'Picks of the Week' (July 17th)

Here are the top five things I am loving this week:

5. Joanna Krupa

Wow, if you've never heard of this smokin' hot Polish-American model / actress then I highly suggest you look her up ASAP. Joanna Krupa is currently on the cover of the August issue of Maxim, and she recently caused some buzz on the reality TV show, "Superstars" when she bitched-out her partner, NFL superstar Terrell Owens. Oh and while you're at it...why don't you look up her super hot sister, Marta Krupa as well?

4. 49¢ Hamburgers / 59¢ Cheeseburgers at McDonald's

On Wednesday, McDonald's sold their hamburgers for 49 cents each and their cheeseburgers for 59 cents. Cheap food is almost always a good thing and this was just way too good of a deal for me to pass up!

3. Ryan Reynolds


As a straight male, I feel fully comfortable to say that I have a huge heterosexual man-crush on actor Ryan Reynolds. The guy has come quite a long way since Van Wilder. In fact, this is turning out to be quite the summer for Mr. Reynolds.
Back in May, he had a supporting role as Deadpool in X-Men Origins: Wolverine, a performance that prompted Fox to begin development on a spin-off film to which Reynolds is attached. He then followed that by starring opposite Sandra Bullock in the romantic comedy The Proposal, which crossed the $100 million mark this week. And then earlier this week Warner Bros. Picture hired him to play the title role in the highly anticipated Green Lantern film. Reynolds is on the way to becoming a huge movie star and I look forward to seeing what he has in store for us in the future.

2. "What They Say" by The Avantist

So two of my buddies, Fernando and Erick Arias are in a kick ass indie rock band called The Avantist with their two younger brothers, David and Luis. They recently recorded one of their original songs "What They Say." It's a great track and I highly suggest that you check out it.


1. Paul McCartney on Late Show with David Letterman

On Wednesday night, Sir Paul McCartney appeared on the "Late Show" with David Letterman. This marked his first time at the Ed Sullivan Theater in Manhattan since 1964 (when he performed The Beatles). Paul spoke with Letterman about his time with The Beatles as well as his collaborations with Michael Jackson. Then in spirit of "Let It Be", Paul performed on the marquee of the Ed Sullivan Theater. He performed the Beatles signature hit "Get Back" as well as "Sing the Changes" - a song from his most recent solo album, Electric Arguments. After the cameras stopped rolling, McCartney and his band played 5 more songs for what ended up being a 22-minute mini-concert! Check out the full performance here:
