At last...Katie Price owns up that she's dating Leandro, whilst she says they're sleeping as one

She gives the impression to be a bit puzzled even if, as she assumes this is a 'blind date' - we're pretty definite she's seen Leandro before

If there's one star we can far ever rely on to make us laugh, it's Katie Price. Which is why hearing that she'd disclosed photographers who snapped her and on/off boyfriend Leandro Penna coming out of a hotel that they had broken her 'blind date' made us do a rather loud chuckle at our desk.

In spite of clearly confusing the meaning of blind date – specifically that one goes on said date with a man one hasn't met before, sooner than one's own real boyfriend who resides at one's house (no idea why we're discussing like this) - the news is that Katie at least acknowledged that it was a date.

Just she's been saying that the two are only friends. In spite of the truth they split up because they couldn't converse the same language, which generally proves something of a barrier for friendships.

But don't fret! Because Leandro's on the case with that. As a minimum we feel he is, his tweets are pretty baffling.

"How I adore sleeping with the person I love in my arms. @MissKatiePrice," he said. "Now on my way to college to have perfect communication."

Astonishing so far, and so it continues...

"I love to feel the beating of your heart and the warmth of your body against mine two become one and the world is our oyster @MissKatiePrice (sic)."

Katie and Leandro were coming out of the grand Sanctum Hotel in London when she obviously told paps: "Thanks for ruining my blind date".

She was dressed casually for her night out, in a pink jumper and jeans, while Leandro was wearing a very feminine white scarf. We love it though - so much we want one ourselves.

All of this (well not the scarf, that's incidental) can be taken as facts that Katie and Leandro are formally back on, after separation at the end of last year. This is lovely. We can believe the beating of our hearts getting closer at the every thought. 

Twitter to choose 'edited' tweets by country

Twitter has pronounced that it now has the technology to discriminately jam tweets on a country by country basis.  

 

In its blog, Twitter said it could "immediately hold back content from users in a particular country". But it said the eliminated content would be accessible to the rest of the world. Earlier when Twitter removed a tweet, it would evaporate internationally.

The decision comes at a time when the firm is in the procedure of increasing its business internationally. In its blog post, Twitter described that its worldwide expansion meant inflowing countries "that have special ideas about the contours of freedom of expression", quoting France or Germany which prohibit pro-Nazi content as examples.

"Beginning today, we give ourselves the capability to reactively hold back content from users in a particular country - while keeping it accessible in the rest of the world," the firm said in a blog post titled Tweets Must Flow.

"We haven't until now utilize this talent, but if and when we are need to keep back a tweet in a specific country, we will try to let the user know, and we will straight forwardly  mark when the content has been withheld," it added.

A large numbers of Twitter users have showed disappointment over the move, with some indicating the harmful impact it would have on free speech, particularly outside the US.

Twitter, including other social networking sites like Facebook, has played a crucial - if undecided- role in sorting out everything from the Arab Spring to the London riots in 2011, according to the BBC's technology correspondent Rory Cellan-Jones.

Though, the micro-blogging service - which said it had in excess of 100 million operating users as of September 2011 - has also had to poise local laws with free speech in the process.

The blog statement agreed that Twitter would not be proficient to operate in all countries, saying: "Some differ so much from our ideas that we will not be able to survive there."

Twitter is opposed in China, where micro-blogging substitutes recognize as Weibo have rushed in recognition in the past year.

A newly ‘Twitter record’ has been made during Women’s World Cup final

A fresh Twitter record for premier amount of tweets posted per second has been established during the peak of the Women’s football World Cup.

The final match, between Japan and America, which finished in a nail-biting penalty shoot-out, facilitated set a fresh Twitter record, with 7,196 tweets posted per second.

So far, the record had been placed by the amount of Twitter action in Japan on New Years Eve in 2010, which at its climax, 6,939 tweets were posted per second.

Even US President Barack Obama added to the Twitter storm, tweeting: “unbelievable performance from #USWNT, no matter what happens. Now on to penalties, let's triumph this.” Japan finished up taking the title home.

Previous year, the men’s World Cup final distinct the largest ever period of sustained tweeting, with over 2,000 tweets per second during the final 15 minutes of the game.

Other biggest news occasions such as the Royal Wedding in the UK earlier this year saw massive ruptures of Twitter action, with 3,966 tweets published per second.

In the same way the death of Osama Bin Laden created a biggest flow in Twitter activity, reaching a high of 5,106 tweets per second.

Last week Twitter celebrated its fifth anniversary since making its bursting public debut. The site has more than 200 million users, who are sharing 350 billion links a day.

Oh Internet, You Think You Know Us Or Something?

Who needs to come up with their own clever tweets when the website 'That Can Be My Next Tweet' will do all the heavy lifting for you. The tweet you see above was the result I got when I put TheWizWit's twitter handle in. The site just scans every tweet you've ever posted and tries to make a coherent sentence out of random words and phrases you've used in the past. A lot of the time it makes absolutely no sense. But I was bored and kept hitting 'get your next tweet' about 180 times. Hit the jump to see some of the better randomness this site spit out for TheWizWit.

Cliff Lee. Boom.

Here Is What Asante Samuel Has To Say About Jay Cutler

So basically, Jay Cutler is bitch.  But that's not all Asante had to say.  He took to his Twitter on multiple other occasions last night to let everyone knows what he thinks about Señor Cutler. 

Hit the jump to see some more trash talk from "The President CB".

He wasn't the only one either.  Maurice Jones-Drew had a good tweet.  Actually make that two.  So did Darnell Dockett.  Even Anthony Armstrong got in on the fun.

Personally, I don't think Cutler quit on his team.  This was the biggest game of his career.  If he could've gone, he would have.  It's not like this was a random Week 4 game against the 49ers or something.  This was the NFC Championship game.  Give the guy a little credit.

But for his sake, his MRI better come back with some torn shit.

Kevin Durant Offers to Drink Scarlett Johansson's Bath Water

Me? I'd rather just have sex with her.  To each his own, I guess.

4AM is Never Too Early to Make Fun of the NY Giants

The season might be over, but I was delighted to see Shady McCoy still talking shit. Even as he's partying his ass off into the wee hours of the morning, he took time out to take a little dig at the Giants and I think that’s pretty friggin cool. It makes him feel more like a real person rather than just some apathetic, high maintenance athlete. Maybe diva-ness doesn't kick in til year 3 of your NFL career. Anywho, glad to see Shady is enjoying himself.

Jose Canseco is Still Crazy, Likely Intoxicated

Dude lives in an alternate reality. Only in Jose Canseco's mind will he challenge you to a softball hitting contest, call out YouTube for no reason, then go back to his laboratory to concoct magical potions.

Seems like everything he's ever said has turned out true though. So until proven otherwise I guess I'm forced to believe he can hit softballs to the moon and slow down the human aging process.

Ladies - Marreese Speights Would Prefer You Put Down That Sammich

Sorry girls, when Marreese is out and about yall better tuck your muffin tops away.  According to his Twitter last night, Speights encountered quite a few of you.  He's blaming it on your constant consumption of cheesesteaks, scrapple, and grease-shakes. 

As you can see from this earlier tweet, this was a problem he encountered all night long. You can start the tweet-delete countdown now.

Whatever.  Anyway, Speights shouldn't be worrying about our Philly girls, and instead concentrate on the upcoming season.  Especially considering he's a guy who hasn't exactly had the best conditioning himself.  Just sayin'.

Twitter Role Models: Drunk Marreese Speights Edition

Mr. Speights would like his fans to know that he got laid last night.  Personally, I've never been drunk to the point of "ass fuck", but I guess it depends on who you're with. 

Ladies, if you can't bang Marreese Speights for more than 30 minutes, don't get drunk "ass fuck" with him, please.

*As you might've guessed, this tweet has since been deleted. 

UPDATE! - the tweet is actually just some lyrics from the song Takin It There by Young Jeezy.  We apologize.  TheWizWit is disappointed as both fans of Jeezy and as fans of athletes using Twitter to describe sexual encounters.  Carry on.

DeSean Jackson Could've Died Last Night

No details have been released regarding how ‘popn’ the event was at the time of the shooting.

Also, if you read DeSean’s twitter, how surprised are you that the Eagles don’t ask him to stop tweeting things like "U gay" and “Fucc you” to people? I love the freedom of speech, but with how sensitive our media is with what athletes say (or Tweet), this is a slow-motion car crash if I've ever seen it.

But seriously, thank you God. Philadelphia needs the wonderfully ignorant and entertaining DeSean Jackson, you know, alive.

Elton Brand is Totally Available, Billy

Not too much else for me to say - Bill Simmons summed that up pretty well. Enjoy all the long, terrible contracts and head-scratching trades!

Just be careful Nets fans - Kenny Thomas AND Brian Skinner are free agents right now.

Now if only the Sixers current GM wasn’t Eddie Stefanski…

That LeBron Heel Turn Seemed Pretty Successful

LeBron James hate-sites are predictably popping up all over the place. The shirt to the left is from kissmyasslebron.com.

Regardless of what you personally think about LeBron, his decision, or ESPN, you have to admit this was pretty much the quickest and most abrupt heel turn since Hulk Hogan joined the nWo. Right now, LeBron James is the athlete people love to hate – especially the poor bastards in Cleveland. You thought Philly hated Michael Irvin? Cleveland's level of hatred is ten times greater.

So with that, we’ll leave you with one last piece of internet fodder before TheWizWit (hopefully) closes the LeBron James chapter for the foreseeable future:


Apparently, even Michael Beasley's dad is taking shots at LeBron. Check out the post below that appeared on his twitter the other day.

Mike Beasley Sr. has been an avid tweeter for some time now and has given his thoughts on various other events going on in his sons' life.  So this is indeed from Papa Beasley himself, and not some imposter.
 
And of course, if you didn't think Beasley and Delonte West shared a resemblance, our friend Darnell Dockett tweeted a side-by-side picture:

Yup, that pretty much confirms it. Dude definitely looks like Delonte West. Minus that whole herpes-lip thing Delonte has goin’ on anyway.

Gucci Bag Full of Cash & Jewelry: Twitter Summer Roundup

Floyd Mayweather tweeted the photo to the left over the holiday weekend. The tweet itself read "Just gambling a bit in Atlantic City". Staring at Floyd's bricks of money got us thinking... what have athletes been up to this summer? And how much better are their lives than ours?

So we hastily searched scoured the Twitter universe to see what guys have been getting into over the last couple months. A few are as normal as you and me. But plenty of others are definitely living the wild and partying lifestyle of a professional athlete. Except for one familiar face, anyway.

Before we get into that - let me just tell you that, for the most part, athletes use Twitter for dumb shit. Most guys seem to only post about their morning workouts and what movie they're watching. Oh, and the food. THE FOOD!  If you're wondering when your favorite football players' feeding times are, follow them on Twitter.

Anyway, first we have LeSean McCoy, who’s doing pretty much what you'd expect a young, budding NFL star to do - go to Vegas, get wild, and (likely) bang strangers.  Cash AND jewels!

While at the club, Visanthe Shiancoe likes to take part in one of my favorite past-times – judging strangers!  (Although I'm willing to bet this wasn't as fascinating as he thought it was when he continued to tweet about it the following day.)

Darnell Dockett probably has the best NFL Twitter. The guy tweets whatever is on his mind and whatever is going on his life. No filter; I like that. Plus he can transcend fortune and relate to any college student/ poor person.

What would the list be without DeSean Jackson? For every 50 terrible Twitter accounts, there’s a guy like DeSean. He ALWAYS has something goin’ on. Did you know that -- according to DeSean's Twitter -- there were 9 events this summer that were “popn”? No? Well that's probably because DeSean Jackson is rich and famous and cooler than you. Seriously, the guy hangs out with Snoop…. often.

And lastly we have Jason Avant. He’s what you’d call the exception to the rule. No parties. No clubs. No fun. Here's a photo taken during the grand opening of his proudest investment. The "With This Ring Wedding Chapel”. Yep, a wedding chapel business on Vine Street. Apparently Avant is all preachy about marriage and really wants young people to get hitched. So if you’re in the market, check out their Tuesday - Thursday Elopement Special - only $185!  I'm not sure, but I'm guessing Jason Avant is at the core of our nation's high divorce rate.

And just look at the poor guy on the right.  He's downright disgusted by the whole thing.  Seconds after this photo was taken, he gave Avant the Gas Face.

Rick Reilly Has A Vuvuzela Shoved Up His Hindquarters

Did you happen to catch Reilly’s article over on ESPN today? He seems to be awful bitchy about the World Cup.

Actually, pretty much just the vuvuzela in particular.

He wrote a completely worthless 1100 words outlining the ‘10 most annoying things about watching the World Cup’. You can read it HERE, but seriously, don't waste your time. It's shit.  And let me just take a second to say that I don't hate on Reilly as much as some people do. I'm kind of indifferent towards him. But he really does throw up some lazy nonsense now and then.

The whole thing is a little too 'smug American' to me. He could've been way more creative, but instead just comes off as another American writer bitching about soccer. To be honest, I'm not even sure why he's hating on the World Cup so hard. You don't need to complain about it or try and find ways to ‘improve’ it. It's not an American sport. If you don’t like, that’s cool. Don't watch. I'm not a soccer guy, and don't find the World Cup being forced down my throat at all.

Anyway, if vuvuzelas are what makes Reilly's brain hemorrhage, then I wish him a long Bzzzzzzzzzz'ing death. Wanna help speed that process up? Then download the official vuvuzela app on the iPhone. It’s the number 3 free app in the country right now.

 

 And if you don’t have an iPhone, you can keep up on all things vuvuzela on twitter at twitter.com/The_Vuvuzela. If only Reilly was half as creative or funny as the guy who created that twitter account.

I Never Noticed Either, Jay

I'm kind of surprised I never noticed that.  The Angels are quite a silly organization.  Are Bob Sugar and I the only people who hadn't realized this before? 

For no good reason, I blame it all on Tim Salmon.
