Usually when World Wrestling Entertainment releases a new product, wrestling fans are bombarded with advertisements and plugs for the new product during WWE programming. In this case, World Wrestling Entertainment has done the exact opposite. For their latest music release, WWE: The Music Volume 7, they have made no mentions of it on TV. The album is only available on iTunes.
This is the company's first iTunes-only release. It is obvious by the track listing that this is a test of some sort because, for the most part, it features the theme songs of the B-Stars of WWE programming. Only time will tell if this is a one-shot deal or if there will be more collaborations between these companies. Currently, episodes of TNA:iMPACT! are available for download. Will we eventually see WWE programming available on the site? Hopefully, the answer to that question will be yes.

Imus Called Women's Basketball Team "nappy-headed hos"
Don Imus is at it again. I'm not going to repeat the comments here. You have probably heard them by now and if you haven't you can click the link. Obviously he won't be fired or even sanctioned in anyway. That's the norm. He is your typical white, middle age, right-wing, ultra-conservative, closed minded extremely ugly, rascist bigot that should be done away with and wouldn't get noticed if he wasn't on the radio.

Hey Floyd Mayweather Jr., pipe down! The UFC has become much bigger than boxing, Pretty Boy!
I want my UFC
By Mary Buckheit
Page 2
I hate to disagree with boxing's best pound-for-pound fighter, but I've got a bone to pick with Floyd Mayweather Jr.
Last week, during a press conference to publicize his upcoming bout with Oscar De La Hoya, Floyd took a shot at the Ultimate Fighting Championship -- which has been near and dear to my heart since I caught my first whiff of The Octagon.

Think Mayweather would get in the ring with Chuck Liddell, the UFC light heavyweight champ?
"UFC ain't s---," Mayweather said. "It ain't but a fad. … These are guys who couldn't make it in boxing. So they do [mixed martial arts]. Boxing is the best sport in the world and it's here to stay."
Mayweather is 30 years old. The Pretty Boy should know better.
He should know that boxing is a dinosaur, and that the pet pit bull of us 20-somethings is the UFC. That's an unarguable fact. Check the ratings, and the pay-per-view receipts.
We of the age of MTV want our UFC. Sure, if us kids know what's good for us, we come to MMA with inherent respect for Ali, and Marciano, and Tunney, and Dempsey, and Frazier, and the other idols of our fathers. But the generation that is up all night making cheese sandwiches on George Foreman grills is hooked on board shorts and bare hands -- not the big red-gloved traveling circus.
Look no further than the present if you're still playing the b.s. "UFC isn't mainstream" card.
First, just last week, the majority owners of the Ultimate Fighting Championship agreed to buy their biggest mixed-martial-arts rival -- the Japan-based PRIDE Fighting Championships....More?

K-Fed's Divorce Settlement
A 2004 pre-nup called for Kevin Federline to get $250,000 for each year of their marriage, but Spears upped that figure to $500,000 to speed up the negotiations.
He receives half the proceeds from their Malibu mansion, which is on the market for $13.5 million. $25,000 a month in child support for each of the couple’s two children until they reach 18. He also gets custody of the boys four days a week.
Federline gets to keep all the gifts Spears bought them during their marriage.
He’s forbidden from writing a tell-all about their marriage.

Always Second Place
Mtv.com has an interesting article on their website about top acts that have never had a #1 album. There is a section mentioning Hunter and Motörhead:
....Motörhead: OK, while this one doesn't exactly fall into the "shocking" category, we'd like to state for the record that it's a crime of monumental proportions that Lemmy and his mates have not had a #1 album on the Billboard chart (though 1991's 1916 did reach #142). In fact, Mr. Kilminster's biggest chart success came in 2001, when WWF: The Music, Vol. 5 — featuring Motörhead's "The Game," which wrestler Triple H used as his entrance music — sold 176,000 copies and debuted at #2, proving once again that you should never doubt the broad cross-market appeal of Hunter Hearst Helmsley....

First Ladies
By Noah Starr
Written: April 3, 2007
The woman who might be considered the first lady of WWE, Linda McMahon, was in Washington, D.C. last Tuesday evening to present a special World Heavyweight Championship to United States first lady, Laura Bush. Later in the evening, Mrs. Bush was honored with a lifetime achievement award from the USO of Metropolitan Washington.
At a private reception before the start of the annual gala, Mrs. McMahon presented the first lady with the championship which was inscribed, “USO Champ: Laura Bush”. Mrs. Bush has been a long-time supporter of the USO’s efforts and spends countless hours visiting wounded soldiers in military hospitals and stuffing care packages for those serving in the armed forces.
As a proud sponsor of the Care Packages program and all of the USO’s efforts, WWE presents championships to those select few who have gone above and beyond to support the valuable efforts of the USO.
