| Lookin at Lucky Draws the Rail Posted: 28 Apr 2010 01:46 PM PDT Lookin at Lucky, the favorite for Saturday’s Kentucky Derby at 3-1, drew the rail in the post draw Wednesday. The No. 1 post spot is generally considered a disadvantage unless the horse has all-out speed because horses charging into the first turn tend to jam the inside.  Image: Zuma Press Sidney’s Candy (5-1) didn’t fare much better, drawing the No. 20 outside post. Only twelve horses have won the Kentucky Derby from the No. 1 post – the last one was Ferdinand in 1986. Only two winners have come from No. 20 spot – Big Brown doing so two years ago. Here is the Derby field in post-position order with odds: Lookin At Lucky, 3-1
Ice Box, 10-1
Noble’s Promise, 12-1
Super Saver, 15-1
Line of David, 30-1
Stately Victor, 30-1
American Lion, 30-1
Dean’s Kitten, 50-1
Make Music for Me, 50-1
Paddy O’Prado, 20-1
Devil May Care, 10-1
Conveyance, 12-1
Jackson Bend, 15-1
Mission Impazible, 20-1
Discreetly Mine, 30-1

| Helena Mattsson Nipple Slip Posted: 28 Apr 2010 01:22 PM PDT At the Iron Man 2 world premiere, Helena Mattsson posed for photographers on the red carpet wearing a blue dress that didn’t quite provide enough coverage. She had a tiny nipple slip that didn’t go unnoticed. 
As you can see in other photos from the event, her dress was a wardrobe malfunction waiting to happen. 
The next night, the gorgeous blonde attended the launch party for Eva Longoria Parker’s new fragrance – EVA. Mattsson looked stunning, as always, and this time her dress was intact.  Mattsson is a Swedish actress who has appeared in a number of American films and TV shows. In 2007, she starred in Species: The Awakening. She also appeared in You and I and Surrogates in 2009. She plays Rebecca in Iron Man 2 and Irina on Desperate Housewives.

| Mavericks Dominate Spurs to Force Game 6 Posted: 28 Apr 2010 01:04 PM PDT The San Antonio Spurs headed into Game 5 with a 3-1 advantage over the Dallas Mavericks. But when all was said and done on Tuesday night, the Mavs came away with a dominating 103-81 victory and perhaps shifted the momentum in the series.  Image: Zuma Press Caron Butler led the way for Dallas with 35 points and 11 rebounds as the team relentlessly attacked the rim in the rout. Butler became the first Mav since Dirk Nowitzki to score 30 in a playoff game since 2006. The Mavericks set series highs for points in the paint (42), fastbreak points (23), second-chance points (19) and points off turnovers (24) as they dominated the Spurs in almost every aspect of the game. Nowitzki finished the game with 15 points and nine boards, while Jason Terry added 12. Brendon Haywood started in place of Erick Dampier and tallied eight points, eight rebounds and four blocks. San Antonio shot just 35.9% for the game and hit only 3-for-16 from 3-point range. Tony Parker led the Spurs with 18 points – 17 in the first half. Spurs coach Gregg Popovich gave up in the third quarter with the Mavericks impressive lead, allowing his starters to rest on the bench for the entire fourth period. Game 6 takes place on Thursday night in San Antonio , where the Spurs hope to close out the series. Post from: EveryJoe Mavericks Dominate Spurs to Force Game 6  |

| Dez Bryant’s Mom Not a Hooker Posted: 27 Apr 2010 08:55 PM PDT Prior to the NFL draft, teams do their homework on each and every player. That said, Miami Dolphins GM Jeff Ireland went a bit too far with a question to wide receiver Dez Bryant. Ireland reportedly asked Dez Bryant if his mother was a prostitute during an interview before the 2010 NFL Draft. Bryant told Ireland then that his mom is indeed not a hooker. After the draft, Bryant continued to deny that his mom is a prostitute. NFL teams were especially interested in Bryant before the draft due to events that have surrounded him. During the 2009 college football season, he was suspended for the year for covering up contact he had with Deion Sanders. Background checks into his past show that he was born to a 15-year-old who has been convicted of selling crack and did jail time. Apparently, the Dallas Cowboys weren’t concerned with any of the skeletons in Dez Bryant’s closet. They traded up to take him in the first round of the draft. Owner and general manager Jerry Jones is already saying that he has big plans for Bryant in 2010. As Bryant’s career unfolds, we’ll see if the concerns about his character going into the draft were warranted.

| Bob Uecker to Undergo Heart Surgery Posted: 27 Apr 2010 08:55 PM PDT Bob Uecker is known for his quick wit and his dedication to baseball. However, the radio announcer for the Milwaukee Brewers is facing a very serious situation: heart surgery. Later this week, Uecker will undergo heart surgery that will replace an aortic valve. Despite the news, Uecker is excited about his future with the Brewers. He’s even planning his return, although he’ll have to miss up to 90 days following his surgery. Once he’s back behind the mic, Uecker says he will start by only doing home games. Eventually, the 75-year-old said he wants to go back to traveling with the team. “I’ve been in baseball 55 years. This is all I know — or want to know, for that matter,” said Uecker at a press conference. Uecker frequently references how he wasn’t much of a player as a professional. After his playing days were over, Uecker became a much bigger star. He authored two books, appeared as a comedian on the Tonight Show, starred in commercials and even acted in the TV sitcom “Mr. Belvedere”.

| New Device Approved for Severe Asthma Posted: 27 Apr 2010 08:36 PM PDT The FDA has approved a new device for adults with severe and persistent asthma. The device is designed for patients with asthma that is not well-controlled by inhalers and long-acting beta agonist medications. The Alair Bronchial Thermoplasty System is the first medical device that uses radiofrequency energy to treat asthma.  FDA.gov The device is composed of a catheter with an electrode tip that delivers a form of electromagnetic energy, called radiofrequency energy, directly to the airways. A controller unit generates and controls the energy. Preliminary clinic trials showed a reduction of severe asthma attacks with use of the Alair system. The FDA is requiring a five-year post-approval study of the device to study its long-term safety and effectiveness. The device manufacturer, Asthmatx, will follow many of the patients who were enrolled in the clinical trial and enroll 300 new patients at several medical centers across the United States.

| Celtics, Cavaliers Advance Posted: 27 Apr 2010 08:19 PM PDT The Boston Celtics defeated the Miami Heat 96-86 on Tuesday to win their first round playoff series 4-1. We may have seen Dwyane Wade play his last game in a Miami uniform, as the Heat star as well as several other Miami players are free agents this summer.  Image: Zuma Press “This will be my last first-round exit for a while, I can tell you that,” Wade told the press. “It’s tough losing in the first round and, as a competitor like I am, I have to hold back my anger. But I look and understand that these moments make you grow. These moments show the person you are.” Ray Allen led the way for the Celtics, scoring 24 points and hitting five of six three-pointers in 40 minutes of playing time. Paul Pierce tallied 21 points, seven rebounds and six assists, while Rajon Rondo had 16 points and 12 assists for Boston. Wade scored 31 for the Heat on 10-for-24 shooting to go along with 10 assists and eight rebounds. The Celtics weren’t the only team to advance on Tuesday night. The Cleveland Cavaliers topped the Chicago Bulls with a 96-94 Game 5 victory. The only bad news for the Cavs is that LeBron James is nursing a sore elbow that caused him to have to shoot a free throw left-handed in the closing seconds of the game. “I never had a problem with my elbow before,” James said. “I can’t figure it out. It bothers me more because I don’t know what it is. But we’ll figure it out.” James finished the game with 19 points, 10 rebounds and nine assists, while Antawn Jamison scored 25 for the Cavs. The Bulls were led by Derrick Rose with 31 points and Luol Deng with 26. The Cavaliers and the Celtics now face off in Round 2 with Game 1 tipping off on Saturday. Post from: EveryJoe Celtics, Cavaliers Advance  |
| Michael Lohan’s Twitter: Lindsay is HIV+ Posted: 27 Apr 2010 08:18 PM PDT If you believe everything you read on Twitter, then Lindsay Lohan is HIV positive and slept with music mogul Tommy Mottola when she was 17, according to her father. He says his Twitter account was hacked, but who can be sure with the ungoing feuding between Lindsay Lohan and her father, Michael. 
Michael says that his account was hacked. Lindsay says don’t believe it. “I never put any of that stuff up there,” Michael Lohan told The NY Post. “I don't know where it came from…'Perez [Hilton] is a very evil guy,” he said. “I wouldn't be surprised if he's impersonating me himself.” “He’s a grown man and has done the exact same things on TV/interviews, [so] why wouldn’t he lie on Twitter, and everywhere else!” Lindsay Tweeted. “He just wants money — and he’s using me, my name, my status, my mother, brothers and sister for the cash to pay for [another] wedding.” If Lindsay is HIV positive, I certainly hope that her dad wouldn’t Tweet about it out of spite.
