Philips Wake-Up Light with Dock for iPod

View Comments
For those of you that don’t need those extremely loud alarm clocks, it might be nice to wake up in a much more calm manner. With this Philips Wake-Up Light, you can wake up a little more gradually, instead of getting a very abrupt start to your day. All the while it can charge and play your iPod or iPhone by utilizing the built-in dock. It might not be something that would be ideal if you’re sharing the bed with someone though. Especially since the light does get brighter over a slightly extended period of time.

It takes it a total of 30 minutes to reach the maximum amount on the light. Which means you set the alarm for one time and it starts preparing you before that alarm ever goes off. Once it does go off, you can set it to wake you up with nature sounds, the FM radio or with music directly off of your iPod or iPhone. The light can also be turned on to be used as a bedside lamp. So although it is a slightly bulky clock, you won’t have a need for a lamp to be on the end table as well. You can purchase the clock for $199.99 from Amazon.

Marilyn Manson Threatens Journalists

View Comments
Music editors better watch their pens. Shock rocker Marilyn Manson has threatened to attack any journalists who write negative things about him or his controversial band.

Marilyn — whose real name is Brian Warner — took to his MySpace blog this week to warn writers to keep their fonts shut.

“If one more ‘journalist’ makes a cavalier statement about me and my band, I will personally or with my fans’ help, greet them at their home and discover just how much they believe in their freedom of speech,” Marilyn wrote cryptically.

“I dare you all to write one more thing that you won’t say to my face. Because I will make you say it. “In that manner. That is a threat.”

His statement is thought to be a response to a recent interview in L.A. Weekly, in which a writer suggested that Manson is addicted to cocaine and is nothing like his onstage goth persona. In 1998, Marilyn Manson was accused of inviting music magazine editor Craig Marks backstage at a concert and assaulting him.

The charges were later dropped.

Ryan Tedder Responds To Kelly Clarkson “Already Gone” vs. Beyonce “Halo” Rip-Off Claims

View Comments
Producer and songwriter Ryan Tedder is a bit taken aback over Kelly Clarkson’s assertion that he ripped off his own work on Beyonce’s 2008 hit “Halo” for her new single “Already Gone.”

On Sunday, the former American Idol winner forced her frustration over comparisions between the fourth single from her charttopping All I Ever Wanted album and Bey’s smash ballad. Kelly accuses Tedder of using the same backing track on both singles and insists she begged RCA executives not to release the song.

Tedder has issued a statement in response to Clarkson’s remarks, in it the musician writes:

“‘Already Gone’ is one of the best song I’ve written or produced since ‘Bleeding Love’ and stands tall on it’s own merits apart from ‘Halo.’ They are two entirely different songs conceptually, melodically, & lyrically and I would never try to dupe an artist such as Kelly Clarkson or Beyonce into recording over the same musical track, the idea is both hurtful & absurd. I think when people hear ‘Already Gone’ they will hear what I hear–one of the greatest female vocalists on earth giving her most haunting and heart-breaking performance on a song she helped write. I challenge people to listen and form their own opinions.”

Rachelle Lefevre Unaware She Was Being Recast In “Twilight Eclipse”

View Comments
Twilight fans weren’t the only ones surprised by Tuesday’s announcement that Bryce Dallas Howard would be replacing series star Rachelle Lefevre in The Twilight Saga: Eclipse, opening in theaters June 30, 2010.

Apparently, Summit Entertainment, who produces the Twilight films, forgot to tell Rachelle that she was being recast!

“I was stunned by Summit’s decision to recast the role of Victoria for ‘Eclipse,’” Rachelle said in a statement to Access Hollywood on Wednesday.

Despite Summit’s claims, Rachelle denies that a “scheduling conflict” prevented her from signing up to reprise her role for the thrid film in the Twilight series, which begins shooting in August.

“I was fully committed to the ‘Twilight’ saga, and to the portrayal of Victoria,” Rachelle continued, adding that thanks to Twilight producers, she is now out of other acting jobs. “I turned down several other film opportunities and, in accordance with my contractual rights, accepted only roles that would involve very short shooting schedules. My commitment to ‘Barney’s Version’ is only ten days. Summit picked up my option for ‘Eclipse.’ Although the production schedule for ‘Eclipse’ is over three months long, Summit said they had a conflict during those ten days and would not accommodate me. Given the length of filming for ‘Eclipse,’ never did I fathom I would lose the role over a 10 day overlap. I was happy with my contract with Summit and was fully prepared to continue to honor it. Summit chose simply to recast the part.”

In conclusion, Rachelle wrote:

“I am greatly saddened that I will not get to complete my portrayal of Victoria for the ‘Twilight’ audience. This is a story, a theatrical journey and a character that I truly love and about which I am very passionate. I will be forever grateful to the fan support and loyalty I’ve received since being cast for this role, and I am hurt deeply by Summit’s surprising decision to move on without me. I wish the cast and crew of ‘Eclipse’ only the very best.”

Rachelle will appear in the series’ next film, New Moon, which wrapped shooting last month and will open in theaters November 20.

Miley Cyrus Stalker Mark McLeod (Picture & VIDEO)

View Comments
Miley’s got a pedo psycho…

Police in Tybee Island, North Carolina have fallen under public scrutiny after a middle-aged man accused of stalking teen starlet Miley Cyrus was released from a local jail due to overcrowding.

“If we had heard something about this guy supposedly being a stalker or he had been charged with a felony he wouldn’t have been released,“ says Chatham County Sheriff Al St Lawrence.

Mark McLeod, 53, was arrested and booked on two misdemeanor charges last month after standing in a crowd of people watching Miley film her latest movie, The Last Song, and making sexually-suggestive comments to young girls in the crowd.

According to reports, McLeod has been known to follow the 16-year-old actress around the country and had “been camping at Tybee for three or four days and that he had observed Cyrus on her balcony, that he sent her special presents, said that he was going to marry Cyrus, and even invited the police officer to the wedding.”

In March, McLeod traveled to NYC for Miley’s Miles to Go book signing.

Mark McLeod is expected to appear in a North Carolina courtroom next month.

Ryan Seacrest Paula Abdul Remember Alexis Cohen

View Comments
American Idol stars Ryan Seacrest and Paula Abdul paid tribute to one-time Idol hopeful Alexis Cohen in messages on their respective Twitter pages Monday. Cohen died early Saturday after she was struck in a hit-and-run accident in Seaside Heights, NJ.

Alexis Cohen, or “Glitter Girl” as she was affectionately called, auditioned for Idol in 2007 and 2008. She is perhaps best remembered for the Internet viral video of her tirade after being rejected by judges during the show’s seventh season.

Police have arrested Daniel Bark in connection with Cohen’s death. Bark appeared in state Superior Court were he was arraigned on charges of aggravated manslaughter and drunken driving. He is being held on $35,000 bond.

Prosecutors say the 25-year-old was run down by an out-of-control 2005 Mitsubishi Gallant driven by the 23-year-old Tom’s River man. Alexis was pronounced dead at a local hospital after suffering chest, head, and abdominal injuries.

Writing on her Twitter account Monday, Abdul said: “My heart goes out to the family of Alexis Cohen – she showed great courage at Idol and let’s all send our prayers to her family now.”

Idol host Seacrest added on his own Twitter blog: “My thoughts are with the Cohen family. It is such a sad story. She auditioned for the producers for this season and then the terrible news.”

Jennifer Love Hewitt “Twilight” Fanatic: “Team Edward!”

Jennifer Love Hewitt may be The Ghost Whisperer, but the actress has her eye on one very famous creature of the night.

Add J-Love to the growing list of celebrity hotties going gaga over British bloodsucker Robert Pattinson.

“Who’s not Team Edward?” the actress told MTV News while promoting the upcoming fifth season of Ghost Whisperer at Comic-Con in San Diego last weekend. “There is not a girl in the world who’s not Team Edward! Have you met girls who are not Team Edward? Well, they are not girls! They’re aliens from another planet who should not be allowed to exist.”

Jennifer is an admitted “Twi-Hard” and was left with a glum face after she missed the opportunity to catch the Twilight gang’s buzzed-about appearance at the convention.

“I wanted to see them so badly, but they were here before I got here, so I was bummed that I missed them,” she said. “But I’m hoping that some of the ‘True Blood’ people are still here so that I can see them, ‘cause obviously I have a vampire thing.”

Katie Price “Sex And The City” Role Falls Through After Star Is Branded “Too Old” By Producers

View Comments
Hollywood ageism strikes again: British glamour model Katie Price, also known as Jordan, has failed to land her “dream” role in the new Sex And The City sequel after producers deemed her “too old” for the part.

Katie is 30.


Earlier this month, Katie — who is in the early stages of a bitter divorce with estranged husband Peter Andre — auditioned for the role of “naturally sexy” big-boobed Irish nanny Erin for the upcoming box office blockbuster Sex And The City 2, but failed to make it to the final 20.

“Jordan was never going to be able to play that part. She’s deluded,” a snickering snitch told The Sun this week.

“All the botox in the world won’t shave a decade off her.”

“Bosses wanted someone fresh-faced, natural and young. Jordan is none of those things. She may have the big boobs, but they don’t look natural,” the source added.

Well…that’s kind of harsh.

“The character has to be good with children. Jordan might be a good mom, but she doesn’t come across as a warm, fun figure who goes cart-wheeling with someone else’s kids.”

Kobe Bryant believes Lamar Odom will be back with Lakers

“I’m optimistic that he’ll be back,” Bryant said during his news conference in Singapore. “He makes us a much, much stronger team.”

The only other team currently interested in Odom are the Miami Heat, but they arn’t even offering him as much money as the Lakers are.

Odom would be retarded not to sign back with the Lakers. Los Angeles is the perfect fit for him and he’d still make a shitload of money.

Vanessa Hudgens Parade Magazine: “I’m Very Guarded After Nude Photo Scandal”

View Comments
Vanessa Hudgens has become very protective of her private life since images of her hairy miff made their way onto the interwebs in 2007.

In an interview with the July 26 edition of Parade, High School Musical’s Gabriella Montez says: “That’s why I’m extremely guarded. I really do try to watch everything I say. Because one little tiny slip, and it’s like the world is coming to an end.”

She adds, “It is hard. I do always have a wall up. But I feel by doing it, I keep myself safe.”

Vanessa On Gossip Blogs: “I try not to read the blogs or what people say about me. Because that’s what brings everybody down — no matter what you do, you’re always going to have haters.”

Vanessa On Her Extraordinary Relationship With Mom Gina Guangco: “I am so close to my family. I talk to my mom almost every day,” says the self-professed Mama’s Girl. “I got her fired once. I was calling her at work way too much, because I missed her,” the 20-year-old brunette reveals. “Back then, I was so shy, I did not want to leave her side. I would call her at work nonstop, to the point where she got fired. It was horrible.”

On Overcoming Shyness: “When I was young, I would not talk to anybody if I didn’t know them. I’d hide behind my mom if she tried to introduce me to anyone.”

On Living On Her Own: “It’s weird living by myself. I thought I’d be the person who, every time I hear a little noise, would hide under my bed. But I’ve fallen in love with my home. When I’m in there, I feel safe. I don’t think I’ve gotten scared once — knock on wood — in my house by myself. Then again, I do sleep with the TV on so that I don’t hear all the little clinks and clanks at night!”

On The Paparazzi: “I keep my head down. Usually I’ll run around in hoodies, and I’ve got this massive head of hair, and I throw it all in my face so that nobody can see me. But if I want to do something, I’m going to do it, and if people recognize me, the fans, then great. They’re the reason why High School Musical is what it is, and they’re the reason why I’m here, so I’m thankful.”

On Breaking Into Acting: “[In middle school] I started to get into fashion, which tends to make you a little more popular. But when I was on the stage, I felt like I was hiding behind a person, and I adored it. My parents had Grease lying around, and I watched that and fell in love with it. It was interesting to see people moving stories along with songs–it was exciting and different. West Side Story was one of my favorites. [ High School Musical] was the best thing that could and possibly will ever happen to me. I got to make lifelong friends. I had the most incredible time of my life.”

Silvio Berlusconi Sex Scandal; Berlusconi Call Girl Sex Audio Leaked

View Comments
Italy might want to find itself a new PM….

Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi — one of the nation’s richest men –has gotten himself into a bit of a pickle after audio tapes of him getting his jollies on with a high-prized call girl were leaked to the interwebs this week.

The recordings were secretly made by blonde Lady of The Night Patrizia D’Addario after the 42-year-old pro spent two nights at Palazzo Grazioli, Berlusconi’s home, lending her…um…”services.”

We can’t decide what’s funniest about this story; the fact that we have yet another political bozo caught with his pants down or that some pathetic soul is still peddling her wares into her 40s! Someone please find this girl a day job.

Anywho, Patrizia is one of dozens of significantly younger women who was been invited to parties hosted by the disgraced 72-year-old in recent months.

During weeks of rumors over his relationship with younger women, Berlusconi denied claims that he’d slept with the hooker, saying he does not understand how “people could pay for sex without the thrill of the conquest.” Uh-huh. Sucks for the billionaire that the tape released today allegedly features the two having sex and then discussing his performance.

We especially like this little gem:

PD: A young man would have come in a second.. I mean he would have come… Young men usually have a lot of pressure.

SB: But if you will you allow me… (muffled) I believe it is a family thing.

PD: What?

SB: Having an orgasm.

PD: You know how long it has been since I had sex like I had with you tonight. It’s several months, since I broke with my boyfriend. Is this normal?

SB: May I? You should have sex with yourself. You should touch yourself often.

Having an orgasm is a “family thing?” Well…that’s a new one. And hearing some guy old enough to my Grandpa yammering on about “touching yourself?” What a total Brain Bleach! Moment. There’s nothing quite like an old fool is there?

Vanessa Hudgens Jealous Of Zac Efron’s Friendship With Megan Fox

View Comments
“See her again, and we’re through!” a furious Vanessa Hudgens fumed after catching longtime boyfriend Zac Efron in the company of one of the hottest brunettes on the Planet. National Enquirer spies claim the High School Musical starlet hit the roof after learning her heartthrob BF had a business dinner with stunning actress Megan Fox late last month.

Baby V — undeterred by whispers that Megan has reunited with on-off ex Brian Austin Green –is reportedly so insecure about Zac’s friendship with the Transformers star, she has banned him from seeing her again.

The Enquirer mole reveals: “Vanessa demanded Zac cut all ties with Megan and swore if he didn’t, they were finished….Vanessa feels humiliated by what she perceives to be Zac cheating on her….”

Zac’s going along with Vanessa’s wishes that he keep away from Megan, but he’s torn between being loyal to his girlfriend and the possibility of working with Megan in the future.

“He doesn’t want to cut Megan off entirely because he thinks a work collaboration could be box-office gold. On the other hand, Zac loves Vanessa and doesn’t want to lose her.”

Rupert Everett is speaking ill of the dead. The outspoken gay actor is known for his rants about his days as a drug-addicted prostitute and the perils of fellow gays becoming parents — and now he’s turning his big mouth to Michael Jackson.

In an interview with London’s Daily Mail Wednesday, Rupert shared his thoughts on the late King of Pop, referring to Jackson as a “freak” who’s better off dead.



“I think it was fortuitous that he died….He was a freak. He looked like a character from Shrek. He was a black to white minstrel. He was crucified by that court case when he was accused of child molestation – that killed him. He personified the pain and anxiety of a black man in a slave country. We all watched as he changed from black to white. He was living performance art. “We’re living in very strange times. We have Michael Jackson, a black man who has gone white, and we have President Barack Obama, who is a half white man gone black. It’s absolutely fascinating to watch.”

Bagelheads – Japanese Up Their Weirdo Cred With Latest Fad

In their perpetual pursuit to “out-weird” the rest of the world, the Japanese have resorted to perhaps the stupidest body mod fad of all-time.

No, those kids up there in the photo aren’t suffering from progressed brain tumors. Rather, they are bagelheads: people who modify their body so that it looks like a giant bagel is growing out of their skin.

The look is accomplished through the use of a saline solution drip, which is injected at your local tattoo/piercing shop by a professional piercer. The injection causes massive swelling, which can then be molded and pressed into the shape of your choosing.

Naturally, the Japanese chose the logical shape of a bagel.

Dell Vostro All In One: a nice design in computers for cheap price (for businesses)

View Comments
Dell (the American multinational company that makes, markets, and sells personal computers, servers, network switches, computer softwares, peripherals and other products related to the technology industry) has announced its new product “Dell Vostro All In One”, which is a computer targeted to small-and-medium businesses.

Specifically, it is a new all-in-one desktop computer that extends the Dell Vostro line (actually, it is the first all-in-one computer in this line). For those who doesn’t understand the term all-in-one computer, it refers to a computer that has its case integrated into the monitor. So, you only has one box (not including peripherals, of course). In the case of the Dell Vostro All In One, a 19-inch monitor is the object that stores all the internal boards and devices.

Dell Vostro All In One has a nice design and comes in black. As mentioned before, it is targeted to the business market (or maybe for some self-employed professionals). Its features are not bad at all if it is intended to be used in environments of an average office.

The 19-inch screen of this all-in-one computer is simple but beautiful and has a resolution of up to 1440 x 900 pixels. Other internal features include a 2.6GHz Intel Pentium dual-core processor (although the included mother board also supports Intel Core 2 Duo processor), 2GB RAM, 160GB hard disk drive, and integrated Intel GMA X4500 graphic chipset.

The Vostro all-in-one is priced starting at US$629. In USA, this computer will be available for ordering beginning August 11.

Ben Roethlisberger Rape — Andrea McNulty Suing Roethlisberger For Sexual Assault

View Comments
A woman is accusing Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger of raping her in his penthouse hotel room at Lake Tahoe last summer, The New York Times has learned.

Attorneys for the reigning Super Bowl champion denied the allegations Tuesday, noting that the accuser, identified as Andrea McNulty, never went to the authorities to report the alleged sexual assault.

(Pictures Of Roethlisberger Accuser Andrea McNulty After The Jump….)






“This weekend Andrea McNulty served Ben Roethlisberger with a civil complaint accusing him of sexually assaulting her in July 2008. Ben has never sexually assaulted anyone; especially Andrea McNulty. The timing of the lawsuit and the absence of a criminal complaint and a criminal investigation are the most compelling evidence of the absence of any criminal conduct. If an investigation is commenced, Ben will cooperate fully and Ben will be fully exonerated,” David Cornwell, Ben’s attorney, said in a statement Tuesday.

McNulty, who was working at the Harrah’s Lake Tahoe as an executive casino host, says she didn’t file a criminal complaint because she feared Harrah’s would side with Roethlisberger and she would be fired.

The lawsuit claims the 6-foot-5, 240 athlete grabbed McNulty and began kissing her against her will after she entered his suite to fix a technical problem. It was then that she was “shocked and stunned that this previously friendly man, that appeared to be a gentleman in her previous contacts with him was suddenly preventing her from leaving, was assaulting her and battering her.”

Andrea said she feared that because Roethlisberger is a strong man, he could physically harm her if she tried to fight him off — but she says she objected several times.

“But instead of stopping, Roethlisberger began fondling plaintiff through her dress and between her legs,” the suit said. He then “held her against her will and physically moved plaintiff and pushed her onto his bed” where he raped her, the suit reads.

She told him “You don’t want to do this,” and begged him “I am not on any type of birth control.”

Andrea McNulty is seeking $440,000 in the suit, which names Ben Roethlisberger and eight Harrah’s employees as defendants. McNulty believes hotel officials for Harrah’s Lake Tahoe went to great lengths to cover up her assault and delay the NFL’s star’s prosecution.

Richard Jefferson Wedding Bailout; Jefferson Dumps Kesha Ni’Cole Nichols Via Email!

View Comments
Oh dear…Hoopster Richard Jefferson has been crowned Cad of The Week after the San Antonio Spurs star caught a case of cold feet and dumped his gorgeous bride-to-be just hours before their wedding — via email!!

Too bad he forgot to notify the guests!

According to Yahoo! and AOL Sports nearly 100 people showed up in New York City last Saturday to watch Jefferson wed former New Jersey Nets dancer Kesha Ni’Cole Nichols.

He never showed up at the hotel, but “all his boys were there,” says a friend. “He gave his best friend the Black Amex [credit card] for the night.”

Jefferson’s guests made good use of the credit card to party on their pal’s dime.

Jefferson and his former fiancée had planned an elaborate wedding ceremony, expected to cost more than $2 million. The couple also planned to honeymoon in London, complete with tickets to the Michael Jackson concert.

Luckily for Kesha, Jefferson has decided to smooth things over by offering her a “six-figure” settlement…

“I’m not trying to buy her off. She has a lump sum to help her move on,” the former Nets star explained in an interview with The Chicago Sun-Times.

“There was a lot of stress and tension in the relationship. We’ve been through a lot — but we just couldn’t continue…”

Jon Gosselin Hailey Glassman Wedding In Vegas — Reality Star Proposes With $180K Engagement Ring

View Comments
By now you know that Jon Gosselin has reportedly proposed to his new girlfriend Hailey Glassman only weeks after his wife Kate Gosselin filed for divorce.

(I’d have been glad to tell you that, but its a very busy news day and I can I only write one story at a time. Moving along…..)

Last month, Jon and Kate called it quits after ten years of marriage after the family found itself embroiled in a cheating scandal that accused both spouses of infidelity.

The 32-year-old stay-at-home dad — best known for his role as Kate’s verbal punching bag on the TLC reality series Jon & Kate Plus 8 — allegedly proposed to Glassman, a 22-year-old wildchild, with a $180K ring.

“Jon has been telling everyone that he loves her and she loves him, so why waste time? They started dating two months ago and they both just knew the other was the one instantly,” an insider close to the May-December lover spill in the new issue of In Touch, on newsstands Friday.

“Jon said to Hailey: ‘Why don’t we get married in Vegas?’ and she squealed ‘yes!’ They are already talking about staying in the Venetian Hotel on their wedding night and what sort of dress she’ll wear,” the source adds.

Gosselin and Glassman stepped out together for the first timeover the weekend in St. Tropez, where they met with Ed Hardy designer Christian Audigier to finalize a deal on collaborating on a clothing line.

“They all went out to the V.I.P Room nightclub in St. Tropez after dinner,” says another source close to the group. “Hailey was flashing her ring around and they were kissing and hugging.”

Terrell Suggs is the highest paid linebacker in NFL history

View Comments
The Baltimore Ravens made linebacker Terrell Suggs the highest paid linebacker in NFL history by signing him to a huge $63 million, 6-year deal on Wednesday.

“I’m looking forward to showing them that they didn’t make a mistake and they got the right guy,” Suggs said.

The Ravens are hoping Suggs can continue to be one of the top pass rushers in the league.

“Securing Terrell for six seasons gives us a premier pass-rusher whose ability to stop the run does not get enough credit,” Ravens general manager Ozzie Newsome said.

Suggs is a 6-year veteran, but he’s still ony 26-years old.

“This will be Suggs’ seventh season, and he is still a young player,” Newsome said. “Remember, he came to us as a 20-year old rookie after his junior year in college. This is a good day for the Ravens franchise.”

He’s a great player, but no defensive player is worth that much money.

Favre will announce comeback by July 30th

View Comments
Brett Favre told The Associated Press on Wednesday that he will make an official decision on his future by July 30th.

“There’s two weeks left and I’m doing everything I can,” Favre said. “I was down here Sunday morning working out. I’m trying to get everything to where I feel 100 percent when I go in. I can’t go in any less. When you’re 39 years old, it’s hard enough. But it’s getting there.”

Favre also said that his arm feels great, and just as strong as ever.

“I don’t think Minnesota would even consider it if I didn’t have it,” Favre said. “Second of all, I wouldn’t even think about it if I didn’t have it. Now, having it here and having in on the field on Sundays is two different things, I know that for a fact. I know what it takes to play on Sunday and I still believe I have that.”

Just shut up and announce your comeback. Everyone knows you’ve already made up your mind.

Jon Gosselin’s new Buss It Baby is a lady lover.

Kate will not be pleased…

RadarOnline drudged up 22-year-old Joy Lawlor, who claims she bumped pelvics with Hailey Glassman for three years while the two were students at Indiana University.

During her turbulent romance with the future Mrs. Gosselin, Joy claims Hailey cheated on her, regularly lied to her, and introduced her to a cocaine addiction that would later land her behind bars.

With that in mind, Joy has a word of advice for the TLC reality star who is admittedly smitten with her former flame: Run.

“You are wasting your time with Hailey. She’ll destroy you.”

“For a girl so young she was very wild, both for drugs and for sex….I am speaking out because Jon Gosselin needs to know what he is getting himself involved in. Hailey comes across as a smart, likable girl. But she is manipulative and destructive.”

Manny Pacquiao vs Shane Mosley?

View Comments

The next great boxing bout will be coming soon? Manny Pacquiao vs Shane Mosley? Here is the story by Michael David Smith, boxing.fanhouse.com:

Manny Pacquiao, the best pound-for-pound boxer in the world, said Wednesday that he’s prepared to accept a challenge from Shane Mosley to be his next opponent — provided the two can work out details of a contract.

“No problem, we can fight. As long we negotiate,” Pacquiao reportedly told GMA News in the Philippines.

That led Mosley to release a statement saying that he’ll agree to give Pacquiao 60 percent of the purse, and he’ll agree to lose weight and fight Pacquiao below Mosley’s usual 147 pounds.

“Now that Manny has stated that he is ready to fight me, the only thing left to finish are negotiations,” Mosley said. “Richard Schaefer and Bob Arum are working out the details now. I will be ready to fight Pacquiao on October 17th.”

Of course, when two parties say they have a deal and that they just need to negotiate the details, what they really mean is they don’t have a deal at all. So will this fight really go down?

I think it’s a fight that makes sense from a competitive standpoint and would make money from a business standpoint, but I also think the one big fight that boxing needs is Pacquiao vs. Floyd Mayweather, and I’m not sure that any fight that would stand in the way of Pacquiao vs. Mayweather is a fight that should happen.
