And the Winner of the Haywire Caption Contest Is…


(“I’d like you to go in there and switch outfits with Ewan. And that’s not a suggestion if you ever want to work in Hollywood again.”)

We had some somewhat hilarious (and many, many more not so hilarious) entries in last week’s Haywire caption contest, but unfortunately for everyone else who wanted a shirt with a picture of Gina Carano choking out Michael Fassbender on it, there can only be one winner.

First, let’s take a look at our runners up, who win nothing but the satisfaction of knowing they made someone nearly laugh kinda smile with something they posted on the Internet.

Here are some of our *other* favorites in no particular order:

Kid Clam Curtains:
Steven: “…so you combine the two words and you get the term ‘gunt’.”
.
Gina: “Haha NOW it makes sense.”
.
Ewan: “Wait, I still don’t get it.”

Tyr:
Ewan McGregor: “Ooohhh you beat up people for a living, i thought you said beat off…. Well this is awkward.”

NomadRip:
Soderbergh: “Seriously. That guy that just left. Paxton or Pullman? I have no idea.”

scottdy:
“You realize I could kill you and the chick with the scarf in the blink of any eye?”

shatterproof:
Gina Carano and Ewan McGregor meet a young jewish boy riddled with cancer. Another wish fulfilled.

Check out the winner after the jump.

Haywire opens worldwide on January 20 and if the reviews are any indication, Gina’s performance is solid and more believable that any hollywood actress in an action film. The film is sitting at 100% at RottenTomatoes.com.

Gina Carano’s Haywire Co-Stars Think She’s Pretty Awesome

Access Hollywood was on hand at last week’s Haywire premiere in Hollywood and got the chance to speak with a few members of the film’s cast, including its star, Gina Carano.

Channing Tatum, Bill Paxton and Obi Wan Kenobi all had great things to say about first-time actress, Carano. Hopefully the buttering up they gave her doesn’t persuade her to turn her back on MMA forever in favor of craft services and private posh trailers.

With Cyborg gone, Strikeforce needs a female champ and would you really want to go out knowing your last and only loss came against a cheater? I’m talking to you, Gina. Is that how you’re gonna go out? Fine. But remember that you’re only as good as your last fight, which means you’re a loser.

I’m sorry, Gina. I didn’t mean that. I was just upset that you wouldn’t return any of our calls requesting an interview. I’m sure you did just fine with your movie. We’ll go see it on the opening weekend. Actually we’ll go se it twice, but only because we’re fans of your work in the cage.

Anyway, I should be going. GNC has a sale on tainted supplements.

Video: Don’t Worry Guys, Gina Wasn’t Pregnant

If any of you were worried (and we know some were since we read the comments here) that the reason your *former* fantasy girlfriend Gina Carano pulled out of her June Strikeforce return bout against Sarah D’Alelio was that she was pregnant, you can put her poster back up above your bed and her pillowcase back on in place of your Empire Strikes Back one.

Gina says she wasn’t with child, that is unless you’re counting Kit Cope and that her mystery illness will remain just that.

Carano, who counts Ewan McGregor as “by far one of her most favorite human beings on the planet” told MMA H.E.A.T. host Karyn Bryant Saturday night that, contrary to popular belief, the baby she wasn’t carrying wasn’t Randy Couture’s and the non-existent pregnancy wasn’t the reason she went to train with Team Jackson for the camp.

“You know, I tried to fight in June, but I had to pull out for some medical reasons. I had the most beautiful training camp with everybody up at Greg Jackson’s [gym].No, [I haven’t revealed the health issue that made me unable to fight in June]. It was personal,” she says. “People were saying that it was Randy Couture[‘s baby I was pregnant with]…Yeah. It’s like so messed up. No. None of that. Thank God.THANK GOD.Absolutely thank God. None of that. Randy’s like my…He’s like my brother, or older brother. Yeah.”

As far as her new timetable for a return to fighting, Carano says that she hasn’t really had time to think about it since she’s so busy living the life of a Hollywood actress with the release of Haywire rapidly approaching in January.

“Now my focus is…I’m kind of a ‘one step at a time’ type of girl; my focus is to get this movie out January 20 and get on the other side of that ‘cos this has been something that has been building for the last two years now.As soon as I get on the other side of that, I can focus more. Until then I’m kind of like, ‘Ugh!’ It’s only a couple more months, too. So I’ve got a bunch of press to do and then I’m gonna get on the other side of it and just be happy,” she explains. “I am a one step at a time kind of girl so my focus is on getting this movie out…As soon as I can get on the other side of that, I can focus more.”

Let the irresponsible  speculation as to Gina’s “medical issue” by the Potato Nation’s armchair medical experts begin.
