Pavlyuchenko enjoyed a superb match, and coolly slotted home a 52nd-minute penalty after Fraizer Campbell was fouled by Wigan keeper Richard Kingson.

Modric headed home a second after Jamie O’Hara’s shot hit the post, before Henri Camara scored for Wigan late on.

But Pavlyuchenko had the final say with a fine injury-time goal, keeping his team in three cup competitions.

They have a Carling Cup semi-final against Burnley on Tuesday and a UEFA Cup date at Shakhtar Donetsk in February.

But although Premier League survival remains their number one objective, boss Harry Redknapp - an FA Cup winner with Portsmouth last May - must have been pleased with much of what he saw against a side who have won five of their last six Premier League starts.

And as heartened as he will have been with Pavlyuchenko’s virtuoso performance, he would have been equally pleased with Heurelho Gomes’s confident display in goal, although he was rarely tested by an off-colour Wigan attack.

Pavlyuchenko and Darren Bent started in attack for Spurs, who had Gareth Bale at left-back and O’Hara playing in front of him.

Wigan had injury problems, with Lee Cattermole suspended and Emile Heskey, Chris Kirkland and Amr Zaki all out, leaving Kingson to make his debut and Camara to lead the line.

Camara had the first chance of the match, with an opening intelligently worked down the left by Kevin Kilbane and Antonio Valencia but his header flew a yard wide of the far post.

Moments later, at the opposite end, Modric spurned an equally inviting chance, when he played a delightful one-two with Pavlyuchenko before drilling his left-footed shot wide.

Spurs emerged as the more creative force, with Pavlyuchenko and David Bentley frequently finding space, and Kilbane almost scored an own-goal when attempting to clear a cross from the England international.

Bent limped off and was replaced by Campbell in the 28th minute, and the 21-year-old immediately looked at home, finding a good position as he almost converted a Bentley cross with his first touch.

Probably the closest either side came to a goal in the first half was on 44 minutes. O’Hara’s weak cross rebounded fortunately to Modric, who turned and shot on instinct, forcing Kingson into a low save.

But had he released the unmarked Bentley, hovering menacingly to his right, Spurs would surely have gone into the break with a 1-0 lead.

Wigan started the match, statistically, as the team with the best form in the top flight, boasting 15 points from the last 18 available. But they remained on the back foot early in the second half, so it was no surprise that the home team opened the scoring on 52 minutes.

Campbell’s pace was the key, as he surged into the area chasing a ball which ricocheted invitingly into his path. Kingson tried to challenge fairly, but caught the striker’s ankle with his glove and referee Alan Wiley had little option but to point to the spot.

Pavlyuchenko buried the penalty-kick confidently low and left and minutes later almost set up a second goal for Campbell, whose header was this time brilliantly saved by Kingson.

Wigan responded with their brightest spell of the match, winning two corners in quick succession, but the omnipresent Pavlyuchenko was on hand to put in a vital block as Paul Scharner attempted to force an equaliser.

However the majority of the attacks were by the home team, and when O’Hara - whose build-up play had often been patchy - fired his shot against the post, Modric was positioned perfectly to latch onto the loose ball.

Stars call for ceasefire in Gaza

Wigan did eventually score, mainly through some weak Spurs defending, but Pavlyuchenko’s super strike from outside the area in the final seconds gave the home fans the climactic finish they would have desired.

However, there was a sour note for Redknapp in the closing moments when he chose not to use substitute Hossam Ghaly, despite the Egyptian midfielder being stripped and ready to come on, because the home crowd jeered the player.

It would have been Ghaly’s return to the first-team after throwing his shirt on the ground when substituted under Martin Jol in 2007.

Kathy Griffin proved to be the perfect co-host yet again for CNN’s New Year’s Eve countdown coverage when she yelled back at a Times Square heckler. The self-proclaimed D-List comedienne, co-hosting with Anderson Cooper, was so fed up with someone (we’re not sure if it was a man or a woman, but we hope he/she emerges!) that she yelled—on air— “Screw you. Why don’t you get a job, buddy? You know what? I don’t go to your job and knock the dicks out of your mouth.”

Pascal s wager

The NY Post, which suggests that Griffin could be on CNN’s S-list (ha!), says she was not available for comment, but noted that her fans were voicing their support on MySpace: “Best way to bring in a New Year EVER” and “Kathy, you can come to my job and knock the dicks out of my mouth anytime!!!! LOVE YA”

After the jump, some montages of Griffin and Cooper’s coverage. And Entertainment Weekly’s Popwatch was also amused by how Cooper “admit[ed] he can’t properly pronounce double Ts, especially embarrassing as he lives in ‘Manhadden.’” (P.S. Cooper’s resolution is to blog more.)

We can thank instructables user arcticpenguin for this excellent explanation of cross-head, cross-point, cruciform, and square drive screws and drivers!

These screw types have a “+” shaped recess on the head and are driven by a cross-head screwdriver, designed originally for use with mass-production mechanical screwing machines. There are a few other recessed drive screws presented that you also want to be aware. So, why all the confusion? Why all the damaged screw heads and drivers? Why is this screw and driver thing so awkward? Read on and be amazed while I unravel the mystery of screw drives and present some you may have never seen.

If the lawyers at 20th Century Fox really wanted to kill Watchmen when they filed a copyright claim against the Warner Bros. production, they got the perfect ammunition as a Christmas gift Wednesday from a federal judge in Los Angeles.

The New York Times is reporting that U.S. District Court Judge Gary A. Feess will soon rule in favor of Fox — granting the studio a copyright claim to the movie franchise, which had been in development at several Hollywood studios over the years before Warner Bros. finally got the job done with director Zack Snyder.

charm a free sample of dave gibbons’ affecting watching the watchmen

“Fox owns a copyright interest consisting of, at the very least, the right to distribute the Watchmen motion picture,” said the five-page ruling issued Wednesday by Feess.

That’s coal in the stocking of any Watchmen fan who was looking forward to seeing this film premiere in March — if ever. Snyder’s live-action film has been heavily promoted by Warner Bros. and is one of 2009’s most highly anticipated releases, as comics fans yearn to see writer Alan Moore and artist Dave Gibbons’ brainy comic book series brought to the big screen.

More details will emerge when the judge publishes his ruling after the Christmas holiday, but Feess urged the two sides to work toward a settlement rather than suiting up for a courtroom battle.

“The parties may wish to turn their efforts from preparing for trial to negotiating a resolution of this dispute or positioning the case for review,” he said in the ruling.

“Such a ruling could screw up Warner Bros.’ plans to release the pic as soon as March,” writes Nikki Finke at Deadline Hollywood Daily. “Unless, of course, Fox is just looking for a single payout or share in the proceeds.”
