Is Dragon Fable the Next World of Warcraft?
What is Dragon Fable, and why should you care? Well, unless you’re into role playing games, I guess you wouldn’t care. But for the rest of you, you’ve probably already heard about Dragon Fable. It’s an online browser-based single-player role playing game developed by Artix Entertainment. Created in July 2005, the game went into beta testing on November 21, and on June 6, 2006, the game was officially released. It is implemented in Macromedia Flash and uses anime-style graphics, some of which are animated. It is a prequel to another Artix game, AdventureQuest. The game is updated weekly, with the introduction of new quests and monsters. Find more info on it here.
Ali Larter’s Lapdance Strip Scene From HEROES
If you were watching TV last night, you saw “Heroes” return with a bang — Sylar versus Peter was short and sweet, and that brief Hiro meets Hiro scene at the end was equally too cool for school. But for my money, the best “Heroes” moment of Season One by far was early in the season, when crooked politician Nathan showed up in Vegas, and got a lap dance from Jessica, the alter ego of Niki, played by the gorgeous Ali Larter. And sure, you mostly only see Ali’s butt in these images from that scene, but come on, are you complaining? That is one sweet looking butt!
Fergie in her Underwear; so What Else is New?
Fergie (formerly of the Black Eyed Peas) in her underwear or similar garb is nothing knew; have you seen any of her performances even before she went solo? The woman barely wore anything to begin with. And why not? She’s got one of the best bodies in all of music. It’s just that face that is open to debate. But let’s not talk about that, and let’s just concentrate on the good parts. The body. That wonderful, tight, incredible body. Too bad about the face, though… I think these pictures are from one of her music videos or something. Does it matter? It’s Fergie in her undies.
Windfall’s Alice Greczyn
In case you missed it, the NBC show “Windfall” (about 20 friends who wins the lotto, and then encounters problems associated with their newfound wealth — hey, give me those problems!), barely lasted long enough to make an impression in the line-up before getting canned. It had a pretty good cast, with ex-”24″ cast-off Sarah Wynter, former “Beverly Hills 90210″ bad boy Luke Perry, and of course, the oh so lovely Alice Greczyn. But don’t cry for Alice — she can be seen in two movies in 2007, “An American in China” and “House of Fears”.
French Presidential Candidate Segolene Royal is Hot for a 53 Year Old Socialist
Okay, so maybe she’s French, and you know my stand on the French. And yeah, maybe she is a card carrying member of France’s Socialist Party (I didn’t even know these people had actual parties, I thought they lived in boxes in alleyways and came out every now and then to hold up signs about the end of the world). Still, I’d take Segolene Royal over Hilary Clinton anyday. At the very least, she’s not a bad looking broad for 53, and there are no thunder thighs to wince at. On May 6 she will be facing off against Conservative hardliner Nicolas Sarkozy for the French throne — er, I mean, Presidency. I’d vote for Segolene if I could. It’s not everyday you get a chance to vote in a bangable President, even if she is a Socialist.
Maureen McCormick Had a Crush on Eve Plumb
Oh come on, who didn’t swoon everytime Maureen McCormick’s Marcia Marcia Marcia came into a scene in the original “Brady Bunch” show? There was just something so all-American about that particular Brady that made us addicted to the show. Almost as much as mom Brady, ahem. But I digress. Word is that Maureen McCormick is currently writing her autobiography, which will include juicy tidbits about “behind-the-scenes matters as the crush she used to have on castmate Eve Plumb, and her recent disclosures about how she overcame cocaine addiction and bulimia.” Oooh, you hear that, kids? Marcia used to have a crush on Jan!
Jason Statham in DEATH RACE 2000 Remake Driver’s Seat
The Hollywood Reporter reports that Jason Statham (most recently seen running like a madman, half-naked through the streets of “Crank”, a most underappreciated gem, I thought) is currently in talks to star in the “Death Race 2000″, a remake of schlockmeister Roger Corman’s 1975 “classic”. And yes, I put the word classic in quotes because I get the feeling any movie over 20 years is now considered a “classic” in this day and age of crappy teen slashers and MTV “romantic comedies”. But I digress. The remake will be called “Death Race”, without the “2000″, which I think would have been fun if they had left it in, sort of a wink and a nod, kinda like how Conan still calls his “In the Year 2,000″ skit with the “2,000″ despite it not being the year 2,000 anymore.
HEROES Returns with Chapter 19 “.07 Percent” Today
After what seems like a lengthy hiatus, NBC’s break-through hit “Heroes” returns with an all-new episode, the first of five final episodes before Season 1 concludes. Let’s see, they’ve already saved the cheerleader, and now they have to save the world; then again, I could be wrong, but having seen the “Heroes” commercials on TV about 5,000 times, I’m gonna go with that. Tonight’s episode, “.07 Percent”, is gonna be huge. For one, someone’s gonna die (and if you’ve been following the show, or Googled the show on the net, you pretty much know who), and I can’t wait to see the results of Sylar versus Peter. And we finally get to see what kind of power crimelord Linderman has under his sleeve.
Another Reason to Watch CSI: MIAMI: Eva LaRue
On CBS’ “CSI: Miami” (the “CSI” show not set in Las Vegas or New York, in case you were confused), Eva LaRue plays Natalia Boa Vista, the show’s resident Latina DNA analyst who, as it turned out at the end of Season 4, was actually a FBI rat. But she’s since absconded with that role, and is now a rookie member of the CSI team. And no, I don’t know that from memory, I actually surfed the web to find that particular information, because I don’t watch “CSI: Miami” enough to actually know all the actors. Let’s see, there’s Emily Procter, the guy who used to be on “NYPD Blue”, and, um, Eva Larue. Wait, I’m sure there are more. Right? Anyhoo, here’s Eva LaRue, one more reason to watch “CSI: Miami”.
Kylie Minogue is one Sexy Cyberwoman
Word is that Down Under queen of dancing Kylie Minogue, who had just recently licked the crap out of breast cancer, will now be attempting to dominate and enslave humanity as a sexy Cyberwoman — half woman, half cyborg, all babe. From here: “Australian pop star Kylie Minogue will appear in TV hit series ‘Dr Who’ for its Christmas special, where she will play a sexy cyber woman who tries to lure the doctor played by David Tennant.” I tuned out of Doctor Who after Christopher Eccleston left, but I might just tune back in to catch this one…
Evan Rachel Wood Needs Boyfriend Advice
Actress Evan Rachel Wood is one of the better young actors coming up in Hollywood right now, but unfortunately she’s also got atrocious taste in men. I mean, come on, she’s dating Marilyn Frakkin’ Manson, for God’s sake. Hey, do you realize what’s going on there? Evan Rachel Wood’s first name is “Evan”, a man’s name, and she’s dating Marilyn Manson, a guy with a girl’s name; basically, if they swap their first names, they’d be perfectly normal! But of course that would mean Marilyn would have to give up his “outsider” shtick. (At least Rachel can’t be blamed for her name, her parents named her that; meanwhile, Manson actually picked his fake first name himself.) Anyways, here’s Evan Rachel Wood, gratuitously freaky pictures of Marilyn Manson not included.
Brit Babe Invasion: Tamsin Egerton
Crikey, Tamsin Egerton is one leggy British babe. Usually you don’t them to come with long legs attached; oh sure, Keira Knightley has some legs on her, but she’s also unfathomably skinny, so those legs don’t look quite as good. Tamsin Egerton looks to be a very healthy lass, so the legs are a lot more impressive. Then again, maybe it’s just the way she looks in that white short skirt. Yikes. (She stands 5′10″, by the way.) Where might you have seen Tasmin? She was in “The Mists of Avalon” and had a role in “Sherlock Holmes and the Case of the Silk Stocking”, where Watson tries to determine if his boss is going undercover as a street walker, or if he’s just a freaky cross dresser.
More Moon Bloodgood Goodness
In case you didn’t already know, Moon Bloodgood is part Korean. I’m sure this is true, because if she wasn’t part Korean, that would make her appearance on the cover and interiors of KoreAm (Korean American) magazine somewhat of a cheat. (For the record, she’s party Korean, Irish and Dutch, and a whole lot of sexy.) Besides snagging a role in a movie with Robert DeNiro, Moon was the best thing about the short-lived TV show “Daybreak”, about a cop who keeps going back to the same day. Basically “Groundhog Day” without the comedy. And lots of blood. And Moon.
Aishwarya Rai and Abhishek Bachchan Ties the Knot
On the plus side, this is one kiss that no one in India is going to be filing criminal charges because of. Then again, do they kiss in Indian weddings? Anyhoo, Bollywood’s first couple, Aishwarya Rai and Abhishek Bachchan, have tied the knot in Mumbia, India over the weekend. Considering that there are 20 billion people in India, and most of them are Bollywood (India’s version of Hollywood) nuts, this is surely “the wedding of the century”, as it’s been called by everyone and their momma. Now I know they’re supposed to be happy, but judging from these pictures, neither bride nor groom looks all that enthusiastic. Hmm…
Sundays with Karima Adebibe (aka the Lara Craft Babe)
I’ve never been able to really get into the Lara Croft games. I’ve tried playing them, more than once, but the whole third-person perspective just loses me. Maybe it’s this combination of ADD and a steadfast loyalty to First Person Shooters, but I just can’t get used to controlling a character from such an angle. (Which is strange, because I’ve never really had trouble with the Resident Evil games, and they were third-person, too…) But what was I saying? Oh right, thank God liking or not liking the game has no bearing on your enjoyment of these pictures of Karima Adebibe, the latest Lara Croft model, in all her bikini-clad deliciousness. Which reminds me, I should really make “Sundays with Karima Adebibe” mandatory from now on. Then again, I should really exercise more, but that’s not gonna happen either, so…
Get Your R&B on with Amerie
The title of this post basically tells you just how uncool I am, or have become. Back when the phrase “get your [insert activity of choice here]” was still viable was when I was cool, or not as old as I currently am. But now I don’t even know if the kids (i.e. anyone younger than me) still uses the phrase. Anyways, rather cool or not, you should still get your R&B on with these pics of R&B songstress Amerie, aka Amerie Rogers. Or, if you want to really get technical about it, get your R&B on with Amerie Mi Marie Rogers. There.
Julie Henderson in the 2007 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue
It’s easy to forget about Julie Henderson when the 2007 Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue features girls like Marisa Miller and Beyonce Knowles. But you shouldn’t ignore this Houston, Texas product and her hourglass figure, especially that picture with her and fellow model Jessica White. Now I personally don’t care for the choice of shooting these girls on a football field surrounded by band geeks. I mean, come on, what is the deal? How do you, you know, do your business to a hot girl while she’s surrounded by band geeks? Jesus Christ, guys, give us a break with the “artsy scenarios”, will ya?
Lindsay Lohan Bikini Picture in Allure
Remember the good old days, when you could count on Hollywood’s reigning Teen Drama Queen Lindsay Lohan to show up at least in one bikini outfit per day? Now we go weeks, even months, without seeing her in a leopard stripe two-piece bikini. Then sometimes months go by without a new bikini ensemble for Lilo, as her friends call her, until she shows up in the pages of Allure Magazine to, one presumes, promotes her upcoming movie “Georgia Rules”. But hey, why look a gift horse in the mouth? Lindsay Lohan in a bikini is good, even if it’s an airbrushed one for a high-falutin’ magazine.
Rachael Taylor, the Other TRANSFORMERS Hottie
We all know about Megan Fox, the uber hottie in the upcoming “Transformers” live action movie. But there’s another, a blonde, that we’ve ignored — until now. Her name is Rachael Taylor, and she hails from Down Under (aka Australia), and besides “Transformers”, lovely Rachael Taylor has the horror remake “Shutter” in the works, as well as “The Tourist”. Last year you may or may not recognize her from the slasher flick “See No Evil”, and before that she did time on the Aussie TV series “McLeod’s Daughters”.
Keira Knightley in PIRATES 3 Promos
Keira Knightley returns to kick more scurvy pirate ass (the living and the dead versions, apparently) in “Pirates of the Caribbean 3: At World’s End” May 25th, 2007, but you can catch her here first in some “At World’s End” promos. In part 3, Will Turner (Orlando Bloom), Elizabeth Swann (Keira Knightley) are allied with Captain Barbossa (Geoffrey Rush) in a desperate quest to free Captain Jack Sparrow (Johnny Depp) from his mind-bending trap in Davy Jones’ locker, while the terrifying ghost ship, The Flying Dutchman and Davy Jones, under the control of the East India Trading Company, wreaks havoc across the Seven Seas.
