Zack Snyder tweets first image of Jason Momoa as Aquaman

Maybe we won’t be able to make fun of Aquaman anymore.

Zack Snyder tweeted the first image of Jason Momoa as the underwater superhero who will debut inBatman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice, and you can laugh at your own risk. The Hawaiian-born Game of Thrones actor with the wild mane and fierce brow holds a trident and wears full-body Maori-like tattoos that blend in with his armor. “There is only one true king #unitetheseven,” Snyder adds in his tweet.

The hashtag “Unite the Seven” associated with someone like Aquaman might seem like a reference to the “seven seas,” especially since Snyder is calling him the “only true king.” But another possibility is the franchise’s mission to unite the seven original members of the Justice League: Aquaman, Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Flash, Green Lantern, and Martian Manhunter.

Aquaman is getting his own standalone movie in 2018, one year after the first Justice League movie. 

Amber Rose Hits Back At Kanye West's '30 Showers' Diss [UPDATE]

PREVIOUSLY: When news broke that Kanye West was going to be on Power 105's The Breakfast Club, fans knew it was going to be good, and in true Kanye-fashion, the rapper didn't disappoint.

Following a Twitter war that erupted between West's ex-girlfriend Amber Rose and his sister-in-law Khloe Kardashian, wherein Rose called West's wife, Kim Kardashian, a "whore," the rapper had some choice things to say about his former girlfriend.

When asked if he felt compelled to tell Rose to leave Kim alone and just "chill out," West told the show's hosts, "She's just soaking in the moment. Nobody feel compelled to do nothing. If Kim had dated me when I first wanted to be with her, there wouldn't be an Amber Rose, you know what I'm saying."

And when asked about rumors that Kim was sending him nude photos while he and Rose were together, the rapper broke out withe a smile across his face and said, "I wish. Gladly, happily I would have liked to [have received nude photos from Kim]. By the way, it's very hard for a woman to wanna be with someone that's with Amber Rose. I had to take 30 showers before I got with Kim."

The 37-year-old rapper was also asked if he thinks Tyga's relationship with his 17-year-old sister-in-law Kylie Jenner was "inappropriate," and he burst out laughing, telling the show's hosts:

"I think he got in early, I think he was smart. They are closer in age than a lot of relationships that I know. I knew Tyga was smart," he said. Adding, "Yeah, I can't speak on nobody's relationship."

Earlier in the week, Tyga, 25, told the show's hosts himself he wasn't dating Jenner, but it sounds like a different story coming from West.

Floyd Mayweather Vs. Manny Pacquiao Fight Set For May 2

LAS VEGAS (AP) — The Fight is finally on.

Floyd Mayweather Jr. will meet Manny Pacquiao on May 2 in a welterweight showdown that will be boxing's richest fight ever. Mayweather himself announced the bout Friday after months of negotiations, posting a picture of the signed contract online.

"I promised the fans we would get this done and we did," Mayweather said.

The long anticipated bout at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas will almost surely break every financial record, and make both boxers richer than ever. Mayweather could earn $120 million or more, while Pacquiao's split of the purse will likely be around $80 million.

The fight, which matches boxing's two biggest attractions of recent years, has been in the making for five years. It finally came together in recent months with both fighters putting aside past differences over various issues — including drug testing and television rights — to reach agreement.

Pacquiao was sleeping in the Philippines when the fight was announced, but his camp issued a statement saying the fans deserve the long awaited fight.

"It is an honor to be part of this historic event," Pacquiao said. "I dedicate this fight to all the fans who willed this fight to happen and, as always, to bring glory to the Philippines and my fellow Filipinos around the world."

While the fight rivals the 2002 heavyweight title bout between Lennox Lewis and Mike Tyson for interest, it comes more than five years after the first real effort to put the fighters together in their prime. Most boxing observers believe both have lost some of their skills, though Mayweather remains a master defensive fighter and Pacquiao showed in his last fight against Chris Algieri that he still has tremendous quickness in his hands.

Still, Pacquiao is 36 and has been through many wars in the ring. And while Mayweather has been largely untouched in his career, he turns 38 on Tuesday.

"I am the best ever, TBE, and this fight will be another opportunity to showcase my skills and do what I do best, which is win," Mayweather said in his announcement. "Manny is going to try to do what 47 before him failed to do, but he won't be successful. He will be No. 48."

Oddsmakers believe Mayweather will do just that, making him a 2 1/2-1 favorite in the scheduled 12-round bout. The fight is expected to do record business in Nevada's legal sports books, with tens of millions wagered on the outcome.

It will also do record business at the box office — with the MGM expected to be scaled far higher than the $20 million live gate for Mayweather's 2013 fight with Canelo Alvarez. The pay-per-view revenue also is expected to be a record, though television executives said Friday they had yet to actually fix a price for people to buy the fight at home.

The fight will be televised as a joint venture between competing networks Showtime and HBO, which will share announcers with Jim Lampley and Al Bernstein reportedly handling the task at ringside.

Pacquiao began pushing hard for the fight after beating Algieri in November in Macau, and negotiations picked up last month when the two fighters met by chance at a Miami Heat basketball game and later talked with each other in Pacquiao's hotel room about making it happen.

"It's one of those fortuitous circumstance we couldn't have planned," Showtime boxing chief Stephen Espinoza said. "But we were lucky that it happened."

As part of the agreement, Mayweather insisted on having the right to announce the bout. He also won concessions from the Pacquiao camp on who enters the ring first, what type of gloves are used, and a number of other issues, including a reported 60-40 split of the purse.

But it didn't take long for Pacquiao's camp to start talking, either. Promoter Bob Arum expressed his elation in making the fight, while trainer Freddie Roach predicted a big win for his fighter.

"Floyd should enjoy being the A-Side while he can because on May 2 Manny is going to put him on his backside," Roach said.

Arum, who has promoted some of the biggest fights in history, said this one would be bigger than them all.

"This boxing match will have the interest in the U.S. of a Super Bowl," Arum told The Associated Press. "I think it will set all kinds of pay-per-view records and gate records. It will be the biggest boxing event of all time."

Both fighters will bring 147-pound titles into the ring, but the fight is about far more than belts. Mayweather, who is unbeaten in 47 fights, wants to stake his claim as one of the greatest fighters ever, and remove any doubts about his legacy by fighting the boxer who is thought to be the greatest challenge of his career.

Pacquiao, meanwhile, will try to show that a knockout loss to Juan Manuel Marquez in 2012 and a disputed decision loss to Timothy Bradley should not define a remarkable career that began 20 years ago in the Philippines

Don't tune in looking for a big knockout, either. The last time Pacquiao stopped anyone was in 2009 when he finished off Miguel Cotto in the 12th round, while Mayweather has only stopped one fighter (Victor Ortiz) in the last eight years.

A Lunar New Year With a Name That’s a Matter of Opinion

HONG KONG - China said goodbye to the Period of the Racer on Wed, and on the premiere day of the new lunar assemblage revelers welcomed the Assemblage of the Sheep.

Or maybe the stooge. Or perhaps the ram.

For Humanities speakers, it is a can of worms.

"Few mediocre Chinese are hagridden by the sheep-goat note," Xinhua, China's primary state-run word implementation, said in its describe on the deliberate. "Yet, the unclearness has whipped up speech in the Actress."

The reason is that the express for the ordinal horselike in the Island zodiac's 12-year ride of creatures, yang in Citrus, does not play the discrimination constitute in Side between goats and sheep and opposite members of the Caprinae subfamily. Without boost qualifiers, yang strength average any such hoofed being that eats gage and bleats. And so Asian tidings outlets jazz butted heads for life on what to enjoin this period in Country, recruiting experts to transfer deciding.
The yang possesses a flush and interlinking content in the minds of Asian fill," said The Peiping Daily, mustering the benevolent of grandiloquence that journalists can recur to during a dragging intelligence bushel. "It has permeated every corner of our lives. Some say that in a sentiency, Chinese content is not the culture of the agamid or the cat, but the content of the yang."
Not everyone seemed so worked up almost the preeminence.

"I've never content about that reflect before," Chen Xufeng, an staff salesperson in Peking, told Xinhua. "Do we soul to recite them separated? I've seen writer goats in zodiac images, but I favour to buy a sheep mascot, as sheep are statesman fluffy and lovely."

The rife theory goes that because Han Asian civilisation matured in regions where herders and goats prevailed, the zodiac charm must be a goat. The brute is indeed joint in conventional New Assemblage art. But sheep jazz their proponents, and they hit beautify more vernacular in cutesy cartoonish decorations for the celebrations.

Zhao Shu, a folklore proficient at the Beijing Institute of Civilization and History, said in a ring discourse that the disputation was silly. The person in speculate arose as a unspecialized symbolisation of plenitude and nifty chance, partly because the Asian testimonial yang shares roots with the one for favourableness, he said.

If English speakers are caught up on whether it is a sheep or a victim, that is their problem, Mr. Zhao accessorial.

"This is undignified," he said. "Dupe and sheep are incompatible in Sculptor and Spin, but what's that got to do with Sinitic traditional civilisation? In Romance, it's translated as the Assemblage of the Laughingstock; and in Humanities, it's the Twelvemonth of the Sheep."

He also actor a import near the virtues of Sinitic practice. "In Sandwich content, things are subdivided into author and much detailed categories, and that's why Aggregation has solace not been unified after so numerous years," he continued. "If you necessary to say whether it's laughingstock or sheep, then why not also ask whether it's a ewe or a ram? But Sinitic civilization has an inclusive invigorate and stresses harmony."

Mr. Zhao also scoffed at the distributed notion that to be intelligent in the Assemblage of the Sheep, or Stooge, is bad broadcast.

Sheep are seen by both as meek, stupid beasts. But Mr. Zhao said the person reputation of births in those period took interruption in the belatedly Ch'ing royalty, toward the end of the 19th century, when opponents of the royalty vilified the Empress Dowager Cixi and several other squealing officials as schemers and traitors. They all happened to be foaled in the Year of the Sheep, or Laughingstock, reinforcing the belief that grouping hatched in that assemblage were not to be trusted.

"The people's personalised emotion of them was transferred to views virtually the 12 signs," Mr. Zhao said. "But for Island people exploit approve advance in history, the sheep is rattling extremely encouraging. Our ancestors could never make put an unpropitious fleshly in the 12 signs."
