I am a huge hockey fan and watched much of the NHL season and LOVED the playoffs, but let’s face it…..hockey really hasn’t ever picked up much steam here in America. It has always been dwarfed by bigger, more popular leagues like the NBA and NFL. Recently, that changed a little bit…
Game 6 between the Chicago Blackhawks and the Philadelphia Flyers was a close one but the Blackhawks ended up taking the cup with an overtime goal by forward Patrick Kane. The win marked a great end to the Blackhawk’s season and a drought of nearly 49 years since Chicago had taken the Stanley Cup home.
It also was the highest rated Stanley Cup match in 36 years. Execs revealed that this year’s final match was even up 41% in viewership from last year’s final between Detroit and Pittsburgh.
Does this mean that the NHL is picking up viewers and popularity? Only next season will show if the numbers will hold up during the regular season…..and I, as a fan, hope they do!
The third installment of the revamped Batman series might not come out until July 2012, but there is certainly a lot of gossip that has been flying around concerning who will play what part in the highly anticipated sequel to Dark Knight.
Most of the rumors deal with who will play the Riddler in the movie (if they even use the Riddler). First, it was rumored that Johnny Depp would play the role. Then, a tip way out of left field promised that Eddie Murphy would be the next villian in green (personally, I really hope this doesn’t happen…the Nutty Professor? Really?). And this week there has been another spin on the gossip…Joseph Gordon-Levitt has been added to the list of possible riddlers.
You might know Levitt from the recent (500) Days of Summer or might have seen him as a regular on the 90s sitcom 3rd Rock From the Sun. Levitt has been working with Christopher Nolan, the Batman director, on his recent film Inception (which looks great, I might add) and apparently Nolan loved working with him.
I would take this news with a grain of salt, though, since we’ve already seen how rapidly the news has changed over the past year. The script for the next Batman hasn’t even been written yet so there will be a lot more gossip to swallow until we know the truth.

The only people that gossip more than the actors in Gossip Girl are the ones sitting on the couch watching gosspi girl!
Chuck Bass is every girls dream guy and Blair is every girls secret evil side, but will these two ever sort things out? It’s time to see the old Blair we loved, this one has become old and boring and not only in personality but in her wardrobe too!
With Jenny Gone we can all finally stop worrying about her hairstyle becoming the next fashion trend to hit the street! Stringy, long platinum hair never looked good on anybody, unless you are going for the porn-star look.
Will Georgina ever get it? No ones likes her, so If she is looking for support or in this case, the daddy to her baby, she might as well turn around since no one wants that baby!
Dan, maybe he will now realize that he just cant keep up with Serena, even if he had his own jet, she would leave him behind!
The season ended with so many questions answered that we can finally have a break and relax before we are thrown into the meddling lives of the Upper East side and tormented by the thought of Blair and Chuck never getting back together!
