Paul Walker Kicks Ass

Paul Walker is by far my favorite actor. Joyride sucked, but everything else this guy turns up in is absolute box office gold (not taking revenue generated into account). He’s like a brooding combination of Mark Paul Gosselaar and Rick Schroder all rolled into one. If you’ve yet to accept Paul Walker as the most real dude in Hollywood, let me present his latest quote about other actors who cry about the hardships thrust upon them by their own fame (quotes courtesy of WWTDD):

"All these people who complain and bitch about it ... move. Get the fuck out. You don't like the press, why the hell are you shopping on Rodeo Drive? Come on, it's easy to disappear if you want to."

That’s certainly refreshing, but not near as cool as his statements about filming the movie “Into the Blue” with the exceedingly foxy Jessica Alba:

“Come on, dude, you know what I'm looking at. I couldn't take my eyes off that ass. I'm sorry. She's beautiful. And she's such a pain in my ass, too. But that's what I love about her. She's the kind of girl you just want to have angry sex with for the rest of your life because it's just that good."

I couldn’t give a better description of Jessica Alba myself. His slightly unnatural affection for animals in the newly released “Eight Below” may be the only thing that keeps Walker from overtaking Tom Brady as my heterosexual man-crush.

Sites, alteus, forteus...

Ever since America stopped honoring soldiers as heroes (thanks, you damn ungrateful hippies), it seems that as an alternative we often find influence and inspiration from the world of sports. Recently I was again reminded of the indomitable spirit of the pure athlete, the ability to overcome despite terrible setbacks and insurmountable odds. I’m not referring to one of those sappy vignettes from NBC’s coverage of the Olympic Games in Turino, but rather to last weeks Sports Illustrated Swimsuit issue.

Let us all celebrate the triumphant return of SI swimsuit model and uber-hottie Petra Nemcova! Nemcova barely escaped the jaws of death when last year’s terrible tsunami devastated Phuket, Thailand, where she has been vacationing. The exquisite Petra clung to life as the waves ravaged her, breaking her hip and causing severe cuts and bruises.
It’s always a shame when someone so hot suffers so, but a year later, Nemcova found her way back onto the pages of my swimsuit issue, (where she belongs) with a small tribute in her honor behind the “All star cover model Beach Party” section. I want to thank Ms. Nemcova for here drive and desire to return to what she loves, where she does so much good for so many others, inspiring a new generation. I don’t use the word “hero” very often, but I’m sure others will agree, that Petra Nemcova is a true international hero.

Hugo Chavez is a goof ball…

How ‘bout that Hugo Chavez? Somebody needs to remind this guy that Venezuela is still a few pegs down from global super power. Every time I here another quote from this guy I picture him sitting around in his underground lair calling Harry Belafonte “Number Two,” and deciding to go with the old classic of stealing a nuclear warhead and holding the world hostage for ONE BILLION DOLLARS! Chaves wants to end “American imperialism.” The only people who use the phrase “American imperialism” are anti- Americans and people who live in the U.S. who feel guilty for living in the richest country in the world, as if they themselves are causing other countries to live in squalor. If the U.S. were to practice real imperialism, and actually gave our rights and/or protections to other nations, third world countries would be fleeing like a member of Dick Cheney’s hunting party to every U.S. port. Some people confuse the spread of democracy with being imperialistic. They are called Socialist Dictators or Warlords. These are the only people who oppose democracy because in a democracy they would have to earn their political standing. I always want to see the look on some Iranian’s face when he hears Belafonte – sitting in his massive Bel-Air mansion – say that the U.S. is a terror state. That’s an interesting perspective from someone who lives his life in a perpetual day spa. Do you think that real terrorists get pissed off when people call President Bush a terrorist? I would.
