Really?? Chris Conte Says Playing In NFL Is Worth Risking His Life Via NYDailyNews Bears safety Chris Conte knows how dangerous football can be to his life, but he says it is worth it. The 25-year-old defensive back told WBBM Newsradio in Chicago that if living out his dream of playing in the NFL means a shorter life span, then so be it. “As far as after football, who knows? My life will revolve around football to some point, but I’d rather have the experience of playing and, who knows, die 10, 15 years earlier than not be able to play in the NFL and live a long life,” Conte said. “ It’s something I’ve wanted to do with my life and I wanted to accomplish. And I pretty much set my whole life up to accomplish that goal. So I don’t really look toward my life after football because I’ll figure things out when I get there and see how I am.” Concussion awareness is at an all-time high in the NFL and Conte himself has experienced two concussions this season along with plenty of other injuries that has kept him out of at least three games. While that might sound crazy to some, there are plenty of other NFL players who feel the exact same way. If you knew your dream job would shorten your life span, would you still do it? Image via AP
Straight from the baller’s mouth Via DailyMail Michael Strahan has called his divorce ‘one of the worst best things that ever happened to me’. The 42-year-old co-host of ‘Live! with Kelly and Michael’ and former NFL star opened up about his personal life in a special interview with Barbara Walters for ABC. She quizzed him about his two divorces, his first from Wanda Hutchins, with whom he has two adult children, and his second from Jean Muggli, with whom he has 10-year-old twin girls. He said he learned a lot from his famously acrimonious divorce from Muggli, whom he met in 1994 while she worked in a skincare salon in Manhattan. They married in 1999 and divorced in 2005. ‘It was one of the worst/best things that ever happened to me,’ he said, adding that media coverage painted him as a cheater one day, then having a gay relationship with a friend the next. When Muggli filed for divorce, she made numerous accusations against him, including that he had beat her, cheated on her and even recorded her sister undressing. A judge ultimately dismissed the claims. ‘It let me get to the point where I had to learn not to care what anybody thought,’ Strahan explained. ‘So I also didn’t want to say anything and fight back to the papers because that fed more into it.’ He added that it also taught him to focus on what was important: his daughters. ‘I had these two little babies and I don’t want my little ones to Google when they’re older… and say, “Daddy, why did you say this about mommy?” I didn’t want that.’ he explained. ‘It was more important for me to take it and deal with it as a father than to put my – to say something that could hurt my kids in the future.’ Way to keep it classy, Mike.

If you didn’t believe the first reports about Kim Kardashian and Kanye West hitting a “rough patch” in their marriage, then maybe Kanye’s recent behavior will convince you. First K anye ditched Kim on Thanksgiving to attend to some unspecified work obligation. Then, they allegedly spent a month apart, again, due to Kanye’s hectic schedule. Now, there are rumors circulating the web that Yeezy ditched Kim and his 18-month-old daughter during some scheduled family time at Disney on Ice. His reason? You guessed it – work! “Kanye bailed after 30 minutes because he had work commitments,” a source tells Radar Online. “Kim was absolutely furious with Kanye for leaving after only such a short period of time.” “Kim was embarrassed by Kanye’s actions. Luckily, she had friends there to support her, and tried to keep the focus on North. In the end, Kim ended up leaving before the show ended too, because she was in a bad mood.” Well, we guess that’s what happens when you marry a guy who famously said, “Let’s have a toast to the jerk-offs that’ll never take work off.” Or maybe that was Shakespeare. We get Shakespeare and Yeezy confused sometimes. We’re sure Yeezy does too. Anyway, the source confirms that Kim and ‘Ye “aren’t in a very good place right now. Hey, maybe we’ll get to see that $250 million divorce , after all! 39 Kute and Kuddly Kimye Photos 1.

From those 30, he eventually whittles the field down to four. We don’t exactly know in which order, and won’t until Reality Steve reveals all later this winter. He has, however, gotten down to the real nitty gritty already. To wit: The four ladies who went on hometown dates are … Becca Tilley, of Shreveport, Louisiana! Kaitlyn Bristowe, of Vancouver, B.C.! Jade Roper, of Gering, Nebraska! Whitney Bischoff, of Chicago, Illinois! At the rose ceremony (in Dubuque, Iowa, rather than the exotic locales usually seen on The Bachelor), Chris said goodbye to Jade Roper. And then there were three. On the overnight dates, the group traveled to Bali, the only international trip of the season. Before returning to the U.S., Chris Soules axed Kaitlyn Bristowe. The finale, therefore, pits Becca Tilley against Whitney Bischoff, both of whom showed up for the final rose ceremony in or near his home town of Arlington, Iowa. Is there a big twist? Possible. But not likely. It sounds straightforward. When all is said and done this spring … Chris Soules is ENGAGED! To WHITNEY BISCHOFF! Prince Farming has found a Princess!

We’ll be updating The Bachelor spoilers either way, with updates from the earlier episodes as well as any new intel that becomes available in the coming weeks . Congratulations, most likely, to Chris and Whitney. Will it last?!
On a new episode of Oprah’s Where Are They Now? airing Sunday, former Laguna Beach star Kristin Cavallari looks back at the show that made her a star. Her reflection isn’t as positive as her fans might expect, either. Why? “I was a junior in high school. MTV showed up and did open casting,” she recalls. “You grab a 20-page packet, then they would take your Polaroid, and from there, they did on-camera interviews.” “They sort of narrowed it down to these eight people.” That would be Kristin Cavallari, Stephen Colletti , Morgan Olsen, Trey Phillips, Christina Schuller, Talan Torriero, Lauren Conrad and Lo Bosworth . “We had no idea what we were doing,” Kristin says, with a significant tinge of regret. “We were just going along with whatever MTV was telling us to do.” In fact, Cavallari felt producers capitalized on her naivety. How so? “My boyfriend at the time [Stephen Coletti] would take Lauren Conrad to dinner and buy her flowers, which never would have happened if it weren’t for the show and MTV.” “I felt very used and manipulated.” Cavallari, in turn, served as Conrad’s foil, which was hard for her, “Being 16, 17 in high school, not knowing really how to handle your emotions.” “I put up a wall. I put up a really tough exterior because I felt like they were really trying to take advantage of me,” she says of being deemed the “bad girl.” Laguna Beach Cast: Then & Now 1. Laguna Beach Cast Photo The cast members of MTV’s Laguna Beach, which premiered in 2004 and will never be replicated. Here’s a look at what the stars are up to now … “When I saw it air and saw the way that they represented me, I was really, really upset. I cried for hours and hours after I saw the first episode,” Cavallari admits. Now married to an NFL star quarterback (Jay Cutler) with two beautiful children, she’s come a long way from Laguna Beach, and is doing very well. “I still to this day think you should be 18 to do a reality show,” she still says, more than a little jaded from it all, “if only because of my experience.” Consider it a cautionary tale for teenagers from a seasoned pro. Check out the gallery above to see what the rest of the Laguna Beach cast is up to these days.
