Aussies power

The Australian cricket team is the national cricket team of Australia. It is the joint oldest team in Test cricket, having played in the first Test match in 1877 (defeating England by 45 runs).

As of 20 January 2010, the Australian team has played 718 Test matches, winning 51.87%, losing 20.87% and drawing 26.98% of its games.^[1] It has a winning record against every other Test nation.^[2] The Australian national cricket team has also led the ICC Test Championshiptable for the majority of the time since the creation of the ICC Test table system in January 2001. The South Africans did lead this table for a brief period from January to May 2003^{[citation needed]}, before Australia resumed the first position on the table. Australia has since dropped down to third in the Test rankings behind India and South Africa.^[3]

Australia have made 6 world cup final appearances and have won the Cricket World Cup 4 times in total; 1987, 1999, 2003 & 2007.

Australia also have been the ICC U19 Cricket World Cup champions (Under 19 Cricket World Cup) in 1988, 2002 and 2010. Australia were runners-up in the ICC World Twenty20 in 2010 (which was won by England).

As of 28 April 2007 they are undefeated in 29 consecutive World Cup matches. They have led the ICC One-Day International Championship table from its inception through to 18 February 2007^{[citation needed]}, and then again from 7 April 2007 until 30 January 2009.^{[citation needed]} In 2002, they were named World Team of the Year at the Laureus World Sports Awards in recognition of their world record sequence of test match victories.

Bobsleigh wardrobe malfunction! See thong!

Beach volleyball is usually the best place to catch a peek at a hot backside - like that of Misty May-Traynor. However, Gillian Cooke, U.K. bobsleigh brakeman (person?), showed that Winter Olympians can exhibit a little skin too. Check out the video below to see how her suit split and showed off her ass in a thong.

Snookie Punched VIDEO

Tila Tequila: Possibly Engaged to Casey Johnson, Definitely a Nut Job

Over the past couple months, Tila Tequila has claimed Shawne Merriman abused her; ranted naked on video; and accused Rihanna of spreading Herpes.

But just when we thought the troubled bisexual couldn't get any loopier, she announced on USTREAM last night that she's engaged to Casey Johnson.

"This is exclusive and going to be all over the news tomorrow... my girlfriend has asked me to marry her," Tila said, flashing a 17-carat ring and adding: "My baby takes care of me. Beat that J.Lo! Beat that Khloe and Lamar!"

Prior to possibly popping the question to Tequila, Casey Johnson was best known for allegedly lighting Courtenay Semel's hair on fire.



This announcement raises numerous questions, of course, not the least of which is whether or not Tila is under heavy medication.

One also can't help but wonder if the ridiculously huge ring (pictured above) is real, an accusation Tequila scoffs at, stating the rock is "not fake, because my baby is a f****** baller. She's a billionaire! She's the heiress of Johnson and Johnson. Anyway, we are going to make love tonight for our honeymoon."

Ummm... honeymoons take place after the wedding, Tila. Actually, nevermind. That confusion is the least of your problems these days.

** UPDATE: Johnson was found dead on January 4. Our prayers go out to Tila and Johnson's family.

I watched it once, surprisingly almost all of them are from New York not New Jersey. Seeing Snooki get hit that hard in the jaw was shocking, how in the world did MTV allow this to happen and why did they ever think to show this particular shot? My God people are trying to stop violence against women, not show it over and over. It was pretty crazy. Not my thing and not something I understand – the lifestyle and people seem to be in some bubble from the 80’s – it’s kind of sad. I do feel really sorry for most of the especially snooks, she’s kind of out there.

Apparently he’s a gym teacher up there somewhere..He got suspended because of this. Now I’ll admit, I secretly watch a lot of reality TV..(sshh..don’t tell anyone) and I attempted to watch this..I couldn’t get through more than 20 minutes of it. It was soo awful, I will not be watching it again. Pure trash on all counts.

I was pretty shocked when I saw this. Then I got to wondering what Snookie was saying to this Guido, flicking her fingernails in his face? Does anyone know? Don’t get me wrong: this guy’s a douchebag. But why does that girl want to harass and then provoke some ape like that? What was she thinking? That’s like running out into heavy traffic with your eyes closed!

it about time someone did something to her .. i HATE it when ghetto girls start getting in someones face and think there wont be any reprocussions.. Snooki is the type of girl who probably ALWAYS got her man in a fight .. not saying its right, but if she would of been a guy, the fight would have started alot sooner .. look at her attitude, shes a rude slutty drunk who cries cuz people dont like her .. get a life, you should of gone home

She thought the bouncers and the cameras would keep her safe. OOPS! If you talk the talk you had better be able to walk the walk. Or else be ready to get your grill busted by some drunk jerk.

damn Talks Smack said: “wow you’re racist”.

I felt obligated to point out that “Italian” isn’t a “race”. It is a culture/country/language that belongs to the Caucasian race (that is, Indo-Europeans from the Caucuses region of Russia who colonized Europe thousands of years ago during prehistory). The Italians, like the English, French and Germans, are only a small sub-group of the Caucasian race. Therefore, making fun of Italians isn’t “racist” at all… if anything, it is “bigoted”. A bigot is someone who is intolerant of different cultures, religions, opinions, etc… as opposed to a racist who is intolerant of different racial groups. However, I would contend that making fun of these guidos isn’t “bigoted” in any way, shape, or form, but rather 100% right on.

Don’t even have to bring her race or culture into the discussion. Let’s just say she is an ignorant, loud mouthed, drunk-ass twat who got her bell rung on national television. LMFAO! She, and hopefully other chicks like her who saw the clip, will think twice about jumping up in someones face again. You never know when you are plucking at someones very last nerve.

How do you guys know that she didn’t say some fucked up shit and deserved to get her head knocked off. I hate all you pussy women defenders. Women love to run their mouths off thinking nothing bad will ever happen. If women want to be treated equally, even in a bar fight, so let it be. Don’t cry “HOW CAN YOU HIT A GIRL??” when you ran your mouth like a man, to a man. Be prepared to be treated like an equal.

any guy that thinks its ok to hit a woman is a bitch. Most guys that think like that are pussies. Its a control thing.
