On Infinite Challenge

As the main host of two talk shows (Come to Play and Happy Together Season 3), Yoo tries to differentiate his hosting (MC-ing) styles. In Come to Play, he focuses more on guests' episodes, rather than his own (This can be violated when his close friends appear on the show). His remarks and reactions flow even if the guest is new on any kind of variety programs, thus makes Come to Play very heartwarming to watch. Happy Together Season 3 is little bit different in a sense that the setting is much more intimate (in a sauna locker room), and Yoo's ad-libs shine brilliantly.

CLAIM: Lady Gaga to Play Amy Winehouse

Though Amy Winehouse’s recent passing is still raw in the minds of many, some outlets are already speculating about a potential film about the late singer’s life.


“Mitch Winehouse has given the green light for Lady Gaga to play his daughter Amy in a planned movie of her life,” reports the Mirror.


According to the British tab, Winehouse’s father thinks Gaga would be the “perfect” choice to portray the “Rehab” songstress on the big screen.


“She would be great,” the Mirror quotes Mitch as saying.


There’s just one problem.


He NEVER said Gaga was tapped for the role

Peterson stuns Khan to claim world titles

WASHINGTON: American Lamont Peterson stunned Britain’s Amir Khan on Saturday, winning a majority decision to take the International Boxing Federation and World Boxing Association light-welterweight world titles.


Referee Joe Cooper took two points from Khan for shoving Peterson during the bout, one in the seventh round and another in the 12th, and they proved to be the margin of the Englishman’s controversial defeat.


One judge saw Khan a 115-110 winner while the other two judged Peterson the victor by scores of 113-112, giving the hometown hero the triumph.


“It was like fighting two people in the ring, the referee and Lamont,” Khan said. “I can see why there hasn’t been a big fight in Washington in the last 20 years, because of decisions like this.”


Peterson, once a homeless youth living on the streets of the US capital, improved to 30-1-1 before a sellout crowd of 8,647 at Washington Convention Center while Khan fell to 26-2 with his eight-fight win streak snapped.


“A lot of people thought I was the underdog but I followed my game plan the entire time and it worked,” Peterson said. “It was a long road but all the hard work paid off. Couldn’t have been a better night.”


Two days after his 25th birthday, Khan suffered his first defeat since falling to Colombian Breidis Prescott in 2008, a defeat that could alter his plans to move into the welterweight ranks early next year.


“I’m ready for a rematch,” Khan said. “He wants to do a fight I’m here.”


Peterson, whose only loss was in 2009 to unbeaten US rival Tim Bradley, could look for a rematch against Bradley but made it clear he was ready to face Khan again as well.


“I would definitely give him a rematch,” Peterson said. “Why not? He gave me a chance.”


Khan made $1.1 million for the fight plus more from British pay-per-view television while Peterson took home $650,000.Khan used evasive moves to set up attacks well, but at the end of the seventh round, Cooper took a point from Khan for repeated pushing after the champion used his left forearm to shove Peterson away.


“Every time I tried to keep him away from me he kept coming in low,” Khan said. “I was the cleaner fighter. He was so wild in there. He was either going to head butt me or push me all night. The referee wasn’t giving me a chance.”


Tension built as the fighters tired and Peterson, eyes swollen and face bloodied, chased Khan in vain most of the last two rounds.


Cooper took another point from Khan for a shove with 1:50 remaining in the fight and it kept Khan from winning the round on all three cards. Without it, Khan would have kept his titles with a majority draw.
