Money In The Bank: John Cena Vs. CM Punk (WWE Championship)

Punk comes out, as expected, to an enormous reaction. Punk comes out with a new shirt and has the crowd going nuts. He soaks in the crowd reaction and sits in the middle of the ring. Insane reaction for Punk. Cena's music hits and he gets insanely booed while Punk claps for Cena outside of ring. Back and forth early on with the crowd solidly behind Punk.

CM Punk pinned John Cena to win the WWE Championship.

Punk celebrated and McMahon got on the headset and asked for Del Rio to come to the ring. The crowd chanted "CM Punk" as Punk looked on, bewildered. Del Rio then ran to the ring, but was nailed by a kick from Punk. Punk then took off through the crowd as the fans went wild, while McMahon was losing his mind. Michael Cole noted that the bell never rang. Punk then celebrated in the crowd and went back through the stands with his newly won title.

Missy Elliott has been out of the limelight for a few years now because she’s battling Graves' disease, undergoing treatment that has included radiation, according to media reports. The disease, which affects the thyroid gland, may not be familiar to most people, but it can cause a long litany of unpleasant symptoms.

Essentially, Graves' disease causes too much thyroid hormone to be produced, a condition calledhyperthyroidism. The thyroid gland’s hormones help regulate the body’s metabolism, affecting mood, weight and energy. But in people with Graves' disease, the immune system attacks the thyroid gland, causing it to overproduce thyroid hormone.

Reggie Bush dating a professional Kim Kardashian klone

Kim Kardashian’s ex, Reggie Bush, is now dating the woman who bears such a striking resemblance to the reality star, she was cast as a Kim Kardashian-like character in an Old Navy ad.

Model Melissa Molinaro scored a hit last February with “Super C-U-T-E” on YouTube, which has been viewed almost two million times.

The video has Molinaro’s very Kardashian-ish character declaring, “This is real life, I’m not posing for a magazine, don’t ask me any questions until I’ve had my caffeine.”

The Kim lookalike also reads tabloids about herself, charms her way out of a traffic ticket while the paparazzi snap away, and shows off her ample derrière.

“To me it’s extremely flattering. She is a beautiful woman…That’s an amazing compliment,” Molinaro told E! News of the Kardashian comparisons earlier this year. Kardashian and Bush split not long after the Old Navy ad debuted, and now Kardashian is engaged to New Jersey Nets forward Kris Humphries.

For her part, Kardashian isn’t impressed with her doppelganger, “Kim knows about her and doesn’t care,” a source told Us Weekly.

Meanwhile, the running back for the New Orleans Saints football has kept mum on the subject. But on June 5th he tweeted, “Question of the night: what’s the difference between Love and Lust?”

Um, they can be confused for one another? Kind of like …. oh we give up.

Rep. Weiner seeks leave of absence from House, will enter professional treatment

WASHINGTON - Rep. Anthony Weiner is asking for a temporary leave of absence from the House of Representatives while he seeks professional treatment in the wake of his Twitter scandal. A spokeswoman for the New York Democrat says he has left for professional treatment and will focus on "becoming a better husband and healthier person." Spokeswoman Risa Heller says Weiner wants the leave of absence so he can be evaluated and work out a course of treatment. The statement doesn't say what Weiner would be treated for. Just before Weiner issued the statement, leading Democrats had demanded that he step down.

Six iOS 5.0 Features Apple Borrowed From Other Devices

Apple certainly has a reputation for being an innovative company, but it's also taken features other companies have tried out and applied them to its own products. Here are six features in Apple's upcoming iOS 5.0 that were found in competing devices first. 1. Over the Air Updates - WebOS and Android
If we can download updates to our apps over the air, why do we need to connect our devices to our computers to update their operating systems? Well, if you have a Palm/HP WebOS device or a Google Android phone you already can. Apple's pretty late to this game, actually. But it's certainly a welcomed feature that'll save users the hassle of having to run home to get the latest version of their iOS software.
2. Notifications - WebOS and Android
Many have called the notification system for texts and push on iOS devices pretty annoying, as messages pop up right in the center of your screen interrupting whatever you were in the middle of doing. They're also not particularly descriptive. WebOS has been known for having a useful notification system that lists out text messages, emails, upcoming appointments and other things right on the lock screen. And the swipe-down gesture to view all current notifications is very much like the experience on an Android smartphone.
3. Sync iTunes Via WiFi - Android (Via 3rd-Party App) So, granted, this isn't built in to Android phones, but with a third-party app called DoubleTwist, Android users have been able to synchronize their smartphones with iTunes over WiFi for a while now.
4. iMessage - BlackBerry Apple's upcoming iOS messaging client screams BlackBerry Messenger (BBM) -- letting users see real-time typing notifications and get read receipts when the user they're sending to has read a message sent to them. Indeed, some say BBM is one of the strongest features keeping everyday users (as opposed to business users) hooked on their BlackBerry devices.
5. Integrating Twitter - WebOS Palm's "Synergy" feature on WebOS lets users plug in their logins to multiple social networking sites as well as email services and get everything in one place, pulling in the latest updates and even adding Facebook and LinkedIn contacts to their phone.
6. Flag Emails for Followup - WebOS and Android A biggie to the highly-organized, both Android and WebOS smartphones have the ability to flag emails for followup at a later time. Without it, users have to resort to keeping messages unread or worse... actually remember to follow up on things without the help of

Hundreds of women try out for a shot at 'The Bachelor'

KIRKLAND, Wash. - Hundreds of women lined up in Kirkland on Saturday for a chance at romance and stardom during anopen casting call for ABC's reality show "The Bachelor."
All were hoping to make the cut - and find love.
"You know I've had a really hard time dating in Seattle, so if I can find somebody on TV - then so be it," says one contestant, Jaymee Espinueva. Another contestant, Sarah Stokes, brought her current love, her little pet dog Yogi.
"He's brought a lot of attention so far. He's my man. No. 1 man in my life," she says.
All of the contestants were hoping they have what producers are looking for. Last season several women from Western Washington made it onto the show.
"We're looking for all sorts of types," says Divida Vaccaro, senior casting producer."We don't really know until we see it, I can honestly say. We are looking for young girls that a willing to take a chance on finding love."
Every contestant gets several pictures taken, and then goes through a series of interviews. They are asked a battery of questions - whether they have ever been married or divorced, whether they have children - and plenty more.
But reality TV means drama. So these young women also must ask themselves if they really want to go through all the emotion and conflict.
"I'm probably one of the older ladies in this crowd," says Espinueva. "I've seen it all. I've been through it all."
"Gonna be the man of my dreams," says Stokes. "I mean - why not fight for him, and why not find him on TV and have our love story captured."
And you never know - producers say they are always keeping their eye open for the next Bachelorette.

Joe Francis '90 percent sure' Blake Lively leaked her own photos

A few days ago, five photographs of the actress Blake Lively leaked throughout the internet posing naked in front of a mirror. Lively immediately said that the photos were forged and intimidated the press charges against the publications that formerly make public the images.

A day after, 17 more photos flowed. However, Joe Francis (Girls Gone Wild producer), believes the entire thing was arranged. "I would say 90 percent it's an organized effort or work on her part [to raise her profile in showbiz]. I'm not sure, but my tendency is that it's coming from herself. She knows what she's carrying out or somebody in her camp does," clarified Francis.

Francis says that the actress has obtained a wide range of coverage and pointed out Kim Kardashian, Paris Hilton and Pamela Anderson as instances of celebrities who got boost in their fame after their sex tapes.
