Olivia Munn: Sexiest Moments

A while back, we did a post on Olivia Munn, one of the co-hosts of "Attack of the Show" on G4. Anyway, here's a good little compilation video to show you what we have on our hands here.

Wii Guys: It's All In The Wrist

I had meant to look for this video for the last few weeks but I kept forgetting. Let's just say that Alec Baldwin is brilliant in the skit titled "Wii Guys" and the double entendres throughout are priceless. It's no wonder SNL had to wait until nearly the end of the show when this came on or else the pre-midnight censors might have had a heart attack.

Swim Fashion Week

If I'm doing the math right, I think summer is winding to an end in Australia. Yet this week, models flocked to the city of Gold Coast in that country to parade around during what is being called "Swim Fashion Week." Below are some of our favorite images. If you want more, you can go to this page for a bevy of more choices. Remember, click on the image for a larger version.






Finally The Laker Girls


If you've been following us, you know that we like to post links to the wonderful photo galleries that SI.com puts together on the various dance teams around the NBA. Well, today is a special day because the site is finally featuring the holy grail of dance teams -- the Laker Girls. So much rich history and a talent level at the top of NBA circles.

Danica Patrick Photo Shoot


I know this ain't breaking news, but did you get a chance to see the Danica Patrick shoot for SI.com's swimsuit issue? If not, it might worth a browse at this link. Danica has been known to love the camera and the camera seems to love her too. And yeah I know all these photos are airbrushed up the wazoo to make them look as good as possible, but still. You certainly can't see this side of Danica when she's all bundled up and strapped into her car with that gaudy helmet on. She cleans up well and certainly ain't shy about showing off her assets.

Horses Make For Good Comedy

As you might know, we love "Family Guy" around here and about the only negative is that the viewing of new episodes is so inconsistent that it leaves me frustrated. Still, I think Seth MacFarlane and his crew are geniuses. If you haven't seen these before, Seth does this short comedy bits on YouTube. His channel can be found here if you want to see them all. The one below is pretty good, though I'm not so sure Matthew Broderick would find it funny.

Hot Girl, Bad Name


For the most part, I don't like it too much when a girl has one of those unisex names. You know what I mean. Like when Christine shortens it to Chris, Patricia to Pat, Alexandra to Alex, etc., or even names like Blair, Casey, Dominique, Drew, Jackie, Kelly, Lee or Tracy. Heck, Wikipedia has an entire entry devoted to the phenomenon. But I can live with all those because like I said, they're all "unisex" in my mind. Pictured above is Michigan cheerleader Tomi. Yeah, sure she's cute, but I just can't get past her name. I mean, what the hell is Tomi short for? Or if it's not short for anything, why the hell name your girl Tomi? Just rubs me the wrong way for some reason. Anyway, here's more of Tomi, courtesy of SI.com.

New Jersey Nets Dancers


Here's another installment of NBA dancers, this time the crew from across the river in New Jersey -- the Nets Dancers. Having just been to New York, I can vouch for the high quality of talent -- even when they're all bundled up. Jersey girls can sometimes be considered second-rate, but in this gallery from SI.com, they ain't half bad. And they're very acrobatic as evidenced above.

Atlanta Thrashers Blue Crew


I haven't been to an NHL game in about three of four years so I think this notion of employing women in skimpy outfits to skate onto the rink during stoppages in play to shovel excess ice is brilliant. Here's a look at another of the league's hard-working crews -- the Blue Crew of Atlanta -- courtesy of SI.com. And if you want to see more of them, click this link.

NBA Cheerleaders ... Uh Dancers

Let's be simple here. The Houston Rockets, Los Angeles Clippers and Denver Nuggets are represented here. As with most photos posted here, if you click on the image, you'll get a larger version. Enjoy:




Porrista Pics O' The Week

Since it had been a week since we published something, we have fallen behind a bit on our porrista postings. So here are several days worth of pics for your enjoyment. I'm sensing a theme:






Of course, there are the "traditional" shots:




Then there are the "blatant" shots:


And finally, a bonus shot of a porrista at an Acapulco tennis tournament. Not sure what porristas are doing at a tennis match, but maybe I better not ask questions:

New York Stories ... And Beyond


EM got away with the wife for the last few days to visit New York, so sorry for the lack of posting. Anyway, though I knew New York would be fun, fun, fun, I had no idea it could be THIS fun, as the photo above would make you believe. Saw this displayed on the street late one night walking up Lexington Avenue from Greenwich Village. I think doing this might be illegal in some states, at least if I believe some of you out there. By the way, I didn't walk in the door to investigate whether this was possible. Now, to be a little more serious, the photo below was snapped in the DFW airport while waiting for a connection. I thought it was ironic and poignant to see this frail little old lady sitting in her wheelchair with a bag from the store "Forever 21" draped over the handle.


Another quick funny story from DFW. While standing in line at the Subway there, my wife texted me that there was someone from the San Francisco 49ers standing in front of her. (Not our first NFL-related encounter at an airport, BTW). Now, because she couldn't give two rips about sports, for the most part, my wife couldn't tell me who it was and was too embarrassed to ask. So after a fan walked up to this person to engage him in a brief hero-worship convo, my wife mouths to the fan, "Who is that?" After getting a one-word response from the fan, my wife still couldn't figure it out. So she comes back to tell me that the fan had mouthed something like "Gaut" or "Golt" or "Goat" or "Gott" but she couldn't figured it out. She then said the person seemed to be in their late 40s or 50s, so I knew then it couldn't be a player. So I asked her, "Was it Mike Singletary, the coach?" and she says, "No, no, no, it wasn't that. All I can say is that he looked a little like a platypus." Hmmm, a platypus? I had no idea what to think. So later that day, when we finally had access to a computer, my wife says, "Oh, look up that 49ers guy." The first thing I did was do a GIS of Singletary, and immediately when she sees his photo, she excitedly says, "Yeah, that's him!" Apparently, what the fan had been mouthing to my wife was "Coach" but it just didn't register with her. So there she was standing next to a Hall of Fame linebacker who was one of the most feared players the NFL has ever seen and I never got the chance to say hello because all she could equate him to was a platypus and nothing more. After that, she couldn't stop telling the "Guess who I met?" story to anyone who would listen, probably just to annoy me ... but then again, moments such as these, are exactly the reason why I love her so much. :-) As far as the platypus comparison, yeah, I guess I can see it ... but I'd never tell Singletary to his face. Especially after seeing this video from his first NFL season as a coach. The guy would scare me shitless if I were a player.

Shaq And The JabbawockeeZ

I'm not usually a fan of this kind of stuff, but I have to admit that I did enjoy it when Shaq came out during the introductions of the NBA All-Star game Sunday and did his minute-long dance with the JabbawockeeZ. Only Shaq could have pulled this off. I really liked the song too. Anyone know what the name of it is?

Everything Stewie Does

The brilliance of "Family Guy" is the way the show always takes a joke further than you'd ever think it would be taken. If you saw Sunday night's episode, "Ocean's Three and a Half," you no doubt remember Stewie's music video of the song "(Everything I Do) I Do It For You" by Bryan Adams, as his way of impressing Joe and Bonnie's new baby girl. It's the subtlety of all the cliches used in the video that had me laughing the whole time. And with the descriptor "Pieces of Stewie" at the end, it just capped what was a fine four minutes.

Porrista Pics O' The Day

Here are the latest porrista pictures from south of the border.

Lakers From Past And Present


This is a famous photo that ran in Sports Illustrated during the Magic Johnson-Larry Bird era of the NBA. Recently, SI.com posted a photo gallery titled "Iconic Lakers Photos," and if you're a fan of the team it's a must-click link. Check it out.

Quite The Arizona Wildcat


This is Arizona cheerleader Jenna. Now, normally I don't give two hoots about anything having to do with Arizona, but I suppose we can make an exception. This is from another brilliant feature provided by SI.com -- the cheerleader of the week. You can see more of Jenna at this link.

Clipper Spirit Persists


There's never been much to cheer about if you're a Clippers' fan, but things have gotten so bleak lately that even the most optimistic fellow would have a hard time spinning anything positive. Not only are the Clippers one of the worst teams on the court (and have been for a long, long time), now their owner is being sued by his former general manager, who is alleging a work environment full of racism and other goodies. Yet, this is the same general manager, who kept his job for 22 years despite the team he was guiding making the playoffs only three times. Can it get any worse? At least there's still the Clipper Spirit to keep us distracted, and once again, SI.com comes through with its diversionary tactics (i.e. photo gallery).

A-Rod And The "Cream"

With the all the news about Alex Rodriguez's steroid use lately, leave it to David Letterman to uncover some "exclusive" video of A-Rod taking the "cream". Letterman also had a good Top 10 list about A-Rod, which you can read below. If I find the video I'll post that too.


Top Ten Messages Left on Alex Rodriguez's Answering Machine last night...

10. "Hey, it's Mark McGwire. Want to get together this week and not talk about the past?"

9. "Joe Torre here--thanks for helping book sales"

8. "Could you find a steroid that keeps you from choking in the playoffs?"

7. "Are you worried this will taint all the championships you didn't win?"

6. "It's Bernie Madoff. Nice try but I'm still the most hated man in New York"

5. "Michael Phelps here. Got any snacks?"

4. "This is Sammy Sosa. Just pretend you don't speak English"

3. "Michael Phelps again. Did I call you or did you call me?"

2. "Hey, it's Rod Blagojevich--I'll say you're innocent, if you say I am"

1. "It's Madonna. You got a phone number for Jeter?"

SI Cover Model Bar Refaeli

Here is video of the newest Sports Illustrated cover model Bar Refaeli. TMZ also posted this link, so I'm not sure if it repeats, but if it does, who really cares right? Incidentally, Bar is playing kissy face with Leonardo DiCaprio these days. Last year's cover model, Brooklyn Decker, is tight with tennis player Andy Roddick.

Orlando Magic Dancers


Florida is a rather fertile land when it comes to cheerleaders... or at least that's what we imagine. Anyway, here's a link to another brilliant photo gallery by the folks over at SI.com. This time they zero in on the dancers of the Orlando Magic. They are quite athletic as you can see in the photo above.

Porrista Pics O' The Day

Here are this week's pictures in our frequent feature. Who knows, maybe I'll find even more tomorrow.





UCLA Is Lookin' Good


Nothing like a good old-fashioned ass-whippin' at the hands of the UCLA basketball team. And nothing like seeing Notre Dame at the other end of the whipping stick. Granted, it's not as sweet as if it were football, but as a UCLA fan you gotta take what you can get. And the way UCLA is playing lately, it shows that another Final Four fun is not out of the realm of possibility. And where else can you go to see cheerleaders like the ones in Westwood?

Steve Martin On SNL

Steve Martin recently hosted "Saturday Night Live" for like the umpteenth time and he's usually pretty good (though I heard, [didn't actually see it] that his recent effort left a little to be desired). But my favorite opening monologue is the one below of Martin brilliantly playing the stuffy, jaded actor who finally finds some inspiration from the past and promises to once again to do his best. Broadway's got nothing on this opening act.

Adam Morrison Is A Laker


The man who cried, whose 'stache we had come to adore and which had inspired a nation of retro-loving males to embrace their inner porn star, whose floppy hair reminded us that yes, indeed, we could relive the 1970s in this new millennium, whose emotional breakdown at the end of his college career gave us serious pause before we broke out into serendipitous glee especially if we were UCLA fans in the midst of one of the NCAA tournament's greatest comeback victories in history, whose irreverent political and philosophical views had us captivated and at the same raising an eyebrow toward what might be hidden in the bowels of his dorm room, and who we could definitely see as the type of dude who probably wouldn't mind hanging with Michael Phelps, has at last become a Laker. Adam Morrison is one of us now and we couldn't be happier. I'm thinking all Adam needs is a change of scenery and he will blossom into the player we all thought he would become when he was picked No. 3 overall in the 2006 NBA draft. He holds a special place in my heart as ol' Adam was featured in the very first post on this blog so now that he's an Angeleno I can only embrace him with open arms, a pat on the head and a wish for him that dreams can come true in this City of Angels.

The Heart Attack Grill

The Heart Attack Grill, the most honest restaurant in America. I especially enjoyed the all-you-can-eat fry bar. Thanks to my connection in the South for turning me on to the existence of this place.

Tennis Hottie O' The Day

We haven't done this in a while, and frankly I'm not even sure if this player is a hottie or not, but this picture looked all right. This is I-Hsuan Hwang of Chinese Taipei playing in the Fed Cup against Australia. Nice backhand.

Fabulous Figure Skaters

The Four Continents figure skating competition is taking place in Vancouver this week and here are the latest photos from the event that is a huge warm-up for next month's world championships at Staples Center in Los Angeles. We'll be sure to bring you any other late-breaking news from Vancouver over the weekend. We know it will be exquisite (put the emphasis on the first syllable of that last word to say it properly).

Christian Bale Loses It

Actor Christian Bale recently LOST IT on the set of his new movie "Terminator 4" and here is the audio to back it up. Apparently a behind-the-scenes lighting guy somehow got into Bale's field of vision so it completely distracted him and prevented him from performing his scene. Now, when you listen to this, be VERY, VERY careful where you are as every other word seems to be one we call the "F-word" so don't say I didn't warn you.


But apparently this ISN'T the first time Bale has gone off on the set:


Thanks to my New York connection for pointing this one out to me.

Springsteen's Halftime Show


The photo above is from Bruce Springsteen's halftime performance at Sunday's Super Bowl. There is a gallery of stuff by Sports Illustrated at this link if you are interested. Also, below is video from the event in case you missed if or want to relive what was a pretty amazing 12 minutes. Please bear with me if these videos become disabled as I'm sure the copyright police will be out in full force.

Here is part 1:

That One And This One


Saw this bumper sticker actually hanging to point out the front window in front of someone's rear-view the other day as I walked out of the movies. Had to snap a quick cellphone pic so here it is. If you have bad eyes, it says:

I'm voting for

Porrista Pics O' The Day

I know it was Super Bowl Sunday here in America, the United States, the capital of the world, the center of the universe, but that doesn't mean there weren't other things going on outside the mainland. One was Mexican league soccer, and here are its latest contributions. Not sure who cheers for what team, but then again it really doesn't matter now, does it?
