NFL Referees are BACK! Happy about it? Absolutely! They've been on strike since June pending notiations with the Ref union concerning thier slary, pension and retirement benefits. With their absence, the NFL hired "replacement refs." They have been botching up calls left and right. The last straw was the missed call that cost Greenbay Packers a win. With the increasing ridicule and anger from fans, the NFL had to make a decision. The agreement hinged on working out salary, pension and retirement benefits for the officials, who are part-time employees of the league. Tentatively, it calls for their salaries to increase from $149,000 a year in 2011 to $173,000 in 2013, rising to $205,000 by 2019. That's a whole lot of money!! So we'll see the REAL REFS tonight for the Browns Raven game in Baltimore.
Usher has got a lot going on in his life right now. The drama with his ex wife Tameka Foster, his new custody grant where he is the primary caregiver for his kids and the death of his stepson. Because of all this, he is postponing his upcoming European tour to, "take some time to focus on my children and continue to evolve with my fans." (Full Story)
Nicki Minaj may be getting her own reality show on E! network. She has supposedly already begun filming and is in the middle of trying to get it on air. Think this will be Minaj tv overload? She'll also be on American Idol alongside Keith Urban, Mariah and Randy as a judge. We see her on what seems like every commercial like Pepsi and Addidas commercials.
JWoww from Jersey Shore got engaged!!! Best part of it... they were mid-skydive! Her boyfriend Roger Matthews proposed during a skydiving lesson by holding a handwritten sign . . . which she didn't even see until they hit the ground. She says, "The whole time I'm screaming, 'What are you doing? What's going on?' He's like, 'I want to spend the rest of my life with you! Will you allow me to?'" Obviously, she said yes. It's a fat 5-carat diamond ring. No word yet on a date. Now we just need new mommy Snooki to get hitched!
