Interview: Chad Johnson

Topic: Hollywood

Cincinatti Bengals wide receiver Chad Johnson is entering the realm of acting with the online and on-demand series, "The Rookie" based on Fox's hit show, "24."  We talked with Chad about "The Rookie," his charity work, and his forays into the world of gaming.

Have you always wanted to act?

Always.  Its  one of my loves.  Acting is part of what I do every Sunday and its fun. It’s going to be my second job.  I’m going to do as much of it as possible during the off season.

How is acting similar to football?

[In football], you also have to get into character and you have to love what you do.  The same thing goes with acting.  You have the script, you put yourself into character.  You play a character in a script just like you play a character on the field.

You appeared on the cover of EA's "NFL Street 3" and narrate the tutorials … are you a gamer?  Any favorites?  Any plans to do more? 

Yes, if I have the time to.  My favorites are Madden, of course. 

Any thoughts about a Chad Johnson reality show?

Its in the making.  I just finished filming two days ago [in Miami]. 

Tell us about you charity project, “Feed the Children.”

I started with two years ago.  My agent came to me with the project, I wanted to be involved in helping the kids in Africa.  Its really bad out there – I don’t think people understand. 

Tell us about your character in "The Rookie."

Agent Ocho is an undercover surveillance expert.  I can’t tell you any more than that.  Go to degreerookie.com and check it out.

Weird Wire: Man Fends Off Thief With Ham

Topic: Weird Wire™

Need a good reason NOT to clean out your freezer? Well, you could always use freezer products as a means of self-defense.  A Gloucester, MA restaurant-owner, for example, recently fended off a thief with a frozen ham. From the article:

Joe Scola says he heard a noise in his Scola's Place restaurant in Gloucester, Mass., and saw a man trying to get away with his arms full of meat taken from the restaurant freezer.

The restaurant owner had a frozen ham in his hand and slammed it into the man's face, making a gash. The stunned thief dropped his loot and ran.

Wow ... the grocery store's freezer section never seemed so foreboding.

(And watch out, potential thieves, I have a bag of uneaten frozen cocktail shrimp and I know how to use it!)

Weird Wire: When Beauty Hurts...

Topic: Weird Wire™

Sure, we've all had the experience of walking away from the hairdresser with a disastrous 'do, but have you ever resorted to violence over your coiffe?  Pennsylvania hairdresser Monique Reed became so enraged with a complaining client that shots were fired.  From the article:

Lauren Newton, 28, was getting her hair cut Thursday at the home of Monique Reed when the two began to argue about the style, police said.

"She (Reed) went to the bedroom, got a gun, fired a shot in the ceiling," Police Chief James Blyth said. Newton, who was trying to flee with her sister, was then shot in the lower back, he said.

 Newton's injuries were not considered life threatening. She was taken to a hospital in nearby Pittsburgh for treatment.

 Hmm ... a violent hairdresser.  Sounds familiar.  So, will Johnny Depp play Reed in the film version?

Interview: Gamesviller phlipphlop

Gamesviller "phlipphlop" of Aurora, IL recently won $200  in the Weekly Sweepstakes and answered some of our questions. Congratulations, phlipphlop!

GV: What will you spend your winnings on?
phlipphlop: Me! A little pampering is in order.

What are your favorite games on Gamesville? Why?
I absolutely LOVE Bubblepopper.  It allows me to come home from a long, hard day at work and forget all.  By the time I'm ready for bed, I am extremely relaxed and carefree.  And most of all, it's probably one of the easier games I can play and win. . . sometimes!

What are your most unusual talents?
An uncanny memory.  Because I have an extensive experience in Customer Service, I remember names instantaneously.

When not on Gamesville, what are your favorite ways to spend time?
Online shopping. . .  I'm big on pampering myself. That's why I'm playing more on Gamesville, so I can win the monthly prize.  Hey, I'm high maintenance!
