Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson and John Cena ready to battle it out at Wrestlemania

It felt like it was hotter than 100 degrees at the Eden Roc hotel this afternoon, but nothing could have prepared me for the heat brought on by Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson when he made his arrival to the WWE Press Conference kicking-off Wrestlemania events in Miami.

He was welcomed onto the stage with a roar of excitement from media attendees and a few lucky fans who scored seats at the press conference alongside myself and AccidentalSexiness’s wrestling correspondent Scott Fishman. The Rock is quite certain he can take down Cena, and I of course have no doubt, but Cena has been preparing for this match for a long time and won’t go down that easy.

I had the chance to talk to both men and as much as I’d love to say that I am Team Rock all the way, I can’t help but have some love for the man who is dedicating so much of his time to the Make-A-Wish Foundation. While in Miami, Cena is hosting the Make-A-Wish Pizza Party for more than 40 wish kids and their families from the United States, Canada, and Ireland at Jungle Island.

This isn’t his first time making wishes come true, according to his intro at the press conference, this is his 300th. The man definitely deserves some admiration, even from a die-hard Dwayne Johnson fan such as myself.

Another big match up is the women’s tag team match between WWE Women’s Champion Beth Phoenix and Latina beauty Eve against television host Maria Menounos and her partner Kelly Kelly. Beth was making fun of Maria after hearing she injured a few ribs during her current stint on Dancing with the Stars. While that is a bit of an advantage, I have no doubt Beth and Eve have the power to bring down Maria and Kelly Kelly.

I briefly chatted with David Otunga who was busy keeping WWE fans updated on the press conference via Twitter. He told me his fiance Jennifer Hudson would not be able to attend Wrestlemania on Sunday due to work commitments but to make up for it, she flew in 15 of his family members to be there for him!

Cheering extra loud on the big day? Their son David Otunga Jr! I bet the beautiful Ms. Hudson will be cheering from wherever she is for the extremely handsome and gracious Otunga.

Stay tuned for all the latest news going down here in Miami during Wrestlemania week! If you want to watch the full press conference, check it out below.

Super Bowl Trailers: ‘The Avengers’ and ‘G.I. Joe: Retaliation’

These are the moments when my inner fangirl jumps out and just wants to run around the street and knock everyones door and say, “Have you seen the new trailer for The Avengers?” For so long I’ve loved Robert Downey Jr as Iron Man and now Chris Hemsworth as Thor and lest we forget, Chris Evans as Captain America— and NOW they are all together in one film?!

They better clear the IMAX theater and let me watch on my own, I will probably cheer throughout the entire film. #notlying

Let me take a second to catch my breath…..

Another trailer that aired during tonights Super Bowl extravaganza was the one for G.I. Joe: Retaliation. After watching the first G.I. Joe I was sure that I would NEVER want to see another one but who can say no to Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson and Channing Tatum?

I am constantly reminded of how the first one didn’t look so bad on during the trailers so I will try not to get too excited.

Without further ado, here are the trailers!

Dwayne Johnson and Vin Diesel: The Bald and the Beautiful

I’m getting pretty tired of seeing all the amazing pictures coming out of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil from the Fast Five premiere! It’s been at least ten years since I’ve been to beautiful Brazil and what better incentive to sit on an airplane for nine hours than to see Vin Diesel and Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson?!

The bald bad boys were photographed along with [Read more...]

Dwayne Johnson shows Elsa Pataky the guns!

If you’d work as hard as former wrestler Dwayne Johnson does to look like this, you’d have everyone checking out the fruits of your labor too!

Johnson, formerly known as The Rock, and his co-star Elsa Pataky had a bit of fun in between shots of their new movie [Read more...]

Mark Wahlberg and Eva Mendes head to Cancun for the Summer of Sony

Cancun, one of the hottest destinations in the Caribbean, has just become even hotter. This past weekend, the destination welcomed some of Hollywood’s greatest actors, including The Other Guys stars Mark Wahlberg, Eva Mendes, and Dwayne Johnson.

The trio attended a special photo call for the upcoming Colombia Pictures’ release, The Other Guys. The action/comedy is set in New York City and it follows Detective Allen Gamble (Will Ferrell), a forensic accountant who’s more interested in paperwork than hitting the streets, and Detective Terry Hoitz (Mark Wahlberg), a tough guy who has been stuck with Allen as his partner [Read more...]

Dwayne Johnson is a Fairy

Tough guy Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson attended a photo call in support of his new movie entitled Tooth Fairy, also known as Hada Por Accidente in Mexico City today. I must call this exactly what it is, Brilliant Casting! Who would imagine the tooth fairy would look like a bulky former wrestler?

Johnson plays the role of Derek Thompson, a hard-charging minor league hockey player who is sentenced to one week’s hard labor as a real tooth fairy, complete with the requisite pink tutu, wings and magic wand after he discourages a youngster’s hopes.

He told USA Today who he likes to channel the same kind of characters that he loved growing up.

Actors Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson and Samuel L. Jackson kept the streets of New York busy this weekend. The duo, that were dressed like cops, were filming scenes from their new movie, The Other Guys.

I love buddy cop movies and I’m almost wishing the focus of this film was on Johnson & Jackson. The leads, being played by Mark Wahlberg and Will Ferrell, were filming in New York last week.

In this scene, Danson and Manzetti (Johnson & Jackson) are being awarded medals during a press conference.
