Aaron Leetch And Torrey Ward Deaths Illinois State University is currently in mourning after two members of their coaching staff’s lives ended in tragedy. After attending Monday’s NCCA Basketball championship game in Indianapolis, Aaron Leetch (L) and Torrey Ward (R) were killed when their small plane crashed. The Chicago Tribune reports: Two members of Illinois State University’s athletic department were among the seven people killed when their small plane crashed near the Bloomington airport while returning from the NCAA basketball championship game in Indianapolis, authorities said. They were identified as Aaron Leetch, deputy director of athletics for external operations, and Torrey Ward, associate head coach of the Redbirds men’s basketball team. “The entire campus (is) in mourning,” ISU President Larry Dietz said in a statement. Two other victims have been identified: Terry Stralow, a partner in a popular bar in Bloomington-Normal, and Scott Bittner, owner of a meat-processing company and owner of the twin-engine Cessna 414 that crashed. No information about the others killed was available, but authorities said everyone on board died in the crash. The plane left the Indianapolis airport about 11 p.m. Monday and hit heavy fog over central Illinois, authorities said. About 12:15 a.m., radar contact with the plane was lost, according to the sheriff’s office. A search was launched, and a Bloomington police officer discovered the wreckage in a field northeast of the airport, the office said. “It was determined that there were no survivors,” the office said. At some point “that radio contact was lost,” he said. Olson did not say if the pilot indicated experiencing any trouble. The pilot did not cancel the flight plan or make any alterations in flight, he said. So sad, condolences to the families of the coaches and the rest of the victims.
Is a life of crime about to pay off for Joe Giudice and his family? Again? A day after Joe and Teresa Giudice banked $75,000 for posing on Us Weekly (with Teresa donning prison garb, naturally), insiders confirm that the family is in negotiations with E! on another reality series. It would reportedly feature Joe and his four daughters (Gia, Milania, Gabriella and Audriana) adjusting to life at home with their prime money maker loved one around. Joe, of course, is scheduled to serve over 40 months in prison himself once Teresa goes free. Talks are in the very early stages, but we can confirm the series would be separate from any future seasons of The Real Housewives of New Jersey . The future of that show and Teresa’s place on it remain in the air at this time. According to E! – which has also greenlit a show called Dash Dolls about employees of the Kardashians, proving it has no shame or semblance of good taste – Joe is on board with his own series. Teresa is actually the one hesitating at the moment, wanting to learn as much as she can before signing off on the project. In other words: show her the money, producers, and then she’ll gladly sign on the dotted line. Once that happens, Joe Giudice will immediately get added to this list of reality stars: 23 Biggest Douchebags on Reality TV 1. Jon Gosselin View Photo Jon Gosselin is one of the most frequent results if you run a Google image search on “reality TV douchebag.” True story. 2. Jax Taylor View Photo Vanderpump Rules’ Jax Taylor is perhaps the biggest d-bag on reality TV. It’s a bold statement, but he continues to lower the bar on a weekly basis. 3. Spencer Pratt View Photo Spencer Pratt is, in a sense, the man all fame-grubbing reality TV douchebags of today are measured against. A trailblazing antagonist on The Hills, Pratt redefined the role of reality TV villain, eventually wearing out his welcome and blowing through $10 million with his constant scheming and publicity whoring before exiling himself to his parents’ guest house with wife Heidi Montag. 4. The Situation View Photo Mike Sorrentino, a.k.a. The Situation from Jersey Shore, may be as full of himself as any man who has ever lived. So important was Sitch, in the mind of Sitch, that his nickname had a nickname and everything he did had to be an acronym or catch phrase. Many of which were hilarious, granted. But still … total douche. Advertisement A message from our sponsor. 5. Adam Lind View Photo Adam Lind of Teen Mom 2 is basically a terrible boyfriend, father, and human being in general who has tormented Chelsea Houska (and viewers) from the get-go on the MTV reality staple. 6. Dean McDermott View Photo Dean McDermott has really entered the upper echelon of this category since his cheating ways have been exposed and recounted ad nauseam on True Tori. 7. Juan Pablo Galavis View Photo Definitely the biggest douche ever to be named The Bachelor, and one of the biggest in all of reality TV history. 8.

That would make a good show, Bravo. Advertisement A message from our sponsor. 9. Adam Levine View Photo There’s a lot to like about Adam Levine, honestly. It’s just that after five hours a week on TV and every freaking second on the radio, you start to focus more on the d-bag qualities just beneath (or on) the surface. 10. Scott Disick View Photo We thoroughly enjoy Scott Disick’s comic relief on Keeping Up With the Kardashians and Kourtney and Khloe Take the Hamptons, and Kourtney’s far from perfect herself, but Lord D. exhibits some major d-bag qualities from time to time. 11.

Apollo Nida View Photo Apollo Nida is such a douche that society decided he needed to be locked up for eight years to think about his douchey actions. Phaedra Parks’ ex is currently serving a lengthy prison sentence for fraud, but we like to think the judge threw the book at him for 4 million counts of being a D-bag. 19. Teresa Giudice View Photo Teresa is another real-life villainess who proves that you don’t need to be a man to be both a douche bag AND a felon. Teresa was despised by fans and castmates alike long before she was convicted of fraud, and soon she’ll have the pleasure of working her charm on a group of gals who know how to make shivs out of toothbrushes. That should end well! 20. John Rocker View Photo John Rocker was the pitcher fans loved to hate during his stint as a major league baseball player.

Actress Ashley Judd has written a powerful essay about violence against women, and it all stemmed from a Tweet about March Madness, no less. An avid basketball fan (and non-bandwagon University of Kentucky supporter), she recently tweeted something negative about a college basketball game. Despite how ephemeral and harmless this was, the star was quickly on the receiving end of a “tsunami of gender-based violence and misogyny.” “Tweets rolled in, calling me a c–t, a whore or a bitch, or telling me to suck a two-inch d–k. Some even threatened rape, or ‘anal anal anal,'” the Insurgent star writes . If only it stopped there. It only got worse. Appallingly so. “I deleted my original tweet after the game, before all hell broke loose, to make amends for any genuine offense I may have committed by describing play as ‘dirty.'” “Of course, other people, including my uncle who is a chaplain, also expressed fear that the athletes would be hurt badly.” “But my uncle wasn’t told he was a smelly p—y. He wasn’t spared because of his profession; being a male sports fan is his immunity from abuse.” “What happened to me is the devastating social norm experienced by millions of girls and women on the Internet,” Judd went on. “Online harassers use the slightest excuse (or no excuse at all) to dismember our personhood,” Ashley adds, and described it in detail. “My tweet was simply the convenient delivery system for a rage toward women that lurks perpetually. I know this experience is universal, though I’ll describe specifically what happened to me.” “I read in vivid language the various ways, humiliating and violent, in which my genitals, vaginal and anal, should be violated, shamed, exploited and dominated.” “Either the writer was going to do these things to me, or they were what I deserved. My intellect was insulted: I was called stupid, an idiot.” “My age, appearance and body were attacked. Even my family was thrown into the mix: Someone wrote that my ‘grandmother is creepy.'” The experience hit home on multiple levels for the 46-year-old Judd, who went on to recount her own multiple experiences with rape and assault: “I am a survivor of sexual assault, rape and incest. I am greatly blessed that in 2006, other thriving survivors introduced me to recovery. I seized it.” “My own willingness, partnered with a simple kit of tools, has empowered me to take the essential odyssey from undefended and vulnerable victim to empowered survivor.” “Today, nine years into my recovery,” she writes, with the passage of time and the perspective it offers, “I can go farther and say my ‘story” is not ‘my story.'” “It is something a Higher Power (spirituality, for me, has been vital in this healing) uses to allow me the grace and privilege of helping others who are still hurting.” Perhaps, she says, the simple act of speaking out about these difficult topics can help “offer a piece of education, awareness and action to our world.” If it does, the world will be better for it.
Family Of Teen Who Survived Brutal Rape Attack Plans 15th Birthday Celebration via MTV News Amber Andujar is a survivor in every sense of the word, and now her family hopes to celebrate her strength in the best way possible. On September 2, 2012 — Amber’s 12th birthday — Andujar was raped and had her neck cut in her Camden, New Jersey, home by 33-year-old intruder Osvaldo Rivera. Amber’s 6-year-old brother, Dominick Andujar, ran to his sister’s rescue and tried to fight off her attacker, but the grade-schooler was brutally murdered after Rivera slashed the little boy’s throat. Rivera was sentenced to 110 years in prison in December, but Amber will have to live with those scars forever. Rather than be reminded of the horrors of her 12th birthday, Amber’s mother and aunt hope to make her upcoming 15th birthday a special one, so together they set up a GoFundMe account to throw Amber the quinceañera she’s always wanted. “We want to lift Amber’s spirit up as she turns 15yrs old and becoming a young lady,” Amber’s aunt Kim Burgos Baker wrote on her GoFundMe page. “This tragedy happened on her birthday, and we’re hoping to get supporters to help us help her celebrate her quinceanera and making it extra special for her.”
Via speeches from President Barack Obama and activist Brooke Axtell (who introduced Katy Perry’s live performance) the Grammy Awards took on the issue of domestic violence last night. The event raised awareness for the It’s On Us campaign, an organization dedicated to the issue of sexual assault. It was a bold move and an admirable move… but it was also a hypocritical move, according to Alexander Gaskarth. “Wow. Unbelievable. Maybe #ItsOnUs to not invite people like @chrisbrown to the fcking Grammys. Am I wrong?,” the All Time Low singer Tweeted. “I’m all for atonement and forgiveness, but it seems a little crass to me…” Brown, of course, gave then-girlfriend Rihanna a black eye after a pre-Grammys party in 2009 – he was in attendance at last night’s ceremony. And many took note of the hypocrisy, saying Brown’s presence undercut the important message sent by Perry and company. Brown remained relatively calm in his response to Gaskarth, Tweeting back to the artist: “you sound really perfect brother… How can I get those VIP tickets to the pearly gates bro… Seems like you have it down.” To his credit, Gaskarth did not back down. “I’m not worried about the pearly gates RN, man,” he Tweeted. “Worried about here and now… And double standards. And the messages we send.” What do you think, readers? Should Brown have been disinvited to the Grammys, given its focus on domestic abuse? Or should all be forgiven when it comes to the singer? Does he make a good point, that no human being is perfect? Or is it not too much to ask that men simply don’t bludgeon the faces of women and “perfection” has nothing to do with it? 25 Pics of Chris Brown Thuggin’ It! 1.
