Tracy Morgan Sues Wal-Mart for “Negligent” Role in Fatal Car Crash, Returns Home

Tracy Morgan, still recuperating from injuries suffered in a horrific car accident last month, has filed a lawsuit against Wal-Mart. The crash took place on June 7 and also took the life of Morgan’s good friend, Jimmy McNair, who was riding with the comedian and others in a limo on the way home from a show in Delaware. Wal-Mart driver Kevin Roper had allegedly been awake for over 24 hours when he lost control of his vehicle, leading to a six-car pile-up. 11 Uproarious Tracy Jordan Quotes 1. Tracy on intelligence: “You’re even dumber than I look!” The legal papers were filed in the U.S. District Court in New Jersey on behalf of Morgan, McNair’s widow and comedian Ardie Fuqua and Morgan’s assistant Jeffrey Millea (also injured in the crash). They state that “Wal-Mart was careless and negligent in the ownership and operation of its motor vehicle, which caused Mr. Morgan to suffer severe personal injuries.” The complaint continues: “As a direct and proximate result of said collision, Mr. Morgan was caused to sustain severe painful bodily injuries, including but not limited to multiple fractures which required multiple surgeries, extensive medical treatment and will require significant physical rehabilitation.” Tracy Morgan: On the Mend The suit alleges that “Wal-Mart knew, or should have known” that Roper – who was later charged for his role in the incident – was “awake for more than 24 consecutive hours” prior to the collision. Morgan is out of the hospital and in a rehab center, where sources say he’s showing “signs of improvement.” In an earlier statement, Wal-Mart said “we are deeply sorry that one of our trucks was involved,” adding, “We’re committed to doing the right thing for all involved.” UPDATE : Morgan is on his way home to complete his recovery.

Selena Gomez Posts Sexy Instagram Photo From Paris, Drinks Wine

Selena Gomez looks sexier than ever in her latest Instagram snapshot from Paris, sitting on a windowsill in a white gown and showing some cleavage. Check out the image and her sultry, “Come & Get It” look … Selena’s also drinking a glass of white wine – she’s 21, and the drinking age in France is 18 anyway, so no thing there – as she sizzles in this artsy shot. Just before this, she posted another pic of herself walking up the stairs to the Crazy Horse nightclub in what was surely a fun- and dance-filled night. Gomez captioned one pic, “Je t’aime” and another simply “Paris.” If she’s at all worried about Justin Bieber and Ariana Grande , she’s not showing it. If anything, she’s having the time of her life and showing him what he’s missing.

In a dramatic new video, Matt Cordle gets right to the point: He killed a man in a drunk-driving accident this June. The 22-year old says those exact words in a video he posted September 3, saying he “takes full responsibility” for the actions that took 61-year old Vincent Canzani’s life a few months ago. Man Admits to Vehicular Homicide Already a suspect for the incident – which took place on June 22 and which Cordle admits took place after a night of heavy drinking with friends – Cordle has not yet been charged with any crime, but says he is prepared to face whatever legal consequences come his way. “I can’t bring Mr. Canzani back, and I can’t erase what I’ve done, but you can still be saved, your victims can still be saved,” Cordle says as a warning to others, adding that he will plead guilty whenever charges do get pressed against him. Canzani was driving a Jeep around 3 a.m. on the day in question. According to The Columbus Dispatch story the day afterward, which did not name Cordle, Canzani was struck by a wrong-way driver on I-670 near Columbus and pronounced dead at the scene.
