Weekend Update... This Time w/ Tina Fey, and Jimmy Fallon!



Sports

-Tons of great NBA moments this weekend. Instead of linking to each individual game I am just going to provide the link to NBA.com's Playoff Section. Quick highlights from the weekend, Derrick Rose leads the Bulls past the Celtics. The Sixers stun the Magic in Orlando with a last second shot. Miami gets blown out by Atlanta. Chauncey Billups makes everything to lead Denver to a victory, and I refuse to mention anything that may or may not have happened Sunday afternoon at the Staples Center.

-Mark Martin turned left better than everyone else yesterday in Phoenix. Apparently this is a big deal because he is old. Senior Citizens everywhere can now rejoice.

Entertainment

-The Screen Actor's Guild is ready to recommend a new contract to its members. The tentative deal still needs to be voted on by the members of the Guild, but if it is approved it will end the threat of Hollywood's actors going on strike later this year.

-Zac Efron is the king of the box office this weekend. His new movie 17 Again, captured the crown at the box office. The movie brought in $24.1 million according to studio estimates. State of Play came in 2nd place with $14.1 million.

-For what it's worth I watched State of Play yesterday and thought it was fantastic. Maybe one too many plot twists at the end, but definitely worth the money.

News

-Today marks the 10th anniversary of the tragedy at Columbine High School in Colorado. I can still remember leaving my Jr. High School and having my friends little sister telling me all about what happened. My thoughts are with the families of all those effected by the shootings a decade ago.

-Miss North Carolina, Kristen Dalton, was crowned Miss USA last night. Sadly I can say that I knew this from watching the show with my wife last night. I will now hand in my man card.

As usual there was some controversy from the pageant as Miss California honestly answered a questions about gay marriage. There is some question as to whether or not she cost herself a chance at the crown with her answer. Ohhhhh the drama!
