Danica Patrick
Makes Your Heart Start RacingA hot lap in racing typically refers to the speed of the car, unless it's being driven by the "Leading Lady of racing" Danica Patrick, in which case the phrase takes on an entirely new meaning. You know what we're talking about if you saw last year's Sports Illustrated Swimsuit issue because a bikini-clad Danica was once again featured inside. When not modeling swim wear or starring in multiple GoDaddy Commercials, Danica keeps busy driving in the IndyCar series and now the NASCAR Busch Series. Since 2005 she has earned four poles, became the first woman ever to lead the Indy 500, as well as the fastest woman qualifier of all time and the first woman to finish in the top five. Last year, in her 50th career start, Danica won the Indy Japan 300, becoming the first women to ever take the checkered flag in a major racing series. J. J. Abrams
Where No Director Has Gone BeforeOver the past few years, writer director and producer J.J. Abrams has taken audiences to mysterious islands (LOST), into the world of espionage (Alias), and showed us what it would be like to be in the middle New York City while it's being destroyed by a monster (Cloverfield), but now he's going where no director has dared go before, to the beginnings of Star Trek. With his newest feature film, Abrams is hoping to once again take sci-fi subject matter and turn it into a pop-culture phenomenon. In the new Star Trek, Abrams is rebooting the nearly 40-year old franchise by exploring the first years of Kirk, Spock and the rest of the USS Enterprise crew. Star Trek opens this Friday in theaters everywhere Pauly Shore
The Return of Pauly ShoreWhen your father is not only a comedian but is also the owner of the world famous comedy club, The Comedy Store, there is a pretty good chance you're preordained for a life in the entertainment industry. For Pauly Shore that opportunity came in the early 90’s when he exploded onto the scene with a popular standup comedy act, a show on MTV, and starring roles in multiple blockbuster movies. To put it simply, Pauly Shore was everywhere. Then came the late 90’s, a period in which he was dubbed “The Dethroned King of dumb-ass comedy.” But this would not be the end of Mr. Shore. Instead, he fought back with the mockumentary Pauly Shore is Dead, and reinvented himself for a return to standup comedy. He also recently starred in the new film Adopted, which you can own on DVD now. Bob Zany
It's time for another exciting episode of the best joke filled, news feature hosted by a stand-up comedian named Bob Zany, The Zany Report. But the Report isn't the only thing you'll get when Bob calls in, we'll also find out where he's playing next, Bing Crosby will tell a joke, and some lucky fan will win prizes after fixing one Zany's less than successful punch lines. So you'd better tune it because it's going to be huge! In other news, Bob was recently featured in the Matt Damon film, The Informant! and is the star of the new documentary Close But No Cigar: Bob Zany. Follow Bob on Facebook and twitter.
