Rate-a-Trailer: I Am Legend

A fiction teacher I once had was fond of reminding everyone that the most compelling story is the simplest: "The last man on Earth heard a knock at the door." And in Hollywood, if that man is Will Smith, that yarn has blockbuster potential. I have to admit, I am intrigued by the trailer launched this week. I appreciate the less-is-more approach; the imagery is memorable, the revelation minimal. And—bless the trailer editors—there is no close-up of Will's canine companion. This is a true old-school trailer, dangling the carrot. I am biting. You?

Britney, not very sexy! Parker least sexy

Sarah Jessica Parker has topped a poll no female star would ever want to be seen on -- 'The Unsexiest Woman Of The Year'.

The poll was carried out by men's magazine Maxim and appears in its latest edition.

According to the mag, Parker was the "least sexy woman in a group of very unsexy women" that ironically starred in a show with the word "sex" in the title.

Coming in number second on the list was British singer Amy Winehouse thanks to her "hemorrhaging translucent skin, rat's nest mane and lashes that look more like surgically attached bats", reports the Sydney Morning Herald.

Third spot went to 'Grey's Anatomy' star Sandra Oh at No. 3 for her "cold bedside manner and boyish figure".

The top five was rounded off by pop star Madonna [Images] and Britney Spears [Images] who came in fourth and fifth place respectively.

Madge came in at No. 4 spot for her "self-righteous bellyaching and rapid postnuptial deterioration."

Britney was at No. 5 for "losing the ability to perform" as well as the fact that she has two children, two ex-husbands and has put on weight.

My picks for People's Sexiest Fan Alive

Major League Baseball is finally doing something that sparks my interest.

The MLB is teaming up with PEOPLE magazine to chose the Sexiest Fan Alive!

No big surprise, but there a bunch of straight guys and former cheerleader/ sorority girls.

There are however a few hotties on the list, and since you get 5 votes every day... you can be a greedy as you want!

My favorite is, of course, the shaggy haired Californian. Oakland Athletics fan Grant Tonelli (pictured here) got four of my votes. Grant is pretty to look at and seems the most spontaneous. Tonelli's pitch for your vote says he likes to collect Oakland gear and wear it to different stadiums. Every gay man's dream... a hot guy who likes to shop and travel!

Cubs fan Christopher Noonan is next on my list. Noonan seems like the drunk guy at the bar who may not be afraid to give body shots off his abs if the Chicago is winning! Grant got one of my votes. His smile is gorgeous, but his hair needs some work!

Boston Red Sox's sexiest fan Chris Piela is leading with only one day left to vote, so unless someone really pulls out from behind (no pun intended), then he'll probably be voted People's Sexiest Fan Alive.

There are some other lesser attractive guys and a few women, I think.

Voting ends on Friday, October 26th.

Trio Shares Nobel Prize in Medicine

U.S. citizens Mario R. Capecchi and Oliver Smithies and Briton Sir Martin J. Evans won the 2007 Nobel Prize in medicine on Monday for groundbreaking discoveries that led to a technique for manipulating mouse genes.

The widely used process has helped scientists use mice to study heart disease, diabetes, cancer, cystic fibrosis and other diseases.

Capecchi, 70, who was born in Italy, is at the University of Utah in Salt Lake City. Smithies, 82, born in Britain, is at the University of North Carolina in Chapel Hill. Evans is at Cardiff University in England.

They were honored for a technique called gene targeting, which lets scientists inactivate or modify particular genes in mice. That in turn lets them study how those genes affect health and disease.

The first mice with genes manipulated in this way were announced in 1989. More than 10,000 different genes in mice have been studied in this way, the Nobel committee said. That's about half the genes the rodents have.

"Gene targeting has pervaded all fields of biomedicine. Its impact on the understanding of gene function and its benefits to mankind will continue to increase over many years to come," the award citation said.



Capecchi's work has uncovered the roles of genes involved in organ development in mammals, the committee said. Evans has developed strains of gene-altered mice to study cystic fibrosis, and Smithies has created strains to study such conditions as high blood pressure and heart disease.

TV Recap: The Office - Dunder Mifflin Infinity

We always knew Ryan was kind of a douche but he really outdid himself on tonight’s episode of The Office, titled “Dunder-Mifflin Infinity.” To say that Ryan’s recent promotion has gone to his head (literally) would be a major understatement. Fortunately for us, his huge ego boost has added a whole new level of hilarity to the series and I’m really hoping to see more of Ryan-Infinity in the episodes to come.

“That is what Ryan is like: A fake brother who steals your jeans.” In an effort to upgrade the Scranton branch to the new “Dunder-Mifflin Infinity” plan, Ryan, equipped with a full vocabulary of corporate lingo, a story about meeting Vince Vaughn, a beard and a $200 haircut sauntered into the office ready to turn the place upside down. Poor Ryan probably expected everyone to take him and his man-stubble seriously but this was not to be the case. On arrival he was greeted by an onslaught of noogies, some teasing about his new look and even a reference to the office-fire-incident brought on by an over-cooked cheesy pita (see: “The Fire,” Season 2).

Kelly, who dressed up like she was attending a cotillion, ignored Ryan’s attempts to ignore her, told him she was dating a lot (“black guys, mostly”) and confessed that she was carrying his baby. A minor fib that he eventually found out about but not until after she got him to take her out to dinner. Ryan then tried to get her outsourced to India but failed. Michael seemed just as emotionally affected by Ryan’s presence as Kelly was when he compared Ryan to the exchange-student his parents took in who, when he returned to his home country, took all of Michael’s jeans with him forcing Michael to have to wear shorts all winter.

“I would like to see a website deliver baskets of food to people.” Creed became justifiably paranoid that corporate was going to start weeding out the old people so, after confronting Michael about this, he donned a hair piece and started saying things like “cool beans” and “later skater.” Michael wanting to prove that technology is a bad idea, attempted to win back old clients using “the original instant message – letters attached to baskets of food.” He and Dwight’s attempts failed and due to Michael’s insistence on following the rental car’s GPS instructions, they ended up in Lake Scranton. This one wins the over-the-top (and not really in a good way) award for the episode. Though it was hilarious when Michael swore (and was bleeped out).

“I guess he cant get any girl he wants” With regards to Ryan, out of everyone in the office, Jan and Pam (and Jim, in a way) were the only ones to really manage to get in a few punches. While Pam’s wasn’t really intentional, Jan’s certainly was. She was in the office having lunch with Michael when she ran into Ryan. There was some obvious awkwardness but Jan ignored that long enough to talk down to Ryan (who has her old job). He tried to remind her that she was fired and that he’s got her position but she threw it back at him by pointing out that he doesn’t have her old salary and she topped it off by saying, “Love the beard – keep it forever.”

Meanwhile, after Pam showed Ryan some of her attempts at a new logo, Ryan tried to flirt with her. No. He didn’t flirt with her. He bluntly asked her to dinner, adding “wear something nice.” before Pam had the chance to explain that she’s with Jim now. Correct me if I’m wrong but isn’t this the second time Ryan’s gone after Jim’s girl and gotten shot down? Though Ryan told the story differently, we all know what really happened. Jim, who had to sit through Kevin and Andy swooning over Ryan’s awesomeness surely felt vindicated after witnessing Pam reject Ryan.

“We should’ve started dating a long time ago.” When Toby spied Pam planting a kiss on Jim in the break room, he issued a memo warning employees about public displays of affection. At first I thought this was just Toby being Mr. H.R. Man but then I remembered that the mumbling divorcee has always had a thing for Pam! Even when Pam and Jim admitted to everyone that they were dating, Toby refused to take it seriously. He wouldn’t even let them sign a the infamous love-form, telling them that they should just wait and see how things go. Poor Toby.

“Cauliflower and noodles. Baked potato on the side” Angela just cant get over what Dwight did to Sprinkles. Let this be a lesson to all you guys out there – never kill a woman’s cat. So while PB&J’s love is thriving, Angela and Dwight are kaput. She dumped him over noodles and Dwight did not take it well. He spent his entire adventure with Michael trying not to cry and treating the ex-clients as though they were the one to crush his heart.

Boy, these supersized episodes sure are full of drama! I have to say though, while last week’s episode was funny, I felt it lacked the usual rhythm of the show. I’m pleased to say that based on tonight’s episode, it looks like the season is getting back on track! More Ryan-Infinity please!

Anna Nicole Smith Death Photos For Sale?

The exploitation of Anna Nicole Smith may continue. When the former Playboy playmate died there were rumors that someone had snapped away as her body lay lifeless in a hotel in Florida. She was but 39 years old when she passed away in February of this year at Hard Rock Hotel & Casino, where she was staying with her companion, Howard K. Stern.

Flashback to February: "At 2:49 this afternoon we were advised by hospital personnel that Anna Nicole Smith died," Seminole, Fla., police Chief Charlie Tiger told reporters. "Our thoughts and prayers go out to the family."
Smith passed just a short five months after her 20-year-old son, Daniel, died in his Anna's Bahamas hospital room. Daniel's death came just three days after Smith gave birth to daughter Dannielynn Hope.

So who has this alleged photo? Hollyscoop reports that they have spoke with a person that has laid eyes on the photo and it doesn't sound pretty. According to the report she is nude and has vomit on her face. It is not known who snapped this photo, but it is for sale to the highest bidder according to this report. How sad and pathetic.
