While the macho “Expendables” lured male audiences, Julia Roberts delivered a crowd-pleaser for women with Sony’s “Eat Pray Love,” which opened at No. 2 with $23.7 million.

The previous weekend’s top movie, Sony’s cop comedy “The Other Guys,” slipped to third place with $18 million, raising its 10-day total to $70.5 million. The Warner Bros. blockbuster “Inception” was fourth with $11.4 million, lifting its total to $248.6 million.

Opening in fifth place with $10.5 million was Universal’s graphic-novel adaptation “Scott Pilgrim vs. the World,” starring Michael Cera as a slacker caught up in duels to the death with his new girlfriend’s seven evil ex-boyfriends.

“The Expendables” continued a box-office uptick for Stallone, who has had a career resurgence in recent years revisiting his past with fresh sequels to his “Rocky” and “Rambo” franchises.

The movie features such action stars as Jet Li and Jason Statham - along with cameos from Bruce Willis and Arnold Schwarzenegger - in a tale of mercenaries aiming to overthrow a dictator.

It’s a throwback to the brawn and body counts of 1980s and ’90s action, a genre whose top three stars were Stallone, Willis and Schwarzenegger. The cast also includes such actors with 1980s roots as Mickey Rourke, Dolph Lundgren and Roberts’ brother, Eric Roberts, as well as wrestler Steve Austin, ultimate fighter Randy Couture and former NFL player Terry Crews.

Harvard Tops U.S News 2011 College

.

Williams College, in Williamstown, Massachusetts, was named the top liberal arts college. Harvard, in Cambridge, Massachusetts, and Princeton, in Princeton, New Jersey, have held the top two spots since the 2001 rankings. Yale University, in New Haven, Connecticut, was ranked third and Columbia University, in New York, rose to fourth place, according to the magazine, which announced the lists today.

U.S. News’s ratings, begun in 1983, are based on criteria such as student test scores, selectivity and peer evaluations. This year, the methodology was tweaked to add evaluations from high school counselors and to give more weight to graduation and retention rates, said Robert Morse, director of data research. As a result, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, in Cambridge, and the California Institute of Technology, in Pasadena, fell to seventh place after being tied for fourth last year, Morse said. The change in how graduation rates are counted hurt the rankings of Cal Tech

tim tebow haircut

.

Tebow, unlike fellow first round rookie Dez Bryant, complied with his rookie rite of passage. I'm sure Tebow wouldn't mind carrying Roy Williams' pads now.

This raises an important question in my opinion; Should rookie hazing be allowed?
Lindsay Jones of the Denver Post asked Tebow about his new style. "I asked Tim how long he has to keep the hair cut. He laughed as Kyle Orton answered for him: "Forever!"

I asked you guys on twitter what you think about rookie hazing. @carolinaware says
"I like how he isn't crying about it....Chilling. @ Tebow." Couldn't have said it any better.....imagine the drama Dez Bryant would have made if he got the Tebow treatment.

The match was not just important for the public as it was the main event and was a title match another more important reason for the match popularity was the verbal fights that took place between the two athletes before the match. The Anderson Silva vs. Chael Sonnen fight video is available on a number of websites including YouTube. The video is being watched by several cyberspace users. Everyone was amazed to see the great improvement in the fighting skills of Silva. He successfully


defeated the champion in the fifth round of the game. The spectators present at the event were amazed to see the triangle choke which Silva used in order to win the match.
At the start of the match Sonnen delivered some deadly punches to his opponent and he really started in the style of a champion. In the second round Silva was beaten up pretty badly again but he still performed better than the first round. Overall the match was great and both the mixed martial arts fighters that took place in the match fought very well. by makli.

The most fabulous match Anderson Silva Vs Chael Sonnen (full fight video given below) in the main event ofUFC 117 and their clash was held at the Oracle Arena in Oakland, Calif. on August 7. Silva faced by far the hardest test of his UFC career as Sonnen used his wrestling game to dominate the champion. As a result, Silva defeated Sonnen via triangle choke submission at 3:10 in round 5.

The good start of Sonnen set a brutal punches attack in the first round, Anderson turtles up and rolls. And Anderson let him hit him. In 30 seconds left in the round Chael postures up again and lands more big punches and at last, 10-8 round for Sonnen. by freakygossip.

mark hurd

.Mark's getting a $12,224,693 severance payment in exchange for agreeing not to sue HP. Yep, Mark Hurd just got $12 million in cash for fraudulently filing expense reports to conceal his mistress -- not a bad trick if you can pull it off, we suppose. (We don't know how much he'll have to pay back, but we're guessing he'll have a littlecash left over.) Oh, and he's also having his option to buy 775,000 shares of HP stock extended to September, which is pretty groovy considering HP actually upped its quarterly forecast today, some other assorted stock-related compensation, and 18 months of health and dental benefits. Whoever said a little white collar crime doesn't pay?

Tibetan mastiff

The source? A giant Tibetan mastiff, standing at least 3 feet tall and weighing between 130 and 150 pounds. Inexplicably, he was chained to a platform right at the entrance to the fair Tianjin dog, ensuring a rude welcome for all individual wandering in the event in this great city in northeast China.
There was no shortage of this dog. And if not bark the fear of God for you, there was a woman in high heels and short skirt made up firmly the direction away: “Be careful. It’s a bit temperamental.”by usspost

Bill Cosby Dead?

elliott sadler crash

It's possible because Pocono has a earthen berm at that section of the track that juts out from the regular inside wall, sticking into the runoff area. The berm is fronted by an old steel guardrail, and it was into that guardrail that Sadler's No. 19 Ford hit dead head-on in the most violent crash of the year and the most needlessly violent crash in quite some time.

It was the second horrific crash of the summer at Pocono, and several drivers, including Sunday's winner, Greg Biffle, and points leader Kevin Harvick, harshly criticized the lack of modern safety standards at the Pennsylvania track after the first crash, which saw Kasey Kahne's car nearly sail over the outside wall in the June race.

As detailed by FanHouse last week, Pocono has promised changes, explaining that they couldn't be made after the June race because there simply wasn't enough time before Sunday's event.

The criticism focused on the lack of enough SAFER barriers at Pocono, the lack of enough catch fencing, the use of old steel guardrails, the presence of earthen berms and the existence of grass runoff areas.

Love and Basketball

.
Gina Prince-Bythewood, a former college athlete, puts a spin on this one-on-one tale of Love and Basketball. Sanaa Lathan (The Best Man) is the fiercely driven, hot-tempered Monica, a tomboy who gives her all for basketball. Omar Epps (The Mod Squad) is Quincy, an NBA player’s son who has pro dreams of his own. Next-door neighbors since first grade, they start as rivals (she flabbergasts the boy by outplaying him in a game of driveway pickup) and age into best friends and lovers. The romantic complications follow a familiar game plan, but the film throws a fascinating spotlight onto the contrast between men’s and women’s basketball. While Quincy plays college ball on huge courts to cheering, sold-out crowds, we see Monica’s sweat, tears, and sheer physical dedication in front of tiny audiences in small gyms an by usposttoday

Chelsea Clinton’s wedding to Marc Mezvinsky

.
Times has published a few photos from Chelsea Clinton’s wedding to Marc Mezvinsky, held this evening at a private ceremony in Rhinebeck, New York. The details of the wedding have been subject to much speculation — including the make of Chelsea’s wedding dress! — as well as confirmed attendees (ferried to the event on shuttle buses with tinted windows) and the estimated cost of the lavish affair. A few photos from the event were released to select media outlets, including the Times, as well as the Washington Post and Politico, showing a smiling Chelsea with Mezvinsky, Secretary of State Clinton radiant in fuschia, and a very slim-looking President Bill Clinton walking his daughter down the aisle. by mediaite
