Goodbye HD DVD Combo
“Mummy” movies to be the first to from Universal to hit Blu
Since Toshiba waved the white flag signalling the surrender of HD DVD in February, movie studios are turning their attentions to Blu-ray Disc for the release of high-definition content.
Universal Studios was the strongest content supporter of HD DVD throughout the format’s life, but quickly told the world that it would retool to begin releasing on Blu-ray Disc. Last week, Universal Studios said that it would release about 40 Blu-ray Disc titles this year.
The first Universal title to hit Blu-ray Disc that wasn’t originally on HD DVD will be Doomsday, which stars Rhona Mitra and Sean Pertwee, and is considered a box office slump with just under $11 million take-in according to Rotten Tomatoes.
Other new pictures to hit high-def only on Blu-ray Disc are The Incredible Hulk, Wanted, Hellboy II, Mamma Mia and The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor.
July 22 will mark the first Universal high-def movies to ship in blue boxes, with the release of the first two Mummy movies and the spinoff Scorpion King film.
Ok. Now we’re in the top 10 and the sports world has never been more on fire. So who are the top 10 most beautiful women in sports? Read on and find out…
10. Romi Bean
Ah, cheerleaders! Romi is one of the 34 members of the Denver Broncos cheerleader team. Wait a minute, did I just say 34? Holy crap, imagine what it must be to visit their changing room after the game….
9. Amanda Beard
This is our fifth swimmer? Man, what a blessed sport. Apart from being hot as hell, Amanda is also a fantastic swimmer. She made her first Olympic appearance at the age of 14! She also got featured in several publications, including Sports Illustrated, FHM and Playboy.
8. Maria Kirilenko
Yet another Russian tennis player, I know. But it would be pure negligence to leave Maria Kirilenko out of this list right? A bit of trivia: she is a very good friend of Maria Sharapova. I found this info Wikipedia, and I guess it will keep my imagination busy for a while.
7. Jenny Adams
This track and field American athlete got famous after she appeared on the FHM magazine “Sexy Olympic” edition. She will probably participate in the next Olympic games too, so keep an eye for the lady.
6. Daniela Cicarelli
Not a sportswoman, but the ex-girlfriend of Ronaldo. He is one of the best soccer players of all time, but letting this girl go was definitely a dumb thing to do. The picture says it all, I am speechless.
5. Maria Sharapova
This is a woman not for the faint of heart. At 6 feet and 2 inches, the Russian beauty is a former number one tennis player in the world. And she only has 20 years. I just couldn’t find if she is engaged (personally I prefer to think she is still a virgin).
4. Haley Cope
Haley was born in Chico, California. Her best swimming performance was the gold medal on the world championship. We would be her fans even without these achievements though, especially after she appeared on Maxim and Playboy.
3. Alisson Stokke
Allison is a pole vaulter for the California high school. She doesn’t have any major sport achievements to date, but she became immensely popular on the Internet after a big website featured her pictures. Well, after I saw the images I became her biggest fan immediately.
2. Bia e Branca
No, you are not seeing double. They are actually twins. These two hot bombs come from Brazil, and they represented their country on the 2007 Pan American games on the synchronized swimming. I was able to read the local press during the event, and they received most of the coverage. No wonder why!
1. Ana Kournikova
We know that placing Ana Kournikova on top of a “hot” list is becoming a cliché. Trust us that we really tried to find someone else. After the strenuous task of analyzing ever curve of her body, on every picture that we could find on the web, we could not help but give her the first position. She is hot beyond what we thought was possible….

Clooney thrills fans at premiere
Posted April 9, 2008

Screen idol George Clooney was greeted by hundreds of screaming fans at the UK premiere of his new film Leatherheads.
The 46-year-old accompanied co-star Renee Zellweger to the Leicester Square screening of the romantic comedy.
Clooney plays an American footballer who gets caught up in a love triangle with a reporter in the 1920s-set film.
But he said that in real life, his sporting ambitions were frustrated: “I did have two try-outs with the Cincinnati Reds. I only lacked talent.”
At one point, wannabe Nancys from the BBC One show I’d Do Anything joined crowds outside the Odeon Leicester Square.

Asked at a press conference before the premiere about his appeal to women, Clooney joked: “What’s not to love? How much time do we have? I think it’s really hair.”
Co-star Zellweger, 38, added: “It looks almost natural.”
Earlier in the day, Clooney visited Downing Street to discuss the Darfur crisis with Prime Minister Gordon Brown.
Leatherheads, which opened to mixed reviews, has recorded disappointing takings in the US.
It came third at last weekend’s North American box office, behind gambling film 21 and fantasy Nim’s Island.
“I wish I could have that crystal ball and tell you what went wrong,” Nikki Rocco, head of distribution for Universal, said earlier this week.
