Bobcat & Nikki Coxx got married after meeting on that show. Lucky Bobcat. And you know Nikki Cox and the guy that played Ryan her brother were dating each other the first year or two year on the show before she went out with Bobcat.

You sure as hell can when of the women is Sharon Stone.

http://www.eonline.com/News/Items/0,1,14603,00.html Brosnan Turns in Bond's Badge? by Joal Ryan Jul 27, 2004, 9:05 PM PT One way or another, Pierce Brosnan's days as 007 appear numbered. Varying reports have the suave Irish-born actor (a) writing off the secret-agent role after four films; or (b) getting the boot from youth-seeking producers. In an interview posted Tuesday on Entertainment Weekly's Website, Brosnan sounded like a man who has had it with introducing himself as, "Bond. James Bond." "That's it," Brosnan told EW. "I've said all I've got to say on the world of James Bond." Brosnan also sounded like a man who thinks his bosses should similarly get over the gadget-loving spy. "They don't know how to move on," Brosnan said of 007 producers. "A sense of paralysis has set in." Or has it? Last weekend, British tabs floated stories that it was producers who were ready to move on--without Brosnan. The U.K.'s Sunday Mail claimed that Bond's backers have decided the next film--the 21st entry in the official series--should be a turn-back-the-clock, lower-tech affair. Producers also have ruled the clock should be turned back on Bond--in the form of a younger, as yet uncast actor, the paper said. "Without all the special effects, the film will work best with a young, fresh actor," a source told the Sunday Mail. The 51-year-old Brosnan, who lost out on a chance to become Bond in the mid-1980s when TV's Remington Steele kept him otherwise engaged, has carried 007's badge for nearly a decade, beginning with 1995's GoldenEye. His other Bond adventures are: 1997's Tomorrow Never Dies; 1999's The World Is Not Enough; and 2002's Die Another Day. He is the fifth actor to hold down the franchise after Sean Connery, one shot George Lazenby, Roger Moore and Timothy Dalton. But before advocates for the middle-aged file a brief on behalf of the fiftysomething Brosnan, it should be noted that the Sunday Mail's story cites mixed motivations for producers' reputed desire for a casting change. On one hand, the tab reports, producers want somebody with fewer wrinkles; on the other hand, it says, producers want somebody with fewer zeroes in his contract. "Apparently, [brosnan] was demanding a Tom Cruise-level pay check," a source is quoted as telling the paper. (In the unnamed source's humble opinion, by the way, Brosnan isn't "quite in that league" as the $25 million-earning Cruise.) There was no official word on Brosnan's status Tuesday from Eon Productions, the film company that sends Bond out to save the world every two or three years. (The next film, known right now only as Bond 21, is on the calendar for a 2005 release.) MGM, which distributes the 007 films, declined comment. Reports of Brosnan's Bond demise, meanwhile, are about as old as the franchise itself. In 2001, producers were so flooded with rumors that they'd jettisoned Brosnan, they issued a formal denial. True to their word, Brosnan was back in action that year for production on Die Another Day. Then as now, Hugh Jackman was rumored to be in line for a Bond tux fitting. (E! Online's Ted Casablanca reported in March that the Australian-born X-Man was out of line, and no longer on producers' wish list.) Others whose names--and appropriately accented voices--have been linked to Bond include: Ewan McGregor, Jude Law, Heath Ledger and Orlando Bloom. The only sure thing in the Bond universe right now? Things are shaken--and stirred.

Damnit this sucks but, you know it was going to happen. I rather have another X-Men movie then another Superman.

Did Rikishi really think he was that good of a singer on the last WWE CD? First Chyna and now Rikishi are wanting to become singers. What the hell is up with that?

Did anybody else notice that Wonder Woman gave Mongul a German Suplex of all things? And then Mongul no sold it and got right back up.

McMahon/Costas Interview Named One Of The Worst Ever SI blasts infamous interview.... SportsIllustrated.com has named the March 2001 Bob Costas/Vince McMahon interview from HBO's On The Record show as the 10th worst interview in radio/TV history. The interview was highlighted by the fact that the interview turned into an on-air verbal fight, with McMahon telling Costas to "shut up" among other things. The main focus of the interview was the XFL which shut down a year later. News On Futures Of Orton, Triple H, & Edge ...and how they all have to do with each other.... Most believe that WWE is planning to put the World Title on Randy Orton at Summerslam and then turn him face, leading to a break from Evolution. WWE already seems to be planning for a Orton vs. Triple H World Title match at WrestleMania next year, but word is that the plan is to have Triple H be the face in that match. WWE is considering involving Edge into Orton's face turn, making it a double turn with Edge going heel. WWE is considering having Edge feud with Chris Benoit following Summerslam. Interestingly enough, a few rumors are going around that WWE may put Edge in Evolution now that Orton will likely be removed from the group.

http://www.cnn.com/2004/ALLPOLITICS/08/05/...n.ap/index.html McCain condemns anti-Kerry ad Calls on White House to follow suit Thursday, August 5, 2004 Posted: 1:35 PM EDT (1735 GMT) WASHINGTON (AP) -- Republican Sen. John McCain, a former prisoner of war in Vietnam, called an ad criticizing John Kerry's military service "dishonest and dishonorable" and urged the White House on Thursday to condemn it as well. "It was the same kind of deal that was pulled on me," McCain said in an interview with The Associated Press, referring to his bitter Republican primary fight with President Bush. The 60-second ad features Vietnam veterans who accuse the Democratic presidential nominee of lying about his decorated Vietnam War record and betraying his fellow veterans by later opposing the conflict. "When the chips were down, you could not count on John Kerry," one of the veterans, Larry Thurlow, says in the ad. Thurlow didn't serve on Kerry's swiftboat, but says he witnessed the events that led to Kerry winning a Bronze Star and the last of his three Purple Hearts. Kerry's crewmates support the candidate and call him a hero. The ad, scheduled to air in a few markets in Ohio, West Virginia and Wisconsin, was produced by Stevens, Reed, Curcio and Potham, the same team that produced McCain's ads in 2000. "I wish they hadn't done it," McCain said of his former advisers. "I don't know if they knew all the facts." Asked if the White House knew about the ad or helped find financing for it, McCain said, "I hope not, but I don't know. But I think the Bush campaign should specifically condemn the ad." (Special Report: America Votes 2004) Later, McCain said the Bush campaign has denied any involvement and added, "I can't believe the president would pull such a cheap stunt." The White House and Bush-Cheney campaign did not address McCain's call that they repudiate the spot, though a Bush spokesman said the campaign does not question Kerry's highly decorated war service. McCain is co-chair of Bush's campaign in Arizona. 'Old wounds' In 2000, Bush's supporters sponsored a rumor campaign against McCain in the South Carolina primary, helping Bush win the primary and the nomination. McCain's supporters have never forgiven the Bush team. McCain said that's all in the past to him, but he's speaking out against the anti-Kerry ad because "it reopens all the old wounds of the Vietnam War, which I spent the last 35 years trying to heal." "I deplore this kind of politics," McCain said. "I think the ad is dishonest and dishonorable. As it is, none of these individuals served on the boat (Kerry) commanded. Many of his crew have testified to his courage under fire. I think John Kerry served honorably in Vietnam. I think George Bush served honorably in the Texas Air National Guard during the Vietnam War." McCain himself spent more than five years in a Vietnam prisoner of war camp. A bona fide war hero, McCain, like Kerry, used his war record as the foundation of his presidential campaign. The Kerry campaign has denounced the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth, saying none of the men in the ad served on the boat that Kerry commanded. Three veterans on Kerry's boat that day -- Jim Rassmann, who says Kerry saved his life, Gene Thorson and Del Sandusky, the driver on Kerry's boat, said the group was lying on all fronts. They say Kerry was injured, and Rassmann called the group's account "pure fabrication." The leader of the group, retired Adm. Roy Hoffmann, said none of the 13 veterans in the commercial served on Kerry's boat but rather were in other swiftboats within 50 yards of Kerry's. The group claims that there was no gunfire on the day Kerry pulled Rassmann from a muddy river in the Mekong Delta and that Kerry's arm was not wounded, as he has claimed. "What we have is a fabrication that led to Kerry getting his Bronze Star and his last Purple Heart," said Thurlow, who said he commanded a swiftboat near Kerry's.

http://www.cnn.com/2004/LAW/08/02/jail.pre...y.ap/index.html Grandparents sue over jailhouse baby Mom won't be released until 2012 Monday, August 2, 2004 Posted: 6:09 PM EDT (2209 GMT) KNOXVILLE, Georgia (AP) -- The grandparents of a child conceived while her parents were both in the Crawford County Jail want the county to help them support the baby. LaTonya Finney and boyfriend, Adrian Howard, were jailed in 2002 to await trial on robbery charges. While they remained behind bars, Finney became pregnant. They say they had been granted a conjugal visit, but the sheriff says the county has never allowed such contact. Finney's parents, Ronnie and Patricia Finney, are asking the county to help pay for raising their granddaughter, Adrianna. Because their daughter was impregnated while in jail, they argue, Crawford County Sheriff Kerry Dunaway shares some of the responsibility -- and the cost -- while the tot's parents are both serving prison terms. "I just think it's a very, very bizarre social conscience these people have that their daughter conceives a child and they think the sheriff is responsible," said county attorney David Mincey Jr. The sheriff said he wasn't even aware of Finney's pregnancy until Howard filed suit demanding to be released from prison to care for Adrianna. That case is still pending. The couple said Dunaway granted them a 45-minute conjugal visit in exchange for information, but the sheriff said Howard picked locks to gain access to the women's section of the jail. Howard said there was no way he could have gotten through locked cell doors. "The sheriff let me through the door himself," he told the Macon Telegraph. "It was his decision ... now he wants to change his story about what really happened." The elder Finneys say they have an income of only $1,741 in disability and welfare checks each month to raise their two other children and a niece, but are determined to continue raising Adrianna until her mother is released from state prison in 2012. "I wanted that baby to grow up with some family members ... to know that she was loved," said Ronnie Finney.

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/5578574/ Over half of Olympic tickets still unsold Organizers appeal to Greek pride to sell remaining 2 million-plus ATHENS, Greece - The line snaked in front of the marble stadium, moving at a painstakingly slow pace. One woman stood with her dog. Others waited for hours, fanning themselves in the blazing midday sun. This snapshot of people lining up to buy tickets for the Athens Games was encouraging to Olympic organizers. But such scenes have been all too rare until recently. Though ticket sales have picked up in the last week, less than half of the 5.3 million tickets for the Athens Games have been sold. Now, a week before the opening ceremony, officials are appealing to Greek pride as they try to sell the rest. One ad running on local TV shows a Greek guy sitting at home on the couch. An overseas relative calls and leaves a message saying he guesses the guy must be at the Olympics. Feeling guilty, the Greek guy is next shown sitting in the stands at an Olympic venue. “Until now Greeks have shown that they are enthusiastic about the return of the Olympic Games in Greece,” said Seraphim Kotrotsos, an Athens 2004 spokesman. “We are sure that in the days left until the Olympic Games every day they will buy more and more tickets.” Organizers have so far sold about 2.3 million tickets. A one-day Athens record of 53,997 tickets were purchased this Thursday, as compared to an average of just 4,000 per day in June and July. “We never promised 100 percent capacity at the stadiums. In no Olympics organization has there ever been 100 percent,” Kotrotsos said. “We had said we hoped for 60 percent.” More than 80 percent of the 7.6 million tickets were sold at the 2000 Sydney Games. At the marble Panathinaiko stadium — host of the 1896 Olympics and site of the marathon finish this time — people standing in line Thursday said sluggish sales were due to a combination of events leading up to the games — including fears of terrorism, Olympic construction delays and the Greek habit of doing things at the last minute. “It’s the international scene, the whole hysteria has made the games less attractive (and) the construction being completed at the last minute,” said Alexandros Chloros, a management consultant. “The whole Greek mentality, we’re waiting until the last minute.” Others waiting in line angrily denied weak ticket sales were due to construction delays that plagued preparations ever since the games were awarded to Athens in 1997, and defended Greek interest in the upcoming Olympics. “We have a very good percentage of participation for a small country,” said Stratos Stamatis, an engineer. “I think participation is very high. Everyone is talking about them, at work, on TV.” Most of the tickets still unsold are cheaper ones with prices ranging from $12 to $18 for preliminary rounds of competitions, organizers said. Tour operators said Greece also failed to get a rush of Olympic-related tourism, for the same reasons that have hurt ticket sales. Tourism accounts for about 18 percent of Greece’s gross domestic product, but some parts of the country have experienced a 10 percent to 15 percent drop in bookings this season. “Generally, it looks like this year we will have less people,” said George Drakopoulos, head of the Association of Greek Tourist Enterprises. There was “a doubt about whether everything would be ready on time and if the games would be successful,” said Aliki Hamosfakidou, who works for Athens-based tour operator Dolphin Travel. Many tour operators also feel the Olympics were not publicized enough and that all of Greece was insufficiently promoted. “I think in the end we’re going to have a good turnout. They are not going to be sold out,” said Chloros, the management consultant who was buying his tickets at the marble stadium. “There is a lot of talk about Greek pride.”

They want to try and get Brooke Hogan's spotlight? So does that mean they want to date Aaron Carter to?

Hell I hope to see footage of all the drugs Vince and everyone was talking to have booked Mabel in the main events with Nash.

Well he sure as hell can't play a football player. Not with those knees of his.

I like to see it just because of the time period it took place in. The mid 90s when HBK and friends were all over the booking.

I think they should have tried to write this into the Angle/Eddie feud. Eddie is so mad that he is about to snap at any time because the title meant that much to him. So his best friend Malenko does everything to try and clam Eddie do from doing something and going over the edge so to speak. Like at one point Eddie snaps and is beating Angle to death, all bloodly and Malenko has to come out and pulls him off and Eddie then goes off on Malenko.

http://www.cnn.com/2004/HEALTH/diet.fitnes...m.ap/index.html Fat activists protest diet industry Monday, August 2, 2004 Posted: 10:42 PM EDT (0242 GMT) NEW YORK (AP) -- Unashamed of their size, fed up with fat jokes, and angry at the national obsession with dieting, overweight activists are mounting a feisty protest movement against what it calls the medical establishment's campaign against obesity. "We're living in the middle of a witch hunt and fat people are the witches," said Marilyn Wann of San Francisco, a militant member of the National Association to Advance Fat Acceptance. "It's gotten markedly worse in the last few years because of the propaganda that fatness, a natural human characteristic, is somehow a form of disease." The association, known as NAAFA, holds its annual convention starting Wednesday in Newark, New Jersey, bringing together activists for social events and workshops on self-acceptance, political advocacy and the "fat liberation" movement. "I hope we can be a viable force of sanity in the midst of hysteria," said NAAFA spokeswoman Mary Ray Worley of Madison, Wisconsin. "I've found allies in all kinds of unexpected places, but overall there's a lot of animosity. Some people act like obesity is the next worst thing after terrorism." The convention comes as the movement is scrambling to counter federal government pronouncements that obesity is a "critical public health problem" costing more than $100 billion and 300,000 lives per year. Jeannie Moloo, an American Dietetic Association spokeswoman who counsels overweight clients at her nutrition practice in Sacramento, California, empathizes with the activists' fight against bias, but says they should be wary of oversimplifying obesity-related health issues. "Some people can be overweight all their lives and not end up with diabetes or heart disease or hypertension," Moloo said. "But the majority are probably going to develop one of these life-altering conditions." Fat-acceptance groups were dismayed when federal officials announced last month that Medicare was discarding its declaration that obesity isn't a disease. The policy change will likely prompt overweight Americans covered by Medicare to file medical claims for treatments such as stomach surgery and diet programs. "Obesity is not a disease," insisted Allen Steadham, director of the Austin, Texas-based International Size Acceptance Association. "All this does is open the door for the diet and bariatric surgery industries to make a potentially tremendous profit." Most fat-acceptance activists endorse the concept of eating healthy food and exercising regularly, but they oppose any fixation on losing weight and contend that more than 95 percent of diets fail. They also decry the rapid growth of stomach-shrinking surgery; the number of such procedures has quadrupled to 100,000 annually since 1998. Wann depicts bariatric surgery as "stomach amputation" that imposes anorexia on patients and exposes them to long-term risks. Kelly Bliss, a self-described "full-figured fitness instructor" from Lansdowne, Pennsylvania, predicts that future generations will disapprovingly look back on stomach surgery as "comparable to lobotomies." Bliss, who coaches clients by phone and in fitness classes, subscribes to a philosophy called "health at every size" -- preaching that health, fitness and self-esteem can be achieved independent of weight. "There's a war on obese people, and I'm treating the casualties - people whose hearts are being ripped out," Bliss said. NAAFA and others have tried to combat what they see as rampant discrimination against fat people, but progress has been sporadic. Southwest Airlines, for example, resisted protests targeting its policy of requiring large passengers to purchase a second ticket if they can't fit in a single seat. "People want to fight for their rights, but there's a lot of shame involved," Steadham said. "It takes a whole lot of determination to stick through it to the end." A few cities, including San Francisco, explicitly outlaw weight discrimination. Michigan is the only state to do so, but its Civil Rights Department said only five of 1,696 job discrimination complaints filed in 2003 involved weight. Walter Lindstrom, a San Diego attorney specializing in weight-discrimination cases, said overweight plaintiffs usually must prove that acts of bias against them are covered by federal laws prohibiting discrimination against disabled people. "These cases are more difficult from a proof standpoint, and also because you're dealing with a very unpopular class of clients," Lindstrom said. "Juries are generally disgusted with your average size-related plaintiff. You have to get past that, and have them see the plaintiff as someone with a true medical problem." Many fat-acceptance activists were heartened by this year's publication of "The Obesity Myth" by University of Colorado law professor Paul Campos, who contends that diet promoters, drug companies and weight-loss surgeons have whipped up an irrational panic over weight. Campos shares many of the activists' views but says their effectiveness has been limited. "The movement has found itself marginalized by drawing its membership and leadership from the far extreme of obesity," he said. "It will be more successful if it can attract the two-thirds of Americans who are being told by the government that they weigh too much -- the I-want-to-lose-20-pounds crowd who are starting to feel a certain amount of resentment from the constant haranguing they're getting."

http://www.cnn.com/2004/WORLD/europe/08/01...n.ap/index.html Vatican warns of sexual blurring Sunday, August 1, 2004 Posted: 6:54 AM EDT (1054 GMT) VATICAN CITY (AP) -- The Vatican has denounced feminism, saying it was trying to blur differences between men and women and threatening the institution of the family based on a mother and a father. The drive for equality, the Vatican said, makes "homosexuality and heterosexuality virtually equivalent, in a new model of polymorphous sexuality." The concerns, raised in a 37-page document written by one of Pope John Paul II's closest aides and released Saturday, broke no new ground, maintaining the church's ban on women priests, for example. But some observers said they feared how the document might be used. Paul Lakeland, an expert on the Catholic Church, who is a professor at Fairfield University in Connecticut, expressed concern that some language in the document could be used by church conservatives to condemn any form of advocacy for women. "The irony is that this document is, in some respect, a feminist document," said Lakeland, pointing to references to fair treatment of women who work. The pamphlet by Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger, the Vatican's orthodoxy watchdog, was published during a Vatican campaign to protect what it terms the Christian family. Earlier salvos have blasted same-sex marriage, appealing to politicians, regardless of their religion, to prevent them from winning legal recognition. Addressed to bishops worldwide, the document contended that new recent approaches to women's issues are marked by a tendency "to emphasize strongly conditions of subordination in order to give rise to antagonism: women, in order to be themselves, must make themselves the adversaries of men." Such an attitude, the document said, "has its most immediate and lethal effects in the structure of the family." The document also said that, in feminism, "in order to avoid the dominance of one sex or the other, their differences tend to be denied. ... The obscuring of the difference or duality of the sexes has enormous consequences." These consequences, it said, included calling "into question the family, in its natural two-parent structure of mother and father," giving homosexual and heterosexual couples an equivalent status. The document also took issue with a "certain type of feminist rhetoric" that makes "demands 'for ourselves.'" Throughout his 25 years as pope, John Paul has repeatedly expressed his admiration for women and their talents, and the document reflected that. It said women should not be stigmatized or penalized financially for wanting to be homemakers. It also said women "should be present in the world of work and ... have access to positions of responsibility which allow them to inspire the politics of nations and to promote innovative solutions to economic and social problems." Those who choose to work should be granted an appropriate work schedule and "not have to choose between relinquishing their family life or enduring continual stress," the message to bishops said. The Rev. Thomas Reese, a commentator on the Catholic church, in an e-mailed statement noted that "although most American feminists would express their theology differently from the Vatican, on the practical level, they are on the same page (in terms of equality in education, politics, the workplace) except on abortion and women priests." Catholic teaching forbids abortion. "While most people in the U.S. think in psychological and sociological terms, the Vatican thinks and talks in philosophical and theological terms which most Americans find difficult to understand," said Reese, who is editor of America, a Jesuit magazine. The document also expressed the Vatican's concern that the blurring of differences between sexes could pose a challenge to church teaching, including the belief, in a reference to Christ, that "the Son of God assumed human nature in its male form." "From the first moment of their creation, man and woman are different, and will remain so for eternity," the document said. Many Italian politicians pay close attention to the pronouncements of the Catholic Church, with its headquarters a few minutes away from the Italian parliament. "This document is welcome," said Riccardo Pedrizzi, who deals with family policy in the National Alliance, a right-wing party in Premier Silvio Berlusconi's conservative coalition. "Economic and legal measures that allow women to freely choose if she wants to go to work outside the home or if she wants to carry out her top-level job inside the family are essential," Pedrizzi was quoted as saying by the Italian news agency ANSA.
