Pacquiao, the defending WBO welterweight champion, put sweat on a lot of brows today. He had a fender bender on the way back from church, apparently with one of the cars from his own security team. He didn't sustain any injuries, but it's hard to imagine what would have happened if this were serious. The fight's promoters might have just chucked him into the ring with a neck brace on!
The two fighters weighed in at the Garden Arena here yesterday at 3 p.m. local time. It had all the energy of a bout -- and as many fans, with some 8,000 madly screaming supporters watching. Rap music rumbled as the place shook, but the noise will seem like murmurs compared to what we will hear shortly. Surprisingly enough, there were as many women as men present yesterday at the weigh-in.
Mosley stripped down to his Calvin Kleins and tiptoed into the scale to screams and whistles, as if this were a strip show. He was ripped as can be -- I think I might have seen a 12-pack -- and weighed in at the 147-pound limit. Then he struck a bodybuilder's pose with gleaming eyes, broad smile and bursting biceps.
Pacquiao was next. He peeled off his yellow shirt with a red heart, symbolic of his fight to end hunger and poverty, and then got down to his boxers. The crowd went berserk, as expected. Cameras flashed like fireflies filling the arena. There was the usual obligatory face off, but these fellows have only respect for one another and ended up grinning it out and tapping each other on the shoulder at the end.

Dwayne Wade nasty 2 step around Kevin Garnett (May 3, 2011)

2011-05-05T12:04:00.001+02:00

Invité à réagir à l’annonce de l’arrivée de Deron Williams au Besiktas, Dwyane Wade laisse entendre qu’il pourrait aussi faire ses valises pour l’Europe.

« On savait tous depuis deux ans qu’il y avait un risque de lock-out, a-t-il rappelé. Ce n’est pas comme si nous l’avions découvert au dernier moment. Williams ne s’est pas réveillé un matin en se disant : « tiens, si j’allais jouer en Turquie ». Certainement que c’était quelque chose à laquelle il avait réfléchi depuis longtemps.

Pour Wade, ce désir de jouer en Europe est d’abord motivé par le besoin et l’envie de jouer.

Il aime le basket et il a envie de jouer au haut niveau. S’il ne peut pas le faire en NBA, il a décidé de saisir sa chance de jouer ailleurs. J’espère que le conflit ne durera pas, mais si c’est le cas, d’autres l’imiteront. »

Le journaliste lui demande alors si justement lui l’imitera.

« Si une opportunité se présente, j’y réfléchirai. »

Has Fernando Torres Score for Chelsea?

2011-04-24T00:02:00.000+02:00

58 millions d'euros. Et 740 minutes sans but. Transfert le plus cher de l'histoire du football anglais et du mercato hivernal, Fernando Torres a mis fin à sa série noire en inscrivant samedi, face à West Ham (3-0), le deuxième but des Blues. Lancé dans la profondeur par Nicolas Anelka, l'attaquant espagnol tenta d'emmener du pied droit le ballon, freiné par... une flaque d'eau. Attentif, "el Nino" se retourna et, du pied gauche, il adressa une frappe gagnante sur la droite de Robert Green.

omme à West Bromwich Labion, le 16 avril (3-1), puis face à Birmingham City, mercredi dernier (3-0), Fernando Torres a pourtant débuté la partie sur le banc. Alors que Carlo Ancelotti lui avait longtemps maintenu sa confiance, l'Espagnol a fait les frais de la double confrontation face à Manchester United, en quarts de finale de la Ligue des champions (0-1, 1-2), où il s'était montré particulièrement décevant. Entré en jeu à la 77e en lieu et place de Didier Drogba, l'Espagnol a mis sept minutes seulement à trouver la faille lors de son quatorzième match sous les couleurs du club londonien.

C'est peu dire qu'il a vécu ce premier but comme une libération. Ses coéquipiers se sont tous précipités sur l'ancien joueur de Liverpool pour fêter avec lui l'événement. Cette joie explosive, rarement vue, offre l'image d'un vestiaire des Blues particulièrement solidaire. "Ce n'étaient pas les débuts que j'attendais quand j'ai signé, mais ce n'est pas facile de commencer dans un nouveau club en janvier ou février", a commenté Torres au micro de la chaîne ESPN. "J'ai continué à travailler et c'est grâce à mes coéquipiers que j'ai marqué. J'aurai moins de pression. Je vais pouvoir en profiter." C'est sûr qu'à ce prix-là, un but ne suffit pas...

Des internautes moqueurs

Cette première réalisation pour Torres a évidemment déclenché un torrent de réactions sur le web, et notamment sur le site de micro-blogging Twitter où les internautes n'ont pas manqué de moquer le ratio but marqué/temps passé sur la pelouse/montant du transfert. L'acteur @davidschneider ironise ainsi : "Torres a marqué. Il vaut maintenant 85 millions de livres", soit 96 millions d'euros.

On ne compte pas non plus les tweets introduits par BREAKING NEWS ou les hashtag #icantbelieveit ("Je ne peux pas y croire"). Mais le must reste ce site internet créé pour l'occasion et simplement intitulé http://hasfernandotorresscoredforchelsea.com/ (Est-ce que Fernando Torres a marqué pour Chelsea ?) avec comme seul élément : un immense YES. Oui, Fernando Torres a marqué.

Each year Derrick Rose has stepped on the court, he has gotten better.
Each of his three seasons he has taken on more and more of the Chicago offense but his true shooting percentage has gone up each year (that’s his points per shot attempt, counting threes and fouls), his assist percentages have gone up, each year his three-point shooting has improved.

Ça ne vaut qu'un but, certes, mais aussi un tour du monde sur Internet. Ses adversaires du soir doivent maintenant attendre la vidéo de son penalty-salto, manqué cette fois. Le penalty ou le salto, au choix.

Ghostface Killah's 'Apollo Kids' Track-By-Track

2010-12-19T00:08:00.000+01:00

After releasing offbeat R&B exploration "Ghostdini: Wizard of Poetry in Emerald City" last year, Wu-Tang Clan MC Ghostface Killah returns to creating pummeling street rap with "Apollo Kids," his ninth studio album set for a Dec. 21 release. Taking its title from a track on his 2000 classic "Supreme Clientele," the album finds the rapper (real name: Dennis Coles) once again relying on his obtuse wordplay and delicious soul samples.

"Apollo Kids" also boasts impressive roster of guest rappers, including Busta Rhymes, the Game, Jim Jones and more than a few of Ghost's Wu-Tang brethren. They all add to the rap-for-rap's-sake vibe of the album, with tracks like "Superstar" and "Starkology" featuring little more than a few flowing verses and a grimy beat to match.

Before the album is released next week, check out Billboard.com's take on each of the 12 songs on Ghostface's latest effort.

1. "Purified Thoughts" (featuring Killah Priest and GZA)
"Apollo Kids"'s opening track and the first of its many posse cuts features an aching soul sample that asks, "Am I a good man?" Ghostface jumps on the dark track and spits in a deep, gruff voice, while Killah Priest later unravels the tongue-twisting line, "Gravity grabbin' me, gradually draggin' me through hell's cavity/This is blasphemy, I fell where the jackals be."

2. "Superstar" (featuring Busta Rhymes)
Ghostface shifts from somber to superfly on "Superstar," his funky collaboration with Busta Rhymes collaboration that showcases the Wu-Tang MC's off-the-wall wordplay. "Mink coats! Rock diamond wristlets!/Bankroll's so thick I don't need a wish list," Ghostface raps over a thick bass line and quick electric guitar lick.

3. "Black Tequila" (featuring Cappadonna and Trife)
Even before Ghostface and his two cohorts, Trife and Cappadonna, arrive on "Black Tequila," Frank Dukes' vibrant production, which hinges on pounding snare hits and wonky guitar parts, establishes the Latin-tinged track as an early highlight. The trio of rappers feed off of each other's chest-thumping swagger on the track, but Trife's violent storytelling remains the most captivating.

4. "Drama" (featuring Joell Ortiz and the Game)
"Drama," the longest track on "Apollo Kids" at only 4:28, recalls Ghostface's meticulously plotted "Fishscale" track "Shakey Dog" by offering a winding narrative of drugs and violence -- as the Game calls it, "Wu-Tang Sopranos." Treating the song like a campfire story, Ghostface, Joell Ortiz and the Game spin a yarn about calculating gangsters, kitchens full of cocaine, and exacting revenge at a Burger King drive-through window.

5. "2getha Baby"
Ghostface's first solo track on "Apollo Kids" is simple and head-knocking, with a buttery sample breaking up the rapper's boasts and sexual innuendos. Once again, the MC's loose, uncluttered rhymes shine through, with an opening line like "It's Tone, crispy like a pair of headphones/Used to play the 280 party rec rooms/Now I play the big spots all in the city/Spraying champagne, scoping out bitties" immediately grabbing the listener's attention.

6. "Starkology"
In just two minutes and 25 seconds, Ghostface spearheads an adrenaline rush of a track that plays off his prominent qualities. "Starkology" lets the percussion stay out of the way of Pretty Toney's flow, with only a few second-long DJ scribbles breaking up the rapper's whacked-out musings.

7. "In Tha Park" (featuring Black Thought)
Staten Island meets South Philly as Ghostface welcomes the Roots MC Black Thought on this guitar-driven track. Instead of delivering his verse with his typically measured flow, Thought matches Ghost's hard-edged braggadocio and drops out-of-character declarations like, "You don't like how I'm living? Well, fuck you!"

8. "How You Like Me Baby"
"How You Like Me Baby" plays out like a distant cousin of "Big Doe Rehab" track "Walk Around," in which the rapper uses a mid-tempo R&B hook as a springboard to his rough-and-tumble rhyming. The track features slick production from Pete Rock as well as a bridge in which Ghostface forgoes any outside singing help and belts out a few bars by himself.

9. "Handcuffin' Them Hoes" (featuring Jim Jones)
"Apollo Kids" is full of Ghostface's romantic recountings and bedroom achievements, but "Handcuffin' Them Hoes," featuring Dipset rapper Jim Jones, is a full-on celebration of women. "I gets my love game on, without a doubt," Ghost snarls before describing how he constantly has too much money to fit in his jeans.

10. "Street Bullies" (featuring Sheek Louch, Wiggs and Sungod)
Ghostface Killah caps off "Apollo Kids" with a trio of songs featuring three other rappers, the first showcasing recent tour mate Sheek Louch, Wiggs and Ghostface's son, Sungod. On "Street Bullies," the three MCs perform admirably over a beat punctuated by a piercing female vocal sample; sadly, Ghostface opts to simply rap the chorus instead of laying down a few bars.

11. "Ghetto" (featuring Raekwon, Cappadonna and U-God)
Wu-Tang Clan members Raekwon, Cappadonna and U-God drop by to each lend a quick verse to this track, which chronicles the rappers' hardships while growing up. With its snare rolls and grooving guitar, "Ghetto" wouldn't be out of place on Raekwon's 2009 triumph, "Only Built 4 Cuban Linx, Pt. 2."

12. "Troublemakers" (featuring Raekwon, Method Man and Redman)
The three principles of this year's "Wu Massacre" album, as well as an effervescent Redman, close out "Apollo Kids" on a high note. Like any classic Wu-Tang cut, "Troublemakers" is a cohesive mixture of many styles: Raekwon's detailed storytelling, Ghostface's unfiltered danger, Redman's animated drug rhymes and Method Man's cold intensity.

Lil Wayne Has Drugs Named After Him

While some celebrities are honored by having a street or building named in their honor, Lil Wayne has had a bag of drugs named after him.

Justin Bieber Coming to Vanity Fair Cover

Justin Bieber is set to be on the cover of Vanity Fair magazine in either February or March of 2011. While there's been no official word on concept for the Bieber cover, it likely won't be as provocative as Lady Gaga's racy cover that was released last summer. ( FishbowlNY)

LCD Soundsystem's James Murphy recently said that he has had to turn down opportunities to work with high-profile indie acts due to his commitment to his band.

Why Soulja Boy's 2.5 Million Twitter Followers Didn't Make a Hit Album

2010-12-19T00:02:00.000+01:00

What do 2.5 million Twitter followers get you? If you're Soulja Boy, it gets you a barely tepid 13,000 in first-week sales of your new album and a debut at No. 90 on the Billboard 200. "The DeAndre Way" sold 2,000 digital copies and 11,000 physical in the United States, according to SoundScan, in the week following its Nov. 30 release. His last album, "iSouljaBoyTellem" (2008), sold 45,000 the first week -- 2,000 digital and 43,000 physical.

Now to be fair, Soulja Boy is very much a singles artist. "Crank Dat (Soulja Boy)" was the 14th best-selling digital song of all time with more than 4.6 million downloads. But even the first single from "The DeAndre Way" -- "Pretty Boy Swag" -- didn't stack up, with 590,000 downloads since it first went on sale in June. Track sales from the new album total 718,000.

So does this below-expected outing mean that Twitter follower stats are becoming as meaningless as MySpace friend stats have become? Hard to say just yet. Twitter remains an unparalleled channel of fan communication, as evidenced by the dominance by music acts in the top 10 most retweeted tweets of the year, which were recently unveiled by the company.

But it does raise a few questions. Sure, Soujla Boy has 2.5 million Twitter followers, but how many are paying attention? It's pretty easy to tune out Twitter feeds you're no longer interested in without going through the trouble of actually dropping the account you're following. But Twitter won't share any data on the average number of feeds dropped in a given timeframe.

Soulja Boy, however, is a bit harder to ignore on Twitter than others. He seems to averages between 15-20 Tweets a day. On Nov. 30, the day "The DeAndre Way" dropped, he posted almost 70 Tweets, about 20 of which were related directly to the album and its availability, many of which included a link to iTunes.

It certainly seems like he did all the right things: compiled a massive Twitter following, kept them engaged with regular posts, and then issued a call to action several times a day with direct access to buy the album. So why the disconnect between 2.5 million people making the effort to follow Soulja Boy on Twitter, but only 13,000 buying the album?

It is possible, of course, fans just didn't like the music. But it seems odd so many people would follow him without having some predisposition to buy his work. Did he use Twitter the wrong way by posting too much? Has Twitter just grown so large that it's getting harder to rise above all the noise taking place on the platform?

Which brings us back to the original question -- what does 2.5 million Twitter followers really get you? Share your thoughts in the comments.

DMX Sentenced to One Year in Prison

2010-12-18T23:56:00.000+01:00

DMX is heading back to prison for one year after pleading guilty to violating the terms of his probation.

DMX, whose real name is Earl Simmons, was arrested on Nov. 18 in Phoenix, Arizona, for using cocaine and consuming alcohol during a performance in an Arizona club and later failing to check in with his probation officer. He was also accused of driving on a suspended license.

The embattled rapper has already served two stints in prison this year. DMX most recently walked free in August after serving 18 days of a 90-day sentence in connection with a reckless driving conviction from 2002. He also served four months behind bars earlier in the year for a previous parole violation charge, before being released in July.
Upon receiving the guilty plea, Judge Christine Mulleneaux, who had previously rejected two requests by the rapper's lawyer to release him on bail prior to sentencing, ordered DMX to serve a year behind bars.

Judge Mulleneaux said, "Substance abuse issues are at the root of this problem ... Your criminal history goes back to 1988. It's going to continue if you don't take care of your mental health."

It certainly looks like DMX will be spending his birthday behind bars. The rapper turns 40 on Dec. 18.

Flo Rida's new album Only 1 Flo

2010-12-18T23:53:00.000+01:00

Flo Rida is back with his new album Only 1 Flo and we have three copies to give away.

It's been another spectacular year for the US hip hop superstar. His last single 'Club Can't Handle Me' with David Guetta was a massive hit, topping both the US and UK charts, his collaboration with The Saturdays 'Higher' enjoyed top 10 status and he's travelled the globe with his dance floor filling tunes. Now he's releasing his third studio record.

Only One Flo (Part 1), is an envelope-pushing collection of party-friendly anthems that showcases Flo Rida's signature stop-and-go flow, melodic sensibility, massive hooks, and billion-dollar beats, as well as his clever lyricism. ' like to sit down and come up with a melody first, before I even apply the lyrics,' he says. 'Because when you're creating a track, you should become an instrument, not just rap over a beat. For me to connect with a track, it has to be soulful.'

To tap into that soulful vibe, Flo Rida collaborated with a host of A-list songwriters and producers, including Bruno Mars and Phillip Lawrence, David Guetta, Dr. Luke, Benny Blanco, Kevin Rudolf, Boi 1da, and Frank E. ''m very particular about who I work with,' Flo Rida says. 'They don't have to be a huge name, but I have to feel like they're bringing something that's outside the box.'
