Infiniti Presents Round by Round Brackets Coaches vs. Cancer
The fine folks at Infiniti invited us to the Arizona v. UConn NCAA West Regionals game at the Honda Center in Anaheim this past weekend. It was a fantastic game 
that came right down to the wire, with Arizona having the chance to win the game on two last-second three point attempts. The Wildcats came up short, and UConn earned a berth in the Final Four.
Infiniti has a corporate partnership with the NCAA, and they serve as sponsors for the CBS Sports Round by Round Brackets – Coaches vs. Cancer. Visitors can go to the Round by Round Brackets page on CBS Sports and enter for a chance to win a trip to the 2012 Final Four.
Infiniti is working with coaches to help raise up to $500,000 for Coaches vs. Cancer, a nationwide collaboration between the American Cancer Society and the National Association of Basketball Coaches (NABC). The American Cancer Society describes Coaches vs. Cancer as a program that “leverages the personal experiences, community leadership, and professional excellence of basketball coaches nationwide to increase cancer awareness and promote healthy living through year-round awareness efforts, fundraising activities, and advocacy programs.” Since 1993, the program has raised over $50 million to support the fight against cancer.
There are two more chances for you to fill out your Round by Round Bracket on CBS Sports, and each correct pick you make helps support a great cause. The deadline for making your Final Four selections is Saturday, April 2 at 5:55pm (EST). The deadline for making you pick in the championship game is Monday, April 4 at 8:55pm (EST).
If you’re like most people in America, your original bracket was probably busted a long time ago. So get in a last bracket fix, support a great cause and try to win yourself a trip to the 2012 Final Four before this year’s March Madness comes to an official end.

Yakuza 4 Trailer
Check out the trailer for Yakuza 4. The game came out this week and it looks pretty sick. You get to play with four different characters and explore the massive underground crime world of Tokyo. The open world let’s you hit up karaoke bars, massage parlors and pachinko palaces. You can test your skill at mini-games like ping pong, golf, bowling, card games, darts, pool, harbor fishing and batting cages. Oh, and you can also kick a bunch of ass while you navigate through Tokyo as a reformed Yakuza thug, an escaped convict, a cop and a loan shark. Take a look:

Limitless Prize Pack Giveaway
The film Limitless opens tomorrow, and we think it looks good. It stars Robert De Niro and Bradley Cooper, which is a pretty solid one-two punch. Cooper plays Eddie Mora, a writer who discovers a top-secret drug that allows him to use 100 percent of his brain and become a perfect version of himself. With his synapses firing on all cylinders, Eddie transforms into a super human capable of learning at a ridiculous pace. Eddie sets his sights on Wall Street, and comes up big. A big-shot business mogul named Carl Van Loon (played by De Niro) takes notice and invites Eddie to participate in the largest corporate merger of all time. Eddie then has to stave off stalkers, a gangster and the cops while he tries to maximize his abilities with a dwindling stash.
This action-packed thriller opens up tomorrow, and to promote the release, we’re giving away a Limitless prize pack to one lucky visitor that includes the following:
- A collection of mind thriller movies (Momento, Vanilla Sky, A Beautiful Mind, LA Confidential)
- A Limitless mini poster
- A copy of the Limitless book
- A Limitless stainless steel water bottle
To win the giveaway, follow us on Twitter @MANjrcom and leave us a comment telling us why you’d like to see the film. We’ll pick a winner at random next Thursday, March 24.
If you’d like to learn more about the film visit the Limitless Facebook page or follow @LimitlessMovie on Twitter for all the latest updates.
Good luck!

The 33 Hottest Chicks with Three Names
There’s just something about hot chicks with three names. It’s like they know that two names just won’t cut it. They wanna leave that additional, lasting impression by throwing an extra one in there. It makes ‘em more memorable, more distinct. It’s like a badge of honor, and it’s a pretty elite club.
At MANjr, we want to salute those select few beauties who refuse to be held back by the burden of two names. We included some babes who are clearly passed their prime, but these are ladies that still deserve recognition for trailblazing three-name hotness. We threw some divorcees in the mix as well, because some of these hotties still rocked the triple-name status well, even it was temporary. Here’s a look at the 33 hottest chicks with three names.
33. Olivia Newton-John
About three decades and five surgeries ago, Olivia Newton-John was super hot.
32. Jamie Lee Curtis
From Halloween to True Lies, JLC was fine. Now she pushes yogurt and looks like a granny, but she had a solid run there for like 20 years.
31. Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio
She was hot as hell in Scarface, The Abyss and even Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves. By The Perfect Strom, her time had passed.
30. Penelope Ann Miller
She was stunning in Big Top Pee Wee, Kindergarten Cop and Chaplin. And who could forget her head-turning performance in The Gun in Betty Lou’s Handbag.
29. Kristin Scott Thomas
She’s all old and fuddy duddy now, but she was pretty smokin’ in The English Patient.
28. Carrie-Anne Moss
She looks like she could kick our ass, but we’ll take the beating.
27. Courtney Thorne-Smith
With long runs on Melrose Place and Ally McBeal, Courtney Thorne-Smith was a fixture on Fox in the 90s. Extra bonus points if you loved her in Side Out.
26. Lara Flynn Boyle
Man this chick cut herself up something crazy, but she was quite the looker back in the day. Even before Wayne’s World, she was cute as a button in the 1989 flick How I Got Into College.
25. Joey Lauren Adams
Maybe it was that voice or her goofy smile, but the chick who starred in all those Kevin Smith movies and made Bud Bundy a man was on fire in the 90s.
24. Helena Bonham Carter
She’s got a monopoly on freaky-hot. When Hollywood needs to cast a looker with a screw loose, HBC’s gotta be high on the list.
23. Jada Pinkett Smith
It’s not her fault that she produces kids that can’t act.
22. Holly Marie Combs
She was the least hottest chick on Charmed, but hey, she’s got three names.
21. Bryce Dallas Howard
M. Night Shyamalan’s red-headed muse gets style points for having Fonzie as her Godfather.
