Gilbert's Million-Dollar Pool: The Pics

* The stone for the "mountain" cost nearly half a million dollars.

* There are three different fish tanks, one going in the "grotto," one in the front hall, and one in the basement. Their normal retail price would have been about another half-million.

* The tank in the basement will have a recess with a couch in it so Gil can "relax and look up at the fish."

Hollywood Best-Paid Actors$$

Tinseltown's leading ladies may generate more tabloid ink, but when it comes to blockbuster paychecks, Hollywood is still a man's town. 

In an era where risk-averse studio executives have declared men the more reliable movie stars-- and the more desirable moviegoers -- perhaps it's no surprise that they are also the medium's top earners. The reality: Hollywood's 10 best-paid actors out-earned Hollywood's 10 best-paid actresses 2-to-1 over the course of the year. 

Collectively, the big screen's leading men took home an estimated $487 million this year, compared with the leading ladies' haul of $244.5 million. 

Will Smith leads the pack of Hollywood's best-paid actors, banking an estimated $80 million over the course of the year. Frequently called the hardest-working man in Hollywood, Smith has proved that no matter the genre -- be it sci-fi thriller ("I Am Legend") or sappy drama ("The Pursuit of Happyness") -- he can deliver an audience. 

The former "Fresh Prince of Bel Air" star also set a theatrical record this year. Thanks to the commercial success of this summer's anti-superhero flick "Hancock," Smith is the first actor in Hollywood history to have eight straight movies eclipse $100 million at the box office.

Ricky Ross Exposed Again? Is This The Begining Of The End Of His Rap Career?

OK. I think It's a wrap for homies rap career. Last week the hip-hop world were all talks about Ricky Ross shaky background. Reports were coming out the woodworks that "The Boss" tales of drug dealings and criminal activities might have been nothing more then a rouse. A picture surfaced showing the Miami rap star in what appeared to be police clothing and Trick Daddy is already accusing Ricky of working as a correctional officer.

Ross went on record denying the rumors, but now even more evidence has emerged. Check it out below.

As you can see this picture is worth a thousand words. The people over at keepittrill.com scored this pictures of someone who appears to be Ricky RossAccording to wikepedia Rick Ross real name is Williams Roberts. And this is what they have tagged under his early life:

Rick Ross was born William Roberts in the lower-class Carol City in Florida.[1] At Carol City Senior High School, he played football, and he later attended the historically black Albany State University in Albany, Georgia on a football scholarship.[2] He began rapping around the mid-1990s, at which time he formed the five-man amateur group Carol City Cartel.[3][Source]

Ricky has gone on record as saying the following:

"My life is 100 per cent real. These online hackers putting a picture of my face when I was a teenager in high school on other peoples' body. If this s**t was real don't you think they would have more specifics, like dates and everything?"

I don't know it looks real to me.

Teaneck Armory Soldiers Report For Deployment

June 22, 2008The men and women of Fox Trot company reported for duty Sunday morning for "first formation," the start of a long and arduous year for these soldiers based out of the Teaneck Armory.

The soldiers will be deployed to Iraq, and for many, like Englewood barber and Private First Class David Morera, it's their first time overseas. "It's another day on the job, basically this is what I signed up for," Morera said. "I was looking forward to a deployment whether it was Iraq or Afghanistan, wherever they needed me." Morrera, only 27 years old, said he's looking for a new challenge.

Leonia high school graduate Private First Class Juan Estevez always knew of the Teaneck Armory, he just said he never saw himself coming here to line up and head off to war. "I always thought of myself as going to school full time, graduating, starting a family, but not going into battle," Estevez said. But the 23 year old added that he's ready to go. Estevez, like Morera, is shipping out for the first time.

Cliffside Park mailman Leon Yearty is heading to Iraq for his second tour of duty. Only this time, he leaves behind not just his wife. "My main thing was, this my first time being married with a little baby, and that's the hardest part," Yearty said. "I mean, she went through the first deployment with me, and now we've got a little kid in the middle. It's a little touching." Despite leaving their families behind, all the soldiers who spoke with NY1 said they're ready to go. Morera says the success of his deployment depends on being in the right mindset. "I'm looking for the challenge. I go out there, do what I got to do, do my job, and hopefully come back in one piece, cause, as you could, see all the guys that are coming back from over there are missing limbs and things like that," Morera said. "I'm not scared at all. If you think about it, I think that will mess you up." Foxtrot Company heads to Fort Bliss in Texas later this week for some extended training. Sometime in the near future it's off to Iraq.

Cash taken from Javon Walker in robbery

Newly acquired Oakland Raiders wideout Javon Walker seemed to be having a festive weekend until Monday morning. The Las Vegas Journal's one-eyed gossip dog, Norm!, spotted him at Tryst nightclub Saturday night "spraying the crowd with some of the 15 bottles of Dom Perignon Rose champagne he ordered." But Monday morning, it was a different story altogether as police found Walker unconscious on a street near the Tropicana Hotel, with an orbital fracture, seemingly the victim of a robbery.

Walker was taken to a Vegas hospital, where he was being treated for "significant injuries." The Raiders aren't saying anything until they gather more information, but it appears Walker won't be back on the field for mini-camp this summer.
