NEW TAMPA — The youngest Powerball winner ever has packed up his millions and moved to Tampa Bay, fulfilling his dream of working in the wrestling business with a wild new TV show. Combine beautiful women, professional wrestling, and part of a $17 million lottery payout, then stir — and you get the new TV show “Wrestlicious”.  

“MAD TV + the WWE + Baywatch + Dave Chappelle = Wrestlicious,” explained Powerball winner Jay Vargas, who’s helping finance the show with his lottery loot.

Videos of the show posted on YouTube show a mix of pro wrestling, sketch comedy, and bikini photo shoots — all involving women in a variety of skin-tight outfits. 

And one of the recurring characters on “Wrestlicious” is “J.V. Rich” — “The rapper-slash-owner of ‘Wrestlicious,’” Vargas said. 

“J.V. Rich” is a mansion-dwelling, single 21-year old millionaire surrounded by ladies and spending cash like crazy. What’s that character have in common with the real Jay Vargas?  

“Attractive and handsome — like myself,” Vargas said with a laugh that showed he wasn’t taking himself seriously. 

Physical appearance is about all the two share. The real Vargas is normal — and pretty humble. After snagging a $17 million lump sum payment last year at age 19, becoming Powerball’s youngest-ever winner, Vargas vowed to spend his money smartly.  

“I don’t have the temptation to go out and buy 15 cars or 50 houses, or a big mansion with 50-plus rooms… I just want to be comfortable,” he said. 

He’s settled down with a wife and family in a nice, but not-over-the-top house in New Tampa. His money and his mind are totally devoted to his TV show-in-the making.  

Since Tampa Bay’s home to so many wrestlers, Vargas made it his home, too. It’s a much better situation than the rumors he hears back home in South Carolina.  

“I hear I’m dead every month,” Vargas said, repeating a rumor that he hears about when he talks to friend and family. “Ever since I won the Powerball.”

“They actually did a press conference saying that I was dead and that I was found in pieces or something like that. I think it’s sort of funny. ‘Cause I’m not dead at all,” he said with a big laugh.

Vargas said his producer is working with TV networks to find a home for the TV show, which has already filmed a pilot episode hosted by wrestling promoter Jimmy Hart.

Mia Engberg’s film series, Dirty Diaries premiered tonight in the Swedish capital of Stockholm and has sparked controversy with regard to its public funding. The collection of erotica received the equivalent of US $69 000 in financial support from the Swedish Film Institute and each picture was filmed using a mobile phone. 

The Dirty Diaries website outlines the feminist perspective behind the one dozen films highlighting the ways in which they challenge gender norms and empower women. The online manifesto confronts gendered norms of beauty, heterosexism and misogyny and calls for women to engage in safer sex, embrace self-pleasure and celebrate sexual diversity.

Engberg and The Swedish Film Institute defend the public financing of feminist porn as a means of revealing and exploring sexuality through a female’s perspective. The filmmaker emphasizes that unlike mainstream pornography, her work is “not made to please a male audience and it’s not made to make money.”

Not surprisingly, taxpayer funding of the Dirty Diaries series has drawn harsh criticism from conservatives. The Local, a Swedish news source, suggests that feminism has gained an undeserved special status and the funding of feminist erotica represents a saddening disrespect for public monies.

Fox Insulted Director Who Made Her Star

Three “Transformers” crew members call Megan Fox stupid and trailer-park trash in a letter since removed from director Michael Bay’s Web site.

Fox recently went on an Internet rant against the director who cast her in the “Transformers” series, comparing Bay to Adolph Hitler.

The three crew members posted their anti-Fox rant on www.michaelbay.com this weekend.

Much of “Transformers 2″ was filmed in Philadelphia.

The site has since removed the letter and Bay posted a statement criticizing the crew members and Fox.

“I don’t condone the crew letter to Megan. And I don’t condone Megan’s outlandish quotes.” Bay said. “But her crazy quips are part of her crazy charm. The fact of the matter I still love working with her, and I know we still get along. I even expect more crazy quotes from her on Transformers 3.”

However, the crew members begged Bay to have “Megatron squish her character in the first ten minutes of Transformers 3.”

“We’ve had the tedious experience of working with the dumb-as-a-rock Megan Fox on both Transformers movies,” the unnamed crew members said.

“Megan is the queen of talking trailer trash and posing like a porn star. And yes we’ve had the unbearable time of watching her try to act on set, and yes, it’s very cringe-able.”

Megan Fox - Beautiful 'Trailer Trash'

Fox told with the British magazine “wonderland” last week that working with Bay was like working with a mad dictator.

“He’s like Napoleon and he wants to create this insane, infamous mad-man reputation. He wants to be like Hitler on his sets, and he is. So he’s a nightmare to work for.”
