Keith Crisco, the Democratic candidate running against Clay Aiken in North Carolina’s Second Congressional District, died at his home in Asheboro on Monday. He was 71 years old. Initial reports indicate Crisco suffered injuries from a fall at his house around 1 p.m. today. He was announced dead at the scene. At the time of Crisco’s passing, the District 2 race was considered “too close to call,” though Aiken lead Crisco by 369 votes at last count. “I am stunned and deeply saddened by Keith Crisco’s death,” the former American Idol runner-up said in a statement. “He was a gentleman, a good and honorable man and an extraordinary public servant. I was honored to know him.” Aiken added that he is “suspending all campaign activities as we pray for his family and friends.” Crisco served as Secretary of the North Caroline Department of Commerce before leaving his post in 2012 and taught Sunday school at First United Methodist Church in Asheboro. It is now expected that Aiken will face Republican incumbent Renee Ellmers for the seat in Congress. Celebrities We Lost in 2014 1. Philip Seymour Hoffman R.I.P. Philip Seymour Hoffman (1967-2014).

As previously reported, the assault took place on the way to a MET Gala after-party on May 5. Beyonce and Jay Z walked the red carpet of that event in good spirits, posing for photographers along the way and even faking a proposal after Beyonce dropped a ring.

Safe to say Apollo Nida shouldn’t compare himself to T.I. if he’s at all smart, because the rapper and one of his associates just tore him a new one. The background: Nida, who’s married to The Real Housewives of Atlanta star Phaedra Parks, pleaded guilty to fraud and identity theft earlier this week. In addition to Apollo Nida pleading guilty , he agreed – likely in exchange for sentencing leniency – to become a federal informant and help nail other crooks. Apollo is a snitch, in other words. A rat. T.I. Rips Apollo Nida Where does T.I. fit in? Because when the terms of Apollo’s plea deal were published, Nida Tweeted that T.I. and Michael Vick signed similar “snitching” deals. Let’s just say T.I. took issue with that. He and his boy Killer Mike (you don’t want to mess with a guy named Killer Mike, just saying) caught up with Nida in a parking lot Friday to discuss it. No one came to blows, but parts of the conversation were recorded and it was made abundantly clear to Apollo that he best not speak of T.I. ever again. T.I. told Nida that their cases were not similar (he’s correct, the rapper’s plea deal on gun charges does not include any informant activity) and to shut his yap. Nida deleted the tweet. Smart move, to put it mildly. The prison sentence he’s likely looking at may end up looking like a walk in the park compared to what might occur if he accuses T.I. of being a rat again. We’re lucky we didn’t have a fight on our hands … 25 Craziest Celebrity Fights 1. Dance Moms: Abby Lee Miller-Kelly Hyland Fight!

Those poor Kardashians. They just aren’t wanted by anyone these days. On the heels of Barack Obama spurning Kim Kardashian at a fundraiser in California this week, sources tell TMZ that Khloe and Kourtney Kardashian are meeting resistance in Long Island. The sisters are trying to rent property in order to film the upcoming E! series Kourtney & Khloe Take the Hamptons , but there’s an ongoing problem within these posh New York hamlets: Residents don’t want anything to do with the family! Real estate sources confirm that producers are yet to lock down a home for Khloe and Kourtney because neighbors don’t want the paparazzi swarming at all hours. One Southampton native tells TMZ that folks are concerned the Kardashians will “attract trash and ruin Southampton,” so these residents want them to go to East Hampton instead, which is supposedly more “new money.” But apparently East Hampton doesn’t want to be associated with the Kardashians either. Don’t laugh, people. These are serious #FirstWorldProblems. Whatever will Khloe and Kourtney and the millionaires who live in The Hamptons do?!? 22 Eye-Katching Kardashian Red Karpet Photos 1.
