Terrell Owens Explains Why He’s Skipping Hall Of Fame Ceremony

Source: Brian To/WENN.com / WENN Despite what one may have thought about some of the antics over the course of Terrell Owens ‘ football career, no one can argue that he was one of the best wide receivers to ever lace them up. Owens has famously decided to skip his upcoming Hall Of Fame induction , and explained why he’s doing so. TMZ Sports reports : We got T.O. out at Century City Mall when he revealed to us the real reason he’s doing his own thing at UT Chattanooga rather than in Ohio … saying he doesn’t feel it was right he was kept outta the Hall the past two years. “In terms of the criteria, the bylaws and what it takes for a guy to get in — when it came to me, other things came into play,” Owens says. “And for me, that doesn’t bode well for me.” Owens tell us that reporters lied about his character throughout his career … which he feels led to him being unfairly locked out of the HOF on his first two attempts. The enshrinement ceremony will take place on August 4. — Photo: WENN

Coming Soon: An Abby Sunderland Reality Show?

The world agrees: thank goodness Abby Sunderland is safe and sound . Following the rescue of this 16-year old sailor, though, a new debate has emerged: were her parents irresponsible for allowing her to sail around the globe in the first place? If you’re of the opinion that Abby’s parents should never have let their teenage child embark on such a dangerous mission, the following piece of news won’t exactly change your mind about Mr. and Mrs. Sunderland: The New York Post reports they are broke and Laurence Sunderland had signed a deal to film a reality show ( Adventures in Sunderland ) weeks after Abby set off on her doomed sail. “The show might be about family, it might be about Abigail’s trip. It’s something that was shopped around,” he told the newspaper. “We thought it might be a good idea if it was encouraging to kids to get out there and do things.” Mr. Sunderland insists, however, that his daughter’s dangerous trip was not a PR stunt for the series, which he says was “the last thing on my mind” when Abby lost contact with her family for 20 hours last week. “I love my daughter dearly,” he said. “I love the passion of sailing dearly, and this was about Abigail following her dream. She followed the criteria that I had set out, and met all the requirements to embark on this trip.” Abby agrees. She blogged yesterday that her solo navigation was “the best thing I have ever done or been through and I don’t ever want to forget all the great times… or the bad ones for that matter.”

Police Also Think Lindsay Lohan Might Die

Her friends think Lindsay Lohan is going to die . Apparently some law enforcement officials have been similarly alarmed at her condition and share that sentiment. Police officers who routinely come in contact with Lindsay – the fact that they do at all tells you something – say they have thought about forcing her to get help. Cops, unsurprisingly, see Lindsay at her worst – late nights and early mornings when she is absolutely plastered needs assistance avoiding celebrity gossip media. Some authorities quoted by TMZ cite Lindsay’s “erratic behavior” and “attitude,” both of which have grown progressively worse over the last several months. According to reports, during one of Lindsay’s crazier nights out recently, the police became so concerned they discussed taking her in for a 5150 evaluation. Also known as the Britney Spears psychiatric hold. BORROWED TIME : Lindsay’s living on it. [Photo: PacificCoastNewsOnline.com] Officers on the scene ultimately decided against it, as she didn’t meet all the criteria for a 5150. The train wreck could still take care of herself … technically. Over the weekend, we reported that professionals and confidants close to Lindsay fear she’s going to die if she doesn’t get help for substance abuse … now. Here’s hoping she heeds the warnings and ends up like Britney – alive, well, and with a career that’s as successful as ever, as opposed to the fatal alternative.
