Selena Gomez and Justin Bieber still friends

Tonight in Toronto it was the end of Selena's 8 city in 10 days which started in BC and ended in Toronto and the story was not how can the lighting being fixed as I was blinded by the light or how the music overpowered youth Selena's wonderful voice but that it was Bieber who showed up during the concert to pick her up after the concert. When the homeless guy mentioned that Justin Bieber had shown up in his little car to pick her up I simply just laughed it off and just that it was a simply silly that he show up and felt the same as the ladies handing out popsicles as they just wondered why in the world he would be picking up Selena. It is very clear that they are still friends but it looks like Selena just want to move on and has buried her head in her work which for the next three month as she tours the US and Europe playing 43 shows so she will have no time to try and keep Bieber out of trouble as she works her butt off for 90 minutes and then hit the road to the next city. Her schedule is very ambitious task that an indy band trying to find their way into the big time or get their music out to masses but it is commendable especially when BFF simply goes to a city for the weekend and then go back to LA to hang with friends. So Selena is going to take off the next week before starting next Friday in Denmark as she starts a 17 city 27 day tour that will go to London, Germany, and finish in Moscow, Russia. So what will she be doing during her time off she does have the MTV music awards tomorrow and she does have a movie coming out on Friday with Ethan Hawke and will likely have a movie premiere and talking about the movie before getting a plane and heading to Denmark to start the second leg of her tour. So she still hanging out with Justin so she likes be friends with him and is a very well grounded lady which is the opposite of Justin who has his own place and has friends (the yes crew) which is not the best thing for him as he faints on stage (partying to hard), car problems (driving to fast and getting on the wrong side of his neighbors), getting on the bad side of his own fans (brushing them off, showing up way late). So Selena is good for Justin as she can be the only person to keep him in check as he seems to like Selena and being around her takes away from his negatives and puts him in a better light. So Selena leaving her concert was mobbed by her fans along side Justin and took control of the situation by going into the mob and kissed babies, signed autographs, took pictures, and shook hands for at least a good 10 minutes with out blinking an eye if not longer as traffic was at a stop and not moving at all and the crowd was still there when my ride was able to break through the traffic. They are only friends because if they are more than that will not mention it as she wants to keep her private life PRIVATE and that will be really hard but she is really smart Tom Mehegan

Sylvester Stallone needs fans help to get his next movie off the ground

Yes that Sylvester Stallone who has done 6 Rocky movies and 3 Rambo movies which all put together made billions and that is only 9 of his movie credits over his 40-plus years of making movies is actually asking fans to donate to his next movie Reach Me. This absolutely silly as trying to raise money through donation is an absolutely indy movie that would likely be made for maybe 50,000 but no more than 100,000 and with a guy like Stallone doing the movie it not a movie that needs fans to help pay the bills. So it is been done after a major investor bailed on the movie so the cast has been making little to nothing and that is why they are looking for fans help to finish the movie. They have raised 20,000 dollars so far with the incentive for donating is signed copies of script, visits on set, and even meeting the cast. So new director John Herzfeld who came in after the investor bailed has decided to go to Kickstarter.com and have them set up a fund for the movie to boost the actors sprits and Stallone has stepped up and did a video to support the cause. So Stallone if he really was confidence he would put up whatever money is needed to keep the strive actors get what they need to make ends meet til the movie is released and to say that Stallone would have this money would be an understatement as there is no way he could of blown all of that money he has made in his long career and he allowing things going in this direction does nothing for his image. So Stallone in reach me is a former sports coach turned writer writing a self help book and it maybe not very good a.k.a. the investor bailing but with a low budget and Stallone in it could easily make the money back and if Stallone as an investor he would make his money back as he could get ticket sales of half a mil which would be way enough to cover expenses. Him putting his own money into the project would give him a huge boost in his reputation and it really look good on the 67 year old. Stallone looks really silly allowing the money to go in this direction Tom Mehegan

WWE's Darren Young announces he is gay

Darren Young who is a wrestler in the WWE who does not get a lot of TV time and is an after sight in the tag team with Titus O'Neil came out of the closet as a TMZ reporter went up to Los Angeles airport and asked him if a gay wrestler could be successful in the WWE and Young decided on the spot that would be a good time to announce that he was a gay wwe wrestler. So the positives of this story is that it would be a positive role model for young wrestling fans who are still confused with their sexuality or our gay themselves. The WWE has done the only thing they could by getting behind Young with positive tweets from the bosses (Stephanie McMahon and triple H) and the top dog John Cena. So negatives of the story will be what happens to him around the other wrestlers and they may not take it well and he maybe turned into a odd man out and he may lose some wrestling friends and he may be split from Titus O'Neil which would put his wrestling in jeopardy. Then there is mystery of the story as there was a gay tag team back in the day called Chuck and Billy and it was a publicity stunt that blow up in their face and this maybe his way to get more attention and more airtime and a bigger star and a bigger spot on the roster and get into a title picture. It will be interesting if they get behind him and "push" him or they "bury" him and he gets his best in future endeavored and he goes indy circuit. It may be a good day for the wrestling universe or another black eye for the universe depending on the way the WWE writers take his story line but if it was me I would let Young play a baby face wrestler and give him a "push" and give the fans a chance to get behind him if they want to. If they do the WWE should just get behind the fans like they did with CM Punk and Daniel Bryant instead of burying him like a fan favorite in Zach Ryder. It will be interesting time for Darren Young Tom Mehegan

The Wayne Gretzky trade 25 years later

August 9, 1988 when I was at a Christian camp and hear that the LA Kings had just traded for one of greatest hockey player's in NHL history in the great one Wayne Gretzky I was a dumb founded 11 year old. It would be a money deal as Peter Pocklington, the owner of the Oilers at the time, had run into money trouble and went to a guy named Bruce Mcnall who would be a crook but at the time was the owner of the Kings looking for 15 million dollars and getting it. He was traded with Marty McSorley and centre Mike Krushelnyski for Martin Gelinas, 3 first round draft picks ('89,'91, and '93) and rhe guy that the Oilers felt would be the great replacement Jimmy Carson (he could not live it down). It turned out to be the darkest day in Hockey as it was the end of hockey innocent as it ended up leading the first million dollar in the NHL along side Mario Lemieux with the Penguins and it would open up the flood gates for hickey which is not the bad. The impact of the deal would be felt over the next decade and not in a good way with the San Jose Sharks ('91), Phoenix Coyates ('96),Anaheim Mighty Ducks ('93), Colorado Avalanche ('95), Dallas Stars ('93), Nashville Predators ('98), Carolina Hurricanes ('97), Florida Panthers ('93), Tampa Bay Lightening ('92), and the dead Atlanta Thrashers ('99-2011) all joining the NHL and becoming black holes (not all the same size some smaller than others). Some people made it rich with the money grab of the NHL in the owner of the Hartford Whalers who sold the team to Carolina, the owner of the original Winnipeg Jets who sold it to Phoenix, and the owner of the Quebec Nordics who sold it to Colorado but any and every other owner has either had one of the warmer place teams in the south and California and have lost multiply shirts or the richer franchises who have to throw good money after bad to keep the teams a float. This did not have to be a black day for hockey because it is not very well known but has been reported over the bunch of years that Harold Ballard and had been talked to by Peter Puck before the Kings came into the picture and was offered to flop rosters so the Oilers would be playing out of Maple Leaf Gardens as Leafs and the Leafs would go west and become Oilers and the richest franchise in the NHL would likely have that Stanley guy stay a while but Harold got cold feet and Stanley still has not made a visit since '67. The Vancouver Canucks sniffing around the situation around the same time as the Kings were and no matter which was it all went it would of been nice to keep the NHL and Gretzky Canadian. The saddest part is one of the best players in hockey in Wayne Gretzky has disowned the NHL and it is all about one of those black holes and actually the biggest one in Phoenix because someone owes him millions and millions of dollars for his coaching career with the Coyotes. His daughter Paula Gretzky is getting a tone more attention than the great one and all for the wrong reasons (her body) and his son while son Trevor is a baseball player in the Chicago Cubs system and no doubt be a future Jays player. Please can someone get the great one back in hockey he is missed Tom Mehegan

mlb doing the Yankees dirty work

Major League Baseball is going hard after A-rod (Alex Rodriguez) by trying to get him out of baseball until the 2015 season and it all because they really want to help the Yankees after they have been pumping millions of millions dollars into the pockets of the other owners for decades. So they have been paying the luxury tax that puts money into the lower budget teams while their fans walk into other stadium and drop their hard earn money into the pockets of one of the other 29 owners in the majors. The thing here is that the Yankees want A-rod suspended so they do not have to pay him 25 million dollars for the 2014 season and if they could of gotten out from under the last 86 mil and the last four seasons of the contract for a guy who is a shell of his former self as he is broken and the production has falling off completely as he has 34 homers and 119 RBIs over the last three seasons as he has not played a game until tonight (August 5, 2013) in Chicago. The Yankees and A-rod are perfect together as they are both completely into themselves as A-rod does not care about his former wife as he just strut his stuff in downtown Toronto on the streets with his arms around strippers which was final act of his marriage even though he had been going behind her back with lots of other ladies of the night. He became an anti-hero when him and his former agent Scott Boras got the Texas Rangers to give A-rod a 10 year - 252 million dollar deal when they made up rumors about the New York Mets wanting him when it was only the Rangers bidding against themselves and became a mega anti-hero when he became a Yankee and saying mine as he went around third base as a runner and Blue Jay Howie Clark back away from the ball and it dropped to the turf and three runs scored. The Yankees could of just let the contract run out after the 2007 season when A-rod and his agent opted out of the last three seasons of his contract and when A-rod realized that nobody wanted him and he fired his agent and went crawling back to the Yankees and got them to top of his contract and he ended up getting a 10-year 275 million dollar deal. They did this not because they liked him or were trying to be a nice boss but because he had a chance to break Barry Bonds career home run record and were looking at the money that a home run chase would bring in so they just looked the other way when he was first caught in PEDs and just put their heads in the sand and looked the other way as he kept taking more PEDs as he marched to the home run record. So as soon as they realized he was not worth the paper his contract was written on and was unable to break the record they wanted nothing to do with him. So MLB is run by Bud Selig who when baseball was all juiced up and look the other way as McGwire/sosa home run single season record chase that saved baseball after the 1994 strike but bud got his guy in Ryan Braun just before he leaves Tom Mehegan
