Kush Chronicles: Prosecutors Want Alleged Child Abusin’ Baller Adrian Peterson Arrested For Puffin’ Piff While On Bond

“You HAVE to stay OFF the weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee-duh !” -Stephen A. Smith Prosecutors Want Adrian Peterson Arrested For Smoking Pot On Bond According to TMZ reports : Prosecutors in Montgomery County, Texas, have filed paperwork to have Adrian Peterson’s bail revoked and the Minnesota Vikings running back re-arrested after he told a drug tester that he had recently smoked marijuana before taking a urinalysis test Wednesday. According to the filing signed by Bill Delmore, the Assistant District Attorney for the state of Texas, Peterson admitted to the worker that he had “smoked a little weed” before the test. Not taking any illegal drugs are common terms to adhere to when out on bond. “In light of this statement, and the fact that it was made during the urinalysis testing process, and the term ‘weed’ is a common slang term for marijuana, the state argues that the defendant has smoked marijuana while on bond,” the district attorney’s office wrote. Peterson has been free on $15,000 bond on a charge of felony child abuse. A trial has tentatively been set to begin Dec. 1. There cannot be any action on the bond revocation or any arrest warrant issued before a hearing is held on whether the judge hearing Peterson’s case should be recused. No hearing has been scheduled and likely won’t happen until next week at the earliest. You would think someone who is facing prison time and the loss of tens of millions of dollars would be livin’ as legal as possible… Image via WENN Continue reading

Tighten Up: In Light Of NFL’s Ray Rice Scandal Commissioner Adam Silver Announces Domestic Violence Review For NBA

The block is hot NBA Commissioner Adam Silver To Review Domestic Violence Policy Via CBSSports Adam Silver spoke with reporters at a charity event in Brooklyn to open a refurbished court damaged in Hurricane Sandy Monday, and discussed the recent events of controversy in sports, including saying the NBA would look to examine its domestic violence policy in light of the Ray Rice controversy that has plagued the NFL. NFL commissioner Roger Goodell has come under fire for the league’s investigation and response to Rice’s recorded assault of his then-fiancee. The firestorm over the incident put Goodell under scrutiny from media and social critics., and the Adrian Peterson alleged child abuse scandal has further rocked the league. Silver made it clear that the events have prompted a review of policies at the NBA’s offices. Meanwhile, Silver said in light of the NBA’s own most recent controversy involving the leaked scouting report read by Hawks GM Danny Ferry that resulted in his leave of absence, and an internal investigation by the team that lead to owner Bruce Levensen pledging to sell the team, that the NBA isn’t looking to go digging through the owners’ “closets.” Can’t blame him, the NBA has their own problems without adding domestic violence to the list.

Sugar Bear Responds to Mama June Cheating Allegations: Not Guilty!

In a new video interview, Sugar Bear Thompson is (somewhat) adamant: He hasn’t given his honey away to any woman he met on any online dating websites. As previously and tragically reported, June Shannon dumped Sugar Bear last week amidst rumors that he either cheated or planned on cheating by perusing a number of sites meant for singles. But the reality star was stopped (leaving McDonald’s, naturally) by Splash News Online cameras over the weekend and asked about rumors of his infidelity. You can watch the Sugar Bear response at TMZ, but the father of Alana Thompson remains mostly quiet while denying all charges. Regardless of the reason behind his split from Mama June, insiders confirm that Sugar Bear will remain a part of Here Comes Honey Boo Boo. He is still the main character’s biological father, after all, and producers want to avoid a Jon & Kate Plus 8 situation. They want to keep this family as close as possible so the series can remain on the air for many seasons to come. Here Comes Honey Boo Boo and Family 1. Reality TV Family This family is way more famous than you are. It’s just unclear why, exactly. What do you think? Do you believe Sugar Bear? Do you think he’s remained loyal to June Shannon? Probably, right? Almost definitely? Who would ever cheat on this?!?

Kim Kardashian on Disciplining North West: No Spanking!

Kim Kardashian’s ex Reggie Bush may have extreme views on disciplining his one-year-old daughter , but fortunately no such extreme methods (or “abuse,” if you prefer) will be employed when Kim’s daughter, North West, gets out of line. 20 Totally Adorable North West Photos 1. Morning, Kim and Nori! It’s Kim Kardashian and daughter Nori! The former posted this photo online with a simple caption: Good morning. “Kim and Kanye decided before North was born that there would be no spanking, ever,” says a source close to the family. “It’s not how they want to raise their daughter.” “As North gets older, and when she acts up, there will be time outs, taking away a favorite toy, but absolutely no physical discipline.” No big surprise there, of course. At just over a year old, North already has a gold toilet and $1 million in jewelry, so we’re guessing Kim and ‘Ye probably won’t turn out to be the harshest disciplinarians. Still in the wake of the Adrian Peterson child abuse scandal , it’s comforting to hear that there are famous parents who don’t think a “switch” is the answer to every behavioral issue. That’s right, NFL. Things have gotten so bad you’re making Kim Kardashian look like an ideal mother by comparison. Of course, Kim and Kanye will likely go to the other extreme and let their kid get away with murder, but then again, when North gets old enough, she’ll realize that her mom is the world’s best-paid porn star and her dad is mostly famous for being a jackass.  That’s gotta be punishment enough for anything she’ll do. 38 Kute and Kuddly Kimye Photos 1. Kim and Kanye on a Motorcycle Kim Kardashian sort of gets it on with Kanye West in this music video still. She’s topless!

Avril Lavigne and Chad Kroeger: Headed For Divorce?!

Avril Lavigne and husband Chad Kroeger, the guy from Nickelback, are reportedly headed for divorce. The couple married in 2013. So what’s going on? According to insiders, Chad “has been going around L.A. and telling people that they’re divorcing .” He is? Who does he tell this to, exactly, and in what context? It’s unclear, but the rumor was also fueled by the fact that Avril Lavigne deleted a tweet referencing the giant 17 carat ring she got from Chad a few months ago. He gifted her a big ass rock for the couple’s one-year wedding anniversary, after which she wrote, “I still can’t believe my 1 year anniversary gift.” “17 carat emerald cut. Wow. I love my hubby.” Maybe she just came around to finally believing the one-year anniversary gift, or doesn’t want to remind potential muggers that she wears that thing. That or she no longer loves her hubby. OMG. Moreover, an alleged friend of Avril Lavigne and Chad Kroeger reportedly said, “Chad is just a complete jerk in the way he talks to her, and the way he talks in general.” Nickelback haters are loving this right now. A third source cited by celebrity gossip magazine Us notes that despite all of this alleged evidence, “there’s no concrete timeline for divorce right now.” Well, that settles that … not.

Jameis Winston Suspended for Screaming Obscenities in Public, Will Sit for Entire Half

Jameis Winston has been suspended by Florida State University. For being a total moron, basically. The Heisman Trophy-winning quarterback will sit out the first half of this Saturday’s game against Clemson after he stood on a table in the student union and shouted: “F-ck her right in the pus-y!” The obscenity, which has grown into a viral trend in which idiots people heckle reporters with it during a live shot, was heard by a number of students, many of whom brought it to the administration’s attention via Twitter. “You can’t make certain statements that are derogatory or inflammatory to any person, race or gender. You have to understand that. You have to be very intelligent about what you say, [because] it matters,” said Head Coach Jimbo Fisher in announcing Winston’s punishment. Winston was accused in the past of raping a student, though no charges were filed against the star. He was also convicted of stealing crab legs earlier this year and, in 2013, he had the cops called on him for allegedly stealing soda from a Burger King. Sadly, he should fit right in to the NFL, where Adrian Peterson has been charged with child abuse and Ray Rice knocked his fiancee out cold inside an elevator. In a press conference this afternoon, Winston issued an apology to his coaches, school and teammates and called his actions “selfish, adding: “That’s not how you do things around here.” 14 Scandalous Sports Stories 1. LIAR! Lance Armstrong denied it and denied it, but he eventually came clean: yes, he cheated to win every Tour de France.

Adrian Peterson Accused of Abusing SECOND Son, Admits Via Text to Car "Whooping"

Adrian Peterson has been accused of child abuse for the second time in less than a week. According to a new report by KHOU, the Minnesota Vikings running back sent a different four-year old son back to his mother last June with a scar on his forehead. The station says Peterson sent the mother a text message that claimed the toddler smacked his head on a car seat… but when the boy’s mother pressed the issue, Peterson admitted to striking hitting the child. This story is developing. UPDATE: Sources tell TMZ that the the child accidentally hit his head on a car seat while being punished by Peterson, but Peterson did not directly hit the boy. KHOU has uncovered the actual text messages sent between Peterson and this woman. They read: Mother: “What happened to his head?” Peterson: “Hit his head on the Carseat.” Mother: “How does that happen, he got a whoopin in the car.” Peterson: “Yep.” Mother: “Why?” Peterson: “I felt so bad. But he did it his self.” In a subsequent text, Peterson told the mother that if the child had simply remained “still” and taken his “whooping,” he would not have hit his head. The Houston TV station reports the mother of the four-year-old filed a report with Child Protective Services, but no charges have been filed. Meanwhile, Peterson was arrested on charges of negligent or reckless injury to a child over the weekend. He admitted to the authorities that he “whooped” another four-year old child with a switch , text messaging that boy’s mother (who is a different woman than the original woman cited above) that he felt bad for going so far with his beating. The Vikings sat Peterson for yesterday’s game against the Patriots, but have reinstated him for next Sunday’s contest against the Saints. He issued a lengthy apology earlier today in which apologized for the latest incident, said he’s been seeing a psychologist and that he’s working to be a better father and person .
