¶RIP Jacques Chapel

• "Blijlevens aan de kop... Abdusjapparof. Abdusjapparof. Abdusjapparof. Abdusjapparooooofff... ZABEL!"
  Voor wie zich had verheugd op weer 'n dikke drie weken Radio Tour met Jacques Chapel aan de finishlijn - jammer maar helaas. 't Onechte kind van Theo Koomen, lijdend aan kanker, op de nominatie om per 1 september aanstaande met pensioen te gaan, blies gisteravond z'n laatste adem uit. Na de jump 'n piepkleine hommage:

  ¶Junkie XL in Zomergasten

• Naast af en toe 'n verdwaalde aflevering van De Wereld Draait Door is Zomergasten nog een van de weinige Nederlandse programma's waar ik hier - vanachter de computer - eens lekker de tijd voor neem. Helaas komt Zomergasten maar zes keer per jaar voorbij, maar gelukkig hoeven we voor de nieuwe editie niet meer superlang te wachten. Op 27 juli aanstaande - en gepresenteerd dit keer door Bas Heijne - is 't al weer zover. Minister Ronald Plasterk zal de spits afbijten, gevolgd door componist en dj Junkie XL, schrijfster en juriste Naema Tahir, theatermaakster Annemarie Prins, socioloog Willem Schinkel en theaterproducent Joop van den Ende (op 31 augustus).

  ¶Jasper AKA Maddoxx, de man van 80 miljoen

• Limbabwe heeft z'n eigen Nick Leeson. De 20-jarige Jasper AKA Maddoxx uit Maastricht hackte zich bij 'n Amerikaans- en twee Britse bedrijven naar binnen, en harkte op die manier tussen de 60- en 80 miljoen bijeen. Allemaal via z'n compu op z'n zolderkamertje - paps en mams hadden niets in de gaten.
  Nieuwsgierig naar onze hackert? Z'n Hyves-profiel staat hierrrr, z'n Fok!-profiel is hierrrr te bekijken. Maddoxx' mede Fok!ertjes raken er niet over uitgepraat, maar 't grappigste van alles is toch wel dat Jasper lid is van de Prison Break-hyves.

  ¶Grunn trapt Eredivisie- seizoen 2008-09 af

• Kan er dan ook helemaal niks meer geheim blijven? Kennelijk niet. Want als zelfs al 't programma van de Eredivisie 2008 uitlekt... Enfin. Een ding is duidelijk: FC Grunn zal 't bal in het Gelredome op vrijdagavond 29 augustus openen tegen Vitesse. Ergo: met 'n beetje geluk nestelt de FC zich eind augustus dus al aan de kop van de eredivisie, om die positie voor de rest van de competitie niet meer af te staan. Anyways: hierrrr 't volledige programma. Geen dank.

  ¶Zo. Doelpunt

• Argentinie. Saudi-Arabie. Nigeria. Andere landen, vreemde gewoontes. Zeker in vergelijking met Nederland, zoals Bavaria dat zo fraai uitbeeldt in de commercial na

  ¶Treintje verslaan

• Goed, ik me er in 'n donkergrijs verleden zelf ook wel 'ns schuldig aan gemaakt (mea culpa enzo), maar ik was toen a) nog behoorlijk jong, b) op m'n edele tweewieler, terwijl c) 't verschil ook zeker niet zo klein was als bij deze minivan-rijder op de video na

  ¶Yay! 'n Nieuwe limo

• Na dit ongelukje op 21 april van dit jaar, en na de voorbije maanden in verschillende limos te hebben rondgereden, hebben we sinds twee weken eindelijk weer 'n nieuwe superstretch onder onze kont. 't Is een prachtig donkerblauw metallic Lincoln Towncar, goed voor acht passagiers, en van alle gemakken voorzien.   Voor de echte fans hebben we de kar hierrr op posterformaat. En voor de gewone nieuwsgierigen een viertal foto's plus 'n videootje na 'n klik op

  ¶Marco vs. Bertje

• Dat bondscoach Marco van Basten 't niet zo moet hebben van NOS-verslaggever Bert Maalderink, och, da's eigenlijk geen nieuws. Ik denk dat er maar weinig trainers geporteeerd zijn van de vraagstelling van Bertje. Wat wel nieuws is, is de coaching van perschef Kees Jansma, met de microfoons open, nog wel. Clipje na

  ¶Gays: Van Persie de lekkerste Oranje-klant

• Jahaaa. Dit is natuurlijk 't onderzoek waar iedereen met smart op heeft zitten wachten. Want wie zou in de ogen van homoseksueel Nederland nou de lekkerste Oranje-international zijn? Jelui's geduld is danig op de proef gesteld, maar 't hoge woord is er dan eindelijk uit: 't is Robin van Persie geworden, gevolgd door Klaas-Jan Huntelaar en Wesley Sneijder, Rafael van der Vaart en Ibrahim Afellay. Voor de volledigheid ook maar even de lillukste: Wilfred Bouma. Gefeliciteerd, allemaal.

  ¶Olaf doet Oranje

• Als ik goed ben geinformeerd staat 't een of andere EK voetbal op punt van beginnen. En omdat Oranje ook van de partij is, springt - volgens goed Nederlands gebruik - iedere Hollander op de bandwagon - ook degenen die nog niet weten of er nou lucht of zand in een bal zit.
  Anyways. Ook fotograaf Erwin Olaf deed 'n duit in 't Oranje-zakje, en legde 'n aantal internationals op geheel eigen wijze vast op de gevoelige plaat. 't Resultaat is niet onverdienstelijk, en is te bekijken na een klik op

  ¶13 Female motivational posters

• Got/know/want a girl that needs some motivation when it comes to True Love, Truth or Dare, Masturbation, Hot Baby sitters, Halloween, Curiosity, Stripping or Practice? Maybe this'll help ya, thirteen Female Motivational Posters, after

  ¶Valverde to win Tour de France

• Don't expect daily Tour de France updates at this very spot. It doesn't seem necessary either: Alejandro Valverde, one of this year favorites, just won ( crap quality, but ah well) today's first stage (from Brest to Plumelec), and it's very likely he will carry the yellow jersey all the way to Paris...

  ¶Chestnut beats Kobayashi

• I'm just wondering: where was my (and Chicago's) favorite Patrick Bertoletti AKA Deep Dish yesterday during the 93rd annual Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Contest in Coney Island, Brooklyn, New York? Without him Joey Chestnut and Takeru Kobayashi didn't have any competition - apart from each other, of course. Both competitive eaters pulled up a real show, as they both ate 59 hot dogs in ten minutes. Chestnut beat his Japanese opponent in the end in a five-dog-eat-off. Video coverage after you click

  ¶Pink on the beach. In bikini. Kinda

• Okay, listen. It can't always be sexy. No matter how bad we'd want it to. Sometimes you just have to take what one can get. So here goes: Alicia Moore AKA in bikini on the beach. Enjoy.

  ¶Palio di Siena 2008

• It's summertime (in the northern hemisphere, at least), and you guys all know what that means. In countries all over the world (in that northern hemisphere,
that is) people are celebrating their existence having their own particular and cultural festivities. I'm talking about the Running of the Bulls f.e.
  But move on to the Basques later this month (week). Let's start off in Italy. In Siena, to be precize, for their annual Palio di Siena. Truth to be told: this year's race wasn't that exciting, since Istriche took the lead from the beginning and managed to keep it all the way to the end. Anyways. Two clips of the 2008 Palio di Sienna

  ¶Hot chicks in American flag bikinis

• The crack research staff at The World of Isaac is at it again. This time finding pics of lovely ladies in American Flags. And guess what: Brit chick Lucy Pinder is wearing one too!

  ¶The 10 hottest topless tanning scenes

• Being Dutch, the American fascination of smoking pot and topless sunbathing never seems to stop amazing me. What is that with you crazy yanks? So why I decided to link the top 10 of hottest topless sunbathing movie scenes ( NSFW), you ask? Because Sophie Marceau and Halle Berry are in it, that's why (oh, and so are Rachel Weisz, Renee Russo, Sheryl Lee, Jami Ferrell, and Elizabeth Hurley, by the way).

  ¶The Colbert Report's Top 25 AmericErotic PatrioPhilia clips

• As the world celebrates America's birthday, it's the perfect time to immerse oneself in the heroism of a man who's not afraid to shove his patriotism into America's collective orifice like a big piece of birthday cake. And that's why we're bringing you The Colbert Report's Top 25 AmericErotic PatrioPhilia Clips .

  ¶Today is the day to remember that America Rules and England Sucks

  ¶Barack Obama - one cool brother

• Ouch. Doesn't he look cool, our next president? Well, Ebony seems to think so, since they nominated Barack Obama - along with 24 other black dudes - for the title of the 25 Coolest Brothers of All Time (their August 2008 issue). Other Ebony covers will feature Prince, Jay-Z, Samuel L. Jackson, Denzel Washington, Marvin Gaye, Muhammad Ali, and Billy Dee Williams.

  ¶10,5 Million Fire Crackers

• Okay, so we're off to downtown, to check out the Taste of Chicago, and to watch the 4th of July fireworks at 9:30 pm. In order to keep you guys busy, we've got for you a fire crackers world record , after you click

  ¶Happy 4th of July! - 100 movie titles wanted, 100 movies in five words

• Independence Day is coming up (tomorrow, yes), and what better way to celebrate this than by going to the movies. That is... Check out this AFI list of the 100 best movies ever described in five words. After you did this, you might be ready for todays movie quiz: spot the 100 movie titles in this 1'55" minutes long clip , after you click

  ¶Top 10 worst sex tapes

• Sex sells. Therefore so do sex tapes. Unless the people on those sex tapes you don't really wanna see having sex. Like Fred Durst, Joanie Laurer, Dustin Diamond (Screech), Tom Sizemore, Mini Me, Colin Farrell, and Gene Simmons. They eventually end up on the worst sex tapes of all times list.

  ¶When celebrities play sports

• My sincere advice would be: just don't do it. If you wanna keep up your images, just don't. I'm talking about celebrities playing sports here. And no, not about your well known athletes, but about your every day politicians, singers, actors, and talkshow hosts. Like Britney playing basketball, Conan trying some baseball, Mariah throwing a baseball, Star swallowing a football, Bush Sr handling a bowling ball, or Billy Crystal playing with the big guys. Just don't do it !

  ¶Pissing off you driving instructors

• I don't know. This has a pretty damn high actors and viral/hoax feel to it. Then again. This kid pissing off his driving instructors (there's a Part 1 and a Part 2) is annoying enough to be kinda funny. Both clips after you click

  ¶Mariah Carey in ID Magazine

• There's a lot that can be said about Mariah Carey. For example. Her music is too slick (although 18 times on #1 doesn't lie). And so do her official pictures that she puts out. And that she throws a baseball like a three year old blind girl. That being said. There's still millions out there who think that she - despite the photoshop and the airbrushing - still has a body to die for. To see if there's any thruth in that, check out her latest photo shoot in ID Magazine.

  ¶Lightning strike caught on tape

• Now who doesn't want to capture lightning and come home with some awesome pictures? Right on. But photographing or filming a thunderstorm e.g. striking lightining from your rooftop ain't without danger. As the clip after the jump will show

  ¶Horse vs. jockey

• It seems so simple. There's a horse and there's a jockey, and y'r ready to race. Unless the horse doesn't feel like racing, of course. And not just throws the jockey off, but even performs a complete backflip , which almost kills the jockey:

  ¶The Joey Barton assault

• In November of last year Newcastle United player Joey Barton caused a ruckus, as he assaulted Sunderland's Dickson Etuhu during the derby (clip after the jump). Barton, however, was more than lucky, since his attack remained unpunished.
  It remains to be seen though if Barton will be as fortunate this time. A couple of weeks ago he assaulted another man on the street, and this violent attack was captured by security cameras. Both assaults after you click

  ¶Wannabe Quarterback

• The Green Bay Packers have, if I'm not mistaken, still a quarterback spot open. Maybe this guy should go for tryouts. At least his accuracy seems to be pretty good:

  ¶Hancock's finally here!

• Now this is the movie I've been waiting for for the past couple of months, and as of Tomorrow Hancock ft. Will Smith (and Charlize Theron) will finally hit theaters. Roger Ebert's review is here, you'll find the movie poster here, after you'll see the extented trailer after you click

  ¶Ana Beatriz Barros in GQ Italy

• Okay, so let me bitch some more about those crappy ass scanners who spoil it for all of us. Earlier today, you saw how they a pretty darn hot shoot of a (kinda) top and bottomless Gisele Bundchen reduced to postage stap format pictures. Now check this out. Another damn hot shoot, and also from GQ Magazine (the Italian edition). It's Brazilian babe Ana Beatrix Barros. And check out those fine scans!

  ¶Amazing tongues

• Back in the day, when I was a kid, the only amazing tongue I knew of, belonged to Gene Simmons. Todays kids have, thanks to the internet, a whole lot more amazing tongues they can admire.

  ¶Gisele Bundchen in GQ July 2008

• Yeah, I know... Tell me about it. It's a bloody shame and that's just what it is... What's getting into this people who are taking the effort to scan babe shoots from magazines, but then resize those scans into postage stamp format before putting them out on the internet?! I mean, come on! Take this uberhot Gisele Bundschen shoot in the July issue of GQ Magazine (after the jump). It could have been much nicer:
