Damn! WHAT is going on in professional sports these days? Texas Rangers’ Coach Steps Down, Rumors Of Sex Assault Surface Ron Washington, the coach of the Texas Rangers abruptly stepped down two weeks ago without any explanation. Now, he has finally addressed the media in a press conference, revealing an unspecified transgression of his wife’s trust — but insiders claim there are many more dark details to this story. Via MailOnline : The former coach of the Texas Rangers quit over allegations that he sexually assaulted a reporter, it was claimed today. Ron Washington is said to have stepped down before the claims come to light – as they are expected to in the coming weeks. The allegations were made by The Scoop, a Texas-based sports blog run by its founder Jamie Kelly, a former Fox Sports journalist. In her report Kelly said: ‘Washington’s sudden departure from the club was due to impending legal issues stemming from an alleged sexual assault of a reporter.’ She cited a ‘a source with knowledge of the situation’ but did not elaborate further in the short post. MailOnline understands that there are only a handful of female reporters who cover the Rangers full time. A spokeswoman for the North Texas District Attorney’s office, which covers the Dallas Fort Worth area, said she was ‘not aware’ of any investigation. However the victim may not yet have come forward and spoken to police, meaning that prosecutors would not have spoken to her yet. Kelly did not respond to repeated requests for comment. Texas Rangers manager Ron Washington broke his silence after abruptly resigning from the team two weeks ago by admitting he was unfaithful to his wife. Washington. who attended a Dallas news conference with his wife Gerry at his side, said: ‘I was not true to my wife after 42 years. I broke her trust. I’m here today to own that mistake and apologize to her and those I disappointed.’ ‘Today, I’m at a very low time in my life,’ said Washington as his wife Gerry, sat in a chair to the side of the podium with an attorney. ‘I’m sorry for breaking the trust that I had with my wife and for disappointing my players, for disappointing my coaches, for disappointing Major League Baseball and for disappointing the Texas Rangers. ‘All I ask is for your forgiveness and your understanding.’ ‘This matter is certainly personal, and we’re trying hard to put it behind us,’ said Washington. ‘I was born to be a baseball player; I’m a baseball lifer. ‘The Rangers gave me a home and I’m thankful for that, and also thankful for the experience to have the opportunity to manage here in Texas. I look to the future and getting back in the game and continuing my career.’ His resignation earlier this month took effect immediately, with bench coach Tim Bogar stepping up as interim manager for the remainder of the season. The New Orleans native had previously tested positive for cocaine during the 2009 season, and been subjected to random drug testing ever since, with then-team president Nolan Ryan deciding to keep him on as manager, even as he offered to leave the team. He said at the time in a statement: ‘I have submitted my resignation from the job I love – managing the Rangers – in order to devote my full attention to addressing an off-the-field personal matter.’ SMH!! We’ll keep you posted on the details of this as we find out more…
Along with the other stars of The Big Bang Theory , Kaley Cuoco is making major bucks. Like, never work again after the show ends and still be able to build a yacht out of your empty Cristal bottles bucks. Kaley signed a $90 million contract to star in three more seasons of TBBT , so naturally the topic of cash came up when she and the rest of the cast sat down for an interview with People magazine ahead of the show’s upcoming eighth season. Based on their comments, it seems that even though they’re pulling in Two and a Half Men money these days, none of the core members of the Geek Squad have transformed into rock star warlocks from Mars yet: “You learn who to talk to where to go and how to act,” says Kaley. “If you don’t want to be photographed, don’t go to The Ivy, and where undergarments when you go out!” Sound advice, but there’s an irony in Kaley giving tips on how to avoid the paparazzi, in that by her own admission, it was Kaley’s relationship with Henry Cavill (and the fact that they were papped every time they left the house) that took her from sitcom supporting player to beloved Web celebrity. These days, of course, Kaley is married to Ryan Sweeting who had the good fortune to put a ring on it just months before Kaley inked her record-breaking contract. So is ex-tennis pro Ryan just a lucky, loving husband, or a shameless, gold-digging opportunist? We may never know for sure, but one thing is certain – these days Kaley’s private life is far more interesting than anything going on in Leonard and Sheldon’s apartment. 33 Hottest Pics of Kaley Cuoco 1.

So… are The Mysteries of Laura worth taking the time to solve? NBC offered up a special presentation of Debra Messing’s new drama last night, which featured the former Will and Grace star as Laura Diamond, teased by the network as one bad mutha, putting criminals away during the day and dealing with two crazed twins at night. Unfortunately, The Mysteries of Laura Season 1 Episode 1 painted this character instead as simply one bad mother. Watch The Mysteries of Laura Season 1 Episode 1 Online The tone shifted often on the pilot, with its opening few minutes depicting Messing’s law enforcement officer shooting off a criminal’s eat and then going home to find her sons peeing all over each other. (At least they inherited their mom’s good aim!) Then there’s Laura’s estranged husband, Jake, played by Josh Lucas. He has a history of indiscretions and can’t exactly be trusted, but he won’t sign the couple’s divorce papers, either. So Laura will be stuck with Jake at home AND at work because a twist ending (we won’t give it totally away here if you wish to watch The Mysteries of Laura online and see it for yourself) causes Jake to also become Laura’s new boss at work. AWKWARD! The whole show is a bit awkward, really, neither overly dramatic or funny. It doesn’t really know what it is. It also drives home the annoying stereotype that it’s just SOOOO tough for women to work and also act as mothers. Can’t we be done with this already? What did you think of The Mysteries of Laura premiere? Will you keep watching? Hand out a grade below: A B C D F View Poll »
Damn homie…if it ain’t one thing it’s the next. Rob Ford Diagnosed With Cancer Known in The States primarily for his crack-rock antics , Mayor Rob Ford has hit yet another rough patch in his health. Fresh out of a stint in rehab , instead of struggling with addiction, this time around he’s grappling with cancer. Via The Sun News Network : Mayor Rob Ford is now facing the fight of his life with a rare form of cancer. Dr. Zane Cohen, the head of Ford’s clinical care team, revealed the grim diagnosis of pleomorphic liposarcoma on Wednesday at Mount Sinai Hospital. The cancer news came just days after Ford bowed out of the mayor’s race and less than three months after he returned from rehab for alcohol and drugs, vowing to turn his life around. With Ford’s permission, Cohen confirmed that the 12-cm by 12-cm abdominal tumour discovered last week is a malignant liposarcoma. Doctors have also found a small nodule that is part of the same tumour on his buttock behind his left hip. “We think it is a fairly aggressive tumour mainly because these types of tumours are often slow-growing, to get to the size that it is now it is often several years,” Cohen told reporters. “But we are treating this very aggressively in order to eradicate the tumour.” There was no sign of the tumour in 2011 when Ford underwent medical tests, he added. Cohen said the soft-tissue cancer is not within an organ, and described it as a “very rare tumour” and “very difficult.” Terrible news! Hopefully he’ll be able to recover from this and FINALLY get his life together.

Baltimore Police Officer Falsifies Report To Justify Attack On Citizen Imagine how this case could have gone without surveillance! Via ABCnews : A South Baltimore man Monday filed charges against a Baltimore police officer for what attorneys are calling a clear case of police brutality, captured on a police surveillance camera. Kollin Truss, the defendant, was arrested on June 15 after an altercation with a city police officer. Truss, 32, was charged with assaulting Officer Vincent Cosom and Stephanie Coleman, identified in court records as Truss’ then-girlfriend. Cosom noted in his police report that Truss was loitering outside of a liquor store in the 500 block of E. North Ave. at about 1:40 a.m. Cosom wrote that he asked Truss to leave. Truss then walked into the store and shouted an obscenity and a threat at the police officer, according to Cosom’s account of the incident. Truss and Coleman left the liquor store and started walking across the street to a bus stop. Cosom said he observed Truss push her three times, according to the report. “When they got to the corner of Greenmount and North Ave they began to argue again drawing a large crowd around them,” Cosom wrote. “While I was crossing the street at 500 E North Ave. to stop [the] argument I observed the unknown black male pushed [sic] the female with open hands three times. “At this time I went to place the male under arrest he got into a fighting stance and clenched his first. Me and the male got into a physical altercation due to me [sic] in fear for my safety and I received a punch to the body,” Cosom continued in the report, transcribed verbatim. Truss was arrested, although his assault and resisting arrest charges were later dropped. Peep the full video of the incident here: Hmmm…did ANY of the things the officer alleged happen in that video? SMH. We hope he gets every dime he’s suing for!

Daniele Watts took to Facebook late last week in outrage after she was detailed on suspicion of prostitution for showing affection to her boyfriend after police caught the two in an intimate embrace. Watts is African-American and her boyfriend, celebrity chef Brian James Lucas, is white. “Today I was handcuffed and detained by 2 police officers from the Studio City Police Department after refusing to agree that I had done something wrong by showing affection, fully clothed, in a public place,” the actress, who stars as Martin Lawrence’s daughter on FX’s Partners, wrote on Facebook Thursday. According to the official police statement, “patrol officers from North Hollywood Division responded to a radio call of indecent exposure” at the time and happened upon “two individuals that matched the description of the suspects.” Authorities say the suspects “were briefly detained” and “upon further investigation it was determined that no crime had been committed. Ms. Watts and her companion were subsequently released.” Lucas also sounded off on the incident in his own Facebook post Friday. He believes race played a key factor. “From the questions that he asked me as D was already on her phone with her dad, I could tell that whoever called on us (including the officers), saw a tatted RAWKer white boy and a hot bootie shorted black girl and thought we were a HO (prostitute) & a TRICK (client),” Lucas wrote. “So they handcuffed her and threw her roughly into the back of the cop car until they could figure out who she was. In the process of handcuffing her, they cut her wrist, which was truly NOT COOL!!! Of course, they had to let her go eventually cuz we weren’t a threat to anyone.” Watts, who also played a role in Django Unchained, did not give the officers her ID when asked because “they had no right” to ask, Lucas said. An internal complaint investigation has been initiated regarding this matter, according to The Los Angeles Police Department.
