If you ever looked at Kate Upton , correctly realized that she was way out of your league, and then wondered if maybe she had a less famous but almost as hot sister, you’re in luck. Because here’s pictures of Kate and Christie Upton after watching men’s tennis at the US Open, proving that hotness does run in the family. Obviously Christie wasn’t quite as genetically blessed as her sister, but still, I definitely wouldn’t mind playing hide the sausage with those two. What, did you expect me to say playing doubles? Because that would be way less fun. I’m terrible at tennis. Photos: PacificCoastNews
Embattled rapper 50 Cent has been dropped from baseball’s All-Star Bash in new York in the wake of his domestic violence scandal, according to TMZ. 50 was all set to perform at the MLB party July 14 along with Kaskade, but the league has decided not to move forward with that for obvious reasons. He was charged with domestic violence last week following an alleged domestic dispute in California in June, though he denies kicking his baby mama . The MLB hasn’t confirmed this, but instead of 50 Cent headlining, the event’s Facebook page now promises two “surprise performances” for the party. It’s been quite a surprising recent turn of events for 50, who was also involved in a nasty exchange with his son Marquise, 16, over text message.
Olga Kurlenko as Head Mistress? Say no more, when’s the premiere? The Oblivion actress has joined the cast of the Vampire Academy adaptation as Kirova, the head mistress of the academy. Vampire Academy is a coming-of-age fantasy romance that tells the story of vampires in high school, adapted from a best-selling Young Adult novel series. So… Twilight ? No! Vampire Academy ! The story centers around a girl named Rose Hathaway, a half-vampire half-human called a Dhampir. She attends an Academy to learn how to properly use her abilities and take her place in the world. So… Harry Potter ? NO!!!! VAMPIRE ACADEMY! Zoey Deutch is signed on to play Rose, with Lucy Fry and Danila Kozlovski also starring. No production or release schedule has been announced.
Tim Tebow has been offered a gig in the wake of his release by the New York Jets . That’s the good news for TT. The bad news? It’s with the Lingerie Football League. And not even as a QB. They want him as a coach! The guy really cannot throw. The Legends Football League – formerly the Lingerie Football League apparently – has extended an offer to the man they hope will become its National Quarterbacks Coach. Tebow’s agent recevied a letter from LFL President Mitchell Mortaza. It reads: “Now that it appears Mr. Tim Tebow’s career in the National Football League may be coming to an end, we at Legends Football League would like to extend him an offer.” If the LFL has its way, he’ll “become our Quarterbacks Coach nationally.” No official duties or financial details were discussed in the letter. This is how far Tim Tebow has fallen. It’s sad, really. Still … better than nothing? Should he take it?

Latino Review is citing a source who says Warner Bros. has settled on storyline its 2015 Justice League movie. According to the tipster, the film will look to issues 183-185 of the Justice League comic, which was released back in 1980. That plot has Darkseid — confirmed as the movie’s villain — attempting to use a magical laser beam to blast planet Earth to bits and move his home world, Apokolips, into its place. Yikes! Latino Review ‘s stories are quite usually accurate, but until the news receives official confirmation, I’m taking this with a big-ass grain of Kryptonite. Besides, as cool as this sounds, there’s a hell of a lot more from DC’s storied history worth mining for the first cinematic team-up between Superman and Batman (and the rest, cough.) I think DC and WB need to consider all options available to them before committing, so to help them out, here are three other superpowered super stories worth exploiting: 1. Crisis on Infinite Earths (1985) By the 1980s, the DC universe had stopped making sense thanks to 40-plus years of superhero funnybooks that had been reactively and haphazardly modified to suit the aesthetic tastes of the times. Batman was both the grumpy avenger of the 1970s AND the campy 1950s version whose relationship with Robin unfairly inspired the moral panic book Seduction of the Innocent . Superman was both a stiff-necked last son of Krypton and the guy who had Krypto the Super Dog. No superhero’s official backstory made any sense at all, basically, and DC’s official explanation, the Multiverse (all these various contradictory versions of characters existed in numerous parallel dimensions) now made less sense than Mulholland Drive. To fix this mess, DC writer Marv Wolfman came up with Crisis , in which two godlike beings — The Monitor and his evil counterpart the Anti-Monitor — used DC’s various character incarnations in a battle over control of the Multiverse. Total destruction was narrowly avoided when even stalwart villains like Darkseid joined the fight to stop the Anti-Monitor — the result being that DC became a single universe once more and some inconvenient characters were erased seemingly forever from Continuity. (RIP: Supergirl and Barry Allen.) Subsequently, that universe was rebooted, and the next two years saw Superman restarted at issue 1 and the publication of both Batman: Year One and Batman: The Dark Knight Returns . Since Christopher Nolan’s Dark Knight series and Zack Snyder’s upcoming Man of Steel both take their cues from the post- Crisis DC universe, they don’t need a reboot, but not so the rest of the DC movie and television continuity. We know Darkseid is the villain of the Justice League movie, but that doesn’t mean his evil plan couldn’t have the happy result of willing the recent Green Lantern movie, and the old Wonder Woman and The Flash tv shows out of existence forever. A Crisis -inspired plot could give us new versions of those characters without the tedious need for any sort of origin-story movies. Just so long as Mark Hamill’s Trickster stays in the picture. 2. War of the Gods (1991) You know which character is unfairly ignored, despite frequent, abortive attempts to revive her onscreen? Wonder Woman . By far the DC superhero with the most potential for epic plots full of crazy mythology this side of Superman, Wonder Woman is an immortal demigod and the second most powerful active superhero in the DC universe. Too bad though, because instead of the terrifyingly powerful Amazonian princess we need, every attempt to bring Wonder Woman back ends up being some silly faux-feminist nonsense that manages more than anything else to infantilize the character. This is why of all the trepidations I have about Justice League , the most troubling is how she’ll be portrayed. Warner Bros. can fix this by basing the plot of Justice League on the War of the Gods crossover, which was created to celebrate Wonder Woman’s 50 th anniversary. That story had the ancient Roman gods go to war against the ancient Greek gods (which is kind of like the original cast of Beverly Hills 90210 starting a gang war with the cast of the CW’s 90210 ), while pantheons of other ancient cultures rose up and tried grabbing a piece of whatever was left. Wonder Woman and her fellow Amazonians of Paradise Island end up having to save Earth, with some help from DC’s other heroes (including a Brainwashed Captain Marvel). Darksied, being the antagonist of DC’s New Gods, is the perfect behind-the-scenes manipulator to rile the old gods. And best of all, it gives Wonder Woman, criminally neglected in filmed-entertainment for almost 40 years, a chance to be front and center of Justice League without it coming off as painful tokenism. 3. Hostess Snack Cake Wars Finally, we come to the greatest and the timeliest crisis for Warner Bros.’ Justice League to overcome: The horrifying shortage of Twinkies. From 1975 through the early ’80s, Hostess advertised heavily in the pages of Marvel and DC comics via a series of hilariously irresponsible short comics featuring each company’s superheroes and villains battling over control of — no, seriously — Hostess snack cakes. You can see the whole series of them here . Each adventure involved either some nefarious villain’s plot to steal or disrupt the supply of these delicious, obesity-causing confections — believe me, I know. #formerfatkid — or superheroes using Hostess cakes to foil criminal activity. No matter who lost, we won, however, because Vanilla Pudding Pies were the shit. Of course, now we know that if the average super villain was serious about destroying the supply of Hostess Ding Dongs and Twinkies, they should have gotten their MBA. So why not make this current event the basis of Justice League ? Have the ruler of Apokolips form an asset management company, buy Hostess, and loot it from the inside via perfectly legal tricks like destroying the employee fund. Thrill to the helplessness of the Justice League as they fail to convince a bankruptcy court that not only should Hostess employees get to keep their pensions, but that Darkseid is planning to destroy the universe. Darkseid could even run for president, citing his business acumen as proof of competence and rendering Superman painfully impotent as cable news channels constantly demand to see his Kryptonian birth certificate. Far-fetched? Hell yes, but no more so than the idea that unions are a force more evil than the Legion of Doom. So what would you like to see in the Justice League movie? Sound off in comments.

Looks like Nadine Velazquez ’s beyond belief nude debut in Flight (2012) has left her feeling wonderfully free and uninhibited, because she gave up a rare glimpse of primetime seat-meat last night on The League . An intrepid fan tweeted at the official account of the show, saying they doubted it was really her, and the show was quick to confirm that the keister is all Velazquez! The scene is shot from the classic body-double angle, but given Nadine’s amazing recent exhibitions (and closer skinspections) it seems that it is indeed her comely caboose. That round rump is in a League of its own! More pics after the jump!
It was Wallace#39;s 31st career ejection, most in the NBA since 1991-92, according to STATS, LLC. The temperamental forward has been called for more than 300 techs in his career, leading the league seven times. He said before the season that at 38 he was too old to be clashing with officials after a two-year retirement, but with four techs he is now within one of the league lead. Rasheed Wallace picked up two technical fouls and was ejected for the first time since returning to the NBA in the f
