Junior Seau Autopsy Report: No Alcohol, Drugs or Brain Damage Found

Former NFL star Junior Seau had no alcohol or illicit drugs in his system upon committing suicide this year, nor did he exhibit any signs of brain damage. According to the autopsy and toxicology reports released Monday by the San Diego County medical examiner, Seau’s medical history was unremarkable. His girlfriend, Megan Noderer, told police that Seau gave no indication that he planned to kill himself, making his decision to do so even more of a mystery. When Noderer returned to their home May 2 after a morning workout, she found Seau in bed, dead of a gunshot to the chest from a .357 magnum revolver. No note or “documents that were suicidal in nature” were found. The San Diego County medical examiner declared Seau’s death a suicide the next day. The 43-year-old was taking prescription medicines for orthopedic problems and insomnia, and was under the care of Chargers physician Dr. David Chao. The former Oceanside and USC football star drank only “socially [and] did not smoke, and there was no history of illicit drug use,” according to the report. Seau “had an unremarkable medical history” and exhibited no “suicidal ideation or confirmed suicide attempt,” Deputy Medical Examiner Dr. Craig Nelson wrote. Brain damage among football players due to concussions has become a controversial issue in the NFL, where Seau was a star for the San Diego Chargers. At the request of the Seau family, brain tissue was sent to the National Institutes of Health for more advanced investigation. May he rest in peace. [Photo: WENN.com]

Melissa Haro Nude for Fashion of the Day

Melisa Haro is a Sports Illustrated swimsuit model, or at least was a Sports Illustrated model, cuz even at the age of 24, she’s been retired and hasn’t ben in the shit since 2009…..pretty hard dealing with peaking at 21, but I guess not everyone gets into SI Swimsuit and at least she can always tell her friends working the diner with her about her glory days, provided she’s the kind of model who has blown all her money and unable to get knocked up by millionaires financing her life, forcing her back to small town hell…but for some reasons…I think models like that only exit in my fantasies… The good news is she hasn’t given up, and is still doing naked shoots for fashion, making noise, and that works for me

Darla Moore: The Toughest Babe in Business!

Darla Moore, who was invited to join the prestigious Augusta National Golf Club this week along with Condoleezza Rice, is a heavy hitter in her own right. In fact, Fortune once dubbed her the Toughest Babe in Business. In the ’90s, Moore found love, a new career and a reputation in the financial industry by running the portfolio of her billionaire husband, Richard Rainwater. “Don’t mess with Darla,” said Rainwater, who let his glamorous other half chop CEO heads and do his dirty work – to the tune of immense profits. Making history as a pioneer for women’s equality was Moore’s goal, but in a way, she became one when she and Rice became Augusta’s first female members . Since leaving the world of finance, Moore has left a major mark in philanthropy in her native South Carolina, giving over $70 million to the state university. Now 58, she has directed time and big money to try to find a cure for progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP), the rare brain disease that afflicts Rainwater.

Damage Control: Vanessa Bryant Denies Being A Golddiggin’, Money-Hungry Homemaker

Vanessa Bryant Says Her ‘Championship’ Comments Were Misconstrued After being quoted as saying that she “ wouldn’t want to be married to a player who doesn’t win championships” during rare but candid sit-down with NY Magazine earlier this week, Vanessa Bryant now says it’s not quite like that and that she’s still gonna ride or die for her dirty-dog husband Kobe. via TMZ Bryant is finally responding to critics who skewered her for the interview she did with New York Magazine in which she said, “I certainly would not want to be married to somebody that can’t win championships.” Now, Vanessa tells TMZ … “I’m sad to hear that comments in my New York Magazine interview are being misconstrued and taken out of context. I have and will continue to support my husband’s dreams.” Vanessa continues, “I have been with Kobe for 13 years. I accepted his marriage proposal PRIOR to him winning any of his 5 championships with his teammates.” “For anyone to think otherwise is wrong. It is not about being married to a ‘winner’ it is about our sacrifice as a family. “ FYI — Kobe and Vanessa got engaged in May 2000 … and he won his first championship in June of 2000. Do you believe Vanessa? Or is this just some too little, too late damage control?

98 Degrees Reunites on The Today Show

Yes, those were screams you heard emanating from Rockefeller Plaza this morning. But, no, you weren’t hearing things regarding the reason why: They were in response to the reunion of 98 Degrees. For the first time in a decade, Nick Lachey, Drew Lachey, Jeff Timmons and Justin Jeffre gathered on stage and belted out a pair of hits for fans: “Because of You” and “I Do.” Referring to themselves as a “man band,” as opposed to a “boy band,” Drew Lachey explained the difference between performing now and performing in the group’s prime: “There’s back pain, throat pain, knee pain, ankle pain, hip pain. Our menu went from like steak and lobster to Metamucil and prune juice.” But the men will suck it up this weekend at the MixTape Festival in Hershey, PA, where they will be featured along with Aaron Carter, The Fray, New Kids on the Block, Backstreet Boys, Kelly Clarkson and Carly Rae Jepsen . Watch 98 Degrees sing “Because of You” below. 98 Degrees on The Today Show

According to WVUE-TV in New Orleans , Tyrone Mathieu says his adopted son (and one of last year’s Heisman Trophy finalists), has been at the Right Step recovery center for days and is being counseled by former NBA player John Lucas.

Chelsea Clinton in Vogue: Mulling Political Future, Looking Beautiful

Chelsea Clinton is featured in the new issue of Vogue magazine. In it, she muses that like her famous parents – Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and former President Bill Clinton – she may seek office too one day. “Before my mom’s campaign I would have said no,” Chelsea said . However, “If there were to be a point where it was something I felt called to do and I didn’t think there was someone who was sufficiently committed to building a healthier, more equitable, more just, more productive world?” “Then that would be a question I’d have to ask and answer.” Clinton, 32, who married investment banker Marc Mezvinsky in 2010, said her celebrity is “something I could continue to ignore or it was something I could try to use to highlight causes that I really cared about,” she told Vogue . “I believe that there are many ways for each of us to play our part. For a very long time that’s what my mom did. And then she went into elected public life. Her life is a testament to the principle that there are many ways to serve.” “Historically I deliberately tried to lead a private life in the public eye,” she said. “And now I am trying to lead a purposefully public life.” People have pondered Chelsea’s political future for her since … forever. “It was something I had thought a lot about because people have been asking me that my whole life,” she said. “Even during my father’s 1984 gubernatorial campaign, it was, ‘Do you want to grow up and be governor one day?’ No. I am four.”
