Jennifer Lopez’s Lawyers Demand Return Of Sex Tape

A ‘sex’ tape of Jennifer Lopez and ex-husband Ojani Noa has been stolen, and Lopez’s lawyers are demanding the return of it, reports CTV.

Lopez is claiming that Ojani’s manager, Ed Meyer, has taken it without her permission. Her lawyer, Cris Armenta, sent a letter to him demanding he appear in court Wednesday to return the footage.

“Claudia Vazquez will bring an ex parte application for relief, or whatever is proper, against you for removing home video data drive from Claudia Vazquez’s home,” the letter reads.

“You were on notice of the order and using false pretences, you removed the drive from her house. You have been asked to return it by Claudia Vazquez, myself, and law enforcement authorities. Bring the drive with you to court. We intend to ask the Court to order you to hand the drive to Jennifer Lopez’s attorney’s immediately.”

Meyer has confirmed that he has the tape, and plans to take it to court. Lopez recently won an injunction against the sale of the video.

“I’ll be in court this morning with the data drive… I’m going to ask that a retired judge be appointed by the court to keep the videos instead of Jay Lavely, Jennifer’s attorney,” said Meyer.

Meyer claims there are “about 15-20 minutes of total nudity between all the different clips among the 27 hours of footage” between Noa and Lopez.

Yikes, for Lopez’s sake, I hope she gets it back and burries it far, far away. Why do celebrities insist on making these tapes? They always get out. Always.

Jon Gosselin and Kate Gosselin Must Attend Court Ordered Parenting School

Oh wow – how much do we love this! TLC reality stars Jon Gosselin and Kate Gosselin are being forced to attend parenting classes, reports TMZ.

A Pennsylvania Judge who is working on the couple’s custody case is sending the couple to a course called “Children in the Middle,” a requirement for all parents involved in a custody war in Berks County, PA.

Although the couple do not need to attend the class together, the course must be taken by June 8th. Course content includes fun topics like exposing your kids to loyalty conflicts.

Perhaps this class will be a wake up call for the Gosselins. Jon may learn to stop being a douche and Kate may learn to stop being a bitch. And won’t we all be better off?

Gaming Review: Battlestations Pacific – All hands on deck!

As a pseudo-sequel to 2007’s Battlestations: Midway, Eidos Hungary has managed to deliver a larger game this time around, but still trip itself over annoying landmines that plagued the original and hamper the overall feel of Pacific.

In contrast to Midway, Pacific offers you two choices of campaigns – you can play as either the American or the Japanese forces. While at first this seems like a great option, being able to see the conflict from both sides of the battle, Pacific is less a simulation as it is an arcade-style game mixed with strategic elements. In the end, both sides feel the same, forcing the player to deal with cheesy voice acting and predictable missions at every turn.

In terms of historical accuracy, you will only find it in the representation of the vehicles themselves – PT boats, cruisers, torpedo planes, destroyers, they’re all here, and look great. Control however, is a bit of an issue. Flying your planes is fantastic fun, as it has simple pick up and play control. You’ll probably still end up making accidental landings on the deck of a ship here and there, but overall, the flying mechanics are well handled. The surface ships and submarines, however, don’t fare as well. For destroyers and larger vessels, the drastic change of complete control from the dog-fighting to having to meticulously plan every approach to an enemy target and distancing yourself so that your artillery actually serves a purpose is tedious and downright frustrating. The submersibles fare even worse – control is even more lax than with surface vessels, and for the most part it feels like you have no chance to properly defend yourself before you are mercilessly pummeled by the enemy AI.

Gorgeous sunsets will distract you from your impending doom.

There’s a lot of gameplay to be found within the campaigns of each side; missions can have multiple stages, and multiple primary and secondary goals. You also have the ability to jump out of the single unit gameplay to issue orders to other units and squads elsewhere on the map. This is where the strategy element of the game comes into play, and the developers did a decent job at implementing the use of multiple units while allowing you to focus on single units to take personal control over. However, for those of us who find micro-managing to be a bit of a formidable task, the complex order and command system in place becomes an incredible bane, and you can end up spending more time deciding what units to call in from your bases to completely lose control of your mission, at which point you have no choice but to start all over again.

I found using a gamepad much more agreeable than using the keyboard-mouse setup, especially when using the planes – dog-fighting while using the mouse for a flight stick wears down on your wrist quite quickly, and you will find that resetting the mouse during hectic firefights results in more water landings than is usually acceptable.

Multiplayer is a somewhat entertaining break from the single-player campaign, in that everyone you are facing is at the same advantage and disadvantage you are. You all need to maneuver around the map, which takes some time, allowing you to try to plan out your strategy for taking out your opponents. Running head on into a fight in this game is a quick way to get your crew lost at sea. Be on the lookout for imbalances to the game however – the matchmaking is hit and miss at best. It’s not uncommon to find yourself facing off against an opponent with significant artillery and

technological advances on your simple little fleet.

Need anymore proof that this game focuses mainly on eye candy?

The presentation of the game are extremely well done, with enough dedication to the small details that it feels like you’re actually watching a war movie, and not simply playing a game. The water effects are nice, even though you’re probably going to be checking out the vehicles and backdrops more often. Watching destroyers break in half before slipping beneath the surface is breathtaking, until you’ve seen the same animation played out a hundred times over. The sound effects and banter during gameplay are decent enough, making it feel like you’re actually causing some damage with your bombs and torpedoes, but the dialogue is incredibly cheesy and the voice-acting are barely more than caricatures of both Japanese and Western dialects. This sorely affects the overall presentation of what is otherwise a very well put together product.

While the game itself is engaging and entertaining, don’t be fooled – it’s not for everyone. If you have played Battlestations: Midway and found it too complex, steer clear of Pacific. You will find the exact same level of frustration. However, if you enjoyed Midway, and are getting fed up with World War II shooters, I would definitely recommend giving Battlestations: Pacific a try.
