Download: Slaughterhouse "The One"



Very interesting to here the lyricists that make up Slaughterhouse come up with a single. I can dig it although I don't foresee it being played on the radio or in the clubs anytime soon. But I like the hook.

Tail Report: Bar Rafaeli

Art? I think so.

This one's for all of you Bar Rafaeli fans. Seems the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue covergirl did a little promotional work for an Israeli art exhibit, a video of which can be watched below. I must say, I have a newfound respect for Israeli art.

Beaten Up for Beating It Up

Funny story out of Connecticut, where a group of teens rushed to the rescue of a screaming woman, thwarting her attacker with fists and even a baseball bat. One problem, however: the woman wasn't being attacked—she was screaming in pleasure during sex.

A 16-year-old girl who lives in the same Torrington home as the 34-year-old woman overheard her and the man on June 6 and rounded up four friends to stop what they thought was an attack, police Lt. Bruce Whiteley said Thursday.

One of the five teens beat the man with a bat and others punched him, police said. The man was treated at a hospital for injuries that were not life-threatening, and was released that night.

"Apparently he didn't have time to explain himself," Whiteley said.

Adrian Peterson or Michael Turner?

If you're in a fantasy football league this fall, and you have the first overall pick in your draft, then you have an interesting decision ahead of you. Do you take Michael Turner or Adrian Peterson? The majority of experts seem to lean towards Peterson. I, on the other hand, am leaning toward Turner (though I doubt that I'll be lucky enough to have a shot at either in my fantasy drafts this year); so too, it seems, is Matthew Berry—a.k.a. "The Talented Mr. Roto".
Although not as bad, relatively speaking, as he was two years ago, Peterson again wasn't great down the stretch in 2008, posting a couple of so-so games when you needed your stud the most. Taking out Week 17, when many fantasy leagues don't play, AD scored 11 fantasy points or fewer in three of his final seven games. Turner had just one such performance. Peterson had two games with single-digit fantasy points in that seven-game stretch. Turner had none.

Give me the guy who plays alongside a great quarterback (Matt Ryan), an elite wide receiver (Roddy White) and, as of this offseason, a premier tight end (Tony Gonzalez) to open up the passing game even more, over the guy who still has a bad quarterback (no Brett Favre as of this writing), still has Chester Taylor vulturing touchdowns (five touchdowns from Weeks 9 through 16) and, despite staying healthy last year, still should be considered an injury risk.

I wholly agree, especially with the point Berry makes about Atlanta's passing offense vs. Minnesota's. The difference was significant last year (ATL: 208.5 passing yards per game; MINN: 184.8 passing yards per game). And in this offseason, the Falcons have made moves to further improve their aerial attack, while the Vikes' biggest improvement may be Favre—who really isn't much of an improvement, anyways.

2012

It's been a while since Roland Emmerich tore up the Earth.

The king of disaster is back, and this time it's not just major cities (as in "Independence Day") or the northern hemisphere (as in "The Day After Tomorrow") that are in trouble. "2012" calls upon an ancient (and very real) Mayan prophecy that the world would come to an end three years from now. The resulting trailer (below) is an orgy of Mother Nature's wrath and the human race's desperate struggles to survive. Looks interesting, but chances are I'll wait until it's on HBO next year before I peep.

Stand and Deliver: Greer Barnes

More from Greer. The man does some tremendous impersonations.

Vibe is No More

From the New York Times:
Vibe, one of the nation’s leading popular music magazines, is closing immediately, a spokeswoman said Tuesday.

Word was broken early this afternoon by the Web site dailyfinance.com and spread to other music and media news sites. The spokeswoman, Tracy Nguyen, said the Vibe staff would be formally notified in a meeting at 2 p.m. She said she did not know how many people would be laid off as a result of the closure.

The closure of Vibe leaves just one large-circulation music magazine, The Source, focusing on hip-hop and R&B. The Source has had its own troubles, going through a bankruptcy and emerging under new ownership last year. A rock-focused magazine, Blender, folded last year.

Strange to think that, out of all the different "hip hop mags" out there, The Source is the one to survive. Benzino damn near killed it with his own personal vendettas and nonsense years ago, but yet it has outlived even Vibe.

Welcome to the Air Sex Championships

Yes, I said "air sex". Think "air guitar," but naughtier. This competition was held in Portland recently, finally answering the question, "What do strippers do for fun when they're off-duty?"

Goodbye, Michael

The world lost a legendary man today.

Michael Jackson was, for the people of my generation, the first big star that we ever knew. He was pop music and superstardom. His songs inspired millions; sometimes he made you dance, sometimes he made you think. Sometimes he even made you cry. His legacy can be found in an era of artists who had not even been born when Thriller, his signature album, was released. Much of today's music bares his artistic DNA, whether intentional—beat loops and lyrical retreads of his numerous hits—or unintentional—the brash singing style and enthusiastic dance moves that he pioneered.

The controversy that surrounded him in his final years may serve as judge and jury in some people's eyes; which is sad, and highly unjustified. Though he was accused of horrible crimes, but was never once convicted. No evidence could be produced to confirm the scandolous accounts put forward. People tend to get stuck on tabloids and sensationalism, and the result is an unfair depiction of a man.

In the end, Michael was an immensely talented man who loved life, and loved the world and the people who inhabited it. He was an entertainer who persevered for 40 years in an industry that swallows up and spits out hundreds on a daily basis. He was the King, and he will be forever loved and missed.

"Revenge of the Fallen" sets Wednesday Record

The new Michael Bay boomfest pulled in just over $60 million yesterday, the biggest single day box office debut ever for a film that opened in the middle of a week.

TJ, Dupa, and I were among that $60 million, catching a midnight showing a couple of nights ago. Personally, I'm just over the line of fanboy-dom when it comes to Transformers, so I was almost certain to love the film. If you're an action junkie, it doesn't disappoint. The fight scenes are intricate and brutal, and the CGI looks great. Storywise, however, the film is severely hindered by a sketchy script that could've used a lot of refinement. I had read up quite a bit on the movie beforehand, and therefore was ready for some of the plot's thinner areas; TJ and Dupa, who didn't do their homework, were thrown by the artistic liberties taken by Bay & Co.

As TJ said the next day, "...[see] 'Transformers' for the action, not for the absolutely incomprehensible storyline."

Bra Testing

Ever wonder how lingerie companies test brassieres? Simple: They take hot models to an amusement park.

[Ed. Note: Obviously this isn't really how they test bras. But it's Monday, so shut up and allow a guy to dream.]

Remember When...

...the San Diego Chargers thought this guy was going to be their franchise quarterback that took their team to untold heights of glory? Just how much luckier do people in Indianapolis' front office feel about taking Peyton Manning instead with that year's first overall pick? It's enough to make an NFL executive get down on his knees and pray.
Former NFL quarterback Ryan Leaf has surrendered to Texas authorities to face burglary and drug-related charges.

Leaf's attorney, Bill Kelly, says Leaf turned himself in Friday at the Randall County Jail in Canyon, where the former No. 2 pick was indicted in May after coaching quarterbacks at West Texas A&M for three seasons. Kelly says Leaf posted $15,000 bail and headed back to Washington state.

Leaf faces one count of burglary and eight drug-related counts associated with the painkiller Hydrocodone. He was arrested Wednesday in Washington state after entering the U.S. from Canada. He posted bond there and flew to Texas.
