One of the most talked about news items the past few weeks has been the Carrie Prejean sex tapes which even earned her an interview on Larry King Live where she managed to make herself look like a bigger idiot than before.
The sex tape craze has been big among D-List celebrities in the past few years and if you were thinking “who cares?” about the Prejean sex tape, here are some that you may have missed… hopefully.

Tom Sizemore
Most people know Tom Sizemore as that guy from that movie but few know that Sizemore (all 300 pounds of him) released a sex tape a few years ago in order to pay his legal and rehab bills prompting all eight people who bought it to go “Ewww.”

Sizemore’s tape did teach us a valuable lesson, though. It doesn’t matter how fat or disgusting you are, if you have money there are countless women who will sleep with you.

Verne Troyer (a.k.a. Mini Me)
Yes, the little guy from Austin Powers made his own sex tape to rival the grossness of the Sizemore tape.

Troyer says that he did not release the tape and it was magically stolen by the guy who released Paris Hilton’s sex tape…because people always rummage through little people’s homes to see if there’s any vids of them banging.

Troyer also taught us a valuable lesson: no matter how tiny or weird looking you are, if you have been on film there are people who will sleep with you.
By the way, way better than the sex tape is the video of Troyer riding his scooter around naked and wasted on some dumb reality show.

Dustin Diamond (a.k.a. Screech)
Diamond is a perfect example of the mentality of a delusional “celebrity.” The guy’s only work since Saved by the Bell was an appearance on Celebrity Boxing and Celebrity Fit Club yet he thinks that a sex tape will send him back to starhood.

Do you know why Kim Kardashian blew up after sex tapes came out? Because she is smoking hot and more importantly a girl. You’re the guy who played Screech.

Chyna/Sean Waltman
After leaving the WWE, Chyna appeared in Playboy and then came out with a sex tape (it was called “One Night in Chyna”…very original) that featured her and former WWE “superstar” Sean Waltman (1-2-3 Kid/X-Pac).

This was the closest that we have seen to a gay celebrity sex tape.

Fred Durst
The fact that Fred Durst is arguably the most famous person on this list makes me sad for our country.

Durst supposedly didn’t release the tape (it was allegedly stolen by a guy who was fixing his computer) and ironically only became more irrelevant after the tape was leaked.

Tonya Harding
This one is my favorite because it was actually sold by Penthouse who though that people would want to see Tonya Harding and her husband having sex.

They were wrong.

LeBron James was recently in the news promoting his campaign to retire the #23 in the NBA in honor of the great Michael Jordan. “His Airness,” LeBron and my favorite Movember supporter Don Mattingly aren’t the only great players who have shared the same number. In fact, #23 is (arguably) not even the greatest number in sports, just take a look at these.

#3: Babe Ruth, Alex Rodriguez, Harmon Killebrew

Babe Ruth is probably the greatest player to ever play the game. Alex Rodriguez wore #3 until he came to the New York Yankees, will in all likelihood end up as the all-time home run leader, and is currently tenth on the all-time home run list.

#8: Cal Ripken Jr., Yogi Bera, Carl Yastrzemski, Joe Morgan, Troy Aikman, Steve Young and Kobe Bryant

Ripken is a two-time MVP, 19 time all-star, two-time gold glover, and first ballot Hall of Famer who played 2,632 games straight. Berra is a 13-time World Series champion, three-time MVP, and 15-time All Star. Yaz is a former MVP, seven-time Gold Glove winner, and 18-time All-Star. Morgan is a back-to-back MVP, two-time World Series Champ, and 10-time All-Star. Quarterbacks Troy Aikman and Steve Young and shooting guard Kobe Bryant also wore #8.

#12- Terry Bradshaw, Tom Brady, Joe Namath

Bradshaw is a four-time Super Bowl champion and former MVP. Brady is three-time Super Bowl Champion, former MVP, and holds the record for most touchdowns in a single season with 50. Namath is a Super Bowl Champion, former two-time AFL MVP, and four-time AFL All-Star with one Pro Bowl selection.

#24: Willie Mays, Rickey Henderson, Manny Ramirez, Ken Griffey Jr.

Mays is also arguably the best player who ever lived, a two-time MVP, World Series champ, 12-time Gold Glover, and 20-time All-Star. Rickey Henderson is the all-time stolen base and runs leader (he also led off more games with a home run than anyone) and a two-time World Series champ, MVP, and ten-time All-Star. Manny is a two-time World Series champion, 12-time All Star, and is currently 15th on the All-Time home run list. Griffey is a former MVP, 13-time All-Star, 10-time Gold Glover and is currently fifth on the All-Time home run list with 630.

#34: Walter Payton, Earl Campbell

Payton is the 2nd leading rusher in NFL history with nearly 17,000 yards and fourth all-time in rushing touchdowns. Campbell doesn’t have the career numbers that Payton had because he peaked early and played only nine years but his first three years in the league were as good as anyone’s. He’s also a five-time Pro Bowler and a Hall of Famer. Nolan Ryan also wore #34 and used his old man strength to beat the crap out of Robin Ventura – oh, he also struck out 5,714 batters, threw 7 no-hitters and an astonishing 12 one-hitters.

#42 Jackie Robinson, Mariano Rivera

This number is forever retired in Major League Baseball because it was worn by Jackie Robinson and until Mariano Riviera retires and goes down at the greatest closer of all-time he will run out of the bullpen with “Enter Sandman” blaring wearing #42.

Part of being a good leader is not taking any sh*t from anybody. You stand your ground, whip the pansies into shape, and get the job done, g*ddamnit! But the flip-side of that mentality is that you’re kind of an asshole. So it goes without saying that pretty much every head coach is a douche, at least a little. But these five winners take the D-bag thing to a whole new level.  (more…)

As marijuana quickly becomes more and more socially acceptable, millions of Americans are beginning to understand the lies that they have been told about pot. Here are the five biggest myths about weed that have prevented any kind of legalization movement from getting on a roll.

1. Marijuana Causes Cancer

Many have said that smoking pot and smoking cigarettes is the same thing and, therefore; marijuana must cause cancer, as well. Not only have countless independent studies disproved this, but some have actually found that marijuana decreased tumor growth by as much as 50%. (Sorry, cigarettes will still kill you.)

2. Marijuana Is Addictive

While prolonged use has shown to leave signs of dependence, marijuana does not actually contain a “nicotine-like” compound that causes it to be addictive. (This is similar to being “addicted” to soda.) There are little to no withdrawal symptoms, especially when compared to the withdrawal effects of drugs like cocaine or heroin – or even an alcohol-induced hangover.

3. Marijuana Is a Gateway Drug

Simply put, numerous studies have unequivocally disproved the idea that using marijuana leads to use of harder drugs. Marijuana has actually successfully been used to reduce hard drug users’ dependence on drugs. So, in reality, it is the exact opposite of a gateway drug.

4. Marijuana Causes Brain Damage

Another myth where the exact opposite thing is true: Not only have studied disproved the idea that marijuana damages your brain, they have found that it actually protects your brain from the damage that heavy drinking can cause.

5. Marijuana Has No Medical Uses

The government has often defended its marijuana policy by citing their own studies that say that marijuana does not have any therapeutic effects. Not true. Aside from the uses listed above, marijuana have been proven to have beneficial effects on people suffering from migraines, glaucoma, AIDS, Multiple Sclerosis, epilepsy, stomach disorders, and dozens of other health problems.

And, most recently, even the American Medical Association called for the government to remove its restrictive Schedule 1 status.
