Todd Helton Will Only Play For Rockies - RealGM Wiretap
Todd Helton Robert McClain Jersey , who is playing in his 17th Major League season, has no plans to return to baseball next year if he isn't with the Colorado Rockies.


"That's correct," Helton said. "I have other interests in my life besides baseball, even though I enjoy everything about it. Well, not everything. I dislike the travel. I enjoy getting ready for the game, the soreness, learning how to overcome all that.


"But I do have other things in my life -- kids, family -- and a lot of things that the game has given me the chance to enjoy."


Helton in the last year of a two-year, $9.9 million contract extension. He'll be 40 on Aug. 20.

United Signs Headwear Deal With New Era - RealGM Wiretap

Manchester United has agreed to a deal with New Era to become their official 'leisure headwear partner.'


With the agreement James Bradberry Jersey , United becomes the first soccer team with an official deal in the space.


Nike previously owned the official rights to United's hats while their £750 million Adidas deal allows them to partner with another party for hats.


Christopher H. Koch, president and CEO of New Era, comments: "We couldn’t be more thrilled to partner with Manchester United on a global level. As New Era continues to expand its international reach, growing our business in world football was a natural progression. A partnership with such a globally revered club is a great opportunity for us to bring quality headwear to the football market."


New Era and United will include five core silhouettes.

In the opening scenes of "The Runaways," Floria Sigismondi's ode to the all-girl hard rock band, the characters played by Kristen Stewart and Dakota Fanning could be almost any teenage girls living in the Valley circa 1975.

But then Stewart's character walks into a rockabilly boutique, dumps a bag full of change on the counter and demands "what he's wearing," pointing to a guy in a black leather motorcycle jacket and leather pants. Suddenly, high school girl Joan Larkin has transformed into Joan Jett.

Cut to Fanning as Jett's soon-to-be-bandmate Cherie Currie Vernon Butler Jersey , staring into the bathroom mirror with David Bowie's "Aladdin Sane" album cover nearby. With a partially drawn red lightning bolt on her face, she's chopping her long blond hair into an approximation of his glam shag.

Sigismondi's feature film debut, opening on Friday, is more evocative portrait than obsessively factual biopic. But the basic plot of the Runaways story -- L.A. teens rise from the glitter and grit of the Sunset Strip to kick open the doors of the rock 'n' roll boys club only to discover more than they bargained for -- is the stuff that rock mythology is made of. Their tough, sexy, so-called "jail bait" style continues to inspire female rockers from Courtney Love to the Donnas.

They put out five albums -- including "The Runaways" and "Queens of Noise" -- before breaking up in 1979, and saw as many bass players come and go, but the four primary characters in the film remain who we think of when we think of the Runaways: Jett and Currie, drummer Sandy West and lead guitarist Lita Ford.

Some critics wrote them off as little more than the products of a savvy marketing strategy Ted Ginn Jr Panthers Jersey , but Jett, whose black hair and consistently lean, punk look has earned her fashion icon status, dismisses this idea. "People think that our images were dictated to us by men, and that's not the case," she says. "It's not like [our producer] Kim Fowley sat down and said, 'Cherie, you're gonna wear a corset. And Lita, you're gonna wear shorts onstage.' We would have laughed! Nobody told us what to wear. People like to think that that's the case because if teenage girls are being sexual" -- her voice drips with sarcasm -- "obviously men have something to do with it."

One only needs to see 15-year-old Cherie Currie in her signature black-and-white corset and fishnets Kelvin Benjamin Panthers Jersey , singing "Cherry Bomb," to know there was nothing coy about the in-your-face approach. For Carrie Borzillo, author of the 2008 book "Cherry Bomb: The Ultimate Guide to Becoming a Better Flirt, a Tougher Chick, and a Hotter Girlfriend -- and to Living Life Like a Rock Star": " 'Cherry Bomb' is about taking the world by storm and going for what you want."

It's hard to believe, then, that these girl groundbreakers -- headliners on bills with Cheap Trick, the Ramones and Blondie and revered by later generations of chick rockers -- are all but unknown in the age of "American Idol." Even the film's lead actresses admit they were unfamiliar with the Runaways when they first read Sigismondi's script.

So Stewart and Fanning took their cues from the source: Jett, who executive produced the film and Currie were regulars on the set. Stewart says that without the input of Jett Thomas Davis Sr Panthers Jersey , with whom she remains close friends, "I would have felt like such a fraud."

Fanning, for her part, did such a spot-on, snarly version of "Cherry Bomb" that the real Cherie broke down and cried when she saw it live.

For Sigismondi, who has made her name with stylized music videos for Marilyn Manson and Christina Aguilera, keeping things raw and real onscreen was a new kind of challenge. "The '70s are so out there," she says. "It's really easy for that to become a caricature."

The director was intent on letting the rough edges show in her R-rated movie. "Don't cover pimples,'" she remembers saying to the makeup artists. "Give me bedhead.'" she told the hair stylists.

Carol Beadle Greg Olsen Panthers Jersey , Sigismondi's longtime costume designer, also steered clear of any kind of modern, glossy polish. "This was a subculture," says Beadle, flipping through a binder filled with pages from old Tiger Beat and Melody Maker magazines featuring regular Runaways hangouts like Rodney Bingenheimer's English Disco and o.
