WILF Wednesday Week 19

Welcome back everybody to WILF Wednesday! This just makes Hump Day all the more worth it, doesn't it? Well, before I jump into the video, all credit belongs to theassman345xxxo. I don't think anybody knows celebrity asses like this guy does. Keep up the good work. Anyways, this week, I have one hell of a lovely lady for you all. She has been acting since she was a child, and now that she's all grown up, she's been taking many diverse and interesting roles. Take the dominant (and scantly clad in battle) Guinevere in "King Arthur". Or the fugitive-smacking bounty hunter in "Domino". Perhaps she won you over with a thriller like "The Jacket" or a romantic comedy like "Love, Actually". Perhaps you're more of a fan of her critically acclaimed period pieces like "Atonement" or (and I think this is one of the best movies ever) the 2005 version of "Pride & Prejudice", where she was nominated for a Best Actress Oscar. Of course, there's two roles that will forever be associated with this actress. One is that of the tomboyish soccer player with a rebellious streak and dreams of playing in the United States in "Bend It Like Beckham". The other is the free-minded, spunky, bright, ahead-of-the-times governor's daughter turned Pirate Lord of the South China Sea in the megablockbuster "Pirates of the Caribbean" franchise. Of course, her acting chops aren't the only thing that's worth noting of her. Her body is so tight, you could crack a walnut on her abs and she wouldn't feel a thing. And that ass. I hate to see her go, but I love to watch her leave, at which point I'd folllow her. She's hot. She's diverse. She's phenominal. She's British. She's Keira Knightley.

WILF Wednesday Week 18

Hi everybody! *listens to responses of "Hi, Dr. Nick!"* Welcome back to the one, the only, the undisputed weekly king of hot babe video weekly blog updates. Yep, it's WILF Wednesday once again. A few things I wanna say before we get started. First off, this video is not pornographic, but as a legality, viewer discretion is advised. Secondly, all credit for the making of this video must go to theassman345xxxo, as well as all blame for not putting music in this video (we still love you, assman). Anyways, who would have thought that back in the day, this young lady would become such a hottie? I didn't when she was Dot in "A Bug's Life" nor when she was Sheryl Yoast in "Remember the Titans". And I gotta say she really built up a good TV reputation. She had already been a mainstay on "One Life to Live" and "Guiding Light" and did guest spots on "Ally McBeal", "Malcolm in the Middle", and "Law & Order: Special Victims Unit". Plus, she voiced Kairi in "Kingdom Hearts" on PS2. As far as movies, it started out with basic stuff. The DCOM "Tiger Cruise", the indie film "Shanghai Kiss", and the drama "Fireflies in the Garden" are all on her resume. Also there is one of the best-selling straight-to-VHS/DVD movies ever, "Bring It On: All or Nothing", where she plays a fish-out-of-water cheerleader. Of course, while she CAN play something other than cheerleaders, it's the cheerleader role that once again made her stock soar. On "Heroes", she plays Claire Bennett, a high school cheerleader with regenerative powers. The instant popularity of the show, as well as Season 1's tagline, "Save the cheerleader, save the world", turned this young teen into an overnight sensation. Not to mention that I don't think she fully appreciates how great her ass is. Trust me, if you stare at for too long (more than 2 minutes, so you all are safe), you fall into a trance. She's hot. She's gifted. She's an international phenomenon. She's wanted in Japan. She's made the Red Wings happy by licking the Stanley Cup (among other things). She's Hayden Panettiere.

Great American Bash results

In the words of the Hokage in Naruto Abridged by MasakoX and Vegeta 3986, "Damn you, Golden Magic Monkey!" (Dear Anime News Network...) Don't worry, the Golden Magic Monkey was only my convienent scapegoat for my woes with the Great American Bash. I did alright, but I could have done better, breaking even at 3-3. This means my record will now stand without improvement or downfall at 159-127. As a sidenote, I didn't pick the Matt Hardy vs. Shelton Benjamin match because I didn't know it was going to happen when I made my picks, and the Batista vs. CM Punk match was tossed as a result of a double-disqualification (thanks for making sure I didn't further humilate myself by falling under .500 for the night, Kane). So, I think I should give a merci to Triple H, Mark Henry, and Chris Jericho. John Morrison & The Miz, John Cena, and Natalya, can't you guys do something important for once? Well, now the next thing for me to do is to steam about this and wait for SummerSlam. See ya in August.

313's Heroes and Goats

From the final round of The Open Championship

The Hero: Padraig Harrington. The Irishman didn't need luck or a playoff this time -- Harrington shot four under on the back nine to coast to a four-stroke win.
The Goat: Greg Norman. The 53-year-old took a two-shot lead into Sunday, then opened with three straight bogeys and shot 77. If it looks like a choke...

313's Heroes and Goats

From the third round of The Open Championship

The Hero: Greg Norman. The 53-year-old Australian played the perfect pitch shot over a pot bunker to within a foot of the cup for par on the 18th hole, giving him a two-shot lead over defending champion Padraig Harrington and K.J. Choi. The Great White Shark is 18 holes from becoming golf's oldest major champion.
The Goat: Jean Van de Velde. The choking usually waits until the final round with him. But he went from four-over-par and four shots off the lead to 14 over with an 80 that even contained an eagle on the 17th. The Frenchman was famous for his comical collapse at Carnoustie in 1999, when he triple-bogeyed the final hole, including a shot into the lake.

313's Heroes and Goats

From the second round of The Open Championship

The Heroes: Greg Norman. Three weeks after marrying tennis great Chris Evert, Norman kept up the honeymoon with his second straight par 70, leaving him one stroke off the lead.
Camilo Villegas. The Colombian, known more for his colorful sense of fashion than his golf game, carded eight birdies on his way to a 65 and could grab his first PGA Tour victory.
Padraig Harrington. The defending champion, who almost withdrew due to an ailing right wrist, is back in contention again after an eagle-birdie finish left him with a 68.
The Goat: Miguel Angel Jimenez. In contention after a first-round 72, The Mechanic was all thumbs Friday, carding nine bogeys, two double-bogeys and one birdie for an 82.

313's Heroes and Goats

From the first round of The Open Championship

The Hero: Rocco Mediate. He shares the first-round lead with Robert Allenby and Graeme McDowell and proves his U.S. Open runner-up finish was no fluke.
The Goat: Ernie Els. Three straight sixes toward the end of his round led to an 80 and pretty much ended any hope of victory.

WILF Wednesday Week 17

Welcome back to WILF Wednesday. Sorry, I know it's Thursday, but I've been forgetful lately. So before I forget to do something I didn't do last week, thanks to theassman345xxxo for making these vids. He definitely has great taste in women doesn't he? Anyways, I don't think I can say a whole lot about this week's WILF since, 1, she's a worldwide sensation, and 2, I practically worship the air she breaths. And if you don't know who she is, I have to words for you. Rachel Green. Come on, she practically created an international hairstyle craze in her early days of "Friends". And not only that she was funny as hell on "Friends", helping make it one of the best sitcoms in history. Now she's off doing films, where her resume includes "The Break-Up", "Friends with Money", "Along Came Polly", "Bruce Almighty", "The Good Girl", "The Iron Giant", and the timeless cult classic "Office Space". I'm really looking forward to next year's release of "He's Just Not That into You", because with a cast that includes her, Drew Barrymore, Scarlett Johansson, Jennifer Connelly, and Ginnifer Goodwin, that just screams, "KMB! Turn this into a Harem orgy!" And if you don't know me my now, let me tell you something. I would treat her ass like it was the middle of the Gulf of Mexico. I'd be drilling it until I hit oil. She's hot. She's funny. She's smart. She's a Best Musical or Comedy Actress Golden Globe winner in television. She's an Emmy Award winner. She's Jennifer Aniston.

From the final round of the Jamie Farr Owens Corning Classic Presented by Kroger

WILF Wednesday Week 16

Hey guys, what's up? Welcome to WILF Saturday, er, Wednesday. Yeah, I know, I'm late, I'm late, for a very important date. It's been such a busy week for me, I forgot to update the blog. Oops. Well, better get caught up. Today's WILF is a recent MILF as well. She's been in the acting game for a while now. She's played some big roles over her career. Probably one of her sexiest was Sharon Stone. No, not the actress. The hottie who tried to wrap John Goodman around her finger in "The Flintstones". She's played the talented Dorothy Dandridge. One of my favorite recent roles she's done has been Orono Munroe, aka Storm, in the "X-Men" movies. And must I say anything about her role in "Monster's Ball"? Hot, hot, hot! And muy excellente, if I say so myself. She's been a hot for the kids in "Robots". She was a Bond Girl in "Die Another Day". She's even played Catwoman (OK, so she isn't perfect, but she is human). And my, oh my, does she have a grest body. Excellent mountains for breasts. An ass that just begins for some attention. Let's face it, this lady is simply second to none. She's hot. She's lovely. She's talented. She's a Best Actress Academy Award winner. She's a Best Miniseries or Television Movie Actress Golden Globe Winner. She's an Emmy Award winner. She's the legendary Halle Berry.

Intro to the ESPY noms

It's not every day I have to do a intro to a post in a seperate post. The reason is that the post I'll be setting up is so frickin' long, I feel like I will have no choice other than to post the main article in a seperate post. Anyways, this is for the ESPY nominations. If you don't know what the ESPYs are, it's the sports world's biggest (and maybe only) red carpet event of the year. Put together by ESPN, it honors the best athletes, coaches, teams, and events from the past year. I've posted all of the nominees in all of the categories with a brief synoposis of the nominees. Get ready, drink some caffine, and check out the ESPY nominations. You can also go to ESPN.com if you want to vote for your favorites. Well, here we go...

WILF Wednesday Week 15

Hello, dudes and dudettes, and welcome to yet another edition of the one, the only, the undupiclated WILF Wednesday! I'm Tom Barry, aka 313. For tonight's video, gotta send shout-out to theassman345xxxo, who keeps these hotties rolling. Anyways, what on Earth can I say about this lady that hasn't already been said. She is the Latina version of Cindy Crawford, in the case of the mole anyways. The first we saw of this uber-hottie was in the video for "Miami" by Will Smith. Since then, it's been all sexy photospreads and all-star movies. She's done "Training Day" with Denzel Washington and Ethan Hawke, "2 Fast 2 Furious" with Paul Walker, Tyrese Gibson, Michelle Rodriguez, and Ludacris, the highly-underrated and under appreciated (at least in my book) "Stuck On You" with Matt Damon, Greg Kinnear, and Cher, "Hitch" with Will Smith and Kevin James, "Ghost Rider" with Nicolas Cage, and most recently "We Own the Night" alongside Mark Wahlberg, Joaquin Phoenix, and Robert Redford. Something funny i read about her, when she and Will reunited for "Hitch" and she asked if he remembered her from the video for "Miami", he had no idea that was her. See, Big Willy, that's when lying is a good thing. To say the least, the sky is the limit for this Cuban-American cutie. And as long as she still has breasts that I want to dive head first into and as ass that deserves to be spanked for no good reason, I'll still be checking her out. She's hot. She's a diverse actress. She's the hottest thing since the pizza that just came out of my oven. She's Eva Mendes.
