Girls Gone Wild founder Joe Francis tells In Touch exclusively that he and Christina McLarty, whom he wed on November 6 in a nonbinding ceremony in Punta Mita, Mexico, have split. "After careful and thoughtful consideration on both our parts, Christina and I have mutually decided to end our relationship," the pair says in a statement. "We entered into our relationship with love, and it's with love and kindness that we leave it. We wish each other the best for the future." Joe married Christina, an Arkansas native who works for CBS as an on-air reporter, in a civil ceremony, so there will be no divorce proceedings, because the couple was never legally married. An insider tells In Touch, "Christina has moved out and kept her 9-carat engagement ring."

Zuffa claims use of term "ultimate fighting" on Fighters Uncaged packaging violates trademark.

A month after it released Fighters Uncaged for the Xbox 360's Kinect motion-sensing system, Ubisoft has a legal tussle on its hands. Last week, Ultimate Fighting Championship parent company Zuffa LLC filed a lawsuit in the US District Court in Nevada against the French publisher's US arm, based in California.

Fighters Uncaged has led to some lawyers being unleashed.

According to the suit, Zuffa is taking issue with Fighters Uncaged's packaging, which bears the term "ULTIMATE FIGHTING" in all capital letters on its back cover--a term that the company has trademarked. "[The] defendant's use of the ULTIMATE FIGHTING name and mark is identical or confusingly similar to the use of the UFC® marks, including the ULTIMATE FIGHTING® name and mark on Zuffa's licensed video games." THQ publishes the official UFC games and recently signed an exclusivity deal through 2018 with the company.

The suit continues, "By using the words ULTIMATE FIGHTING® and setting them all apart in capital letters, [the] Defendant is creating or attempting to create an association between its product, 'Fighters Uncaged' and the UFC®. By using the ULTIMATE FIGHTING® name and mark on its video game, [the] Defendant is attempting to trade on the goodwill of the UFC®."

Furthermore, Zuffa has taken umbrage to Fighters Uncaged's setting, which is the world of illegal street fighting. In its complaint, Zuffa lays out its years-long effort to make mixed martial arts a respected sport. It points out that when the company took over the UFC brand in 2001, MMA was banned in most states, but it's now sanctioned in 44 of the 50 states in the union.

Zuffa believes that it has suffered "monetary damages" and "irreparable injury to its business, reputation, and goodwill" as a result of Ubisoft's use of the term "ultimate fighting" on Fighters Uncaged's packaging. The company wants the publisher to be prevented from further using the term "ultimate fighting" and wants all packaging that uses the term to be destroyed. Zuffa is also seeking all profits Ubisoft may have made from the game, as well as attorney's fees, exemplary damages, compensatory damages, and triple the normal damages for trademark violation.

As of press time, Ubisoft had not commented on the complaint. For more on Fighters Uncaged, read GameSpot's full review of the game.

Sure, you've probably seen countless scientific studies involving video games -- but have you have you ever wondered what your brain actually looked like while your playing video games? Well, feast your eyes on the image above. That's an MRI scan of New York Times writer Matt Richtel's brain that was captured while he played a simple driving game -- all in the name of science (and journalism), of course. As Richtel notes, however, that's just one example of the ways researchers are using such technology to "map the ethereal concept of attention," and scientists have turned up some other interesting findings as of late. Researchers at the University of Utah, for instance, have found that people's ability to juggle two tasks begins to drop off in their 30s and then sharply drops in their 40s, which contradicts earlier suspicions that people's ability to multitask only began to degrade when they're much older. Some other researchers are still suspicious of those findings, however, and Dr. Gazzaley of the University of California at San Diego is quick to point out that all of this research is still in the earliest stages -- he's expecting some more detailed findings next year when his team expands their tests and begin to incorporate EEG monitoring as well.
