Ron Artest Life Story Continues...

BREAKING: Manny Ramirez Tests Positive; Suspended 50 Games

Official announcement from MLB will come later today.

Right from Peter Gammons's mouth right now as I watch SportsCenter: Scott Boras says -- and Gammons believes him -- that Manny had an ailment, went to his doctor in Florida who prescribed something for Manny and assured Manny that it was fine to take, turns out it wasn't okay.

The Dodgers are 21-8 (modern record 13-0 at home); Manny's batting .348 with 6 HRs and 20 RBIs. Holy shit.

Manny released the following statement to the press via the MLBPA:

Recently I saw a physician for a personal health issue. He gave me a medication, not a steroid, which he thought was OK to give me. Unfortunately, the medication was banned under our drug policy. Under the policy that mistake is now my responsibility. I have been advised not to say anything more for now.

I do want to say one other thing; I've taken and passed about 15 drug tests over the past five seasons. I want to apologize to Mr. McCourt, Mrs. McCourt, Mr. Torre, my teammates, the Dodger organization, and to the Dodger fans. LA is a special place to me and I know everybody is disappointed. So am I. I'm sorry about this whole situation.

I have to say, this is awful news for baseball fans. I've always liked Manny, even to a certain extent when he was on the Sox (i.e. to the extent that they weren't beating us), him and Papi. Both nice enough guys, funny guys. I hope he's able to get through this relatively unscathed, career wise, but to do that, he's gotta definitively prove everything he said in that statement. Doctor, medication, prescription, failed test, positive tests - everything. Really pulling for him.

Apple To Buy Twitter? [Rumors]

The latest Apple rumor involves Twitter. According to TUAW, Apple is considering buying Twitter for $700 Million. All in all, there is no reason for Apple to buy Twitter. It does nothing for them financially and won't bring in customers. Google's attempt to buy Twitter recently was turned down and there doesn't seem to be a good enough reason for Twitter to accept this offer much less for Apple to even try to make the acquisition. Still, a relatively reliable source has told TUAW,

"Apple is in late-stage negotiations to buy Twitter and is hoping to announce it at WWDC in June."

Dear Brett Favre: Get Over It.

[Gonna take a pass on the obvious "Here we go again" statement]
[EDIT: This was a complete coincidence. Awesome! Yet totally unsurprising]

ESPN's Ed Werder reports that Minnesota Vikings coach Brad Childress is going to meet with aging aged quarterback Brett Favre later this week in the ever-mysterious "undisclosed location" to discuss the possibility of Favre coming out of retirement and playing for the Vikes this year. The New York Jets released Favre about a week ago, promptly after taking future bust Mark Sanchez in the first round of the NFL Draft.

Well this is a stupid story. Guess what Favre, you're not getting any younger, and just like any other old guy, your decision making skills (on and -- as this story proves -- off the field) have been rapidly declining. Give it up, please. If not for your sake, then for mine. I don't know whether this story is more annoying or more sad. I'm gonna say more annoying. Just go away Old Yeller. Don't make us break out the rifle.

Get 'The Girlfriend Experience' on Amazon before it Hits the Theaters

Steven Soderbergh's new movie, The Girlfriend Experience, starring Sasha Grey, is available for rent on Amazon a whole 3 weeks before the movie is due out in theaters. This isn't the first time Soderbergh broke the Hollywood rules and released his movie to the public before it appeared in theaters. His 2006 film, Bubble, was available on HDNet Movies before it's theatrical release. Here's the trailer. [The Girlfriend Experience on Amazon via Gizmodo]

Jorge Garcia (Hurley) Says Star Trek Was 'So Good'

Jorge Garcia aka Hurley aka Hugo from Lost, says that the new Star Trek movie was good. Okay so what? you might be asking. Well, if you have read Jorge's blog, dispatchesfromtheisland.blogspot.com, you know just how down to earth he is. He's a fan of the franchise and if he says JJ Abrams did a good job on the movie, I trust him. Although maybe he's just trying to make sure he doesn't get killed off in the series.

Last week I went to the Star Trek Premiere.
It was cool. Samuel L. Jackson sat behind me.
I wanted to offer him my seat because I wasn't sure if I could relax knowing that
SAMUEL L. JACKSON WAS SITTING BEHIND ME!
But the highlight of the night was without a doubt, the movie.
It is so good. It is so beautiful. And it sets up the franchise so well. I don't want to give anything away, so that's all I'm going to say about it.
