man with the golden voice 300x233 The Man With the Golden Voice

For the last couple days, Ted Williams has put the Man with the Golden Gun to shame.

Until Reddit caught wind of his story from a YouTube video a couple of days ago, Ted Williams was an Ohio homeless man who was down on his luck. Like the most successful panhandlers, he had a talent that made his requests for an extra buck that made him unique: he had a professional, radio-quality voice that he would happily demonstrate for passing motorists in Columbus, Ohio. Williams is a New York native that actually trained to become a radio DJ as early as college, but he ended homeless after troubles with drugs and alcohol (though he claims now to be two years sober). The Man with the Golden Voice video was viewed millions of times in the course of hours, and once it went viral, media outlets and radio stations inundated him with job offers. He finally settled on a generous offer from the Cleveland Cavaliers: they offered to buy Mr. Williams a new home and employ him as an announcer for one of their radio shows. It’s too bad that more men and women don’t get the same windfall of a second chance that Ted Williams got, but it’s undeniably uplifting to see the resources of so many people on the internet put to good use.

peter postlethwaite 300x243 Peter Postlethwaite, Actor, Dies at 64

Postlethwaite made something great even out of minor roles, such as his menacing turn as a gangland florist in "The Town".

As far as well-known and recognizable character actors go, Peter Postlethwaite had a look and talent that was incredibly memorable. The British-born actor surely endured many encounters in real life of the “Hey, you’re that guy from that thing” variety, but he also had a varied and illustrious career. He died in Shropshire, England on Sunday, making his passing the first well-known celebrity death of 2011. Other than that grim distinction, Postlethwaite will be best remembered for his roles in big budget flicks such as Amistad, The Lost World, Inception, Romeo + Juliet and most recently The Town. With his imposing face and deep voice, Postlethwaite was most well-known for playing tough guys and criminals, a man not to be trifled with. Steven Spielberg once called him “the best actor in the world,” but his only moment Academy approval came in 1993 when he was nominated for a best supporting actor Oscar for his role as Daniel Day Lewis’ father in the aptly named In the Name of the Father. Postlethwaite had been fighting cancer for several years.

rex ryan wife 300x208 Rex Ryan, Wife Alleged Foot Fetish Videos

Is this woman Rex Ryan's wife, and did they film foot fetish videos together?

The scalawag sports journalists over at Deadspin continue to air all of their unpublished, dirty laundry from 2010 with this delightful story about a woman who looks very much like Rex Ryan’s wife in a series of YouTube videos with titles like “Hot Mature Sexy Feet” under the account “ihaveprettyfeet”. The woman in the videos looks eerily similar to Coach Ryan’s wife, and Deadspin also posted several other corroborating facts that they gleaned from an  alt.com account that was linked to the YouTube page, such as similar birth dates and other contextual clues, that seem to very heavily suggest that the woman in the video is who they say she is. Of course, Rex has refused to confirm or deny the claims, despite being featured on the front page of the New York Post this morning. The videos all date back to the period before Ryan became the Jets coach and a figure in the national media scene. Even if it is the football coach and his wife, Michelle, it should be noted that they seem to legitimately love each other. If they want to express their love in quirky little foot fetish videos on the internet, good for them! There are people out there on the interwebs with far worse hobbies, to be sure.

your majesty green band 300x231 Your Highness Green Band Trailer, Natalie Portmans Butt

Who needs the holy grail, anyway?

David Gordon Greene truly is the king of kings for getting Natalie Portman’s scantily clad booty so prominently featured in his new flick Your Majesty, starring James Franco and Danny McBride. What? Wes Anderson already gave us Portman’s but fully naked? Why wasn’t that national news? Stupid liberal media. Anyway, the talented threesome hope to put the tired fantasy genre on its scaly dragon head by throwing in more modern zingers and plenty of sex jokes, dirty language, and hopefully as much half-naked Portman as possible. Franco and McBride created some pretty sweet chemistry in Pineapple Express, so here’s hoping that this one turns out to be fun. If you hate fantasy movies but still want to give this one a chance when it finally comes out, just watch the ending of the final Lord of the Ring movie; anything is better than a soppy hobbit love note that lasts forty-five minutes longer than it should have.

candice crawford 239x300 Candice Crawford Engaged to Tony Romo

Candice Crawford is engaged to Tony Romo; Texas rejoices.

Five scant reasons why Candice Crawford, former Miss Missouri, and her recent engagement deserve a brief mention on a blog normally dedicated to video games and movie ephemera:

  1. As a bubbly blond and former beauty queen, her news-worthiness affords an easy reason to link to the infamous Miss South Carolina–easy entertainment for a Friday.
  2. She fits in quite well in regard to Romo’s typical dating pattern of ditzy, towheaded celebrities (how far have ye fallen, Jessica Simpson).
  3. Their engagement continues, in some small way, America’s tired cultural cipher of the pretty beauty queen falling in love with the handsome Texas quarterback.
  4. It allows Dallas Cowboys-haters to relish the pitiful, embarrassing spectacle that was this year’s season, and secretly hope for Romo to let this marriage slip through his fingers like a game-tying field goal hold.
  5. No new movie trailers until later in the day.

From all of us here at Break, we wish the couple nothing but health, happiness, and another crappy Cowboys season. Mozel tov!

miley cyrus bong salvia Miley Cyrus Takes Bong Rips of Salvia

Miley Cyrus takes a bong rip, alters the course of history. Photo credit: TMZ, in case you couldn't tell.

Stop the presses, newly legal pop superstar and acting ingenue Miley Cyrus tried drugs! As a young celebrity, it was only a matter of time before she did something that millions of teenagers do every day so that bloggers could do their part in taking this relatively meaningless occurrence and blowing it completely out of proportion. We thank her! Rumor mill juggernaut TMZ acquired cell phone footage of the Disney star smoking out of a bong five days or so after her eighteenth birthday. She supposedly smokes the legal, yet highly hallucinogenic, substance called salvia, rather than the usual marijuana that most normal people smoke out of bongs. She professes that she “might be having a bad trip”, and her highly supportive friend filming the affair informs her with confidence that she will “sh*t when you see this”, this referring to the footage of the event. It’s all highly salacious and totally newsworthy, much more so than any of that boring news about Wikileaks leader Julian Assange being prosecuted on espionage charges or the heated criticism of President Obama’s tax deals with Republicans. Celebrity drug scandals are what matter in life, people.

kat dennings 300x205 Kat Dennings Nude Pic

Kat Dennings, star of "Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist" sexted a rather tasteful nude pic that has surfaced on the interwebs.

Ahh, don’t you love the smell of sexting scandals in the morning? There are few ways that this Friday morning could start off any sweeter than with the news of a cellphone capture of Kat Dennings nude surfacing on the net. Sexting pics are catnip to bloggers, and Ms. Dennings’ entry into the genre is surprisingly tasteful. We can’t link it here, obviously, but those motivated individuals should be able to find it fairly easily. Dennings is best known for starring opposite Hollywood-standard supergeek Michael Cera in “Nick and Norah’s Infinite Playlist”, which came out two years ago. Was her pic thrown to the rabid masses of the internet by a jealous lover, or is this a canny self-promotion technique? It’s very hard to tell anymore. Check out this quick clip of the very cute Kat Dennings in her big movie debut over at Break.
