12.10.2007 brad and angelina are cool

One reason I think Brad Pitt is cool is because he used to go to Ultimate Fighting matches way back in the early days.  And not because it was some media event in a fabulous casino, this was back when it wasn't even allowed in the continental US.  They would be on some tropical island somewhere and then the camera would scan through the crowd and there would be Brad Pitt.  The point to all this is that Brad and Angelina Jolie were in Vegas to watch Ricky Hatton get knocked out in the 10th by Floyd Mayweather Saturday night at the MGM Grand (video here).  Also there were David Beckham, Denzel Washington, Kid Rock, Gwen Stefani and Gavin Rossdale, among others.  It was a good fight, although I don't agree that people should fight for money.  I use my karate for good, not for profit.  Like when I saved the rec center from those greedy developers.  My fists are made of steel, my kicks are weapons of honor!

(I have no idea what anyone is saying in that clip, but they mention the first Corrales/Castillo fight, which was good enough for me since thats maybe the greatest fight of all time.)




11.22.2006 denzel better be joking

The New York Daily News stopped Denzel Washington last night on the red carpet for the premier of his new movie "Déjà Vu", and he gave the expected answer when asked what he was working on next:

"I'm working on eating some turkey, going home, putting my feet up, watching TV and getting fat.  I'm going to do a good job at it, too!"

He did not give the expected answer when asked who the hottest actress he ever worked with was:

"Dakota, by far - she's the hottest of the bunch!"

That would be Dakota Fanning.   Who is 13.   Rawr!  What a sexy story.  Denzel should send her some gummi worms and a snap bracelet.  If Dakota doesn't respond to that, she must be like a total ice princess.
