Detroit Lions fans protesting Thanksgiving halftime show

There are a lot of great musicians from Detroit, Bob Segar, Kid Rock, Aretha Franklin, Alice Cooper, Madonna… but Nickleback is not one of them. So Detroiters did not act so kindly when it was announced Nickleback would perform at the annual Thanksgiving Detroit Lions game.

Fans started an online petition protesting the gig and collected 10,000 signatures in just 24-hours. After years of bad teams and a 2008 0-16 season, the Thanksgiving Classic will be competitive, as the 6-2 Lions face the undefeated Green Bay Packers. Detroit battled critics to keep their Thanksgiving game, after NFL fans rallied to rotate teams on an annual basis with a playoff contender.

With the nation watching the Lions, the petition begs the league to reconsider: “The Lions ought to think about their fans before choosing such an awful band to play at halftime.”

Besides the members of Nickelback are Canadian anyway who celebrate Thanksgiving in early October.

Kim Kardashian secret lunch date with Reggie Bush

Is Reggie Bush the other man in the Kim Kardashian-Kris Humphries divorce? Kardashian filed for divorce from her husband just after 72-days of marriage, and now there are reports she may have met up with her ex-boyfriend just days before. According to MediaTakeOut.com: “Kim knew that Reggie was in town to play the Giants, so she asked him to meet for lunch.”

Although the Miami Dolphins running back originally turned her down, Mother Nature intervened and his flight arrived in NYC earlier than expected because of the East Coast snow storm. The two dined at high end sushi restaurant Bar Messa in a private booth.

Kardashian and Bush dated on and off for three years, and Kardashian spoke openly about how she desired to marry the former Heisman trophy winner In a statement released by Humphries, the NJ Nets basketball player says, “I love my wife and am devastated to learn she filed for divorce … I’m willing to do whatever it takes to make it work.”

Despite being dumped by Kardashian, the good news for Humphries is that he now has a good chance at winning an NBA Championship!

Kris Humhries wasn’t Kim Kardashian’s first choice

It’s been 72-days and Kim Kardashian has already filed for divorce from Kris Humphries. But was Humphries Kim K’s first choice for a husband? Wetpaint.com is reporting the Kardashian camp originally approached New York Knicks Danilo Gallinari to date the reality star.

According to the site: “They asked if he would be interested in dating her and being on a reality show,” a source said. “Danilo said he would love to meet Kim but was not interested in dating her or being on a reality show, even though E! explained it would be great for his career, Gallinari turned the offer down.”

As Thejerseychaser posted back in December, Gallinari was linked to Gossip Girl star Michelle Trachtenberg. Despite being a “reality” show, Kim needed a storyline for the first season of “Kim and Kourtney Take New York” and wanted to date a New York athlete.

While Gallinari may have been approached, Kardashian and Humphries say they met after Kim spotted Kris at a Nets game and had a mutual friend introduce each other. Humphries Nets teammate Jordan Farmar told US Weekly he introduced the two: “I introduced them in New York and they have come a long way since. They both fit each other. He is a good kid. He is from the country … So he kind of slows it down, and she is fast paced and has a lot of stuff going on, so they kind of balance each other out.”

For as famous as Kardashian is, she sure has a thing for mediocre athletes.
