt Schilling hasn't pitched since last years Post-Season and won't pitch at all this season. On a radio show, he has announced that he will have season ending surgery. This is a blow for the Red Sox, I mean, you can say that this is a blow to the Sox who haven't had the guy since 2007. They have lost Ortiz and Matsuzaka (coming back soon), Beckett hasn't performed well and they're relying on Justin Masterson and Jon Lester to pitch well in the absense of these usually solid pitchers.
For his credit, Dice-K has been pitching very well until he got hurt. The Red Sox'll be fine.

Fox returns to CSI
Apparently her departure was short, as Jorja Fox who play(s)ed Sara Sidle on the hit show CSI: Crime Scene Investigatiosn is returning to the show next season on the 3rd episode. No reason as to why she's returning, or if it'll be forever or just for a few episodes.

Celtics beat Lakers to win the NBA Championship...
The Celtics were, at one point, up by 30 points, out playing the Lakers on basically every level. Boston literally lit the Lakers ablaze Tuesday night, the final score was 131-92. Garnett, Rondo, and Allen each had 20+ points, as well as the bench which score 39 points. The real troubling thing here, other than the fact that the final score was 131-92(! that's 39 points!) is that Pau Gasol and and Lamar Odom combined for only 25 points...Bryant only had 22 points in the game.

JD's Review of "The Middleman"
Holy Crap, I have found my new favorite show. The Middleman which is based on the comic's by Javier Grillo-marxuach, has been turned into a show for ABC Family starring Matt Keeslar and Natalie Morales. Basically it's got some of the funniest dialogue I've heard in a very, very long time. And it kept me hooked the whole show. It reminded me of Gilmore Girls minus the girls plus the quick dialogue and cheesy humor.
It's about The Middleman (Keeslar) who is an ex-navy seal who fights evil. Such as Apes who have been programed to take over the world or (next week) a dirt monster...where he says "Oh, Grapes of Wrath!" it's that kind of cheesy humor that you have to love. The Middleman shows up at Wendy Watson's temp-job at a Science lab when a monster made of human body parts busts through the glass windows behind her. She doesn't panic, which is what impresses the Middleman. Therefore he offers her a job. He also calls her "Dubby," it's a fantastic show which is Greeks fill in til fall.

Metropolitans axe Randolph; Manuel steps in
Say what you will about The Mets, the greatest disappointment for New York in the last couple of years. They have been on the outs since early on this season which writers/fans/assholes (like me!) speculated would lead to the end of Willie Randolph's Managerial career with the Metropolitans.
Well, it has. Willie Randolph has gotten the proverbial axe, he has bit the bullet and swallowed. Jerry Manuel steps in to take his place (temporarily).
I have something to say about this, because I am not as much of an asshole as you think I am. I never said that Willie Randolp should get fired. I said that he will get fired, because the Metropolitans needed to do something Omar Minaya went out and got permission from the Owners to fire his Skipper, and he did just that. Willie Randolph isn't at fault her, other that opening his mouth so shit can fall out onto the ground, he's done nothing wrong. His team stinks. They're playing like a big band of misfits. Wagner blowing saves? WAGNER BLOWING SAVES?! Carlos Delgado hitting .200? Beltran hitting somewhere like .230? I mean, you can't have your fucking ALL-STARS hitting those numbers and not do anything about it.

How can you lose!?
Talk about the greatest comeback in history, the Lakers were up by 24 points last night and the Celtics came back to win by 6. I don't want to question Phil Jackson's motives, I don't, but why the fuck wasn't Lamar Odom on the court...not to mention Derek Fisher...?

Lakers beat Celtics ...series at 2-1
The Lakers came out strong on Tuesday night behind a great effort by Kobe Bryant. On a night where Paul Pierce and Kevin Garnett were unproductive for the Celtics, and Pau Gasol and Lamar Odom were unaffective for the Lakers, Ray Allen and Kobe Bryant lit up the NBA Finals game three.
Kobe Bryant couldn't shoot a free throw to save his life last night, but had 36 points/7 Rebounds. Ray Allen hit 5 threes and had 25 points.
The real story is Sasha Vujacic who came off the bench to score 20 points hitting 3 of 5 3 pointers

Junior hits 600.
It's been shadowed by Jay Bruce, it hasn't been flaunted at all by anyone, but it means a whole hell of a lot. It shows that if Ken Griffey Jr could've stayed healthy those years where he was injured for games upon games, he would've hit 700+ HRs. As it stands, Junior is at 600 HRs, I don't think he's finished, but I don't believe he'll hit 700. That's probably four years at 25 a year at least. Ken Griffey Jr has always been one of my favorite players, I've respected the fact that he persevered through the bullshit that has overshadowed every other major league slugger (who hits HRs like singles). Griffey is a Hall of Famer, he joins only five other players who have hit 600 HRs (and beyond):
Barold Bonds, Henry Aaron, Babe Ruth, Willie Mays and Sammy Sosa have hit 600 HRs in their careers. Bonds holds the tainted record...at the moment.

Hot Chick O' The Week
AnnaLynne McCord, who was recently on Nip/Tuck playing Eden (daughter of Julia's lesbian love Portia de Rossi). She just inked a deal to star as Naomi Bennet (that's Imoan backwards) in the 90210 pilot, which is a spin off of Beverly Hills 90210 the greatest show ever made...ever. Pictures honestly do not do her justice, but she was amazing on Nip/Tuck and just gorgeous. I'm eager to see her as another snotty rich teen.
Ex-QB Stabler arrested...
Ken Stabler former quarter back for the Oakland Raiders, Houston Oilers, and New Orleans Saints has been arrested on DUI charges. He posted $1,000 bond and was released

Chipper Jones: All-Star.
Color me obsessed, but I think Chipper Jones is having the best year of any baseball player this year period. Just look at his numbers on the year:
Chipper Jones ATL 56 Games 213 ABs 43 Runs 89 Hits 11 Doubles 0 triples 14 HRs 39 RBIs
35 Walks 22 K's (!) 1 Stolen Base 0 Caught Stealing .418 Batting Average .498 On Base .667 Slugging 1.165 OBS
Don't know what this means? I will explain it to you. In 56 games this season Chipper Jones has had 213 at bats, has 89 hits in those 213 ABs (14 HRs, 11 Doubles) has 39 Runs Batted In, has 35 Walks as opposed to 22 punch outs. Take into consideration that he has the most hits in Major League Baseball (5 more than Lance Berkman, and 8 more than the Rangers' Josh Hamilton at 81), so there is not much of a need to walk and/or strike out. His batting average is tops in the Majors as well. No one even comes close, Berkman is batting .382, and Pujols is batting .362. His on base percentage or OBP is highest (also) in Major League Baseball at .498, which means, he gets on base more often than not. Lance Berkman is close with .465. Chip's Slugging is 2nd only to Berkman who is slugging an immeasurable .732 (he's also got 17 HRs) Jones' SLG is .667. Chip's OPS is 1.165 2nd to Berkman's 1.197. This takes your Slugging and On Base Percentage and combines them to get this total. OBS stands for On-Base plus Slugging.
If the Braves make the playoffs and Chipper Jones is not the MVP, I will kill EVERYONE.
I'm not kidding.

Celtics go up 1-0
I actually watched this entire game tonight, it was a great game, really close til the end. The Celtics closed it out 98-88, Kobe Bryant wasn't off his game, but he certainly wasn't on his game. I was waiting for this huge fucking explosion of Kobe Bryant tonight, and it didn't really happen. Bryant finished with 24-points, Pau Gasol with 15. Of the Celtics; Garnett finished with 24, and Ray Allen finished with 19.
Good game, I'm looking forward to Sunday night.

New Header + Red Wings Win the Stanley Cup
Lord Stanley likes a good fight, and that's what the Penguins gave. They fought to the very end and gave it their all. Unfortunately it wound up being a little less than what the Redwings gave, and they lost Game 6 of the Stanley Cup playoffs 3-2.
Also, I created a new Header for the Blog, which I think Rocks.
I also created a new blog for the new Show called "Private Radio" it's here.

Hot Chick O' The Week! (Week #2)
Showtime takes "Tara" to series.
This is only news because Diablo Cody is the person behind it. Cody recently wrote Juno and has won praise for said flick. Right now she's got a horror flick coming out called Jennifer's Body which stars uber-hot Megan Fox. The United States of Tara will star John Corbett and Toni Collette. I have no idea what the series is about, but it's helmed by Craig Gillispie who recently got mild praise for Lars and the Real Girl.

1. Jones, C. Braves 708,515
2. Wright, D. Mets 461,330
He's beating Wright by over 247,000 votes, I think he's good

We will NOT have a female President...Obama gets the nod.
That's a capital NOT, because it was NOT going to happen. I've been saying this for months, that Hillary Clinton could not win, and she did not win. Obama has secured the Democratic Nomination by securing the Super Delegates in the final primaries in Montana and South Dakota. I hate to say I told you so, but I fucking told you so. Obama may or may not win the Presidency, but I will be voting for him regardless. It's time that the rest of the United States woke up, ceased their ignorance, and picked the right person for the job, and that person is Barack Obama.
He can't get the Joba done...
Joba Chamberlain made his first Major League start last night against the Toronto Blue Jays, he didn't last long, only 2 and a 1/3, and gave up only 1 hit, 4 walks, struck out 3, and gave up 1 Earned Run. In these 2 and a 1/3 he seemed to use his overbearing stuff at an alarming rate. He threw 62 pitches through in the 2.1 IP, only 32 of them for strikes.
When Joba Chamberlain comes into the game from the bullpen he seems like he's on fire. He seemed nervous, very nervous. Maybe if they would've let him throw a 100 pitches he would've settled down and struck out a few more, and maybe he would've lasted a couple more innings. He was wild, his fastball did reach 95, but they were all over the place, literally.
Chamberlain will be fine. This is his first start, don't dump him just yet. Not to mention he was going against Doc Halladay.
