Why am I not surprised by this?

Sydney Leathers, the gal on the other end of self-destructive mayoral candidate Anthony Weiner's sexting scandal, has turned up at Vivid doing, at least for the moment, nude videos:

No word yet on whether she'll be doing two-somes with Farrah Abraham anytime soon. [shudders]

I was going to make a crack about how this dude can really pick 'em, but he's quite the piece of work himself. Good thing his wife is Hillary-like in that she's so focused on climbing that ladder, she doesn't care what her douchebag husband does.

sheesh!

Update:
Well, folks are still linking to this post, I guess there's never a lack of interest in famewhoring young ladies who willingly jump right into porn to maximize their 15 minutes of celebrity. So here's some more images of the toothy Ms. Leathers for you to . . . enjoy?
btw -- if you're that interested, the unedited images come up when you click on the sanitized versions showing on the page.

Update 2:
Oh gracious! On Hannity tonight, Ms. Leathers actually said she didn't think it was fair for people to engage in slut shaming her. Well, I can assure you that I have no intention of doing that here. If Sydney Leathers wants to capitalize on her 15 minutes of celebrity by doing porn and hosting events at gentlemen's clubs and whatever . . . I'm saying go for it.

New choice for Batman?

Theoretically, Zack Snyder will be basing the Man of Steel sequel to his Superman movie on the fabulous graphic novel by Frank Miller The Dark Night Returns and wants to be true to the original content of the novel.

Hold the phone! A comic adaptation true to the source material?! Who'd a thunk it? Certainly not MARVEL . . . assholes!!

Anyway, Miller's novel features an old and tired Batman who at one point takes on and nearly defeats Superman delivering one of the great lines in the genre:

"I want you to REMEMBER, Clark...in all the years to come...in your most PRIVATE moments...I want you to REMEMBER...my HAND...at your THROAT...I want...you to REMEMBER...the one man who BEAT you..."

Oooohhh . . .

Anyways, they're looking for someone to play the older version of Batman and some of the names sound better to me than others: Josh Duhamel, Jude Law, and Brad Pitt have me scratching my head. Gerard Butler seems a bit closer. Josh Brolin?!?! Not seeing that one.

But my thought is Jeffrey Dean Morgan:

If you've seen The Watchmen and read Miller's Batman novel (and if not, why not?), Morgan seems like a perfect fit to play an aging superhero. He's got the requisite bulk, the salt & pepper beard and the ability to play a convincing psychotic killer.

That's my thought anyway.

Update:
So I guess it's gonna be Ben Affleck as Batman?! Hmmm . . .
Not seein' that one either. But I suppose it's better than Jude Law. lolz!

Too politically correct these days?

So I was watching the Sports Reporters this morning, and the subject of the video of Eagles tight end Riley Cooper uttering a racial slur in a fit of anger came up. Commentator Howard Bryant pointed out that the NFL is, for all intents, a "black" league not unlike the NBA, and that Cooper would have to deal with his teammates over the remark.

While I'll admit that the n-word (I haven't seen the video but I'm assuming that's what he said) isn't a nice word to use -- ever listen to the rap coming out of passing cars when you're out and about? We're sort of back to the bit about it's okay if I say it, but it's bigotry if you say it again. Which is absurdly hypocritical.

Plus, the impression here is that blacks don't ever make derogatory remarks about whites these days. We had this in the Zimmerman case recently -- while everyone was trying so hard to prove that Zimmerman "profiled" Trayvon Martin, no one was commenting on the fact that Martin and his girlfriend both profiled Zimmerman as a homosexual child molester. Where was the outrage and examination over that? Why did Martin automatically assume the doughy, mild-mannered looking Zimmerman was gay and a pedophile?

I'm disappointed that no one brought this up. What pure as the driven snow black football player is going to judge this guy on what he said? Let he who without sin cast the first stone, you know? The stuff that goes back and forth on the football field when these guys play is pretty dicey. That's one of the reasons they don't feature high-gain mics in live broadcasts.

And then I was watching something the other day, I think it was in reference to Anthony Weiner's staff gal launching into a profanity-laced tirade, and one of the ladies commenting mentioned that the c-word should be banned from the English language.

Seriously?!

Like I mentioned above, ever hear some of the insults directed towards men from women nowadays? All that feminist empowerment has led to some pretty salty language and it seems okay for women to hurl demeaning comments towards men, but one particular word about female anatomy . . . ?

And not only that, but how many times have you heard women use that very word when yakking at another female? It's the same hypocrisy I mentioned above.

And don't get me started on how delicately we have to tread (I'm struggling to avoid using the word mince here) around anything that might offend gays. Look, you want equality? Then deal with equality in everything, that includes verbally taking one on the chin. There's plenty of bad words in the English language, and other languages as well. If we're going to get all "Thought and Speech Police" here we're going to have some pretty short conversations with each other from now on.

Hmmm . . . on review, perhaps that wouldn't be such a bad idea after all :-)

And also while watching the show, I noticed that my golfing cutie, Morgan Pressel was tied for the lead going into the final round of the Women's British Open. At least I think she was, that freekin' crawl is so hard to read. But if so, I'll be rooting for her.

Update:
Morgan finished tied for 4th place with a 5 under 283 for the tournament. Her prize money was $116,089 though as we saw with Phil's win at the British, she'll only see about half of that. Love those socialist tax brackets!
Way to go cutie!

Rule 5 Sunday -- improbably named hotness edition

I'm always loving models names, sometimes they are so attention grabbing. The first time I heard of Lacey Banghard I thought really?! Seeing as how she's British I'm sure it's pronounced "bingerd" or something like that with their usual understated pronunciation. But you know what it looks like. Yeah

So the other day, I'm trolling around the web and I come across one even better -- Helga Lovekaty. She had me at the name already, then that middle finger pic (#6) just reeled me in :-) Of course it doesn't hurt that she's drop dead gorgeous.

So enjoy this little gallery of hot gals with rockin' names.

Peavy gets his first start tonight

Jake Peavy is on the mound tonight for his first game with the Red Sox as they host the Arizona Diamondbacks.

As I write this, the Sox are up 5-2 in the top of the ninth. Peavy went seven innings, struck out seven and gave up two earned runs. That's a nice start and hopefully an indication of solid performances to come on the mound from a guy eager to get into the post season this year.

Update:
Sox win the game 5-2 on a game ending double play. Salty hit a rain-maker 2-run homer . . . nice stuff all around. A Rays loss will give Boston a two run lead in the East.

Late night hotness

I've always liked one shoulder dresses, but this works too . . .

Peavy changes Sox

I know . . . would have sounded cuter if I had been able to post this yesterday :-(

Anyway, the Red Sox made a last minute, three team deal to bring in veteran pitcher Jake Peavy from the White Sox. In Peavy, Boston gets a former Cy Young winner (2007) and three time All-Star. Additionally, the deal brings in another reliever (whose name I've forgotten) all for the price of all-glove-no-bat Jose Iglesias plus a few grapefruit league guys.

Was this a good deal? I don't know. Personally, I might have been willing to stand pat with who's on the team now. This kid Brandon Workman has impressed me in his three starts, and looks to be a solid guy to keep in the rotation. But Farrell and Cherry think Workman will be better in the bullpen with Peavy taking slow recovering Clay Buccholz's place.

Like I said -- I suppose. The guys are in first place again thanks to last night's win and a Rays loss. That may change tonight as Boston is getting shelled by the Mariners as I write.

Cherrington has earned my admiration for how he has re-tooled this team and brought them back from the brink so quickly, so I'll give him the nod on this acquisition. Possible that Peavy, who's been stuck with the last place White Sox, will burst out of the gate now that he's with a playoff bound team. And if he's the guy to help the Red Sox go deep this year -- then yahoo.

Fingers crossed
