Pussycat Doll wants to sing Philippine anthem June 10, 2009

MANILA, Philippines —
The half-Filipino lead vocalist for the American pop group Pussycat Dolls says she wants to sing the Philippine national anthem when boxing champion Manny Pacquiao fights again.
U.S.-born Nicole Scherzinger, who is performing with three other members of the band in Manila on Thursday, told ABS-CBN television she has always been a fan of the Filipino boxer.
Junior welterweight champion Pacquiao hand-picks the singer of the national anthem at his bouts. After his latest match with Ricky Hatton in Las Vegas in May, Filipino singer Martin Nievera was criticized in the media for altering the 1898 revolutionary anthem, which by law must be played at a marching tempo.
Pacquiao has not announced whom he will fight next, or who will sing the anthem.

Star Wars “Big Face” Caps June 3, 2009

ABG debuts their Star Wars Big Face line at Lids.com:
Stormtrooper
Boba Fett
Darth Vader
Product Review: Although the effort was made to include detailed stitching and large bold imagery, these are stretch fitted hats which are a complete turn-off to me and to the hundreds of fitted hat connoisseurs around the world. Thus, this stretch fitted by default would make this a kids/youth fashion hat. Wake up, New Era, and release some SW 59Fiftys! Here’s a free idea: make a limited edition Ewok 59Fifty, complete with faux fur! I got other ideas but y’all would have to pay me.

New Super Mario Bros. to see a holiday 2009 release June 2, 2009
Posted by thaswassup in Technology, design, news.add a comment
Nintendo kicked off their E3 2009 press conference with the announcement of The New Super Mario Bros. Wii, afour-player co-operative take on classic 2D Mario gameplay.
It was almost a perfect surprise, but close enough. The New Super Mario Bros. Wii combines the classic 2D gameplay of the original Super Mario Bros. with four-player co-operative play to create a new Mario experience. Remember watching your friends play the game on the NES? Imagine being able to join in, with a scaling screen. It’s like four swords, but with 2D Mario!
The New Super Mario Bros. Wii will be available this Holiday season.
