Britney, Paris, Lindsay Take It All Off (Not Just Panties)

By: picaresque

Britney Spears, Paris Hilton, and Lindsay Lohan are hands off more than just underwear these days.

The old new best friends (of one another and the paparazzi) have outdone themselves lately with celebrity party photos far skankier than strip poker pictures. The latest pics come not only with nipple slips and drunken walks of shame but the added bonus of Britney’s crotch-exposing upskirts, owing to her new-found love of nights out, undies down.

I can imagine the Crotch Queen’s desperate urge to feel liberated after being married to someone like K-Fed; however, for many of us, the joy of snacking while online is now forever ruined.

It seems the gal pals are stripped beyond panties. Lindsay Lohan, for one, is also hands off booze, or so her mother says. Mom Dina Lohan told Ryan Seacrest on his KIIS-FM Los Angeles radio show that her woozy daughter is attending AA meetings. Make no mistake: she wasn’t outing Lindsay’s drinking problem, saying Lindsay is just going along with friends.

“A lot of people she hangs out with go, and it’s a positive thing,” says Dina, now that she’s made Lindsay’s rendezvous with reforming alcoholics not so anonymous. “She’s 20 and I’m not gonna say, ‘Stay home and don’t go out.’ That’s a ridiculous thing to do.”

Right. I suppose this means visiting American soldiers in Iraq with…

Britney Spears Crotch set Web on Fire

By: J.J. Jack

Yep, that’s after she banned K-Fed from it for good.

That’s right, Britney Spears, now single after she ended this ”wet dream came true” story of one Kevin Federline, has the rest of the world talking about her sweet little ass again.

Well, flashing your pussy and displaying your ”unbalanced” boobies a couple of times will do just that.

Oh Britney, hit us baby one more time! Sorry, I just needed to get britney_boobie.jpgthat one out.

Britney Spears seems intent on finding out just how long can she get away with not wearing underwear.

Oh yeah, she’s letting the rest of the world know it too, flashing her pussy more often than not these days.

Hmm… Maybe it’s Ms. Spears’ way of saying, ”hey, my pussy is back in business.”

For the second night in a row, third time in a goddamn week, Britney Spears has been photographed by the paparazzi without her panties on.

Is this her way of telling people that she’s now a…

Father of SportsCenter, Sports Machine, Dies

By: J.J. Jack

For all ya’ll who have no idea what Sports Machine is, it’s the first SportsCenter before we even had a SportsCenter.

Yep, Sports Machine, it is the first syndicated sports highlight show that set the stage for ESPN and basically every other sports programming there is today. Unfortunately, Sports Machine host George Michael is retiring, and as a result, Sports Machine will go off the air after 23 years of broadcast.

George Michael began the show in 1980 as a late-night local feature on WRC-TV in Washington. He is also retiring as the station’s sports director and weeknight sports anchor.

Michael said he made the decision after NBC, which owns WRC, announced significant layoffs and staff cuts. ‘’I told them, that if I have to lay anyone off, if I have to get rid of any of my staff, then I’m going to take the first bullet,’’ Michael said.

Sports Machine became nationally syndicated in 1984. It’s now shown in 194 U.S. markets and 10 foreign countries. Michael has won more than 40 Emmy awards.

‘’He was us before we were us,’’ said SportsCenter anchor Chris McKendry. McKendry was part of Michael’s competition in Washington at WJLA-TV from 1994-96, so for him to say that could very well be…

Bishops Welcome Gays …with a Judas Kiss

By: picaresque

We condemn discrimination against gays, and we condemn sex amongst gays.

The above mixed messages are brought to you by the United States Catholic bishops, who confered Tuesday to draft a document that advises followers of their faith on how to deal with gays, and gayness. The resulting statement contains gay outreach guidelines, which gay Catholic activists find only alienate the very people they attempt to reach.

The statement, Ministry to Persons with a Homosexual Inclination, was adopted at a meeting of the US Conference of Catholic Bishops by a 194-37 vote, with one abstention. It is well intended on the outset, encouraging Catholics to make an effort to accept homosexuals; but all the same, discouraging efforts to accept homosexuality.

An example: welcoming gays to the Catholic flock but forbidding those who engage in gay sex to take the holy communion. Seriously, is this still a traumatic reaction to that kiss from one male to another that ended the last supper in bad taste?

Catholic bishops suggest it’s okay to be gay but not okay to live a gay lifestyle, as if the two should be separated. The statement proposes it isn’t a sin to be attracted to someone of the same sex – but it is a sin to act on these same-sex feelings. To wit: fall in love but don’t make…

Music Celebrity Betting: Look Who Did It Again

By: picaresque

Is it me or did Britney Spears’ divorce launch the new slew of horrors across music genres?

Yes, let’s blame all global problems on Britney because it feels like fun. No sooner than she outed her new bob, new bod, and new irreconcilable diffs did the world plunge back into gossip doom yet again. In the Spears household, dirt is cast by a sex tape, which about-to-be-ex Kevin Federline is dangling as part of his grand blackmailing and golddigging scheme.

On the celebrity front, Jude Law and Sienna Miller split up for what they say is officially the last time, Borat gets beaten up in NYC, Denise Richards hurls a laptop and hits two clueless old women, and Anna Nicole Smith gets kicked out of her Bahamas home. On the music front, Procol Harum fight over royalties 100 years later from the much obscurely worded, LSD-addled song, A Whiter Shade of Pale. And that’s all on the same week as Brit’s filing for divorce.

Music Celebrity Betting Picks

Guns N’ Roses – Will they release new album Chinese Democracy by 2006? Bodog betting props have odds of -200 it’s a yes, +150 it’s a no. The deal with this album is that it’s been 10 years and $15 million in the making, and when it even gets released, would be the most expensive album ever recorded. And here we thought Axl Rose was spending all that free time treating his bipolar disorder, like that explains everything.

GNR isn’t dead, and sports a new lineup with ex-members of Nine Inch Nails, The Replacements, The Vandals, and Axl’s childhood friend, Paul Tobias, whose guitar rivalry with Slash had helped trigger the breakup. After touring in Las Vegas, San Francisco, et. al., the new GNR lent a…

Betting on Celebrity Marriages, Divorces (2 of 2)

By: picaresque

Celebrity divorce isn’t a product of today’s dime-a-dozen stars but as old as Hollywood.

J Lo, although married a rumored four times, is not the mother of Hollywood divorces. Zsa Zsa Gabor has been married nine times; Elizabeth Taylor and Lana Turner, eight times; Judy Garland, five times; Christie Brinkley, four times. Granted, it’s more lately that stars are marrying and/or getting knocked up by their bodyguards, trainers, dancers, roadies, waiters, nannies.

No stars are spared, including those who were the stuff of fairytale romance. Nicole Kidman and Tom Cruise called it quits after 11 years, from 1990 to 2001, while Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston said their goodbyes after five years, from 2000 to 2005. And the saga continues: celebrity betting odds of 1/10 the Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes wedding will be Scientologist, 3/1 Catholic, 100/1 Amish.

Britney Spears on November 7th filed for divorce from two-year husband Kevin Federline. Betting picks were quick to catch up on that one. Will Britney have her kids’ last names changed legally to Spears by…

Betting on Celebrity Marriages, Divorces (1 of 2)

By: picaresque

In movies, a Hollywood ending is a happy ending. In real life, it is the exact opposite.

Did you hear the one about Britney Spears divorcing Kevin Federline, announced only last November 7? Meet two of Hollywood’s biggest excesses: getting married and getting divorced. Unfortunately for the sanctity of the holy matrimony, celebrities wed and split up faster and more times than Angelina Jolie can adopt third world babies, or Ms. Spears can procreate biological ones.

Still, fans and paparazzi are relentless in fussing over who’s popping the question next. At Bodog betting props, the odds are -130 that supermodel Kate Moss and Pete Doherty of Babyshambles/The Libertines will get married by February 28 next year, and -110 they won’t. Celebrity betting odds are +300 ‘Scary’ Spice Girl Mel B and Eddie Murphy will get married by November 30 this year, and -500 they won’t.

What are the chances? Who are splitting up next? For free betting picks, look to some authorities on the subject…

Famously Short-term Hollywood Marriages

Britney Spears to Jason Alexander. We wonder which lasted longer: her first marriage, or the gap between birthing and conceiving her first two kids. Britney and Jason turned…

Making NASCAR Movies from the Nextel Cup Series

By: J.J. Jack

Of course, you’ve seen your share of NASCAR movies for sure. If you haven’t, I got two words for you, GO OUT.

Anyway, yeah, Hollywood tends to make movies based on sports too and NASCAR wasn’t spared. Unfortunately, sports movies in general are a minefield of cliches, bad scripts, inaccurate playing dynamics and near-constant waist-up nudity. That is when they are at their best. At their worst, you end up with ‘’The Babe.'’

My favorite sports movie would have to be ‘’Any Given Sunday,'’ because of the fact that Al Pacino was on it. I know I know, the film had it’s fair share of bad reviews but c’mon, it’s goddamn Al Pacino baby!

nascar_movie.jpgAs for NASCAR, it could go as ‘’real'’ as ‘’The Dale Earnhardt Story,'’ or as utterly stupid as ‘’Cars.'’ On that note, here are some NASCAR movies you may have already seen.

‘’Days of Thunder.'’ So bad it’s good. Racing purists cringe at the utterance of its title. You can make a solid argument that this movie helped boost NASCAR into the stratosphere, and that this was Tom Cruise being cool instead of weird. Never could figure out why Wesley from the ‘’The Princess Bride'’ was cast as the smooth, handsome bad guy. Just hire Jeff Gordon.

‘’Viva Las Vegas.'’ Is it really a…

Fernando Alonso only A POINT Away from F1 Title

By: J.J. Jack

One point. That’s all Fernando Alonso needs to win his second straight championship title in F1 Racing.

Yup, Michael Schumacher failed to win the 2006 Japanese Grand Prix. And the disgruntled German did it in the ugliest of ways, he retired with an engine failure without even scoring one measly point.

That means that Michael Schumacher would have to win the 2006 Brazilian Grand Prix. No problem right? WRONG. If Fernando Alonso finishes even in eight place, the Spanish Renault driver would still win the championship anyway. This race on Brazil is certainly not looking good for Ferrari and the retiring Michael Schumacher.

The 2006 Brazilian Grand Prix is the last race of the Formula One season. Michael Schumacher has already announced that he will be retiring when this season is over. Meaning, this grand prix in Brazil would be the very last race of his professional F1 career.

Right now, Schumi trails Alonso by ten points after failing to finish the race in Suzuka with a championship point. He stays with 116 points to Alonso’s 126. If Michael Schumacher wins the…

No Nextel Cup Champ in NASCAR yet, Only Losers

By: J.J. Jack

As NASCAR narrows down the field to those worthy of the Nextel Cup, there are people who are already out of it, feeling neglected.

And they agree that it’s just the way that it should be. Like Greg Biffle, last year’s Nextel Cup runner-up. Greg Biffle averaged with at least top nine finishes the past month but is anybody noticing? Apparently not. They’re all busy watching this season’s chase for the Nextel Cup and as far as Greg Biffle and the rest of the field goes, they couldn’t care less.

Hell, the guy can finish in 11th place this NASCAR season, probably good enough for a whopping $1 million bonus but NASCAR fans know that if you don’t make it to the chase for the Nextel Cup, then you’re a nobody.

Heck, Greg Biffle knew it and he even said this at Talladega Superspeedway earlier this year, ‘’If you don’t make the Chase, you’re a nobody.’’

I guess he is a nobody now huh? ‘’Every question has been about the Chase, and none of it involves me,’’ Biffle said shortly after this season’s Chase began. ‘’That’s why I said that at Talladega.’’

Yup, too late to take your own words back now.

So what is there left for these…
