With the highest weekly sales figure since 2005, Lil Wayne crashes in at No. 1 on The Billboard 200 with "Tha Carter III." The set moved just over 1 million copies in the United States, the first time the six-figure threshold was crossed since 50 Cent's "The Massacre" in March 2005. Plies' "Definition of Real" sold 215,000 to debut at No. 2. The multi-label "Now 28" compilation slips a notch 2-3 with 132,000 copies, a 28% sales decrease.

Coldplay - Viva La Vida [Retail}

2008-06-13T03:13:00.000-07:00

It's be circulating the web since last week but not until now do we have a Retail rip of Coldplay's new album. They've been together for about 10 years now and have already gain worldwide success. Current single "Viva La Vida" is currently #3 on the Billboard Hot 100 thanks to the highly promoted iTunes commercial. As for the album with so much anticipation for the album they did not fail to my standards. They've always been criticised for some of their sensitive, heartfelt ballads & lyrics. But the boys aren't the type to let the critics get to them. They have regrouped, and worked out what made them great in the first place. And with the help of great producer Brian Eno they were able to craft a great album filled with marvelous layered songs. Whether it be a pumping bass drum or lush strings in the background each song was made just right. Deff check it out and BUY YOUR COPY JUNE 12TH (UK), 17TH (US)!!

Lil Wayne - Tha Carter III [Explict/Retail]

2008-06-05T00:16:00.001-07:00

As many of you know when it comes to rappers and Hip-hop I'm not the biggest fan. There are only a couple I can listen too and Lil Wayne fits perfectly into that category. Two years have passed since "Carter II" and countless amounts of mixtapes and guest appearances have been made. Wayne is more then ready to release "Carter III" already scoring a #1 single with "Lollipop" and many more to come. Every track is handled with exceptional delivery from Weezy no matter how hard the beat is driven. With all the hype surrounding the album you may be expecting a masterpiece but I wouldn't call it that just yet. It's a solid hot/good effort with great production. With that being said check it out for yourself and BUY YOUR COPY JUNE 10TH!!

Ashanti - The Declaration [Retail]
It's been about 4 years since Ashanti dropped her third studio album "Concrete Rose". Even though she managed to have a hit on the album ("Only U") it's her lowest-selling studio album to date. She's had some single & album release date issuses but that aside and Ashanti is back. Current single "The Way That I Love You" is doing very well on the Billboard Hot 100 R&B/Hip-Hop Charts but doesn't share the same success on the Hot 100 just yet. As for the album this time around Ashanti took control and had a list of many producers she's never worked with before. Even with the list of A-list producers I can't say I hear anything new. The beats stick to straightforward bounce or toned down ballads. I can hear the growth in her voice and it's clear she has matured but I feel lacks personality when she sings. The album is a step up from her last effort and is a nice listen. Deff check it out and BUY YOUR COPY ON JUNE 3RD!!

Week Ending May 25, 2008: David Vs. David, The Showdown Moves To The Charts

2008-05-28T16:34:00.000-07:00

David Cook and David Archuleta take their friendly competition from the set of American Idol to the national pop charts. Cook places a staggering 17 songs on the top 200 Hot Digital Songs chart. His bevy of hits includes the new #1, "Time Of My Life," which opens with a healthy total of 236,000 downloads. Cook's 17 entries have a combined total of 944,000 paid downloads. I don't think he'll need to go back to bartending anytime soon.

Archuleta places 12 songs on the Hot Digital Songs chart, topped by his cover of John Lennon's "Imagine," which opens at #16 with 71,000 downloads. Archie's songs have a combined total of 301,000 paid downloads. Thus, Cook was downloaded more than three times as often as his rival, whom he beat in last week's voting by a much less lopsided margin of 56% to 44%. (If Archie had won the title, would he be dominating the download battle? Probably. America loves a winner.)

Robert Knox(Marcus Delby) is dead

2008-05-26T16:53:00.000-07:00

The family of the murdered Harry Potter actor Robert Knox called yesterday for tougher action against teenagers carrying knives.

The 18-year-old was killed outside the Metro bar in Sidcup, southeast London, as he tried to protect his younger brother, Jamie, from a man armed with two knives.

The actor, who plays the Hogwarts student Marcus Belby in the forthcoming film Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, was the ninth teenager to be stabbed to death in London this year.

He was a member of the same rugby club as Jimmy Mizen, who was stabbed to death two weeks ago at a bakery in Lee, southeast London.
The actor’s parents, Colin and Sally, and his brother visited the scene of the murder yesterday. Colin Knox, 55, who works in media production, said that the last conversation he had had with his son was on the danger of knives. “With knives there are no winners and only losers. If you are a person who carries a knife, think about the consequences before you carry the knife,” he said.

Mr Knox said that the recent wave of knife crime in the capital was a political issue and added: “There’s a lot of fear out there and basically someone has to change the way we think.”

Sally Knox, 50, a retail buyer, said: “I can’t understand personally the people who are against this stop-and- search because they think that it will make it worse.”

Jamie, 17, an Olympic hopeful in Tae Kwon Do, left a card at the murder scene which read: “I looked up to you so much. Everyone you met you touched. I would never have thought it would turn out this way. I thought you were invincible.”

Knox completed filming of the latest Harry Potter last Tuesday and had signed to appear in Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows, the seventh film in the franchise. He had been acting since the age of 11 and had appeared in the 2004 film King Arthur, the BBC comedy After You've Gone, The Bill and Tonight with Trevor McDonald on ITV and the Channel 4 reality show Trust Me, I’m A Teenager. Karl Bishop, 21, from Chislehurst, southeast London, is being held in custody on suspicion of murder.

PACMAN IS NOW ON TRAINING!!!

2008-05-25T15:54:00.000-07:00

Los Angeles, CA:- The fickle Southern California weather was at its best again. In the last few days there was nothing but bright sunshine and fantastic spring weather. Yesterday, however there was a sudden change. There were scattered rains storms accompanied by lightning and thunder. There were mudslides and hail. And, would you believe it… a tornado touched down in Riverside and toppled over huge trees and even train locomotives.
But those were about the only changes worth mentioning because back at the Wildcard Gym it was business as usual for Team Pacquiao.
Pacquiao arrive on time and on schedule for his training today (May 23). Being a Friday, he did not spar. But he did his usual training routine.

The Chonicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian

2008-05-21T02:25:00.000-07:00

The second installment in the Narnia franchise, adapted from C.S. Lewis popular young-adult fantasy novels, is slightly darker than THE LION, THE WITCH AND THE WARDROBE (2005), which is not to say that the first film is all sunlight and daffodils. But it does end with the implicit promise that, thanks to the courage and cleverness of the Pevensie siblings, human youngsters who rise to the challenge of righting a world where it's always winter and never Christmas, all wrongs have been righted for the foreseeable future. CASPIAN is predicated on the less comforting notion that the price of freedom is eternal vigilance.

The Chronicles of Narnia:Prince Caspian is now the prince of all the latest movies as it became a box office hit. A must see movie!!!

Her current single "I Kissed A Girl" has made it's way onto mainstream radio and is currently #76 on the Billboard Hot 100.

Paul Potts

2008-05-06T19:20:00.001-07:00

Paul Robert Potts (born 13 October 1970 in Bristol, England), from Port Talbot in South Wales, is a British tenor who in 2007 became the winner of the first series of ITV's Britain's Got Talent, singing an operatic aria, "Nessun Dorma" from Turandot. Potts had worked in unpaid opera productions from 1999 to 2003.
Potts has been married since May 2003 to the former Julie-Ann Cooper, whom he met in an Internet chat room. They connected in person for the first time at the Swansea Railway Station in February, 2001. Julie-Ann had the upper hand at this "first meeting" as she had a photograph of Paul, but he had no idea what she looked like.[23]
On June 9, 2007, Potts' audition of Simon Cowell's new search-for-a-star show Britain's Got Talent was televised on ITV1 in the UK. The audition was held at the Wales Millennium Centre in Cardiff on March 17, 2007.[11] Paul sang Giacomo Puccini's "Nessun Dorma," for which he received a standing ovation from the audience of 2,000 people. Contrary to popular belief, Paul did not sing a condensed version of the aria, but rather the full rendition. The editing process did not produce a "perfect" condensation, as one can see his lips getting ready to sing the next line after his second "...Nessun Dorma...", which starts with "Tu pure, o, Principessa...".[12] This performance has been viewed on video upload site YouTube over 24 million times.[13][14]

In the semi-final on June 14, 2007, Potts performed the main verses of "Con te partirò" ("Time to Say Goodbye").[15] He progressed to the final after receiving the highest public vote in that show.[16] He performed "Nessun Dorma" for his finale on June 17, 2007 as well as an encore after he won the competition. Potts defeated co-favourite with the bookmakers, Connie Talbot and received the highest public vote out of two million votes cast to win Britain's Got Talent, winning the right to perform at the Royal Variety Performance on December 3, 2007, in front of Her Majesty The Queen.

In December 2007, Prime Minister Gordon Brown presented Potts with a discography plaque for having sold 2,000,000 copies of his album One Chance and for showing that "Britain really does have huge amounts of talent."[17]

[edit] Recent activity
In the United States, he was profiled on a National Public Radio programme called "Day to Day" on June 15, 2007. On June 18, 2007, a commercial US Television network, NBC, highlighted Potts' victory on its broadcast network's NBC Nightly News and on its Cable news outlet MSNBC. Then on June 21, 2007 he appeared live on NBC's programme Today.

During the programme there was some controversy[18]as to the "undiscovered" nature of Potts' talent. He was portrayed on the show as simply a mobile-phone salesman, whereas he had in fact appeared in six amateur opera productions and in a concert for the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra[8] and had plans for a summer tour with the Orchestra.[8] Potts responded to his critics saying that he had not claimed to be completely untutored, that he had never performed any concert for pay and was therefore amateur and that the lessons he had received in Italy had been paid for from his own savings.[19]

On July 8, 2007, Potts performed at a Katherine Jenkins' concert at Margam Park, "Katherine In The Park". Jenkins extended an invitation for him to sing his rendition of "Nessun Dorma" at the concert.[20] On July 16, 2007, his debut album One Chance was released in UK, and on July 22, 2007, the album claimed the number one spot in the UK Album Chart. On November 6, 2007, Potts appeared on the Oprah Winfrey Show to perform on a show whose topic was YouTube.[21] On November 24, 2007, Potts was interviewed on the National Public Radio programme Weekend Edition Saturday.

On December 13, 2007, he performed in Leipzig in the live television broadcast of the 13th annual José Carreras Gala, accompanied by the Deutsches Filmorchester Babelsberg under the direction of Scott Lawton.[1]

On January 17, 2008, exactly six months to the day after winning Britain's Got Talent, he began his 2008 Concert Series at the Pavilion Theatre[22] in Rhyl, U.K., which will be covering 65 cities across 13 countries. His current concert schedule ends on June 9, 2008, exactly one year after his first appearance on Britain's Got Talent.

Clay Aiken - On My Way Here [Retail]
I know I'm a little late on this but I'll be honest and say I'm not really a fan of Clay's music. But I wanted to give the album a listen regardless of what I thought. Clay no doubt about it has one hell of a voice, and he knows what style of music works for him. Despite now being part of the cast of Broadway play "Monty Python's Spamalot" he did find time to record his(this) fourth studio album. Wether it be a uptempo pop song or a nice pop ballad it's clear to see the main focus is Clay's impressive vocal range. It's not really my cup of tea but I can see why Clay has been able to maintain a fan base. So deff check it out, and BUY YOUR COPY MAY 6TH!!

Sam Sparro - Black & Gold

2008-05-04T18:04:00.000-07:00

Smooth, sexy, poppy and just damn good fun grosss up Sam Sparro’s new EP, Black & Gold. Blending rock and funk with disco grasp, Sparro savors how to retain a party exodus with these six songs. It’s just a dishonor he doesn’t cozen besides music coming out for a perfect relieve, as this E.P. ends far too posthaste.

Shallowness parenthesis, Black & Gold is a party pleaser. Sam Sparro knows music and has created six wicked vocalizes that will be a hit at any gathering. This is one oily, sexy, futuristic bit of electro-funk pop that delivers.

Sam Sparro - Black & Gold Lyrics :-
The fish swam out of the ocean
and grew legs and they started walking
and the apes climbed down from the trees
and grew tall and they started talking

and the stars fell out of the sky
and my tears rolled into the ocean
now i'm looking for a reason why
you even set my world into motion

'cause if you're not really here
then the stars don't even matter
now i'm filled to the top with fear
but it's all just a bunch of matter
'cause if you're not really here
then i don't want to be either
i wanna be next to you
black and gold
black and gold
black and gold

i looked up into the night sky
and see a thousand eyes staring back
and all around these golden beacons
i see nothing but black

[Black & Gold lyrics on http://top10mp3download.blogspot.com ]
i feel a way of something beyond them
i don't see what i can feel
if vision is the only validation
then most of my life isn't real

'cause if you're not really here
then the stars don't even matter
now i'm filled to the top with fear
but it's all just a bunch of matter
'cause if you're not really here
then i don't want to be either
i wanna be next to you
black and gold
black and gold
black and gold

Paramore

2008-04-29T20:22:00.000-07:00

Paramore's rise has been the result of consistent hard work since Hayley first met Josh Farro (guitar, age 19) and his younger brother Zac (drums, age 16) while they were together in school four years ago. After adding Jeremy Davis (bass, age 22), Paramore was formed in 2004 and started playing their first shows.

Over the past two years, Paramore, the rapidly emerging pop-punk quintet from Tennessee, has been building a near-deafening 'next big thing' buzz. Driven by riveting live shows and the undeniable charisma of their frontwoman, 18-year-old Hayley Williams, they have captivated an increasingly rabid following. Confronted by the double-edged sword of overwhelming early praise, Paramore has risen to the challenge and recorded an album that happily delivers on all the claims made on their behalf. With their new Fueled By Ramen collection, 'RIOT!', they announce that they have the talent, the passion, and the songs to take themselves to the next level.

Official Iron Man Theatrical Trailer 2008

2008-04-29T18:55:00.000-07:00

Iron Man (Anthony Edward "Tony" Stark) is a fictional comic book superhero in the Marvel Comics universe. Created by writer-editor Stan Lee, writer Larry Lieber, and artists Don Heck and Jack Kirby, he first appeared in Tales of Suspense #39 (March 1963). Tony Stark, after being gravely injured and forced to build a devastating weapon, instead created a suit of power armor to save his life and help protect the world as Iron Man. He is a wealthy industrialist and genius inventor whose suit of armor is laden with technological devices that enable him to fight crime.

Throughout most of his career, Iron Man has been a member of the superhero team the Avengers, and has been featured in several incarnations of his own various comic-book series. He has been adapted into animated films and TV series, and Robert Downey Jr. portrays him in an upcoming live-action film. Forbes has ranked Iron Man among the wealthiest fictional characters on their annual ranking. BusinessWeek has also ranked Iron Man as one of the top ten most intelligent fictional characters in American comics.

Pacman ready to sign Diaz fight pact

2008-04-29T18:51:00.000-07:00

It’s just a matter of time before Manny Pacquiao signs the contract for his June 28 fight with David Diaz at Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas.

According to Franklin Gacal, legal counsel of the Filipino boxing superstar, his negotiations with Top Rank president Bob Arum in the US worked out so well.

Gacal left for the US last week and has had several meetings with Arum, who will promote the coming fight with the Manny Pacquiao Promotions.

“At my level the negotiations ended well,” Gacal told The STAR via e-mail.

“And it’s now subject to the final approval of, and signing of the contract by Manny upon my return on May 2,” said Gacal who refused to mention any figure stipulated in the contract.

Arum, however, has said that Pacquiao stands to earn as much as what he got for his rematch with Juan Manuel Marquez last month in Las Vegas.

For that fight, Pacquiao reportedly received a guaranteed purse of $5.5 million and took close to $2 million on pay-per-view shares and sales of merchandise.

Gacal said Pacquiao liked what he heard over the telephone.

“As per my telephone conversation with Pacman he is happy with the deal I have agreed in principle with Top Rank which has scheduled a series of city tours to be done by both fighters to promote the bout,” Gacal said.

Arum has scheduled a press conference on May 13 to be attended by Pacquiao and Diaz in Los Angeles.

Gacal added that Top Rank and MP Promotions have agreed that two Filipino boxers will be in the undercard. But he did not mention any names.

Pacquiao is in Gen. Santos City, catching up on his studies and trying to keep in shape by running in the morning and playing basketball in the afternoon.

He said he intends to fly to LA on May 10 but before that might spend a couple of days at a local gym in Gen. Santos City.

ARUM NOT HAPPY WITH PACQUIAO’S DELAYED ARRIVAL

2008-04-29T18:35:00.000-07:00

Top Rank promoter Bob Arum admits he is “not very happy” about Filipino ring icon Manny Pacquiao’s failure to show up for a planned press conference on May 3 forcing Arum to postpone the event for May 13.

In an overseas telephone conversation with Viva Sports/Manila Standard Today, Arum said “I am not very happy about it but we’ll make the best of it.”

He said he had spoken to celebrated trainer Freddie Roach and indicated “we have a busy promotional schedule” stating that Pacquiao won't get time to rest on his off-days “because that’s the price he has to pay.”

Arum said plans call for Pacquiao to fly to Chicago “which is quite a distance”, San Francisco , San Diego and Phoenix as well as to hold “a public workout in a park in Los Angeles where the area is mostly populated by Filipinos.”

Arum took a good-natured dig at reports that Pacquiao had gone scuba diving in Cebu saying “scuba diving is not good for anyone, including the fish."

In fact there has been some concern that while Pacquiao appears to be relaxing, Diaz is training hard in Chicago where he told well-known boxing writer Ron Borges, “Pacquiao is a top fighter in his prime but when I look at him I see a guy I can hit real easy. I see a guy I can beat.”

Arum as well as Roach have cautioned Pacquiao about taking Diaz lightly. He told us that Diaz “is not only a tough fighter he is a determined fighter. He stays in there and has a rock hard chin. Manny has to be prepared to go twelve tough rounds with him.”

Pacquiao is scheduled to leave for Los Angeles on May 10 after he attends the oath taking of the new Armed Forces of the Philippines Chief-of-Staff Lt. Gen. Alexander Yano who is reportedly a close friend.

David Diaz Believes He Can Beat Pacquiao

2008-04-28T03:20:00.000-07:00

In 1996, Zab Judah was supposed to represent the United States in the light welterweight division at the Olympic Games in Atlanta. Somebody got in his way. Nobody could quite believe it.

Ten years later, Jose Armando Santa Cruz was supposed to win the WBC interim lightweight title at the Thomas and Mack Center in Las Vegas. Somebody got in his way. Nobody could quite believe it.

A year after that fight, Mexican legend Erik Morales was supposed to start his final comeback by winning the WBC lightweight title at the Allstate Arena in Rosemont, Ill., just outside of Chicago. Somebody not only got in his way, he sent Morales into retirement. Nobody could quite believe it.

This pesky person nobody seems to believe in is now preparing to face Manny Pacquiao for that same version of the 135-pound title in Pacquiao’s first foray into the lightweight division. Manny Pacquiao is supposed to win when he steps into the ring at the Mandalay Bay Events Center on June 28. If he doesn’t, nobody will quite believe it.

Nobody but David Diaz, who has made a reputation and finally a few dollars by upsetting other people’s apple carts as well as other people’s fighters. Diaz is a humble guy by nature and so would be the first to tell you maybe he’s nothing special in the world of prize fighting. He’ll tell you that but it doesn’t mean he won’t intend to beat your ears back after he’s through talking.

That’s because he’s learned what so many in boxing never have understood. He’s learned that all the talking in the world and all the expectations of the world don’t mean a thing once the fighting starts. And fighting is something he’s quite willing to get involved with, even against someone universally recognized as one of the best pound-for-pound fighters on this planet.

“I’ve been wanting a big fight like this for a long time,’’ Diaz (34-1-1, 17 KO) said from his home in Chicago last week. “I feel pretty good about this fight. Pacquiao is a top fighter in his prime but when I look at him I see a guy I can hit real easy. I see a guy I can beat. I honestly feel that.’’

That would put Diaz in a very small minority in boxing, for Pacquiao has long been viewed as one of the very best fighters in the world after winning world championships in three weight classes (flyweight, super bantamweight and super featherweight) and beating up so many Mexican fighters he has been labeled the Mexican Assassin by less than pleased Mexican boxing writers.

Meanwhile, Diaz has long been looked upon as the B side in all of his biggest victories dating back to when Judah was the heavy favorite to win a slot on the Olympic team despite Diaz’s 175-16 amateur record. That upset didn’t seem to change many opinions of Diaz and the ones that have followed haven’t either.

By now this might be a bit insulting to some fighters but Diaz long ago outgrew such an outlook. To him, there are only a few people picking against him that would affect how he sees himself or how he sees his chances against even someone like the popular and heavily-favored Filipino.

“It’s the way it’s been for a long time,’’ Diaz said of his constant role as a fistic underdog. “By now you’d think some people would give me a little bit of a chance but that’s all right. The only thing that really matters is when your hand is raised.

“I’m pretty good at blocking out that sort of negative stuff and I stick to that. I’ll do everything possible to be ready. After I beat him maybe we can put a stop to that kind of thinking but I don’t get insulted by it. I really don’t. I don’t care about those people (who say he has no chance against fill in the blank). I don’t talk to them all the time.

“If my wife or my brother said ‘Pacquiao’s going to beat you’ then we got a problem.’’

They are saying no such thing of course. Instead they are holding fast to a faith in Diaz that took a decade to be rewarded but finally was when he came from behind to stop Santa Cruz and win what was then the WBC interim lightweight title. Later he would become the fully recognized champion after Joel Casamayor failed to make weight in a fight with Diego Corrales 14 months ago, and he would get his first big win by outfoxing and outfighting Morales last August to retain a title he was never supposed to have won in the first place.

Now he stands to take another step up boxing’s ladder, one leading to his biggest payday, but one that is supposed to be little more than a well-paid fistic funeral for him. Even Diaz’s promoter, Bob Arum, has said as much.

When Pacquiao barely escaped with a split decision in his rematch with Juan Manuel Marquez there was pressure from a lot of corners for an immediate rubber match. Arum refused, saying there needed to be some “air’’ between Pacquiao and Marquez before they squared off a third time with millions of dollars at stake. The implication was Pacquiao could get such air facing Diaz in a low risk confrontation that would allow him to adjust to fighting at 135 pounds before taking on the more formidable Marquez a third and final time.

This might not have sounded so bad had Arum not been Diaz’s promoter. More than a few boxers would have been mighty peeved at Arum for representing them in such a fashion but Diaz understands Pacquiao fights for Arum too and has produced far more income for him. In the bottom line business of boxing, that’s what makes alliances.

“I understand,’’ Diaz said. “It’s business. Manny is the guy bringing in all the chatter. If you let that offend you it disturbs everything you’re trying to do. You start worrying about the wrong things.

“He gets the filet mignon and I get the New York cut but that’s better than nothing. The important thing is winning the fight. When I beat him I’ll be the guy they’re talking about. Until then, if you take that kind of thing personally you corrupt your heart.’’

That is one thing Diaz will never do because his heart is in large measure his greatest fighting asset. He is not a terrific puncher or the greatest boxer in the division. He is, some will argue, just a journeyman. He would call himself something else.

David Diaz would call himself a professional, which means something in boxing. It means he comes to the arena ready to win and with the intention of bringing bad intentions with him into the ring. He comes with a belief in himself he knows few outside his corner share but which he understands is all that really matters.

Zab Judah had more believers than he did. Santa Cruz had more believers than he did. Morales had more believers than he did. So there is no surprise to learn the same is true with Pacquiao, who most observers think is second only to Floyd Mayweather, Jr. on the mythical pound-for-pound list.

Frankly, Diaz might put him there himself. But that doesn’t mean he won’t arrive in Las Vegas in two months intending to put him on his back.

“What Pacquiao does is make you fight his type of fight,’’ Diaz said. “In my case that’s fine because his type of fight is my type of fight. Pressure, that’s my best offense and my best defense.

“He’s an all-out type of fighter. He throws in volume so I have to match that. Punching power wise I don’t know who’s stronger but my determination will be the difference. This fight means more to me than it does to him.’’

What Diaz believes is that Pacquiao will come to Las Vegas with the same attitude Morales had when he came to Chicago. With fighters like that, fighters who have for so long been among boxing’s elite, there is a natural cockiness, a dismissive way they look at guys who have come up the way Diaz has, which is the hard way.

That does not mean they don’t train for them or that they don’t respect them on some level but there is a clear belief that such an opponent is not really on their level. Many times they are right. Sometimes, as Morales found out, they are not but that knowledge often comes too late.

What Manny Pacquiao thinks of him David Diaz does not know. Nor does he care. All he cares about is that he has two more months to get ready to show him he’s more than the world thinks he is.

“Look, this is a tough fight,’’ Diaz said. “I know Pacquiao can fight. But I don’t know any fighter who doesn’t want to be in this type of fight.

“This is the kind of fight people will talk about long after you’re done and gone. This is the biggest fight of my life. Bigger than when I won the title. Even bigger than beating a legend like Morales because Pacquiao is a guy in his prime. He’s a guy who’s been beating up people in different weight classes. Now I have a title he wants and he’s trying to put me on the mat. It’s one of those fights where you got to prove yourself to yourself.

“That’s really all I care about. Proving to myself what I can do in boxing. Becoming champion at one time was something I didn’t think I’d achieve. I thought maybe I was just another pro. Now I know I can be more than that. I’m not content with what I have.

“I’m finally getting paid what champions get paid. This is a fight where I can set up my kids for college. It’s about making their life better but win this one and next fight maybe I can set up David Diaz.’’

That’s why he’s up every day before dawn running in Chicago’s early morning light. It’s why he leaves the house by mid-morning for the Jab Gym, where he trains for two to three hours. It’s why when he comes home he spends more time thinking about Manny Pacquiao than he does about himself.

Halfway across the country, in a gym in Hollywood, CA. where Manny Pacquiao has begun training, Diaz’s opponent is thinking about many things. Not very often, Diaz believes, is he thinking about him.

That doesn’t insult him either. He’s used to that too. Just like he’s used to leaving the ring after the battle has been fought with a lot of skeptics saying, ‘How’d that happen?’’

“If he saw my fight with Morales he’ll be in shape,’’ Diaz said defiantly. “If not, that’s his fault, not mine. I’m coming to win.’’

Linkin Park is a rock band from Agoura Hills, California. Since their formation in 1996, the band has sold more than fifty million albums and won two Gra mmy Awards.[4][5][6] They achieved mainstream success with their debut album, Hybrid Theory, which was certified Diamond by the

RIAA in 2005.[7] Their following studio album, Meteora, continued the band's success, topping the Billboard 200’s album charts in 2003, and was followed by extensive touring and charity work around the world.[8]
Recognized for their adaptation of the nu metal genre into a radio-friendly yet densely-layered style in Hybrid Theory and Meteora,[9][10] the band moved away from this and explored a variety of other genres in their latest studio album, Minutes to Midnight.[11][12] The album topped the Billboard Charts and had the third best debut week of any album that year.[13][14] They are also known for their several collaborations, most notably with rapper Jay-Z in their mash-up album Collision Course, and many other artists on Reanimation।

My Chemical Romance (often shortened to MCR or My Chem[1]) is an American rock quintet that formed in 2001. The current members of the band are Gerard Way, Mikey Way, Frank Iero, Ray Toro and Bob Bryar. Shortly after forming, the band signed to Eyeball Records and released their debut album I Brought You My Bullets, You Brought Me Your Love in 2002. They signed with Reprise Records the next year and released their major label debut Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge in 2004. The album was a major commercial success, selling over one million copies due in part to the success of the singles "Helena", "I'm Not Okay (I Promise)", and "The Ghost of You". The band followed this success with 2006's The Black Parade, featuring their hit singles, "Welcome to the Black Parade", "Famous Last Words", "I Don't Love You", and "Teenagers". The band also recently filmed a live DVD in Mexico City, which is due for release in early 2008.[2]

Will Kevin Johnson end up like Manny Pacquiao?

2008-04-28T00:25:00.000-07:00

SACRAMENTO, CALIFORNIA—Never mind Manny Pacquiao’s forgettable experience on the hustings.
Opinionated members of the sports glitterati are not content merely endorsing political campaigns.
They’d rather join the wild and wooly world of politics themselves.
The latest world sports celebrity to test the waters is ex-NBA star Kevin Johnson.
Will he end up like Pacquiao, who lost face and oodles of money in a failed attempt to win a congressional seat in South Cotabato?
It will be up to the voters of this state capital come June 3.
Until Johnson declared his candidacy for Sacramento mayor, the incumbent Heather Fargo was expected to win in a romp. Now Heather’s climb to a third term suddenly became stiffer.
Will her honor, the mayor, pull a Darlene Antonino Custodio (who knocked out Pacquiao in the South Cotabato political ring)?
She could, despite Johnson’s star power—which has turned a once obscure mayoral campaign into national news, much like Pacquiao’s ill-fated congressional run attracted so much sports press mileage worldwide.
Unlike Pacquiao’s, Johnson’s campaign surrogates are many and moneyed.
The latest to headline his fundraiser was a former nemesis and the more famous of the National Basketball Association’s Johnson men of long ago—Magic Johnson of the Los Angeles Lakers.
Magic, who clashed with Kevin in many an NBA tussle when the now mayoral candidate was the premier guard of the Phoenix Suns, headlined a getting-to-know-his-namesake party lately.
The tab, $75 per. If the guests wanted a picture with Kevin, it cost $1,150 each.
Like Manny, Kevin is not without cash. He lent his own campaign a cool $500,000. But he would need a lot more dough in an effort to unseat Heather, his chief opponent who has picked up campaign cash and a few high-profile supporters herself.
It will be a test of experience versus youth, celebrity bling versus self-made political luster. Fargo has led the city in the last eight years as it strives to reach the next level.
Sacramento’s mayor is the leader of a city that is the cultural, educational, business and governmental center of a four-county metropolis. The region has become home to a steady stream of new residents, including Filipino-Americans from the nearby San Francisco Bay area.
As California’s capital, Sacramento is at center stage of governmental policy for the entire state—the sixth largest economy in the world.
After his NBA days, Kevin Johnson became a business entrepreneur and urban real state developer like Magic. He is a genuine homegrown celebrity, having been born and bred in the city’s tough Oak Park neighborhood.
Johnson’s political leaders say the relationships their candidate has created throughout the United States as an NBA star and businessman will benefit Sacramento.
Meantime, Fargo, a former state employee who became the city’s first full-time mayor after an amendment to the city charter in 2002, is taken aback. She said running against a celebrity is different.
She told the Sacramento Bee, the Pulitzer Prize-winning local newspaper, that Johnson is “not expected to know the answers; he's not asked as tough questions. Obviously he has a lot more financial resources. He does not have to worry about campaign limits… On the upside, it also brings a lot of attention to the campaign. More people know there’s a mayor’s race in town than would have otherwise.”
Fargo has kept on baiting Johnson into debating her on the issues confronting the capital city. So far, Johnson has agreed to participate in one debate, a 90-minute forum with him and the other candidates.
Since announcing his candidacy last month, life on the campaign trail has considerably become nastier for Johnson. Already, he had to go to the media to belie allegations of sexual misconduct with teenage girls in Phoenix and Sacramento.
This after one of the candidates, bounty hunter and bail bondsman Leonard Padilla, released a police report on the Phoenix case to the Sacramento press.
