Brett Favre is still not telling if he’ll come back or not

Saturday, March 13th, 2010

Well, what do you expect?

With still more than a few months left before we get to see what the 2010 NFL football season has in store for us, Brett Favre ain’t budging yet when asked on what exactly are his plans for his imminent future in the NFL.

You see, Brett Favre said that he still hasn’t decided yet on whether he’ll play again next season, and doesn’t expect to make an announcement anytime soon. Well, we can’t say we haven’t heard something like this from him before.

Appearing on NBC’s ”The Tonight Show with Jay Leno,” Favre, who played for the Minnesota Vikings last season, politely balked when host Jay Leno asked for his thoughts on returning for the 2010 season.

”Well Jay, it’s only been a month, and I know now that I’m just not going to say anything anytime soon, just going to kind of sit back, relax, enjoy the offseason,” Brett Favre said in his first public appearance since the Minnesota Vikings lost in the NFC championship game at New Orleans back in January 24.

The pride of Kiln, Miss., Favre is the NFL’s career leader in nearly every major passing category. Hell, the guy’s a three-time league MVP too. The former star quarterback of the Green Bay Packers had one of his best seasons ever after doing what was once unfathomable, playing for Green Bay’s rivals, the Minnesota Vikings.

The Vikings were rewarded with 33 touchdowns and the lowest…

Would you pay $1,250,000 for a 16.4 Veyron Bugatti?

Monday, June 4th, 2007

seth-edward-oneal.jpgApparently, Nicholas Cage and Jay Leno will, just for that little thing we like to call ”ego.”

Yep, CARS, more often than not, say a lot about it’s owner. You own a classic muscle car? Then you must be a classic American who cares about what’s inside the hood of a car than what’s ”ON” a car. You’re into tuner? Then you must be one of those silly little kids who like to race on the streets, thinking they’re the epitome of cool.

You own a Bugatti? Then THAT is a different story…

Bugatti has always been bigger than the Rolls-Royce, especially before the second World War. When the war ended, most of the bugatti_veyron.jpgRolls Royce’s value plummeted down. As for the Bugatti? Surprisingly, it continued to go up like crazy.

Don’t believe me? These days, a 1930 Grand Prix Bugatti will have a price tag of nearly $1 million. How’s that for one solid proof? So if a classic Bugatti will cost you that much, how much would you think it will cost you trying to own a modern Bugatti machine?

It’s more than a million dollars.

The 16.4 Veyron Bugatti costs a whopping $1,250,000. Yep, such is the price for a life where pussies will simply come jumping on your…

The Brightest Stars Descend in Las Vegas

Thursday, November 16th, 2006

PoppyZIt’s not just celebrity impersonators or tribute acts that make up the concert acts at the top Las Vegas casino hotels. Some of them are the real deal.

Big celebrity names that add glitter into the Vegas nightlife include top comedians like Jay Leno, Ray Romano, Dave Chappelle, Don Rickles, Dennis Miller, the fiesty Joan Rivers, and other names fast climbing the stand up comedy food chain.

But most importantly, it’s the concert acts that bring in huge ticket sales.

Legendary concert artists have been part of Vegas’ history and tradition. Old Blue Eyes himself, Prince n VegasFrank Sinatra, led his Rat Pack — consisting of equally venerated figures of the time, Sammy Davis Jr., Dean Martin, and Joey Bishop — in staging memorable performances around Vegas in the ’50s and ’60s.

In the 70s, it was The King, Elvis Presley’s turn to bring down the house.

The Rat Pack and Elvis’ love for the Sin City even spawned two of the greatest movie hits in history, the original Ocean’s 11 and Viva Las Vegas.

Other artists who made denting marks in the City of Lights include Barry Manilow, and glamor gurus Cher and Elton John.

Today, the undeniable queen of Vegas concerts is Celine Dion. You won’t miss it. Everywhere you go in Vegas you’ll encounter gigantic billboards and posters of the Canadian diva. Even if you try to avoid her face, it’ll end up right in front of you when you least expect it.

Will Jen Hate Oprah for Guesting Brangelina and Baby Shiloh?

Monday, July 10th, 2006

What are the odds that Oprah, a self-professed Jennifer Aniston girl friend, would welcome the Brangelina baby to her talk show? Will you wager on it?

Now that People magazine has published the first official press photos of baby Shiloh Nouvel Jolie-Pitt, people have moved on and are talking TV. As in: what will be the first live US television show on which Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt bring baby Shiloh?

According to you, it’s most likely Oprah or Good Morning America. Both are listed equally as the 2/1 odds-on favorite choice in Bodog celebrity props. I am no Brangelina authority but this strikes me as rather odd.

On one hand, Oprah was the woman who invited Aniston to her big season opener post-breakup, to show the world the gal’s alright. There was hand-holding and so much as a sleepover with girl friends. Sure, she might have taken free poker classes from Brad, who had guested in her show twice, but that was before he dumped Jen.

On the other hand, the queen of talk shares Jolie’s passion for UN’s causes and Africa. Plus, Angelina has been called a great media manipulator so I wouldn’t put it past her to bring baby Shiloh to the one show where Aniston is loved. Angelina has appeared in a multitude of talk shows but never Oprah.

Good Morning America is a constant…

America’s Five Movie Disasters

Saturday, July 1st, 2006

America is not always a success story.

Yup, we all saw the fabled David Letterman – Jay Leno rivalry that almost resembles the New York – Los Angeles turf war. (Letterman is from New York while Leno is from L.A.) We also saw the incredible ‘’Lord of the Rings’’ and new ‘’Star Wars’’ trilogy that made nerds COOL.

However, America is not always the success story it wants us to believe. Here are just FIVE of the reasons why America can also be a living hell.

  • In the 1996 movie ‘’Kazaam,’’ Shaquille O’ Neal played a rapping genie who helps a kid reunite with his workaholic father. All you need to know about this HUGE BUST-BUSTER is the fact that someone from the Miami Heat actually tried to act.
  • Back in 1988, ‘’Vibes‘’ featured two psychics played by Cyndi Lauper and Jeff Goldblum. Despite opening in more than 1,000 theaters, it grossed less than $2 million at the box office.
  • 1990’s ‘’Dick Tracy‘’ has a cast that includes Warren Beatty, Madonna, Dustin Hoffman, Kathy Bates and Paul Sorvino. Yet the thing most people remember about the movie is that it was very bright and colorful. That is not a good sign.
  • Following the success of ‘’48 Hours‘’ and ‘’Beverly Hills Cop,’’ Eddie…

Tom Brady, Maria Sharapova Sexiest in Victoria’s Secret

What Is Sexy?

If the push-up bra is any indication, Victoria’s Secret is the brave one. Brave enough to dare ask that question. That existentialist question to which the entire planet Earth will never agree on the same answer.

Well, the question has been asked, it’s out there, and we got ourselves some answers. They come from Victoria’s Secret’s first ever ‘What Is Sexy’ list, which the official Web page describes as “featuring the sexiest people, places and things of our time”.

Michael Jackson Trial: Wait…Where’s Geraldo?

Monday, June 13th, 2005

2020barbarawalters.jpgWell, since all of the betting action on Michael Jackson’s trial outcome is in the fate of the 12 people sequestered to patiently sit through hours of demon-screeching testimony about inappropriate touching, genital fondling, and wine-guzzling boy orgies, BetUs.com has decided to extend the madness to the media. Specifically, which "news" interviewer will get the thorny task(and ratings boner) of interviewing the King of Young Boy Reach-Arounds after his trial ends. Whether it will be done in a small 13" x 13" cell or at the Neverland ranch while Michael is dressed in spats riding a llama is still questionable–but the interviewer odds are set. And, of course, it’s Barbara Walters’(-150) three-legged race to lose.

Lock Up Your Terminally Ill Children: Gamblers See Michael Jackson Acquittal

Tuesday, May 24th, 2005

The Michael Jackson trial is seeing heavy action on the acquittal side as close to 43% of folks betting (excuse me, “trading”) on Tradesports.com think Jackson will get off. Most of the movement to that side could stem from the heavy does of celebrity testimonies dismissing Jackson’s actions as harmless, others could be swayed by [...]
