Kim Kardashian Breaks up With Miles Austin by Tina

Kim Kardashian seems to have no luck with men lately. Her romance with Dallas Cowboys Miles Austin is over. At least this split appears to be amicable, and there aren't any ugly cheating allegations being thrown out. Yet.

Kim is a busy girl with red carpets to walk, TV shows to film and stores that need to be shopped. She apparently didn't have time for a boyfriend right now. Friends say the two split by mutual decision.

The people who are most bothered by this are the Dallas Cowboys fans. Kim and her sister Khloe have the golden touch with athletes as Kim ex Reggie Bush is a Super Bowl Winner and Khloe's husband is now an NBA champ. The Dallas fans wanted a Super Bowl win in a big way.

Heck, right now they'd probably be happy for any win!

Lindsay Lohan's Comeback and SNL Gig Questionable by Tina

Lindsay Lohan's big comeback and Saturday Night Live hosting gig are questionable. Her big comeback was going to come in the form of interviews with big paydays attached, but it seems Lindsay has blown those chances. Who wants to be her first post-jail interview when she is going back for another 30 days and can have another post jail interview in less than two months?

The judge who is now sitting on Lindsay's case will have some big decisions to make. Does he let Lindsay fly to New York to tape the show? Does he let her fly to Louisiana to film her movie, Inferno? These were the only paydays Lindsay had coming up, so she better hope he does let her.

However, if she's sitting in jail it won't matter. She cant film either from a jail cell.

Katy Perry Defends Russell Brand, Who On Twitter Jokes About Arrest

It reads like California Girls singer Katy Perry and her fiance Russell Brand will be just fine after he attacked a photographer at LAX (Los Angeles Airport) who tried to "put a lens up her dress" according to TMZ.com.  The photographer made a citizen's arrest of Brand, aided by LA police.  

Then, on Twitter Russell Brand wrote:

Mum. Me and "chico" my new homey from the joint. I've been joined his "club". Send condoms. http://twitpic.com/2q4obv

Which is where the photo comes from.

Meanwhile Katy Perry tweeted this message that explains what happened:

If you cross the line & try an put a lens up my dress, my fiancé will do his job & protect me. #standbyyourman #don'tfuckwiththeBrands.

I seem to recall California passing a tougher paparazzi law this year. Who's enforcing it? That's the question.

Cooper Manning, Peyton Manning's Wife, Archie Manning Top Search Trends

A combination of NBC's Football Night In America and the Colts vs. Giants prime time game, coupled with news and blogs writing posts about them have combined to make Cooper Manning, Peyton Manning's wife, and Archie Manning Top Search trends on Google Trends as of this writing.

What's interesting is the content listed is all over the place. Some of it concerns Peyton Manning's game against the New York Giants.

Other content is an inquiry about Peyton Manning's wife Ashley, who keeps a low profile. There's no one item title that sticks out.

For those Internet media types, this is a study in the power of television to direct search traffic. It's also a measure of the popularity of the football game and of the Manning family.

Are NFL Head Coaches Benching Black QBs Faster Than White QBs?

Are NFL Head Coaches Benching Black QBs Faster Than White QBs? It's a pattern that's starting to emerge, though not in a neat way.

On Sunday, Tennessee Titans QB Vince Young (black) is benched after a 3 interception one fumble performance against the Pittsburgh Steelers for Kerry Collins (white). Oakland Raiders QB Jason Campbell (black) is sent to the sidelines after lackluster first-half play against the St. Louis Rams, and replaced by Bruce Gradkowski (white).

The Philadelphia Eagles trade Donovan McNabb (black) to make room for Kevin Kolb (white), who doesn't play because of a concussion last week, and gives way by need to Michael Vick (black).

Vick, even though he's playing lights-out football, is forced to be humble and say "This is Kevin Kolb's team" because Andy Reid says so, even as Vick's proved in two straight games (and in preseason) that he's a better quarterback.

The point is that many NFL head coaches seem quick to pull their black quarterbacks if they don't play well and replace them with a white quarterback, and let that white quarterback play out of a bad game.

In the case of Oakland Raiders Head Coach Tom Cable, he surprised everyone by pulling Campbell at halftime, and saying to Bruce Gradkowski "Go and win this game for us." That public statement was frankly boneheaded, because Coach Cable sent the message to Campbell that he has no real confidence in him, just two games into the season on a new team and in a new system.

Cable should have not just given Campbell the chance to play into the game, but had his coaching staff coach him out of his slump. That's what they get paid to do, or at least should be able to do. The Raiders won by two points, and Campbell wasn't doing a bad job: he was 8 of 15 for 87 yards, and threw just one interception in the first half.

In the Rams game Sunday, Bruce Gradkowski was 11 of 22, 50 percent versus 53 percent for Campbell.  Bruce had one touchdown, yes, but one interception too. In other words, there was not much difference between Campbell and Gradkowski, yet the Raiders didn't give Campbell a chance to win the game and Coach Cable throws him under the bus.

Now, because the Raiders won by just two point, there will be an irrational, emotional look at the situation and some will say Bruce should start on the basis of one game.  The fact is, no one knows if Campbell could not have rallied the Raiders and himself to win, because they didn't give him a chance to do so.

Bench Favre for Jackson

Hey, The Minnesota Vikings are 0 and 2 and Brett Farve, who's white, has four interceptions in two games.  You don't see Vikings Head Coach Brad Childress pulling him for Tarvaris Jackson, who's black.  Yet, Jackson's more than ready to play and go out and win a game for the Vikings.

And in the case of Vince Young,  Titans Head Coach Jeff Fisher has pulled Young in that way before.  Coach Fisher has to prove he can coach Young out of his slumps - Fisher hasn't done this yet.  If he does, he would be a better coach and Young a better quarterback.

And just for good measure, Baltimore Ravens QB Joe Flacco threw four interceptions against the Cincinnati Bengals, yet was allowed to complete the football game. This fits the pattern in a way such that if Flacco were black, we could bet that he might have been benched for Marc Bulger. The point is, again, that Flacco, who's white, was allowed to finish the game even though he was terrible.

This is an awful pattern that's emerging.  Hopefully, it doesn't continue through the year.

M. Night Shyamalan On 3D In Movies At 3D Summit

The other featured speaker of the 3D Entertainment Summit was famed Hollywood Producer M. Night Shyamalan.

In a rambling, confusing, and interesting 30 minute conversation about 3D, the industry, and how he felt the younger producers were being "forced" to plunge in and use this new approach to film making, the maker of The Devil, his newest film, went from wanting to use 3D, to not wanting to use it, to using parts of it in a film, to some place of still trying to work it all out.

As 3D Summit Director Bob Dowling said, content is king and good content is important in 3D movies. While presented as a film-maker who's innovative, Shyamalan immediately dispelled that idea by saying he's a dinosaur who cut Lady In The Water on film. "Technology is not the thing that gets me going. When I see other people that inspire me like George Lucas and Spielberg and Peter Jackson and James Cameron. They're just all so techy-savvy. It's the thing they get excited about. The dinner table dialog gets me excited. Just that I'm sitting here is like some alternate bizarro universe."

Shyamalan, who doesn't even know how to work his own computer, nonetheless, likes to take huge leaps, and that's why he wound up doing The Last Airbender.

Not made as a 3D Movie, The Last Airbender has been panned and the 3D effects called "laughable" by one reviewer. Shyamalan admits he learned a lot, and wished that he'd made the decision to use 3D much earlier in the process of the making of the movie.

The Message Of Film With Respect To 3D

Shyamalan said the World kept changing such that the question of 3D came up again and again. But he was not swayed by one movie made as a 3D movie and said did not like the pan effects, and so called Paramount and said "I don't know." Then he saw Alice In Wonderland, where 3D matched the story, and called Paramount back and said "scratch that last message."

It's that back and forth which marks Shyamalan's still-in-flux thinking about the use of 3D in his movies. One issue for M Night are the 3D glasses. The fact that one has to put them on, in his view, is an impediment to the film watching experience. If he wants to use 3D in some parts of a movie, then the viewer has to put their glasses on, then take them off, then put it on again is bothersome to him.

Plus, there's the problem of his aunt in Buffalo, who asks "Why doesn't the 3D come out at you more?" His need to explain the technics of 3D and worry that the audience expectations may not match what he's trying to communicate make him hesitate to fully jump on the 3D bandwagon.

For M. Night Shyamalan, 3D "is not subservient to the story, and that is the problem."  He sees it as more than "just a tool" but something that can take over and define a movie, and that observation gives him pause regarding its use.  

Oh, and don' forget about the glasses.

Michael Vick-Led Eagles Beat Detroit Lions and Jahvid Best

Once again in two weeks, Quarterback Michael Vick directed the Philadelphia Eagles to score more points than the opponent when he was quarterback, and this time gets a win. The Eagles best the Detroit Lions and a coming-of-age performance by former Cal Running Back and Lions Rookie 1st Round Pick Jahvid Best to win a close one 35 - 32.

The win now presents Eagles Head Coach Andy Reid with a clear quarterback problem. Quarterback Kevin Kolb, who Coach Reid made what this blogger called the dumbest trade in the World of Donovan McNabb to the Washington Redskins, to make room for as the starter, did not play.

Kolb did not fully recover from the concussion sustained at the hands of Green Bay Packers Linebacker Clay Matthews last week, and which paved the way for Vick to replace him.

In two games, Michael Vick has 459 yards, three touchdowns, and no interceptions. Additionally, Vick has 147 yards rushing with just over 7 yards per carry.

Intangibly, Vick gives The Eagles a spark they just didn't have with Kolb. Ever. But even with that, Coach Reid, afraid to admit he screwed up, is sticking with Kolb.

That places Kolb in a bad place mentally. Kevin's got to believe the fans want Vick to start and not him. So if Kolb comes in, he has to not only play well, but win. It's not enough for him to play well if the Eagles lose, because fans will say the winning spark is gone. If Kolb plays poorly and the Eagles lose, Reid looks stupid. If Kolb plays poorly and the Eagles win, the questions still come raining down on Coach Reid and Kolb.

That's a terrible situation for Kevin Kolb.

To his credit, Michael Vick said it's Kolb's team. Vick knows he literally can't lose.
