Reggie Bush, on his real name Reginald Alfred Bush II, is a professional football player from the US who plays in the National Football League. He played for the New Orleans Saints but these days he started a new contract with another team from NFL, Miami Dolphins.

The former New Orleans Saints running back won the Super Bowl Title in 2010 with the New Orleans Saints. He played as a running back for the Saints since 2006 and this is the only team from the NFL for which he has ever played. But starting with the upcoming season  he won`t be a Saint anymore because he has been traded to the Miami Dolphins for backup safety Jonathon Amaya and handed a new two-year contract worth $10 million.

Bush is officially the new player of the Miami Dolphins since Friday, but he cannot practice with his new team until August 4 according to the NFL standing orders. He participated to the last Miami Dolphins practice watching his new teammates at work and standing arms crossed near the playing field. Reggie said that he can`t wait to bring his contribution on the field for his new team and to lead them to many victories. He said that Miami is a great city to play for and to live in. Bush will be probably used at first as a running back and he will be for sure the one who will lead the ground game. He said that he had waited for this opportunity since he started playing football and he will use his status of team leader to help the young and not such experimented teammates. His experience gained in five years spent in the NFL will be for sure useful for the Miami Dolphins, a team that has many young and aspiring players.

During his career, Reggie Bush suffered a couple of injuries which kept him from evolving at his best, but when he is not injured or recovering he is a great kick returner and receiver out of the backfield. He scored for the New Orleans Saint 33 touchdowns and he gained almost 4980 yards for his former team.

On his Twitter, Bush wished the New Orleans Saints good luck and he thanked the New Orleans Saints fans. He said that he will miss the team and the fans and he also wrote: “Change is never easy but I look forward to building something special in Miami and can’t wait to embark on this new journey!”

Reggie Bush is also famous for dating Kim Kardashian. They were together for a few years but their relationship couldn`t last because of their very busy schedules and because of the distance between the places they lived that kept them to see each other more often. Reggie lived in New Orleans and Kim in Miami. Now that Reggie will play for the Miami Dolphins the distance problem could be solved. But Reggie`s trade to Miami Dolphins came a little too late because Kim is engaged with another athlete, Kris Humphries, a basketball player and they will get married on August 20.

Zara Anne Elizabeth Philips is the granddaughter of Elisabeth II, Queen of the Great Britain and Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh. She is the daughter of Princess Royal Anne and she is the 13^th in the line of succession to the throne of the Commonwealth Realm.

As she is involved in many sports activities, her boyfriends were from the sports field. She was engaged with the jockey Richard Johnson but their relationship didn`t last mostly because of the huge attention the paparazzi showed when it came to this couple. So, in 2003 they split and after a short while, Zara met Mike Tindall, a rugby player in 2003 in Australia, during England`s Rugby World Cup Winning campaign. He is the captain of the England team and he plays outside centre for Premiership side Gloucester. After a seven year romance, they have decided to get married so, on 21 December 2010 they have announced their engagement. They live together for a while at their home in Gloucestershire, where Tindall plays rugby.

Their wedding will be held on 30 July 2011 in Edinburgh, Scotland at the Canongate Kirk. But this second big royal wedding of the year is not as famous as William`s wedding with Kate. The royal wedding from April brought millions of people on the streets of London. Zara`s cousin had the most expected and publicized wedding of the century and no wedding can beat that for now. The upcoming wedding is seen more as a wedding between two sports personalities that a royal wedding. There will be no cameras at the ceremony and inside the church because the couple prefers to keep their wedding more private that the wedding William and Kate had.

The reception before the wedding will be held on the royal yacht Britannia on Friday night. It was Zara`s wish to have the reception on the old Britannia in the wedding`s eve because she has many beautiful memories from the royal yacht. At the cocktail reception there are expected around 150 guests. At the wedding there are expected many royals and the bride`s cousin, William and his wife Kate, Duchess of Cambridge are for sure the most important guests at this summer royal wedding from Scotland.

Tindall himself said that after the wedding, the couple will not be able to have a honeymoon because he and Zara are very busy and have lots of commitments the next period of time. The rugby player has managed to integrate into his next bride family. He met the royal family and he said that he had several meetings with William and Harry and that they are normal people despite of their status.

England team`s captain also known as “The Fridge” is usually on command, but we can`t say the same when it comes to the wedding and to his relationship with the Queen`s granddaughter. But although Zara takes the decisions in their relationship, Tindall refused to take her and her mother`s advice and to get a nose operation before the wedding.

We love Alien movies.

And with the recent spate of Alien attacking earth movies and series that have been hitting our big and small screens, (Battlefield: Los Angeles, Falling Skies, Transformers etc) we can only welcome another such type movie.

Battleship with Liam Neeson!

This looks to be another kick ass movie where aliens come to earth with some plan and we kick their asses back to whereever they came from.

I for one am a HUGE fan of scifi movies like this because of the budgets put into such movies. The explosions and special effects are worth paying to experience at the movies.

Take a look at this trailer and tell me that it doesn’t get your attention if you are a scifi junkie.
