West Dominates East in Las Vegas
->Kobe Bryant poured in a game-high 31 points to earn the second All-Star MVP award of his career.


West 153, East 132

LAS VEGAS, Feb. 18 (AP) -- Viva Kobe Bryant and the best of the West.

Bryant, Carmelo Anthony & crew lit up the Strip with their own version of Showtime, romping past LeBron James and the East 153-132 Sunday night in the NBA All-Star game.

An event that some locals called the biggest thing to hit Las Vegas featured showgirls, acrobats, magicians and Elvis impersonators.

Then it was time for Bryant and his teammates to take over in the first All-Star game outside an NBA city.

"I think we had a little flair, a little Vegas in there,'' West forward Shawn Marion said. "Hopefully the fans enjoyed it a lot.''

Bryant scored 31 points, had six of the West's record 52 assists and was picked as the MVP. Amare Stoudemire added 29 points for the West, which quickly built a big lead and held it this time, a year after blowing a 21-point cushion in a loss in Houston.

Anthony, a late addition to the team, scored 20 points and Marion, who played at the Thomas & Mack Center at UNLV, added 18.

James scored 28 points for the East, and Dwight Howard had 20 points and 12 rebounds. The East barely shot 40 percent through three quarters in a game that isn't known for its defensive intensity before a late flurry during garbage time.

"We got here at 2 o'clock,'' Shaquille O'Neal said. "There's a lot of stretching and standing around. We were all kind of stiff, so the game was a little lopsided. But that's OK, they came here to see a show and they got a show.''

Dwyane Wade had only 10 points on 5-of-12 shooting, but he had reason to be tired after hosting events Thursday and Friday night. Those were two of the many functions that kept the players out until all hours of the night.

Still, the game was secondary to the show in this most unusual of All-Star games - and it was quite a show.

With tickets unavailable to the public, brokers were asking more than $20,000 for a top seat. Jay-Z, Beyonce, Diddy, Prince, Eva Longoria and Adam Sandler were among those who scored spots in the front row, and Christina Aguilera and Toni Braxton performed at halftime.

The event started with a celebrity red carpet, where Las Vegas Mayor Oscar Goodman, flanked as usual by his showgirls and backed by entertainer Wayne Newton, vowed again to get the NBA here full-time with a new arena to play in.

Magicians Siegfried and Roy then welcomed the fans to Las Vegas, before introducing the showgirls who escorted Newton out to the stage for a performance of "Viva Las Vegas.'' After the East All-Stars were introduced, Newton took the stage again for another performance before the West players were announced.

After another Las Vegas entertainer, Danny Gans, sang the national anthem, it was finally time for some basketball - after about a 45-minute pregame.

Perhaps that took its toll on the players. There were missed dunks and passes thrown out of bounds by both teams, but the East was by far the worst. They missed seven of their first nine shots, including a blown dunk attempt by O'Neal.

James later almost injured himself when he tried to throw himself a pass off the backboard and tumbled over another player, and Jermaine O'Neal appeared to tip in a basket for the West.

A first-quarter timeout brought out some performers from a show at the Tropicana, but there was a serious moment at the end of the period when Bill Russell was among the former Boston Celtics who took the court with the daughter of Red Auerbach, who died last year.

The West led 39-31 at the end of one, and quickly pushed that lead into double digits in the second quarter - Shaquille O'Neal missed another dunk during that stretch.

The lead ballooned to 23 when Bryant nailed a 3-pointer and followed with a dunk on the next possession, and the West was up 79-59 at halftime.

Bryant had 17 points at halftime and Anthony added 12. James scored 16 for the East, but none of its other players was in double figures.

The East climbed out of a 21-point deficit to win last year's game in Houston, but didn't show nearly the fight this time. Stoudemire fueled a 10-0 run that made it 95-65 with 8:20 remaining in the third quarter, and the West was up by 31 heading to the fourth.

Yume ni made mita you na sekai de

English
I want to live in a world of peace
Without conflict, like the oneI’ve seen in my dreams

I just can’t keep it inside
I’ve gotta say what I wanna say
The bus stop at twilight, on the way home
Saying bye bye bye to the sad backs of others
Your face doesn’t show your fighting pose

A world like the one I’ve seen in dreams
Without conflict, daily peace
But in reality I sometimes worry about
Love and the day to day grind

Those rolling days!

You would never hold a lie, no never
All my loving, without it, I can’t go on

Sweet love like I’ve seen in my dreams
Lovers searching for hidden faces
But in reality the days we can’t meet
Continue on, but I believe lonely days

Oh yeah oh even if you stumble,

way to go, yeah yeah

A muddled rolling star

Zap2It - Holloway finds that getting 'Lost' can be a dirty job
Most fans are used to seeing Josh Holloway looking all sweaty and grimy as his character, castaway con man Sawyer Ford, struggles to survive on ABC's "Lost."
So it's a little surreal to see the tall, lanky actor settling into his chair in the bar of this luxury Southern California hotel. For starters, he has traded in his grotty island togs for a stylish all-black ensemble of slacks, leather jacket and a scarf around his neck -- partly because a freakish cold snap has turned the air outside chilly enough to accommodate that "Lost" polar bear.
The main thing, though, is that Holloway looks so -- well, clean.
The 37-year-old actor bursts into good-natured laughter when an interviewer asks him to start dishing the dirt - specifically, just how filthy he and his castmates have to get for their roles in the Emmy-winning ABC Wednesday drama series.
"We come to the set clean in the morning, I promise, freshly showered, and to be honest, that's the difficult part of the morning routine," Holloway says. "I mean, normally an actor goes to a makeup trailer to get fixed up. We go there to get destroyed. Then they bring out what they call 'the hero shirt,' the one with all the dried blood and the gunk and it stands up by itself. You put it on and it's just kinda nasty, because they can't wash it for reasons of continuity.... Read the full story here.

Zap2It - 'Lost' Star Battles CBS 'Demons'
Have we truly seen the last of Michael on "Lost"?
Harold Perrineau, most recently seen sailing off toward the horizon in last season's "Lost" finale, has signed on to co-star in CBS' "Demons," another mythology series.
The drama focuses on a priest-turned-psychologist who performs exorcisms. Perrineau will play the main character's long-time confidante, a friend since seminary.
According to the industry trades, "Demons" is in first position on Perrineau's slate, which would limit the "Lost" producers in their ability to resolve Michael's story arc any further.
The "Oz" and "Smoke" star has used his "Lost" downtime to shoot a trio of features in "Your Name Here," "Gardens of the Night" and the zombie-tastic sequel "28 Weeks Later." Read the full story here.
