Aaron Hernandez: Late NFL Star Suffered "Severe CTE," Autopsy Reveals

It’s quite possible that there’s no more tragic story in the history of professional football than that of Aaron Hernandez. Back in 2015, Hernandez was convicted of first-degree murder in connection with the death of Odin Lloyd. In April, the world was shocked by the news that Hernandez had taken his own life inside his cell at the Souza-Barankowski Correctional Facility in Lancaster, Massachusetts. Today, Hernandez’s autopsy results have been made public, and they confirm what many who followed his case closely have long suspected. Doctors have revealed to The New York Times that the 27-year-old was suffering from CTE, a brain injury that’s shockingly common to football players. According to the Times a team of neurologists stated that their examination revealed “the most severe case they had ever seen in someone of Aaron’s age.”  Sadly, the news does not come as much of a surprise. CTE has had devastating effects on innumerable football players, both professional and otherwise. The condition has been linked to the suicides of Junior Seau  and Tyler Sash, the decline of late New York Giants legend Frank Gifford, and countless other NFL stars. It seems impossible that we’ll ever understand the full impact of the disease on America’s best-loved sport. But today, we know a little bit more about the devastating impact it’s had on Aaron Hernandez, Odin Lloyd, and their loved ones. Now, Hernandez’s fiancee, Shayanna Jenkins, is suing the NFL and the New England Patriots as a result of the diagnosis. Lawyers for Jenkins claim “Aaron had stage 3 CTE usually seen in players with a median age of death of 67 years.” The suit filed this afternoon claims that the Patriots “were fully aware of the damage that could be inflicted from repetitive impact injuries and failed to disclose, treat or protect him from the dangers of such damage.” Attorneys say that Jenkins, who has a 4-year-old daughter with Hernandez, is seeking “redress for the loss of parental consortium she has experienced based on the negligent conduct of Defendants that deprived her of the companionship and society of her father, Aaron Hernandez.” The suit concludes by stating bluntly: “On April 19, 2017, Aaron succumbed to the symptoms of CTE and committed suicide.” We’ll have further updates on this developing story as more information becomes available.

Aaron Hernandez: High on Drugs at Time of Suicide?

It’s been one week since former New England Patriots tight end and convicted murderer Aaron Hernandez was found dead in his cell at Souza-Baranowski Correctional Center in Lancaster, Massachusetts. While certain key questions about Hernandez’s suicide have been answered by the ensuing investigation, many more have arisen. Most of those questions concern Hernandez’s mindset in the moments before he decided to hang himself hang himself with a bed sheet. Curiously, the suicide happened just days after Hernandez was acquitted on double murder charges. He was already serving a life sentence without the possibility of parole at the time of the verdict, but there was hope amongst Hernandez’s attorneys that the acquittal would improve his chances of being found not guilty on appeal. Much of the speculation about Hernandez’s final days has centered around his alleged prison love affair with Kyle Kennedy , a fellow inmate at Souza-Baranowski. Sources say Hernandez was devastated when his request to share a cell with Kennedy was denied, and in his already-fragile emotional state, the news was more than he could take. Now, a new factor in the 27-year-old’s tragic decision may have emerged thanks to a Newsweek report that claims Hernandez was high on synthetic marijuana at the time of his death. According to the report, medical investigators found evidence of the drug known as K2 in Hernandez’s system during a kidney fluid screen. It may seem unlikely that marijuana would cause someone to take their own life, but in many cases, synthetic substitutes are marijuana in name only. It’s also been speculated that Hernandez may have experienced highly unusual reactions to THC and other drugs due to the presence of CTE or other brain injuries incurred on the playing field. At one point, his attorneys planned to argue in court that past violent incidents had been prompted by Hernandez’s marijuana use.  Officials suspect that a liquid version of K2 was smuggled into the prison by an associate of Hernandez’s. An investigation has been launched into how the contraband wound up in his cell. Prison authorities say the drug is notoriously difficult to intercept, as such a small amount is needed to get high that it can be sent undetected through the mail. Officials may never found out how the drug ended up in Hernandez’s possession or whether it played a role in his decision to commit suicide, but the fact that he was under the influence is just one more strange detail in an increasingly macabre case.

Blac Chyna and Rob Kardashian: Panicked Over Pregnancy Crisis!

This may be Blac Chyna’s second pregnancy, but this time around, it’s very public. “Blac Chyna is going through hell as she enters the final trimester of her pregnancy,” a source told Radar Online . “She never knew it would be this uncomfortable and is really struggling.” As Chyna and fiance Rob Kardashian continue to film their controversy-riddled reality show, Rob & Chyna, the 28-year-old’s health is suffering as a result. “The never-ending nausea, heartburn, cramps and gas are one thing,” the source said, but “Rob and her family are extremely worried — her blood pressure is higher than it should be and isn’t helped by her terrible diet.” What’s odd is that Chyna initially attracted fans because she got Kardashian on a healthy regimen, which included freshly prepared meals (which she Snapchatted) and workouts. “What’s even harder for Chyna are the mood swings,” the source added. “She’s all over the place, crying non-stop then flying off the handle for no reason.” Kardashian doesn’t really know how to appease Chyna, so the couple are  “looking into having the baby induced ahead of schedule, by C-section.” This is on top of the couple’s already stressful situation, brought on by Kardashian’s disinterest in filming their very lucrative show. View Slideshow: Blac Chyna Pregnant News: The Internet Reacts! Kardashian is growing resentful of Chyna , according to Heat Magazine. “He’ll say he’s going to show up to shoot a scene and then go missing,” a source told the tabloid. And while it used to be Chyna who could cheer him up, now he’s started to see her as the enemy. “On his bad days he calls her a gold digger and he’s paranoid that the only reason she’s with him is to make a name for herself. “He says she’s blown all his money in less than a year, and that’s why he had no choice but to do the show, but now they fight over every aspect of it.” Are they on the verge of a break-up?

Kim Kardashian Praises Brother: He’ll Be the Best Dad!

Rob Kardashian isn’t the only member of his family excited about the prospect of fatherhood. A day after Rob gushed over Blac Chyna and the “beautiful” baby his fiancee will give birth to later this year, Kim Kardashian was asked about her once-estranged sibling. Those who watch Keeping Up with the Kardashians online are surely aware that Kim once slammed Rob for having “no loyalty.” And now he’s set to marry one of his family’s chief rivals. No way could Kim be happy for him, right? WRONG. “It’s so exciting. It’s a really exciting time for him,” Kim told Entertainment Tonight at a party in Cannes on Thursday. She added:  “I think he’ll be the best dad. He’s really just such a good, good person.” Kardashian was in France to help celebrate the Cannes Film Festival, but don’t worry: She is not acting in any of the movies being shown there. Rob and Blac Chyna stunned the galaxy when they announced their pregnancy earlier this month, just a few weeks after getting engaged in April. This will be the reality star’s first child and the model’s second child; she has a three-year-old son named King Cairo with Tyga. So, are Kim and husband Kanye West passing on parenting advice to first-time-dad-to-be? “We give him – I think more me – gives him advice and it’s just been a really fun time,” Kardashian, a mother of two, replied. “I’m really happy for them. View Slideshow: Blac Chyna Pregnant News: The Internet Reacts! Okay, fine. Great. Whatever. Enough with the baby talk. Let’s focus on what’s important: Kim’s weight!!!! She has finally achieved her weight loss goal, right ? “I have a few pounds still to go, but I want to be before pre-baby, like five years ago,” she explained. “In that, I still have 15 to go. But I’m happy and I feel confident and very happy.” Phew. We were really concerned there for a little while. View Slideshow: Kim Kardashian Nude Selfies: A Birthday Suit Breakdown

Blac Chyna: FORCES Party Guests to Download Her App for Entrance!

I guess it’s not that steep of a cover charge if you think about it. Still, guests who attended Blac Chyna’s birthday party last night were left with a bad taste in their mouth after hearing about the entrance fee. According to Radar, attendees were required to download Blac’s new CHYmoji app in order to gain entrance to the shindig, which was held at the Hard Rock Cafe in Hollywood, Calif. “Please download the CHYmoji app before you arrive and show the attendant the icon on your phone when you check in to the event,” read the instructions on the invitation, reports the site. Chyna’s new emoji app debuted this week at number one on the App Store and is available for $1.99. “It was absolutely ridiculous,” complained one party-goer. “People were being turned away because they did not have her app downloaded to their phones and not everyone has iPhones!  “One guest’s phone was dead, and they almost didn’t let him in!” Listen, I’ve been to those Hollywood clubs and have seen bouncers turn people away for a lot less than that. Nevertheless, this just adds fuel to the rumors that Blac is a money-hungry fame monger who got knocked up by Rob Kardashian  to cash in on his family’s fortune. Earlier this week, we reported that the model filed papers to trademark the name “Angela Kardashian.” (Blac’s real name is Angela White.) She reportedly intends to use the name  for “entertainment services, namely live television and movie appearances,” as well as “living as a social media celebrity, model, actress, and performer.” What will happen to Blac Chyna? Should she have thought about that before releasing CHYmoji?  Because ANGmoji just doesn’t have the same ring to it. View Slideshow: Blac Chyna Pregnant News: The Internet Reacts!

13 Terrible Celebrity Moms You Can Be Glad Aren’t Yours

Hollywood has produced a long list of great mothers, to be sure. These women are not on it, though. No sir, no ma'am. No way. Think we're being too harsh, or maybe not giving them a chance? We beg to differ. Scroll through this slideshow of the worst this town has to offer and try to decide not whether everyone on it is a terrible mom … … but who is the worst of the worst. The competition is stiff. In honor of Mother's Day, let's look at the contenders! 1. Kate Gosselin Kate Gosselin has eight children. And given her non-stop string of questionable behavior and shameless antics, we feel sorry for each and every one of them. Sorry, we’re not buying the “working mom” bit … there are ways to work and put food on the table while still being a more tolerable human being who sets a better example. Jon is not exactly a prize himself but let’s be real. 2. Kris Jenner Kris Jenner is sort of evil. Okay, more than sort of. She likes using her kids to make a lot of money. There’s a reason they call her the Momager, and why she is trying to trademark the term Momager … and why the Kardashian and Jenner children act the way they do, with the priorities they seem to embody. 3. Dina Lohan Dina Lohan is responsible for Lindsay Lohan. What else needs to be said? Well, this: Dina Lohan is a wannabe Momager … sort of like a less shrewd, less intelligent, substance abuse-ravaged version of Kris Jenner. 4. Jenelle Evans Jenelle Evans, mother to two sons, only has custody of one of them because of her train wreck past, and while many young moms turn things around, she continues to rack up arrests – 15, at least, by our count – to this day, and remains as unstable as when she first burst onto the Teen Mom 2 scene. If not more so. 5. Farrah Abraham Farrah Abraham has starred in a sex tape AND brought a life into the world. Not many women can say that … well, actually a decent number of celebrities can these days. But Farrah has taken it to a new level, not just with her porn career, but with the associated lies she tells about it, and the way she conducts herself on a daily basis, including with regards to Sophia, her daughter. Her poor, innocent daughter. 6. Nadya Suleman Nadya Suleman is best known as the Octomom, because she had eight kids at one time. And boy do they look happy at this party. But it should be the SUCK-tomom, because she already had six children she couldn’t support before she had eight more implanted inside her clown car uterus by a shady doctor to a total of 14. Which she can’t support and occasionally commits welfare fraud on behalf of. While being an embarrassment to America and humanity as a whole. We could go on. View Slideshow

This Girl Will Never Use a Power Drill to Eat Corn Again

We've seen some pretty crazy Internet trends over the past several years. For example, remember the Kylie Jenner Lip Challenge ? But sticking one's mouth over the opening of a small bottle in order swell up one's lips to resemble those of Kylie Jenner actually seems like an award-winning idea when compared to the latest Internet trend. It involves a piece of corn on the cob… a power drill… and some not very intelligent people. Sorry. We hate to pass judgment like that. But this entire challenge involve placing a piece of corn on the cob on a power drill, actually turning on said power drill and then using it to eat the corn as quickly as possible. Sometimes, it works and one eats the corn in 10 seconds . And the reward this person then gets is…. a bunch of video hits? Hooray, we guess? Conversely, eating corn on the cob with a power drill can be very dangerous (SHOCKER, we know), as evidenced by the video below. It features a young woman who takes this challenge, who gets a few bites in… and then who immediately regrets it. She'll be fine in the end. But she may need to get used to a new look for awhile. Watch to see what we mean:

Rob Kardashian and Blac Chyna "Have No Chemistry," Claims Source

This is like something out of a dime store novel. Then again, this is a Kardashian we’re talking about. In case you were on a remote island (in which case, good for you), then you’re likely aware that Rob Kardashian and Blac Chyna are expecting their first child together. Oh, and they’ve been dating for about four months. In fact, when Kardashian and Jenner were taping for season 12 of Keeping Up With The Kardashians  in January, they “ got into a huge argument while filming,” a family source told Radar Online . “He confessed that he and Blac were trying for a baby, and Kris lost it.” The Kardashian women think Chyna “has an agenda,” the source added. “They think it’s her life plan to have a baby with a rich man. She already did it once before.” Chyna has a three-year-old son, King Cairo with her ex-boyfriend, Tyga, who happens to be dating Kardashian’s younger sister, Kylie Jenner. The source squealed that Jenner and her daughters think the relationship is a complete farce, and the couple are merely doing this to upset the family. “Blac and Rob have no chemistry whatsoever. She doesn’t even seem to like him,” the source claims. View Slideshow: Blac Chyna Pregnant News: The Internet Reacts! “Kris and the girls know she’s after one thing — the family fortune.” According to TMZ , Chyna is actually going after the family name. Born Angela Renee White, Chyna filed legal documents to change her name to “Angela Renee Kardashian.” The reason? Other than the fact that she’ll soon marry one, Chyna wants to use the name for “entertainment services, television and movie appearances, living as a ‘social media celebrity,’ and party hosting,” reports the site. And while ideally, a family would be thrilled to see their name live on, this is not the case for the reality stars. Welp, Kardashian could care less.  In fact, he toasted his baby mama on Mother’s Day. “I fell in Love with her immediately because of how great of a mom she is and now I’m looking forward to starting a Family with her!” Kardashian wrote.

Meri Brown Breaks Down to Kody Over Catfishing Scandal: I Was Angry at You!

In a preview clip for the season premiere of Sister Wives, Kody Brown confronts Meri Brown on why she engaged in an online affair last year. If you recall, Meri was the victim of a catfishing scandal in which she had a relationship with a woman named Jackie Overton who had been posing as a man. In the clip, Kody accuses Meri of wanting out of their relationship. “You didn't want to be out of the family, you just wanted to be out of your relationship with me,” he tells her. A contemplative Meri finally opens up. “Kody, this person got so far into my head that I didn't know what end was up sometimes,” she reveals. “And I'm still trying to get her out of there.” But Kody still prods her. “You seemed so angry, I didn't feel like I could get to you,” he says. “I didn't feel like we could talk.” Meri finally breaks down and admits that she did harbor animosity toward him. “There were times I was angry at you, Kody. I'm not going to lie,” she confesses. “Because, if you and I had taken better care of our relationship, then I wouldn't have been in such a vulnerable place and I would have been open to other friendships that wouldn't lead to this kind of deception and evil,” she continues. “So I was angry at you for not being there for me.” While Meri may want to put this humiliation behind her, Overton revealed earlier this year that she would be releasing “sexually graphic” voicemails and photos from their relationship. Meri first opened up about the affair to her family last year on the Sister Wives reunion. “At the time it seemed so vague,” Kody said at the time. “I didn’t want to push her … she hasn’t felt well, hasn’t seemed like herself for a long time,” he lamented. Sister Wives premieres Sunday at 8 p.m. ET on TLC.
