ORTIZ ARRESTED AGAIN FOR DOMESTIC VIOLENCE BATTERY
TITO ORTIZ was arrested Monday (April 26, 2010) on Domestic Violence charges for allegedly assaulting his girlfriend, Jenna JAMESON (one of my all time favs!). ORTIZ was arrested and sentenced to jail back in 1998 when he pled guilty to battery charges. JAMESON may not be the perfect woman but, on paper, the fault lines are hard to see. She's extremely wealthy by her own means, she's exotically beautiful, sounds intelligent, I doubt she has any troubles with the physical aspects of a relationship and she appears to be a decent mother. Whether you love or hate Jameson's line of work is neither here nor there, she's a woman and a mother; someone's daughter and best friend.
There is a possibility that his professional fighter (MMA) status may come into consideration when the complaint is heard in court. Should that be a factor? Does it make his crime more severe since he has experience in hurting people? Your opinions are encouraged.

A HAPPILY MARRIED DYNAMIC DUO
RYAN REYNOLDS and SCARLETT JOHANSSON are apparently the marriage made in comics. REYNOLDS has already appeared in other fantasy genre works - BLADE: TRINITY, The X-FILES, X-MEN: ORIGINS - WOLVERINE, "as the Merc with the Mouth" Deadpool, which he will reprise in 2011 in a solo feature, and is currently going au-naturale filming GREEN LANTERN. Ladies don't get yourselves in a tizzy, Green Lantern's costume is reportedly going to be added with CGI in post production.
The lovely SCARLETT JOHANSSON is currently the poster girl BLACK WIDOW for IRON MAN 2. Her character is already being talked about for a feature film of her own. Her comic resume' is no less impressive with her work in THE SPIRIT as SILKEN FLOSS and as REBECCA in GHOST WORLD.
The REYNOLDS/JOHANNSON's have even had hilarious skits featuring one another on Saturday Night Live. Recent reports have touted them to be a fun-loving couple happy in work and marriage.
With MARVEL COMICS taking such a huge gamble in the AVENGERS franchise in film after film of the same mythology type, REYNOLDS taking the reins as GREEN LANTERN and DEADPOOL, will this couple be the first power couple of an adventure age? Or will they become the poster children for overkill?
IN CLOSING
Celebrities are strewn all over the media with tales of infidelity and violence, real and drummed up, to sell papers and advertising. Fame, nor privacy, prevents horrible things from happening to wonderful people. The sad fact is that we are all instantly appalled when someone of note gets arrested for abuse, being unfaithful to spouse and family or acting a fool in public. Unfortunately, there's no one to see, help or even yell out on a victim's behalf when it happens behind the closed doors of the anonymous.
