Nobody wants your fake garbage. Get a real job loser.
On the subject:
This is totally fricken awesome! MAINSTREAM BABY! I am so glad I decided to get cable tv. I never watch but now I will!
Actings fake? Wwwhhhaaaatttt? Nooooooo it’s not true!!!
Who’s got two thumbs and his head up his ass? THIS GUY!!!!!!
hatin’ on Rourke? C’mon man, The Wrestler? That movie was the shit; and if you didn’t like it at least you get to see Marisa T’s titz. lol
It’s very strange they are having a red carpet event. The red carpet and it’s celebrities are not something I think of when I watch MMA. At least Gina Carano will be there.
Yeah it doesn’t mix well; but I understand that the UFC is trying to make MMA more mainstream. Celebrities, well usually little more than a bunch of overpaid morons, do attract the masses. sad, but true.
Hollywood is a joke.
