The actress, who was previously engaged to actor Brian Austin Green, appears to have her sights set on someone a little more Timberlake-esque.

"Oh I don't know. There is this Korean Justin Timberlake named Rain," Megan told the paper when asked who she would like to go out with next, adding, "And I'm really on his situation now. I'm trying to fix this up. I'm working hard."

As previously reported on Access Hollywood.com, it might not be a man who winds up the object of Megan's affection in her next relationship.

"I think people are born bisexual and then make subconscious choices based on the pressures of society. I have no question in my mind about being bisexual," Megan told Esquire's June issue. "But I'm also a hypocrite: I would never date a girl who was bisexual, because that means they also sleep with men, and men are so dirty that I'd never want to sleep with a girl who had slept with a man.

VB GAME ON: Tiger Woods PGA Tour 10 Review

 

Tiger Woods PGA Tour 10 Review--

Videogames based on golf have often been viewed as, to mangle a phrase, a good walk through a virtual world spoiled. Connecting with your virtual golfers has often been as hard for gamers as understanding the sport itself. With Tiger Woods PGA Tour moving to the Wii, EA has tried to make the connection by replicating the golfing action through the Wii mote. Good presentation and a lofty cast of golfers can only take you so far when the controls are not up to par. But this is the year everything changes with the introduction of the Wii Motion Plus, a device aiming to put the swing back into golf.

Swing Away

Tiger Woods PGA Tour 10 WiiIf there was one resounding complaint about the Tiger Woods of yesteryear, it was the fact that the controls were not nearly as responsive as they should have been for this sports title. EA saw a good idea in implementing the swing mechanics into the Wii mote. But any gamer worth his swing can tell you that the Wii just doesn’t have the delicate touch you need to sink a shot.   Most of your interactions boiled down to an all-or-nothing deal. You either hit your swing or fell short. For a golf game that requires you not just to hit the driving distance of every club but also every range in between, this handicaps the player into focusing on extremes rather than developing a strategy. I mean, would you play a football game where you could only throw Hail Marys?

Wii Motion Plus finally brings that delicate touch to Tiger Woods PGA Tour 10. Pull back on your mote and your virtual self takes the cue. Instead of focusing on just getting the ball there, players look at placing the ball for that next golden shot. For more experienced players, you can take the training wheels off (the All-Play mode from last year) and really try to get into the swing of things. Besides judging the course and knowing your clubs, you’ll need to hit that swing dead on. A simple twist of the wrist will send the ball into the rough. That amount of realism can be a bit too much when you do don’t have the weight of the club behind every shot. Even for the weekend golfer, there’s a learning curve behind every swing.

This isn’t real golf and it will never be real golf. You are still some guy standing in his house swinging away with a piece of plastic at a TV. But just as Rock Band doesn’t really teach you to play the guitar, Tiger Woods PGA Tour 10 focuses more on replicating the experience than getting a club in your hand. Courses, players, the atmosphere, and even the strategy behind the Scottish sport are all presented in this package. The success of the game is measured in sinking that twenty foot putt and feeling as though you’ve accomplished something great.

On the Fairway

Tiger Woods PGA Tour 10 WiiMore than just a swing sim, Tiger Woods 10 brings everything from last year with a few extras to really put you there on the green. Graphics haven’t changed all that much from the previous installment, but that doesn’t mean you should skip over the lush green fairways or the often blue horizon. The player’s animations are remarkably crisp for a Wii title. Don’t expect photorealistic Tiger Woods here. If there was a putt that came up short, it would be the fans around the course. All four of five polygons will be cheering you on as you tee off. As long as you keep your eye on the ball, you won’t notice a thing.

You’ll notice some new faces and new places this time around. Added to the rooster of courses, Tiger Woods 10 adds in seven new courses from the pristine Bethpage Black, home of this year’s U.S. Open, to the legendary Pinehurst. The Wii Weather Channel will even adjust the forecast to match the fairway because sometimes even the pros have to play in the rain. Scott Van Pelt and Kelly Tilghman give their color commentary and this time you might even want to listen. Every hole is presented with an overview of tips and tactics for those unfamiliar with the green. The game’s display can even be customized on the fly to give you as much or as little information as you need as you practice your swing. And if all else fails, you can simply save at any point of a tournament for when real life needs you to tee up.

The career mode is back, allowing you to design your own virtual self and take him through the pains of becoming a pro. With every tournament, you can win some money for better equipment or score points for your character to improve any number of traits from power to plain old luck. It’s this single player experience that will have you coming back for more as you work your way through the tournament circuits and compete for sponsorship that unlocks more clothes and clubs. And if your thirst for blood cannot be quenched with the AI, you could always take on some real golfers.

Forming the group

Tiger Woods PGA Tour 10 WiiThis year, EA is taking the game online with some new twists. Along with last year’s online options, you can compete in weekly and monthly tournaments for some of that fake cash to buy that fake shirt that you always wanted. When a tournament’s playing somewhere around the world, you can shine up your virtual clubs to take them online. Tiger Woods 10 broadcasts the scores and will even put you right in the action as you take on the greats in your little virtual world. Sure, it’s not going to impress the caddies at the clubhouse, but it’s another way EA tries to blur the line between reality and fantasy.

Disk golf makes an appearance, but it’s hard to understand why. It’s a lot like putting a grass cutting simulator into a football game. If anything, the disk golf games do a better job demonstrating the power of Wii Motion Plus. You can see the one-to-one movements right on screen. You play on the same courses that you’ll golf on – no college campus nor bikers to avoid. Along the same lines, some of the mini-games also feel out of place. While we all enjoyed driving around in golf carts, some of the longer games (at times taking up to five or ten minutes) clearly stretch the use of the word “mini.” None of this takes away from the solid golf presentation but is disappointing when we try to get others involved.

Tee up!

While Tiger may falter on extras, this golf game finally takes that step promised by so many EA marketing meetings – the experience of golf without the green fees. Tiger Woods PGA Tour 10 may not be actual golf, but it has enough of the presentation, color commentary, familiar surroundings, and strategy behind this often misunderstood game to warm the hearts of the most cynical of golfers. Beginners may, for the first time, actually want to take a swing at the real sport having only a taste for the basics. It may not be for everyone, but Tiger Woods 10 will have you itching to throw on a green jacket and some plaid pants after a couple of swings.

Captain America Gets Reborn

By  ERIN CARLSON

Captain America is rising from the grave.

The Marvel Comics superhero returns for the five-part series "Captain America Reborn," beginning July 1.

But Marvel won't disclose how he rises from the dead. Executive Editor Tom Brevoort teases that the character has been "on a Vonnegut-esque metaphysical journey," including some soul-searching about his place in the world.

"He hasn't just been lying in a cold grave for these many months," Brevoort says. "While he seems to be dead, his mind and his spirit" are active elsewhere.

Captain America, the superhero alter ego of Steve Rogers, was apparently shot and killed two years ago on the steps of a courthouse in lower Manhattan. He was buried at Arlington National Cemetery.

Rogers' sidekick Bucky Barnes took his place, continuing the series. Brevoort says Barnes will embark on a quest to revive Rogers after tracking down what really happened to him.

"There's definitely a question that must arise, which is `Can there be more than one Captain America?'" says Brevoort. "And if not, even if there can't, what does this mean for Bucky? Where does he fit in the world now?"

According to Brevoort, some Bucky fans are none too pleased.

"Right this second, it's kind of a split," he says. "When Steve was first killed, there was great outcry. But then as Bucky has taken over as Cap, and has sort of struggled to fill those big shoes, a lot of our readers have really taken to him as a character."

He says Marvel planned to bring back Rogers in one shape or form and, given the general mood of the country, the timing seemed right to resurrect one of the comic book empire's most patriotic icons.

"It feels like there's a desire for hopefulness," he says. "A desire for heroes and for somebody to show us that we can be our better selves, and to help pull us all up by our bootstraps and get out of the situations that we find ourselves in.

Work 50 Jobs in 50 States

By  JONIDA SHEGANI

Having trouble finding your niche or what to do for the rest of your life? Why not take a road trip across the 50 states in search for your dream job. That’s what Daniel Seddiqui is doing. His mission: Working 50 jobs, in 50 states, in 50 weeks.

Seddiqui started his journey in August 2008. And so far, he’s been to 38 states in his long expedition to find a job and to prove there are jobs available in the U.S.

Monday, Seddiqui will be in Wilmington, Del., working at a law firm company. Next week he will be in Lancaster, Pa., working as furniture builder in Amish country.

Seddiqui graduated with an economics degree from University of Southern California in 2005, and like most college graduates didn’t have any luck finding a job. 

After applying to thousands of jobs and failing more than 40 interviews, he decided to take control of his destiny in search of finding the perfect job.

When he was a kid, Seddiqui only imagined what it would be like to live in all 50 states and he finally decided to make his dream a reality by “living the map,” he told the Christian Post.

The 26-year-old will travel cross-country and work 50 different jobs in 50 states for one week.

“Basically, all the failures I’ve had in life have led me up to this project to work 50 jobs in 50 states in 50 weeks,” he told Kolnkgin of Nebraska.

Seddiqui who grew up in Los Altos, Calif., sought this opportunity to explore the U.S., learn different cultures and to have a deep understanding of what people do, he told the Christian Post. 

“My goal is to help Americans understand each other’s lives, respect each other’s hard work and stimulate people’s curiosity about different lifestyles,” he said on his Web site living the map.

To list just a few jobs he has done, his been a wedding planner in Vegas, a model in North Carolina, a meat packer in Kansas, a stockbroker in New York, and a Rodeo Announcer in North Dakota.

Seddiqui’s ultimate goal is to write a book when he finishes his journey and talk about his many experiences.

"Now [that] I went out and did this. I feel like I can do anything," he told New York Daily News.

Ever since Seddiqui started this voyage, he has made many television appearances such as the Today Show and CNN

Harold Ramis: 'Ghostbusters 3' Will Be A Passing Of The Baton To New Generation

Harold Ramis, along with "Year One" screenwriters Lee Eisenberg and Gene Stupnitsky, who also write for NBC's "The Office," are hard at work on the first draft of the screenplay for "Ghostbusters 3."

But the actor/director/writer told Access Hollywood the movie – which is slated to introduce a whole new generation of Ghostbusters – will only be made if the script is good.

"There's a story that I wrote with my co-writer's on this film, Lee Eisenberg and Gene Stupnitsky. The studio has commissioned the screenplay," Harold recently told Access while promoting his new comedy "Year One." "All the principals (himself, Sigourney Weaver, Bill Murray, Harold Ramis and Ernie Hudson) have said they're in, if we get a good screenplay."

Though a script is in the works, a movie in the theaters is not a sure thing. Harold wants the third movie to live up to its predecessors.

"But, we're all reserving judgment," he continued. "There's no reason to do it if it's not good."

And though Dan Aykroyd recently said that he hopes stars such as Alyssa Milano and Eliza Dushku sign on to join the ghost-fighting team's second-generation squad, Harold said casting is a long way off.

"We want to introduce new Ghostbusters," he explained. "I think [Dan] was just throwing out examples of the kind of people who could be in the film."

Adding, "Hopefully the story will feel enough like the old one to revive and sustain people's interests, but new enough to deliver some surprises."

It is a long established fact that a reader will be distracted by the readable content of a page when looking at its layout. The point of using Lorem Ipsum is that it has a more-or-less normal distribution of letters, as opposed to using 'Content here, content here', making it look like readable English. Many desktop publishing packages and web page editors now use Lorem Ipsum as their default model text, and a search for 'lorem ipsum' will uncover many web sites still in their infancy. Various versions have evolved over the years, sometimes by accident, sometimes on purpose (injected humour and the like).

There are many variations of passages of Lorem Ipsum available, but the majority have suffered alteration in some form, by injected humour, or randomised words which don't look even slightly believable. If you are going to use a passage of Lorem Ipsum, you need to be sure there isn't anything embarrassing hidden in the middle of text.

Going Bald? Get Your Head Tattooed

A British firm is taking a disturbingly permanent solution to hair loss to the States

By  MARIE C. BACA

Toupees. The combover. Now, a head tattoo? If a UK company has its way, men suffering from hair loss will turn to needles and ink to mask their baldness.

Birmingham, England-based HiStyl uses what it describes as "a mild form of medical tattooing" to simulate the look of shaved or closely cropped hair.  The company announced via its blog that representatives will travel to San Francisco and Florida this summer to market the technique.   

The procedure, which HiStyl calls "hair follicle replication," takes three hours to complete and requires an additional follow-up session. Clients shave or cut their hair in order to blend the tattoos with their natural follicles. 

The company says that the earliest American procedures will take place between July 20 and August 5.

Would you go for this hair cure? Leave your thoughts in the comments.

Hunt On For Million Dollar Mattress

Israeli woman got new bed for mom, didn't know savings was in the old one

An Israeli woman mistakenly threw out a mattress with $1 million inside, setting off a frantic search through tons of garbage at a number of landfill sites, Israeli media reported Wednesday.

The woman told Army Radio that she bought her elderly mother a new mattress as a surprise on Monday and threw out the old one, only to discover that her mother had hidden her life savings inside. She was identified only as Anat, a resident of Tel Aviv.

When she went to look for the mattress it had already been taken by garbage men, she said. Subsequent searches at three different landfill sites turned up nothing.

The Israeli daily Yediot Ahronot published a picture of the woman searching through garbage at a dump in southern Israel.

The Israeli daily Yediot Ahronot published a picture of the woman searching through garbage at a dump in southern Israel.

Yitzhak Borba, the dump manager, told the radio station that his staff was helping the woman, saying she appeared "totally desperate." He said the mattress was hard to find among the 2,500 tons of garbage arriving at the site every day.

He said he increased security at the site to keep would-be treasure hunters at bay.

For her part, Anat said it could be worse. "People have to take everything in proportion and thank God for the good and the bad," she said.
