Lisa Blount Dies

Lisa Blount Dies



Lisa Blount, an Arkansas-born Academy Award-winning producer and actress, was found dead in her Little Rock home Wednesday by her mother. She was 53.
There were no signs of foul play, and Blount appeared to have died on Monday, Pulaski County Coroner Garland Camper told the Arkansas Democrat Gazette. The paper also reports that Blount's husband, actor and director Ray McKinnon, was out of town this week.
Blount was nominated for a Golden Globe for playing Debra Winger's friend, Lynette Pomeroy, in 1982's An Officer and a Gentleman. In 2001, the live-action short film she produced, The Accountant won an Oscar.
Her other acting roles included those in Great Balls of Fire, with Dennis Quaid as Jerry Lee Lewis, and Chrystal, with Billy Bob Thornton.

denard robinson

denard robinson


A week ago after rushing for 197 yards against the Connecticut Huskies, QB Denard Robinson outdid himself in the Michigan Wolverines' 28-24 come-from-behind win at Notre Dame. His numbers against the Fighting Irish were staggering.
• 502 total yards against Notre Dame, a single-game school record.
• Ninth QB in NCAA history to rush (258) and pass (244) for 200+ yards in a game, and the first since West Virginia's Pat White in 2006.
• Set a Big Ten record for rushing yards in game by QB.
• Longest rush TD in Notre Dame Stadium history (87 yards).
• His 258 rushing yards are a single-game school record for a QB, and the fifth-highest single-game total in Michigan history.
Robinson now has 455 rushing yards this season. Last year, Michigan's leading rusher was Brandon Minor with 502 yards.
Slump-tember for ACC
The Atlantic Coast Conference had five teams ranked in the preseason Top 20 for the first time in conference history. The North Carolina Tar Heels dropped out following their 30-24 loss to LSU. Virginia Tech dropped from 10th to 13th following their 33-30 loss to Boise State on Monday
A hangover perhaps for the Hokies, who lost for the second time in six days -- to FCS James Madison, 21-16. The Hokies are the first ranked FBS school to lose to an FCS program since 2007 when Appalachian State won at No. 5 Michigan.
Things only got worse on Saturday for the ACC.
The Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets lost at Kansas (which lost to FCS school North Dakota State last week).
The Florida State Seminoles lost 47-17 at Oklahoma, matching their third-worst loss since joining the ACC in 1991. (Utah State went into Norman and lost by just seven points a week ago.)
The Miami Hurricanes went to Ohio State and trailed by as many as 19 points in a 36-24 defeat. The Hurricanes have now lost eight straight road games against the AP Top two teams.

two moons on august 27

two moons on august 27

If you're waiting and hoping to see two moons in the sky tonight, you'll be disappointed to hear that talk of two moons on August 27, 2010 is a hoax. "It's totally made up," Canadian astronomer David Lane told CBC News. "It's actually a lousy time to look at Mars."
The rumor was perpetuated by an email chain that starts its message in all caps:
"SEE MARS AS LARGE AS THE FULL MOON ON 27TH AUGUST 2010 Should be spectacular! Truly a once in a lifetime experience!"
EarthSky fact-checked the message and found it had no grounding whatsoever:
In fact, in August of 2010 Mars appears as modestly bright star in the western evening sky. Mars was substantially brighter earlier this year, shining most brilliantly when this world came closest to Earth for the year on January 27, 2010.
The Mars moon hoax has been around since at least 2007. If Mars was close enough to look like the moon, experts say water tides would be affected and tracts of land would submerge.

Bross beats Larson for all-around title: Refusing to fall or falter, Rebecca Bross powered through another impressive performance Saturday, winning the national title in a runaway over Mattie Larson in Hartford, Conn.

Bross went through finals without a fall, making her 8 for 8 for the two-day meet and answering one of the few questions left about her: Could she close out a major meet, after letting leads at last year's nationals and worlds slip?
The answer was a resounding yes.

Saudi to Test Giant Clock in Mecca During Ramadan

Saudi to Test Giant Clock in Mecca During Ramadan

Saudi Arabia will test what it is billing as the world's largest clock in the holy city of Mecca during the Muslim fasting month of Ramadan, the official news agency reported Tuesday.
The four-faced clock tower will top a massive skyscraper that when completed will be around 1,970 feet (600 meters) tall, the second tallest in the world after Dubai's Burj Khalifa.
The clock will dwarf London's Big Ben, once the largest four-faced clock in the world, with dials more than five times greater in area.
The around 130 foot (40 meter) diameter Saudi clock dials are also bigger than the current world champion at the Cevahir Mall clock in Istanbul, which has a 36 meter face set in the transparent roof of the shopping complex.The complex overlooks Mecca's famed Grand Mosque, which Muslims worldwide face during their five daily prayers and is part of Saudi efforts to develop the city visited by millions of pilgrims every year.

milwaukee airport

milwaukee airport


Milwaukee's General Mitchell International remained closed to flights through noon CT today after a deluge of rain left some of the airport's runways under standing water. More than a half foot of rain fell in the Milwaukee area on Thursday, causing widespread flooding throughout the city.
On its website, the airport tied the closure to "flooding on the airfield and roadways leading to the airport," according to Reuters. The airport advised "travelers should contact their airlines before heading to the airport to determine the status of their flights and make alternative arrangements if needed."

VIDEO: Airport flooding, people stranded (Milwaukee Journal Sentinel)


AirTran, one of the top carriers in Milwaukee, issued a flexible travel policy this morning for customers affected by floods and disrupted flight schedules.
The carrier says passengers schedule for travel to, from or through Milwaukee today "may change their reservation without penalty as long as travel is completed within five days from the date of the original scheduled departure date, based on space availability, without fees or fare adjustments."
The Associated Press says the airport first "closed around 9:30 p.m. [CT] when floodwaters began covering parts of the runways, airport spokeswoman Pat Rowe said. At one point, flooding also blocked outdoor ticketing and baggage claim areas."
Additionally, AP says "air traffic controllers were evacuated from their tower because of a tornado warning earlier in the evening. They were allowed back about an hour later, and a few planes were allowed to land and take off before flooding forced officials to close the airport, [Rowe] said. The airport remained closed Friday morning."
On the possibility of resuming flights, Milwaukee's FOX 6 TV reports "the airport will remain closed until at least noon [CT] when airport administration will re-evaluate the situation."

yahoo down


A number of people trying to use Yahoo this morning were disappointed and reported that Yahoo was down, including their Yahoo E-Mail accounts. At this time, Yahoo has not addressed the issue, but users are reporting they are finally able to access their accounts.
Is Yahoo having difficulty with their DNS servers?
This isn’t the first time that Yahoo has been down, and undoubtedly it won’t be the last. If you go to Yahoo.com, the site will open and you may access your Yahoo Mai account.
It is unclear how widespread the outage was, where the site was down, and if it extended beyond the United States into other countries.
If you are having difficulty accessing Yahoo, be sure to clear your computer cache before trying the site again.

lindsay lohan fingernail

Lindsay Lohan at her L.A. Superior Court appearance July 6, 2010. (Associated Press)
Lindsay Lohan may have come with a message for the Los Angeles Superior Court when she appeared for her probation revocation hearing on Tuesday, and it could spell more jail time on top of her three-month sentence.
Lohan, who was sentenced to 90 days in prison and 90 days in an in-patient rehabilitation facility for violating the terms of her probation, appeared in court with the words “f**k u” printed on her middle fingernail.
And according to one expert, this could spell serious trouble for her sentencing, which was already triple the amount that the prosecution requested.

(Lindsay Lohan at her L.A. Superior Court appearance July 6, 2010. (Reuters)
FOX411.com reviewed photos from three separate photo agencies -- Thompson Reuters, Associated Press and Getty -- all of which appeared to display the words on her middle left-hand fingernail.
A Thompson Reuters rep told FOX411.com in a statement that “the images of Lindsay Lohan published yesterday by Reuters were not altered beyond the normal bit of toning to correct color balance and contrast.”
If indeed the photos are legitimate and unaltered and aimed toward the courts, "it would be a separate charge for contempt,” says New York City Public Defender Stacy Schneider. “She could have an entire extra sentence heaped on top of her current one. If the judge were angry enough, it could run even consecutively.”
Los Angeles Public Defender Greg Apt echoed Schneider's sentiments, calling Lohan's fingernails a "creative" way to land in contempt of court.
"The judge could hold her in direct contempt, which could be between three to five days in jail for vulgarity," if the judge deemed the words were aimed at the court, Apt said.
At the very least, the photos raise questions about Lohan’s sincerity and remorse for missing court-mandated alcohol education classes, for which she tearfully apologized Tuesday.
“I did the best I could,” Lohan, 24, told Revel, before sobbing at her sentencing. "I did do everything I was told to do and did the best I could to balance jobs and showing up. It wasn't vacation, it wasn't some sort of a joke."
But before Revel was likely even aware of Lohan’s fingernail message to the court, she said Lohan’s apology was insincere, comparing it to "somebody who cheats and thinks it isn't cheating if she doesn't get caught."
Still, in spite of the gravity of the situation, Lohan appeared calm and collected when she arrived at the hearing. Why? Sources close to Lohan told Fox411.com’s Pop Tarts column that she never expected to get more than a slap on the wrist. And, according to Schneider, while it’s unclear whether the message on her nails was meant for the judge, the mere fact that she would not remove it before a high profile appearance is “the most outrageous thing” she could have done.
Attempts to reach a rep for Lohan were unsuccessful.
Schneider also slammed Lohan’s lawyer, Shawn Chapman Holley, for failing to prevent her client from entering the courtroom with the profane message.
"It's up to her lawyer to catch things like that,” she said. “A bra strap that shows or a boxer line that shows is pretty bad, but this tops the cake."
Calls to Lohan's lawyers were not immediately returned.
Regardless of her actions, it looks like Lohan will be going to jail. She is required to surrender July 20, when she will begin serving her time. Just how long she will spend behind bars remains to be seen.

Both Amelia and Meghan McCain loved the demonic horror flick “Paranormal Activity,” but I was like, “Bitches, please! Go change your diapers.” Unfortunately, “Paranormal Activity 2” doesn’t look any scarier — but it plays the baby-in-distress card. That’s low, Hollywood. That’s low.

Haven't you heard that overused phrase, "people change?"

Well that's exactly the case with former lovey-dovey couples Jake Pavelka and Vienna Girardi, who are headed for heartbreak hotel. Tissue please!

The star pair, who were just engaged, suddenly took a 360 degree turn towards seperate paths. And to think that they were sugary sweet a couple of weeks ago with plans on that grand event that comes only once in a lifetime. For others, several. Sorry, am I ruining the mood?

So here we go with Vienna brewing up ideas like having the ceremony on a beach or island, or even Disneyland! And the motif would be everyone wearing Mickey Mouse ears. But all that's history. Ouch.

It's still unclear as to what led to the seperation, but let's give them the privacy.

Guys, bury the hatchet and kiss and make up. Okay, okay, I gave it a shot! For more information regarding this circus of love publicity, please click here.

steve driver movies

steve driver movies 
Stephen Clancy Hill, the porn star who was know as "Steven Driver" in his porno movies has reportedly been killed in a police standoff after being on the run for the last few days.
On June 2nd, Hill had alledgedly used a porn prop to kill one man and injure two others after attending a get together that was held at the Ultima DVD Inc.'s distribution and production center where Hill worked. Unfortunately, Hill had been asked to leave by Wednesday (the day of the get together).
According to http://www.huffingtonpost.com, "[Steven] Hill appeared in films under the name Steve Driver. The Internet Adult Film Database lists 13 credits for him, including films for Ultima and other companies."
Los Angeles police Detective Joel Price said, "There was no indication that things were going to get violent, there was nothing that provoked this attack, but at some point Steven chose to arm himself with what can be best described as a sword. He then used that sword against those three victims."
Now reports are out that Hill has died after a standoff with the SWAT team. After eight hours of negotiations with Hill threatening suicide and eventually jumped to his death from a cliff.
This is a truly tragic end to a tragic life. I hope Hill finds peace where ever he is... but let's remember he did kill someone so I'm not sure how peaceful he is right now.

Cyclone Phet lashes Pakistani coast




Heavy rainfall  and strong windsupto 120 kmph continued to lash the southwestern coast of Pakistan early Sunday as Cyclone Phet approached landfall.
Throughout the weekend, the Pakistani navy dispatched helicopters to alert fishermen near Karachi and parts of Balochistan to the expected arrival of Phet.
Pakistani authorities rescued about 1,000 people from Gwadar and took them to a navy shelter Saturday after the storm damaged their mud houses.
On Saturday, officials safely brought 24 fishing boats and 129 fishermen back to shore, the Associated Press of Pakistan said.
The navy remained on high alert Sunday, should they be needed in the aftermath of the cyclone.
Civilians along Pakistan's coast will receive priority in the relief effort, dubbed "Operation Madad," said Pakistani Chief of Naval Staff Adm. Nauman Bashir.
On Friday, Phet dumped up to 25 centimeters (10 inches) of rain on coastal Oman. It brought massive flooding to Muscat and whipped the capital with winds gusting above 200 kph (125 mph) at the height of the storm.

turkey israel

turkey israel

The National Security Council Counter-Terrorism Bureau (NSCCTB) issued a severe travel warning to Israelis in Turkey, and urged Israelis to keep from traveling there.
"In response to the events surrounding the protest flotilla, there are growing protests by the government and public in Turkey. This delicate state of affairs is liable to deteriorate into violent outbreaks against Israelis in Turkey," the warning said
The move came as a response to unrest in Turkey, where protesters had tried to storm the Israeli Consulate in Istanbul over an IDF raid on the “Free Gaza”ships in international waters earlier in the day which left at least 15 activists dead.
"Israelis due to leave for Turkey should – at this stage – refrain from traveling until the situation becomes clear," the statement added.
"Israelis currently in Turkey should remain in their places of residence, avoid city centers and sites in which demonstrations are being held, and monitor developments out of concern that the situation could worsen."

Delonte West – Gloria James: The wing LeBron James was twice named MVP of regular season and has several proposals out of the Cleveland Cavaliers, eliminated from the NBA on Thursday. Technically, it is clear why he can not continue in its current franchise next season. However, a joke has run forums and social networks realizing that the athlete could not stay on the team for personal reasons.
According to rumors, Delonte West, a colleague of LeBron in Cavs, was sleeping with his mother, Gloria James, and this would be the main reason for leaving. More even than the harassment coming from the New York Knicks, one of the major stakeholders in the hiring of the star, who becomes a free agent in July.

katherine heigl wardrobe mishap video

katherine heigl wardrobe mishap video


Katherine Heigl had her very first wardrobe malfunction at the ShoWest convention in Las Vegas on Thursday where she was receiving the Female Star of the Year Award. A dark, brunette version of Heigl was wearing a gorgeous red dress when the shoulder strap suddenly popped over her left-shoulder. Luckily she was able to catch it and hold on as she gave her acceptance speech.
In an interview in the video below, Heigl explain how having recently had a baby, it seems like everything is more work now. She says that she was just happy she made it to the award ceremony fully dressed to begin with!
I have to say she definitely handled the little mishap in the best way possible. She's been classy talking about it since and will definitely know enough to make sure her straps are secure for the next event she goes to!

katrina hodge

katrina hodge

Who says you can't shoot a gun and wear heels? just let us know.....

Here is Miss England, Katrina Hodge, who is also a British soldier, may not be doing both simultaneously, but she sure knows how to conquer the battlefield and rock a pageant runway.

Also known as "Lance Corporal Katrina Hodge," she has represented England at the 2009 Miss World championship in South Africa and is face of the lingerie company La Senza as the Face of our Armed Forces campaign.

Hodge, 22, is redefining beauty and helping to change Miss England's platform for judging its contestants. For the first time in many years, Miss England won't have a swimwear round this year.

Although she looks great in a swimsuit, she tells Britain's Telegraph that the swimsuit portion of the competition is not always fair.

"I think it's nerve-racking enough for girls to get up on a stage and speak, let alone appear in a swimsuit," Hodge told Britain's Telegraph.

Given the moniker, "Combat Barbie" by her fellow Army comrades," Hodge is thrilled that the contestants will be given the chance to show off their athletic abilities in this year's competition.

"It's good the girls are being given a sports challenge in this year's competition," she added.

Miss England pageant officials are on board with the change.

"We have found that our yearly winner of Miss England hardly ever has to appear in swimwear for public events and its an unessary section of the competition," Angie Beasley, director of Miss England Limited told CBS News. "We also feel its a good way of bringing the pageant up to date, as the swimwear round often put contestants off from entering."

The British beauty was drawn to serving her country at a young age. She left school at 16 and joined the Army. She went on to be one of only ten women in the Royal Anglians to be posted to Iraq for seven months at the age of 18.

Hodge doesn't play around when she's defending her her country and her Army buddies. While in Iraq, she won a commendation for disarming and detaining a suspected rebel fighter with her bare hands.

"Katrina is a realistic role model and wanted to show she can break the mold by being a soldier and a beauty queen," Beasley said.  


jesse james nazi photo

jesse james nazi photo

Many Days after TMZ obtained photos of James' alleged mistress Michelle "Bombshell" McGee decked out in Nazi armband, hat and little else, the site now claims that they have seen an image of James doing his own horrifying tribute to Hitler chic. In the image, which TMZ says was shot two years ago, James is wearing a Nazi hat, has his right hand held high in the "Heil Hitler pose" and put his left hand under his nose mimicking a Hitler mustache.


It's more classy news coming from the Monster Garage star a week after McGee, a tattoo fetish model and stripper, claimed to have had an 11-month affair with James while his wife, Sandra Bullock, was busy filming an Oscar-winning role in "The Blind Side."

James is also reportedly facing a new battle with his ex-wife, former porn-star Janine Lindemulder, over custody of their daughter. James and Bullock have had custody over the child since Lindemulder was sent to jail for cheating the IRS.

Lindemulder, like the "Bombshell," is tattooed from head to toe, a stark contrast to Bullock.

According to People, Bullock moved out of the California house she shares with James shortly after taking home her Oscar for Best Actress and sometime before McGee went public with her affair story to In Touch Weekly.

laura hall

laura hall 
  Laura Hall was like any other college student. She was living in Austin, Texas, whre she attended the University of Texas, dating the guy of her dreams, business student Colton Pitonyak, and planning to go to law school.
But on the morning of Aug. 17, 2005, Hall entered into a nightmare when she found a young woman’s dead body in the bathtub in Pitonyak's apartment. It was 21-year-old Jennifer Cave, a friend of Pitonyak's.

Within days of the murder, authorities nabbed Pitonyak and Hall in Mexico. But while Hall claimed that she went to Mexico against her will, police believed she was helping Pitonyak escape and charged her with hindering apprehension. Even worse, Cave's body had been severely mutilated, stabbed dozens of times and dismembered. At his trial, Pitonyak stunned everyone when he testified that it was, in fact, Hall who dismembered her.

Hall's counsel denied her involvement, claiming any of her questionable behavior stemmed from her love and fear of Pitonyak, but the prosecution painted a picture of a jealous girlfriend who ruthlessly took control of a situation to protect her boyfriend.

The jury found her guilty of tampering with the body and hindering Colton'ss apprehension. She was sentenced to five years in prison.

But in February 2009, the unexpected happened.

Laura Hall was released from prison when a court ruled that her sentencing hearing was unfair. After serving just 17 months, Hall went home while prosecutors fought to put her back in prison. Her conviction still stands, but how much time she will serve has yet to be determined.

predators

predators

The South by Southwest Film Festival officially launched on Friday night with the premiere of “Kick Ass,” a vibrant take on the superhero movie genre, but ultimately a local hero stole the show: Famous Austin-based filmmaker Robert Rodriguez showed up at the Alamo Drafthouse to reveal scenes from Fox’s upcoming “Predator” remake — aptly titled “Predators” — for which he served as a producer.
While director Nimrod Antal (”Vacancy”) also showed up to field audience questions about the production, Rodriguez made it clear that he had a lengthy history with it. Speaking to a crowded room that included die-hard “Predator” fans who had waited in line for hours to attend the sneak peek, he laid out the details: The “Desperado” director initially wrote a draft for a third entry in the “Predator” franchise in the mid-1990s, with the intention of including Arnold Schwarzenegger in a story set on another planet. When Schwarzenegger dropped out, the project went into limbo — until last year, when Fox contacted Rodriguez about resurrecting the project. While he passed on directorial responsibilities due to other obligations, Rodriguez suggested that his Austin-based Troublemaker Studios produce it. With Antal onboard, the new “Predators” finally came together hundreds of miles from Hollywood. “The coolest thing was to walk out of my office and see ‘Predators’ in Austin,” Rodriguez said.
In addition to discussing the project, which Fox plans to release on July 9, Rodriguez and Antal revealed a trailer, one fleeting scene and varied concept art used to flesh out the Predator’s home planet. While the sci-fi details looked extensive, the trailer — which Rodriguez expected to go public in a few weeks to accompany the release of “Repo Men” –  basically showcased the non-stop action.  As a series of humans evade the unstoppable Predators on their own turf, a series of title cards underscore the drama: “They’re the most dangerous killers on the planet. But this isn’t their planet,” we’re told. The leader of the bunch, played by a grave-looking Adrien Brody, concludes, “This planet is a game preserve. We’re the game.” And…scene! (The teaser is available for viewing on the official “Predators” Web site.)
The duo also screened a sequence allegedly taken straight from the edit room in which Lawrence Fishburne confronts Brody and his fellow soldiers in the jungle and reveals himself as “the one that got away” — meaning the only human survivor on the planet. But enough about humans; special effects wizard Greg Nicotero, a veteran of the 1987 “Predator,” was also on hand to discuss the handcrafted effects in the film (none of the Predators appear as CGI). Rodriguez lifted a veil on the stage, revealing the original Predator head, a mechanical construction that could be animated by remote control. Crowds flocked to the front of the room for an up-close glimpse of the creature’s multilayered jaws, while concept art for the new Predators played on a loop on the big screen. The artwork revealed a sleeker take on the Predator design, reflecting Antal’s decision to move from the “eight track Predator to the iPod predator,” as Nicotero described it.
But while the Predators have evolved, the violence remains intact. Antal and Rodriguez said they always intended for “Predators” to have an “R” rating, acknowledging that hardcore fans disapproved of “Alien Vs. Predator” and its sequel for softening the battles for PG-13 standards. Mainly, Antal said, they wanted to return the vibe of the first movie. “We both realized that sticking to the original and building off that was the best approach,” he said.

 Landon Milbourne often wildly waves his arms and screams while defending an inbounds pass, instilling fear and urgency into the inbounder.
The role is paramount in Maryland's full-court pressure defense, and Milbourne effectively filled his duties during the second half of the Terrapins' 69-64 loss to the Yellow Jackets in the ACC quarterfinals on Friday night.
Maryland cut a 16-point halftime deficit to two points, and did so with a press that helped force 16 of Georgia Tech's 25 turnovers in the second half. The Yellow Jackets entered the game averaging 16.1 turnovers per game.
"That's probably the best it's worked all year," Milbourne said. "Especially in a critical time like tonight. We needed it. It really helped us get back into the game."
Georgia Tech forward Zachery Peacock said the Yellow Jackets were rushing and that they felt pressure because their "season was on the line." When the big halftime lead started to dissipate, their players became nervous before starting to figure out how to take the ball past half court. Georgia Tech guard Iman Shumpert called Maryland's defense "nothing special," labeling it little more than an aggressive trap. However, it clearly affected the Yellow Jackets' decision-making and ability to enter into a set offense.
"They got us sped up, making rush decisions," Georgia Tech forward Gani Lawal said. "We didn't take the time pass faking, really attacking, dribble through it."
Five of the Yellow Jackets' turnovers came in the first three minutes in the second half, when Maryland first introduced the press. Both Milbourne and guard Greivis Vasquez had five steals, and Sean Mosley accounted for four. Four of Milbourne's steals and all of Mosley's steals came in the second half, when Maryland entered the press. Mosley observed Georgia Tech appearing tentative with their decision-making and struggling to make the correct pass.
Milbourne is the one designated with the most responsibility in the defense. He's relied upon to defend the inbounder and trap whoever receives the ball.
It is a position well suited for Milbourne, according to Terrapins forward Jordan Williams, because "he's very athletic, jumps high, gets in the way, and is always yelling." He added that Milbourne becomes "intimidating" when he assumes the role.
"Try to distract him, try to move my hands as fast as I could, and when he passes the ball inbound, try to get a good trap and make him turn the ball over," Milbourne said of his role. "Our press worked pretty well. We got a lot of turnovers out of it. It definitely helped us get back in the game." 
Maryland Coach Gary Williams said the difference in the second half was the team's effort more than any buttons he pressed. Mosley said that the press only works if the team is "flying around," and that was the byproduct of starting the second half with intensity that was lacking in the first half.
"We are down 16; what are you guys going to do?" Mosley said Williams told the team at halftime. The defense worked enough to induce a dramatic final minute, which was its purpose after halftime.
"We knew we had to cut the lead down," Mosley said, "but we just couldn't get over the hump."

"Dreamgirls" the music is getting a humorous send-up by "Dreamboy" the fan.
Aspiring actor and performer Israel Cortez is very happy and excited by the huge reaction to his YouTube tour-de-farce rendition of "It's All Over," the ensemble number from "Dreamgirls" leading into the show's most popular song, "And I Am Telling You I'm Not Going" performed by Effie White, the overweight singer being kicked out of the Dreams, the girl group she fronted.
Dreamgirls The 24-year-old La Palma, Calif., resident plays along with the film soundtrack as he switches identities, portraying the group's manager Curtis (Jamie Foxx), songwriter C.C. (Keith Robinson)  and the Dreams (Beyoncé Knowles, Anika Noni Rose and Sharon Leal) in their confrontation with the defiant Effie (Jennifer Hudson). We're giving you a link to the video rather than embedding it because the song contains some colorful language that may offend some adults and is not suitable for children.
Cortez's Effie wears a yellow headdress and a striped wrap. He dons a long white towel as a substitute for the long hair of Deena (Knowles).
His lip-syncing is precise, and Cortez displays no shortage of neck-twisting diva 'tude in channeling the strong-willed female characters.
"I'm a huge fan of the movie," said Cortez, who juggles auditions for cabarets and theater productions with two jobs as a restaurant server and a department store cashier. "The emotion of that scene is rough, but I wanted to make it funny."
He added, "Everybody covers 'And I Am Telling You,' so I wanted to do something out of the norm." He made the video about two months ago in his bedroom, filming each character individually. The entire process took about eight hours.
Dreamgirls musical While he has done other videos, including a tribute to Lady Gaga and a version of "Defying Gravity" from "Wicked," "It's All Over" has gotten the most attention from Web fans. "I'm really happy about it," Cortez said.
He also has a sense of synergy. The national tour of "Dreamgirls" is currently playing at the Ahmanson Theatre in Los Angeles. "I've never seen the stage version," Cortez says. "I'm really hoping to get out there and see it."
One of the key lines in "It's All Over" is "Effie, we all have pain." Culture Monster certainly has pain -- in our sides from laughing so hard at Cortez's homage to "Dreamgirls."

Reimold's first test

 Reimold's first test

Nolan Reimold made his first exhibition appearance of the spring today and was immediately tested by Evan Longoria, who hit a fly ball deep into the gap in left center field. Reimold could not get there in time, but got close enough that it's fair to speculate that he might have if he was completely healthy.
No big deal. That's what spring training is for. He's still got a month to work the remaining soreness out of his heel.
Chris Tillman gave up hits to two of the first three Rays batters he faced in the first inning. Leadoff man Sean Rodriguez singled and scored on Longoria's one-out RBI double.

16 and pregnant chelsea

16 and pregnant chelsea



Based on the show’s title alone, you know the basics about last night’s episode of 16 and Pregnant. What the title doesn’t tell you is that the teen moms on the show can sometimes defy preconceived notions and make really good decisions. Case and point: Chelsea.
Here’s the backstory (and first half of the episode): Adam is Chelsea’s boyfriend and the father of her child. Chelsea’s dad does not like Adam because he’s disrespectful, unreliable, and speaks condescendingly to his daughter (and, you know, knocked her up…). But after a private chat in the kitchen, Chelsea’s dad is reasonably convinced the teen father will be reliable after the baby is born. Yeah, he was wrong.
Immediately following the birth of the couple’s premature daughter, Aubree, Adam seems to be on a noble path. He even asks that the baby be given his last name. It soon becomes obvious that his pro-active approach is short-lived, however. The morning after Chelsea’s release from the hospital, she’s eager to go see her still-hospitalized daughter. Adam has other ideas: sleep. It’s downhill after that.
He seems more interested in pulling all-nighters standing under the hood of his car when he could spend the night standing over his daughter’s crib. At one point, Chelsea mentions that Adam hasn’t seen their daughter in three weeks. When she tries to confront him about it, he tells her to ‘’stop being annoying.” Poor Chelsea falls into a bit of a depression, but doesn’t let it get in the way of caring for Aubree. Still, her concerned friends and father encourage her to move on.
Determined to get a slice of her life back, Chelsea went to her high school’s Homecoming football game, but came home early because she missed Aubree. After learning she went out, Adam texted Chelsea some of the most hateful messages I’d ever seen (one is quoted below). He insulted Chelsea’s skills as a mom, called their daughter ”a mistake,” and talked about her stretch marks — yea, he went there.
Chelsea called her father in tears and begged him to come home, which he did. But after the meltdown, Chelsea had an epiphany: She had to move on. Shortly after, with her dad and best friend in tow, Chelsea went to a law office and changes Aubree’s last name. Adam is officially out of the picture. It was great to see Chelsea step up for her baby and her future.
Before you consume the noteworthy moments below, tell me: What did you think of 16 and Pregnant? Would you like to see more of the teen moms take a stand against bad boyfriends? Did Chelsea’s mature decision surprise you? Sound off below!
Most [adjective here] moment:
Uncomfortable – Tie: Chelsea and her friend talking about pooping during childbirth and Chelsea trying out the breast pump on Adam.
Hateful – Adam’s comment after he did not go to the pediatrician’s office with Chelsea when Aubree became ill. ”Looks like you did fine. She’s not dead or anything.”
Angering – Adam’s (English language-decimating) text message to Chelsea: ”no I want u to feel like the most worthless stupid f— in the world u better believe its so over for the rest of ourlives ya fat stretch mark b—-…”
Wise – Chelsea’s dad telling her: ”You need to start using [Adam's] meanness as your motivation to get out of this,” after Adam sends her the above text message.
Slow clap-worthy – Chelsea signing the papers to change the baby’s last name to her own.
