Iron Man Teaser Trailer. Looks totally badass, but then all these trailers do.

Somewhere, Kevin Federline is laughing. An out-of-shape, out-of-touch Britney Spears delivered what was destined to be the most talked-about performance of the MTV Video Music Awards — but for all the wrong reasons. “Kicking off the show Sunday night with her new single, “Gimme More,” Spears looked bleary and unprepared, much like her recent tabloid exploits on the streets of Los Angeles. She walked through her dance moves with little enthusiasm. It appeared she had forgotten the entire art of lip-synching. And, perhaps most unforgivable given her once-taut frame, she looked embarrassingly out of shape. Even the celebrity-studded audience seemed bewildered. 50 Cent looked at Spears with a confused expression; Diddy, her new best friend, was expressionless. Some comeback.” Comedy GOLD!

Indianapolis 500 winner (and now IndyCar Champion) Dario Franchitti will become the latest open-wheel star to make the jump to NASCAR. It is reported that Franchitti will sign with Chip Ganassi Racing to drive the No. 40 Dodge beginning in 2008.

World renowned tenor Luciano Pavarotti has died at his home in the northern Italian city of Modena. The singer, who was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer last year, was 71.

Maneggs. A series of “munchkin” webcomics from Tom Bland, a deranged mind with a wacom tablet.

Officials at Nepal’s state-run airline have sacrificed two goats to appease Akash Bhairab, the Hindu sky god, following technical problems with one of its Boeing 757 aircraft. Mechanics? Who needs mechanics if you’ve got a couple of goats?

NFL TV distribution maps. Ever wondered what games are showing in your area (and what games you might be missing out on)? Updated throughout the week leading up to Sunday

Did you know there was a flight simulator built into Google Earth? It’s a little hard to control, but pretty fun none the less…

A love letter to Southern football. “I love how people who get it are standing up in their office chairs right now ready to get it on and people who don’t are scratching their heads and wondering what in the hell is wrong with these rednecks.” That, my friends, is what they call “truth.”

10th anniversary of Diana’s death marked. Maybe I’m in the minority here, but I didn’t care then and I especially don’t care now… I just find the whole near canonisation of her memory to be, frankly, shit. Funny how her son called her “the best mother in the world,” I guess he forgets she died while out partying in Paris with her boyfriend while he was back in the UK with the rest of the Royal Family, thats motherly behaviour right there…

Rangers are handed a tough draw in this years Champions League. Barcelona, Lyon and Stuttgart, I wouldn’t be betting on any European football after Christmas…

After 31 years, the Braves will no longer be shown on TBS. The last game is on September 30th, an away game at Houston, it will probably be meaningless as they are currently 7 games out of the NL East and 4 out of the NL Wild Card, stranger things have happened though.

Michael Vick’s lawyer said Monday the NFL star will plead guilty to federal dogfighting conspiracy charges, putting the Atlanta Falcons quarterback’s career in jeopardy and leaving him subject to a prison term. That’s Vick’s career now officially done… No one will want anything to do with him now, In fact I bet more people will be knocking down Marcus Vick’s door than Michael’s, and that’s not a lot.

Dominos launches Pizza by TXT service in the UK. Dangerous, that’s all I can say…

A bevy of British actors, most sporting American accents, are being yanked across the pond and into US prime time this fall. I can’t believe freaking Zoe Slater is now the Bionic Woman, or Tommy from Trainspotting is now a time traveling journalist (I though he died of toxoplasmosis). I blame Bertie Wooster for playing a very convincing doctor… And let’s not get back into Cat Deely…
