Yes, it is all about that bass. But would you risk your own well being for a bigger booty? According to the Dallas Morning News, police have issued warrants for two Dallas women who allegedly performed butt injections without a license. A woman claims be suffering from psychological side effects and soreness in her body as a result of receiving the procedure from Jimmy Joe Clarke, 31, and Denise Rochelle Ross, 43. She reportedly paid $520 for a session that included being injected by syringes with water-based saline, only to have the holes “closed with super glue and cotton balls.” According to the affidavit, the woman was screaming “in agony” and instructed to be quiet, then given two tubes of super glue to bring home in case the injection spots leaked. Super legit. Clarke and Ross are also being investigated in connection with a women’s death in February.

Written, directed and edited by Micah Brock, and inspired by the beat em up games of the early 1990′s such as Streets of Rage, Final Fight and Double Dragon, Slug Street Scrappers 3 is a fantastic independent action movie that features a whole wealth of martial artists including Shaun Charney, Katelyn Brooke, Micah “Kwonkicker” Brock, Anna Ranoso, Tess Kielhamer, Dominic Sherman, Andy Le, Brian Le, Mari Saito, Rocky Chavez, Maggie Clarke, Narayana Cabral, Mason Sharrow, Joe Clarke and Blake Lindquist.
Bruiser Bom-Bash, a man who holds the coveted Scrapper title of, “Toughest in Town”, is well-known on Slug Street… and well-loathed. He is particularly hated by former title-holder, Peaches Powers (who also happens to be his ex-girlfriend). To this day, Peaches has never learned why she was dumped by Bruiser, and has never forgiven him for it. But, when new facts about the purpose of the Slug Street Scrappers come to light,...

Elizabeth Halsey (Cameron Diaz) is no Jaime Escalante. She’s no Joe Clark, either, or Louanne Johnson, though she shows movies about them (“Stand and Deliver,” “Lean on Me” and “Dangerous Minds”) in her classroom. “Movies are the new books,” she explains to her skeptical principal Wally Snur (John Michael Higgins). This is the least of her offenses.
She drinks. She does drugs. She swears. She only cares about teaching at all when she realizes she could earn a bonus based on year-end test scores, and then she throws dodgeballs at the kids when they get an answer wrong.

Country and rock and roll collided Friday (January 22) when Sheryl Crow, Keith Urban and Kid Rock joined forces to perform the hit song "Lean on Me" during MTV's "Hope for Haiti Now: A Global Benefit for Earthquake Relief."
Written by Bill Withers and released in 1972 on his second album Still Bill, "Lean on Me" was inspired by Withers' small-town upbringing in the mining community of Slab Fork, West Virginia — a close-knit atmosphere Withers pined for after moving to L.A. The song hit #1 on July 8, 1972, and remained on the charts for 19 weeks. In 2004, the song was ranked #205 on Rolling Stone's 500 Greatest Songs of All Time list.

Like the uplifting sports films we've all come to expect every year, another subgenre has become almost as predictable in its execution: the story of an inspirational teacher showing a group of misfit kids that they're underestimating their potential as he drives them towards accomplishing a seemingly impossible goal. Alcon Entertainment is throwing another one of these stories our way as THR reports that they have purchased a pitch called Speed Boyz about "real-life engineer-turned-teacher Simon Hauger, who inspired a group of troubled Philadelphia high schoolers to win a competition to build an alternative-fuel vehicle." The pitch comes from screenwriter Michael Schiffer who had success with a similar story in Lean on Me, a drama that starred Morgan Freeman as real-life, hard-nosed New Jersey high school principal Joe Clark. The pitch for Speed Boyz based on the true story: "when Hauger launched an unorthodox curriculum in 1998 to improve students' performance...

Twenty years later, screenwriter Michael Schiffer is heading back down the rough-and-tumble halls of high school.
In 1989, Schiffer's screenplay for "Lean on Me" became a Warner Bros. drama that starred Morgan Freeman as real-life, hard-nosed New Jersey high school principal Joe Clark. Now Schiffer has sold his pitch "Speed Boyz" to Alcon Entertainment, and it concerns real-life engineer-turned-teacher Simon Hauger, who inspired a group of troubled Philadelphia high schoolers to win a competition to build an alternative-fuel vehicle.
The pitch sale was in the mid-six-figure range.
The Gotham Group's Ellen Goldsmith-Vein and Lindsay Williams are producing along with Broderick Johnson and Andrew Kosove of Alcon. Gotham's Jeremy Bell and Alcon's Steven Wegner will exec produce.
Hauger, a math teacher, launched an unorthodox curriculum in 1998 to improve students' performance in math and science. The kids went on to win the annual Tour de Sol -- a national green car competition...

With Diablo Cody’s new high school horror film Jennifer’S Body tearing it’s way onto screens this Friday and school itself getting back into session, it’s the perfect opportunity to honor that age old character staple of high school movies, the one that everyone loves to hate, the bane of teenage existence… the high school principle! (Make believe, of course, no offense to any high school principles who may be reading this… or, not!) We’ve decided to take a look back on all the great movies about high school and compile a list of our most favorite of the less-than-favorable members of the cinematic school staff.
