Hey Reese, look out for that car! *screeeeeee-THUD*

Every day, I see people jogging along sidewalks.  They’re concentrating on their run, they’re wearing dark glasses and have iPods stuffed into their ears, and they’re generally not paying attention while they’re running.  They’re showing a lot of faith in the drivers around them, and big stars are just as guilty as normal folks.  Hollywood actress and Oscar winner Reese Witherspoon is no exception, either to the jogging or the lack of situation awareness.  While crossing at a crosswalk, Reese Witherspoon was hit by a car while jogging in Santa Monica, California.

While jogging in the area of 20th Street and Georgina Avenue at about 11 AM,  Witherspoon was minding her own business when she was hit by a car driven by an 84-year-old woman.  Fortunately for Witherspoon and the woman in question, Reese Witherspoon was not seriously injured.   According to her spokesperson, Nancy Ryder, Reese is at home and resting comfortably to recover from her bumps and bruises.  Meanwhile, the driver was cited for failing to yield to a pedestrian at a crosswalk and released.

I’ve never had a problem eating food from a gas station.  Just two weeks ago, I ate a couple of hot dogs purchased from a gas station.  They were delicious.  That’s not the first time I’ve eaten gas station food, and I doubt it will be the last.  There’s nothing like a fun food novelty. […]

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.
