  • NFL May Have to Reinstate Ray Rice in November after Final Appeal Hearing

    It looks like Ray Rice could be back in NFL action within just a few short weeks. Rice was suspended indefinitely at the start of the current season by NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell after that now-infamous elevator security tape was released showing Rice knocking out Janay Palmer with one punch. The general public was outraged to learn Rice was originally punished with just a two-game suspension and Goodell had to act quickly to try and save face, so he threw the proverbial book at Rice. A final appeal hearing is scheduled for mid-November, and it could easily swing in Rice's favor.

  • 'RHONJ' Star Teresa Giudice Losing Endorsements after Being Sentenced to Jail for Fraud Conviction

    It was not that long ago that Teresa Giudice was juggling endorsement deals and really making a nice chunk of cash because of her being recognized from "The Real Housewives of New Jersey." Unfortunately for Giudice, companies do not like to affiliate themselves with shady people, and after her fraud conviction and imminent prison sentence those endorsement deals are evaporating. The first to go was a lucrative deal with Fabulicious Gelato bars.

  • Jesse Matthew Indicted for Attempted Murder in 2005 Sexual Assault While Investigators Wait for Forensic Results in Hannah Graham Case

    Jesse Matthew, the suspect directly linked to the Hannah Graham case, may not be talking but that is not stopping investigators from putting together a series of cases against him. On Saturday, remains were found in a rural area near where Matthew once lived and, while authorities are waiting for forensic testing to come back so they can make a positive identification, they believe it was Graham's body that was recovered. While working on the missing UVA student's case, police have been able to link Matthew with several other crimes against various women, and on Monday, Oct. 20, Matthew was indicted on an attempted murder charge in a 2005 sexual assault.

  • Oscar Pistorius Sentenced to 5 Years in Prison for Valentine's Day Killing of Reeva Steenkamp

    Just two years ago, Oscar Pistorius was best known for being an Olympic track-and-field star most commonly referred to as "the blade runner." Now that same man has been sentenced to five years behind bars for the Valentine's Day 2013 killing of Reeva Steenkamp. Judge Thokozile Masipa is known for delivering harsh sentences, so many were surprised when she tossed out a murder charge in favor of culpable homicide, but from the start of this morning's proceedings in South Africa it was clear Pistorius was going to prison.

  • Russian Tennis Federation's President Shamil Tarpischev Fined, Suspended Over 'Sexist' Remarks About Serena, Venus Williams

    When Shamil Tarpischev, president of the Russian Tennis Federation, sat down for a joint interview with former Russian tennis star Elena Dementieva on "Evening Urgant," he thought he would be able to crack a few jokes to warm up the audience. Instead, Tarpischev crossed the line almost instantly by taking a shot at Venus and Serena Williams — two of the biggest names in tennis. While laughing, Tarpischev referred to the ladies as "The Williams brothers," a comment that left Dementieva looking stunned as the audience did not know how to react. He ultimately got fined and suspended over his "sexist" remarks.

  • Thousands Follow Monica Lewinsky on Twitter in the Hopes that She Will Mention Affair with President Clinton

    Well, the Twitterverse may have just gotten a little more interesting as Monica Lewinsky decided to join it earlier today. One simple tweet that said, "#HereWeGo" launched tons of interest and speculation into what exactly Lewinsky is going to share with the world — especially after choosing to remain silent for the better part of a decade. It is not that she has yet to post anything amazing, but the potential for what she could choose to say that has everyone excited — especailly her affair with President Bill Clinton.

  • NBC's Dr. Nancy Snyderman Facing Credibility Issues, May Lose Job After Violating Ebola Self-Quarantine

    Nancy Snyderman's mandatory Ebola quarantine is set to end early this week, but her problems may just be beginning. NBC's chief medical editor was with ABC before hopping over to NBC in 2006, and over the years she had become a trusted voice in educating the public about a variety of medical topics. She and her crew were in Liberia reporting on the Ebola crisis when a cameraman, Ashoko Mukpo, contracted the virus. In response to his diagnosis, Snyderman told viewers she and the rest of her team were returning to the States and would voluntarily quarantine themselves. A week later, they were spotted getting take-out food in New Jersey, a decision that led to a mandatory quarantine and backlash from the general public.

  • Khloe Kardashian's Recent Dinner Date With Wiz Khalifa Is Sure To Tick Off Amber Rose

    There has been a lot of buzz in recent weeks about whether or not Khloe Kardashian will decide to give her marriage to Lamar Odom another shot.

  • Dallas Hospital Made Mistakes in Treating Ebola Patients for Days Before CDC Changed Guidelines

    Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital in Dallas may be one of the best facilities in the country, but when it comes to treating Ebola patients, it now admits it dropped the ball, with deadly consequences. The facility's chief clinical officer Daniel Varga admitted in a Capitol Hill hearing that some of the precautions taken by hospital staff, such as wearing more layers of gear than the CDC, directed actually put the staff at risk.

  • Human Remains Found May Belong to Hannah Graham as Investigators Work to Tie Jesse Matthew to Several Crimes

    University of Virginia student Hannah Graham was first reported missing five weeks ago, and over the weekend a significant finding turned this open case into a death investigation. Sgt. Dale Terry of the Chesterfield Sheriff's Department was with a small search team ready to call it a day when they made a gruesome discovery. Behind an abandoned home nearly 8 miles from where Graham was last seen, Terry and his team discovered a skull and bones scattered across a creek bed with a pair of black pants nearby. While it will take forensic testing to be certain whether these are the remains of Graham, a continued search for her has been called off. Investigators are also working to tie Jesse Matthew to several crimes.

  • 'Love & Hip Hop Atlanta's' Erica Dixon Parties with Lil' Wayne as Christina Milian Is Nowhere in Sight

    If you're a fan of "Love & Hip Hop Atlanta," then you're already familiar with Erica Dixon, Scrappy's baby mama. Dixon comes across as a fairly straight shooter who seems to have minimal luck with men — not that it bothers her much. Dixon is clearly her own woman and she is not about to settle for another player, which is what makes the fact that she was spotted partying with Lil' Wayne so interesting. And Christina Milian was nowhere in sight.

  • Soap Stars' Lisa Rinna, Eileen Davidson Share Dramatic Blowout While Filming 'The Real housewives Of Beverly Hills'

    No one knows drama better than daytime soap stars. They are trained to bring the heat with a simple lingering dirty look and apparently Eileen Davidson has been doing just that while filming the upcoming season of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. Davidson is currently also starring on Days of Our Lives- which is also Lisa Rinna's old stomping grounds. Both ladies were hired by Bravo to give RHOBH a shot of new energy and while they were playing nice at first, it got ugly pretty quickly.

  • Queen Elizabeth Snubs Kate Middleton's Family By Not Inviting Them To Traditional Christmas Day Lunch

    Queen Elizabeth has rewritten many old royal traditions or at least she has been willing to bend a lot of the stuffy old rules in order to accommodate younger members of the family. Kate Middleton's marriage to Prince William is believed to be the catalyst for all of changes and Elizabeth's willingness to slowly but surely take steps to pull the monarchy out of the dark ages. One yearly tradition includes the family gathering at Elizabeth's Sandringham House for lunch on Christmas day. While Kate, William and little Prince George have already been invited to this years' occasion, the rest of the Middleton family has been left off of the guest list.

  • Petition Launched Against Toys R Us for Selling 'Breaking Bad' Action Figures that Carry Bags of Pretend Crystal Meth as an Accessory

    "Breaking Bad" might have been a popular cable show that picked up trophies by the armload in its final seasons, but it was never intended to appeal to children. That is common sense, since people try to ingrain into their kids' heads that drugs are bad. Of course, "Breaking Bad" has had tons of merchandise to go along with its popularity, just like any other successful series, but did you know there is a line of action figures currently under fire? Toys R Us is apparently selling the toys which have bages of pretend crystal meth as an accessory, and one Florida mother has launched a campaign against the retailer with a petition.
