Top 10 Sick NBA Fastbreaks

fairlane — Mon, 26 Jul 2010 02:11:24 +0000

Absolutely hardcore NBA fastbreaks. These are the kinds that you will not see on textbooks, stunts that you don’t really learn on any practice, these are the moves they do based on instincts, executed perfectly because of they “just know he’ll be there”, something that can only be made possible with a team that is a team in the strictest sense of the word.

Behind the back passes, body twisting ball saves, fluid finishes… moments when amazing happens.

Enjoy the acrobatics.

10. 2009: Utaz Jazz

Deron Williams Kirilenko & Millsap out on the fast break during the 2009 nba playoffs

9. Circa 1980: Boston Celtics

Who else has the right to show us all how it’s done but Larry Bird? He launched the reign of Celtics in a fashion yet to be duplicated.

Bird got the rebound to Maxwell for a dunk that could have broken down any ego on the way.

8. 1994: Orlando Magic

16 December 1994.12.16

Orlando Magic vs Warriors.

One doped game by Penny Hardaway, Shaquille O’neal and Latrell Sprewell

7. 2009: Atlanta Hawks

Bibby still got it, man. I would say he has been a key to the continuous refinement of the Hawks.

I hope for better days for this team… after the better days of Miami Heat which I hope to happen in the next season.

6. 2005: Phoenix Suns

This is from the 2005-2006 season.

Diaw to Nash back to Diaw for a sick finish.

Top 10 Good Boys of Rock & Roll

fairlane — Sat, 24 Jul 2010 14:45:19 +0000

If music is religion, these bands are the gods.

They are the good boys of rock and roll.

They rock, they curse in their lyrics, they say the f word in interviews but that is the extent of their “bad boy” genes. They diss nobody, if they do criticize others, they do it constructively, they don’t subscribe to the ‘I’ll destroy the hotel, I’m a rock star attitude’, their private lives are private.

Boring? You judge.

10. Slipknot

They have been very critical of commercialism but come on, that’s not being bad. They just hate commercialism. They are actually “victims” of it because they have sold millions of records.

Despite their black attire, gory masks, hardly comprehensible lyrics, they don’t really get into fights with anyone. They don’t talk shit about anyone or anyone’s ideology. They just… mind their own business.

They even expressed gratitude to the Grammy’s when they got one.

9. Jon Bon Jovi

Alright, before you talk shit about Bon Jovi, stop. I ain’t here to discuss if they really are a rock band or not.

They have been dissed and insulted by so many bands out there – newbies and veterans alike but they never talked back.

What’s more? They are still together after decades of rockin’ it.

Hmmm, at least half of the band admitted to cheating on their wives. I dunno… cheating?

8. The Beach Boys

One of them had a lunacy attack of some sort but that’s hardly being bad.

Their music is peachy sweet. No rumbles, no punching paps.

They just might cure me of insomnia… unless they start using their lunacy as an excuse to destroy every stop sign in the U.S. and piss on stage in the middle of his performance?

7. Dave Matthew Band

This is one of those bands that have stood the test of time. Alright, you can’t call them the hard rockin’ band that people swarm to when they walk the streets but man, do they make some good music.

They are still intact and there has been no news about in-band squabbles or shit like that. They make music, they sing, they do their awesome thing and then they go home to their families.

Come on Dave, you’ve been around for two decades. If that is not a free pass to commit at least one DIU, I don’t know what is.

6. Eagles

Even when they broke up no one said anything bad about anyone because there was nothing bad about anyone.

When they were apart, they remain friends and when they felt like they were ready to rock, they went back to each other.

You’ve never heard about them dissing each other or dissing other people. No incidents of collapsing on stage because they were too high to play. No moments of hitting the fans with charis or their musical instruments.

They’re good guys… well, except that Hotel California song that practically screams “long live hell!”.

Top 10 Celebrities Who Remarried Ex-Spouses

fairlane — Fri, 16 Jul 2010 14:30:46 +0000

Some marriages are just too broken to be repaired… but it is “enlightening” to see some celebrities give it a shot.

Hey, if anyone has a shot at making it work, they are it.

Here are some celebrities who had so much fun in their first wedding, they divorced and got married again.

10. Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton

This is perhaps the most (in)famous remarriage in history. Elizabeth Taylor played an Egyptian pharaoh and Richard Burton her lover. They were both married when the “fell in love” and their affair became an international scandal.

March 6, 1964, Taylor’s divorce from Eddie Fisher becomes final and she married Burton nine days later.

They went through a much publicized divorce and then a much publicized re-marriage on October 10, 1975.

9. Don Johnson and Melanie Griffith

Don Johnson and Melani Griffith met on the set of The Harrad Experiment when he was 22 and she was 14. They had a proper Vegas wedding in 1976, when Griffith was 18. They divorced, less than a year later.

They reconciled a decade later. They had a child and remarried in 1989, and stayed together until 1996. Griffith eventually left Johnson for Antonio Banderas.

8. Stephen Crane and Lana Turner

Actor-restaurateur Stephen Crane twice married this leading lady with a reputation as a femme fatale following her role, Lana Turner on July 17, 1942. Turner annulled the marriage because Crane, it turned out, was yet to be divorced with his first wife, Carol Ann Kurtz.

Lana discovered she was pregnant so she remarried Crane in March 1943. They divorced a second time in August 1944.

On April 4, 1958, Stephen Crane’s 14 year old daughter, Cheryl, killed Lana Turner’s boyfriend, Johnny Stompanato.

7. Richard Pryor & Flynn Belaine

Pryor’s last marriage is to Jennifer Lee.

Top 10 Worst Celebrity Parenting Moments

fairlane — Thu, 15 Jul 2010 14:30:52 +0000

I am not saying these celebrities are bad parents. I’m saying, like all of us, they also have so moments of bad parenting.

Here are some of those crazy moments. I do hope it doesn’t happen everyday.

10. Joan Crawford

Joan Crawford disinherited her adopted child Christina with the famous line “It is my intention to make no provision herein for my son Christopher or my daughter Christina for reasons which are well known to them.” Christina came out with a book titled, Mommie Dearest which told stories of abuse and neurosis.

Christina talked about her mother’s alcoholism, perfectionism and possible bipolar disorder. Crawford, allegedly, had violent rages.

9. Britney Spears

Britney Spears had several misjudgment and it is unfortunate that a lot of it have been caught by the cameras. She tripped and almost dropped her son, Jayden James, while holding a beer on the other hand, driving while his son’s car seatbelt was not properly buckled and driving with her son her lap.

Spears divorced Kevin Federline when Jayden was not quite two months old, and they have been in custody circus since. After Spears’ public breakdowns, the court has granted full custody to Federline.

8. James Brown

James Brown, Godfather of Soul, forgot to include his youngest child, a five year old, in his last will and testament. He died of complications of pneumonia in 2006. He had a complicated family life.

He had six children from three marriages, and one five-year-old son (James Brown Jr.) from his controversial fourth marriage to Tomi Rae Hynie.

His will was written before the birth of his youngest child. Under South Carolina state law, a child born after the date of the last will still has some rights to inherit – but young James Jr.’s claim was rapidly tied up in lawsuits and paternity tests.

7. Alec Baldwin

Alec Baldwin and Kim Basinger have been going through a bitter custody battle over their daughter, Ireland. The couple divorced in 2002 after nine years of marriage. The 2007 voice-mail message was the climax.

In the voice message, the actor calls his daughter “rude, thoughtless little pig.” Baldwin got so mad after her daughter switched her phone off when they were supposed to have a scheduled talk. In the same tape, Baldwin calls his ex-wife Basinger “a thoughtless pain in the ass,” and said he will “straighten your ass out”. He also said “Once again, I have made an ass of myself trying to get to a phone… You have insulted me for the last time…This crap you pull on me with this goddamn phone situation that you would never dream of doing to your mother, and you do it to me constantly over and over again.”

6. Lana Turner

Lana Turner had a relationship Johnny Stompanato, an ex-Marine who was violent and jealous. Two years of abuse and by April 4, 1958, she told him that their relationship was over – the two got so violent that 14-year-old Cheryl Crane grabbed a kitchen knife and ran into the room to protect her mother. Stompanato was fatally injured.

It was later deemed a justifiable homicide. The troubled girl grew up to have a successful career in real estate, and later formed a good relationship with her mother.

Top 10 Most Influential & Awesome TV & Movie Friendship

fairlane — Mon, 12 Jul 2010 14:25:12 +0000

Some friendships are really stronger than marriage. Some friendships are colossally cool it can influence art trends. Some friendships are portrayed too perfectly, finding a bestfriend becomes the goal over finding a husband or wife.

TV and movies are responsible for these portrayals and as we wait for that BFF to arrive in our life, let us take a look at some reel friendships that made a permanent mark in our real life.

10. Thelma & Louise

There is nothing that can bind a friendship stronger than a crime.

Thelma & Louise is a 1991 American road movie directed by Ridley Scott. It is all about two friends who are trying to run away from their troubled, caged lives. It stars Geena Davis as Thelma and Susan Sarandon as Louise. It was a critical and commercial success.

More importantly, it tackled how dysfunction can actually be the root of a strong friendship. It made the public understood how troubled people actually forge a strong community.

9. Carrie, Samantha, Charlotte & Miranda (Sex and the City) tie with Natalie, Dylan, & Alex (Charlie s Angels)

Arguably the most successful HBO series, Sex and the City made friendship, fashion and New York high end lifestyle became a packaged deal towards happiness.

It empowered women in levels never before expressed in such a bold way.

It sent a message to men, they are just second in a woman’s life… nothing can take the place of girlfriends.

If Thelma & Louise were bonded by their criminal ways, these three are bonded by their crime fighting career. Natalie, Dylan & Alex were the fashion and beauty icons, coolness idols and friendship law makers.

Their clothes, their hairstyles, their language, and even their flaws were being imitated by other women from all over the world. Suddenly, three is not a crowd.

Friendship with a purpose, that is what they were about.

8. Doogie Howser & Vinnie Delphino (Doogie Howser)

The TV show was about the boy genius that is Doogie Howser but the interesting dynamics and contrast between Doogie and Vinnie made any genius who has a “loser” bestfriend totally cool.

7. Ben & Danny (Ben)

This is perhaps the only friendship in the list no one would want to experience.
I don’t think there is any other friendship more wild than this one. Most people throw up or run in disgust at the sight of a rat. Danny decided to befriend it. In return, the rat committed a crime for him.

I am all for Mickey Mouse but an actual rat?

I have to admit however, it become the poster movie for the extreme outcasts.

6. Mickey Mouse & Pluto (Mickey Mouse)

Speaking of rats… Mickey Mouse and Pluto. These two have been so loyal to each other, I honestly think Mickey loves the dog over Minnie. No wonder Minnie is yet to marry Mickey.

Micky and Pluto will always be the foundation for our idea of friendship – loyal, eternal, and ~~superficial~~ fun.

Top 10 Funniest Celebrities To Interview

fairlane — Sat, 10 Jul 2010 14:30:51 +0000

These are the precious moments when celebrities bring their whole game to interviews and talk shows.

There are so many celebrities who don’t like talking with the press but there are some who just bring it on. They enjoy conversations and they enjoy having a good laugh with some of the wittiest and funniest talk show hosts.

Here are the best of them.

10. Dustin Hoffman

Hoffman is perhaps going down the list as one of the top 10 most versatile actors of all time. There aren’t many roles he can’t play. Three are probably none.

What not many realize is that he is also a very witty and funny guy. He doesn’t do a lot of interviews but when he does, he always floors the audience.

Below is his appearance in Parkinson, a host not known for his comedy but Hoffman managed to drop some punchlines here and there amusing even Parkinsons.

9. Eminem

Next to being angry and being a great rapper/songwriter, Eminem is great at being funny. It is not always noticed because people just ask him about the other celebrities he disses on his records.

He doesn’t smile a lot and it gives me the impression he does it on purpose but just watch his interviews and you will see how funny he really is.

8. Miley Cyrus

Miley Cyrus will be in this business for a long time. It shows in her confidence, especially in her interviews. She is barely out of her teens and she can match the wit of any talk show host.

Below is her interview with Jonathan Ross. Many celebrities are actually scared of Ross because he manages to own everyone who sits on his sofa. With Cyrus, though, he actually called her “the scariest guest he ever had”.

7. Madonna

Madonna can be funny if the host interviewing her can match her wit and understand her humor.

This is the infamous 1994 interview with David Letterman.

Watch how the two battled it out until the end. Who do you think won?

6. Drew Barrymore

Another David Letterman classic. During a 1995 appearance of Drew Barrymore she shocked the normally calm host by climbing onto his desk and flashing him (but with her back to the camera) for his birthday.

Barrymore is a bit more tamed now. Don’t you miss the good old days?

Top 10 Funniest Triumph The Comic Dog Moments

fairlane — Fri, 09 Jul 2010 14:00:19 +0000

This is one dude that will surely floor you in his every appearance.

It’s not only the wit… but also the balls for being able to say the things other people are too scared to say to big celebrities.

Ladies and gentlemen, Triumph the comic dog’s funniest pooping moments.

10. David Blaine

While David Blaine is hanging upside down doing one of his absurd magic tricks, Triumph pays him a visit.

Blaine’s usual blank expressions is replaced with giggles as the Triumph cheers him on to complete his trick… with some little insults here and there.

9. Joan Rivers and Franz Ferdinand

Triumph appears in Access Hollywood and gets a close encounter with Joan River’s frozen face.

The lady took the insults like a real lady… but then again, it’s hard to see how she was really feeling since her face is frozen solid.

8. American Idol

Who better to give the contestants a real assessment of how much they really suck but Triumph.

He is not just a funny dog, he is also very good at giving ~~insults~~ constructive criticisms.

7. Tony Awards

Triumph makes his apperance in the tv event that no one cares about.

As the dog puts it, this is bound to be his appearance with the lowest rating of all.

I wouldn’t be surprise to know that his segment is the highest rating part of the entire awards night.

6. Jay Leno 2003

Leno, being the more held back talks show host of all, spent most of his time laughing at Triumph. The dog, of course, didn’t let his opportunity to ask Leno if he could hump his chin. Leno didn’t oblige. Party pooper!

Other than that, Leno was played it cool. He let the dog have his moment and fed him only questions to set him up for his punchlines.

Top 10 Craziest Celebrity Love Triangle

fairlane — Mon, 05 Jul 2010 14:00:49 +0000

You know what they say, all is fair in love and war.

Even the most successful and most popular celebrities sometimes forget the basics of human decency when they start feeling this thing which they identify as love. They start cheating, lying, and stealing other people’s partners. Sometimes, they don’t even care if they are stealing and lying to a friend or a total stranger.

Not everyone in this article is a cheater, though. Some have simply been pitied against each other by the media BUT, they’re still fun to watch.

Here are some of the craziest antics Hollywood has ever pulled.

10. Kim Kardashian vs Irina Shayk

Fighting over: Cristiano Ronaldo

Kardashian and Shayk have both been linked to soccer superstar Cristiano Ronaldo.

Irina is more of a fashion model. Kim is more famous for being famous.

Kim is curvy and Irina is slender.

Both, however, are just hot!

9. Gisele Bundchen vs Bridget Moynahan

Fighting over: Tom Brady

Bridget broke up with Tom Brady. Several weeks later, he started going out with Gisele and Bridget is pregnant. Tom and Giselle are now married. Bridget and Tom shares custody of their son.

Gisele has been open about her love for Tom’s and Bridget’s son. She said she considers the kid her own.

Bridget has never commented on anything.

Tom looks like he is having a time of his life.

8. Heather Locklear vs Denise Richards

Fighting over: Richie Sambora

These two were tight. They lived right next to each other and even hanged out regularly. They refer to each other as “bestfriend”.

All that until Heather’s marriage with Bon Jovi’s guitarist Richie Sambora started falling apart because Heather learned that Richie and Denise were seeing each other.

Denise was even photographed kissing Richie. He was still married to Heather then.

Heather surprised Richie by filing for divorce without telling him. Two months after, Denise publicly started dating Richie.

Meow!

7. Lindsay Lohan vs Hilary Duff

Fighting over: Aaron Carter

Some say that Aaron cheated with Lindsay while he was still with Hilary.

Some say that Aaron cheated with Hilary while he was still with Lindsay.

According to Hilary, he broke up with her exactly a day before he showed up at Lindsay’s movie premier. Hilary said, “I didn’t mean any harm if I dated him at the same time. I think he cheated on me, and I think he cheated on her. He made it look like they had broken up.

There were reports that Duff tried to have Lohan thrown out of an after-party premier of one of Duff’s movies. Duff denies, “I couldn’t even tell you what she looked like at the premier. I think I’ve met her maybe twice. It’s, like, every single time I see her, she starts talking bad about me.”

These two seem cool now but Lindsay seems to favor “difficult relationships”, click here to know more about that other guy she was involved with.

6. Shar Jackson vs Britney Spears

Fighting over: Kevin Federline

Kevin was with Shar Jackson with two kids when he met Britney in the shoot of her music video. He run away with her effectively destroying her career and the life of Shar. Kevin said, though, they were already having problems when he met Britney.

Jackson was silent for the most part (or maybe no one cared to ask for her side of the story).

Kevin eventually separated and divorced Britney. Just recently, he made a public apology to Shar.

Britney has since moved on to reconquer the world through every known trick to men except singing, click here to more about it.

Top 10 Funniest Celebrity Impressions of Other Celebrities

fairlane — Sat, 03 Jul 2010 14:00:13 +0000

These are rarely seen clips of A-list actors doing impressions of other A-list actors in talk shows or other awards night.

I know that Saturday Night Live does a lot of impressions so I didn’t include them in the list.

10. Justin Timberlake does a John Mayer

Justin’s comic side is one thing that is not known to many. He is a fun and funny guy who does not really take himself too seriously.

He did an impression of John Meyer. The voice was perfect and the facial expressions just floored me. I don’t really like his music but I like his comedy. I have new found respect for JT.

9. Dane Cook does a Tom Cruise

Tom Cruise’s infamous couch jumping has been made fun of so much that it already made me sick. Besides, I don’t think it could be funnier than the original anyway.

Well, I was wrong. Dane Cook did.

8. Jim Carrey does a David Caruso of CSI

I like CSI Nevada. I like the cases and the actors and the direction and that whole “we’re the original” kindda thing.

I also like CSI Miami because David Caruso makes me laugh. I think he is a respectable actor but he simple overdoes his part on this one. Really distracts me from the great cases they are dealing with.

I hope he watched Jim Carey’s impression of him just as so he could tone it down. I still love CSI Miami though.

7. Kevin Spacey does an Al Pacino, Marlon Brando, and others

Kevin Spacey rocks!

I knew he was a good actor. I didn’t know he could do funny impressions.

Man, his impression of Al Pacino and Marlon Brando is one of the best I have ever seen.

6. Kevin Pollak does a Christopher Walken

There really are some actors that is just funny to copy because of their unique voice and unique mannerisms. Those are the things that make them stand out among the crowd.

One of those people is Christopher Walken and Kevin Pollak won our hearts with his impression of Walken.

Top 10 Best Celebrity Boob Grabs

fairlane — Fri, 25 Jun 2010 14:00:20 +0000

One of the greatest gifts anyone can give a dude is a boob grabbing incident.

We don’t even have to be a part of this. We’ll be glad to watch two women do it.

While we wait for the next life altering boob grabbing incident, here are the best ones to get you through.

10. Sandra Bullock and Jimmy Fallon

I think Jimmy Fallon is starting to become a better talk show host but you I have to admit that this… this is his shining moment.

Jimmy should do a part two of this on his show.

9. Tyra Banks and a Doctor

I never doubted those are real, Tyra but in the interest of objectivity and investigative journalism, I have to see and feel for myself.

This is one of the very first few episodes of the now defunct, The Tyra Banks Show.

8. Katherine McPhee and Tyra Banks

There were some rumors that if you press Katherine’s breasts, it will dispense coffee.

Tyra took it upon herself to disprove the rumors on her show.

Girls, you seem to be having some trouble with it… I’m here to help. Anytime.

7. Jamie Lee Curtis and Jon Lovitz

Jamie Lee Curtis and Jon Lovitz.

It’s funny.

Don’t expect anything else.

6. Rosie and Tyra Banks

Tyra Banks grabs Rosie’s boobs on The View.

I think I threw up a little.
