Jonah Hill, James Franco & further: Seth Rogen confirms 'Apocalypse' Cast

Jonah Hill, James Franco & further: Seth Rogen confirms 'Apocalypse' Cast:Whenever we have a chance to catch up with Seth Rogen is a good time, if only to hear her laugh adorable. Better yet, when the discussion is at hand for his excellent upcoming film "50/50" and long in development survival horror comedy "Jay and Seth vs. The Apocalypse," Regarding the latter, the last we heard, the shooting will begin in February, we asked Rogen to clarify exactly what the well-known actors have officially signed on the project, because it seems that the cast has changed since the project been announced. “We’ve decided to add more people, so ideally 'Jay and Seth' looks like it has become Jay, Seth, Jonah, Danny, Craig and James," Rogen revealed. That's Baruchel, Rogen, Hill, McBride, Robinson and Franco, by the way. "We all play ourselves," he added.When we brought up another rumored addition, "Harry Potter" star Daniel Radcliffe, Rogen said they might have amped up the role a little too much for Radcliffe's tastes. "It does not look like he is ready to push things as far as we [are]," said Rogen that laugh of his catchy. This means that all the guys want to do is really push the envelope, given Radcliffe is well received and that's R-rated in the "Extras" and others. Baruchel, but said they wanted the film to be offensive, so it may be a safe choice for the D-Rad at this stage of his career. "There will be a very aggressive vision of the Apocalypse," he said once. "And I want a lot of dead famous apparitions. Because LA is full of famous people, I want all appearances to be as equals. "Perhaps Radcliffe does not want to play a version of him dead? Jonah Hill, James Franco & further: Seth Rogen confirms 'Apocalypse' Cast.

Miami Hurricanes and Ohio St Buckeyes College Football Betting Predictions

Miami Hurricanes and Ohio St Buckeyes College Football Betting Predictions: A lot of the luster was taken off this match-up by some off the field issues for both teams that led to suspensions of key players on both sides. In fact, some people are sarcastically calling this the “Ineligi-Bowl.” Ohio St has definitely been hit the hardest by the scandals so far as former coach Jim Tressel was forced to resign and quarterback Terrelle Pryor left the program when additional violations surfaced that would have cost him his eligibility. Both were originally suspended for the first 5 games of this season along with several other key Buckeye players. Miami has their own problems as former booster Nevin Shapiro, a convicted felon, admitted he gave improper benefits to Hurricane players since the early ’90′s, including to 8 current Miami players. The university and the NCAA gave the 8 players staggered suspensions. Five players were suspended for the season opener against Maryland, including quarterbacks Jacory Harris, but will return this week after the Hurricanes had a bye last week. Four other Hurricane players are suspended until at least October. Ohio St, under interim coach Luke Fickell, has weathered the storm so far with 2 wins over Akron 42-0 and Toledo 27-22. Now the #17 Buckeyes go on the road for the first time as the take on the 0-1 Hurricanes. Miami, under first year coach Al Golden, lost 32-24 at Maryland to open the season. Ohio St and Miami are playing for the 5th time in history. Ohio St leads the series officially 2-1 as last year’s 36-24 win in Columbus was vacated by the university. The two schools played a memorable game in the 2003 National Championship with Ohio St winning 31-24 in double overtime. Coming into last week’s game against the Toledo Rockets, Ohio St hadn’t lost to another team from Ohio since 1921. That streak almost came to a crashing halt as Toledo took a 22-21 lead early in the fourth quarter. The Buckeyes scored with 3:17 to go and then held the Rockets to avoid the upset and survive 27-22. The Buckeyes had only 301 total yards including 112 rushing yards. They had 17 first downs and were 3/13 on third and fourth downs. Ohio St held Toledo to 338 total yards including 46 rushing yards. The Rockets had 14 penalties and a turnover and still almost pulled off the upset. Toledo had 16 first downs and was 6/21 on third and fourth down conversions. Ohio St is averaging 409 total yards and 34.5 points a game. The Buckeyes are averaging 241 passing yards a game. Ohio St has 2 turnovers and no sacks. The Buckeyes are 12/30 on third and fourth down conversions. Ohio St is 0/2 on field goals this year. The Buckeyes are allowing 214 yards a game on defense and 11 points. They are allowing only 40.5 rushing yards a game. They have forced 2 turnovers and 9 sacks a game. Buckeye opponents are 9/35 on third and fourth down conversions. Buckeye quarterback Joe Bauserman has done well this season. He is 28/46 passing with 352 passing yards, 4 touchdowns, and no interceptions. He also has 8 carries for 39 yards and a touchdown. Running back Carlos Hyde 39 carries for 169 yards, and 2 touchdowns, along with 5 catches for 39 yards. Rod Smith has 25 carries for 98 yards and a touchdown. Receiver Devin Smith has 5 catches for 119 yards and a touchdown. Jake Stoneburner had 8 catches for 93 yards and 4 touchdowns. Kicker Drew Basil is 9/9 on extra points but 0/2 on field goals. Three Buckeye players return from a 2 game suspensions for this game including OL Corey Linsley, RB Jordan Hall, and DB Travis Howard. However, Rb Dan Herron, WR Devier Posey, OL Mike Adams, and DE Solomon Thomas won’t return until October 8. Despite the suspensions Miami took a 24-23 lead with 4 minutes to go in the game against Maryland. Maryland scored 9 points in the last 1:39 of the game to win 32-24. Miami had 367 total yards including 172 rushing yards. Ten penalties and 4 turnovers doomed the Hurricanes, including two defensive touchdowns. The last one occurred with 39 second left, a 54 yard interception return, allowed Maryland to cover the 4 point college football betting line. Miami had 18 first downs and was 7/16 on third and fourth down conversions. The Hurricanes allowed 499 total yards including 348 passing yards. Maryland had 28 first downs and was 8/16 on third and fourth down conversions. Quarterback Stephen Morris struggled as he replaced the suspended Jacory Harris. Morris was 19/28 passing with 195 yards and 2 interceptions with no touchdowns. He did have a rushing touchdown though. Harris returns for this game. Harris threw for 1,793 yards, 14 touchdowns and 15 interceptions, and added 2 rushing touchdowns as well last year. Running back Lamar Miller had 18 carries for 119 yards and a touchdown, along with 2 catches for 3 yards. Mike James had only 34 yards rushing but did have a rushing touchdown.  Allen Hurns and Tommy Streeter each had 4 catches for the Hurricanes. Kicker Jake Wieclaw made all 3 extra points he tried along with a 30 yard field goal. Miami is 0-1 against the spread and the game went over the total. Ohio St is 1-1 ATS this season and both games went under. Ohio St is 18-6 ATS on Saturday in the last 3 seasons, 15-5 ATS with 6 days of rest in the same span, and 10-2 ATS in non-conference games in the last 3 seasons. The Buckeyes are 11-3 ATS in all games the last two seasons, including 9-1 on grass. Miami is 1-4 ATS in the last 5 as a favorite, as a favorite of less than 3 points, against a team with a winning record, in con-conference games, against Big Ten teams, and 1-5 in the last 6 on grass. Miami is 3-12 ATS in the last 15 games after a bye week. We don’t know how these teams will deal with the suspensions. Miami shot themselves in the foot two weeks ago with penalties and turnovers but should be better as they get 5 players back from suspension. Ohio St almost stumbled against Toledo last week. This should be a close game, but I think Miami pulls it out at the end. Take it to the bank, our college football handicappers are the best in the business.

Jackie Evancho


Jackie Evancho: We said that the last time Jackie Evance publicly perform, is the Oprah Winfrey goodbye: It 's hard to see how a great (and shiny), a voice coming from as a child. 12-year-old Ronan was the subject of rumors this week that he had been treated by "creator BGT Simon Cowell before the next show. Jackie, runner-up of" America's Got Talent "last year, he sang what would become her signature "Nessun Dorma" Saturday "BGT" final.Embedding is disabled, but you can watch her here. We'll say it again after watching the 11-year-old sing on Saturday's (June 4) finale of "Britain's Got Talent It's incredible. The show ended with a surprise victory, only 24, singer Ronan Jai McDowall starred Parke defeated by a narrow margin (2.5 percentage points). Both have vehemently denied the rumors, and Cowell is considering a lawsuit. Ronan probably need not worry too much about the loss, however. Finishing second seems to have worked pretty well for Jackie Evancho.Jackie Evancho

Elizabeth Edwards


Elizabeth Edwards: John Edwards did everything they could to hide his affair with Rielle Hunter "and out-of child out of wedlock as a result" when he ran as president in 2008. In fact, the politician reportedly went so far as to use campaign funds to help keep the scandal quiet. Now a federal grand jury has charged Edwards with violations of the laws on campaign financing. He was indicted Friday in North Carolina on six counts, including conspiracy, four counts of illegal campaign contributions and one count of false statements. He is expected to appear in a Winston Salem Middle District Courthouse this afternoon. Edwards admits that he used the funds to hide the affair, but he maintains that he did so to keep it from his wife, Elizabeth Edwards not to help his bid for presidency. The former North Carolina senator, 57, received money to silence his lover and his former aide Andrew Young, during the scandal. Young has even claimed that he was the father of the Queen and his daughter, now 3 years Hunter Edwards, but Edwards finally clean in January 2010.The government’s theory is wrong on the facts and wrong on the law," Greg Craig, one of Edwards' lawyers, said in a statement last week. "John Edwards has done wrong in his life and he knows it better than anyone, but he did not break the law." Edwards was given the chance to reach a plea agreement, but he chose to fight the charges instead. Elizabeth Edwards was by her husband during the campaign, but the couple eventually split in January 2010. Elizabeth lost her battle with cancer six years in December. She and John were married for 33 years and have four children together.


Jack Kevorkian

 Jack Kevorkian Dr. Jack Kevorkian, the controversial assisted suicide advocate, has died at a Detroit-area hospital at the age of 83. He said that nurses who preferred classical music plays Kevorkian, Johann Sebastian Bach, before his death, "reports AP. Kevorkian's attorney and friend, Mayer Morganroth, told The Associated Press that he died early Friday morning at William Beaumont Hospital in Royal Oak, where Kevorkian had been hospitalized for kidney and respiratory problems. Kevorkian, an advocate of "right to die" legislation, dubbed "Dr Death" after a number of assisted suicides in the 1990's. The official cause of death Kevorkian is not yet known.He was released from a Michigan prison in 2007 after serving eight years of a 10 to 15-year sentence for second-degree murder. (Kevorkian was acquitted in three earlier trials; a fourth ended in a mistrial. In the 1999 case, Kevorkian administered a deadly combination of drugs to Thomas Youk, who was suffering from Lou Gehrig's disease, the devastating neurodegenerative disease that can lead to paralysis. He was captured on video and broadcast on "60 Minutes." This is not necessarily murder, "Kevorkian said Mike Wallace, in an interview." But I do not mind if you give it. I know what it is. Kevorkian, who was trained as a pathologist, but stripped of his medical license, admitted to being present in at least 130 suicides of terminally ill patients between 1990 and 1999.He also developed a suicide machine, which according to WIRED, was essentially an automated drip hooked up to an IV needle that patients could personally trigger. Many groups and individuals were vehement in their opposition to Kevorkian and his views. In 1995, the American Medical Association called him a "reckless instrument of death" who "poses a great threat to the public," The New York Times reports. But others hailed Kevorkian as a hero. I think that Dr. Kevorkian was a man who tried to humanity, "said Frank Kavanaugh, a member of the Board of Directors of the Final Exit Network, a nonprofit organization and the right to die." It was a very controversial figure, but I think even the critics agree that, because hospice is really exploded in the United States. Kevorkian lawyer told the Detroit Free Press who was present at the time of his death, as was his nephew. It 'been peaceful, "he says." He did not feel anything. "

Egypt military struggle to find a place with young people


Today News Egypt military struggle to find a place with young people: Military of Egypt was famous for his stance during the revolt that toppled President Hosni Mubarak. But when a general recounted his participation in more than 1,000 people, including several in the crowd showed they were not willing to accept any fanfare.

"What would have happened if the army when he went to the street, has not made the right decision?" Asked the general to the conference on Wednesday, referring to his decision not to take action against protesters who toppled Mubarak in February.

"Libya! Syria!" the crowd shouted approval of the members who packed the room in the building of the military theater.

And then someone shouted: "It would not have been your right to attack us!" Others then stood up and started chanting: "We want a constitution, now!"
The event was billed as the first public meeting between members of the Egypt's ruling body, the Supreme Council of the Armed Forces, and the young people of the rebellion.

The generals were reduced to pleading with the crowd to remain quiet -- a role they were clearly unused to.

Even as they promised a transition to civilian rule, one general lost his temper and shouted: "When I speak, you listen!"


It was held after the generals found themselves under fire for alleged abuses, with several youth groups announcing a boycott of the meeting in protest at military trials for civilians and because they said the conference lacked substance.

Several dozen held a protest outside the theatre building.

Most of the crowd, however, was clearly sympathetic to the military, offering profuse applause, but a sizeable contingent repeatedly heckled the generals over alleged abuses.

One of the latest accusation came after the American broadcaster CNN reported that a general admitted that soldiers had forced women, arrested during a March 9 protest, to undergo virginity tests. The military has denied the report.
Long confined to barracks, the "top brass" now appears to be struggling as it tries to steer a post-revolutionary country of 80 million people to a parliamentary election in September.

It has also been criticised for summoning journalists over their reporting.


The generals, who appear genuinely earnest, often appear on talk shows and publish their statements on Facebook, one of the networking tools activists used to topple Mubarak.

But such is the growing mistrust between activists of a seemingly well-intentioned security last week that the military avoided a demonstration has been interpreted by some activists as a veiled threat that it would allow thugs to attack protesters.
