The Olympics Make Their Way To The Video Game World

By Michael Lopez

Sure it’s fun to watch Danell Leyva strut his stuff on the balance beam, but imagine having the opportunity do it yourself? Well now you can (at least in the virtual world) with Sega’s new London 2012 video game.

Unfortunately none of our Latino faves will actually be playable. It seems Sega couldn’t secure a licensing deal with the athletes, so you’ll only find John Orozco lookalikes hitting the gymnastics rings.

Other than that small snafu, London 2012 is a fantastic sim. Available on Xbox 360 and the Playstation 3, it takes full advantage of motion sensing controllers. The Move and the Kinect are compatible, which means your arms will be getting quite a workout from the digitized javelin.

Reviews for the game have been pretty impressive too. IGN called London 2012 “surprisingly strong” and The New York Daily News said it “provides a solid Olympic experience at home.” Both sites praised the track-and-field elements the most (with the 100-meter dash getting the highest honors).

As you can imagine, nearly every event is covered in London 2012, including weightlifting, trampoline and archery. Even table tennis gets added to the interactive mix, though only in the men’s competition. And for all you international fans, every competing country is featured.

But for everyone who craves a more lighthearted Olympic experience, the consoles have you covered too. Good old Nintendo has just released Mario & Sonic at the London 2012 Olympics. Taking things to a much simpler level, this version of the Games has virtually every character from the Mushroom Kingdom.

Mario, the Koopa Troopas, Sonic the Hedgehog and more compete among 24 events, all utilizing the Wii’s trademark nunchuk. There’s even an intricate “Story Mode” that follows bad guy Bowser’s attempts to put an end to the Olympics.

As you can imagine, this one’s more for the younger set, but it can be a lot of fun once the “Party Mode” kicks in. And Mario & Sonic even takes advantage of the London locales, allowing characters to travel to several famous landmarks throughout the city.

So what’s the best Olympic video game of all? If you ask us, it’s still the classic button masher Track & Field. G4 recently listed it as a Nintendo trailblazer. Keep an eye out, you may be able to find this one on a free retro gaming page.

Elizabeth Gutierrez Confirms William Levy Wedding Rumors

By Michael Lopez

In case you were wondering, William Levy and Elizabeth Gutierrez are still very much an item. In fact, they may be planning a wedding soon (at least according to the “bride-to-be”).

Elizabeth recently told The Huffington Post that marriage is very much on their minds. Though dates and details weren’t as easy to come by.

“Sure we’ll get married,” she said with a smile. “We have no date yet, but it’s definitely going to happen. Why not?”

Quickly changing topics, Gutierrez chimed on life with their two kids, Dancing With The Stars and even Levy’s current Pepsi NEXT campaign. And for the record, Elizabeth is just as busy as her famous fiancee, having recently signed on for the novela, El Rostro de la Venganza.

Madonna Upset Over Daughter’s Shaved Head

By Michael Lopez

It’s certainly funny how things come full circle. Back in the day, Madonna was known to be quite the rebel and certainly made some bold fashion statements. Now it seems, her half-Latina daughter Lourdes is showing a “tougher” side, by shaving part of her head!

And according to reports, the Material Girl is not happy about it. In a recent interview, Madge chimed in on her hija’s bold hairstyle confessing that it’s created a few mother/daughter “disagreements.”

“My daughter has a very strong opinion and she knows what she likes,” she said. “Sometimes we disagree on things. I don’t like that she shaves her head, but she likes it.”

Regardless, Madonna said that she admired Lourdes’ strong convictions. Of course little Ms. Leon is only 15, which makes us wonder how far that rebellious streak will go once she reaches her 20′s.

Review: Watch ‘The Watch’ On DVD

By Michael Lopez

In these tough times, we know going out to the movie theater can be expensive. And for epic spectacles like The Avengers or The Dark Knight Rises, it’s worth it. But in the case of The Watch, you may be better off waiting until it pops up in the Netflix queue.

Now granted, The Watch isn’t a terrible film. There are occasional laughs and plenty of raunchy man junk jokes. But overall, it lacks the pizzazz of a full-priced ticket and could be much better suited for late night basic cable.

Interestingly enough, The Watch does boast some box office star power. Ben Stiller and Vince Vaughn usually deliver comedy gold, but here they feel a little underused. Stiller plays the uptight Evan, a Costco worker who turns vigilante after a recent murder in the neighborhood.

Vaughn’s Bob is pretty much a recycled version of his Old School character, though on a much tamer scale. The only interesting lead is British transplant Richard Ayoade, who delivers a few zany zingers as wannabe ladies’ man Jamarcus.

Jonah Hill may have the most controversial character in the bunch. His overzealous Franklin is deemed “unstable” early in the film and could be comparable to another well-known vigilante. Interesting factoid: this movie was originally called Neighborhood Watch, but quickly changed after the Trayvon Martin killing.

But despite that minor controversy, The Watch is pure comedy. It even interjects a bit of sci-fi with an outer space subplot involving angry aliens. We’ll give it a passable grade, but considering the talent involved, we expected much better.

Bottom line: Judging by the box office take it had this weekend, we have a feeling The Watch will disappear from theaters pretty fast. And if you happen to miss it, don’t worry. Though it’s got plenty of A-list talent, this movie is only slightly above average and can easily wait for the Redbox machine.

John Leguizamo Signs On For Two High-Profile Movies

By Michael Lopez

Someone in Hollywood must have really liked John Leguizamo’s portrayal of Sid in Ice Age 4. This week it was announced that the he’s booked roles in two more prominent flicks, The Counselor and Kick-Ass 2.

The Counselor will be a heavy courtroom drama directed by Ridley Scott. Penelope Cruz, Brad Pitt and Javier Bardem are all headliners and John has signed on to play a nasty drug dealer.

Kick-Ass 2 really needs no introduction as it’s the sequel to one of 2010′s most popular underground flicks. Part superhero film, part fist-to-the-face action epic, Kick-Ass is definitely a franchise worth putting on your radar. And Leguizamo will be suiting up to play the Red Mist’s bodyguard.

But knowing John, that’s hardly enough. The hard-working Tr3s fave is also plotting out the details for his own ABC pilot, which may get picked up sometime in 2013.

Kanye West Releases G.O.O.D. Album Cover

By Omar Paredes

Kanye West is an artist, in every sense of the word. Where he gets his inspiration from though, is anyone’s guess. But for his latest masterpiece, the cover to the upcoming G.O.O.D. music compilation album Cruel Summer, one might say a certain young lady inspired him. But we’re not mentioning any names, Kim.

Though the album is a collaborative effort, Kanye’s influence is clearly all over the cover. The artwork (which looks like it was crafted out of clay) shows a nude woman covering her breasts. Did Kim Kardashian pose for this? I don’t know, but the piece very much evokes classical art, much like Kanye and Jay-Z‘s gold-plated, Watch The Throne artwork.

Abstract album covers have become the norm for Kanye. His previous solo effort My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy was so out of this world that certain stores refused to carry the album. What’s Kanye without a little controversy right?

Cruel Summer is scheduled to drop September 4.

Mac Miller Sued For $10 Million… Again

By Omar Paredes

Mac Miller has to be having a major case of déjà vu right now. For the second time in under a month the Pittsburg rapper is being sued for $10 million for alleged copyright infringement.

An artist named Patrick Berlinquette, aka Warm Speakers, filed a complaint yesterday in the New York, stating that he wrote, produced and recorded a song titled ‘The World Around You’ in June 2010 and had it copyrighted in June 2011. The song was later sampled by Miller “without his permission or knowledge” on a song titled ‘F— ‘Em All’, for his mixtape Macadelic.

Miller had previously acknowledged on Twitter that he used Berlinquette’s song by writing, “Shout out @warmspeakers for the song we sampled on F— ‘Em All.”

Still Berlinquette insists that he was never properly compensated nor credited for its usage.

“[Miller] uses other people’s music because it’s easier, cheaper, and faster than creating his own,” reads the complaint. “Miller seeks to capitalize on the common misconception in Copyright Law that people whose music he takes have no remedy if he gives their music away for free.”

Berlinquette claims he was “irreparably harmed, suffered damage, and defendants have profited in an amount to be determined at trial.” He is suing for willful infringement; violation of Copyright Law and New York’s General Business Law.

Lil’ Wayne Trades in Microphone For Skateboard

By Omar Paredes

There was a time not too long ago that you couldn’t turn on the radio or watch a music video that didn’t have Lil’ Wayne it. He was the most sought out rapper in music, with the ability to give an instant boost of credibility to anyone featured on a song with him.

Well now, the Young Money CEO says he want to fall back from hip-hop for a bit to concentrate on his other love: skateboarding. In an interview with DJ Drama, Weezy explained that skateboarding isn’t just a pastime to him; it’s a way of life.

“I picked up the skateboard and I thought it would be a hobby, but it’s a lifestyle. You have to be fully committed. In order to be fully committed, you have to live that lifestyle. What these young kids say right now, you have to be about that life. I guess I’m about that life,” he said. “It’s kinda of putting rap on the back-burner, that’s all. Rap is a taking backseat to skating. That’s all right. But I kind of feel I deserve that. I think fans deserve some peace from me.”

If Lil’ Tunechi is serious about going on hiatus from the rap game, he’s making sure that he supplies his fans with enough music to hold them over until he gets back. Wayne expects to release his Dedication 4 mixtape on August 15, for which he’s rapped over beats including ‘I Don’t Like,’ ‘Cashin’ Out’ and ‘Burn.’

Wayne admits that his need for taking a break from the microphone stems from his boredom with Hip-Hop.

“I just felt like it was time. I got bored,” he said of recording Dedication 4. “Yeah, I mean, being me, I always feel like I ain’t done nothing yet, so I’m always looking for the next thing to do. But other than that, it does get pretty boring when it comes to the rapping and stuff. I’ve done so much of it; I’ve been doing it since I was eight. I’m going to be 30 in September, and I’m still rapping. So I kind of feel like I’m getting old.”
