Wade and Shaq Will Be Fine

By
I was watching ESPN this weekend and the talk was about the Miami Heat and Dwyane Wade's comments about Shaq's recent play. Someone thought it would lead to the teammate conflict reminiscent of Shaq and Kobe (with the LA Lakers) or Shaq and Penny (Orlando Magic).

Well, even with the related story that Shaq's OK with what Wade said, there's the obvious: Wade isn't Penny or Kobe. Penny was a guy who once thought he could average 40pts/game (something even Michael Jordan thought was a difficult task in today's NBA) despite being injury-prone. Kobe wasn't patient enough to inherit the title of team leader form Shaq, and now that he has it, is basically begging for help (like a big man who could score in the post, block shots and clog the middle).

Wade's definitely the most humble of the three, and probably the most durable. Plus (and this is important) he has Shaq's respect. If this team fails to make some noise, it would be because of a Wade-Shaq beef.

For being DC Comic's most recognizable female character, WW has been given the cinematic shaft for a long time. We've seen two incarnations of Lois Lane and countless Bat-groupies, but not one decent pitch for the Amazon in the big screen. And we're talking about a character who made armored underwear cool waaay before anyone heard of Princess Leia. So here's one humble man's suggestion for any future casting of the Wonder Woman movie. I really have three rules for casting: she has to be at least 5'10", under 45 and attractive enough to pass for a princess. Sandrine Holt - Age: 36, Height: 5'10", Relevant Movie/TV Roles: Resident Evil: Apocalypse & Mutant X Pros : She's played both a (doomed) reporter and a person with superpowers, so if she can play both, she's a shoe-in. Plus she's probably the least-known actress on this list, so they can two movies out of her cheap. Cons : While D.C. isn't as star-crazy as Marvel when it co

Being the avid movie watcher that I am, I've noticed that more than one talented actress has been passed over for other talent. And by "talent," I mean, "sex tapes that 'accidentally' made it to the Internet." Well, here's one man's humble attempt to rectify the situation. The following ladies are not only talented, but beautiful. Hollywood: get off your ass and give these women more roles. DANIELLE FISHEL Noticeable TV/Movie Appearances: Boy Meets World; both National Lampoon's Dorm Dazes The delightful Ms. Fishel has the distinction of having the weirdest named ever associated with a smart-yet-hot character (or maybe I'm the only one who has a problem saying "Topanga!" whilst in the throes of passion) as well as participating in the death of the National Lampoon Series (I personally thought it died with Chevy Chase's career; who knew?). If you were to use her IMBD page as a reference, the only real fault people seem to hav
