The News About Floyd Mayweather’s $20 Million Wrestling Match

Floyd Mayweather Jr., consider the best pound-for-pound fighter in the world has that he can not only box, but he can also dance by appearing on the hit ABC show "Dancing With the Stars" and now it seems he wants to show off his wrestling skills.

Mayweather will take on wrestling star Big Show, who is almost 400 pounds heavier and almost a foot and half taller. The match will take place March 30th during WWE's "WrestleMania XXIV" at Citrus Bowl in Orlando, Fla.

At $20 million I would wrestle Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Big Show. This will not only be a good payday for Floyd Mayweather Jr., but he says it will also be fun for him. This is all part of Floyd’s manager, Leonard Ellerbee’s plan to expand Mayweather's fan base.

That’s the news about that. I hope the news about you is good news.

The News About The Grammy Awards

Well, the Grammy Awards aired last night and boy was it a big one. Amy Winehouse and Kanye West turned out to be the biggest winners of the night. Winehouse took home five awards and Kanye took home four.

I would say that what made the night was the performance of Tina Turner and Beyonce doing “Proud Mary”. Tina Turner, who still looks great at 68 showed that she still has some of that energy that made her the star that she remains to be.

I must say that I’m a big Prince fan so anytime I get to see him perform it’s a good time for me and I was glad to see him perform last night. It was also great to see the reunion of The Time and their performance with Rihanna. I can’t wait to hear the new CD they have coming out.

A final note, Presidential Candidate, Barack Obama also won a Grammy last night for Best Spoken Word Album. That goes well with his primary wins this weekend.

That’s the news about that. I hope the news about you is good news.

The News About David Spade, Father To Be

Think David Spade is just a smart iliac nerd? Well think again. It is reported that David Spade may be the father to the unborn child of his ex-girlfriend, and get this, Playboy playmate, Jillian Grace.

Apparently David dated Jillian for a short time in 2007. How is that for a supposedly nerdy guy? But in all fairness to David, this is not the first hotty he has dated. He also dated Heather Locklear for a while.

David said, that if he is the father of Jillian’s child, that he will accept his responsibility. Also if it’s true that David Spade is the father, this will be his first child.

That’s the news about that. I hope the news about you is good news.

The News About Jennifer Siebel And Mayor Gavin Newsom

Once again I want to welcome you to my new blog. Today I am officially kicking this blog off. I want to start with Actress Jennifer Siebel who has a recurring role on one of my favorite shows, the new hit NBC show “Life”. In the show she plays the ex-wife of Detective Charlie Crews who spent 12 years in prison for a crime he didn’t commit.

It seems that this weekend Miss Siebel got engaged to San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom. Newsom reportedly popped the question Saturday in Hawaii. This will be Newsom’s second marriage and Siebel’s first.

Jennifer Siebel isn’t one of Hollywood’s hottest stars. In my opinion she is only moderately good looking. She has appeared in shows like “Numb3ers”, “Strong Medicine” and “Cracking Up” and films like “Rent”, “April Fool’s Day” and Zen Noir”. She will be in a new film that is now in post-production called “Till You Get To Baraboo”.

With her recurring role on “Life” and her engagement to Mayor Newsom, Jennifer Siebel is getting more attention, which just might lead to bigger and better roles. It’ll be interesting to see what happens next with Her.

That’s what the news is about today. I hope the news about you is good news.
