Wait—didn't anybody tell her "you don't want to mess up that pretty face?"
ORLANDO, Fla. — Gina Carano is the 29-year-old daughter of a former backup quarterback for the Dallas Cowboys and a cheerleader-pretty mom. And those two ends of the gene pool have been having a knock-down drag-out fight in her from the get-go.
Carano: martial arts to Hollywood

MCCLATCHY TRIBUNE
"Growing up, I was a big Pride and Prejudice fan," she says. "But I kind of got into 'True Romance' or 'Braveheart', too. You know, ACTION films."
Pretty enough to model, she took up martial arts as well. And thanks to her skills in the ring and her drop-kick-dead good looks, she became a stand-out star in the world of professional mixed martial arts.
up wins and winning fans. One of those fans was the filmmaker Steven Soderbergh ("Oceans Eleven," "Contagion"). In Carano, he saw a female actor action who could "kick the $% out of" any cast he could assemble around her. So he assembled some big-name actors and put Carano in "Haywire," which has her playing a secret agent fighting her way through legions of bad guys. Carano may be Hollywood's next big thing.
As a girl, shed studied jazz, tap and ballet dancing, which makes fight choreography come easy to her. Soderbergh has been telling one and all that his hardest job was convincing co-stars like Michael Fassbender that the didn't have to go easy on her just because she's a woman.
"It's been a wonderful, wonderful risk," Carano says of the path she took to the world of film. "I took that risk and got a wonderful life and better opportunities."
Not that Hollywood don't give her a moment of truth or two. When the baggage you bring to the set is how tough you are, they don't worry about scaring you.

Family and fans mourn loss of legendary singer
MCCLATCHY TRIBUNE
Etta James, the fiery blues singer known best for her uncharacteristically sweet ballad "At Last," died Friday morning in Riverside, Calif., after a long battle with chronic leukemia. She was 73.
One of the first women inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, James began her career in 1954, at the age of 15, with her group The Creolettes and theracy-for-its-time hit "Roll With Me Henry." Her bold delivery and powerful voice quickly separated her from the crowd, as did her groundbreaking choice of material, leading Atlantic Records' producer Jerry Wexler to call her "the greatest of all modern blues singers."
"This is a tremendous loss for the family, her friends and fans around the world," longtime friend and manager, Lape De Leon told CNN. "She was a true original who could sing it all—her music defied category."
MCCLATCHY TRIBUNE
Etta James performs at the Orange County Blues Festival, Dana Point, Sept. 26, 1993, James, the legendary rhythm and blues singer, has died, her son said Friday. She was 73 and had been in failing health for years.
James, born Jamesetta Hawkins in Los Angeles in 1938, was tougttaking and forward in her music—scoring hits with "Good Rockin' Daddy" and "I Just Wanna Make Love to You" and "W.O.M.A.N.",
an answer song to Bo Diddley's "I'm a Man." But there was also an ache in her voice, even before her very public battle with heroin addiction in the '60s and '70s, that showed she wasn't invincible, especially in "All I Could Do Was Cry" and in her interpretations of such classics as "Someone to Watch Over Me" and "My Funny Valentine".
"Music was thunder and joy, lightning bolts of happiness and praise, foot-stomping, dance-shouting, good-feeling singing from the soul." James wrote in her autobiography, "Rage to Survive: The Etta James Story." "I was also lucky to have the lungs to keep up with these bad boys. When it came to singing, I was no shrinking violet."
There has been a surge in interest in James' music in recent years, following Beyonce's portrayal in the movie "Cadillac Records" in 2008 and the use of "At Last"
for Barack and Michelle Obama's first dance after his inauguration in 2009, pushing James' version of the song back onto the pop charts.
On the current season of "The X Factor", teenage singer Rachel Crow chose James' wrenching "I'd Rather Go Blind" as her theme, while the year's biggest star, Adele, has called James "her favorite singer ever."
"Everything she sings—you believe her, even if she never wrote a word of it herself," Adele told The Observer last year. "I saw her live in New York not so long ago; extraordinary. There she was, at the age of 71, singing. 'I want to
ta ta you, baby"—almost groping herself, as if the meaning was clear enough already. She just has so much attitude."
James retired from recording in 2011, after releasing her final album "The Dreamer" in November, featuring her hard-hitting takes on everything from Otis Redding's "Cigarettes and Coffee" to Guns "Nees" Welcome to the Jungle."
"I wish to thank all my fans who have shown me love and support over all these years," James said in a statement accompanying the album's release. "I love you all."

New pop culture cable channel called AXS
LOS ANGELES — Four of the biggest players in the entertainment industry Ryan Seacrest, Mark Cuban, concert giant AEG and Hollywood powerhouse talent firm Creative Artists Agency are teaming up to launch a new pop culture cable channel.
Called AXS (short for access), the cable network is envisioned to focus primarily on live programming aimed at entertainment aficionados. It is to include a heavy diet of concerts and lifestyle shows and use production facilities at AEG's downtown L.A. Live complex as its on-air home base.
"The industry in Los Angeles is a sport." Cuban said of the channel's plans to cover show business on a 24/7 live basis. The network's flagship show is to be called "AXS Live," which Cuban described as a "SportsCenter" for pop culture and music.
