Liberation Entertainment Acquires US Theatrical and DVD Rights to KICKING IT

Netflix to distribute to subscribers and stream simultaneously with ESPN Broadcast

Liberation Entertainment and Netflix's Red Envelope Entertainment (REE) jointly today announced that they have signed unique distribution deals for the documentary KICKING IT. Produced by award-winning filmmaker Ted Leonsis (Nanking) and directed by Susan Koch (Mario's Story, City at Peace), KICKING IT chronicles the personal struggles and triumphs of seven soccer players from six countries who participated in the 4th Annual Homeless World Cup.

The film is both compelling entertainment and a specific effort to stimulate public discussion and charitable involvement. A week ago, just prior to KICKING IT's Sundance Film Festival world premiere, ESPN acquired exclusive television rights worldwide, and agreed to execute the film's digital distribution as well as to advance the film's distribution on other media platforms.

Under today's announcement, Liberation will be handling North American and Central American theatrical, DVD and ancillary rights to the film. Breaking with traditional release windows, the ESPN broadcast premiere will follow theatrical release, and the film will be provided by REE to Netflix subscribers to rent on DVD or watch instantly on a PC, day-and-date with the ESPN broadcast premiere, when DVD sales via Liberation will begin.

REE will also promote the ESPN broadcast of KICKING IT to Netflix subscribers via their iconic mailers. CAA and Submarine represented the producers in the negotiations with Liberation and Netflix.

Giants: 'We Almost Beat The Patriots Once, We Can Almost Beat Them Again'

NEW YORK—As they come closer to their Super Bowl clash with the formidable Patriots—the team they nearly defeated in late December—the Giants are confident that they can come close to beating the undefeated AFC champions on football's biggest stage.

"This team has already tasted victory against the Patriots," head coach Tom Coughlin said Monday. "By which I mean we were so close to victory that we could taste it. True, we did not actually experience that victory, but we came as close to beating them as anyone else has this season. That's the kind of team we believe we are, and I think the Super Bowl will prove that."

Proof That You Can Find Anything On Craigs List

Pink Upholstered Vagina Couch

For Sale - beautiful pink "vagina couch" that was made in art school and there is no longer space for. The couch is large: measures 5' 3" long, 3' 3" wide at the middle, and stands 2' 3" tall (and is heavy like a couch). The pics are from a portfolio and are several years old; as a result, the couch has some scuffmarks and stains around the bottom from being moved, but otherwise is in excellent shape. A professional upholsterer helped build the couch, so it is also functional and durable as a piece of furniture. The couch must be picked up in Mendocino, a 3-hour drive north of SF. The asking price is $600 and a loving home!

Burt Reynolds Will Kick Your Ass!

Watch out! Burt Reynolds is on the attack and has issued a threat to fans who try to steal his toupee, he’ll beat them up. The 71-year-old admits he slips on a wig to cover up his baldness when he is in public, but he is confident he can tackle any pranksters who try to snatch it from his head.

Reynolds tells Maxim magazine, “I wear wigs once in a while. Sometimes I do, sometimes I don’t. It’s all a joke really. I always say, ‘If you can get it off my head before I kick all the air out of your body, let’s do that. One good thing, no matter how old I get, is that people say, ‘He’s crazy; he’ll kick you.’ I have that reputation, so I just stick with it.”

Incase you want to test him out, he will be hitting the red carpet soon when his new animated comedy ‘Delgo’ is released. Don’t say I didn’t warn you, he’s one fiesty dude! ;)

HA! Derober.com has just offered up a $200 bounty to whoever snatches Burt Reynold’s wig! Check them out for more details!

Sparano New Coach of Dolphins

DAVIE, Fla. (AP) — Tony Sparano is going to work for Bill Parcells again, this time as coach of the Miami Dolphins.

Sparano, who had been the Dallas Cowboys' assistant head coach, accepted a job offer Wednesday from new Miami boss Parcells. They worked together with the Cowboys when Parcells was head coach from 2003-06. Sparano becomes the Dolphins' fifth head coach since 2004. Parcells was on the job for only a week before he fired Cam Cameron, who went 1-15 in his first year as an NFL head coach.

The new coach paid tribute to Parcells at a news conference after the announcement. "Coach Parcells has taught me the most, prepared me the most for this job," Sparano said. "He's taught me a great deal and I'm going to continue to learn as much as I can." The 46-year-old Sparano became available when the Cowboys lost their playoff game Sunday to the New York Giants. He has been the front-runner for the Dolphins job since the start of their search.

Sparano arrived at the team complex Wednesday morning wearing a suit and accompanied by new Miami general manager Jeff Ireland. Owner Wayne Huizenga soon joined them, then left about an hour later.

Ireland, who spent the past seven years in player personnel with the Cowboys, first interviewed Sparano in Dallas on Jan. 5.

Those wacky Canadians Are At It Again!

Man accidentally hangs self in amateur stunt

VANCOUVER, British Columbia (Reuters) - A man was recovering in a Vancouver-area hospital after an attempt to film a mock hanging as a stunt accidentally became the real thing, police said on Thursday.

The 23-year-old man thought he had protected himself by wearing a harness when he went to a suburban park on Wednesday to have a friend record him dangling lifelessly from a tree, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police said.

"Unfortunately things did not go as planned and the male was unintentionally hung from the rope he had placed around his neck," according to a police spokesman who said the friend initially did not realize anything was wrong.

Neither man was trained as a stunt actor, according to the police statement that added: "The 'Don't Try This at Home!' disclaimers on commercials and movies are there for a reason."

Commuters' body heat to warm office

STOCKHOLM (Reuters) - A Swedish state-owned firm has found a cheap, eco-friendly source of energy to warm one of its offices: body heat from a quarter million commuters steaming through Stockholm's central train station.

Body heat already warms the station itself but the surplus, currently let out in thin air, will be redirected to provide as much as 15 percent of the heating in a planned 4,000 square meter office building, real estate firm Jernhusen said.

"We had a look at it and thought 'We might actually be able to use this'," said Karl Sundholm, project leader at Jernhusen, which also owns the station. "This feels good. Instead of just airing the leftover heat out we try to make use of it."

Jernhusen markets the building as "environment smart" and aims for its energy consumption to be half of what a corresponding building usually is.

The bodily warmth from the central station will be redirected to heat up water. The investment will be around 200,000 Swedish crowns ($31,200), Sundholm said.

"The ventilator aggregates are already there, and even some of the pipes. All we need to do is complement with a few pumps and pipes."

Pig + Space Heater = House Fire

ST. AUGUSTINE, Fla. -- A man's effort to keep his pig warm during Wednesday night's freeze ended up starting a fire that caused about $50,000 in damages to his St. Johns County home.

Firefighters were called about 10:20 p.m. when a home on Frances Avenue caught on fire. They later learned the homeowner brought his pig onto the porch and put out a space heater to keep it warm.

The pig apparently knocked over the heater, which started the fire, according to St. Johns County Fire-Rescue investigators.

Why Not Just Throw In Jail For Being Stupid?

Family jailed over baggy pants incident

WELLINGTON, Fla., Dec. 30 (UPI) -- Twenty deputies, two canine units and a police helicopter were summoned to a mall in Florida to arrest a family in a case that began with baggy jeans.

Frantz Leger, 20, of Wellington, and six members of his family, including his mother and father, were arrested at The Mall in Wellington Green, The Palm Beach Post reported Sunday. Leger, a business major at Florida State University, was banned from the mall last summer for wearing his pants too low and his return Thursday prompted an arrest for trespassing, the Post reported.

The situation erupted into chaos when Leger's relatives tried to prevent his arrest and mall security called for help, said Lt. Jay Hart of the county sheriff's office.

"The mall doesn't put up with that tomfoolery bullcrap," Hart said. "His

pants were down below his butt. No one goes to the mall and wants to see

the crack of someone's butt."

The Leger family says they are hiring a lawyer because sheriff's deputies verbally and physically abused them, which Hart denies.

Cancer-fighting agent found in beer

MUNICH, Germany, Dec. 31 (UPI) -- A key ingredient of beer may contain a cancer-fighting substance, a German study indicated.

Studies indicated xanthohumol, found in hops, inhibits a family of enzymes that can trigger the cancer process, as well as help the body detoxify carcinogens, science newswire Ivanhoe reported Monday. Preliminary studies at Oregon State University show that xanthohumol can kill breast, colon, ovarian and prostate cancers.

"It's very healthy. I think the ingredients in the beer are very good," Werner Back of Brewing Technology at the Technical University of Munich.

Xanthohumol contains more powerful antioxidants than vitamin E and some studies indicate it helps reduce oxidation of bad cholesterol, the newswire reported.

"Xanthohumol has been shown to be a very active substance against cancer," said Markus Herrmann , also in Munich. "It comes in small sticky beads, which you find within the hops."

But don't frost that mug just yet. It would take 60 regular beers to equal the amount of xanthohumol German researchers are able to brew in their one super beer.

12-year-old catches 551-pound bull shark in Florida waters
