Timberlake and Kunis Talk 'Friends With Benefits,' Embracing Marine Balls (VIDEO)

Filed under: TV Replay

Mila Kunis and Justin Timberlake are co-starring in the new film 'Friends With Benefits,' and have recently made headlines by accepting invitations to be guests at Marine Balls. As you might imagine, there was no way to avoid double entendre when both of those stories came up during their interview Monday on 'Today' (weekdays, 7AM on NBC).

'Today' anchor Lester Holt, a self-identified married and out-of-touch man, started the interview by asking the pair to explain the meaning of the phrase "friends with benefits." Timberlake joked that he thought it was about borrowing money or sugar. "I'm thinking it's about two people who want to have a regular friendship but to get together for sex," Holt said. Ding ding!

Holt also asked about the invitations extended to both Kunis and Timberlake to attend a Marine Ball. Kunis explained they'd actually be attending two separate balls. "Marines have a lot of balls," she said. Holt suggested the traditional Marine battle cry "Semper Fi" could be replaced by "Marines got balls."

Manny Pacquiao vs. Floyd Mayweather: Why We'd Rather Watch Money May's Upcoming

 

Floyd Mayweather hasn’t fought since defeating Shane Mosley by unanimous decision in May 2010. In June, he announced through his twitter account that he would be returning to the ring against the up and coming Victor Ortiz.

The fight will be for the WBC world championship on September 17 and is a fight certain to entertain boxing fans. The fight everyone is waiting to see is Floyd vs. Manny Pacquiao, but Mayweather/Ortiz  is actually the fight you want to watch.

You should be anticipating this fight because for one, it’s actually set in stone to happen. People can predict wins for both Mayweather and Pacquiao in their upcoming fights so that the two could square off against each other, but that’s way down the road from now.

IF all goes well for both fighters in their matches later this year, the earliest they could possibly meet is spring 2012. That’s a lot of “ifs” and too far down the road to overlook boxing until that fight happens.

The second reason is because Mayweather hasn’t been in the ring since May 2010 and has only fought twice in the last two years. In 2009, he beat Juan Manuel Marquez and then, of course, last year’s fight with Mosley.

Some are starting to whisper about an aging Mayweather and how the young Ortiz has a good chance of beating him. If Mayweather comes out even a little rusty against Ortiz he not only may lose the first couple of rounds, he may even get knocked down because Ortiz has one-punch knockout power.

The third reason to be excited for the Mayweather vs. Ortiz showdown is simply due to the difference in fight styles.

Victor Ortiz is a southpaw, like Pacquiao, which makes people believe Mayweather chose him as a warm up for Pacquiao. Additionally, similar to Pacquiao, Ortiz is a straight forward volume puncher. He throws a lot of punches, chases opponents around the ring relentlessly, and can absorb punches as well.

Mayweather is a counter-puncher who likes to pick his opponents apart as they throw punches at him. He is great at defense, and prefers to punch only when an opportunity presents itself.

Because of Ortiz’ uncanny similarities to Pacquiao, the Mayweather/Ortiz bout will be the closest thing to Mayweather vs. Pacquiao, for now. In the meantime, the Mayweather/Ortiz pay-per-view bout will do more than suffice.

Vanessa Leaves Grayson at the Altar on 'Drop Dead Diva' (VIDEO)

Filed under: TV Replay

Imagine you're at the wedding of a guy you used to date before you died and came back in another body. You still have feelings for him, even as he marries a woman you and he once defended in court. It wasn't exactly your age-old story for Jane on 'Drop Dead Diva' (Sundays, 9PM on Lifetime), but there was a light at the end of the tunnel, so to speak. Vanessa, the bride to be, decided to leave Grayson, the former boyfriend from another life/groom, at the altar on Sunday's episode.

Vanessa sent Jane a text message to meet her on a nearby bridge, where she told Jane what she was doing. And that it had something to do with her. "It's just that you two were so effortless and natural, and it's never been like that for me with him," said Vanessa. Jane told Vanessa she should tell Grayson herself, but she declined and drove off.

Snowball and Pepper Take-on the Treadmill and Hearts Everywhere Smile

Filed under: Videos, Animals

Cats don't need exercise. They're perfect just the way they are. But for some reason these little guys can't help but be totally enthralled with the treadmill. And it makes sense if you think about it. While we might be all motivated, going for the run of our life, getting healthy, getting in shape and buff, to a cat the treadmill is a totally foreign contraption. Humans, on a moving walkway inside the house, huffing and puffing and fighting to walk in place.

So seeing it from Snowball and Pepper's perspectives, it makes complete sense that they would stare and poke and prod with their little furry mittenesque hands. They're simply looking out for our well being.
