Thought: Just came up with another idea for my next videoblog…

My next videoblog, I have came up with a topic of “Women Fighting In the UFC”. I would talk about more in detail why I think Dana is wrong and why women should be allowed UFC contracts to compete. I need to do a little research first. I don’t know much about women fighting in MMA since I don’t watch it too much but I have seen women fight in MMA before, and it’s pretty interesting in my opinion. Honestly, I think women are more dedicated and talented fighters than men are. A lot of men fighters are so boring. Women seem to make the fights more entertaining. I’m going to watch women MMA fights in youtube this weekend and then I”ll make the videoblog. It’ll come this weekend. I’m going to say that what the UFC is doing is discrimination.

I’m looking at UFC/MMA  forums and blogs about this, and man, it’s amazing how hateful men are about women fighting in MMA. Why do women fight? Because they love the sport just as much as the men do. Women love to hurt people, they like to do that for a living. Plus, most importantly, I’m 100% sure that women want to compete in UFC just like the men do. I’m pretty sure it’s perfectly legal for women to fight in the UFC. It’s just the boss’s decision, period.

UFC having their very first female fight would make history. They should make it happen. They will someday. Maybe Dana will one day change his mind. I doubt it though.

Report: Look like we won’t ever see Gina Carano compete in UFC ’cause Dana White discriminates against women…

UFC’s been around for years, but the company have never had women fight in the Octagon. It has always been men. Women DO fight professionally in MMA, but for some reason, they aren’t allowed to fight in UFC. I’m pretty sure women are allowed to fight in UFC, but for some reason, Dana White himself is not allowing it to happen.

TMZ, reports.

Come on now. If women can do Strikeforce and other MMA companies, then they should be allowed to do UFC. I would love to see Gina compete in UFC. It would certainly help PPV buy rates. Why do Dana have to be so discriminatory against women? I do like UFC and all, but I don’t like Dana. He’s an asshole and a selfish business man just like, Vince McMahon.

Happy Birthday: Janis Joplin

Yes, you can’t forget Janis. Have to pay your respects to Janis who is most famous for her cover of “Me and Bobby McGee” which the song was originally written by country singer, Kris Kristofferson. She’s also known for “Pieces of My Heart”, “Summertime”, “Cry Baby” and “Mercedes Benz”. Janis died of a heroin overdose in October of 1970. She was 27 at the time of her death. She would have been 67 today. RIP Janis, and Happy Birthday.

Happy Birthday: Robert Palmer

I’m posting this because Robert Palmer, a legendary singer/songwriter from the UK known for hits like, “Simply Irresistible”, “Addicted to Love”, “Bad Case For Loving You”, etc. birthday is today. I’ve admired his music for many years, and still love the guy’s music. He maybe pop and mainstream, but his songs are tight and so fun to listen to. He had a great singing voice, and he is in my opinion, one of the true great icons from the 80’s. This guy was the baddest rock star who made the coolest music videos. He just sang and dance, with hot women dancing behind him. He was the only male music artist to make rock n’ roll sexy in the 80’s. This is another artist that I think that deserves a Rock N’ Roll Hall of Fame induction.  Robert would have been 61 if he was still alive today. He died of a heart attack in Sept. of 2003. RIP Robert and Happy Birthday.

BREAKING NEWS: Anne Hathaway is Selina Kyle, Tom Hardy is Bane in “Dark Knight: Rises”!!!

Well, finally. Warner Bros and Christopher Nolan announced “The Dark Knight: Rises” villains today. Who are they? Anne Hathaway has been casted as Selina Kyle and Tom Hardy is Bane.

Read the press release by Warner Bros., here.

Carefully read the press release. Notice how the press release said, Anne will be playing Selina Kyle, and Catwoman’s name wasn’t mentioned. Does this mean Selina Kyle won’t be in the Catwoman costume? It is widely known that Catwoman’s real identity is Selina Kyle.

As for Bane is a good choice of a villain and in my website here, I’ve been saying that they should use Bane. Bane is a big and muscular villain, a wrestler physique type of villain. Bane only becomes big and muscular with a drug called, “Venom” when injected. If you think Tom Hardy isn’t fit for the role, have you seen shirtless pics of Tom online? The guy is fucking MASSIVE! He’s perfect for Bane.

Shirtless pic of Tom here:

That’s probably why he was hired because of his massive physique. Plus Tom played the villain a lot in other movies in his career and he does play a psychotic villain, that’s probably another reason he was hired, his acting talent.

Look like Tom will have to bulk up some more for this role. Remember, Bane was the first Batman villain to destroy Batman, break the Bat. So this is a great way to end the trilogy. I’m excited for the next Batman flick. Now they have the villains for the next Batman movie, I’m sure we’ll know who the villains will be for Zack Snyder’s “Superman” very soon!

Howard Stern on Piers Morgan tonight…

Yes, I watched it. It was a great show too. Howard is entertaining like he usually is. Basically, Howard just went on his show to explain himself. To get people to understand him better. Howard did a great job too. If you ever wondered why Howard is obsessed with sex so much, he was honest and open about that. He explained how he is fascinated by sex and how people get into it. He doesn’t have sex with other women though since he is married and he is faithful to his wife. Howard sure is not afraid of asking personal and sexual questions to people. If people refuse to answer sexual questions by Howard, the guy will talk you into it. For those who listen to him on Sirius, Howard will reveal your sexual life to the public. Piers asked him about all that stuff too. It was interesting.

Sex stuff aside, I loved it when Howard bashed Larry King and Jay Leno. He talked a lot about Robin Quivers, his side kick. He talked about his parents, career. He even talked about music and admitted he is a big fan of Miley Cyrus.

I don’t like Piers Morgan but I just watched this show for Howard. I’m sure it did well in the ratings too, ’cause Howard has a lot of fans and he is very popular.

Thought: I think Ricky Gervais should host the Oscars in 2012…

Comedian Ricky Gervais, is under a backlash in the media as you all should by now. Mostly about his so called offensive jokes he did about the celebrities at the Golden Globes. It was more of a roast. Ricky made fun of them all, in a negative and rude type of way. Ya know what? If people find his jokes offensive, then comedy is not for you. For your information, some people have a dark sense of humor. That’s the way I look at Ricky. His humor is dark. Insulting and picking on people in a humorous kind of way. If people are taking what he says seriously and whining about it, that just shows that he is a comic genius. I loved him on the Golden Globes the other night. I was laughing my ass off. Especially what he said about Hugh Hefner and Crystal Harris when Ricky compared Hugh to the Walking Dead TV series, lmaof! I also loved it when he said, that when presenters and winners walked off the stage, they were trying to figure out where to go, Ricky stares at them with a weird look on his face and says, “It’s like Pacman”.

Ricky’s a funny guy. Proves that he should have been the one to host the Oscars, and hope the Academy will consider him for 2012.

That’s what comedians do. It’s their job to pick on people. If you’re going to have a comedian like Ricky host an award show, then they should do their research on his history and background beforehand. Too late now, the people are already pissed at him.

I have no problem with the Robert Deniro speech either, there is nothing offensive of what he said about Javier Bardem. You have to understand that Deniro have always been a crazy and whacky guy too. All those characters Deniro played in the movies, shows how he is in real life, go figure.

The news reports are crazy today. It’s mostly talk about Ricky and the Robert Deniro speeches. Hell, Robert Downey Jr., went on stage to present an award for Best Actress, and he was talking kind of creepy and sexual to them, how come people aren’t offended at that?

Report: Van Halen to go back to the studio again for new record…

The reunited Van Halen, will return to  the studio again to record a new album with new original songs. The reason the band is going back into the studio is because, they want to go out on tour again and Eddie wants to have new songs for the tour. The current line up for Van Halen is of course, Eddie Van Halen, David Lee Roth, Alex Van Halen, and Wolfgang Van Halen. Bassist, Michael Anthony left the reunion to join the supergroup, Chickenfoot. This new album with Van Halen will be the first with David Lee Roth since the album, “1984”.

Read more on the story, here.

Van Halen haven’t been good since the Sammy Hagar era. I fuckin’ loved the Sammy Hagar era, more than David Lee Roth to be honest with ya. I thought Sammy was Van Halen and not David. The song “Right Now” is one of the best songs they’ve ever written.

I don’t know about their new album though. I love Eddie’s guitar playing, but with David singing in the band still, not sure how they will sound. Will they still sound like they did in the 80’s? I’ll wait ’til they release their new upcoming single and then I’ll decide if I want to get their new album or not. Hope their new record won’t suck.
