The trailer has just gone viral for mixed martial arts fighter Gina Carano’s new movie “Haywire.”The trailer shows a pretty and pretty aggressive Carano taking on several fights with her male costars.

This past week, both Carano and Academy Award winning director Steven Soderbergh sat on a panel at the San Diego Comic Con convention to discuss the upcoming movie. Soderbergh, who won an Academy Award in 2000 for “Traffic,” saw Carano in a televised MMA fight and decided to base an action movie on her. “I’ve never seen someone like her fight – in a cage,” Soderbergh has said about the fighter, who is also a successful model, reported USA Today.

According to Carano, Soderbergh told her at a meeting that he wanted “to make this realistic thriller action movie with a female lead,” and he wanted to base it around the MMA star, reported Fox.

Carano went undefeated in MMA until 2009, when she lost to Christiane “Cyborg” Santos and has not been in a fight since. But, Carano does not plan on giving up fighting for good. USA Today reports that the 29-year-old’s “first love is fighting,” and she plans to be back in the ring after “Haywire” is released this January.

In “Haywire,” Carano plays special operative and former Marine who is framed for a murder she didn’t commit. She stars alongside Michael Douglas, Bill Paxton, Ewan MacGregor, Antonio Banderas and Channing Tatum.

From what the trailer has shown so far, Soderbergh utilizes Carano’s athletic ability to enhance the grittiness of the fight scenes, making them seem more realistic because Carano is reportedly taking and giving punches herself instead of using a stunt double.

USA Today has called her the “female Jason Statham” and Fox News has already crowned her the “newest female action star.”

Kristin Cavallari, Jay Cutler end their engagement

Kristin Cavallari and Chicago Bears quarterback Jay Cutler have called off their engagement, multiple sources said Sunday and Monday.

OK, one source told it more specifically: "She got dumped," People heard. "She's absolutely devastated. She can't believe this is happening."

Meanwhile, in Cutler's circles, folks couldn't believe the end of the NFL lockout was happening. But that's another story.

The breakup news first came via Access Hollywood, which also reported the dumpage angle. The 24-year-old TV personality known for "The Hills" and "Laguna Beach" was celebrating her engagement a week ago with a party, shortly after the couple's gift registries went public.

Then Saturday night, People said, Cavallari was seen out at a club in L.A. sans ring, telling the likes of Nicky Hilton and Alessandra Ambrosio that it was all over with the 28-year-old jock.

Cavallari and Cutler had been dating since last fall, and got engaged in April.

Elin Nordegren: Investor Jamie Dingman New Boyfriend?

Does Elin Nordegren have a new boyfriend?

Elin Nordegren

Yes, according to the New York Post. The paper reports that Tiger Woods' ex-wife and mom of two has been dating American investor Jamie Dingman, the son of billionaire Michael Dingman, for several months.
Dingman, who works for his father, has previously been linked to model and actress Bridget Moynahan--the mother of John Edward Thomas, her son with Tom Brady--and Princess Madeleine of Sweden. The New York Post reports that Dingman splits his time between China and the Bahamas, and also Florida and Sweden--where Nordegren has homes--as of late.


Swedish newspaper Expressen spotted Nordegren and Dingman kissing outside her Stockholm apartment earlier this week. Nordegren recently put the three-bedroom, two bathroom penthouse on the market for $5 million.


Nordegren was last linked to a 35-year-old South African student whom she met at the Florida college where they both were studying. Since that report, she has largely avoided the limelight, though she made news again when she purchased a $12.2 million Florida mansion last March, 10 miles from Wood's new pad in Jupiter, Fla.


Nordegren and Woods officially divorced last August, nine months after Tiger's Thanksgiving day car accident that eventually exposed the golfer's many indiscretions, costing him millions of dollars in corporate endorsements and forcing him to take time away from the game.


Elin reportedly received $110 million and joint custody of couple's two children in the divorce settlement.
