It has been confirmed that a football legend has passed this morning.

Penn State's former football coach, Joe Paterno, has passed earlier this morning. The 85 year old coach who is known for winning more games than any other major-college football coach suffered from lung cancer. He was diagnosed in November of last year after he was let go by Penn State for his involvement in Jerry Sandusky's sex abuse scandal (Many people felt he should have done more to stop it from happening). His family released a statement:

"He died as he lived. He fought hard until the end, stayed positive, thought only of others and constantly reminded everyone of how blessed his life had been. His ambitions were far reaching, but he never believed he had to leave this Happy Valley to achieve them. He was a man devoted to his family, his university, his players and his community."          

Paterno made many accomplishments as the head coach of Penn State's football team. He a national coach of the year five times. He also had five unbeaten/untied teams, as well as leading Penn State to be ranked No. 1 in both 1982 and 1986.

My YouTube Obsessions

LOL...LOL...LOL...

I have a confession. I am a YouTube junkie. I love to see funny videos. They make up for my "lack of cable" in my apartment (The Diary of a College Student!). I came across a few that are hilarious
.

Deshawn Raw

I can't stop giggling at all the videos I see by Deshawn Raw. The first one I saw was the rap battle parody with Mr. Supa Hot Fire who is "not a rapper" dominating the battle for a win. After that I had to keep clicking. His skits are hilarious. He hails from California. He has the cutest accent and face too. You just want to pinch his cheeks! To see more his videos click here.

@SpokenReasons

Who knew you could keep it real and still be hilarious? @SpokenReasons that's who. My friend showed me a video about his view on people's extended facebook names and I was hooked. From Soulja Boy to Amber Cole, he addresses issues that make you laugh and think at the same time. I like his style of delivery as well. One person. One camera. Great editing. I could not stop laughing at the Soulja Boy parady though. As you watch, peep the BET tattoo! That was the touch that got me. See more of his videos here.

Kappas and Omegas Come Together for Obama

The brothers of Kappa Alpha Psi fraternity and Omega Psi Phi fraternity are coming together to form a Super PAC, or Political Action Committee to help re-elect President Barack H. Obama during the 2012 campaign as reported by NewsOne. 

Super PACs were established in 2010. They give independent committees permission to raise and spend unlimited amouts of funds to either promote for or against a political candidate. Rightfully named "1911 United" (both fraternities were founded in 1911 for those that aren't aware), the organization "aims to raise $1.5 million toward training and organizing African-American voters in key battleground states to re-elect President Obama." according to Sinclair Skinner, treasurer of the committee.


Though 1911 United is focusing on "racially diverse swing states," the group intends to go anywhere needed. According to the Root, a delegation team will be sent to New Hampshire next week during primaries to help campaign for Obama.

I love when organizations come together and help one another. A fist is stronger than a finger...think about it.

Nick Cannon might be able to leave the hospital today. According to the L.A. Times Blog, Cannon was in the hospital for kidney failure while vacationing in Aspen, Colorado earlier last week. He was transferred to an undisclosed hospital in L.A. where he had surgery that required no sedation.

"We're trying to be as festive as possible under the circumstances but please keep Nick in your thoughts because this is very painful." Mariah writes. "They tried to kick me out of the hospital but here I am pon de bed with Mr. C." No cause of the kidney failure has been reported.

Prayer is Powerful!

Thanks to Rihanna, everyone now has confirmation that Beyonce has given birth last night and not earlier this week as it has been falsely reported. Rihanna tweeted earlier, "Welcome to the world princess Carter! Love Aunty Rih." for all her fans to see. 

Beyonce and Jay-Z now have a baby girl by the name of Blue Ivy Carter according to The New York Daily News. It is reported that the couple paid almost $1.3 million to rent out an entire floor at Lenox Hill Hospital.

According to the NY Daily and several other press outlets, a staff member of the hospital claims Beyonce checked in the hospital as "Ingrid Jackson" for a scheduled c-section.

No word on any other details yet.

Congrats Jay and Bey!

Deceased Teenager is Sued for Body Parts Flying

Wow oh wow!

For those of you that think you're in the clear in the afterlife guess again. An appeals court in Illinois has determined that the estate of a teenager killed by a train in 2008 can be held liable for injuries caused to a bystander who was struck by his body parts.

According to the Chicago Tribune, Hiroyuki Joho, 18, was struck by a southbound Amtrak train that was traveling at 70mph as he was trying to catch a Metra train. It was then a significant amount of his body went flying in the air, striking 58 year old, Gayane Zokhrabov, while she was waiting for the train to go to work.

Initially, a Cook County judge dismissed the suit against Joho's estate, but was recently appealed in a state appeals court. Leslie Rosen, the attorney handling the appeal for Zokhrabov, stated, "If you do something as stupid as this guy did, you have to be responsible for what comes from it."

This "guy" was an eighteen year old...a teenager. You would think she could choose better words.

I guess we all have to be prepared for ANY situation. 

Thank goodness for insurance!

You Aren't...I Mean You Are the Father???

     Just when you thought that the Bieber drama ended, Mariah Yeater is back again. Though she has dropped her lawsuit with Justin Bieber, she is still demanding a paternity test outside of court.

“I dropped my lawsuit, but never my claim. I still definitely want a DNA test and I want to refile my paternity case -- I do believe he is the father,” Yeater told the Chicago Sun-Times. 


     Last year Yeater claimed she conceived her son, Tristyn Anthony Markhouse Yeater, with Justin Bieber after a 30 second fling with the pop star at his October, 25 2010 concert at the Staples Center.

     In November, when speaking up about the allegations on The Today Show, Bieber said "I know I'm going to be a target, but I'm never going to be a victim. It's crazy, every night after the show I've gone right from the stage right to my car, so it's crazy some people want to make up such false allegations. But to set the record straight, none of it is true."

     Another person claiming that Yeater is lying is her ex-boyfriend Robert Powell.He claims that baby Tristyn is his, not Bieber's. He told RumorFix, "She lied." This was a scheme for them both to make money for their child.“She just picked him, because she thought he was famous and all and thought she could get a lot of money by telling the magazine Justin was the father. She just saw him as an opportunity to make a lot of money,” She sold her story to a tabloid for $50,000. She has still not put down a name for a father on her son's birth certificate either leaving everything a mystery. 

Maybe the late Michael Jackson was right. Some people will do anything for money...
