TURNS out ROD STEWART is even more of a lord than I thought he was.
He may be 64, but the Scottish singer's prowess on the football pitch shows no sign of waning.
In fact, FALL OUT BOY star PETE WENTZ says he's so good that some celebrities, including himself, have refused to play with him.
He says: "Rod holds these celebrity football games in LA.
"I did get an invite once but I had to turn down one once as I had a bad ankle.
"I was actually a bit scared too."

Britney Spears is breaking her silence on the lip-synching debate that has surrounding her first Australian tour.
"I hear there is a lot of controversy in the media about my show," Spears said Tuesday in a statement. "Some reporters have said they love it and some don't. I came to Australia for my fans!"
Spears has been under fire ever since she arrived in Australia last week. The Fair Trade Minister for the state of New South Wales kicked off the controversy by saying Australians would not tolerate a "Mickey Mouse" performance by the former Disney star.
The local media then reported that fans walked out of the singer's first Australian performance last Friday after just a few songs, describing her concert as "boring" and "stiff."
While Spears' camp has defended the outcry by saying it's common knowledge that the pop star lip syncs in concert, the Musicians Union of Australia believes more should be done to let Australian concert-goers know exactly what they're paying for.
"It's not right that people are going to the concert when they are being misled," Terry Noone, the union's federal secretary, told ABC News Online. "That's the issue. It's not about music, it's about false advertising."
"It all comes back to truth and accuracy," added Noone. "There should be a message saying if things are going to be lip-synced or mimed so that people know what they're buying."
Spears is due to play the first of three sold-out shows in Melbourne on Wednesday night before continuing the rest of her Australian run.

Lionsgate has officially released the first teaser trailer for Matthew Vaughn’s big screen adaptation of Mark Millar’s comic book Kick-Ass. For those of you who haven’t been following this project, the film was produced independently and the first footage won over the thousands of people packed into Hall H at Comic-Con. The story is essentially about an average teenager named Dave Lizewski (Aaron Johnson), a comic-book fanboy who decides to take his obsession as inspiration to become a real-life superhero.
As any good superhero would, he chooses a new name — Kick-Ass — assembles a suit and mask to wear, and gets to work fighting crime. There’s only one problem standing in his way: Kick-Ass has absolutely no superpowers. His life is forever changed as he inspires a subculture of copy cats, is hunted by assorted violent and unpleasant characters, and meets up with a pair of crazed vigilantes, including an 11-year-old sword-wielding dynamo, Hit Girl (Chloë Moretz) and her father, Big Daddy (Nicolas Cage).

It looks like Olympia Snowe could have a pretty hard time getting nominated for another term in the Senate as a Republican.
There are now more folks in her party who disapprove than approve of Snowe's job performance. 46% of GOP voters think she's doing a bad job to 40% who give her good marks.
Snowe is still pretty popular with the liberal/moderate wing of her party, earning a 64% approval rating from them. But even in Maine 68% of Republicans are conservatives and they give her just a 29% approval rating with a 56% majority disapproving of her.
Asked how they would vote in a primary contest between Snowe and a more conservative challenger, just 31% of likely Republican voters say they would pick Snowe while 59% say they would go for the conservative alternative.
Obviously 2012 is a long ways away. Snowe could get herself back into the good graces of the Republican electorate, or a conservative challenge could fail to materialize. But given the recent successes of the Club for Growth, at least within the sphere of GOP voters, Snowe seems a pretty likely target.
Snowe's overall popularity is still decent, with 51% of voters approving of her to 36% disapproving. That owes to a 60% approval rating with Democrats and a 51% mark with independents. Even her pretty good marks with Democrats speak to the perils of moderation though- she's down from a 70% approval rating with them three weeks ago. It may be that while her actions on health care have proven to be too much for Republicans, they're not enough for some segment of the Democratic electorate.
Ultimately Snowe's future political survival may have to come as an independent- winning either party's primary could be a challenge. And the good news for her is that Maine has been unusually hospitable toward independent candidates, so it's not beyond the realm of possibility.
Primarying (is that a word?) Snowe has to be cutting off the GOP's nose to spite its face. I wonder if this will affect her health care vote . . .

PROVIDENCE, R.I.—Gov. Don Carcieri vetoed legislation Tuesday that would give same-sex couples in Rhode Island the same right to plan the funerals of their late partners as married couples.
The socially conservative Republican said the proposed protection represents a "disturbing trend" of the incremental erosion of heterosexual marriage. Rhode Island does not recognize same-sex marriage.
"If the General Assembly believes it would like to address the issue of domestic partnership, it should place the issue on the ballot and let the people of Rhode Island decide," Carcieri said in a letter to lawmakers.
Democrats hold a veto-proof majority in the Legislature and frequently override Carcieri's objections.
Sen. Rhoda Perry and Rep. David Segal, the bill sponsors, said they would seek to override the veto. They proposed the legislation after one of their constituents was unable to retrieve the body of his late partner from the state medical examiner for weeks because they weren't married or next-of-kin.
Gay rights supporters were indignant at the veto.
"It is absolutely unconscionable that Gov. Carcieri would step in the middle of people being able to take care of their loved ones at such a sorrowful time," said Kathy Kushnir, executive director of Marriage Equality Rhode Island, which advocates for gay marriage. "Why would he make it more difficult? I just don't get it."
The proposed funeral planning rights would apply to same-sex couples who have had a relationship for at least one year and pass other tests, such as owning property together. Carcieri said some of the guidelines were vague.

TAMPA - A U.S. Marine reservist attacked a visiting Greek Orthodox priest he believed to be a terrorist, Tampa police say.
When the priest tried seeking directions from Jasen D. Bruce, 28, of Tampa, on Monday, Bruce struck the priest with a tire iron and chased him.
Police say he attacked the Rev. Alexios Marakis, 29, of Crete, Greece, who was visiting St. Nicholas Greek Orthodox Cathedral in Tarpon Springs and wound up lost in Tampa.
Marakis had performed a blessing of another retired Greek priest in the West Shore area and then accidentally exited Interstate 275 north into downtown Tampa. He followed cars into the Seaport Channelside Apartments on Twiggs Street and got out to ask Bruce for help.
...
"During the chase, the suspect called 911 and claimed an Arabic male attempted to rob him and he was going to take him into custody," a Tampa Police Department news release states. "When officers arrived, the suspect claimed the man was a terrorist."
Marakis, who speaks limited English, was treated at Tampa General Hospital and released.
Marakis declined to comment today, saying he did not speak much English. The Rev. Michael Eaccarino of St. Nicholas Greek Orthodox Cathedral said Marakis is doing well.
Police came to Bruce's home for a follow-up interview. Bruce's lawyer was there, and Bruce wasn't helpful, police say.
...
Officers say they are trying to determine if the attack meets the standard for a hate crime.(source)

One project that's been on our radar for a long while now is the Eli Roth produced possession film Cotton. Now that the first few images of the film have oozed out of AFM, we're even more stoked!
Synopsis
Disillusioned by years of defrauding poor believers of their hard-earned cash, evangelical preacher Cotton Marcus decides to put the record straight by producing a spectacular documentary.
A letter from Louis, a poor farmer begging Cotton's help in driving the devil off his land, gives Cotton the perfect opportunity to expose the phoniness of his ministry. But then he meets Louis' disturbed young daughter, Nell ...
Check out the photos below, one of which is completely cringe worthy! Look for more on Cotton directed by Daniel Stamm very soon!

Plus did The CW pull out of some of the threesome due to all the controversy over it?! Maybe they were afraid of the consequences the FCC and whatnot would bring to them over it? I know that they are showing more saucy scenes next week throughout a various amount of flashbacks but I discovered something interesting!! Check out what I discovered behind the cut!!

Jeff Zucker to take charge of the NBC/GE/Universal/Comcast clusterfuck
NEW YORK -- Comcast and GE have agreed to make NBC Universal CEO Jeff Zucker the head of their proposed joint venture, but the structure of a new board is still being negotiated, sources familiar with the matter said.
The two sides have been in talks to reach a deal that would give Comcast a 51% stake in the NBC Universal venture, which would also house the cable networks now belonging to Comcast. They recently agreed to value NBC Universal at about $30 billion, sources previously told Reuters.
Under the terms being discussed, Zucker will lead the new entity, with no clauses for him to leave after a specific period, the sources said Tuesday. They spoke on condition of anonymity because the details have not been made public.
As part of the proposal, NBC Universal would become a joint venture, 51% owned by Comcast and 49% by GE. Comcast would contribute around $4 billion to $6 billion in cash, as well as its collection of cable networks to pay for its stake.

At this point I'm starting to wonder if NBC even wants to succeed anymore...
The off-screen romance rumors of Cory Monteith and Lea Michele has escalated this week to a full frenzy. The adorably cozy twosome continue to fuel that fire as they dodge dating rumors instead of denying them. There have been rumored sightings of them together all over town and just last month the paps caught them leaving a Broadway show together. Costar Mark Salling, in the new issue of OK! Magazine, jokingly credits the pair's great chemistry to "hormones." FOX's comedy-musical series "Glee" witnesses Cory Monteith portraying the character of Finn Hudson, a popular high school quarterback with movie star looks and a Motown voice who must protect his cool reputation with his holier-than-thou girlfriend. Lea, meanwhile, stars as Rachel Berry, a perfectionist firecracker who is convinced show choir is her ticket to stardom.
Blah blah blah, most important:
New interview with Cory, Jenna, and Mark from Glee
Highlights:
- Cory dodges rumors of him dating Lea Michelle so poorly, basically confirms to the world they are fucking
- Jenna's reaction the the Cory/Lea question confirming that they are fucking
- Mark's existence confirming that he is a sexy bitch
- Watch it for yourself goddamn
Got to admit, this pic is cute
I really want to see the wank that can arise from this.
