Shiba Inu Puppy Cam Puts The D'aww In Monday
Okay, guys, brace yourselves: it's Monday. That means we drag ourselves from the cozy warmth of our cocoon-like beds and proceed through the special torture that is putting on pants, drinking disgusting coffee and sitting in traffic for hours just to be confronted with days worth of "urgent" emails.But there is one thing to be happy about this Monday and that's Shiba Inu puppy cam. After all, who cares about all those emails, the impending meetings, or the four (four!) days left of this agony as long as there is a squirming pile of adorable one-week-old wrinkly puppies to stare at in real time. Go ahead, pretend you're studying that expense report and take a peek. The cuteness is almost too good to be true.

Pia Toscano Talks Life After 'American Idol,' Unveils New Song
Filed under: American Idol, Features
Toscano was a true contender on 'Idol,' hitting the highest notes with ease. But rather than fulfilling what many felt to be her destiny, the singer shocked the nation and judges Jennifer Lopez, Randy Jackson, and Steven Tyler when she was unexpectedly given the boot halfway through the season. However, all is not lost for this makeup-artist-turned-singing-sensation, as she recently signed with Jimmy Iovine's Interscope records. And with the recent release of single 'This Time,' we're sure Pia is well on her way to becoming a pop music mainstay. AOL Music spoke to the singer about her current tour, upcoming album and the current state of her love life.

'Rango' Exclusive Clip: Somebody's Poisoned The Watering Hole
So, I just saw "Rango" for the first time this week, and I have to say ?�favorite Johnny Depp performance ever? Maybe not quite that far, but pretty darn close. Depp provides the voice (and got physically in character) for the central chameleon in Gore Verbinski's animated debut, and it ruins nothing to say that [...]

WWE Money in the Bank 2011 Reults: Live Coverage of CM Punk's Last WWE PPV
The time has come, and it's all over but the potential overbooking as the WWE looks to write-off the latest immensely talented star who has decided he wants to move on.
CM Punk has made no bones about the fact that he is leaving the WWE out of an unfortunate combination of frustration and burnout, and although he has already delivered on his promise of going out with a bang, tonight's WWE Money in the Bank main event will likely contain a finale that will keep the wrestling world abuzz for years.
The shoddy 2.9 rating for the go-home show of RAW is far from a promising sign for a pay-per-view that has generated as much, and perhaps more, main stream buzz and intrigue as WrestleMania 27. However, the build-up to Punk-Cena has brought out some of the best mic work from both WWE Superstars. The Chavo Guerreros of the world who fear for a typical Super Cena comeback match shall fear not. The Chicago crowd just will not allow such lazy booking to go down and the WWE knows it.
Punk and Cena have created an environment where the otherwise scintillating Money in the Bank matches, for which the pay-per-view was named after, take a backseat. However, while we are on the subject, Alberto Del Rio seems to be all but a lock to win the RAW Money in the Bank, while Wade Barrett has risen to the top of the heap as the sexy pick to win the SmackDown MITB match in a host of preview pieces.
I'm still sticking with Sheamus.
Follow Big Nasty on Twitter @ThisIsNasty to see where he and his Bleacher Report Money in the Bank briefcase will go next.

Wladimir Klitschko Is WBA 'Super' Champion:How Many Different Titles Are Needed?
Wladimir Klitschko defeats the WBA Heavyweight Champion David Haye and you would be right in thinking that he takes the WBA Heavyweight title strap. But the WBA has other ideas. Wladimir Klitschko is now the WBA 'Super' Champion and there will be a fight for the regular WBA Heavyweight Title belt.
Confused? I don't blame you.
The Klitschko brothers are superb boxers and worthy champions in their division. But one of the biggest problems (which is killing boxing) is the amount of boxing titles available.
The four recognised major bodies are the WBA, WBC, WBO and IBF. There are other minor bodies including the IBO and WBF.
Ring Magazine has its own boxing titles but more importantly offers pound-for-pound rankings which are considered by many to be definitive.
The WBA (World Boxing Association) is the oldest organisation, formed in 1963. The WBC (World Boxing Council) formed shortly afterwards in 1963. The IBF (International Boxing Federation) and WBO (World Boxing Organisation) followed in 1983 and 1988, respectively. All four bodies are recognised by the International Boxing Hall of Fame.
The problem for years has been which fighter can claim to be the legitimate world champion for their weight class.
For the public, it can be confusing to know who really is the "champ." The general public and boxing fans are turning to MMA because of the simple title structure they hold for each class. For example in UFC, Cain Velasquez is the Heavyweight Champion. Simple and easy.
Ring Magazine tried to help in 2002 by reintroducing a title that can only be won either by defeating the reigning champion or by winning a boxing match between their No. 1 and No. 2 ranked fighters. The fighter can only lose the Ring title by being defeated, moving to a different weight class or retiring. It sounds good in principle but with four other titles available, the good idea gets lost.
The biggest problem is the amount of titles one organisation can award.
The WBA has been the worst offender. As an example, the WBA Lightweight division has Juan Manuel Marquez as "Super Champion," Brandon Rios as champion and Robert Guerrero as "Interim" Champion. How many champions are needed?
It may be argued that Rios may be unable to fight Guerrero due to illness or other circumstances and this requires the awarding of an interim title until the fight can be arranged. But why bother? The WBA could simply sanction the fight without awarding a title until Rios is ready. If he fails to fight for no good reason, he should be stripped of his title.
The "Interim" system has been open to abuse for years. The most blatant example is that of WBC Flyweight Champion Pongksaklek Wonjonkam who held the title for six years. Jorge Arca was named "interim" champion during that time but the fight never materialised. Arca would defend the "interim" title four times before giving up on fighting Wonjonkam and moving up a weight class.
The idea of a "Super Champion" also holds little point other than awarding a special belt for being recognised as holding other versions of a specific weight class title.
If we are to have separate boxing organisations, the time really has come to simply matters and sort things out once and for all. With MMA quickly overtaking boxing in popularity, something has to be done in connection with the award of title belts.
It's pretty simple—one championship belt per organisation for each weight class.
But to be honest, there needs only to be one champion per weight division.
