watch ufc fight for the troops 2 video

Event: UFC Fight Night 23
: "Fight for the Troops 2"
Date: Saturday, January 22, 2011, at 9 p.m. ET on Spike TV
Location: Fort Hood Army Base in Killeen, Texas

Main Card:
Evan Dunham vs. Melvin Guillard

Dunham_guillard_medium Luke Thomas: I do agree Guillard is massively improved and will make this a very legitimate scrap, but I'm betting he's still got instincts built in from years of BJJ avoidance. We've also seen Dunham storm back after being rattled early. I like Dunham to win a very close one. Dunham by submission.

Kid Nate: Breaks my heart to have to pick against either guy here. I think Greg Jackson will be the difference in this fight. Guillard by decision.

Brent Brookhouse: If I was picking with my brain I'd probably say Dunham. I don't think that Guillard quite has the same amount of tools but I trust that he'll be able to scramble if he gets taken down and can just win the striking battle standing up. So I'm going to roll with it. Melvin Guillard by TKO, round 2.

Mike Fagan: Dunham needs to avoid going to a decision. Judges seem to view his style as lazy or ineffective (as all three of his UFC decisions have been split among the scoring officials), and Guillard has a style that makes him appear to be more active than he actually is. Fortunately for Dunham, seven of Guillard's eight losses are by submission. Evan Dunham by submission, round two.

Nick Thomas:
I'm a big fan of Dunham. Dunham takes this to the ground and ends it there. Dunham by submission.

Leland Roling: I'm excited to see some balls being grown by Nate on his pick. Guillard is a solid upset bid here, but I'm going with the safer bet here in Dunham. After getting the shaft against Sherk, he should bounce back strong. Evan Dunham via submission.

Anton Tabuena: Dunham is by far the more complete fighter overall, but Guillard has a very real chance of scoring an upset here standing up. I don't expect it to happen though. Dunham utilizes his length very well, and mixes up his strikes with his takedowns beautifully. Evan Dunham by Submission.

Duane Finley: Dunham has shown resilience and all of the tools necessary to make the UFC believe he has a possible title in his future but Guillard will not be easily disposed of. Since joining Greg Jackson and Mike Winkeljohn in Albuqurque, Guillard has looked sharp, quick and most importantly, patient. I think Guillard will look to keep it moving but Dunham's grinding style will eventually set up a fight ending submission. Dunham by submission.

Matt Mitrione vs. Tim Hague

Mitrione_hague_medium Luke Thomas: I like Mitrione here. I suspect he'll even take a big shot from Hague, but I just don't really see enough of a finishing ability for me to think Hague will shut down and stop Mitrione. Mitrione by TKO.

Kid Nate: Mitrione should outclass Hague by a wide margin here. Mitrione by decision.

Brent Brookhouse:Hague just doesn't quite have the same ability to inflict damage as Mitrione and honestly Beltran was a harder fight. So pretty easy here. Matt Mitrione by decision.

Mike Fagan: I lived in Indiana for a few years, and I still find the accent so incredibly bizarre. It's some bizarre amalgamation of a Southern drawl, Midwestern plainspeak, and Universal Redneck Voice. Neither of these guys should be appearing on my TV screen, and whoever loses this fight doesn't deserve a UFC contract. Matt Mitrione by decision, and hopefully he fires someone else on live television.

Nick Thomas:
If Hague doesn't get Mitrione to the ground, Hague is in trouble. Mitrione by TKO.

Leland Roling: Duke Roufus is the only man in mixed martial arts teaching the defensive mechanics and offensive diversity in the kickboxing department. Both are crucial to success, and Mitrione will put that on display against Hague's historically bad defense to kicks. Mitrione via TKO.

Anton Tabuena: I have not been impressed with Mitrione at all, but I still expect him to defeat Hague. This will probably lead to his third, and most probably his final, UFC release. Mitrione by TKO.

Duane Finley: "Meathead" has shown continuous improvement each time out and the trend continues against Hague, who subsequently choked out Mitrione's good friend and teammate Pat Barry. The MMA veteran and Canadian product may have size and experience on Mitrione but it won't be enough. Mitrione via a second round TKO.

Mark Hominick vs. George Roop

Hominick_roop_medium Luke Thomas: Hominick should be able to go long enough in the fight to be a drag on Roop's cardio while using superior angles and combinations to stop Roop. Hominick by decision.

Kid Nate: Hominick should be polished enough to out point Roop. Hominick by decision.

Brent Brookhouse: Roop had a swell KO over Jung, but he's not actually all that good. Hominick is much better (but not quite as good as everyone is suddenly trying to sell him as). Mark Hominick by decision.

Mike Fagan:     Roop is the leading candidate to take the place of Corey Hill on this year's "Fight For The Troops" show. There are some things - 2 Girls, 1 Cup; goatse.cx; the perpetually bleeding lesions decorating Al Davis's face - that cannot be unseen, and the image of Hill's right shin being snapped in two will be imprinted in the memories of MMA fans forever. Mark Hominick by decision.

Nick Thomas:
Striker vs. Striker and training partners here - going with my fellow Canuck. Hominick by decision.

Leland Roling: This should be a solid scrap as both men have some great footwork to showcase, but Roop probably hasn't learned enough to overcome what Wineland was able to do to him previously. Hominick is more skilled than Wineland. He'll take it. Hominick via decision.

Anton Tabuena: Don't expect Hominick to just stand there like the Korean Zombie did. Hominick is much more dynamic on his feet, and I expect him to win a lopsided stand up fight here. Mark Hominick by decision.

Duane Finley: Hominick's hands and feet looked spot-on in his most recent bout with Yves Jabouin and his ability to keep the pace and pressure will determine the outcome of the fight. Not taking anything away from George Roop, who landed a highlight reel worthy head kick knockout over the Korean Zombie Chan Sung Jung, but Roop's length and reach will not be enough to stop Hominick from earning his title shot. Mark Hominick wins via unanimous decision.

Pat Barry vs. Joey Beltran

Barry_beltran_medium Luke Thomas: Yeah, Pat Barry. Big time. Barry by KO.

Kid Nate: Barry should beat Beltran up pretty bad for a highlight reel KO. Barry by KO.

Brent Brookhouse: Barry should absolutely win this fight but at the same time I think I'm going to go ahead and go with Beltran to just ugly out a decision. Joey Beltran by decision.

Mike Fagan: If I was Dana White, I would have cut Pat Barry immediately after UFC 115. I can't stand the lovey-dovey hugging and glove-tapping garbage that goes on in the Octagon. You're there to fight! I love guys that go for the fake glove tap only to pull back and throw a punch. It's such a delightfully evil move. Pat Barry by TKO, round one.

Nick Thomas:
If Mitrione can beat Beltran, Barry can beat Beltran. Barry by TKO.

Leland Roling: I hesitate in picking Pat Barry because he seems to get blinded by visions of grandeur quickly. Gameplan out the door, and stupidity steps into the cage. If he sticks to a gameplan of kicks and power punches, he should win. Pat Barry via TKO.

Anton Tabuena: Don't let the Crocop fight fool you, he was completely outclassing the PRIDE legend until he broke both his hand and his foot. I like Beltran, but I don't think he stands much of a chance here standing up with a very dangerous striker in Pat Barry. Barry by TKO.

Duane Finley: This is a fight that Pat Barry should win but if Beltran swallows his pride and passes on the stand up war he has a shot of winning this fight. Barry is a powerful striker who knocked Cro-Cop around and if Beltran's warrior mentality keeps him in the pocket Barry could end it in exciting fashion. This fight is a "pick em" but I'm going against the odds and taking Beltran. Joey Beltran by KO.

Cole Miller vs. Matt Wiman

Miller_wiman_medium Luke Thomas: Surprised to see the Wiman picks. He's obviously a very talented fighter, but I see Miller as being aggressive enough to just make Wiman play defensive. If he can force a mistake he can force a tap. Miller by submission.

Kid Nate: Wiman is the more well rounded but Miller is a gamer. Wiman by decision.

Brent Brookhouse: Very good fight. Cole Miller is gutsy, Wiman is a hell of a tough fighter himself. Matt Wiman by decision.

Mike Fagan: Every time I watch Cole Miller fight, I get the feeling that the second you put some pressure on him that he'll fold up shop and call it a night. He just has that nerdy look to him. His profile picture on Wikipedia shows his face clad with scrapes and bruises, and I still have a hard time believing that mean-mugging expression on his face. But every time out, the kid proves he's tough as nails. And I wrote all that up to predict Matt Wiman by decision.

Nick Thomas:
Miller has the height and reach advantage and at some point takes this to the ground and wins. Miller by submission.

Leland Roling: Wiman is a game opponent, and this could have Fight of the Night written all over it. Miller is at a disadvantage in terms of pace and wrestling, but his submission game is becoming very dangerous and his stand-up continues to improve. I'll take Miller here, but it wouldn't surprise me to see Wiman pull it off. Miller via decision.

Anton Tabuena: Cole Miller is longer, and has a better ground game. As long as he utilizes his reach advantage, he should be able to avoid getting hit flush on the chin in time to take Wiman down and submit him. Miller by Submission.

Duane Finley: In this matchup both Miller and Wiman are capable in all areas so it will come down to who wants it more. With Wiman coming off an injury he might not be up to speed and I see Miller via unanimous decision.

Joni Hudson-Reynolds, an African-American Mom
Frayser High School has a problem…20% of the girls are pregnant

20% of the girls at Frayser High School in Memphis, TN are pregnant. This reporter attempts to get answers from this mother, but she does not seem to have any answers. The reporter suggest some kind of pregnancy pact, but that would imply some kind of plan. Do you really think these girls are planning anything? What can be done about this? The girl suggest some kind of class might help, but can that really stop teen pregnancy? Do shows like MTV Teen Mom glamorize teen pregnancy? Tell me what you think.

Brandi Favre, Brett Favre's Sister Arrested in a Meth Drug Bust


Brandi Favre, the sister of NFL star Brett Favre, was arrested on Wednesday along with 4 other people for allegedly taking part in the manufacturing of methamphetamine.

Brandi Favre of Mississippi, was charged with generating hazardous waste and manufacturing methamphetamine. She is scheduled to appear in court sometime this morning.

Brett Favre, the star quarterback that has come out of retirement twice, has had quite of bit of unwanted media attention this past year. He was accused of sending nude photographs via text message to a woman named Jenn Sterger. Sterger had worked for the New York Jets while Favre was a player there. The NFL ended up fining Favre $50,000 for not cooperating in the investigation. We probably won’t ever know for sure if Favre really did send photos to Sterger, or if she was fabricating the entire story.

Brandi Favre, the younger 34-year-old sister of Brett, has had trouble with the law in the past. She has been arrested for using a weapon unlawfully in 1996, as well as shoplifting back in 1999.

Police are said to have discovered the meth lab after witnessing a drug sale go down at a gas station nearby. Police were then led by one of the suspects to the condominium where methamphetamine was being produced in a bathtub. There has been no comment from Brett Favre concerning his sister, as of yet.

Angelina Pivarnick Fight: Caught on Tape video


We love the smart phone era. Everybody's got a camera on hand at all times, leaving the door open for someone to capture impromptu fights breaking out.

Specifically, we're referring to ex-Jersey Shore star Angelina Pivarnick's expletive laden, cell phone-heaving scuffle at the Trump Taj Mahal in Atlantic City.

The footage picks up after Pivarnick and Melissa Mayne, who is suing Angelina over the melee, exchanged blows. Here, they mostly trade vulgar insults.

A phone is hilariously sent flying at one point, though. Enjoy ...

ted williams arrested news


Things are rapidly devolving for the homeless man with the golden voice. Now his daughter says he drinks a bottle of vodka every night -- and he says she hits him.

Ted Williams recounted his Monday night arrest by the Los Angeles Police Department, claiming his 29-year-old daughter, Janey, hit him during a family altercation at a Hollywood hotel.

"I wanted to bring it to a close by just saying, 'Shut the hell up and let me talk to your mother,'" the 53-year-old recovering alcoholic told Entertainment Tonight on Tuesday.

Williams had been in Los Angeles to tape a number of shows, including "Entertainment Tonight" and a two-part episode of "Dr. Phil," which airs on Wednesday.

"When that was said out of my mouth, my daughter exploded -- fists got a flyin' -- none of which were mine," Williams said, showing the camera scratches on his face and nose. He said Janey kept threatening to sell his story.

Williams drew national attention earlier this month after The Columbus Dispatch aired a video of the former panhandler on a streetcorner holding a sign touting his incredible voice.

Telling her side of the altercation, Janey said her father went on a violent tirade. "He said 'You, you fat [expletive], and when he said that, I just got angry," she recounted.

She added that her father -- a former radio personality -- has turned back to the bottle since his newfound fame.

"He's consumed at least a bottle of Grey Goose a night, at least," Janey said. "That's not including the Coronas he orders, that's not including the Budweisers he orders, that's not including the other alcohol, the wines. He drinks "heavily."

After being taken from the Renaissance Hotel to the police station, Williams was eventually released after about an hour. A spokeswoman for the LAPD said no charges were pressed.

Williams denied that he was drinking again and said his daughter was simply trying to take advantage of him.

Janey, Williams said, was "selling me out on this fame and fortune ticket."

Massive Floods Threaten Brisbane, Australia Video


Residents of Brisbane, Australia are bracing for what’s expected to be the worst flood to hit the region in over 100 years. Flash flooding caused by weeks of rain has pushed the nearby Wivenhoe Dam to its capacity, and the local government has urged residents not to panic. The local government estimates that as many as 40,000 homes may be affected by the flood, 9,000 “significantly,” and power is being cut for 100,000 city residents due to safety concerns. New Scientist calls the phenomenon occurring in Northern Australia an “inland tsunami.”

And it’s not an exaggeration: The video above, taken by a resident of Toowoomba 80 miles to the west of Brisbane, shows floodwater picking up cars in a parking lot like toys. According to the New York Daily News, river water near Toowoomba hit heights as high as 26 feet. At least ten people in the area are dead and dozens are missing.

The Real Housewives of Atlanta: Sip, See, Sing, Bitch


How did Phaedra Parks and Apollo outdo Kate Middleton and Prince William on The Real Housewives of Atlanta this week? Let's find out from our show correspondent, who has reviewed the latest installment of this Bravo series...

Phaedra prepped for Aydan's baby debut by hosting a (traditional Southern?) "Sip & See" party. Not only is Phaedra a lawyer/businesswoman/Renaissance Goddess, but she's also Atlanta's answer to Martha Stewart.

Chatting with Apollo, she worried that her guests may just be attending the party for gossip material. Apparently, Atlanta is "Haterville" and since Phaedra and Apollo are too fabulous for words, they're on everyone's hit list.

Cynthia and 50-year-old Peter had a tense dinner at home. Sipping wine from a bottle with a twist-off cap (because nothing says elegance like some Julio Gallo wine), 50-year-old Peter shared his worries with Cynthia.

Uptown, 50-year-old Peter's supper club, is in trouble since investors for the club are dropping like flies. Discussing their financial troubles over a glass of wine, Cynthia advised 50-year-old Pete to sell the club in order to have enough money for their wedding. Prickly Pete bristled at the idea and Cynthia started to fester.

Britney Spears' New Single: Listen, React Now


"Hold It Against Me" is the new single from Britney Spears. Unlike the leaked demo from last week, this is the real version of the song, with Brit singing.

We're sort of let down. The lyrics, for one, are simply a play on a lame, ancient pick-up line - "If I said I liked your body, would you hold it against me?"

The beat is more or less forgettable too. She just sort of mouths inane lyrics over whatever "edgy" electro beats her producers lay out nowadays.

no pants subway ride 2011-Jim Carrey, Lady Gaga, Britney Spears video










Jim Carrey
Saturday Night Live Black Swan parody ratings hit, Lady Gaga to return on Glee, Britney Spears streams new single and the No Pants Subway Ride 2011.

Jim Carrey heads to Saturday Night Live for a Black Swan spoof that receives outstanding ratings. Lady Gaga and Gwyneth Paltrow head back to the hit TV show Glee. Britney Spears gives fans an early listen to her new track “Hold It Against Me” with online stream and No Pants Subway Ride 2011 goes off without a hitch over the weekend.

Jim Carrey hosted Saturday Night Live over the weekend and generated amazing ratings. It is said that Carrey’s show received the highest ratings since Betty White hosted last year. On SNL, Carrey did a spoof of the critically acclaimed movie Black Swan. Jim Carrey played the role of the gorgeous Mila Kunis while Nasim Pedrad played Natalie Portman’s. I have to admit I watched Carrey on Saturday Night Live and I thought it was hilarious, I can see why it received such high ratings.

Lady Gaga and Gwyneth Paltrow head back to the hit TV show Glee. Paltrow will reprise her role at Holly Holiday, the substitute teacher who has already performed “Forget You,” which received high amounts of praise. Gaga has given the green light for the Glee cast to perform her highly anticipated single “Born This Way.” Of course, Gleeks and Lady Gaga fans alike will have to wait some time because the single hasn’t even been released to the public yet!

Britney Spears’ new track “Hold It Against Me” is set for release tomorrow but fans are getting a little treat. It seems like the finalized track is showing up all over the web in the forms of sneak peek snippets. As you all know we heard the demo track which was leaked last week but the final product is now ready. Make sure you head over to iTunes tomorrow when Britney Spears’ new single goes on sale.

Last but not least is the No Pants Subway Ride 2011. It turns out that for this annual pantless event, over 3500 New York’s took to the Subways in freezing cold weather. I think the reports say that the temperature was somewhere around 30 degrees when the No Pants Subway Ride 2011 went down. Cold weather or not, New Yorkers successfully accomplished another year for the annual No Pants Subway Ride.

sip and see :'The Real Housewives of Atlanta' Sip, See, and Go On Tour

The Real Housewives of Atlanta are back! I really, honestly missed them over the holidays. And they're back with Kim and Kandi's bus tour! Glorious.

I'm learning new things from Phaedra every week. For example, now we know what a "Sip and See" baby-viewing party is. I googled it and it turns out Phaedra did not make it up! Remember how Kim and Phaedra kind of got into it? Well, they did, and Phaedra hasn't forgotten it. Naturally, Phaedra is citing jealousy as Kim's/everyone's primary motivation for gossiping about her. I do feel bad for Apollo, though, and baby Ayden; they probably didn't need to be dragged into things. Plus, after his appearance on Watch What Happens Live, I kind of like Apollo!

Peter and Cynthia are looking for investors for their restaurant. Because they own that restaurant, remember? Cynthia is ready to sell the restaurant and move on, Peter is not. I really like Cynthia--she's rational.

The Sip and See: featuring Dwight (and the baby). Phaedra, Apollo, and Ayden were introduced by Dwight in a tuxedo. I was starting to like Dwight last season but now I think he's an obnoxious stunt queen. All the Housewives come to the party, including Kim who has promised to be nice for an hour then leave. Kim and Phaedra go outside for a smoke and to move on. Also, Kim brought her papes to prove she's a registered nurse. And it's real, unlike whatever "Dr." Tiy-E was waving in front of Sheree's face.

Kim and Phaedra talk stripping and convicts and now that everything has been addressed, they can get along. We'll see how long that lasts.

Keepin' It Real With NeNe! We love it and we need it. Bloop bloop bloop! Her interview with Jermaine Dupri was less than dazzling, mostly because of him. But maybe a little bit because NeNe didn't do much research. But once they get up and go on the tour, NeNe sparkles.

Sweetie is helping Kim by administering her B12 shot. Oh, Christ! That looks scary! Kim is leaving for seven days, but what makes her daughters cry is the fact that Sweetie is going, too. Kim's just going to pretend that all those tears are for her. By the way, Kim's two passions are parenting and music. She is good at one of them.

The promo tour begins! The first stop is Charlotte, NC. Kandi's tour manager, Don Juan (that is his name), is too organized for Kim. She is convinced that "no one gives a sh*t." Kim is not feeling the price of fame, nor is she feeling the tour bus. Kandi and Don Juan make a game plan: run things by Sweetie, who is good at passive-aggressively getting Kim to do things. Sweetie was also able to figure out the tour bus toilet. Kim strikes a deal with their bus driver that he can drink if she's allowed to smoke on the bus. Kim!

Kim wanted to go to a bar so they hit up the "Thirsty Beaver." Kim's instincts were right, Don Juan is kind of a douche and a total bummer. The conversation, naturally, turns to Big Poppa and we are all so beyond over it.

Meanwhile in Atlanta, Cynthia and Peter meet with relationship expert Hill Harper. Harper shows up to promote his book, and maybe help Peter and Cynthia along the way. When it comes to finances, it appears they don't agree on everything, especially since they own that restaurant together. The "conversation" quickly becomes a shouting match, which Hill Harper has not written a book about. He wraps things up with, "obviously you guys communicate differently, so ... communicate better." Hill Harper, ladies and gentlemen! Just kidding, he had more to say than that. Cynthia requested another session.

Kandi's mom and aunts are going on their own concert tour! Delightful! Oh check it out, Kroy sent flowers! He reveals his youth in the message, telling Kim, "you're gonna do awesome." At least he knew to use "you're" instead of "your." As Don Juan tries to get Kim to put her cigarette down and get dressed, Kandi is worried the crowd might boo her (Toto, I don't think we're at the White Party anymore.) Wouldn't that be something!

Finally, Kim is debuting "The Ring Didn't Mean a Thing" and Kandi just realized that Kim has decided to forget the dance routine. I'm pretty sure Kim said "forget the dance routine" the moment she "learned" it. Kandi performed "I Haven't Loved Right" acapella and it was great, but probably not what the people at the hip hop club wanted to hear. Regardless, it went well! Next stop: Orlando (and DRAMA.)

watch The People's Choice 2011







Well, humanity had its say this week. People's Choice, the appropriately named organization behind the People's Choice Awards, celebrated the favorites of what their website insists on calling "real people." The big award of the night, "Favorite Film," came down to five movies. Alice in Wonderland, Inception, Iron Man 2, Toy Story 3, and The Twilight Saga: Eclipse. Guess which film took the top honor? Eclipse also defeated Inception and The Social Network in the "Favorite Drama Movie" category, while Adam Sandler's Grown Ups snagged the same for the people's favorite comedic -- I'm sorry, "comedy movie." The PCAs have a longer history than one might expect, and have awarded some genuine talents in their day. Since the advent of the internet, the once-fresh concept has become routine, and thus redundant, and no one who should care (those being awarded) does.

The People's Choice Awards were first awarded in 1975, when they probably carried a bit more weight. Originally, Gallup public opinion polls were used to cull responses and determine the winners. Previous winners include John Wayne, Mary Tyler Moore, Barbra Streisand, and The Sting. As time passed and technology evolved, we began using the internet socially, sharing our interests and preferences. Fans had more avenues with which to interact, and the digital world provided countless venues in which to air opinions.

Today, PCA voting takes place -- where else? -- online. Social media and internet polls allow folks like you and me the opportunity to decide which stars will walk away with a nondescript crystal award, and we can vote on what the award looks like, too! If I didn't already have the ability to vote on who wins a million dollars, or a singing career, or another 15 minutes of fame, this might hold some interest. In an age where the public can decide just about anything, though, the PCAs hold considerably less interest, and not just to me.

Entertainment Weekly, in their overview of this year's awards, concluded that there is no way that the winners aren't informed of their victory in advance, theorizing, "The stars don't want to piss 'the people' off by looking like they can't be bothered to accept an award from them, but there's no way they're going to show up to get stiffed by them." Okay, so stars know in advance. They show up, they thank the fans, they accept their awards. This hurts no one; the films, television shows, and stars that might care about the PCAs, like Eclipse, $#*! My Dad Says, and Zac Efron, are unlikely to be taking home any more prestigious awards anytime soon. I doubt these immensely popular properties are hurting for real people's praise, though, so why have the awards? I would have to be living under a rock in an unpopulated barren landscape to not know that the Twilight movies are wildly popular, and it comes as no surprise that Taylor Swift is everyone's favorite country star, or Rachel Ray their preferred TV chef. Why waste the time, energy, labor, and money it takes to televise these awards? What on Earth is the objective, other than to award pity prizes to popular things?
