G.I. Joe The Movie - First Look at Scarlett

G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero
After the G.I. Joe movie released official photos of Snake Eyes last month it was only a matter of time until they released additional photos of the movie’s main characters. Yesterday JoBlo.com got their hands on an official photo from Paramount Pictures of Snake Eyes’ main squeeze and G.I. Joe’s leading lady, Shana M. O’Hara codename: Scarlett. (link) Rachel Nichols (Alias) stars in the live action G.I. Joe movie as Scarlett and she looks pretty good in the role of the crossbow wielding redhead.

2008 NBA Playoffs - There Can Only Be One

The 2008 NBA Playoffs are now set and the cards didn’t exactly fall where The Blot had hoped they would. The Houston Rockets clinched the number 5 Seed and home court advantage last night, while the Phoenix Suns got stuck with the 6th Seed and a trip to San Antonio. Now I can only hope the Rockets advance to the second round to play the Western Conference Champion L.A. Lakers, which I’m not really expecting to happen (especially with Rafter Alston out for at least the first two games of the playoffs). In the meantime, I’m now stuck with two Game 1 playoff tickets to see the Houston Rockets take on the Utah Jazz Saturday night at 8:30 pm. With the Rockets’ playoff series not including either Kobe or Shaq I now have zero interest in attending the game…I guess it’s time to try and sell my tickets ASAP.

The Houston Rockets - Bobby Jackson, Rafter Alston, Tracy McGrady and Luis Scola
Speaking of Kobe and Shaq, have you seen their newest "There Can Only Be One" 2008 NBA Playoffs television ad? It’s a pretty sweet advertisement, with the two of them talking split-screen about the fear of coming this far and not winning it all. It’s an awesome commercial and is definitely the best pairing of the NBA’s "There Can Only Be One" advertisement campaign. The other commercials feature LeBron James & Kevin Garnett, Steve Nash & Jason Kidd, Dwight Howard & Chris Paul, Paul Pierce & Mike Bibby and Antawn Jamison & Ben Wallace.

Check out the Kobe Bryant & Shaquille O’Neal “There Can Only Be One” 2008 NBA Playoffs commercial:
