Actor Jeremy London has had a long history with drug use.  In April, he did an interview with People Magazine where he talked about how he had a pill problem, and now he’s coming forward to confess to a relapse not of his own volition.  The 37-year-old actor reported to police in Palm Springs that, while changing a tire on June 10, he was kidnapped and held at point by two men, finding himself forced to do drugs and drink for over five hours or be killed.

I know, it sounds like an excuse, right?  That’s what I thought, too.  “Oh, he’s just fallen off the wagon and looking to make an excuse.  Apparently, this isn’t true, because London’s two kidnappers, 26-year-old Brandon Adams and an unnamed man, were arrested the next day (after London escaped), where London’s car was found.  Despite the two weird kidnappers being arrested, I have to admit I still kind of doubt this story, if only because it’s mind-bogglingly weird for me to think someone would force someone else, at gunpoint, to buy booze and smoke stimulant drugs.

Commissioner Roger Goodell gathered 32 NFL owners for one big question.  One of the league’s most wanderlust-stricken franchises is looking to move again.  The Oakland-Los Angeles-Oakland Raiders, tired of gutting it out in a run-down stadium, were once again looking for greener pastures.  Only the Miami Dolphins refused to cooperate.  With a vote of 31-1, […]

In 2006, an injury to Dallas Cowboys starting quarterback Drew Bledsoe opened the door for an undrafted free agent by the name of Tony Romo to take the helm of America’s Team and lead the Dallas Cowboys to an early playoff exit.  Bledsoe went from starter to afterthought in a season.  Now, the circle continues […]

For 89 years, Oscars has never had a major mistake.  The last few Oscars might have had a few flubs, but at least they never got the most important category of the night wrong.  Well, that’s now changed, all thanks to OG Bonnie and Clyde legends Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway.  When Faye Dunaway called […]

Tom Brady has been wildly successful, if controversial.  He’s the first quarterback ever to win five Super Bowls and only the second player to do so after Charles Haley.  Unlike Haley, Brady won all his Super Bowls with the same team, the New England Patriots.  The only thing that seems to be able to stop […]

Ben Affleck, no matter what you might think of him, is a talented actor and director.  He’s got the goods, but he’s smart enough to know when he’s in over his head.  All along, since he took on the mantle of Batman, he’s had his eyes on writing, directing, and starring as the Caped Crusader. […]

In May, students for the for-profit American College of Education were running into some problems.  Their access to email accounts and course information was locked down by Google, who had disabled their accounts.  The reason why?  A fired IT worker for the American College of Education locked the school out of their Google cloud account.
