Osu Cheerleader

Osu Cheerleader, Two assistant cheerleader coaches at Ohio State University were kicked off the team in May during a sex scandal that included charges of harassment.

Eddie Hollins and Dana Bumbrey were fired on Nov. 7, according to the school's student newspaper The Lantern.

Kim Heaton, the athletic department's director of human resources, stated in a letter dated June 20 that Ohio State's head cheerleading coach Lenee Buchman did not properly report a complaint and the coaching staff was required to attend sexual harassment education session in July.

According to records The Lantern obtained, Bumbrey and Hollins were fired "for cause" on May 23.

The Columbus Dispatch reported that cheerleaders accused Hollins of making sexual jokes and at times slapping male students on the butts and tapping their testicles. They accused Bumbrey of making inappropriate remarks to the female cheerleaders, including nicknaming one "Fornicate."

The cheerleaders said Bumbrey routinely talked about the size of the female cheerleaders' butts and made remarks such as "she always has her legs spread" when one cheerleader was in a compromising position during routines.

According to records, investigators said Hollins had been investigated for similar charges in 2006 and should have known better.

"Ohio State University has no tolerance for this type of behavior," Ohio State spokesman Gary Lewis Jr. told the Dispatch. "The university conducted a complete and thorough investigation and found that the behaviors of Hollins and Bumbrey were inconsistent with university values and violated university policies."

The fired coach said that sexual joking among the coaches and team members was common, and comments they made to cheerleaders were never taken seriously.

The Lantern noted that Bumbrey was a 1995 graduate of Ohio State and had been a member of the coaching staff since August 2009 and was an OSU cheerleader from 1992-95. Hollins was in his third stint as a university cheerleading coach and was a 1994 OSU graduate.

Annette Bening Son Transgender

Annette Bening Son Transgender, Stephen Ira, the transgender son of Hollywood power couple Warren Beatty and Annette Bening, has filmed a public service announcement opposing a New York Medicaid regulation excluding transgender people from accessing healthcare.

"I grew up outside of New York, but I've always known I've wanted to move here for the city's vibrant artistic community," Ira says in the spot. "As a trans person, I would hope that I'd be welcomed but many trans people aren't because we don't have the basic healthcare coverage we need to survive."

The ad was produced by GLAAD and the Sylvia Rivera Law Project.

In 2011, state Health Commissioner Dr. Nirav Shah said that "no consideration is being given to any change in current state policy and any proposal to have gender reassignment surgery funded by Medicaid would be rejected."

California and Minnesota already use Medicaid funds for the surgery.

Anna Davis Arrested

Anna Davis Arrested, Former Buckwild Star Arrested for DUI, MTV‘s hopeful replacement for The Jersey Shore, Buckwild caused massive controversy with its alcoholic cast, crazy antics and more.

The show was taken off the air over a year ago, after MTV decided to cancel the show in the wake of Shain Gandee’s death. The cast were in the middle of filming season two, Salwa Amin and “Bluefoot” were both in jail and Shain had recently passed, and so producers decided to stop filming rather than continue without its most popular stars.

However, the remaining stars of Buckwild are still in the headlines. Salwa has been doing really well in her rehabilitation, and she is recovering from her opiate addiction. Although, other cast members still seem to have issues controlling their substance intake.

This time, it’s cast member Anna Davis who has been arrested for DUI (something nearly the entire cast has been arrested for previously).

Stop us if this one sounds familiar — one of the people from the ex-MTV show “Buckwild” was arrested this morning in West Virginia … this time for a DUI. Anna Davis — who the show described as a “true wild child” — was busted early Saturday morning for aggravated DUI.

It’s unclear at this point why the DUI charges were elevated since a whole slew of things could have caused it … but the same thing happened to her co-star Bluefoot earlier this year when he had a BAC higher than .15. Anna was released hours later on a $1k pr bond — meaning she didn’t have to pay … just promise to show up in court. – via TMZ.

Previously, Salwa Amin was arrested for disorderly conduct and drug offenses. Tyler Boulet was arrested for underage drinking. Michael “Bluefoot” Douglas was arrested for DUI. Joey Mulcahy was arrested for DUI. And the late Shain Gandee had also been arrested for DUI.

Mike Mccormack Dies

Mike Mccormack Dies, Hall of Fame offensive lineman Mike McCormack died Friday in Palm Desert, Calif. He was 83. During his nearly 50 years in professional football, McCormack played, coached and held several executive positions, including president of the Carolina Panthers.

Panthers spokesman Charlie Dayton said he spoke with McCormack’s wife, Ann, and was informed of McCormack’s death from natural causes.

McCormack spent 12 seasons with the Cleveland Browns, helping the franchise win NFL championships in 1954 and 1955. He played with Otto Graham and blocked for running back Jim Brown.

“The Cleveland Browns were saddened to learn of the passing of Mike McCormack,” the Browns said in a statement. “His contributions to our history are profound, not only on an individual level, but also with regard to the tremendous success we enjoyed as a team during his career. Both the Browns and the NFL are most fortunate to have shared part of his amazing life. Our deepest condolences go out to his wife, Ann, and his family.”

McCormack later coached the Philadelphia Eagles (1973-75), Baltimore Colts (1980-81) and Seattle Seahawks (1982). He served as president and general manager of the Seahawks.

McCormack was instrumental in helping the Panthers land an NFL franchise in 1993 and is the first person selected into the team’s Hall of Honor.

“It is safe to say that we would probably not have a team in the Carolinas if it were not for Mike McCormack,” Panthers owner Jerry Richardson said in a release. “He had the contacts in the National Football League and was universally respected by everyone associated with professional football.”

Richardson and McCormack have remained close friends.

“He was a wonderful man and our thoughts and prayers are with his wife, Ann, and the entire McCormack family,” Richardson said.

A native of Chicago, McCormack made his mark in the NFL long before joining the Panthers in 1989.

McCormack was a dominant offensive lineman for the Browns. At McCormack’s Hall of Fame induction ceremony, coach Paul Brown called McCormack “the finest offensive lineman I have ever coached.”

USA Today named McCormack to its 75th anniversary all-NFL team, listing him as one of the best three tackles in league history.

McCormack’s coaching career began as an assistant in 1965 with the Washington Redskins, learning under coaching legends Vince Lombardi and George Allen.

But he never experienced the same success he had as a player. McCormack was a combined 29-51-1 during his career as a head coach.

Still, he was respected enough that the Seahawks hired him to work on the personnel side as president and general manager. McCormack left the Seahawks in 1989 and Richardson hired him as an adviser in an effort to help bring professional football to the Carolinas.

He later served as team president, but left the Panthers after two seasons so he could spend more time with his grandchildren.

Richardson named McCormack to Carolina’s Hall of Honor in 1997. He is one of only two people in the Hall of Honor; the other is former linebacker Sam Mills, who is also deceased.

Dayton said the Panthers plan to hold a moment of silence prior to Monday night’s game against the New England Patriots.

Chloe Lattanzi

Chloe Lattanzi, Being the offspring of famed Aussie singer, Olivia Newton-John it seems has been a tad too much for 27 year old Chloe Lattanzi.

In a new account the doomed daughter and only child of Olivia Newton-John and her then husband Matt Latanzi explains in an exclusive with the UK’s dailymail how starting at the age of 15 she spiraled out of control in a web of depression, anorexia, self medication with cocaine, vodka and anti depressants as she struggled to become the perfect thing she thought she had to be.

While Olivia Newton John, now 65 has managed to retain the aura of a wholesome, squeaky clean girl next door, her daughter, Chloe has had to spend an eternity struggling with her mother’s legacy as she attempted to replicate her mother’s ascent.

Fresh out of rehab, Chloe Latanzi goes on to explain the resentment of being born into money, fame, privilege and how that shit messed with her head.

Tells Latanzi: ‘Fame totally messes you up. I don’t blame my mother for my problems, but I would never want to be famous or raise a child of my own around the cult of celebrity. It ruins lives.

‘If there’s one thing I’ve learned, it is that you can’t be fragile in this business, or else you end up like Lindsay Lohan.

‘That’s not meant as an insult: I know she – and a lot of celebrities and celebrities’ kids – are struggling with  demons and addictions, just like me, and not all of them are brave enough to address them. It’s disturbing that everyone wants to be famous these days. Our culture is sick.’

Lesean Mccoy Flag

Lesean Mccoy Flag, LeSean McCoy showed up at Lincoln Financial Field on Sunday wearing a Raiders vest, so it only stood to reason that the Philadelphia Eagles running back would be imbued with that old school Raiders sense of disrepute.

Prior to the big divisional game against the Washington Redskins, McCoy ripped a Redskins flag away from a fan near the tunnel to the locker room.

That’s pretty shady, Shady. It’s the Eagles fans, not the players, who are stereotypically supposed to act like boors.

The Eagles came out with the same tenacious attitude on the field, to less-than-stellar results. On the first play from scrimmage, defensive end Fletcher Cox made an unnecessary shove on Robert Griffin III after the quarterback stepped out of bounds, earning a 15-yard personal foul.
