William Levy to play Christian Grey in Fifty Shades of Grey

Dancing with the Stars” fans went wild for 32 year old William Levy and his shirtless moves last season. Now it looks like showing off his hot bod could land him the role of Christian Grey in the much anticipated “Fifty Shades of Grey” movie… if his followers have a say.
 
Extra’s Mario Lopez caught up with the actor/dancer/model at The Grove and found out Levy has already read the book. I like the book, actually,” he said. “I think all guys should be like that.”


I dont care much for that book, I dont think it's exciting enough, lol. It's like going back to the days of High school and reading one of Penny Jordan's M & B's. The book is hot for teenagers but not for adults (My opinion, lol).
I will watch the movie though just to stare at William Levy's hot body (make my Husband catch me lol).

Usher's eleven-year-old stepson has been declared brain dead after an accident involving a jet ski.

Malware may knock thousands off Internet on Monday


Culled from FOX News:
The warnings about the Internet problem have been splashed across Facebook and Google. Internet service providers have sent notices, and the FBI set up a special website.
But tens of thousands of Americans may still lose their Internet service Monday unless they do a quick check of their computers for malware that could have taken over their machines more than a year ago.
Despite repeated alerts, the number of computers that probably are infected is more than 277,000 worldwide, down from about 360,000 in April. Of those still infected, the FBI believes that about 64,000 are in the United States.
Users whose computers are still infected Monday will lose their ability to go online, and they will have to call their service providers for help deleting the malware and reconnecting to the Internet.
The problem began when international hackers ran an online advertising scam to take control of more than 570,000 infected computers around the world. When the FBI went in to take down the hackers late last year, agents realized that if they turned off the malicious servers being used to control the computers, all the victims would lose their Internet service.

Hero Lifeguard fired for trying to save man's life

Update 07/06/2012: The company gave him back his job after the investigation.

Tomas Lopez, a 21-year-old lifeguard, was fired on Monday after he left his station to help a man who had been pulled out of the water in an unprotected area of Hallandale Beach. According to the Orlando Sun Sentinel, Lopez and an off-duty nurse tended to the man, a 21-year-old from Estonia, until paramedics arrived. The man who is recovering at a local hospital was in a "swim at your own risk" area of the beach about 1,500 feet south of the boundary lifeguards are expected to patrol.
"I was on stand, and guests came up to me and told me there was someone drowning, that people were screaming and so I started running in the direction," Lopez said. "I ran out to do the job I was trained to do, I didn't think about it at all."

9 year old California student working on college degree

Like many students across the U.S., Tanishq Abraham enjoys studying the sciences and hopes to earn a college degree.
The difference: He's only 9 years old.

"He's pushing us," his father Bijou, jokes to Fox40.
Tanishq, who can even be found giving guest lectures, says he isn't fazed by being around those older than him.
"I don't mind interacting with other college students," he says. "I like it."

Chad Ochocinco's generosity

Chad Ochocinco
A woman named Cheryl took to Twitter this afternoon, hurting over the recent loss of her husband of 30 years. She asked, Chad Ochocinco, NFL wide receiver for the Miami Dolphins for his prayers.
Chad who's getting married tomorrow, Wednesday, July 4th did something very mind blowing, sweet, kind and generous.
Here's the conversation that followed. If it doesn't give you at least a mild case of the warm and fuzzies, your warm and fuzzy mechanism is broken.

Michael Jordan's son arrested

Who smiles on their mug shots? He must be a happy drunk, lol.
Central Florida basketball player, 21 year old Marcus Jordan, youngest son of former NBA great Michael Jordan, was arrested in Omaha early Sunday following a disturbance outside a downtown hotel.

Pregnant Snooki pushes baby stroller filled with beer


Jersey Shore's Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi, who is expecting her first child with fiance Jionni LaValle, stepped out in Seaside Heights, N.J. on Monday pushing a baby stroller filled with a 12 pack of Coors beer plus soda.

The mom-to-be put her new baby stroller to the test by loading it up with party supplies. Snooki, 24, showed off her growing baby bump and ditched her usually high platform heels for flip flops to push the big load.
The pregnant star must have been picking up the treats for her Jersey Shore pals because Snooki has, of course, quit drinking.

Snoop Dogg’s son lands football scholarship offer from UCLA

When UCLA offered Cordell Broadus a scholarship, the Bruins were doing more than trying to attract a promising sophomore wide receiver and defensive back for Diamond Bar (Calif.) High. In essence, the program was staking a claim to territory in the L.A. pop culture spotlight, for one very clear reason: Cordell Broadus is Snoop Dogg's son.
Snoop Dogg's son Cordell Broadus — Facebook

As reported by the ESPNLA and the National Football Post, UCLA coach Jim Mora Jr. recently offered a scholarship to Broadus, despite the fact that the rising sophomore has spent just one year in high school, and played on the Diamond Bar freshman squad during that campaign. At 6-foot-2 and 185 pounds, the younger Broadus, Snoop Dogg's legal name is Calvin Broadus, has a body which could develop into that of a legitimate Division I prospect, but no one knows whether he'll continue to grow.

Mom gives up child to be with a man

I read this post on the page of a friend's friend's page and was appalled.

How dare you send your only child to Foster care cos you are tired of being lonely and want to be with a man?? If a man doesn't want you because you have a child, then maybe he's not worth your time.
I know it's her business and he's her son but I will LOVE to tell this chick what I think about her irresponsible behavior. On the other hand, the son may be better off without her in his life. SMH!!

Anger Management scores biggest comedy debut in cable history

Charlie Sheen's new FX comedy "Anger Management" debuted to huge numbers last night, scoring the biggest scripted comedy debut in cable history. It pulled in 5.47 million total viewers, with 2.65 million of those in the coveted adults 18-49 demographic; that's the biggest series premiere in FX history. And even better news for Sheen and FX: The audience grew as the hour went on, with an audience of 5.74 million viewers tuning in for "Anger's" second half-hour.

These ratings seem certain to trigger a renewal order from FX, which, in an unusual arrangement, will lead to another 90 episodes of "Anger" being produced. And show runner Bruce Helford says his writing staff will soon get back to work dreaming up new stories for Sheen and company for Season 2.

Snoop Dogg busted in Norway with marijuana and cash

Norwegian media are reporting that Snoop Dogg was briefly detained in Norway after entering the country with marijuana and a large amount of cash.
Customs officials decline to confirm the report, saying only that an American artist entered Norway with a small amount of marijuana that was detected by a sniffer-dog. Norwegian law prevents law enforcement officials from naming suspects.

A customs officer who spoke on condition of anonymity said Thursday that the artist was also carrying more cash than is legally allowed and was subsequently fined 52,000 kroner ($8,600) for the violations.

Snoop Dogg was scheduled to perform today at a musical festival in the southern town of Kristiansand.

David Beckham not selected for Britain's Olympic squad

Former England captain David Beckham was not selected to the British football team for the London Olympics.
The Los Angeles Galaxy midfielder made Britain coach Stuart Pearce's shortlist of 35 but wasn't selected for the final 18-man squad as one of three players over the age of 23 allowed to compete in the games.
"Everyone knows how much playing for my country has always meant to me, so I would have been honored to have been part of this unique Team GB squad," the 37-year-old Beckham said today.

Beckham had been widely expected to be selected for the Olympic squad after playing an instrumental role in in helping Sebastian Coe and his team win the bid in 2005 to host the games.
"Naturally I am very disappointed, but there will be no bigger supporter of the team than me. And like everyone, I will be hoping they can win the gold.
"As a Londoner, I will have been really proud to have played a small part in bringing the Olympics to my home town as part of Seb's team, and I can't wait for the games to begin and enjoy every moment along with the rest of Great Britain," Beckham said.
Britain's three overage players will be Welsh stars Ryan Giggs and Craig Bellamy and English defender Micah Richards, a person familiar with the situation said.

I am sure a lot of people were looking forward to ogling his sexy body seeing him play at the Olympics but ..Oh well.

Yves Saint Laurent name change may bring sophistication back

When it was announced last week that Yves Saint Laurent was changing the name of its ready-to-wear line to Saint Laurent Paris, fashion purists went into a tweeting tizzy.
What about the brand's legacy? What does this mean for luxury? How will YSL survive?
Frankly, it's the best way for the Paris-based fashion house to move forward.

Although the YSL logo will remain on handbags, shoes, cosmetics and its boutiques, I'm betting it's only a matter of time before the company goes full throttle Saint Laurent Paris.
Here is why:
The custom-letter logo — created by graphic designer Adolphe Cassandre in 1961 — is, well, everywhere.
The brand may still have luxe prices — a handbag will run you about $2,000 and dresses range from $500 to $700 — but who can claim exclusivity when everyone seems to own a piece of it, real or knock off?
Reality housewives, basketball wives and starting Wednesday, Hollywood's ex-wives ( I am soo looking forward to seeing Will Smith's, Eddie Murphy's and R Kelly's ex wives tonight on the show's premier)  and , have all but killed the cache of luxury. How classy is a label when Atlanta Housewife NeNe (Cant stand her) "I'm very rich bitch" Leakes is dropping F-bombs while wearing YSL shoes, holding a YSL bag and rocking YSL pants? The so-called sophistication of high-end brands diminishes with every reality television show episode.
What's a luxury label to do?

Deserve to Die posters pop up in some U.S. cities

A provocative advertising campaign that declares hipsters, cat lovers and crazy old aunts "deserve to die" is popping up in major American cities, including New York, Chicago, Seattle and New Orleans.
The posters, placed on telephone booths and bus terminals, do not say what the campaign is for, but a quick online search leads to a website NoOneDeservesToDie.org that includes a countdown clock ticking down the minutes until midnight Thursday, when the "killer" is supposed to be revealed.

Who wore it better?

Rachael Ray turned heads at the 39th Annual Daytime Emmy Awards last weekend in a sexy Marc Bouwer dress. Turns out, Kim Kardashian wore the same black frock last year on the “Late Show with David Letterman.” The only difference? The celeb chef paired the curve-hugging dress with some chic sandals and a clutch. Who do you think wore the dress best?

Octomom Nadya Suleman's new boyfriend

Nadya Suleman, the mother of 14 children, who just starred in a porn movie to help raise enough money to feed her kids has a new boyfriend, Frankie Grageda. Frankie is a 23-year-old amateur bodybuilder whose perma-tan gives him an orange-brown glow. I no fit laff. He looks like one of those Orange men in the old Lagos Miranda drink commercial (The three orange men, lol).

The couple claim to be serious and have been dating for two months. I think he's only trying to promote himself by looking for cheap publicitiy. It's none of my business but this woman has 14 children that she's trying to raise. Her youngest kids are eight 3 year olds, does he really think she wants a 15th child? He says it's overwhelming to have so many children around them but that he's coping and taking it one step at a time.

Chris Brown and Drake offered $1Million to fight each other

Celebrity boxing promoter Damon Feldman is hoping to capitalize on the alleged nightclub brawl between singer Chris Brown and rapper Drake by offering them a million dollars each to take their beef to the ring.
The promoter also says he is asking singer Rihanna to be the  ring girl -carrying a sign that displays the number of the upcoming round, but acknowledged she’ll likely pass.
Damon Feldman says he has the financial backing of billionaire businessman Alki David, and that he’ll donate a million to a charity that helps abused women if the fight takes place.

Saudi Arabia will enter women for London Olympics

Good News!!

Saudi Arabia will enter women athletes in the Olympics for the first time ever in London this summer, the Islamic kingdom's London embassy said on Sunday. Huraay!!
Human rights groups had called on the International Olympic Committee to bar Saudi Arabia from competing in London, citing its failure ever to send a woman athlete to a Games and its ban on sports in girls' state schools.
Members of the first female Saudi basketball team "Jeddah United" in  March 2012
Powerful Muslim clerics in the ultra-conservative state have repeatedly spoken out against the participation of girls and women in sports. In 2009 a senior cleric said girls risked losing their virginity by tearing their hymens if they took part in energetic sport. (Ok, and..??)
