Expanding The Lorenzo's Land

Jorge Lorenzo, former 250cc (now Moto2) World Champion, is now competing at MotoGP class with Factory Yamaha team. He is also Valentino Rossi's rival and teammate. Since his debut in MotoGP class in 2008 until GP Catalunya this year, Jorge Lorenzo has won 10 races.

Jorge Lorenzo has a unique way to celebrate his victory in every race. He usually brings a black flag with a logo of a circle around "X" mark. In the bottom of the flag there is a writing of "Lorenzo's Land".


He then stick the flag to the gravel area of the circuit, to illustrate "the conquests of Lorenzo" and shows that the track has become on of the "Lorenzo's Land".

Jorge Lorenzo, now 23-year-old, also launched his comic book with the same title, "Lorenzo's Land", with his native language, Spanish.

With the incident that happened to Valentino Rossi, made him absent for some races, Lorenzo was predicted will dominate this season of MotoGp. From the first 7 series being held, he won five of them, with consecutively for the last three races. I guess he still eager to conquer more area to become his land.

Pop star Jennifer Lopez cancels north Cyprus show

Singer Jennifer Lopez has put the kibosh on a show in the Turkish-controlled north of Cyprus. The performance came under fire from Greek Cypriots, who started an online campaign calling for the gig to be canceled.
"Jennifer Lopez would never knowingly support any state, country, institution or regime that was associated with any form of human rights abuse," a statement on Lopez's website said.
"After a full review of the relevant circumstances in Cyprus, it was the decision of her advisors to withdraw from the appearance. This was a team decision that reflects our sensitivity to the political realities of the region."


Lopez, her husband singer Marc Anthony and their two children were due to stay at the Cratos Premium Hotel, located in a region where thousands of Greek Cypriots were displaced from in 1974. She was booked to perform there on July 24.
The gig, scheduled for J.Lo's 41st birthday, reportedly would've come with a $3-million paycheck. Apparently, as Beyoncé may have learned after playing a little New Year's Eve gig in St. Barth's for a son of Moammar Kadafi, not every multimillion-dollar paycheck is worth it the hassle.

Michael Jordan New Ads with Hitler's Mustache

Although has been retired for several years, Michael Jordan still a popular brand to sale, and many products want to use him in their ads campaign. Recently Hanes launched a new men's underwear clothing, and used the former NBA superstar in their ads.

What started a little bit of controversy around Jordan's fans was his appearance on that ads, where he grew a mustache like Hitler's. They know that Jordan can't be a Hitler's admirer, but they just curious why he did such thing?

Some celebrities and former NBA players have a joke about this one.


Actor Jay Mohr wrote on her Twitter account to boycott Jordan's product until he get rid of his silly mustache. In Jimmy Kimmel Live, Aston Kutcher said that Jordan's mustache looks like the German's dictator, while Kimmel prefer to mentioned it looks like Charlie Chaplin.

While Michael Jordan ex-rival, Charles Barkley said that Jordan's appearance was stupid, because Jordan always became a trendsetter since his glory days as basketball legend. It was Jordan who popularized bald hair-cut in NBA, he also the one who started to using a long pants in the NBA.

After retirement, I guessed Jordan's fashion sense is kinda dull.

Ow Crap! David Villa's Goal Saves Larissa Riquelme from Stripping

Paraguay was defeated by Spain by 1-0 in last night 2010 World Cup quarter-final in a very dramatic match. I don't know to whom I must get angry for, David Villa who scored the only Spain goal, or to Oscar Cardozo who failed to executed penalty kick for Paraguay earlier in the match.

What I do know those moments in the game ruined my dream to watch Larissa Riquelme running naked in Asuncion.

Larissa Riquelme is a famous lingerie model in Paraguay. During this World Cup she attracted many attention from football fans, because every time she supported Paraguayan national team, she always wore a sexy dress that shows her beautiful cleavage.

Not enough with that, Larissa Riquelme also has pledged to run naked through the streets of Asuncion if Paraguay wins the World Cup. The 24-year-old model said that she will linger around the street "with her body painted with the colors of Paraguay."

She is heartbroken like we all are

Now, with Paraguay defeated, she has a heartbreak, so am I. But at least I still can be grateful because in the earlier match Argentina was defeated by Germany by 4-0. Why? Because this way I don't have to watch Diego Maradona running naked in the street of Buenos Aires. Yes, actually Riquelme pledge was inspired by Maradona that made the same promise if Argentina can win the World Cup.
