CAPE TOWN: Former champions France failed to set the World Cup alight on Friday as they struggled to a 0-0 draw against 10-man Uruguay in an uninspiring start to their campaign. Rarely can a team have arrived at a World Cup with more baggage than France, unsettled by rumoured internal strife and criticised at home for poor form. They did little to appease their detractors against the South Americans, with neither side able to take the early initiative in Group A after South Africa and Mexico drew 1-1 in the opening match of the tournament. France coach Raymond Domenech raised a few more eyebrows by leaving not just Thierry Henry on the bench but also Chelsea”s Florent Malouda. Nicolas Anelka was tasked with the main goalscoring duties and Arsenal”s Abou Diaby drafted in for Malouda. But they looked far from convincing at a packed Green Point Stadium. Both sides started lively enough with France having a great opportunity to take an early lead on six minutes when the dangerous Franck Ribery gave his defender the slip down the left. The Bayern Munich star sent a low cross into the box with Sidney Govou”s outstretched foot sending the ball just past the post, a chance he should have buried. France came into the match under huge pressure after a string of average performances and they looked like they wanted to prove a point, with Diaby keeping the momentum going with a long range drive soon after. Uruguay were struggling to find their groove until Diego Forlan found space just outside the penalty area and curled in a shot that forced a fine save from Hugo Lloris. The game began opening up and minutes later Yoann Gourcuff tested the Uruguay keeper with a swinging free-kick that Fernando Muslera did well to punch away. But just as suddenly the match got bogged down in midfield and the chances dried up, with the teams going to the break all-square. The second half started as the first finished and it was becoming a turgid affair. Forlan showed glimpses of the form that bagged him so many goals last season, effortlessly bringing down a ball on his chest before blasting wide early in the second period. But the goalkeepers were hardly troubled with Anelka all at sea as France”s lone striker. He paid the price with Henry replacing him for his 121st cap with 19 minutes left. Malouda also came on for Gourcuff as Domenech threw his last dice, but to no avail with France failing to capitalise when substitute Nicolas Lodeiro was shown a red card for a wild challenge on Bakary Sagna with eight minutes left.

The band has some wacky ideas for what else game’s developers can do with their avatars. By James Montgomery “Green Day: Rock Band” One of — OK, probably the — biggest perk in getting your own video game is actually being in the game itself. At least that’s what the guys in Green Day told us when we asked them about the just-released “Green Day: Rock Band.” It seems that, much like James Cameron, the band was avatar crazy. “We look like superheroes!” frontman Billie Joe Armstong laughed. “You know, it’d be interesting if they made the ‘Rock Band’ version of us getting out of bed in the morning, you know, like, scratching yourself and then making coffee.” “They were pretty gracious. They didn’t give me nearly as many pimples as I had when I was younger,” bassist Mike Dirnt added of the game’s developers. “They managed to somehow make me look a little better than I did when I was younger [and] now too.” And while “Rock Band” may make Armstong, Dirnt and drummer Tre Cool look even better than they normally do (no offense intended) and goes to great length to capture their likenesses at various stages in their career — from scowling, scatological-minded kids to well-worn, worldly vets — the guys in Green Day wonder why the developers didn’t take the avatar technology one step further. The way they see it, the possibilities are endless. “They’ve got to come up with like, a beer bottle, for [when] you’ll play the guitar, and then you reach for a drink and then, you can get points right there … it’s like, the whole graphic will show up, you know?” Armstrong smiled. “A lit cigarette at the top of the guitar, [smoke it] put it back. [There’s] no end to the possibilities.” And if the avatar situation can be that advanced, why stop there? “There could be interviews in the game too. Like, a concept where you have a journalist that comes up with the microphone and [the player] will have a microphone and have to match the interview,” Armstrong said. “You know, get it right, you get points off that. It’s a great idea — you guys, are you writing this down?” “They can call it ‘Embedded Journalist 2!’ ” Dirnt laughed. MTV News is celebrating the release of “Green Day: Rock Band” with a week of special coverage. For more on the game, check out our blog.

Built with the blue-laser diode of a dismantled Casio Green Slim projector, the $200 Spyder III is the world's most powerful portable laser. It can permanently blind you and set your skin—or anything else, really—on fire almost instantly. The diodes in Casio's new mercury-free Green Slim projectors apparently allow for unprecedentedly powerful portable lasers, and Wicked Lasers has gleefully harvested them for the 1 Watt Spyder III. Comparing it to the $2000 Sonar, the company's reigning portable laser powerhouse, Wicked Lasers explains that the blue Spyder III laser is 2000 times brighter to the human eye, and, at $200, 1/10th the price. http://gizmodo.com/5560206/the-spyder-iii-pro-arctic-is-a-real-life-lightsaber added by: pjacobs51

‘I couldn’t even finish the song,’ Tre Cool laughs to MTV News. By James Montgomery Green Day Photo: MTV News Through all the “Green Day: Rock Band”-related stories about dye jobs and song selections we’ve written this week, there remains one topic we haven’t explored yet. And, to be honest, it’s a fairly pertinent one: Are the guys in Green Day actually good at playing their game? You would think the answer would be yes, considering they wrote the songs and all. But, oddly, you’d be wrong. “Well I did an interactive thing with some random ‘Rock Band’ players all throughout the world, and I got my ass kicked really bad,” drummer Tre Cool laughed. “I couldn’t even finish the song.” “Tre got pwned,” bassist Mike Dirnt laughed. “I did! I got pwned!” Cool shrugged. “Pwned like a newb.” So while they might not be great at the game, at least the guys in Green Day are all pros when it comes to gamer lingo. But what, exactly, was it about the game that they found so difficult? “For me, it’s really hard. I think I’d rather play the guitar on the game. The drums are really hard,” Cool said. “But what’s cool about the kit that you get is, you can put it on free-play mode and the practice mode, and you’ve got an electric drum set. So it’s kind of cool.” “That’s actually really cool,” Dirnt added. And the electric drum set has an added feature, one “Rock Band” developers probably never even dreamed of: the power to annoy. “You can jam around in your living room and piss off the neighbors,” Cool smiled. “Like I care about pissing off the neighbors.” MTV News is celebrating the release of “Green Day: Rock Band” with a week of special coverage.

‘If it doesn’t happen, we’ll just look to do ‘Anchorman 3,’ ‘ Rudd jokes to MTV News. By Eric Ditzian, with additional reporting by Josh Horowitz Paul Rudd Photo: MTV News In late April, we broke the news that “Anchorman 2” was ready to go . With the stars taking salary cuts and Will Ferrell and director Adam McKay setting up a schedule to write the script, the production looked to shoot early in 2011 — until Paramount declined to OK the prospective budget . “So bummed,” McKay tweeted days after our story ran. “Paramount basically passed on ‘Anchorman 2.’ Even after we cut our budget down. We tried.” Yet fans of the 2004 comedy can’t quite give up the idea that we’ll never be treated to any further adventures of Ferrell’s Ron Burgundy and his news team of Brian Fantana (Paul Rudd), Brick Tamland (Steve Carell) and Champ Kind (David Koechner). So is there any chance “Anchorman 2” could somehow be revived? That’s a question only the studio can answer at this point. “It’s up to Paramount,” Ferrell said at the MTV Movie Awards . “They got to get their heads out of their you-know-whats and make that a reality. So the ball’s in their court.” For now, the “Anchorman” stars remain mystified about why Paramount hasn’t given them the green light. “The salaries are down,” Rudd told us. “I was actually talking to Adam McKay about this last night, and we don’t know. For some reason, they don’t want to make it, I guess. I hope it’s one of those things that does get resolved, because I think we’re all excited. “If it doesn’t happen, we’ll just look to do ‘Anchorman 3,’ ” he added. “The second one’s never good anyway.” Check out everything we’ve got on “Anchorman.” For breaking news, celebrity columns, humor and more — updated around the clock — visit MTVMoviesBlog.com .
