TRAGEDY! American basketball player dies after savage beating - over a girl - in Romanian bar

An American basketball player has died after he was severely beaten in Romanian bar during a dispute over a girl.
Former Sacred Heart guard Chauncey Hardy died yesterday after suffering two heart attacks following the beating on Saturday night.

The Mediafax news agency reported that Ionut Adrian Tanasoaia attacked Mr Hardy because he wanted to dance with Tanasoaia's girlfriend.

Hardy, 23, had severe head injuries and was in a coma when he was admitted to the hospital.
Hardy died shortly after undergoing surgery in a Bucharest hospital.
Tanasoaia turned himself in to police on Monday.
Hardy played for CSS Giurgiu in southern Romania and was celebrating a victory over rival Dinamo Bucharest in Giurgiu when several men were reported to have attacked him.

'We are deeply saddened by the loss of a fine young man who had his life cut short at such a young age while he was overseas doing something he loved,' Sacred Heart Athletic Director C. Donald Cook said in a statement.
'This is a terrible tragedy and we are saddened as a University and a basketball program,' Sacred Heart men's basketball coach Dave Bike said in a statement.

'This is not just about a basketball player, but the person as well. It transcends what happens on a basketball court. We feel tremendous sadness and loss for Chauncey's family and those who were close to him.'

Hardy averaged 12.5 points for Sacred Heart in 2009-10.

Rihanna touches down in UK after 24 hour stay in Barbados for a funeral... and gives concert the same evening!

It can sometimes be difficult juggling one's personal life with the day job.
And finding the balance can be even tougher when you're an international superstar with tour commitments.
But 23-year-old Rihanna proved that she in a friend in need when she rushed home to Barbados to attend a funeral, hopping on a private jet back to England only hours later so a not to miss the Manchester stop of her LOUD tour.

She was unusually low-key and covered-up as she arrived in Manchester late yesterday afternoon, still dressed all in black and protecting her head from the rain with a brown blanket.

The OK! magazine columnist tweeted later that night: 'At Rhianna concert and Calvin Harris has kicked the night off!!! MEN is bouncing!!! love it.'

The funeral service in Barbados at the weekend took place at St. Lucy Parish Church, according to local paper The Nation.
Rihanna was attending the funeral of Waldric Goodridge, 56, in support of her friend Leandra Goodridge.
The Grammy Award winner was much more conservative in her attire than usual, pairing a semi see-through black top with a knee length black skirt, polka dot stockings and black patent heels.

Rihanna was pictured arriving for the memorial with her mother, Monica Fenty, and several close friends.
The singer has been reserved about the occasion, tweeting '#Rough' on the day but giving no further details about her brief sojourn.
Only hours later she tweeted: 'Back to the UK!!! #takeoff'.
Rihanna stopped in London from only a few days ago and even took the Underground to travel along with some lucky fans to her concert at the O2 Arena.
The laid back star happily posed for pictures as she squeezed into a crowded subway train.
En route to the show, one fan Giselle Green told the Mail Online: 'I was in Rihanna's carriage on the Jubilee line.

'I didn't really twig at first because you wouldn't expect to see a superstar travelling so casually on the tube.
'And she was due on stage in a couple of hours! But then me and my friend realised it WAS her.
Rihanna kicked off the European leg of her tour in August and has already performed in Finland, Norway and Northern Ireland.

Kelly Rowland Covers Cosmopolitan UK November 2011

As she readies for the November 7th release of "Here I Am" in the UK, Kelly Rowland got a jumpstart on promotions by gracing the cover of the November 2011 issue of Cosmopolitan UK.

The former Destiny's Child singer showed off her fit and fine figure in a sizzling spread while opening up to the magazine about topics ranging from her estranged father to her breast enhancement procedure.

Highlights from Kelly's interview are as follows. For more, be sure to visit Cosmopolitan UK!

On her feelings towards her estranged father:
“I haven’t seen my dad for almost 20 years. It’s nothing I want a pity party for. He left me and my mum, and I was angry. I wanted to be a daddy’s girl so bad. God damn The Cosby Show because that made me think ‘Why aren’t my family like that?’ But this is not a perfect world”.

On getting a boob job:
“I said in an interview a long time ago that I’d get it done because I just had little nuggets for boobs and it was bothering me. The decision was 10 years in the making so I’m comfortable talking about it. It’s something I really wanted to do for myself – not for a man, not for work, for myself… and I love them”.

On why she broke off her engagement to American footballer Roy Williams in 2005 when she was 24:
“I was too young for marriage. I remember my sister B [Beyonce] asked me one question: she said, ‘Well, you know what you want now, don’t you?’ and I was like ‘Yes’. It was so hard and embarrassing because everyone knew. I’d posed for the front cover of a magazine in my wedding dress and it was on sale! But sometimes you fall down and you learn from it”.

FABU KELLY!

Centino Kemp taunts Eddie Long's on Twitter….LOL

A few days ago news broke that Eddie Long wants his money back from 3 of his 5 accusers. Under the settlement, all of the men agreed to not talk to press or mention the situation any further. Well, since they have since then been doing interviews and have plans for a tell all book...yeah, you get the picture. This is how Centino Kemp reacted to news of the bishop's refund request:

I hope that boy was talking about voice lessons and a stylist..cause he needs a lot of work in both areas if he is serious about being a singer. Or, is he hinting that he's going to get gender re-assignment surgery? Hmm... I wish these boys would just move on. They got the money they wanted. Now, go on and do all the things you had planned to do when you got it.

Your Thoughts???

Monday Night Football Has a New Voice: Barry Sanders

*After the Monday Night Football guy – Hank Williams Jr. - got fired, who could we expect to perform the nation’s favorite weeknight event?

CBSSports.com’s Will Brinson listed 10 acts that might replace Williams, although it appears that ESPN will be going in a different, less musical direction, at least for the rest of the 2011 season.
On Monday night before the Chicago Bears-Detroit Lions game, former Lions running back and NFL Hall of Famer Barry Sanders will announce the classic line, “Are you ready for football?” Sanders, by the way, told the world on Twitter.

ESPN spokesman Josh Krulewitz said that, “This is the format we’ll likely use the remainder of the season. We haven’t made any decisions beyond that.”
And it looks like Sanders has won over any competition, with fans and critics welcoming the former star back to Monday night football.

Michael David Smith wrote earlier Friday, “Regardless of what you think of Williams’ comments and ESPN’s response to those comments, we can all agree on this: There’s no one better than Barry Sanders to welcome America to football in Detroit.”

As far as Hank Williams being fired goes…well, Bill Maher Defends Hank Williams Jr.’s Hitler

*The not so politically correct Bill Maher took a stand against ESPN for the firing of country singer Hank Williams Jr., who compared President Obama to Adolf Hitler.
Just for a little background, Maher was fired by the same corporation owns ESPN, ABC, after the controversial talk show host made some offensive 9/11 comments. So he knows exactly what it feels like to be censored by the network. He even joked that referring to President Obama as Hitler on Fox News used to be called “The Glenn Beck Show.” But even though he said he hated Williams’ comment, he maintained that ESPN was wrong for firing the singer because censorship should not exist.

Further in his review of Williams’ music, he quoted one of his songs called “If the South Woulda Won”:
- “The day Elvis passed away would be our national holiday.”
- “I’d make my Supreme Court down in Texas.”
- “I’d have all the cars made in the Carolinas, and I’d ban all the ones made in China.”

But something was missing he thought. Panelist (former congressman) Alan Grayson said President Obama wouldn’t have been president. Maher went further and said, “He would not be free.” Whatever the f*ck that meant!

ROYAL CAT FIGHT??? Princess Beatrice Snubs Princess of Thailand

All princesses are not created equal as proven by Princess Beatrice after she rudely rebuffed an invitation to meet the Princess of Thailand while they both sat front row for Elie Saab during Paris Fashion Week.
It is a country where insulting the King is a crime that can land you in jail so perhaps the Thai princess who approached Princess Beatrice at Paris Fashion Week was not expecting such a firm rebuttal.

However, when Princess Sirivannavari Nariratana approached the fellow royal she was unceremoniously stopped by a close protection officer.

To the surprise of the fashionistas lining the front row, after the 24-year-old Thai explained herself but was told by Beatrice’s guard: “She don’t want to meet no princesses. She’s sitting here, not getting up.”

The Asian princess was not amused and was seen to turn on her heel, saying: “Is that the sort of Princess you've got?”

Despite her indignation, the two royals did not meet nor, it is assumed, are they likely to meet happily in future.

The public scene took place at the start of the show by the Lebanese designer, Elie Saab. Princess Sirivannavari is a keen follower of fashion and the Saab show was her fifth at Paris Fashion Week alone.

A spokeswoman for Princess Beatrice said: "The princess's visit to Paris was in a personal capacity. We do not comment on security issues."

Princess Sirivannavari could not be contacted last night.

AND FINALLY FROM “THE CRAZY PEOPLE SHOPPING AT WALMART” FILES
