Heather Locklear's disappointing mugshot

It can't be just me, can it? The mugshot is humorous, maybe slightly degrading, yet somehow forced. I think that these borderline celebs are deliberately trying to look retarded. That wide eyed, dilated stare, seems to be the standard look. It's like they know that's the look that will get your mugshot on every tv show, newspaper, and blog around. Any press is good press...right? I know Heather is having legit issues, these days. Still, the pessimist in me is asking who received her one phone call? The lawyer or the publicist?

(lightbulb).....the publicist, and they called the lawyer. Of course. Sphere: Related Content

Redskins put the boots to the Cowboys in Big D.....Suck it Dallas fans

The Washington Redskins cold punished the Dallas Cowgirls in a 26-24 victory. This was the last meeting of these two mortal enemies in the historic Texas Stadium. The Redskins offense controlled the contest with an effective run/pass mix, and the defense was stout against the run, making Dallas completely one dimensional. Clinton Portis had his first 100yd rushing game in Dallas with some big runs in the 4th quarter, as the Redskins attempted to milk the clock. Jason Campbell shined, completing 14 of 20 passes for 188 yards and 2 touchdowns. Campbell spoke after the game with The Washington Post

"You know, when you look at the fans celebrating, when you look at the way we're playing, this is what it's all about," Campbell said. "We're staying together and we keep fighting, so we can accomplish anything when we do that. But to come down here in a rivalry game like this and everything, it just means a lot for the organization, our fans and just everybody that cares about the Redskins."

I don't post a lot of sports related stuff, but Redskins Vs. Cowboys is serious business, here in D.C. Blind homer, anyone? Dallas Sucks! That is all.

Wait, that's not all. Strike up the band! Daaaah, dah, dah, dah-dah.....daaah, dah, dah, daaah! Wooo!

Apple unlocks the iPhone.......just not here

Is it just me, or is America being left behind. We've been passed, and are falling back further. Apple finally delivers an unlocked iPhone, but in Hong Kong. The phone can be purchased and activated using any carrier. This used to be the place were everything happened. If a company had something big to announce, something special to introduce to the market, it was done in the ole' U.S. of A. Then Japan took over. Now it's China. I know, don't playa hate. It's just seems to me that we're not the cool kids anymore. It's kind of a bummer. I hear you, though. Dude, it's just a phone, you say. Is it,...really? CNET

Apple has made an unlocked version of the iPhone 3G available in Hong Kong. Unlocked iPhones are rampant worldwide, but that isn't something that Apple has sanctioned. Freedom doesn't come cheap. The 8GB version is available for about $695 (5,400 Hong Kong dollars), while the 16GB iPhone costs about $798 (6,200 HK dollars), according to Apple's site.

Daniel Radc.....Harry Potter is a legit actor...No, for serious

Harry Potter debuts on Broadway to rave reviews. I didn't bother to put any real effort into researching this story, so I'm gonna wing it. From what I've gleaned, Harry Potter drops his pants and rubs up on some horses. Why they used horses, not unicorns, I don't know. Still, it's Genius! Seriously, there will be no hater-ation at XLarger. At least not in this case. Here are some reviews.

Ben Brantley of The New York Times said Radcliffe, 19, wore his part of a suburban stableboy who commits grotesque crimes against horses "like a tailor's delight -- that is, a natural fit that allows room to stretch."

"Like many beloved film actors Mr. Radcliffe has an air of heightened ordinariness, of the everyday lad who snags your attention with an extra, possibly dangerous gleam of intensity," wrote Brantley, adding his "Alsatian-blue gaze" helped his convincing performance.

Jack Sparrow finds Walt Disney's treasure?

Disney has announced Johnny Depp will reprise his role as the lovable seafaring scallywag, Jack Sparrow. There is no release date as of yet, but Disney has plenty of stuff to keep JD occupied. I got this from the New York Times, of all places.

Captain Jack Sparrow will sail again. The Walt Disney Company’s film division said Wednesday that Johnny Depp, below, would star in a fourth installment of its “Pirates of the Caribbean” franchise. A release is still years away — Disney did not give specifics on timing or a plot — but the company intends to keep Mr. Depp busy in the meantime. He will play the Mad Hatter in a 2010 re-imagining of “Alice in Wonderland,” directed by Tim Burton, and Tonto in a remake of “The Lone Ranger.”

JD is one of my favorite thespians currently performing thespianry. He delivers the goods every time. Even Tim Burton's foolishness can't tarnish his slick, melancholy coolness. No, I'm not gay for the Deppster, and you can't prove otherwise.

Gone on and get that money, boy! Tim Burton is a hack. That is all.

Ok, I'll give you "Ed Wood"

Stem cell research breakthrough.....well, if you're a mouse

The few people to experience XLarger's fledgling foray into the world of blog, will be glad to know that I am aware of what they call, "the science." Like GOP vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin, I'm more of a witchcraft fan myself. It appears that some big brains have found a way to create a pluripotent (Ability of a single stem cell to give rise to all of the various cell types that make up the body) stem cell from an adult cell. Well, an adult mouse cell anyway. Read this from the Washington Post

A team of Boston scientists developed a way to generate induced pluripotent stem cells (iPS) -- which are functionally similar to embryonic stem cells, but which can be produced from adult cells, rather than via the creation or destruction of an embryo -- more safely than ever.Should the findings, which involved mouse cells, be repeated with humans, they could pave the way for using iPS to delve into the biology of a wide range of genetic diseases.

"I think it's a really important, landmark study," said Kevin Eggan, an assistant professor of Stem Cell and Regenerative Biology and an assistant investigator of the Stowers Medical Institute at Harvard University. He was not involved in the study.

The results were published in the Sept. 25 online edition of Science.

And the right to lifers exalt, as the rest of us scream, FINALLY! No need for embryonic stem cells. Please be the answer to this ridiculous argument. It's a debate that, frankly, I'm tired of having. Then again, how many times have they poked a bunch of mice and declared, eureka? Well I know this much, if somehow this turns into the creation of a mouse-man hybrid super soldier, it'll be well worth all the headaches.

P.S. I knew what pluripotent meant. The definition was for you dummies. Sphere: Related Content

AT&T and Verizon pledge to mind their own damn business

These 2 numb nuts have admitted to monitoring customer usage, in an effort to tailor advertising to consumers. AT&T and Verizon admitted this at a Senate committee hearing. I don't believe it. Oh, and I'm sure they would never ever turn this information over to the feds, if asked. Patriot Act anyone? This bothers me simply because I look at an exorbitant amount of internet porn. Like most normal people. How am I supposed to assault my nether regions, knowing some computer program is watching me? I mean, come on, it knows what I'm doing. Now, I have a different service provider, but I know they all practice this nonsense. Pervs! Here's part of the Washington Post article

The practice, known as "behavioral targeting," is largely invisible to customers and generally done without their consent.

"Verizon believes that before company captures certain Internet-usage data . . . it should obtain meaningful, affirmative consent from consumers," said Thomas J. Tauke, Verizon executive vice president.

AT&T's chief privacy officer Dorothy Attwood made a similar pledge to legislators, and then, taking aim at Google she noted that AT&T's promise to get consumer consent is an advance over others in the industry.

NO WAY! Clay Aiken likes dudes

Hahahahahahah....... huhuhuhuhh....... HAHAHHAHAHHAHHA! In the October issue of People Magazine, Clay Akin reveals his proclivity towards homosexual activity. Frankly, Clay's androginous looks, and strange appeal to seemingly sexless soccer moms has lead me to believe him to be something of a human earthworm.

Turns out that he's managed to come into possesion of an infant, he claims to be his progeny. Ok, I'll buy it. Some turkey baster action, just like mike.

New Fox series for "The Incrdeble Hulk" star Tim Roth

Coming off the big green summer blockbuster, Tim Roth signed up for producer Brian Glazer's new drama "Lie To Me." Fox has already ordered 13 episodes of the one hour series about a man who can read peoples faces, and tell if they are lying. Aaalllright, sounds like a winner.....? I found this nugget at Variety

"Lie to Me" is set to start shooting in November. Scribes have already got a jump on production; Fox had earlier ordered several scripts in addition to the pilot, allowing series creator Sam Baum and his team a chance to generate several more stories.

"This is a very important piece of the puzzle for us," said Fox Entertainment proxy Kevin Reilly. "We’ve got big plans for this year, and it was important that this one came together. It’s that very elusive but fundamental thing we’re looking for: a commercially viable franchise that can generate five-plus years for us."

Tim Roth has been doing movies and TV for a while, but up until the Hulk movie, he has been under the radar for some time. At least, as far as I can tell. Most people know him as Mr. Orange in "Reservoir Dogs" and Ringo in "Pulp Fiction." Two Quentin Tarantino staples for movie fans. A few other Roth favorites of mine, are "Captives," which also starred Julia Ormond ("Sabrina" and "Legends of the Fall"). "Rob Roy," with Liam Neeson, were he was great as the sadistic Archibald Cunningham, and "Murder in the Heartland," a little known TV movie, also starring Fairuza Balk. I enjoy Roth's sullen, yet intense acting style, and the fact that he looks like an angry aardvark and still gets work gives us regular guys hope.

Agent "0" Gilbert Arenas is back up on blocks

Washington Wizards superstar Gilbert Arenas has gone for surgery to clean up knee fragments. This is the 3rd procedure on his bad right wheel. Gil wonders why everyone is tripping over it. Damn your eyes, Gilbert Arenas! Daaamn, your eyyyyeees! I love Gil, but this is shady. Dude, listen to the team doctors. Follow their rehab program. Come back when they say, not when you feel you should. $111 millions bones. That's ridiculous cash. D.C. needs a champion. I was so sure Gil would be the start of a title run, but it doesn't look like it's meant to be. Mike Wise, sports columnist from The Washington Post got Gil's take on the issue.

"Why's everybody tripping out?" he said from his cellphone yesterday, less than five hours after debris was removed from his surgically repaired left knee -- the same knee that's now been opened three times in 18 months.

"Big picture, if I start rehabbing now and get through the pain that prevented me from running or jumping this summer, I'll be back on the court sooner," he said. "How's that a bad thing?"

Aaallllright......the best I can hope is that this doesn't turn into a debacle like last 2 years (sigh). Let all take this moment to say a prayer. Please, oh gods of the cross-over dribble, heal Gil's rickety knee bones. Bless him, once again, with the ability to make defenders look a fool, to display the unearthly quickness to pick the pockets of opposing ball handlers, and to rain down 3's like Hershey Kisses from heaven on the heads of b-ball non-believers. Also, can you throw in a signed game jersey for me. Say amen.....I sssaaaid, SAY AMEN! Yyeeaaah, I'm going to hell. Hopefully in my new jersey. Ha, hhaaah! Sphere: Related Content

Megan Fox likes to touch girls too

Megan Fox (you remember, the girl from the Transformers movie) in this months GQ magazine. There is a photoshoot, but I chose to grab this video. There is also an interview.......; a really good interview. Got a couple of excerpts from Men.Style.com. Insert hand in pants and enjoy.

When Megan was 19, she posed half-naked for a magazine photo shoot and boasted in the accompanying interview that she possessed “the libido of a 15-year-old boy.” She also described a tattoo she’d gotten of her boyfriend’s name as being “next to my pie.”

* * * *

“I would get myself into situations that were very bizarre—situations any logical person would not have gotten themselves into.”

Like what?

“Well, that year my boyfriend broke up with me, and I decided—oh man; sorry, Mommy!—that I was in love with this girl that worked at the Body Shop [a strip club on Sunset Boulevard]. I decided that I was going to get her to love me back, and I went out of my way to create a relationship with this girl, a stripper named Nikita.“Are you going to push an ‘Is she a lesbian’ angle? Oh man, you are going to do that to me.…” She pauses. “Look, I’m not a lesbian—I just think that all humans are born with the ability to be attracted to both sexes. I mean, I could see myself in a relationship with a girl—Olivia Wilde is so sexy she makes me want to strangle a mountain ox with my bare hands. She’s mesmerizing. And lately I’ve been obsessed with Jenna Jameson, but.… Oh boy.”

I'm not gonna turn this site into some hot babe emporium, but I couldn't resist this. The combination of video, pics and a ridiculous hot interview (minus the parts about the boyfriend) were irresistible. I promise that besides when I see something about, Megan Fox, Olivia Munn, Katee Sackhoff, or whatever lovely little morsel I fall in love with that week; there will be no gratuitous sexy, sexy bikini babe postings....... Oh yeah, who the heck is Olivia Wilde? Better get XLarger's crack researchers on it.

Comedian Zach Galifianakis has snagged lead roles in Todd Phillips' comedy "The Hangover" for Warner Bros. and the HBO pilot "Bored to Death." In "Hangover," Galifianakis, Bradley Cooper and Ed Helms play best buddies at a wild Las Vegas bachelor party who lose the groom just hours before his wedding. Legendary Pictures is producing with Warners, and filming is set to begin this weekend.

Got some great news for fans 0f the delightfully tantalizing Katee Sackhoff. Katee's got a lot on her acting plate. The tasty Battlestar Galactica morsel will be taking the lead role in an upcoming NBC series. Got this from The Hollywood Reporter

Katee Sackhoff is "Lost and Found" at NBC. The "Battlestar Galactica" star has been tapped as the lead in the network's Dick Wolf-produced pilot, created by Chris Levinson. The hourlong "Found," produced by Wolf Films and Universal Media Studios, centers on Tessa (Sackhoff), an offbeat female LAPD detective who, after butting heads with the higher-ups, is sent as a punishment to the basement to work on John Doe and Jane Doe cases. The casting of Sackhoff means a firm production order for the pilot, which was picked up last month as cast-contingent.

Favreau announces Mandarin for Iron Man sequel

John Favreau, during a press junket for the Iron Man DVD release, talked about the upcoming sequels to the summer smash. The Mandarin is a bad ass in the Iron Man storyline, and I can't wait to see how Favreau fleshes him out for the big screen. JF also mentions a greater roll for The War Machine suit donned by Jim "Rhodey" Rhodes, and hopefully a continued role for Terrence Howard. I got this from MTV's Splash Page

Favreau confirmed that Iron Man’s longtime nemesis, The Mandarin, will be a major villain in the franchise, though the character’s magic-based rings and the abilities they provided would likely need some tweaks to fit comfortably in the high-tech world established by the first film. He also hinted that Mandarin might not appear on-screen until the third film, in order to preserve some of the mystery and threat surrounding the Asian crime lord.

On the rumor front, Favreau mentioned that the current political climate could play a role in the the plot of future films, prompting various outlets to buzz about a potential introduction of Iron Man’s counterpart from Russia, The Crimson Dynamo.

With the success of comic book adaptations like the X-Men, Batman, Spider-Man, and Iron Man, there is no excuse for putting out a crappy hero flick. Studios are finally realizing that you can't just throw anybody into a leather suit and get a comic geeks hard earned cash. I hope these studios that are buying up rights to comic books and video games see that they may have to actually do some work. Gone are the days of "C" list directors, actors you've never heard of, shitty blue screen, stop-motion, and wire work effects. Sphere: Related Content

Chrysler has released official details of its refreshed 2009 Dodge Charger, changes to which most notably include a new-generation HEMI V8 in the R/T model that produces 368 horsepower and 395 lb-ft torque, up from 340 hp and 390 lb-ft. The 6.1-liter HEMI V8 in the SRT8 and the 3.5-liter V6 in the SXT model remain unchanged, although the 2.7-liter V6 in the Charger SE drops from 190 to 178 horsepower. The 5.7-liter HEMI continues to offer fuel-saving Multi-displacement System (MDS) technology. MDS seamlessly turns off fuel consumption in four cylinders when V-8 power is not needed, improving fuel economy as much as 20 percent.

That reminds me, I have to renew my Car & Driver subscription. All I have is an issue from March 2007, and most of the pages in it are stuck together. Sphere: Related Content

The Mighty Thor finally realized?

One of my personal favorite Marvel heroes is looking good for the big screen. According to MTV Splash Page The Mighty Thor and his famous dome buster, Mjolnir, is gearing up for a 2010 release.

Could “Eagle Eye” and “Disturbia” director DJ Caruso be the man behind the camera when the big-screen version of Marvel Comics’ “Thor” goes into production? “I know that they [Marvel] have a script,” said Caruso, “but there’s something, there’s a fear I have about Thor and depending on what Thor story you want to tell, whether you want to bring Thor into the modern world or if you want to go back to Asgard and get the history of what’s happening between him and his brother and dad.”Marvel Studios currently has “Thor” scheduled to hit theaters on June 4, 2010. The most recent reports have Mark Protosevich (”I Am Legend”) polishing the script for the film.rtheless, he added, “I could definitely see myself getting myself into that.”

Former UFC Middleweight Champion Evan Tanner dies

Clearly a sad day in the MMA nation, as the body of Evan Tanner was found in the California desert on Monday. The San Diego Tribune reported

Officials on Tuesday confirmed that a body found in a remote area of the Imperial County desert was that of former Ultimate Fighting Championship middleweight titleholder Evan Tanner of Oceanside. Preliminary reports indicate Tanner, 37, died of heat exposure, said Imperial County Sheriff's Lt. George Moreno. An autopsy to determine the exact cause of death was scheduled for Tuesday.

Sense losing his title to Rich Franklin in 2005, Tanner had been working his way back to prominence in the middleweight division. Many fans had been hoping that his recent convincing victory over former Olympian Matt Lindland was another step in that direction. Tanner is survived by his brother and mother.

Chuck Liddell wakes up and the nightmare begins....

Rashad Evans shocks the whole of the MMA nation by dispatching UFC juggernaut Chuck Liddell via 2nd round knockout. Evans executed the perfect plan, which culminated in a beautiful one punch finisher. Evans spoke after the fight @ UFC.com

“You’ve got to go straight for the horns,” said Evans, still unbeaten at 17-0-1. “You can’t fight him going for takedowns all night. That’s the way you get knocked out. I wanted to beat him at his own game.”

If only I were the degenerate gambler I thought I would grow up to be.....Who am I kidding? I would've bet my wad on Liddell.

A good ole' fashioned slobber knocker.......?

Although it's more likely that Liddell will pummel Evans and finish with a flawless victory. Evans is a pit bull, and I hope to see a real contest.

UFC 88 will come to us all live on September 6th from the Philips Arena in Atlanta, Georgia. The event will give Atlanta its first taste of live UFC action, and there’s sure to be a lot of it when Chuck “The Iceman” Liddell takes on Rashad Evans for the likely right to face Forrest Griffin for the UFC Light Heavyweight Championship.
Chuck Liddell (21-5) vs. Rashad Evans (11-0-1): Chuck Liddell may do two things better than anyone that has ever fought in the light heavyweight division. First, he may have better one punch knockout power than any 205 pounder in history. Second, he may have the best takedown defense as well. See more

New Honda Insight on the way

Honda is reviving an old name for its new Global Hybrid that goes on sale next spring by calling it the Insight. The new five-door hatchback "Prius-Killer" will be the most direct competitor yet for Toyota's iconic hybrid. Learning from the lesson that hybrid buyers apparently prefer their cars to be recognizable as such rather than being derivatives of existing models, Honda has modeled the new Insight after its low volume FCX Clarity fuel cell car and will be debuting it as a concept at the Paris Motor Show next month before it goes on sale as the least expensive hybrid in the world in 2009. Recent comments by Honda have hinted at a price starting at $18,500 for the Insight, which goes on sale 10 years after the original. Unlike the tiny two-seater that had limited appeal and utility, this new one is expected to appeal to a much wider audience. Honda is planning for worldwide sales of 200,000 units a year with 100,000 going to the U.S. market.

Can your cell phone make you a douchebag......I say yes.

Aaah, a sleek looking, full featured celly. Gay, gay, gay, gaaaayy! That may be some people's opinon, but I have to disagree. A super stylish phone with all the bells and whistles, doesn't give one insight to a persons sexual predalection or propensity towards doucheyness. For instance, behold the PADA II.

Looks like LG wants some bite to back up the PRADA II's bark -- assuming both the device and its specs are real, of course, since we've been basing everything we know about Lucky Goldstar's rumored fashion monster on rumors thus far. The latest word on the street has the phone packing a what's-what of good things, ranging from a 5-megapixel autofocus cam, wide QVGA display (with capacitive touch, we can only imagine), HSDPA 850 / 2100, motion sensing, an FM radio, and a WiFi radio for those poor US souls who find themselves surrounded by more 1900MHz 3G than 850. It certainly all sounds real enough -- not as revolutionary as the first PRADA may have been, but a solid upgrade.

See, totally not gay. Now I'm speaking to the guys, here. Just having the phone isn't dangerous, but what happens if you lock eyes with another dude who also has it? Be careful out there. Sphere: Related Content

She's bringin' slutty back.....?

BS is back in shape and takin' another crack at the VMA's. The World's Greatest Mom, Britney Spears is trying to get back on the rails, according to Variety

It's Britney, baby, one more time. Despite her train-wreck performance at the MTV Video Music Awards last year, the network confirms Spears will kick off the show once again. But it won't be a performance. Instead, MTV Networks Music Group President Van Toffler said Wednesday, it'll be something "fun and unexpected" on Sunday night's show.

That's a little disappointing, but I'm hoping that she'll bring the crazy to whatever she does. I know you're hoping that she redeems herself, and is able to channel the Britney of old. Not me. The only thing better than a train wreck is a bigger train wreck. Figuratively, of course....DOUCHE!
