No, not Groovy at all. Getting divorced is bad enough, but when you’ve got to part with millions….ouch. England seems to be the place to divorce your celebrity significant other, especially if he’s a singer of a “certain age.” Phil Collins just got divorced to the tune of $45.5 million from his 3rd wife of eight years, Orienne Cevey - guess she couldn’t spend one more night? Phil Collins dumped 2nd wife via fax and she sue sue sued him to the tune of $32 million - this guy may want to invest in a pre-nup next time so he doesn’t have to lose anymore numbers.
How does Phil’s divorce match up with other celebrity divorces? Here’s whose hearts wallets got hit hardest:
10 . Mick Jagger & Jerry Hall - $15-$25 million (She auctioned off this wedding dress)
Welcome to the Weekly Booty, a new feature every Friday at Buzz Pirates where we recap some of the best loot we’ve dugg up on the net in the past week. Check out some of these treasures matey….
Celebrifi - The Top 6 “Celebrities”who shouldn’t be famous. They probably could have kept this list going for another 20 or so.
Tasty Booze - Thank the lord for Denise Milani, my pick in this week’s MySpace vs Celebrity challenge. I think I can finally bump Elizabeth Hurley from my “list”. Helloooooo Denise!
FrakinCool - Ginos love spray tan. Not new…but gets funnier every time. God, I am glad I don’t still live in New Jersey.
Politico - McCain doens’t know how many houses he owns. Way to connect with the common man Johnny boy!
BannedInHollywood.com - D-FENCE! I don’t care if this was Photoshopped or not. It made me laugh. Check out the dude in the crowd.
Trend Hunter- Haven’t had a chance to see Tropic Thunder yet? Heard all about the Tom Cruise cameo and other controversies with the movie? Here’s a clip from the movie that covers all bases.
FinalView.net - Thought you were good at Photoshop? Check out this speed drawing of Evangeline Lilly (Kate from “Lost”). First with clothes, then without!
I leave you with another hot glimpse of Denise Milani. You can find pictures of her practically naked all over the web (here are some great ass pictures for you Bryan). Yet, I couldn’t help thinking this is one of the sexiest. Have a great weekend!
Last night Microsoft launched Photosynth, a new imaging tool that allows the home user to create 3D images by mashing together multiple images of the same thing from different angles and perspectives. You can then zoom in, zoom out, spin stuff around, and check it out at all different angles. It could be a pretty cool thing as long as Microsoft doesn’t ruin it by keeping it too “Microsoft”.
I am sure it will only be a matter of seconds before the porn industry is all over this. For example, what good blue blooded horny male wouldn’t want to take their mouse and spin this picture of Denise Milani around?
To see more how PhotoSynth works, check out the video below. To see why you’d want to turn Denise Milani around, check out these pictures.
That’s right, I said it. Hurricanes are good for society because they weed out the idiotic, leaving the intelligent to survive and procreate. It is Darwinism at its finest. Just take a look at this Dodo bird who decided to go Kite Surfing in the middle of Tropical Storm Fay. Kevin Kearney remains in critical condition after winds up to 70 mph picked him up like a rag doll and slammed him face first into a building down the street.
Seriously, what was this genius thinking? What did he expect 70 mile per hour winds to do with his meek little body? Ironically, Kevin’s calendar for next weekend shows another thrill seeking adventure - standing up to a Mac truck barreling down Route 95 at 60 miles per hour. “No problem”, thought Kevin, “its 10 mph slower”.
The Buzz Pirates are not entirely heartless. We hope he makes a quick recovery. Well…everywhere except his reproductive system.
Update: Looks like WFOR-TV, the CBS affiliate from Miami, pulled the video from YouTube. You can see the original here. Enjoy the Fox News version below (even better).
Good day people of Internet, this is your captain speaking. No, wait, this is not your captain speaking because Captain Buzz in on vacation probably looting some ships on the high seas.
This is Cuzzy, your substitute poster for the day, you can visit my small piece of blog real estate over at Cuzoogle when you are done here of course.
I am here today to brag about my new friend Darth Vadar. That is right, you heard me. I am friends with the baddest ass in a galaxy far, far away and you know how I know this? Because Digg says so. Yep just the other day I got an email saying Darth Vadar wanted to be me friend. How can I say no to that and not expect to drop to the floor struggling for air. So as fast as the Millennium Falcon enters lightspeed I accepted and became friends.
Pretty fricken cool eh? I wonder if he can make my posts go popular faster?
Are you friends with Darth (that is what his friends call him)? Yeah well if you are not and want to I can hook you up with D with a handy link below.
Okay so without any more bragging, here is a list of the coolest people that I am friends with on Digg. Before you comment and point out the obvious, I know they are not real (or are they?). But you know what, it still sounds cool when I tell my non-Internet friends who I was shouting with all day long. Yep I need to find a life.
Almost as cool as Darth is me being friends with the leader of the Autobots. I have to admit growing up I was more of a Decepticon kind of guy but this works.
Now this one could either be one of the boys from Pearl Jam or the guy who played in the NBA. Doesn’t matter, they are both cool to me. Nice try trying to throw me off with the spelling.
Neil Patrick Harris you can’t fool me. I have been telling all my friends that we exchange Diggs. Can’t believe you did not grab Digg-ie Howser as a screen name though.
Digg has never been so cool. I bet making stories popular helps ease the pain of knowing his kids have a freak for a mom. Keep those shouts coming K-Fed. I always Digg your stuff.
Wow, this could be the holy mother of Digg friends, pardon the pun. My Mum was so happy when I told her I had made friends with God. She told me that she knew the day would come and that she looks forward to me going to church on Sunday. Little does she know, I will probably be sending shouts instead.
Who are you friends with?
Tell us all who your favourite friends are on Digg. Can you top Darth and OP?
If you had even the smallest laugh over the last 47 seconds, I invite you to add me to your Digg list. If not, it was fun guiding you around today and I promise that Mr. Buzz Pirate will be back soon to restore some kind of order.
Sometimes Viagra is just not enough. Check out this hilarious video from National Banana featuring Cuba Gooding Jr. getting the most out of 36 hour Cialis. I guess this gives whole new meaning to the warning label “seek emergency medical attention if your erection is painful or lasts longer than 4 hours”.
This Just in From the Buzz Pirates Fake News Desk:
Beijing, China- Despite his unbelievable streak of 11 gold medals in swimming, Olympic hero Michael Phelps drowned today in an attempt for medal number 12. Although he was fitted with floaties on both arms, a life jacket and an inflatable ducky around his waist, Phelps was unable to avoid drowning in 4 feet of water during the 200m Men’s Freestyle event. Sports Illustrated previously printed that if “Michael Jordan and Tiger Woods had a baby, and you threw that baby in the water, he would be Michael Phelps.” Sadly, those words rang all too true today at the Beijing National Aquatics Centre, as Phelps showed the swimming prowess of a newborn from the second he entered the pool.
NBC’s Olympic coverage of the event has been around the clock. The 3am broadcast of running or ping pong or horse slapping or something Belgium is good at was interrupted for a special report by Bob Costas. The slightly boyish/slightly old/somewhat trollish looking (but always classy) Costas stated this was “the worst American Olympic tragedy of this type since Seoul 1988 when Greg Louganis dove into a pool with no water in it.”
University of Hawaii Swimologist Dr. Lance Pool has long been an advocate for the anti-drowning movement. Shocked by the Phelps tragedy, the author of Staying Afloat and Swim for Your Life told us that he firmly believes that “swimming is still the best way to keep from drowning.”
US flag waving onlookers were aghast at the sight of Phelps’ behavior from the beginning of the race. A full minute before the official start, the 2007 Speedo Man of the Year, Michael Phelps yelled “cannonball” while holding his nose. He jumped into the pool, bumping into French swimmer Alain Bernard and nearly knocking him into the water in the process. Race officials said it was probably the most disturbing display of horseplay since the shameful “Mark Spitz incident” at the 1972 Munich games. In Germany that year, Spitz ran around the slippery surface surrounding the pool in a reckless manner, yelling the whole time. When race officials urged him to stop, so that he would not “crack his head open” and pleaded with him to use his “inside voice,” Spitz jumped in the pool and relieved himself screaming “I have to go onesies!” As a result of the embarrassing affair, Munich Olympic officials installed the now infamous “we don’t swim in your toilet, please don’t pee in our pool” sign which hangs in Munich Municipal Pool to this day. As punishment for the event, US Swimming Federation officials took away Spitz’s favorite mustache comb for 2 weeks. In Phelps’ case, US Swimming Federation officials were planning on a punishment of “no Nintendos for a month.” Fortunately Phelps died, so they would be spared the sad look on his face that was sure to follow the entire plane ride back to the States.
The tragedy calls into question Olympic Swimming safety precautions in Beijing. For instance, there have been over 30 Olympic swimming events scheduled for this year’s games, yet there hasn’t been a lifeguard on duty for a single one of them. In addition, it has been reported that Michael Phelps ate a hamburger, a hotdog and a big piece of ice cream cake a mere 10 minutes before entering the pool.
These types of shenanigans and blatant disregard of safety have brought Congressman Dryton T. Desert’s controversial proposition 47 back into the nation’s collective conscience. Proposition 47 called for the destruction of all of the nations swimming pools. Congressman Desert called for an “end to the nations wet menace” and for a “cease fire of all the splashing.” Some called the Congressman a revolutionary, some called him insane, still more simply said that he was being a baby about getting thrown in the pool while wearing a suit at the House of Representatives annual Pool Party and BBQ back in 1989.
Regardless, the untimely demise of Michael Phelps will be sure to spark a lot of talk once every four years during Olympic coverage. Someone will probably even refer to him as a hero, because of how he, um, you know, swam all fast and whatnot. Skip Sunray from Swim Magazine had this to say. “Michael Phelps has appeared on the cover of Swim Magazine, like, 10 straight times. We’ve called him the greatest swimmer in the history of time. I don’t understand how this could have possibly happened. I guess he forgot his buddy or something.”
Tomorrow is the release of one of the most successful videogame franchises - Madden 2009 NFL Football. Happy Maddenoliday. The game is top notch, although with an exclusive licensing agreement with the NFL, there really is no competition.
Every year the people at EA Sports pick a player to put on the cover of their flagship franchise. This year for the 20th anniversary of the game they picked a doozy of a player to put on the cover. Brett Favre’s saga has taken up plenty of space in the Sports section and now he’s landed on the New York Jets. Hmmm, I’m sure that this is going to make the Jets a boatload of cash, still this whole situation is kind of like dating your Ex. You just know its going end badly.
In any case, only time will tell if the new Jet legend will have anything left in the tank after 16 years in Green Bay or whether he just sell alot of number 4 jerseys. You can even download a new cover for Madden 2009 featuring Favre in a Jets jersey. Will he fall under the spell of the Madden Curse is the real question. Here is a short history lesson of the subject (quick note the year of the game is generally 1 year ahead of the season - hence the game coming out tomorrow is Madden 2009):
1989 - 2000 - John Madden on the cover. “Here’s a guy who’s not afraid to put himself on the cover of his own game”
2000: Madden still on the cover, with a background picture of Barry Sanders. The Detroit Lions running back retired abruptly before the season and never played a down in 1999-2000 season. Dorsey Levens was thes substituted in a new cover for the game, but he developed knee problems and cut by the Packers at the end of the 2001 season.
2001: Eddie George, Tennessee Titans running back. Had a great season and then dropped an important pass in a Divisional Playoff loss to the Baltimore Ravens. The following season was injuried filled for him
2002: This was probably the year that the curse really started to take shape. Dante Culpepper had been tearing up the league the year before. He led the Vikings to the NFC Championship Game and was riding high. He appears on the cover then suffers a knee injury and the Vikings go 5-11 the year Culpepper is on the cover.
2003: Ok, so this curse thing can’t effect a bona fide superstar like Marshall Faulk can it? Sure can. After four straight years of rushing for over 1300 yards for the Rams, and appearing in two Super Bowls in three years his rushing total dropped under 1000 yards and St. Louis went 7-9.
2004: One day after Madden 2004 came out, Michael Vick suffered a fractured fibula and only played in 5 games. Oh, and then there was that whole dogfighting thing. Mike Vick had it all and was the exciting face of the Falcons and the NFL… he lives in jail now.
2005: Ok, Ray Lewis had to be a safe choice, right? Perhaps the greatest leader/motivator in the NFL had 6 interceptions in 2003. The year he was on the cover, he had 0 interceptions and the Ravens missed the playoffs (after making it 4 of the last 5 years). Sorry Jeff, but then in 2005 Lewis suffered a torn right in hamstring in week 6, sat out the rest of the season and Baltimore finished a disappointing 6-10.
2006: Donovan McNabb was the picture of constitency and performance for the Philadelphia Eagles. Five straight years in the playoffs and then a Super Bowl matchup against the Patriots. McNabb even joked that he didn’t believe in the curse. But, alas, first game of the 2005 season and boom, sports hernia. He played hurt (and never gets the respect he deserves) and then sat out the final 7 games of the season.
2007: Shaun Alexander had led the Seahawks to the Super Bowl and had an amazing season. The 2005 NFL MVP was was breaking records and cementing his legacy. But in week three of the 2006 season he broke his left foot and he hasn’t been the same since.
2008: Vince Young - Tennesse Titans. Hmm, this may be the one that broke the curse. Still its worth mentioning that the young quarterback hurt his quadriceps in his right leg in week 5 of the 2007 season and missed the first game of his career…including NFL, college, high school and middle school.
Only time will tell if Brett Favre will fall victim to the Madden curse. This pirate is routing for Number 4…but alas, methinks he’s cursed.
Getting divorced is bad enough, but when you’ve got to part with millions….ouch. England seems to be the place to divorce your celebrity significant other, especially if he’s a singer of a “certain age.” Phil Collins just got divorced to the tune of $45.5 million from his 3rd wife of eight years, Orienne Cevey - guess she couldn’t spend one more night?
