Frasier star David Hyde Pierce faced tough questions during an appearance Thursday on the US talk show "The View" for allegedly trying to cover-up the fact that he had a piercing in his belly-button. "I won't show it," said Pierce "I, David, am not trying to hide my piercing, but it is my business and that is how it will remain."
US cable news channel MSNBC in under mounting pressure to accept the so-called "two-state solution" to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Thus far, the station has pursued a policy designed to dodge or ignore the matter. In line with that policy, hosts such as Keith Olbermann (of Countdown) or Rachel Maddow (of the Rachel Maddow Show) feature no stories whatsoever on the subject - Thursday's meeting between President Obama and Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas was the latest example of the coverage blackout, designed to deflect attention away from the "two-state solution" and instead re-direct attention towards pre-approved topics such as GOP-bashing or Dick Cheney.
Countdown host Keith Olbermann appeared pensive on the subject when asked to comment, stating "I just can't talk about that." However, when pressed, he added "Yesterday, we had to accomodate the 'natural growth' of the Sonia Sotomayor story, and leave lots of space in case Eric Cantor said something silly, so that is maybe why that subject got bumped."
UPDATE: MSNBC has started to cover the Israeli-Palestinian conflict in more depth.
Robert Scorca is a member of the Miami Ultras and has missed maybe one or two Miami FC games since the team started. He was also a devote Miami Fusion fan and was broken hearted when the Barcelona Miami bid for MLS fell apart. But one thing that many might not know about him is his love of the Honduran National team.
Robert was recently interviewed by the Honduran newspaper site Diario DIEZ in an article titled "Robert Scorca, apasionadopor la Bicolor". Here is a little I translated:
Robert Scorca is a 53 year old American who has followed the Honduran national team since 2003, his love of Honduras is thanks to the Miami Fusion. “Alex PinedaChacón, played for the Fusion he is my friend and is a humble person, he keeps in touch with me. Since then I started to identify with Honduras and I am always following what they do and when they come here. I consider myself a Honduran" Robert says is best friend is "Samuel Caballero, too bad he was not called to the team this time. But I can't just name one player because they all say hello to me when they see me."
Many Honduran Soccer Fans left over 30 comments, most think Robert is a U.S. spy! Here are a few:
Carlos says: "As a Honduran we should learn, many are against the national team, this man from another country follows this team with his heart... Thanks for supporting Honduras..."
Albertini writes: "Ok, I hope you are not a spy!"
Catrachito: "Wow! How I envy him with all those cards of players, right when I was wondering how I could obtain posters of our warriors. I'd love to have a huge poster of our national team with Costly, Pavon, Suazo, Palacios, Guevara, Valladares etc. VERY WELL DONE Mr. Scorca!"
LUIS: "He is a great person I met him at many Honduras games here in Miami. he knows more about the national team then most Hondurans."
Noemi: "For those that say Robert is a spy, don't say things that are not true, you should learn from him and support our national team with your heart. Keep it up Robert!"
Note: Some Honduran fans have even started a campaign to help Robert finance his trip to watch the U.S. vs Honduras match to take place in Chicago on June 6.

If you see Robert at the next Miami FC game let him know he is famous and buy him a beer! Hell, buy me a beer too!
This week I had everything planned out... I was going to write about the Watch party at Fritz and Franz this past Saturday which ended in a 0-0 tie between Miami FC and the Minnesota Thunder. Read more here. But at the last minute I didn't go.
Then I was going to write about the Open Cup draw that will see Miami FC play vs Lynch’s FC of Jacksonville at Tropical Park on Tuesday June 9, 2009 at 8pm and then I saw the Miami Ultras site already wrote about it. Read it here
Unfortunately I don't have the brilliant creative genius that Burrito has so I decided instead to bring you Miami FC player pictures courtesy of Robert Scorca. Enjoy!
The long-standing feud between "My Two Dads" star Greg Evigan and Star Trek actor Jonathan Frakes took another twist today as Evigan lambasted Frakes' acting abilities, even claiming that the actor had stolen a role meant for him. "I should have been Riker," said Evigan, referencing the character of Commander William Riker, portrayed by rival beard-wearer Jonathan Frakes in the series Star Trek: The Next Generation.
In an interview with Newsifact, Evigan lambasted Frakes, claiming "He only grew that beard after he saw mine. He became Riker, but I was Riker! There was this jealousy from him ever since he came to Hollywood. It is almost as if he was threatened by me, so he decided to solve that by becoming me and stealing the role of Riker, which I believed I was destined for." Evigan also insisted that he would have made a far better Riker, stating "When you look at what he did with that role - the way he wasted that beard - it makes me sick. If I had played Riker, that series would be regarded as a classic today."
When asked for a response, actor Jonathan Frakes dismissed the accusations, "That is typical Evigan - blame my beard instead of his own."
Universal Studios have been on the defensive after the release of their latest film "Columbo" based on the iconic 1970s detective series that starred Peter Falk. Critics have labelled the film "a travesty" and "pathetic" whilst Columbo fans have decried what they view as "stunningly patronising and childish" changes to the format. Indeed, those changes have been quite pronounced - the non-violent, non-gun-using, intelligent one-on-one verbal sparring of the 1970s series has been replaced with action, explosions, guns and lots of women for the detective. In one scene, Segal, in bed with a young woman even says "Have you ever seen my wife? Exactly, baby!"

However, Universal Pictures have defended the film, declaring in an official statement that "The original format was dated and not conducive to the demands of a modern-day young audience. Certain changes were made to bring the iconic detective up-to-date. We are convinced that audiences will embrace Steven Segal's wonderful take on Columbo." In other words, audiences appear to be far stupider today, or at least the studios think they are.
After years of his party being in exile, the leader of the British Conservative Party David Cameron no doubt wants to be seen as the young, new face of change. But for some reason, he just looks like he should be bald (or will be - or is fighting against it with expensive lotions). Would people then suddenly see the archetypal bald, white, Eton-educated, posh Tory and not vote for him? Just a thought.
Former US vice-president Al Gore has warned troubled singer Amy Winehouse that she is about to reach a dangerous tipping point. "It won't be long now before she starts to look worse than Elizabeth Taylor, and she is 77 years-old! Winehouse still has time to turn things around, but she must act soon."
A representative for the singer dismissed the claims stating that "Alcohol, cigarettes and pills have and will continue to sucessfully fuel Amy in the future. There is no reason to change that; we have our own doctors, and they agree that the evidence about Ms Winehouse's health isn't conclusive."
George Lucas has again infuriated Star Wars fans with new Blu-Ray releases of the original, non-enhanced versions of Star Wars, The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi. For years, fans have lobbied Lucas to release a high-quality version of his original trilogy, instead of the controversially altered versions released in 1997. However, excited fans expecting to finally see their much-campaigned-for releases have been outraged to find that the new discs contain a huge image of George Lucas's ass superimposed over the film.
Lucas has defended the decision, saying "I feel that the choice was a correct way to show my appreciation to the fans."
Ray Ban is cool, Oakley is cool. But Groove Shades are defenetly not cool. Have you ever seen this silly "shades"? Absolut ugly. And only the fact, that mr. kanye west wear them, should not let you have the idea, to buy some of this supercool plastic "shades". They let you look like a f***ing clown. Did you recognized that? Take the money, and burn it, instead buying such crap. That makes defenetly more sense.
According to C21 media Fox has indeed renewed Futurama. The author of the article has confirmed that "The studio is making more episodes for DVD sales."

Did all you vatos see Miami FC vs los pinches Charleston Batterys on USL Live? (Click on highlighted words if you don't know the meaning) Primero the stupids thing dont work! Too many problemas with USL live... and is true Burrito steal wireless internet (and laptop) from the neighbor pero still, the connection Burrito half say buffering all the time and Burrito see only parts of game. Then Burrito see how Miami play ok game and then Zinho put in Paulo Araujo and team fall apart! The Blues lose possessions of their balls and then las putas Batterys score on stupids dead balls goal by some guy name Spicer? Yisus! Miami FC almost have no outside shots! Someone take shots peoples!
How can Miami FC stop losing games? Chingada madre! Burrito tired off losing so mucho! Time 4 Burrito to come outs of retiro and play again! Burrito going to play as centro delantero and score like he score with all the hot mamacitas in Miami! Time to wears the Blues shirts with pride and huevos! If Miami FC Blues players no play with huevos then we continue to "lose" like Burrito "lose" underwears one time when swimming in rivers back in Mexico!
Here is what Burrito think of team:Goalkeeper Hannigan is doing good. Goals not his fault(see defense)
Defense: Is shaky like when Burrito see hot mamacita and want to ax her out! Burrito disappointed with Facundo Erpen. Something missing there and Burrito no no what! Pero the good thing is Beowulf Kirby! He solid and play well, pero he no play in Charleston? Porque? Burrito also like Ramirez who might be fasterer then Burrito when he hear someone yell "Police"! Only thing about Walter is his bad centers but Burrito hope he get better soon or else Burrito call Police on him! "Z" also no play this game he have minutes he play good and minutes he play bad, pero Burrito like the name "Z", reminds him of zorro!
Midfield:Burrito think time to making changes in middle! Blues need to bench Miranda and Pulido, sorry carnales pero you not doing it in middle, time to give chance to Bueso, Traynor, Goldberg, anyone por el amor de Dios! Burrito think team play good with ball on ground. Time to dominates the mid and create opportunity's up front. Leo Inacio need help. We need general in middle! Forwards: Now we see all forwards and none can make gol! If Serna stop getting red he may be only one who play with huevos out there pero one player no make team! Marcina weak and only score one gol. Alcantara play ok pero no gol yet and not mucho from Araujo who play so little.
We know Miami FC have no money like Burrito so this all we half this year, sorry compadres! All Blues fans can do is sit back drink cerveza and wait for next season or a miracle from la Virgen de Guadalupe! Burrito leave you with episode of "Huevos in Space"!
Hey, i´m back. With one of my favorite topics: PLAYBOY ACCESOIRES AND "FASHION"... I love the playboy. I like the girls inside, the centerfold and of curse the articles. YES, I read the articles. Belive it or not. But with the magazine there comes some bad side effects... The fashion, The jewelry... That would be not sooo bad, if only girls like kendra wilkinson, holly madison or bridget marquardt wear this stuff. They fit in this stuff. But the most girls, who wears it, are anything else then playmates. Or have you ever seen an 200 pound playmate? Me not. The other type are this kind of girls, who have a tramp-stamp above their asses... Bitches. That kind, that hang out with the hollywoodturks or the krochers (See first blog). Ok. Here is the most important thing, i have to say about this kind of clothing: Only the reason, that you wear it, dosen´t mean, that you are a playmate. It does not change you into one. I know, the truth is not always beautiful. But there is something much worster than girls, that should not wear this stuff: Boys, who wear playboy stuff. Hey, are you a man or a pussy. It does not let you look harder, if you have a playboy bunny earrings, with unreal stones in it. Or a playboy belt buckle ore a superfancy playboy watch. Ok, pussys see you soon
The last powerful guy that hated a president this much. Allen Dulles was the head of the CIA under JFK. He and his deputy Charles Cabbell were fired by Kennedy after the Bay of Pigs incident. Then Cabbell's brother as mayor of Dallas got that motorcade route changed...you know the rest.
Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has labelled his opponent Johan Kerrij a flip-flopper as the upccoming Iranian presidential elections intensify ahead of the June 12th vote. Ahmadinejad, though popular with conservatives, is loathed by more progressive elements within his country. His recent sabre-rattling on the global front is viewed as a means to keep the electorate focused on national security issues, where he is viewed as a "strong leader" by many Iranians, still edgy from the US invasion of neighbouring Iraq. The Iranian president is often described by detractors as an intellectual lightweight, unable to view the complexities of the world beyond a black-and-white prism, but he has managed to use this to his advantage presenting a common "folksy" touch and portraying opponent Kerrij as an elitist and flip-flopper.
Surely the Iranians won't re-elect this guy? I mean who would fall for something that transparently stupid?
