That isht cray! Tebowing To Be Included In New Madden 13 Video Game “Tebowing” has made its way to “Madden NFL 13,” according to the game’s creative director Mike Young. Young made the announcement on his Twitter account, but it was not clear when or how the popular kneeling pose — inspired by Jets quarterback and devout Christian Tim Tebow, who is known for dropping to one knee in prayer — will be used in the EA Sports game. Tebowing, which also requires placing a fist on your forehead, has been mimicked across the world and spawned a website where people can submit pictures of themselves striking the pose. The game is set to be released on Aug. 28, with Detroit Lions receiver Calvin Johnson on the cover. No one can agree if Tim Tebow is a good quarterback or not, but he’s provocative, he gets the people GOING!!! #BallSoHard Images AP Images/EA Sports Source

Shinin’ on them hoes!! The New York Giants Get Their Superbowl Championship Rings According to TMZ reports : The New York Giants FINALLY got their Super Bowl rings last night — three months after winning the championship — and they’re more beautiful than we could ever have imagined. The ring — designed by Tiffany & Co. — is made of white gold and COVERED in diamonds. The top of the ring alone is lined with 37 blue sapphires. The ring (pictured above on cornerback Will Blackmon’s finger) also includes the final score of Super Bowl XLVI (21-17) — when Giants trounced the New England Patriots for the second time in four years. The four Vince Lombardi trophies (look for the footballs) represent the team’s four championships (1986, 1990, 2007 and 2011). It’s hard to put a value on something like a Super Bowl ring — but the hardware alone is probably worth five figures. Congratulations gentlemen, no one wanted to see the Patriots win another one anyway LOL!

Rohan Marley, the son of reggae legend Bob Marley and ex of Lauryn Hill, has gotten engaged to Brazilian Sports Illustrated model Isabeli Fontana. Fontana said the couple plans to wed in Ethiopia, where the Rastafarian movement was founded. According to Contact Music, she told Veja magazine: “Rohan told me we have to return to the roots so the marriage will last forever.” Fontana, 28, has been divorced twice, to model Alvaro Jacomossi and actor/model Henri Castelli. The model has a son from each of those marriages. Marley, 39, dated former Fugees singer Lauryn Hill, 36, from 1996-2011. Hill often referred to him as her husband, though their relationship status was never revealed until they broke up. The couple had five children together. He also has two children from his previous relationship with Geraldine Khawly, who he married during college and was still married to when he met Hill. He made headlines last year when it was reported that Marley left Hill for Fontana while Hill was pregnant with another child , allegedly to another man. “Contrary to the numerous reports, Mr. Marley did not abandon me while pregnant with his child. We have had long periods of separation over the years but our 5 children together remain a joy to both of us,” Hill said, refuting that rumor. Congrats to Rohan and Isabeli!
Manny Pacquiao is standing by his criticism of same-sex marriage, but denies giving some of the strongly-worded quotes in a recent article about his views. The athlete, regarded by many as the best pound-for-pound boxer on Earth, criticized gay marriage in the wake of President Obama’s recent support of it. Pacquiao DOES NOT, however, believe gay people should be put to death, or treated intolerantly, blaming the media for distorting his take on the subject. Manny has been under scrutiny since the National Conservative Examiner published an interview in which he said that gay marriage is against the will of God. The article includes a reference to Leviticus 20:13, which says gays “must be put to death.” But Pacquiao says he never said that or referenced the verse. The boxer said in a statement, “I didn’t say that, it’s a lie … I didn’t even know that quote from Leviticus because I haven’t read the Book of Leviticus yet.” He also made a point to say, “I’m not against gay people … I have a relative who is also gay. We can’t help it if they were born that way.” “What I’m critical of [sic] are actions that violate the word of God. I only gave out my opinion that same sex marriage is against the law of God.” Gay marriage :
Move over, Darren McFadden . According to reports, Rihanna is turning her attention over to another random athlete in the New York Knicks’ J.R. Smith. Sources tell In Touch that the two are a thing. A fake thing, probably, but good enough for 2-3 hours of celebrity gossip before she denies it on Twitter. The two were spotted, allegedly, getting cozy at Veranda nightclub in NYC. “They were very flirty in the club all night and holding hands,” an eyewitness tells the magazine. “She was sitting on his lap and was really into him.” How serious is it? Not very. But those who know the wild child say she’s attracted to bad boys like J.R., who’s no stranger to raising eyebrows himself. J.R. Smith, 26, made headlines in March when he was fined $25,000 by the NBA after tweeting a pic of a woman’s ass in a thong from his bed. Classy. “He is the team’s most controversial player, so it’s no wonder that Rihanna likes him ,” says a source. In the past, the singer has said of her “type”: “I definitely like high-risk guys. I don’t like cream puff, corny guys… the nice ones that won’t hurt you. I like the edge. That’s the thrill for me.” Insert obvious Chris Brown comment here.
‘I like how it came out overall for real. It’s just a good feeling,’ Diggy tells MTV News of his new video. By Rob Markman Diggy Simmons Photo: MTV News Diggy’s “Two Up” party isn’t over. On Friday, Young Mr. Simmons celebrated the premiere of his “Two Up” video with MTV’s RapFix blog, and the teenage MC was so excited that he sat with MTV News and broke down each scene in the Clifton Bell-directed clip. The vid begins with Diggy standing alone, playing air piano in time with the track’s opening keys. The action may seem insignificant, but it’s actually a key component to the song. “That was what really drew me to the track when I first heard the beat,” he said. “It was just those piano keys that I love.” As the beat begins to take shape, so does the video, and a bouncer begins to let Diggy’s specially invited guests into the party. Of course the crowd is compromised mostly of females. “There were so many girls at the shoot that we were like, ‘We have to get some dudes in the mix,’ ” Diggy said, laughing at the non-dilemma. “They were like New York, young kids, you know how they get,” the MC said of the video’s extras. “It was good energy and we didn’t even have to tell them to get hyped at no point in the video. I was feeding off of their energy when I was in front of them during those shots. It was just easy.” It wasn’t just the crowd that excited Diggy: The fashion-forward MC was also hyped at his on-camera wardrobe, though some of his favorite items didn’t even make the cut. In one scene Simmons sports a turquoise jacket with two mini-Jesus pieces around his neck. On his feet he wears a special pair of black and gold Air Jordan #6s that were released back in 2006 and now go for as much as $850 online. “I’m kinda mad that you didn’t get that in the shot,” Diggy said of his coveted footwear. Another key scene, in which a silhouetted Diggs dances across the screen, was actually inspired by another rap great. For the “Two Up” video, Simmons borrowed from Kanye West’s 2007 clip for “Homecoming.” “That whole silhouette idea is something that we drew inspiration from but made it a little different with the color, because that video is black and white,” he explained. “I like how it came out overall for real. It’s just a good feeling.” What do you think of Diggy’s “Two Up” video? Tell us in the comments! Related Artists Diggy Simmons
Sketchers is being sued for putting it’s foot in its mouth for some sketchy advertising Skechers USA Inc. has reached a settlement of $40 million for charges filed by the Federal Trade Commission for false claims about weight loss. Skechers claims its Shape-Ups shoes help people lose weight, along with its Resistance Runners, Toners and Tone-Ups shoes: The settlement also bans Skechers from falsely representing studies on the shoes in the future, including the following: *claims about strengthening; *claims about weight loss; and *claims about any other health or fitness-related benefits from toning shoes, including claims regarding caloric expenditure, calorie burn, blood circulation, aerobic conditioning, muscle tone, and muscle activation. Part of the settlement also includes allowing any consumer that purchased these shoes to be eligible for a refund. Skechers is disputing the charges and currently seeking additional studies to validate their representation of the effectiveness of their shoe line. SMH!! What happened to good ole’ fashioned diet and exercise? You don’t see people suing the Jordan brand because they can’t dunk? Plus, no matter horribly shaped you are, even if you’re shaped like a stadium, you should never, ever, feel bad enough to wear shoes that look like this. They’re way more uglier than rolls or stretch marks could ever be. Source Continue reading →
