So bittersweet. Pierce Brosnan walked daughter Charlotte down the aisle in a secret wedding ceremony two weeks before she lost her battle with ovarian cancer.
Charlotte Brosnan and her long-time artist boyfriend Alex Smith tied the knot in a small, private ceremony with family and friends two weeks before she died of ovarian cancer.

A report released by the College Republican National Committee found that the Gop lost young voters because many young people view the Republican party as "closed-minded, racist, rigid, [and] old-fashioned." Bill O'Reilly brought on Crnc Chairwoman Alex Smith and research analyst Kristen Soltis, who helped write the Crnc report, to explain their findings. O'Reilly questioned the reasons young people don't like the Gop, and wondered why the Republicans should even bother listening to "a bunch of kids who don't know anything."...

[Spoilers for last Sunday’s episode follow.] As we discussed in the aftermath of the Game of Thrones’ Red Wedding episode, fans of the show were divided into two camps: Those who hadn’t read the books and who were shocked and destroyed by the bloodbath at Edmure’s wedding to a Frey daughter, and those fans of the books who knew exactly what was coming and were simultaneously dreading and also feeling perversely curious about how this pivotal “celebration” would go down onscreen. So, how did the most dedicated aficionados of George R.R. Martin’s novels feel about how these tragically blood-soaked nuptials were enacted? To find out, we assembled via conference call an Mvp team of Game of Thrones/A Song of Ice and Fire experts, the webmasters behind the main books and show websites: Linda Antonsson from Westeros, Phil Bicking a.k.a.

The latest football touchdown craze is Kaepernicking -- a.k.a., kissing your bicep like San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick. It started later in the 2012 NFL season when Kaepernick replaced 49ers Qb Alex Smith and took off like wildfire.
Kaepernick definitely fanned the flames, constantly retweeting photos of his fans Kaepernicking in various places -- at home, in bars, at work, on the street.
And now he's gotten First Lady Michelle Obama in on the action.
Tuesday (May 7), Kaepernick posted the above picture to Instagram, writing, "I got the opportunity to meet one of the greatest women in the world, the first lady @first_Obama and even got her #Kaepernicking."
The first lady obviously knows what she's doing -- she actually looks better Kaepernicking than Kaepernick himself, who sort of looks like he's doing his best Dracula impression.

If reports are to be believed, San Francisco 49ers quarterback Alex Smith is planning to ask for his release from the team before the free agent signing period begins on March 12. The 49ers are facing off against the Baltimore Ravens in the Super Bowl on Feb. 3.
This news comes courtesy of ProFootballTalk.com, which calls Smith "a luxury [the 49ers] can't afford." The site reports that the 49ers will trade Smith when it gets the chance because he is due to earn $8.5 million in 2013, but adds that Smith is looking to get off the team before it can trade him.
A source claims that Smith is "expected to seek his release before the start of free agency." The move is risky, as it means he'll "be able to join any team he wants," but also is risking losing the big bucks he'd get if the 49ers did trade his contract.

49ers head coach Jim Harbaugh has achieved a lot in his nearly 50 years.
As quarterback at the University of Michigan, he guided the team to two bowl games and was named to the 1986 All-American team. While playing in the NFL, he went to the 1995 Pro Bowl and, to this day, still holds the Chicago Bears record for most completions. He coached the Stanford football team to its best season in a generation and almost singlehandedly transformed the San Francisco 49ers from an under .500 team to one of the best in the NFL in a single season.
While all of the things are undeniably impressive, there's one thing that really stands out: guest-starring on Saved By The Bell: The New Class as the cousin of Samuel "Screech" Powers back in the 1990s when he was quarterback of the Indianapolis Colts.

Let me tell you that this time round, only one of those teams makes the top three. Here goes…

As we head into the second week of NFL action there were a few teams that gave quite the surprise on kickoff weekend. Did anyone expect the New York Jets offense to explode after idling through preseason? Or for Robert Griffin III to play out of his mind on the road in the Superdome? Or for the Denver Broncos offense to look so smooth guided by their new Qb, Peyton Manning?
Well that last one shouldn’t be a shocker, but after missing all of 2011, many experts were split as to what they’d see from Manning. On opening day, he didn’t miss a beat, knocking off the Pittsburgh Steelers 31-19 in an impressive win. Despite this great showing it was not enough for Denver to make the Cream Of The Crop this week.

Green Bay Packers - Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay passing game is just too good to not win the North. New running back Cedric Benson will be playing with a chip on his shoulder after going unwanted much of the off season. The defense is a question mark, but they get after the quarterback enough to offset some other defensive concerns.

Atlanta Falcons - I think the turmoil surrounding the New Orleans (N.O.) Saints will be enough to see the Falcons win the division. Not that Atlanta isn’t a very good team in their own right, but N.O. will have a lot to overcome. The Atlanta offense...

Welcome to the first installment of the NFL Cream Of The Crop. Each week, myself and fellow We Got This Covered writer, Lester Wiltfong will take a look at who we think are the best and worst NFL teams of the week.
We will alternate each week starting with me looking at the top three and Lester picking the bottom three.
So, as we head into the first week of the 2012 NFL season, here’s my top three teams, starting with:
1. New England Patriots
I will go out on a limb and predict that the Patriots will win the Super bowl this season. I think Tom Brady and company will avenge their loss to the Giants in last year’s finale and take the Lombardi trophy back to New England.
Tom Brady must still be considered one of the league’s best quarterbacks and head coach Bill Belichick is also...

While Mark Romanek's next directorial effort "Cinderella" continues to develop, he's been busy keeping his skills honed in the commercial world. Last year he directed that pretty weird Kia ad with the dancing hamsters, but he's back with something a bit more his flavor and has brought some pretty solid talent with him to assist.
Romanek has delivered a new ad for Nike Football with Kirk Baxter -- who won Oscars for editing David Fincher's "The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo" and "The Social Network" -- cutting it together. Featuring a brace of NFL stars including Troy Polamalu, Calvin Johnson, Darrelle Revis, LeSean McCoy, Ndamukong Suh, Alex Smith, Larry Fitzgerald and Marshawn Lynch, the spot emphasizes how the game has changed from the one your Dad used to watch, falling asleep on the couch on Sunday afternoons. Watch below. [AdWeek]...
