If you've ever wanted to go after George Lucas for ruining the "Star Wars" franchise, be warned -- his daughter will lay you out.
Amanda Lucas made her MMA debut in Auckland, New Zealand over the weekend, losing in one of ten fights as part of an event called Princesses of Pain -- which also accurately describes Natalie Portman's acting in "Attack of the Clones."
According to a fan at the fight who posted a comment on a local news site, Amanda's fight was "a total mismatch and she got badly beaten. To give Amanda her dues she kept coming back for more, but the ref in her corner should have stopped the fight after the first round."

It's Tila Tequila Saturday! If it wasn't bad enough that pro mechanical bull rider Sirbrina Guerrero was unable to rope a ride on, er, with Tila on this season's show, now she says she can't swap spit with her GF at a Mariners game either. Ichi -NO!
Guerrero told a local Sea-Town TV station she was at the M's game with her date recently and gave her a peck, when a mother sitting with her son complained to security. Guerrero says they were told to stop PDAing or leave the game!
Why the Mariners, who are a bottom dwelling 20-35, would want to kick any fans out of a game is beyond us.

Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson's divorce proceedings are officially done, according to court docs filed last week.
Johnson and his now-ex-wife, Dany Garcia, have a 7-year-old daughter, Simone. According to their divorce agreement, both sides will pay $5,000 a month into a trust fund to be used towards a private school, college education and other living expenses.
Garcia and Johnson will share custody -- splitting up holidays and whatnot -- and both agreed to waive their right to alimony, though The Rock will fork over $22,454/month in child support. Don't worry about Garcia -- she made $700k last year as a financial adviser.

Website Thumbs Nose at Kobe
Published

Updated
A website that posted a story claiming Kobe Bryant had an affair with a Laker Girl has refused to back down.
As we first reported, Bryant's lawyer fired off a letter to TheDirty.com, demanding that the post be taken down. Dirty claimed Kobe had an affair with 18-year-old Vanessa Curry, who has resigned her position as a Laker Girl. Now Dirty's lawyer has fired back, claiming the story is true. But get this -- the lawyer says even if it isn't true, "because Mr. Bryant has previously publicly admitted to similar acts of infidelity ... it seems unlikely that any jury would find 'actual malice.'"
And here's the best part: Dirty's lawyer says the fact that Kobe's lawyer sent a demand letter "only increases the likelihood that this story will receive more attention than it already has." Dirty's lawyer then makes reference to "The Streisand effect" -- that's when Babs made a stink over photos of her beach pad taken from a helicopter and it just made everyone aware of where she lived.
P.S. Kobe's lawyer is Barbra Streisand's cousin.
