Evan Longoria baseball catch new chivalry commercial for Gillette or viral video magic moment?

[May 17]

One of the Most Shared and top Trending videos on Youtube May 16th was a video clip of Tampa Bay Ray baseball player Evan Longoria playing hero as a celebrity athlete playing the field. In a surely scripted move, Evan Longoria (not to be confused with Desperate Housewives star Eva Longoria, ex-wife of NBA star Tony Parker — there is no relation) appears to save an on-field female sports reporter from certain injury by catching a line drive with his bare hands just above her threatened head. The now viral video started drawing an online audience late last week, but really took off like wildfire over the weekend when YouTube reports it drew over half a million views. But what was the origin of the video? Could it be a brand promotion stunt where a big name corporation funded to film it and then distributed the footage to make their celebrity athlete look like a real life super hero? YouTube analysts believe so.

Jean Claude Van Damme sued by Total Flex gym makers, why?

[May 17]

According to a lawsuit filed in Los Angeles, California, action movie hero Jean Claude Van Damme is rumored to have agreed to give his celebrity endorsement for a health and fitness product called the Total Flex gym. The contract seems to have been formalized back in February in Brussels… but according to the rumor mills, when the martial arts expert actor known for being all buzz and stud-muffin-ish thanks to his daily fitness routines showed up to the television set to film an infomercial, he had absolutely no idea how to use the workout equipment. From there, his day got weird. TMZ claims, “The infomercial producers claim Van Damme grew frustrated with his inability to operate the machine … even though JCVD’s wife figured it out right away.” So the tough guy fitness guru had to have a girl teach him how to work out on home gym equipment? Yep — and as that sort for rumor (if true) could easily predict, the machismo side of him did not role with that punch to spin a new angle in the infomercial. He simply pitched some sort of private hissy fit like a stereotypical hot male athlete celebrity superstar and revoked his agreement to publicly support the product he had been paid to tout.

Hines Ward earns double perfect 10 scored with injured partner Kym Johnson?

[May 16]

Bo Derek perfect 10 he is not, but when it comes to sexy moves on the dance floor Hines Ward is givin’ it all the perfect 10 hip action he’s got. Hines and Kym were excited to get to the semi-finals, but their vigorous pace led to a serious injury in dance practice. Do or die from here on out was his motto until he nearly killed her. Coming out to dance the Argentine Tango, the crowd was on pins and needles. Could Kym Johnson still dance? More importantly could Hines Ward psychologically recover from falling on his dance partner and nearly breaking her neck on Friday the 13th of May in a freak accident?

Host Tom Bergeron was elated to see her on the dance floor and said, “That was a long way from Friday, my friends…”

Len loved it — so did everyone else. He called Kym a floosey and said the dance looked like something from the Karma Sutra.

Bruno loves the dominance theme than emerged in the dance. He said it was like group sex.

Carrie Ann was in tears — so worried about Kym Johnson. He was so pleased with his performance that she brought Hines to tears.

The score? A perfect 10 for the pair.

Amazing star celebs, for sure.

Will their Argentine Tango score be enough to get them from the semi-finals to the finals as crowd favorites?

We certainly hop so, as the NFL football player deserves to score a touchdown and maybe even beat Disney Princess Chelsea Kane to take the Mirror Ball Trophy home.

That’s why his SECOND perfect 30 score was such good news, as it nearly guaranteed him a place in the finals.

Carlos Santana immigration law rant at ballgame hits home run?

[May 16]

Going green as a Hollywood celebrity involved being more than eco friendly. It also includes a component of humanitarianism. Musician Carlos Santana showed he has good will game when he hit a home run with statements he made at a baseball game. In front of a crowd while winning an award, he voiced a very candid and spot on opinion about immigration law, knocking his point out of the park by making a great call. As a well-known and beloved Latin American performer, Carlos Santana was given the Beacon of Change award before the Atlanta Braves’ fifth annual Civil Rights Game on Sunday May 15. While the team focused on their game against the Philadelphia Phillies, Santana used the public speaking opportunity during his award acceptance speech to criticize both residents and politicians of Arizona and Georgia for their new immigration laws. Saying he represented illegal immigrants and was speaking out on behalf of them as well as legal immigrants like himself, the Grammy award-winning artist told the crowd at Turner field, “The people of Arizona, and the people of Atlanta, Georgia, you should be ashamed of yourselves.”

DWTS 2011: Hines Ward partner Kym Johnson seriously hurt in dance fall?

Dancing With The Stars 2011!

Hines Ward partner Kym Johnson seriously hurt in dance fall?

[May 16]

TMZ was one of the first websites to report Kym Johnson — the dance pro the producers of DWTS 2011 paired up with Pittsburgh Steelers football player Hines Ward. According to the site, Kym Johnson, “took a nasty spill while rehearsing with the NFLer for an upcoming show.” The star celebs still had practice scheduled the following day(s), and Kym and Hines both showed up on schedule Sunday May 16th. The only problem? Kym Johnson was wearing a huge neck brace! According to her rep (who spoke to TMZ anticipating the rumor mills picking up the story of the dancing accident and subsequent hospitalization of the dance pro), Johnson was taken to a nearby Los Angeles area hospital for treatment “for precautionary measures to assure she is OK.” But what will an injury at this stage fo the game do to the celebrity couple as far as performance ability? Many celebrity gossip sites and comment rumor mills are saying that Hines and Kym might just be out of the game.

The reason why Kym Johnson having a new injury is a game changer is not because she might not be able to dance or teach or do choreography full bore. It is because of the psychological effects on Hines Ward.
