ESPN analyst Steve Phillips confessed he had an affair with Brooke Hundley, a 22 year-old ESPN assistant this past summer but when he dumped her things turned into a nightmare. Brooke has reportedly sent phone calls and a letter that bragged about her sexcapades to his wife Marni Phillips.

“I have extreme concerns about the health and safety of my kids and myself,” Steve Phillips said in a police statement, adding that the woman became “obsessive and delusional” after he dumped her.

Steve has been suspended for a week by ESPN and is being sued for divorce by his wife. Steve and Marni have four sons.

Kanye West Died?



Rumors that Kanye West died in a Los Angeles car crash are flooding the internet.

The bogus story created a flood of postings on social networking websites, like Facebook and Twitter. The rumor appears to have started as a prank with this posting on 4Chan.org:
“bizarre car crash in Los Angeles involving two luxury cars early this morning rapper Kanye West dead, a second injured, a third arrested for gross vehicular manslaughter and a fourth person was detained by police.”

Hackers have managed to push malicious webpages claiming to be about Kanye West's "death" high on the results of internet search engines.
Google trends show that kanye west, kanye west death, is kanye west dead, rip kanye west, kanye west rip, were one of the most searched topics.

The fake death report is just the latest rumor to spread like wildfire this year. Similar rumors about celebrities Jeff Goldblum, Matt Damon, Natalie Portman, Emma Watson, Justin Bieber, Lil Wayne and Miley Cyrus were also reported.

President Obama wins Nobel Peace Prize

President Barack Obama won the Nobel Peace Prize on Friday because the judges found his promise of disarmament and diplomacy too good to ignore.

The five-member Norwegian Nobel Committee – four of whom spoke to The Associated Press, said awarding Obama the peace prize could be seen as an early vote of confidence intended to build global support for the policies of his young administration.

They lauded the change in global mood wrought by Obama’s calls for peace and cooperation, and praised his pledges to reduce the world stock of nuclear arms, ease U.S. conflicts with Muslim nations and strengthen its role in combating climate change.

John Hughes Died




TMZ is reporting director John Hughes died by suffered a heart attack while taking a morning walk during a trip to New York City with family.


Hughes is best known for writing and directing some of our favorite movies from the 1980’s - National Lampoon’s Vacation, Sixteen Candles, The Breakfast Club, European Vacation, Weird Science, Pretty in Pink, Ferris Bueller’s Day Off, Planes Trains & Automobiles, Uncle Buck, Christmas Vacation, and Home Alone. Hughes dropped out of moviemaking in 1991.


John Hughes began his career as an ad copywriter in Chicago. During this time, he created what became the famous Edge "Credit Card Shaving Test" ad campaign.

His first attempt at comedy writing was selling jokes to well-established performers such as Rodney Dangerfield and Joan Rivers. This led him to pen a story, inspired by his family trips as a child, that was to become his calling card and entry onto the staff of the National Lampoon Magazine. That story, "Vacation '58", became the basis for the movie Vacation. Subsequent stories such as the April Fool's Day classics "My Vagina" and "My Penis" gave an early indication of John Hughes' ear for the particular rhythm of teen speak, as well as the various indignities of teen life in general.

His first credited screenplay, Class Reunion, was written while still on staff at the magazine. The resulting movie became the second disastrous attempt by the flagship to duplicate the runaway success of Animal House. It was John Hughes' next screenplay for the imprint, National Lampoon's Vacation (1983), however, that would prove to be a major hit, putting the Lampoon back on the map. Although John Hughes had no involvement in European Vacation (1985), he did write and co-produced Christmas Vacation (1989) based on another of his Lampoon stories.

His first directorial effort, Sixteen Candles, won almost unanimous praise when it was released in 1984, due in no small part to its more realistic depiction of middle-class high school life, which stood in stark contrast to the Porky's-inspired comedies being made at the time. It was also the first in a string of efforts set in or around high school, including The Breakfast Club, Pretty in Pink, Weird Science and Ferris Bueller's Day Off (See also Brat Pack).

To avoid being pigeonholed as a maker of teen comedies, John Hughes branched out in 1987, directing Planes, Trains & Automobiles starring Steve Martin and John Candy. His later output would not be so critically well received, though movies like Uncle Buck (one of the first movies to display the change in teenager's choice of music from rock to rap) proved popular. John Hughes's greatest commercial success came with Home Alone, a movie he wrote and produced about a child accidentally left behind when his family goes away for Christmas, forcing him to protect himself and his house from a pair of inept burglars. Home Alone would be the top grossing movie of 1990, and remains his most successful live-action comedy of all time. His last movie as a director was 1991's Curly Sue.

Here are some famous quotes from John Hughes movies

Ferris Bueller's Day Off quotes

"That's right, I'm Abe Froman." "... the Sausage King of Chicago?"

"Save Ferris"

"Bueller? ... Bueller? ... Bueller?"

"Excuse me: if whoever was in this house is still in the house, I'd like you
to know that I've just called the police. I'd also like to add that I've got
my father's gun and a *scorching* case of herpes."

"Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a
while, you could miss it."

Pretty in Pink quotes

"His name is Blane? Oh! That's a major appliance, that's not a name!"

"Love's a bitch, Duck. Love's a bitch. "

"Well, that's very nice. I'm glad. Well here's... here's the point, Andie.
I'm not particularly concerned with whether or not you like me, because
I live to like you and... and I can't like you anymore. So... so when you're
feeling real low and... and dirty, and your heart is splattered all over hell,
don't look to me to pump you back up 'cause... 'cause... 'cause maybe
for the first time in your life I won't be there!"

"You said you couldn't be with someone who didn't believe in you. Well I
believed in you. I just didn't believe in myself. I love you. Always."

Sixteen Candles quotes

"I can't believe my grandmother actually felt me up."

"I can't believe I gave my panties to a geek."

"By night's end, I predict me and her will interface."

The Breakfast Club quotes

"Could you describe the ruckus, sir?"

"Face it. You're a neo maxi zoom dweebie, what would you be doing if
you weren't out making yourself a better citizen?"

"Eat my shorts."

"Are you crazy? -- Obviously she's crazy if she's screwing a shrink."


Johne Hughes, we are going to miss you

Rapper Dolla Killed


An Atlanta rapper known as Dolla, was fatally shot at the Beverly Center on Monday afternoon.

The shooting occurred around 3:10 p.m. in the parking structure of the popular Westside mall. Dolla, a rapper whose real name is Roderick Anthony Burton II, was shot in the head while he and another rapper, D.J. Shabbazz, were waiting in the valet area, according to Dolla's publicist, Sue Vannasing. A friend who was with the rappers at the Beverly Center as well as a Los Angeles Police Department source also confirmed his identity to The Times.

Two suspects fled from the scene, police said. About two hours later, Los Angeles police detained a “person of interest" as he attempted to board a plane out of Los Angeles International Airport.

Dolla arrived at LAX from Atlanta earlier in the day and went to the Beverly Center to do some shopping, Vannasing said.

He had apparently had a dispute with some people, perhaps at the airport, Vannasing said.

“They followed him to the mall because they knew he was coming," Vannasing said. Los Angeles police officials could not immediately confirm or deny that account.

Dolla was taken to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, where he died, police said.

Dolla was an up-and-coming rapper out of Atlanta who had recorded several singles. He was in town to work on his first album, slated to be released this summer on Jive Records, Vannasing said. His first single, released in 2007, was “Who the [Expletive] is that?"

Obama will be addressing a push for credit-card legislation with a town-hall meeting in New Mexico on Thursday after devoting much of his weekly radio address to the topic.

With the Senate scheduled to vote on its credit-card legislation this week, President Obama is embracing complaints from Americans about interest-rate increases, penalties and fees for their cards. He wants Congress to deliver legislation for him to sign by Memorial Day, on May 25.

I’m calling on Congress … to pass a credit card reform bill that protects American consumers so that I can sign it into law by Memorial Day, there is no time for delay.

Comedy Actor Dom DeLuise dies at 75

Dom DeLuise died in his sleep on May 4, 2009 at Saint John's Health Center in Santa Monica, California. He was hospitalized at the time, suffering from kidney failure and respiratory problems following a long battle with cancer.

He was a comedian, film director, television producer, chef, and author. He was the husband of actress Carol Arthur, and the father of actor, writer, director Peter DeLuise, and actors David DeLuise and Michael DeLuise.

His first acting credit was as a regular performer in the television show The Entertainers in 1964. In the 1970s and 1980s, he often co-starred with Burt Reynolds; together they appeared in the films The Cannonball Run and Cannonball Run II, Smokey and the Bandit II, The End, The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas and All Dogs Go to Heaven. DeLuise was the host of the television show Candid Camera from 1991 to 1992.

TV producer Greg Garrison hired DeLuise to appear as a specialty act on the popular Dean Martin show. DeLuise ran through his "Dominick the Great" routine, a riotous example of a magic act gone wrong, with host Martin as a bemused volunteer from the audience. Dom's catch phrase in broken Italian dialect, No Applause Necessary, Sava to the End. The show went so well that DeLuise was soon a regular on Martin's program, participating in both songs and sketches. Garrison also featured DeLuise in his own hour-long comedy specials for ABC. (Martin was often just off-camera when these were taped, and his distinctive laugh can be heard loud and clear.)

DeLuise was probably best known as a regular in Mel Brooks's films. He appeared in The Twelve Chairs, Blazing Saddles, Silent Movie, History of the World, Part I, Spaceballs & Robin Hood: Men in Tights. Brooks' late wife, actress Anne Bancroft, directed Dom in Fatso (1980). He also had a cameo in Johnny Dangerously as the Pope, and in Jim Henson's The Muppet Movie as a wayward Hollywood talent agent who comes across Kermit the Frog singing "The Rainbow Connection" in the film's opening scene.


Dom DeLuise was also an avid cook and author of several books on cooking, in recent years he appeared as a regular contributor to a syndicated home improvement radio show, On The House with The Carey Brothers, giving listeners tips on culinary topics. He also wrote seven children's books.

We will definately MISS you!

Rick Ankiel carted off the field





Rick Ankiel was carted off the field with his head and neck immobilized, then taken to a hospital for tests after the St. Louis Cardinals outfielder slammed headfirst into the fence following a running catch Monday night.

Ankiel chased down Pedro Feliz’s long drive in the eighth inning against the Philadelphia Phillies but couldn’t stop himself from crashing into the padded center-field wall.

He stayed flat on his back for several minutes as teammates gathered around him, and the game was delayed about 15 minutes as a hush fell over Busch Stadium.

Ankiel was placed in a neck brace and strapped to a gurney before being carted off the field accompanied by team physician Dr. George Paletta and trainer Barry Weinberg. As he was wheeled off, Ankiel flashed a thumbs-up sign.

“It’s a scary thing to see, there’s no doubt about it,” Cardinals general manager John Mozeliak said. “The fact that when Dr. Paletta saw him and said he was responsive, I think that’s encouraging.”

Ankiel was taken to a hospital for a CT scan and X-rays. Paletta told the team Ankiel never lost consciousness.

“I hope he’s not hurt,” Phillies manager Charlie Manuel said after his team’s 6-1 win. “He made a tremendous play, he gave 110 percent effort. He hit the wall pretty hard, from what I saw.”

When the Phillies’ Ryan Howard saw Ankiel give the thumbs-up, he knew it was a good sign.

“As soon as he hit, the first thing you want is to see him move,” Howard said. “It took a little while, but when he gave the thumbs-up that was a good feeling.”

Paletta told Cardinals manager Tony La Russa that Ankiel showed signs of whiplash and puffiness in his face. La Russa said Ankiel hit the wall so hard he dented his cap.

Cinco de Mayo

Cinco de Mayo (Spanish for "fifth of May") is a regional holiday in Mexico, primarily celebrated in the state of Puebla, with some limited recognition in other parts of Mexico. The holiday commemorates the Mexican army's unlikely defeat of French forces at the Battle of Puebla on May 5, 1862, under the leadership of Mexican General Ignacio Zaragoza SeguĂ­n.

While outnumbered, the Mexicans defeated a much better-equipped French army that had known no defeat for almost 50 years. However, Cinco de Mayo is not "an obligatory federal holiday" in Mexico, but rather a holiday that can be observed voluntarily.

While Cinco de Mayo has limited significance nationwide in Mexico, the date is observed in the United States and other locations around the world as a celebration of Mexican heritage and pride. However, a common misconception in the United States is that Cinco de Mayo is Mexico's Independence Day, which actually is September 16 (dieciséis de septiembre in Spanish), the most important national patriotic holiday in Mexico.

Swine Flu Virus hits United States

Reported cases of Swine Flu in United States
(As of April 26, 2009)

California - 7
Kansas -2
New York City - 8
Ohio - 1
Texas - 2


Google Flu Trends , a Web service provided by Google.org, has been updating itself with data and news stories about the swine flu pandemic. Social-networking tools such as Twitter have been blazing with members’ posts about the possible spread of the disease. As of April 27, swine flu has killed 103 people in Mexico and spread to the United States, Europe and possibly other locations around the world.

President Barack Obama said Monday that the threat of spreading swine flu infections is a cause for concern but "not a cause for alarm" as the United States undertook close border monitoring to contain it.

Here are the CDC's for limiting your risk of catching the swine flu virus:

* Cover your nose and mouth with a tissue when you cough or sneeze. Throw the tissue in the trash after you use it.
* Wash your hands often with soap and water, especially after you cough or sneeze. Alcohol-based hands cleaners are also effective.
* Try to avoid close contact with sick people.
* If you get sick, stay home from work or school and limit contact with others to keep from infecting them.
* Avoid touching your eyes, nose, or mouth. Germs spread that way.

Susan Boyle Cry Me a River CD

Britain's singing sensation Susan Boyle has become a Youtube Internet Celebrity overnight and has even appeared on a few American TV shows already.

THE Daily Record has uncovered the only CD ever made by Scotland’s singing
sensation Susan Boyle.

It emerged last night that Susan, whose Britain’s Got Talent triumph has made her an instant superstar, is being lined up for an appearance on the Oprah Winfrey show which would give her the chance of a number one album in the US.

But the Record can reveal she made her first recording back in 1999, when she sang blues ballad Cry Me A River for a charity CD.

Only 1000 copies of the disc were ever produced, but we’ve got hold of the long-forgotten recording and it’s now on our site. A showbiz insider said: “This is a real coup for the Record. The whole world would have wanted to find this.

“People will be scrambling to get their hands on this CD. They will be like gold dust soon.”
