Can you believe that Nia Peeples is 46 years old going on 47? Yup, it’s true. Or at least, if you believe IMDB.com, and really, how could you not believe IMDB.com? Usually when an actress’s age is wrong on IMDB.com, someone corrects it pretty quickly. So yeah, Nia Peeples, Nicole Chapman from Fame and Sydney Cooke from Walker, Texas Ranger (and come on, who doesn’t watch Walker, Texas Ranger? It’s not only about Walker, but he’s also a Texas Ranger!), is 46 years old this year. Currently you can catch her on The Young and the Restless, probably playing someone’s mom. Or not. Hey, it’s not like I actually watch daytime soaps, mind you. By the way, did I mention that Nia Peeples is really hot for a 46-year old broad?

Let’s face it, I could go on and on and pretend I know who the hell Natalia Jerez is, but I’m not, because that’s just how it’s gonna be today. Maybe on another day I’ll pull out the bullshit shovel and start shovelin’, but why bother? I blame it on my ability to be lazy at the drop of a hat. Anyhoo, she is a Latina who may or may not be Colombian (what am I, the Latin detector?), and is the host of something called Isla de los famosos: Una aventura Maya – Colombia, La, according to IMDB.com. But never mind all that background noise. Here’s a pictorial she did for Soho, including the video because that’s just how I roll.

Holy crap! Did you just see that? Yup, it was live and it was real — a ball girl at a Triple A baseball game (that’s minor league for those of you who don’t habla baseball) really did just leap into the far wall, pushed off once, landed on another wall, and caught a flying baseball coming at her at who knows how many miles per second with a simple twist of her body. Take a look at the outfielder’s reaction when the girl tosses him the ball and casually runs back to her chair to take her seat. Holy cow! Someone either get this girl a gymnastics scholarship or sign her up for the WNBA! See for yourself. Quite possibly the most amazing catch I’ve seen on a baseball field — by a girl!

Is this close-circuit video of a bus brawl between an unruly 15-year old female student and a ticked off 47-year old female bus driver funny or tragic, or both? And come on, admit it, if you were the bus driver, you would have punch the 15-year old, like, the first time she screamed at you while still talking on the phone. Hey, kids nowadays, right? I personally blame it on the MTV they’re always watching. That and videogames. Er, anything else I can blame this “kids are bad” stuff on? I kinda lose track. All the ADD from watching MTV, you know. Wait, where was I? Oh right, bus brawl. Dude, check it out, chicks fighting on a bus!

God Bless the Japanese. I swear, if you looked up the words, “The World’s Craziest Game Shows”, you’d see the words, “See the Japanese people.” Because let’s face it, people, who else but the Japanese would think of a game show where nubile young girls put meat on their head, poke their heads up a hole, and let a Komodo dragon run around trying to eat the meat off their heads. The premise is that the girl who stays in her hole (har har) the longest wins. Obviously, the Japanese girls not being total idiots, most of them loses almost instantly. You HAVE to see this thing for yourself. I swear, God bless the Japanese.

Nobody knows how good Utah Jazz point guard Deron Williams is than Houston Rockets fan. Williams torched the Rockets good in last year’s play-offs, and this year he’s back at it again. Check out Williams, doing his second tour of duty in the NBA, handing out two killer cross-overs on former teammate (and current L.A. Lakers) Derek Fisher. One word: SICK. You gotta wonder what Fisher said to Williams later: “Dude, we used to be teammates! How could you do me like that!” Or something like that.

Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare has got to be the best damn shooter of 2007. Or at least in my opinion it is. But then again, I’ve always been a rabid fan of the COD game series. They started out as World War II first-person shooters, but by the third installment I guess the makers of the game realized that WWII was worn out, so they brought the series to the modern age. COD 4: Modern Warfare is the result. The weapons are just excellent, and the action is extremely entertaining. The game itself was way too short in my mind, but that might be because I’m so used to the COD games that I literally ran through them in pretty fast order. But if you’ve never played the COD games, or if you’ve never played a first-person shooter, period, you gotta grab a copy of COD 4. Check out the trailer for it below.

Rocky, the hero of the first Child Beater — okay, okay, so calling him “hero” is a bit much, but he was the star — returns to take on the two kids that beat his sorry ass last time around. This time, though, Rocky has a secret weapon — he’s brought his 2X4 with him, and he’s ready to get some sweet vengeance via Walking Tall. If you thought watching a grown man kick and flip kids around was fun, watch him go at them with a 2X2. Okay, okay, so it’s not really a 2X4, it’s more like one of those snow, children’s toys that breaks apart when you hit someone with it. Anyways, it’s still funny as hell. I’d love to get a DVD of this if I could, I’m laughing my ass off here.

Man, this is just so wrong. Seriously, if there was a meter for righteousness and wrongness, this would be right up there with Totally Frakkin Wrong. I mean, holy crap. It’s some video of a guy name Rocky who goes around challenging and fighting, well, kids, thus earning him the moniker, “Child Beater”. It’s all a goof, of course, but the way Rocky is throwing those kids around — holy crap, that is just so wrong, man. Funny as hell, but oh so wrong. So am I bad guy for laughing at this? I mean, it’s so blasted funny! But, again, it’s just so wrong, man, so wrong on so many levels…

Major League Baseball picture Randy Johnson is a baaaaaaaaaad man. He’s a towering inferno (hey, they don’t call the guy “The Big Unit” because he drives a big car, you know), and he pitches 100 miles per hour on a bad day. And to complete that great resume? The guy can nail a bird at 95 miles per hour. No, really. Here’s that infamous video of Randy Johnson on the mound, pitching, when a poor bird flies right across the plate and — BOOM!!! White bird feathers everywhere as Johnson’s fastball nails the sucker and literally EXPLODES the animal. It’s either the greatest baseball pitch in history, or the most sad, depending on how you feel about, well, taking out birds with a baseball. You decide.

Everybody and their momma has done a parody of the “300″ movie trailer once or twice or 100 times or so, so it’s no surprise that the guys over at Cartoon Network’s Robot Chicken finally got around to it. But of course, this being Robot Chicken, their parody is a lot funnier than pretty much everyone else’s in my opinion. If you’ve never seen Robot Chicken, it’s a bunch of sketches using puppets and action figures, and about 99% of the voice work is done by Seth Green, that guy from the Austin Powers movies. Green was also a star on Buffy the Vampire Slayer and plays Chris on Family Guy. He’s one funny dude, and Robot Chicken is killer comedy. Here’s their parody of 300 — 1776! I only have one thing to say: “This … is … AMERICA!”

Our Random Foreign Babe of the Day is one Anette Olzon, who sounds and looks a lot like Evanescence’s Amy Lee, but is Swedish and part of the band Nightwish. According to the net, the band’s genre is called “symphonic power metal”, which basically means it’s loud instrumentals fronted by Anette Olzon’s sweet, sweet ass voice. Check out some pictures of Nightwish’s lead singer and a music video for the band’s song Nemo. I think you’ll agree that looking great and sounding great is basically the bonanza, and the two things are not necessarily a mutually synonymous in the world of music.

I am really digging NBC’s remake of The Bionic Woman. Or, actually, just Bionic Woman, minus the “The” part. I don’t know why, that’s just what the show goes by. Lame, I know, but what’s not lame is the show itself. Michelle Ryan stars as a bartender with no career path who gets side-swipe one day by a woman who just happens to be the former Bionic Woman. Ryan ends up being the next incarnation of the Bionic Woman, and gets to do cool things like beat the crap out of people. The pilot’s best scene features a dual between the former and present bionic woman in the rain. It’s cool stuff. The show is just as cool, and Michelle Ryan, though she didn’t really grow on me in the beginning, is starting to. Of course the fact that she’s hot doesn’t hurt. Great show. I would recommend you give it a shot if you haven’t yet. It could very well be the next Alias.

Holy Mother of God. How unfunny is this trailer for the new sports-themed parody comedy “The Comebacks”? I swear to God, shouldn’t trailers for comedies be filled to the brim with all of the movie’s best jokes? So putting that theory into practice, does this then mean that the makers of “The Comebacks” have squeezed the funniest jokes their movie could muster into their trailer? And if that’s the case, does the fact that there is absolutely nothing funny about the trailer make “The Comebacks” then, well, a comedy without any comedy? Jesus H. Christ. How could you go so wrong parodying sports movie cliches? South Park has done a million times better than this in a 20-minute episode!

It’s not everyday I hear a song on the radio and then run to the net to Google the singer. Well I did hear a song that was so good I had to find out who the singer was. Her name is KT Tunstall, a Scottish singler/songwriter and, yes, she actually knows how to play instruments. I know, what a novelty, right? The girl can do it all, and she’s got a pretty incredible voice to boot. In 2007, the Grammys nominated her for Best Female Pop Vocal Performance for her song “Black Horse and the Cherry Tree, but she lost to that howling coyote Christina Aguilera, who hasn’t sang a decent song since she convinced herself people wants to hear her screech like a rabid dog in every single song. Another good thing about Tunstall? She’s really outspoken and has a tendency to piss people off! Check out pictures and a video of Tunstall.

Brazilian model, actress, and former Brazil MTV VJ Fernanda Lima has mentioned on her blog that she recently auditioned for a role in the upcoming Bond 22 movie, most likely playing a really hot Brazilian girl who James Bond meets and a minute later is doing the horizontal mambo with. Or in this case, the vertical salsa. You know, because that’s how James Bond likes to roll. No idea if she got the role or not, but hey, the Bond producers could do worst than hire her. The girl is certainly hot enough, and if the Bond movies are known for one thing, it’s their amazing display of eye candy. Check out a video of Fernanda Lima. This girl looks smoking in her pictures, but she actually looks even better moving around in video form!

“A former police officer returns to the force after having been wrongly imprisoned for years.” Trust me, the actual show is a hell of a lot better than that brief, one-line synopsis of NBC’s show Life. I don’t know how Life is doing in the ratings, but I’m telling you this — you MUST watch this show. It’s probably the best new thing on TV right now. It stars Damian Lewis and Sarah Shahi as mismatched partners solving crimes in L.A. Lewis plays Charlie Crews, the cop who was wrongly convicted, and is now out and about, determined to solve his own frame-up. Only he tells people he doesn’t care to solve it, but in fact he’s obsessed with it. Basically, it’s a damn good show, and you need to start watching it on Wednesdays at 10/9c on NBC.

Israeli supermodel Bar Refaeli, aka Notch #551 on Leonardo DiCaprio’s list of supermodel conquests, is a draft dodger, and she’s damn proud of it. The supermodel recently told Israel’s Yedioth Ahronoth newspaper: “I don’t regret not having been drafted into the army, because I made out big. “Why is it good to die for one’s country? Isn’t it better to live in New York?” And hey, why wouldn’t she feel that way? She’s 22, she’s dating a mega movie star, and she gets paid oodles of money for strutting around in her undies. That’s basically my dream job! Refaeli even goes on to bash Israel, referencing an incident earlier when the country’s paparazzi got into a brouhaha with DiCaprio’s bodyguards, saying: “I won’t bring anyone famous to Israel any more because there is a chutzpah here that you won’t see anywhere else.” You have GOT to be pretty hot to get away with saying those things. Luckily for her, Bar Refaeli qualifies.

Man, I love Steve Francis. Not in the Brokeback Mountain sort of way, mind you, but in the, “Wow, I dig this guy’s game,” sort of way. Steve Francis started his career as a Houston Rocket before he got shipped off to Orlando, New York, and God knows how many other cities he ended up before finally returning to Houston this year. Welcome back, Stevie Franchise! We’ve missed you, bro! Now check out this monster put-back dunk by Stevie against the New Orleans Hornets. This was a pre-season game from earlier this week, and the basket didn’t count — they called a foul on Stevie. Can you believe that? No one calls a foul on the guy who pulls the put-back dunk! It’s like, an unofficial NBA rule or something. You just don’t call that foul, you zebra idiots! Great dunk anyway.

Sam Jackson kicks the ass of that punk who played young Darth Vader in “Jumper”: A genetic anomaly allows a young man to teleport himself anywhere. He discovers this gift has existed for centuries and finds himself in a war that has been raging for thousands of years between “Jumpers” and those who have sworn to kill them. From the director of The Bourne Identity and Mr. and Mrs. Smith — Jumper hits theaters February 15, 2008. Check out the trailer below. It co-stars hotties Rachel Bilson (in the trailer) and Diane Lane (not in the trailer for some reason). Should be fun stuff.
