Lamar Odom and Khloe Kardashian to have own reality show

Khloe Kardashian and Lamar Odom will have their own reality show on E! According to US Weekly, the couple will start filming in the spring after Odom’s basketball season with the LA Lakers is over. Kardashian is no stranger to reality TV, she already stars in E!’s “Keeping Up with the Kardashian” and its spinoff “Khloe and Kourtney Take Miami.” But this particular spinoff will focus solely on Kardashian and Odom and will be similar to “Newlyweds.”

The couple have been married since last September when they surprised fans by announcing their engagement after three-weeks of dating. In the past, Kardashian has denied rumors that her and Odom were having their own reality show. If this doesn’t work out for them, Khole can always go on “Basketball Wives.”

Did surfer Andy Irons die of a methadone overdose?

Surfer legend Andy Irons died in November, and now his widow has filed a court release to block his autopsy. Lyndie Irons gave birth to Andy Irons child in December, she claims that releasing the results of the autopsy would do “immediate and irrevocable harm” to Irons’ branding image and would hurt herself and daughter financially.

Rumors first surfaced Andy Irons died of dengue fever, which being a surfer I don’t think anyone would argue, but information has began to leak out that Andy Irons may have been an overdose. Back in November, TMZ reported police found alprazolam and zolpidem in Andy Irons’ hotel room.

A Tarrant County, Texas judge has sided with Lyndie Irons and has blocked the autopsy until May 20.

Brett Favre fined $50,000 for Sterger text messages

After months of deliberating the NFL has fined Brett Favre $50,000 for sending former NY Jets sideline reporter Jenn Sterger inappropriate text messages. NFL commissioner Roger Goodell determined there was not sufficient enough evidence to determine if Favre violated the league’s player conduct policy, but instead fined Favre for failure to cooperate with the NFL’s investigation.

Sterger has threatened to press legal charges if the league did not take action. Under New Jersey law, Sterger cannot file sexual harassment charges because New Jersey statue of limitations only gives a person a two-year window. Sterger had until December 28, ironically one day before Goodell made his announcement.

In the NFL’s official statement:

The NFL office conducted an investigation to determine whether Brett Favre’s interaction with New York Jets game-day employee Jenn Sterger in 2008 violated the NFL Personal Conduct Policy.

In reviewing the matter, the sole focus was on whether there was a violation of league policies regarding conduct in the workplace. NFL policies do not extend to private conduct or make judgments about the appropriateness of personal relationships, except where that conduct or those relationships raise issues under the law or league policies.

The investigation included an analysis of publicly available reports; a series of interviews with knowledgeable individuals, including Sterger and Favre; a review of communications between the two furnished to our office; and independent forensic analysis of electronically stored material. The investigation was limited in several respects because the conduct occurred in 2008 but was not brought to our attention until this fall. As a result, certain records and individuals were unavailable to the NFL.

The announcement comes three months after the league first announced it was investigating and during the final week of the regular season. The league has been criticized for its slow decision making, but you know how reliable cell phone service is…

UPDATE: Jenn Sterger and her lawyers released a statment saying they were disappointed but not surprised at the NFL’s ruling.

Referee flips off Columbus Blue Jackets fans

An NHL referee flipped off two Columbus Blue Jackets fans while he officiated a game against the Minnesota Wild.

The Columbus Dispatch reports after referee Paul Devorski missed a penalty call, two fans in the front row heckled the 22-year veteran. That’s when Devorski turned to the fans and made a crying gesture and used his middle finger while pretending to cry.

“Two guys in front of us started giving the refs (grief) after they clearly missed a call,” said Ritter Hoy, who was seated five rows up from the glass in section 109. “Happens at every game, right?

“Well, the No. 10 official put his fingers up and rubbed his eyes and made a crying face, like ‘what are you going to do, cry?’ They started giving him more (grief) and he put his middle finger up to his chin and acted like he was scratching his face. It was very, very blatant. The whole section saw it and went crazy.”

The Blue Jackets lost in a shootout 4-3. The Wild were given seven power plays to the Columbus’ zero. The league is investigating the accusations.
