Sasha Cohen Assumes Position

Here’s my favorite figure skater Sasha Cohen doing what I’m guessing is her training in the park. I don’t know what muscles this works, but it definitely gets the Tuna stamp of approval. Anyway, let me know if you need a spotter next time, Sasha. Or a new photographer. I’d be more than happy to volunteer for either position.

For The Ladies: Joe ‘The Fine Azz Werewolf From True Blood’ Manganiello Flexes His Shredded Abs For Men’s Health Magazine

For the ladies… True Blood’s hunky werewolf, Joe Manganiello , covers the July/August issue of Men’s Health, available for download, June 17th. Manganiello opens up about his real-life superhero moment, getting that famous werewolf body and how losing everything made his success even better. Highlights from the interview via Men’s Health : On his career rock bottom : “About 6 months after the shoot ended {for Spiderman}, I got thrown out of my apartment for not paying rent,” he says. “Lost my car. Lost all my clothes. Furniture. The sheriff gave me 5 minutes to collect my things in a duffle bag and leave the apartment.” On why he won’t be like his Hollywood heroes: “My heroes back in drama school were the hard-drinking guys—both actors and rock stars,” Manganiello says. “But that’s not who I was meant to be. I wasn’t meant to get away with stuff. It was the universe’s way of telling me, ‘You’re not allowed to do this half-a$$ed.’ ” On his real-life superhero moment: “A friend of mine and I were moving a refrigerator, and it fell down the stairs. I caught it—in the air—and put it down.” On where he spent his True Blood earnings: “All the money I was paid as a guest star that year—which was not a lot, after I’d paid out my expenses—I spent on training,” he says. “I netted zero. I lived off my savings, hoping my car didn’t break down. I just put everything into seeing what I could actually do. I think that was the shift.” On what he thinks the physique of an alpha dog should look like: “I’m playing a werewolf,” he says. “I want to look sinewy. I want to look like an animal when the shirt comes off, but I want it to be a bit misleading when I have the shirt on.” On training to be True Blood’s Alcide Herveaux: “It was very fast-paced, no rest between sets, getting the heart rate up,” he says, as opposed to what he’d been doing before: “Lift heavy, hang out, get back under it.” By the time the shirt came off, he was down to 220. Although he didn’t test his body fat before or after, he figures he lost more than 20 pounds of fat while gaining a few pounds of muscle. On how diet contributes to his training: “I don’t think I’ve ever counted calories in my life,” he says as he digs into the steak. “I have no idea. I eat to build. If it doesn’t build something, it’s superfluous.” We’re happy to see Joe striving after such struggle! Check out more hot shots of him below: Photo Credit: Emily Shur Continue reading

WATCH: Repetitive Trailer For ‘The Internship’ Could Double As Google HR Training Video

To paraphrase the Who’s classic song ” Won’t Get Fooled Again” :  See the new trailer/Same as the old trailer.  Seriously, there’s not a whole lot different in the second official trailer to be released for the Vince Vaughn  and  Owen Wilson buddy comedy The Internship .  We get the same fisting joke, the same Flashdance riff, scenes of a smarmy Max Minghella being an ageist dick, and, oh wait, here’s something that’s different:  In the new trailer, Google   executive  Mr. Chetty ( The Daily Show ‘s Aasif Mandvi) gives the interns a little HR quiz and asks them if dating a fellow intern is okay. Google HR Training Video #1 In the second trailer, Mandvi asks — cue dramatic music — a different question: whether having a beer with your boss is kosher. What’s not different: Vaughn and Wilson answer “Yes” to both questions when…the answer…is…no! Google HR Training Video #2 If you notice any other differences, please reveal them in the comments section. Follow Frank DiGiacomo on  Twitter. Follow Movieline on  Twitter.

Kobe Bryant Achilles Injury Prompts Epic Facebook Rant

For weeks, Kobe Bryant has been carrying the Los Angeles Laker and their playoff chances on his back. But it was a different body party that felled the superstar last night, as Bryant likely tore his Achilles Tendon and is out for the rest of this season and at least half of next season. Even the biggest Laker hater has to be shaking his or her head at the news. Who wants to see a legend go out in such a way? Kobe Bryant Injury But is Kobe done for good? The injury – and perhaps some pain medication – prompted Bryant to go on an EPIC Facebook rant this morning at 3:30. It includes words of doubt, inspiration… and a warning to any bear looking for a fight. And it’s worth just reading in its entirety below: This is such BS! All the training and sacrifice just flew out the window with one step that I’ve done millions of times! The frustration is unbearable. The anger is rage. Why the hell did this happen ?!? Makes no damn sense. Now I’m supposed to come back from this and be the same player Or better at 35?!? How in the world am I supposed to do that?? I have NO CLUE. Do I have the consistent will to overcome this thing? Maybe I should break out the rocking chair and reminisce on the career that was. Maybe this is how my book ends. Maybe Father Time has defeated me…Then again maybe not! It’s 3:30am, my foot feels like dead weight, my head is spinning from the pain meds and I’m wide awake. Forgive my Venting but what’s the purpose of social media if I won’t bring it to you Real No Image?? Feels good to vent, let it out. To feel as if THIS is the WORST thing EVER! Because After ALL the venting, a real perspective sets in. There are far greater issues/challenges in the world then a torn achilles. Stop feeling sorry for yourself, find the silver lining and get to work with the same belief, same drive and same conviction as ever. One day, the beginning of a new career journey will commence. Today is NOT that day. “If you see me in a fight with a bear, prey for the bear”. Ive always loved that quote. Thats “mamba mentality” we don’t quit, we don’t cower, we don’t run. We endure and conquer. I know it’s a long post but I’m Facebook Venting LOL. Maybe now I can actually get some sleep and be excited for surgery tomorrow. First step of a new challenge. Guess I will be Coach Vino the rest of this season. I have faith in my teammates. They will come thru. Thank you for all your prayers and support. Much Love Always. Mamba Out

Who Run The World? Lady Kicker Lauren Silberman Will Be The First Woman To Try Out For NFL!

Can she kick it? Lauren Silberman To Become First Woman To Try Out For NFL Via NYDailyNews Even if kicker Lauren Silberman doesn’t catch the eye of a single NFL team during her tryout Sunday, she will have made a significant impact on the history of the league. Silberman is the first woman to perform at an NFL regional combine, 10 smaller combines that provide a chance for lesser known prospects to make an impression on scouts. She will kick at the Jets facility in Florham Park, N.J., Sunday with fellow prospects – all male – in hopes of sparking an interest from teams that might draft them late or send them an invite to training camp. Silberman, 28, doesn’t have nearly as much experience as some of the other kickers vying for NFL roster spots. The first female registrant played club soccer when she was in college at Wisconsin, but only recently began kicking field goals. Silberman told USA Today she “saw the opportunity and had to go for it.” The kicker continued, “I love football, new experiences, and wanted to take the chance to learn more about the training process that leads to a successful NFL career.” Some of these male kickers ain’t isht, no reason this broad shouldn’t get a shot to be ain’t isht too. “I was not aware that I was the first female registrant,” Silberman said to NFL.com. “I was actually hoping that the 2012 historical milestone rule, to allow women to play, would prompt more women to attend tryouts this year. But for me, what’s important is to finally have a chance to fulfill my dreams by trying out to play in the world’s most competitive football league.” Good luck girl, the NFL is most notorious “good ol’ boys” club this side of the Illuminati. If you should make the a team that locker room is going to be VERY interesting. Via MyFoxOrlando

You Can’t Be Serious: 200 Utah Teachers To Be Given ‘Concealed Weapons Training’ In Wake Of Sandy Hook!?!?

This sounds like a safe idea… According to The Daily Mail , Utah lawmakers aren’t too happy about the planned weapons training convention that’s set for tomorrow: The Utah Shooting Sports Council has said they usually gather around a dozen teachers each year for training to carry concealed weapons but this year demand skyrocketed after the tuition was offered for free. The powerful lobby claims that the Sandy Hook Elementary School massacre in Connecticut has been the catalyst for the massive interest, but Carol Lear, a chief lawyer for the Utah Office of Education said that the move was a ‘terrible idea.’ Arguing that teachers could be overpowered for their guns or misfire causing an accidental shooting, Lear said: ‘It’s a horrible, terrible, no-good, rotten idea.’ More than 200 Utah teachers are expected to pack a convention hall on Thursday for six hours of concealed-weapons training as organizers seek to arm more educators in the aftermath of the school shooting carried out by Adam Lanza in which 27 people, including 20 first-grade children died. The Utah Shooting Sports Council said it normally gathers a dozen teachers every year for instruction that’s required to legally carry a concealed weapon in public places. The state’s leading gun lobby decided to offer teachers the training at no charge to encourage turnout, and it worked. Organizers who initially capped attendance at 200 were exceeding that number by Wednesday and scrambling to accommodate an overflow crowd. ‘Schools are some of the safest places in the world, but I think teachers understand that something has changed – the sanctity of schools has changed,’ Clark Aposhian, one of Utah’s leading gun instructors, said Wednesday. ‘Mass shootings may still be rare, but that doesn’t help you when the monster comes in.’ Gun-rights advocates say teachers can act more quickly than law enforcement in the critical first few minutes to protect children from the kind of shooting that left 20 children and six adults dead December 14th at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut. We understand wanting to feel safe but how would you feel if this was your kids school?? Images via tumblr
