Movies Opening Today (July 3, 2009)

Movie Poster - Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs

Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs - (PG) The sub zero heroes are back. Scrat is still trying to nab the ever elusive nut, while maybe finding true love. Manny and Ellie await the birth of their mini-mammoth. Diego the saber toothed tiger wonders if he’s growing too soft and Sid the sloth gets into trouble when he creates his own makeshift family by hijacking some dinosaur eggs. On a mission to rescue the hapless Sid, the gang ventures into a mysterious underground world, where they have some close encounters with dinosaurs, battle flora and fauna, run amuck and meet a relentless, one eyed, dino-hunting weasel named Buck.

Public Enemies - (R) No one could stop John Dillinger and his gang. No jail could hold him. His charm and audacious jailbreaks endeared him to almost everyone — from his girlfriend Billie Frechette to an American public who had no sympathy for the banks that had plunged the country into the Depression. But while the adventures of Dillinger’ gang — later including Baby Face Nelson and Alvin Karpis — thrilled many, J. Edgar Hoover made Dillinger America’s first Public Enemy Number One and sent in Melvin Purvis, the dashing “Clark Gable of the FBI.” However, Dillinger and his gang outwitted and outgunned Purvis’ men in wild chases and shootouts. Only after importing a crew of Western ex-lawmen (newly baptized as agents) and orchestrating epic betrayals — from the infamous “Lady in Red” to the Chicago crime boss Frank Nitti — were Purvis, the FBI and their new crew of gunfighters able to close in on Dillinger.

The Girl From Monaco - (R) A brilliant and neurotic attorney goes to Monaco to defend a famous criminal. But, instead of focusing on the case, he falls for a beautiful she-devil, who turns him into a complete wreck. Hopefully, his zealous bodyguard will step in and put everything back in order. Or will he?

I Hate Valentine’s Day - (PG-13) Meet Genevieve. She loves romance. She loves flowers. She loves Valentine’s Day. All of which is fitting as the owner of “Roses for Romance,” a quaint flower shop in the heart of a friendly Brooklyn, NY neighborhood. Her one problem is that she hates relationships. Having been hurt numerous times in the past when it comes to matters of the heart, Genevieve keeps herself happy by not letting any one man in. Dating is a game to her, a game she is very good at. Genevieve doesn’t get dumped and never gets hurt because she doesn’t stick around long enough for things to get ugly. Then she meets Greg.

Lion’s Den - (NR) Tells of an ill-fated and beautiful woman who kills her two lovers and later gives birth to a son in prison. She then trys to raise her son behind bars.

Local Color - (R) A successful artist looks back with loving memories on the summer of his defining year, 1974. A talented, but troubled eighteen year old art student befriends an elderly alcoholic genius painter who has turned his back on not only art, but life. The two form what appears to be at first a tenuous relationship. The kid wants to learn all the secrets the master has locked away inside his head and heart. Time has not been kind to the old master. His life appears pointless to him until the kid rekindles his interest in his work and ultimately gives him the will to live. Together, they give one another a priceless gift. The kid learns to see the world through the master’s eyes. And the master learns to see life through the eyes of innocence again.

David & Victoria Beckham Emporio Armani Underwear Ads

david-and-victoria-beckham-emporio-armani-ads-photos

David Beckham and Victoria Beckham, who have been married for ten years (they celebrate their tenth anniversary on July 4th), posed together in nothing but their sexy Emporio Armani underwear for the brand’s new Autumn/Winter 09/10 advertising campaign.

The couple has already posed for Armani ads separately (Victoria Beckham sexy Armani ads, David Beckham sexy Armani ads) but these are definitely the best. Maybe they should be looking at each other instead of appearing to be so emotionally detached, however these ads are supposed to be about the underwear…

Gary Coleman’s wife, Shannon Price, was arrested for domestic violence and disorderly conduct in Santaquin, Utah on Wednesday night (July 1). Shannon, who apparently thrashed a room at their home but did not lay a hand on Gary, was booked for two misdemeanors and released on a $1,205 bail.

Shannon was not happy with how her husband treated her and when cops arrived she was still livid. Shannon “yelled and called officer ‘f***er’ and told officer ‘f**k you and f**k him several times.” Oh, true love is beautiful!

Los Angeles Lakers Sign Ron Artest

Ron Artest Signs with Lakers

Ron Artest has signed a mid-level exception to play for the Los Angeles Lakers. Artest will receive $18 million over three years.

Artest is a skilled enforcer that mixed it up with Lakers star Kobe Bryant on multiple occassions during the 2009 NBA Playoffs. He will add an extra toughness as the Lakers try to defend their championship.

This comes on the day we learned that the Lakers weren’t interesting in giving forward Trevor Ariza more than the same mid-level exception.  Ariza has signed a new deal to play with the Houston Rockets.

So basically the Rockets traded Artest to the Lakers for Ariza.  Perhaps it will be a win-win for both, but for now I am going to chalk this one up as an advantage to the Lakers.

The Cleveland Cavaliers were also interested in signing Artest.

Shaquille O’Neal Reminds Danny Ferry Who’s the Boss

Shaquille O'Neal Press Conference in Cleveland

The Cleveland Cavaliers held a press conference today to introduce Shaquille O’Neal to the local media and fans.  Shaq had a little gift for Cavs GM Danny Ferry, who played in the league for several years and several teams, at the presser.

Shaq brought a photo of himself (see below) and Ferry in a very compromising position from Ferry’s playing days.  Shaq likely brought it as a very public reminder so that Ferry would remember who is the boss at the end of the day.

Shaquille O'Neal Bends Danny Ferry Over

The gesture could also be interpreted several other ways, especially if the acquisition of O’Neal turns out to be a bust for LeBron James’ title hopes.

The Cavs traded Ben Wallace and Sasha Pavlovic to the Phoenix Suns on June 24, 2009 for the future hall-of-famer.

Teacher Crystal Defanti Gives Sex Tape to Students (Video)


Crystal Defanti, a naughty schoolteacher from Isabelle Jackson Elementary School, wanted to make a DVD for her students with memories of their school year but ended up accidentally including x-rated scenes from one of her intimate sex tapes.

After sending the DVD home to her students, Crystal found out about her horrible mistake and immediately called parents crying and apologizing in an attempt to prevent more students from seeing her in some very nude, compromising, sexually explicit scenes.

The good teacher will be punished but is unlikely to lose her job as parents understand she did not intend for it to happen. Now the biggest problem for the parents will be explaining what exactly they saw on that DVD…

Jim Leyritz Arrested For Beating Karrie Leyritz (Photos)

jim-leyritz-pictures

Former Yankee player Jim Leyritz was arrested after beating up and dragging his ex-wife Karrie Leyritz out of bed because she had written a check without his permission early Thursday (June 2).

Karrie fled to the neighbor’s house for help and her ex-husband was only arrested later since he wasn’t at the home when cops arrived. Jim, who should be arraigned today, claims his ex-wife was drunk and hurt herself to frame him – something that was confirmed by one of their three kids – because he tried to evict her from the house they still share.

This incident occurred just a couple of month before Jim is to stand trial on charges of causing a fatal crash while driving drunk back in December 2007. The 45 year-old former catcher says he is still tormented by the death of Fredia Ann Veitch, victim of the crash.

Pet Python Snake Kills Baby Shaiunna Hare (Photos)

burmese-python-kills-baby-photos

Shaiunna Hare, a 2 year-old girl from Florida, was strangled during sleep in her crib by an 8-foot, 5-inch pet Burmese python that had escaped its aquarium on Wednesday (June 1). The girl’s mother Jaren Ashley Hare, 21, lives with her boyfriend Charles Jason Darnell, 32, and they did not have a permit for the snake.

A 911 call was made from the house by a sobbing caller who screamed, “The baby’s dead! Our stupid snake got out in the middle of the night and strangled the baby. She got out of the cage last night and got into the baby’s crib and strangled her to death.”

When paramedics arrived the little girl was already dead, despite Darnell’s attempt to get the snake away from her by repeatedly stabbing the python. Darnell did not have the $100 permit required to own a python in Florida, which is a second-degree misdemeanor and he also might be charged for child neglect.

George Van Horn, owner of Reptile World Serpentarium in St. Cloud, said the strangulation could have occurred because the snake felt threatened or because it thought the child was food. “They are always operating on instinct,” he said. “Even the largest person can become overpowered by a python.”

UPDATE 2: Michael Jackson’s Funeral / Memorial Staples Center Tickets Info & Details

A star-studded memorial service for Michael Jackson is being prepared at the Staples Center in Los Angeles on July 7, 2009. VIP guests, friends and family will be seated on the main floor, while the real fans will have to pay $25 to sit in the stands, according to RadarOnline.

The lucky fans to get their tickets will also be able to buy “This Is It” tour paraphernalia so nothing goes to waste. I wonder if there is nothing else for Papa Joe Jackson to sell…

The memorial service, which will feel like a concert production featuring guest speakers, a lot of music and video screens inside and outside of Staples, will be followed by a parade of elephants and circus performers. Michael Jackson’s funeral will be the greatest in history.
