Smirnoff And Lopez Back Together?
Mario Lopez is reportedly back with his ex-girlfriend, Dancing With The Stars partner Karina Smirnoff, but I don't believe it for one second.
The actor split with Smirnoff earlier this year after an 18-month romance, which began when they were paired up as partners on the U.S reality TV competition. Supposedly, Lopez was cheating for a year during that time with a Hooters waitress and only God knows who else.
The pair appear to be romancing again after being seen canoodling over dinner at New York's Bagatelle restaurant, according to reports.
A source tells New York gossip column PageSix, "They were super-flirty," and added that the pair were "very happy, kissing and cuddling".
Hopefully, Smirnoff has more respect for herself then these reports lead us to believe.
Reported on E! News, new partner and celebrity chef Rocco DiSpirto has already cooked Smirnoff a homemade meal. I wonder if Lopez can do that on his wash board abs.

The Zelda Team Working Again
Can you say Wii Zelda exclusive? I can, and I'm sure all the fan boys in the universe are about to explode in their pants.
Nintendo vaguely confirmed that the Zelda team is reassembled, along with the Mario team as well. So, expect at least two great titles, if not more if you are including the Nintendo DS.
I wouldn't expect anything in 2008, but 2009 has huge possibilities awaiting.
Reported from ign.com, Eiji Aonuma gave a presentation on The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess at GDC 2007. At that time, he showed a brief snippet of an experimentation the Zelda team conducted -- it was Twilight Princess running in the first-person view. They asked Miyamoto if such a fundamental change could await players of Wii's next Zelda adventure.
"I don't necessarily think it will change that drastically, but I think that Zelda is a franchise that does need some big new unique ideas," he said. "And so the team right now is very focused on trying to find those ideas."
With the addition of Wii MotionPlus, the next Zelda could be out of control. I can't wait to spend 3 full work weeks playing video games.

It's Almost Go Time!
Nintendo of America officially set a release date for Mario Kart Wii. Sunday, April 27th 2008 fans of the series will be able to hit the circuit once again. No announcement has been made about a mid night release, but don't be surprise if GameStop steps up again to help out loyal fans of the series get a copy in their hands as soon as it is legally possible.
Previously, NOA suggested that Kart Wii might arrive after the May debut of Wii Fit, but apparently that is not the case.
Mario Kart Wii comes packaged with the Wii Wheel. In addition to a wide selection of new tracks and vehicles, the title features a 12-player online component and compatibility with multiple different controller configurations.
For those afraid of the Wii Wheel, not to worry, Mario Kart Wii supports four different control options: Wii Remote with or without the Wii Wheel, Wii Remote and Nunchuk controller combo, Classic Controller and even the Nintendo GameCube controller. So there's bound to be a configuration that fits everyone's style.
Also, Mario Kart Wii launches with a new channel added to the Wii Menu to enhance game play: The Mario Kart Wii Channel. This new channel builds on the huge online community of Wii owners and lets players compete in tournaments, check worldwide rankings, see when their friends are playing and download ghost data.
Stay to tune for details. As of right now, we know Nintendo of Europe will not support voice chat for Mario Kart Wii, which leads us to believe the U.S. version will be the same. But there is always hope.

Kart Updates
April 24th is the official release date for Mario Kart Wii in Australia.
A new Wii Channel will launch on the day of the release, the Mario Kart Channel. Monitor your rankings against Mario Kart Wii players world wide, share Ghost Data, access a host of special features, and join a community of Mario Kart Wii racing fans from around the world.
Gamestop originally informed me that the U.S. version was releasing on April 2nd. But after further review it seems to the last slated release in the world. What is that all about? As of right now the U.S. should be receiving the game on Monday, April 28th. It looks likes it could be a 3 day weekend for some people!
I still have my fingers crossed that Nintendo plans to surprise the U.S. with the release of voice chat, but I won't hold my head in the toilet.
