Lexus, and its all-new 2013 GS sport sedan, has teamed up with Sports Illustrated Swimsuit model Tori Praver to do something that no other duo has attempted before. Lexus has created an actual race track inspired by the curves of Tori’s body. It is called the Tori 500.

Sure, Tori’s curves will inspire any warm-blooded man, but to construct an actual racetrack from them? Check out the video and pics below to see how the process played out. We’ve also thrown in some additional Tori goodies for your viewing pleasure.

In the video you’ll see our friend Scott Pruett competing with stunt driver Greg Tracy in the all-new 2013 Lexus GS on the TORI 500 track. The grand prize was a victory lap with the lovely Tori in the passenger seat.

Yeah, we’re a little behind in bringing you the Miss Howard TV girl for January 2012. I don’t know if it is the new 3-day broadcast week limiting the schedule or if Stern is still bitter about one bad Miss HTV interview, but the show hasn’t been consistent in bringing the girls into the studio to announce their reign. Last year Howard blew his stack after a Miss HTV interview that was the equivalent of interviewing a brick.

We don’t want to fall too far behind in bringing you the Miss Howard TV girls, so we’ll play catch up real quick. Here is the debut Miss HTV for 2012 – Miss January, Lena D. Since I didn’t catch the interview, I don’t know too much about Miss D, but her bio on HowardTV.com says she is 27 years old, 5′-1″ and 105 pounds. Her measurements are 36C-26-36.

In November, 2010, a ballot initiative to legalize marijuana was narrowly defeated (53-46) in California. Convinced the time has come to legalize cannabis, activists are collecting signatures to place the Regulate Marijuana Like Wine Act of 2012 (RMLW) on the November, 2012 ballot.

“LEAP believes the citizens of California are far ahead of the federal government in assessing a policy that will reduce death, disease, crime, and corruption, when they register 62% support for the initiative Regulate Marijuana Like Wine.” Read the rest of this entry »

With the passing of singer Whitney Houston, we are once aging compelled to check in on Leif Garrett. Surprisingly Lief is still alive. Looking crapier than ever, but yes he is alive. We were not sure at first but a closer look tells us clinically we have to call him alive. Vegas odds say Leif is most likely the next child star to be found face down in a pool of his own vomit but still he seems to march on. Read the rest of this entry »

By now we are sure you have heard about the impending nuptials of Tom Brady’s little sister Julie Brady to Boston Red Sox slugger Kevin Youkilis. It is nice to see someone in the Brady family doing the marriage thing before having kids for once.

One can expect that the guest list to this wedding will read like a who’s who of Boston sports legends. One iconic Boston sports legend that will be working double duty at the wedding we hear is New England Patriots coach Bill Belichick. Read the rest of this entry »

Hola, smokers of the leaf. It’s Super Bowl Sunday for most people, but for myself, it’s just Sunday. Instead of obsessing over grown men chasing and jumping atop the carrier of a ball, I would rather see men chase a small piece of rubber while ice skating and, in frustration, pummel bodies against bodies, and fists against faces. It’s not that football can’t be exciting; it’s just not my brand of obsession. (Ironically, I have a fair amount of obsession regarding old NFL films summarizing past Super Bowls.)

This morning on Howard Stern’s SiriusXM radio show, single ladies Christa Miller and Courtney Cox (formerly Arquette) called in to promote the February 14th season premiere of Cougar Town. Before Howard even said hello, the sex and David Arquette questions came flying.

We soon learned that Howard, who has been dabbling in photography, had shot Christa recently in a very sexy shoot. Christa mentioned that Howard kept telling his wife, Beth Ostrosky Stern, to leave the room but she kept refusing.

I didn’t know who Christa was prior to the call in so I had to look her up. Of course I searched for “Christa Miller Bikini”. Below are some of her, as well as Courteney’s, bikini shots. Click any thumbnail to see the full-sized version: Read the rest of this entry »

Bruce and I have received quite a few perks from running this site over the years, but nothing has even come close to what we were treated to during this past Super Bowl weekend. Imagine being able to test-drive one of the top names in luxury vehicles, on a closed track, with a professional race car driver… in Las Vegas.

The happening was the 2013 Lexus GS Event at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway, and it was the ultimate treat. We spent the day beating the hell out different models of the ’13 GS… and they kept taking whatever we dished out and then asked for more. Well, it was the professional drivers assisting us that were urging us to push the vehicles. Its not every day you hear someone tell you to hit the corners harder in a Lexus.

How many critics are going to clue in on the misnomer in the title, the Rolling Stones owning the trademark “Greatest Rock Band in the World” by eminent domain, if not hard fact. Indeed, it is hard to argue with Mick Jagger, Keith Richards and their longevity…staggering income, and timeless popularity as not the heirs to the throne, but those who had created it. Despite the “massive” popularity discussed in this documentary (listen to the “Flash Gordon” segment, and the quip against the critics), this critic remains steadfast that Queen is a great band for its specific niche, but the fans of Jimi Hendrix, Lennon & McCartney, Janis Joplin, The Doors and a variety of other major, major stars have a solid argument that, though Queen is a mighty force, it can hardly be considered the “greatest” rock & roll band in the world. To go down that avenue is to ignore the legacy of Freddie Mercury…it is a bit insulting to his memory, in my opinion… Read the rest of this entry »
