Ryan Lochte's E! Show Starts New Movement: 'Swimming Awareness'?


This Sunday, the timeless question will be answered: "What Would Ryan Lochte Do?" In his new reality show of that title, Ryan will take audiences along for the wild ride that is his life — hanging with his family, zip lining with his friends and dating.
MTV News caught up with Lochte to talk about his most recent endeavor, and the Olympic athlete explained the show's main goal is to raise "swimming awareness" and make it bigger than it was at the Olympics.


In addition to raising the popularity of his sport, Ryan is letting fans into his dating life. "I'm a single guy, so, you'll see me going out on a couple dates on the show. You know, just trying to find that one true love." Well, he hasn't found that one true love yet, but "WWRLD?" will show him going on a date with his childhood crush, Carmen Electra. According to Ryan, she might be better than true love "I mean, that was like my little boy dream. I had pictures of her on my wall when she was on Baywatch."
When the show starts, don't be surprised if there is some vocabulary you have never heard before. "The Lochte Edge" refers to his still undefined fashion style, "Jeah" is his freshly patented word, and now the newest of them all, "Ryan Moments."
"On this show there will be these times when I'm doing the interview part and then I'll just go completely blank. I lose my train of thought; I'm in my own world. And we call those Ryan Moments." But, as Ryan sees it, that is the good stuff, "I want that on the show. I want all that stuff on the show because it's me. That's Ryan Lochte."
Lochte is already in training for the approaching 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio De Janeiro, but luckily for him, nerves are not an issue. "I've never been nervous for a swim or a race. I just don't get nervous. After the 2012 Olympics, after the plane touched down on American soil, I started thinking about Rio. I mean, it's a four-year process, and I've already set my goals for what I want to accomplish."
With 11 Olympic medals already behind him, the beginnings of a fashion line, and now a hit TV show, we are excited for whatever else Ryan Lochte has to show the world.

Prince Harry: 'I'll beat Aussies to South Pole'



Prince Harry says he will take part in a race to the South Pole, leading a team of wounded British military personnel.
The prince's team will compete against counterparts from Australia, Canada and the US.
In a tongue-in-cheek challenge issued at a news conference, the 28-year-old royal warned his competitors that the Brits would have some tea "ready for you when you join us at the Pole."
Harry and his fellow Walking With The Wounded teammates will participate in the 335-kilometer South Pole Allied Challenge in November and December of this year.
That may be the height of the Antarctic summer, but conditions will still be bitterly cold. The four-week expedition will see racers drag sleds weighing more than 68 kilograms and face extreme temperatures and savage winds.
Harry has already taken part in one expedition with Walking With The Wounded, a charity which raises funds and keeps injured servicemen and women in the public eye through feats of endurance.
In 2011, he took part in the charity's North Pole trek, but had to withdraw earlier to attend his brother Prince William's wedding to Kate Middleton.
During the news conference, Harry was given a red polar coat by adventurer Inge Solheim, who served as the North Pole treks' guide.
This time around Solheim will be the guide for the American team from Soldiers to Summits, which is made up of Mark Wise from Colorado Springs, Colorado, Therese Frentz, from Del Rio, Texas, Margaux Mange, from Lakewood, Colorado, and Ivan Castro, from Raeford, North Carolina.

Ashton Kutcher is ‘worried about image’



Ashton Kutcher is reportedly worried his "cheeky-chappy image" is in jeopardy.
The actor has been dating Mila Kunis for over a year and the couple have made the decision to keep their romance out of the limelight.
Mila has made no secret of the fact that she finds fame hard, something Ashton apparently fears could be affecting his star power.
"Ashton has based much of his career on his cheeky-chappy image. But when Mila's pictured in public, she looks like she's in a right mood," a source told Heat magazine.
The actor has reportedly been thinking more about his public persona recently. It took a beating when he split from Demi Moore, following allegations he was unfaithful on their wedding anniversary.
The star is even said to have spoken to his girlfriend about the situation and made some suggestions about how things could be improved.
"Mila would prefer to be out of the limelight. But Ashton tells her she needs to lighten up and get over it," an insider said.
Recently, Ashton hinted he has decided to keep his relationship out of the spotlight after realising some things are better left private.
"You know, I’ve learnt the hard way how valuable privacy is," he recently explained. "And I've learnt that there are a lot of things in your life that really benefit from being private. And relationships are one of them. And I am going to do everything in my power to have this relationship be private."

In addition to fans sending their love, manager Scooter Braun also offered some encouragement, writing, "Happy to hear @NathanTheWanted is out of surgery and getting rest. #HappyBrithdayNath."

The remaining four members of The Wanted will continue fulfilling the bands promotional commitments across the world."



James Franco "35th Birthday"



It's my 35th birthday, not that anyone should care. I'll spend the day acting in a film with my friend Jonah Hill (I play a sociopathic murderer). I remember learning about sociopaths in my high school sociology class taught by the great Mr. Roland. He could do more pull-ups than any student; he'd challenge them to contests on the head frame of his door. He also took us on a field trip to a working prison; pretty amazing. I remember a man's face cropped by the small window in his door staring at us intently, shaking slightly as he was masturbating.
If I look back that far, I can see that I have actually grown; I still wouldn't be able to beat Mr. Roland at pull ups, but I have a profession now -- albeit an odd one, I get paid to pretend to be a person like those people with no empathy for others, or at least in this film I do. It's nice to know that if you're open, life does change and get better.
Here's a poem I wrote on my 31st birthday. I have done a few things in the past four years, but this poem still captures how I feel on my birthday.
31
It was birthday thirty-one

I was in Suffolk, Virginia, directing
A short film called Herbert White.

We stayed at the Hilton Gardens,
The only hotel in town,
The rest are motels, rented monthly.

There are no restaurants, but plenty of strip malls,
Prefabricated houses and little swamps;
People sit in their cars in gas-station lots

And eat and smoke.
This is eating out in Suffolk.
The actor that fucks a goat in my film

Was home-schooled because his parents didn't
Want him to be subjected to drugs, guns and violence.
"And blacks," I think.


Indian River, the school is called.
Tyrone is his name, a handsome, dumb-faced kid.
There were baby goats; they ran around their pen on stiff, stumpy legs.


*

I've had good and bad birthdays.
And boy do they make me think
About when I was younger,


When I had no friends and my mom drove me to school
Because I lost my license drunk-driving, and we wouldn't talk,
We would listen to Blonde on Blonde


Every morning, and life was like moving through something
Thick and gray that had no purpose.
And now I see that everything has had as much purpose


As I give it, or at least it can all make its way
Into my poem and become something else,
And in that way all that shit, and all those bad birthdays,



And the good ones are markers in an anniversary line -
And they carry less and less of their original pain,
And become emptier, just markers really, building blocks,


To be turned into constructions and fucked with.
