Ultimate Fighting Overtakes Boxing
and Wrestling in Popularity
1 Year
After watching Ultimate Fighting on pay per view last weekend I was impressed with the product. Surprisingly there is a lot of strategy involved and some pretty spectacular moments. The event took place in Los Angeles and had a number of "A" list celebrities in the audience. So is this sport going to break out and catch a wider audience?

Each week you would get points for a celeb making the cover plus less points per photo inside. You're also docked points if your celeb makes the "Fashion Police" section. See the topic details for more of the rules...

"Lost" will end with it all being a
lame dream sequence
5 Years
Could it be possible after sprouting a million plot lines that the biggest TV show around could end with it all being a lame dream sequence?
