Rolex 2013 Oyster Perpetual Cosmograph Daytona Platinum
[caption id="attachment_1140" align="alignnone" width="300"] Rolex 2013 Oyster Perpetual Cosmograph Daytona Platinum[/caption]
Celebrating the 50th anniversary of 1963′s emblematic Daytona, Rolex unveiled a platinum edition of the Oyster Perpetual Cosmograph Daytona at this year’s Baselworld. Donning a chestnut brown monobloc ceramic Cerachrom bezel and an icy blue dial, this marks the first time the design has been crafted entirely in 950 platinum as the precious metal handles the safety clasp closure and solid-link bracelet. The piece is also equipped with Rolex’s in-house calibre 4130 self-winding mechanical chronograph movement, which proves infinitely more reliable than its counterparts thanks to a design that incorporates significantly fewer components. Retaining Rolex’s signature Oyster case, this nod to Paul Newman’s trusty timepiece will be available from select retailers in extremely limited numbers.

Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson has emergency hernia surgery
His surgery keeps him off the 'Pain & Gain' red carpet.
Former pro wrestler Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson is recovering from emergency hernia surgery today.
"Surgery a success." he tweeted. "Superman is on the mend."
On Sunday, he tweeted an update that was a little more graphic: "Saw my Dr who had to push my intestines back thru the tear in my abdomen. Kinda romantic."
Sounds painful. E! Online reported that Johnson's rep confirmed the surgery.
Johnson, 40, had the operation Monday night, causing him to miss the Los Angeles premiere of his new film, Pain & Gain. He had suffered a torn abdomen and abductor muscles during a wrestling match earlier this month against John Cena.
The movie's director, Michael Bay, wished him well from the premiere and joked to reporters that Johnson had to slow down.
"He was pushing it too hard," he said. "(He) needs to grow up and stop wrestling 300-pound men."

Jay-Z OnThe Cover Of TIME Magazine
Jay-Z will grace the cover of TIME Magazine’s 100 Most Influential People In The World issue. New York City’s Mayor Michael Bloomberg wrote the following about Jayz:
Jay Z embodies so much of what makes New York New York. A kid from a tough neighborhood who grows up in public housing, overcomes lots of bad influences on the street, never lets go of his dream, makes it to the top — and then keeps going, pursuing new outlets for his creativity and ambition. When no one would sign him to a record contract, he created his own label and built a music empire — before going on to design clothing lines, open sports bars and, most recently, represent professional athletes. He’s an artist-entrepreneur who stands at the center of culture and commerce in 21st century America, and his influence stretches across races, religions and regions. He’s never forgotten his roots — “Empire State of Mind” was a love song to our city — and as a co-owner of the NBA Nets, he helped bring a major league sports team back to Brooklyn, not far from his old neighborhood. In nearly everything he’s tried, he’s found success. (He even put a ring on Beyoncé.) And in doing so, he’s proved that the American Dream is alive and well.

Rosario dawson's GQ Magazine Photoshoot
We've all known for a while that Rosario Dawson was a rare breed of bombshell—the startling, space-oddity, multi-culti features; the preposterous hourglass curves; the endless stream of sass—but just for the record, she knew it herself way before the rest of us. The lightbulb went on, she says, when she still was in her teens, before she shimmied for Edward Norton in 25th Hour, before she made gold-digging defensible in He Got Game, even before Larry Clark cast her in Kids straight off a stoop on Manhattan's Lower East Side. "I took a picture with my friend in a bikini," she recalls. "Around then, I didn't have it because I didn't want it. But I fit the clothes well, you know?" Yes. We know.
Dawson is now 33, and in her new film, Trance, a violent art-heist flick from Slumdog Millionaire director (and Dawson's ex-boyfriend) Danny Boyle, she plays an opportunistic hypnotherapist who shows way more of it than most actresses would ever dare. Put it this way: Trance will likely be remembered as the first, and probably last, movie in cinema history in which a bald-eagled nether region is a central plot point. In the story's unfolding, it's practically Inception's spinning top. We kept waiting for someone to tip our chairs back and wake us up. Never happened, fortunately.

Trainer: Michael Jordan Was Poisoned Before ‘Flu Game’
(CBS) We all remember Michael Jordan’s famous “flu game.”
The night before Game 5 of the 1997 NBA Finals, Jordan became terribly ill with what was reported as the flu. A little sickness wasn’t going to stop the future Hall of Famer, though, as Jordan went out and dropped 38 points as the Bulls took a 3-2 series lead with a 90-88 win over the Jazz.
But was Jordan sick… or poisoned?
“Yes, 100 percent,” Jordan’s trainer Tim Grover told TrueHoop TV. “He was poisoned for the ‘Flu Game.’ Everyone called it a flu game, but we sat there. We were in the room.”
Here’s the full story from Grover:
“We were in Park City, Utah, up in a hotel,” Grover explained. “Room service stopped at like nine o’clock. And he got hungry, and we really couldn’t find any other place to eat. So we said, eh, the only thing I can find is a pizza place. So we say all right, order pizza.
“We had been there for a while. Everybody knew what hotel; Park City was not many hotels back then. So everyone kind of knew where we were staying. So we order pizza. They come to deliver it, and five guys came to deliver this pizza.
“I take the pizza, and I tell them: ‘I’ve got a bad feeling about this. … I’ve just got a bad feeling about this.’ Out of everybody in the room, (Jordan) was the only one who ate. Nobody else had it.
“And then, at 2 o’clock in the morning, I get a call to my room. I come to the room, and he’s curled up in the fetal position. We’re looking at him, finding the team physician at that time. And immediately I told him it’s food poisoning. Guaranteed. Not the flu.”
