Raffaele Sollecito, Amanda Knox to Reunite?

She was welcomed home by friends and family in Seattle this week. Will Amanda Knox reunite with boyfriend Raffaele Sollecito next? The two were dating at the time of Meredith Kercher’s 2007 slaying. Both were found guilty of murder in 2009, only to see their convictions overturned in a Perugia, Italy, courtroom Monday evening. What does the future hold for the pair? Amanda’s father, Curt, say she’s expecting to see Raffaele Sollecito soon. “I think Raffaele at some point in time will visit Seattle,” he told the UK’s Telegraph . “It will be very nice for them to actually see each other again.” Knox’s father was “not aware” if Amanda had reached out to Raffaele via phone since their releases. Sollecito was quoted as saying just after his release: “Amanda? Maybe I’ll see her again, but now I only want to be with my family.” Her homecoming was celebrated with pizza and wine earlier this week. Knox spent time with her 5-year-old cousins, who were 1 when she was jailed. Mostly, she slept in and enjoyed the sweet taste of freedom. While the ordeal is over, Judge Claudio Pratillo Hellmann had less-than-conclusive thoughts about Knox, painted in the Italian tabloids as “Foxy Knoxy.”

Catholic League Wants Madonna 86’d From Super Bowl

File this under Lost Causes: The Catholic League is calling on the NFL to ban Madonna from performing at the Super Bowl, which she recently agreed to do. Bill Donohue wrote to the NFL, saying they “would do well to drop any plans it may have about having Madonna perform during the Super Bowl .” Why? Because in 2004, the NFL invited ‘N Sync’s JC Chasez to sing during the halftime of the Pro Bowl, only to rescind the offer due to some suggestive lyrics. That was JC Chasez. This is Madonna. “The NFL cannot expect Catholics to be treated any different,” the group writes. “For decades, Madonna has blatantly offended Christians, especially Catholics.” “Her offensive lyrics, lewd behavior and misappropriation of sacred symbols are reason enough. Worse, Madonna has repeatedly ridiculed the heart and soul of Christianity: Jesus, Our Blessed Mother, the Eucharist and the Crucifixion.” She also hates hydrangeas . Don’t forget that.
