Brad Pitt To Star In The Adaptation Of One Of My Favorite Books? Sweet!
I had to read Moneyball in one of my business management classes as a Temple student because one of my old codger professors insisted that it showed how to successfully run a business, and it incorporated sports (awesome!). For those of you who haven't read this NYT bestseller, it tells the story of Billy Beane, who as General Manager of the Oakland A's put together an awesome baseball team on a minimal budget, and did so year-in-year-out.

360/PS3 Features
* Graphics
-Digital Molecular Matter (DMM) technology: Physics engine that simulates how a physical object would react in the real world. Ie: If you force throw an object into glass, it will smash and shatter depending on its weight and type of material - on screen, just like it would in real life
- Euphoria: A Behavioral-simulation engine that permits characters to behave like actual human beings: from moving to acting to, if you can believe it, even thinking! Since it\'s simulated, as opposed to scripted, you\'ll never have the same experiences when you encounter a euphoric situation.
Ratings:
XBox 360/PS3: 7.3
Nintendo Wii: 7.8
The overall consensus is that the game has great potential for future titles, but this version feels rushed and lacks depth in game play for all systems.
If you are a Star Wars fan, you can't go wrong with either version, because the fact of the matter is you will get to explore another great chapter in the world of George Lucas. But don't go into this game thinking that you are getting a title with the same quality and time that Nintendo puts into The Legend of Zelda franchise.

Shia LaBeouf Arrested For DUI
True to the Transformers slogan, "more then meets the eye", seemingly clean cut Shia LaBeouf was arrested on suspicion of drunken driving Sunday after an early morning 3 a.m. car accident in Hollywood, said police.
LaBeouf was supposedly treated at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center for injuries to his head, left hand, and knee. His unidentified female passenger and the driver of the other vehicle were not seriously injured.
LaBeouf, 22, was booked for a misdemeanor DUI and released.
All of LaBeouf's previous brush ins with the law have been relatively harmless.
In November, he was accused of drunken trespassing after refusing to leave a Chicago, Illinois convenience store at 4am, but the misdemeanor charges were subsequently dropped.
Then, in February, he was charged with smoking in a prohibited area in California - to which he pleaded guilty and was forced to pay a $500 fine for the offense.
This looks like a continuing trend for the former child star. As his pockets grow, so do his troubles.
