*** UPDATED BREAKING NEWS*** Rest In Peace: Ex- Penn Sate Coach Joe Paterno Has Died

We reported earlier that Joe Paterno was in critical condition but as of the past hour, his health took a significant decline. Unfortunately, his death has just been reported: A family spokesperson confirmed to the Associated Press that Joseph Vincent Paterno has died at a State College hospital at the age of 85, just over two months after being diagnosed with a form of lung cancer. A posting to Penn State’s official Facebook page read simply: “With great sadness we mourn the passing of Coach Joe Paterno…Few have done more.” Paterno passed away at 9:25 a.m. ET Sunday, and the official cause of death was metastic small cell carcinoma of the lung. The legendary former Penn State head coach was surrounded by family and friends, who had been summoned to the on-campus hospital when Paterno’s health took a turn for the worse recently. “It is with great sadness that we announce that Joe Paterno passed away earlier today,” a statement from the family read. ”His loss leaves a void in our lives that will never be filled. He died as he lived. He fought hard until the end, stayed positive, thought only of others and constantly reminded everyone of how blessed his life had been. His ambitions were far reaching, but he never believed he had to leave this Happy Valley to achieve them. He was a man devoted to his family, his university, his players and his community.” Very sad news, what legacy do you think Joe Pa will leave? Source

Crazy Broads: Woman Popped For Kidnapping, Robbery, And Sexual Abuse, Whipped Her Boyfriend’s Testicles With A Belt

SMH at her nickname being “BamBam”: Meet Savannah “Bambam” Rios, accused testicle puncher.The Utah woman, 24, is facing several felony charges–kidnapping, robbery, sexual abuse–after a bizarre attack last week on a man she recently dated. Rios allegedly confronted the man last Wednesday after he accused her of swiping some of his belongings. The victim told police that he went to meet with Rios at a Salt Lake City residence, where he “was lead to a back backroom” where she was seated on the bed. The male victim–identified only by the initials “G.A.”–said that Rios slapped him several times, pulled out a knife, and asked him, “You wanna die?” According to a probable cause affidavit, Rios ordered “G.A.” to remove his clothes. After he complied, Rios grabbed the man’s belt and “wrapped it around her hand, and hit him several times in the ‘balls.’” After pleading for his life, the man told cops, Rios allowed him to get dressed. She then directed him to drive to his home, where she allegedly forced him to give her a DVD player, camera, and phones. On the way to the residence, Rios stabbed at “G.A” with the knife, police charged. While at the man’s home, Rios “observed a bank statement…and ordered him to the bank.” The victim, who withdrew $500 from his account, subsequently escaped and “ran for help at a nearby police station.” Rios, who was still in the vehicle when cops arrived, was arrested at the scene and booked into the Salt Lake County Jail. She remains locked up in lieu of $100,000 bail. Wow. Via The Smoking Gun More On Bossip!

In Hatin’ A$$ White Folks News: Political “Talking Head” Bill Maher Says He Supports SOPA Because Of “Religulous” Piracy!

SMH! In perhaps what was the biggest surprise of his show tonight, Bill Maher defended the proposed Stop Online Piracy Act, even as the bill has been temporarily shelved, arguing that “there is a moral dimension” to online piracy and dismissed concerns that the bill would harm internet freedom as a “red herring.” He jokingly called online piracy “caucasian looting” and insisted that even if pirates are ‘just because you’re sitting at your computer in your pajama bottoms doesn’t mean you’re not stealing.” Maher admitted that he has not read the proposed legislation, which could penalize websites that merely link to infringing material, but he explained that his more hawkish views in the piracy debate came from his reaction to online users downloading illegal copies of Maher’s comedy-documentary Religulous. Maher claimed so many people downloading the film ate into its profits. However, Republican presidential candidate Buddy Roemer came out strongly against it, arguing the whole point of the bill was to give the government more power to manage the internet. Matt Lewis, contributor for The Daily Caller, brought up the controversial provision of SOPA, that if a link to any pirated material is found on a website and someone (like a copyright holder) makes a complaint, the government could take the website down in response. And with Jennifer Granholm getting applause for her praise of internet advocacy, Maher was alone in voicing any support for the bill, quipping that the protestors’ main goal was “We want more free isht!” So the only reason he’s supporting this over-reaching act that would shut down the internet forever as we know it is because he lost a few bucks on his movie that no one went to see anyway?? Ho, please sit down. ‘Preciate it Source More On Bossip!

Question Of The Day: Are People Out Of Pocket Judging T.I. For Marrying Tiny???

Can they live??? Over the past few months we have THOROUGHLY enjoyed tuning in to “ T.I. and Tiny: The Family Hustle” on VH1 (Mondays @ 10pm). As entertaining and endearing as the show is, there has been an ongoing undercurrent of ugliness (no pun intended) when discussing Tiny’s…”aesthetic appeal” in comparison to Tip’s. There were always jokes and snide comments, but after an episode two weeks ago when “The Kang’s” other baby mama, Ranniqua , made an appearance the chit-chatter got louder and meaner. As mentioned in a previous post, most people found Ranniqua VERY attractive and began to wonder aloud, “Why the hell didn’t T.I. stay with her instead of Tiny??”. It seems everyday that another celebrity couple is getting divorced, and with so much talk about the absence of the Black family unit and Black love, shouldn’t people be happy that Harris’ appear to have a loving supportive relationship rather than playing the “Marvin’s Room” card saying that they think Tip “could do better”??? What say you? Are people unfairly judging T.I. and Tiny’s relationship?? Hit that comments section and speak your piece. More On Bossip!

Cry Me A Muhfuggin’ River: Atlanta Area School Teacher Who Wrote Slavery Math Homework Apologizes

Oh, NOW you want to apologize wit yo’ punk a$$… The suburban Atlanta teacher who resigned after an investigation found students were given math homework with word problems about slavery has apologized. Former Beaver Ridge Elementary School teacher Luis Rivera said some of the questions he wrote were in “poor taste,” according to a report Thursday in the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. In a statement to Gwinnett County school officials, obtained by the Atlanta newspaper, Rivera said he did not write the homework to be malicious or offensive. “I wrote poorly written questions in an attempt to enhance student achievement. I have brought shame to my family, and my school. For that, I cannot apologize enough,” he said. One math problem read: “Each tree has 56 oranges. If eight slaves pick them equally, then how much would each slave pick?” Another was: “If Frederick got two beatings each day, how many beatings did he get in one week?” Rivera resigned from his $39,170-a-year job on Jan. 13. As a hispanic man that has surely faced racism and discrimination in America, how could you even fix your fingers to write some bullisht homework like this?! Kick rocks with flip-flops sucka, hope you choke on your Goya beans. Yeah, it’s not so cool when the joke is on the other foot is it? SMH Do you accept this a$$hole’s apology?? Source More On Bossip!

What The Hell??? Jewish Newspaper Suggests That Israel Should Assassinate Barack Obama

These people better leave our POTUS alone!!! Via Gawker: Andrew Adler, the owner and publisher of the Atlanta Jewish Times, a weekly newspaper serving Atlanta’s Jewish community, devoted his January 13, 2012 column to the thorny problem of the U.S. and Israel’s diverging views on the threat posed by Iran. Basically Israel has three options, he wrote: Strike Hezbollah and Hamas, strike Iran, or “order a hit” on Barack Obama. Either way, problem solved! Here’s how Adler laid out “option three” in his list of scenarios facing Israeli president Benjamin Netanyahu (the column, which was forwarded to us by a tipster, isn’t online, but you can read a copy here): Three, give the go-ahead for U.S.-based Mossad agents to take out a president deemed unfriendly to Israel in order for the current vice president to take his place, and forcefully dictate that the United States’ policy includes its helping the Jewish state obliterate its enemies. Yes, you read “three” correctly. Order a hit on a president in order to preserve Israel’s existence. Think about it. If I have thought of this Tom Clancy-type scenario, don’t you think that this almost unfathomable idea has been discussed in Israel’s most inner circles? Another way of putting “three” in perspective goes something like this: How far would you go to save a nation comprised of seven million lives…Jews, Christians and Arabs alike? You have got to believe, like I do, that all options are on the table. It’s hard to tell whether or not Adler is just some crank. But the Atlanta Jewish Times, which he purchased in 2009, appears to be a real community newspaper. It was founded in 1925 and, according to Wikipedia, claims a circulation of 3,500 and staff of five. To judge from its web site, it’s a going concern. Source More On Bossip!
