Darren Wilson Resigns from Ferguson Police Department, Will Receive No Severance Package

The fact that Darren Wilson has officially resigned from the Ferguson Police Department comes as no surprise to anyone. Once the grand jury decided against indicting Wilson last Monday, Nov. 24, in the shooting death of Michael Brown, it technically meant that he was free to return to active duty with the Ferguson department, but in reality that was never going to happen, and Wilson was the first to admit it.Death threats have been made against the department and Wilson was clear on the fact that if he returned to duty he was not only risking his own safety, but also that of his fellow officers.It was never a matter of if he would resign, but when and yesterday, Nov. 29, ended up being the day, according to CNN. While Wilson has been out on paid leave since the Aug. 9 shooting, officials confirmed today that his resignation does not include a severance package of any kind. As of yesterday, Wilson is off the Ferguson payroll and he also does not have health insurance to help counter the cost of his new wife's pregnancy bills.
'Jersey Shore' Nicole Polizzi Has Finally Married Jionni LaValle

It is kind of funny now to think back on Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi's days as a cast member on "Jersey Shore." Who would have thought that just a few short years after schlepping around on the boardwalk in slippers, drunk more often than not, she would now be an adult mother of two? Just to sweeten the deal, Polizzi finally married her longtime love Jionni LaValle yesterday, Nov. 29, in New Jersey.While she may have traded in beer bottles for baby bottles, Polizzi still likes to party, and it seems that no one was left out of yesterday's festivities. The wedding party was 32 people deep and Polizzi and LaValle's guest list had 500 names on it! All of the little kids in her family had a role in the actual ceremony, with Polizzi's 2-year-old son Lorenzo carrying a sign that said, "Daddy here comes mommy" before she walked down the aisle.Jenni "JWoww" Farley served as a bridesmaid and other "Jersey Shore" cast mates in attendance included Samantha Giancola and Deena Cortese.

Mickey Rourke Defeats 29-Year-Old Elliot Seymour in First Boxing Match in Two Decades

Mickey Rourke may have been away from the boxing ring for 20 years but you wouldn't have known it when he knocked out his 29-year old opponent, Elliot Seymour, yesterday in Moscow Russia. Luzhniki Stadium was the location where former Golden Gloves winner, Seymour, didn't seem to even try to get a good punch or two in before Rourke was declared the champ.
Are Rosie O'Donnell's Days on 'The View' Already Numbered?

We recently told you how Rosie O'Donnell and Whoppi Goldberg have been clashing on nearly everything while trying to work together as co-hosts on ABC's "The View". The show has been in a total state of flux this season with Barbra Walters gone from the roundtable and two new ladies trying to find their footing behind such heavyweights as O'Donnell and Goldberg. Unfortunately, in all of the chaos the ratings have taken a significant dip and both stars are blaming each other.
Kardashian Family Pushes Khloé to Dump French Montana Before Holiday Season

Khloé Kardashian and French Montana may have reunited just in time to promote "Kourtney & Khloe Take the Hamptons" but that doesn't mean that it has been an easy and smooth reunion. Montana's motives have always been questioned by Kardashian's family, with them assuming that he might be using her to get ahead in the business. They took a break last September with rumors swirling that Montana might have been caught cheating and unfortunately, some think he's still playing the reality star.
Ray Rice's Suspension from NFL Lifted as 'Today' Prepares to Air Interview with Janay Palmer Rice Next Week

Ray Rice finally won the war to preserve his career on Friday, and his suspension from the NFL has been lifted, effective immediately. That means that if Rice can find a team willing to sign his this late in the season he may actually get some play time in before the next Super Bowl. Back in early September an elevator surveillance video was released that showed Rice knocking his now-wife, Janay Palmer, out cold with one punch, then dragging her off the elevator. He was handed an indefinite suspension after NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell seemed to barely offer up a slap on the wrist last spring.
Australian Cricketer Phil Hughes Dies After Being Hit In the Head in Freak Accident

t's a sad day in the sports world as it has been confirmed that 25-year old Phil Hughes, an Australian Cricketer has succumbed to a head injury that occurred during a match two days ago. Hughes was fatally injured when hit by a "bouncer," a short ball that bounces up towards the batsman's torso, near his left ear. The ball somehow managed to hit Hughes at the top of his neck, in spite of his helmet because he just so happened to swivel at that moment. Hughes suffered a massive bleed to his brain almost instantly and never recovered from a medically induced coma.
'RHOA's' Phaedra Parks is Trying to Forget Jailbird Apollo Nida Even Exists

Phaedra Parks may have filed for divorce from Apollo Nida, but that doesn't mean that the drama is over for "The Real Housewives of Atlanta" star. After resorting to fraudulent measures to try and support his family, Nida was finally busted for identity theft and other financial crimes. He turned himself in to authorities last September to begin serving an 8-year sentence and the reality show was filming during his last few weeks of freedom. Cameras caught Nida losing his mind because his wife was backing away from him rather than supporting him. Parks has caught some backlash from fans too for coming across a bit vindictive.
Is French Montana After Khloe Kardashian's Money?

In recent weeks it has definitely looked like Khloe Kardashian has reconciled with French Montana after a brief break in their relationship. Once the current season of "Kourtney & Khloe Take the Hamptons" began airing, documenting the early days of their romance, Kardashian and Montana seemed to gravitate back together. How serious these two actually are can be kind of tricky to get a good read on because Kardashian has wished out loud that she was still happily married to Lamar Odom and talked about being Montana's wife shortly thereafter.
Authenticity is Why We Still Remember the 'Sex And The City' Post-It-Note Episode

Liz Tuccillo may not be a name that you're familiar with but if you're a "Sex and the City" fan then you definitely do know her work. Tuccillo wrote the infamous Post-It-Note episode, you know, the one where shortly after reconciling, Berger (played by Ron Livingston) breaks up with Carrie (Sarah Jessica Parker) by leaving her a post-it-note that simply said, "I'm sorry, I can't, don't hate me." A decade later and this is still one of the most popular episodes and being dumped a' la post-it-note has become a bit of a punchline.
Melissa Rivers is Hosting Thanksgiving Dinner in Honor of Her Mother in NYC

Melissa Rivers has been working hard to move on from the untimely death of her beloved mother, Joan Rivers, back in September. We now know that the circumstances surrounding the comedienne's death were likely due to mistakes made by the healthcare professionals that she was trusting, and that Melissa has already hired a bulldog law firm to insist on some level of legal accountability. This is one of Melissa's top priorities right now but she also realizes that life must go on so she's going to celebrate Thanksgiving exactly as Joan would have.
Tori Spelling Will Continue 'True Tori' Even Though It's Ruining Her Marriage to Dean McDermott

If you are someone who has been watching Tori Spelling's train wreck of a reality show "True Tori" on Lifetime, then you have already seen firsthand what a mess her marriage is. When her husband Dean McDermott's affair became public knowledge nearly a year ago, the actress decided to make the personal crisis the platform for her latest reality show, and so True Tori was born. While McDermott initially agreed to look like a fool on camera and was willing to shoulder most of the blame during their filmed therapy sessions, almost a year has passed, and it seemed that they have gotten nowhere. McDermott is now refusing to film anymore because it, quite obviously, is not fixing anything, according to "Us Weekly."Spelling sat for an interview today on "The Meredith Vieira Show," and she once again explained and tried to justify continuing on with a show that, at this point, might actually be killing her marriage.She said, "We let it all hang out. I don't [think I reveal too much] because if everything hadn't been made as public as it was, I would've chosen to deal with this privately with my husband. We're talking about the affair that my husband had almost a year ago. I chose to deal with it because it was my journey, it was my truth. Women everywhere go through this and I wanted to put it out there. It's completely cathartic for me and it's very individual.

Julianne Hough and Len Goodman Will Return to Judge Season 20 of 'DWTS' Next Spring

It has not even been 24 hours since Season 19 of "Dancing with the Stars" wrapped up and already there is talk about what to expect from Season 20 next spring! The show will actually be celebrating its 10th anniversary, and major plans are underway to switch things up while securing some of the things and players that have worked.Rob Wade, the show's executive producer, recently talked to The Wrap about Julianne Hough's contribution as a drug this past season and how quickly she managed to gel with the rest of the panel."I think the ballroom experience and the dance experience and the star quality and vibrancy that Julianne has brought to the panel has been exceptional. I also think that the way that Carrie Ann [Inaba], Bruno [Tonioli] and Len [Goodman] have embraced her and have individually been so great this season, as well, has been wonderful. I think it shows their character that they can do that. The three of them have been absolutely wonderful in welcoming Julianne in and I think it has been lovely to watch," said Wade.
'RHONJ' Teresa Giudice Is Getting Those Divorce Papers Ready as Marriage to Joe Giudice Is in Ruins

Teresa Giudice is scheduled to surrender to authorities at a prison camp in Connecticut Jan. 5, a stint that will ultimately keep her locked away from her kids for 15 months. One of the ways that "The Real Housewives of New Jersey" star is dealing with her temporary fate is by beginning to plan for her life afterward. Once she is released, her husband Joe Giudice will immediately begin serving a 41-month sentence for a string of financial crimes, and it is unlikely that they will be married once he is a free man.According to a report by the "Daily Mail," Teresa is already planning on having Joe served with divorce papers shortly after he is locked up. She is already furious that she trusted his business dealings only to find herself a convicted felon who needs to serve prison time. The reality star has insisted that she was prone to signing things that her husband put in front of her without really understanding what the documents actually were. As time has gine on, Teresa has found the resentment growing and she knows that it will only be worse once she is locked up while Joe is still walking free.
WWE Delays 'New Day' Faction Out of Sensitivity for Unrest in Ferguson

The WWE has built an empire on creating larger-than-life characters who still seem to have at least one foot in the real world. The organization pays close attention to what is hot on the Internet and also how the U.S. in general interacts with other countries. It is no coincidence that Russian characters have been brought in to play the bad guy at certain points in time when our relationship with Russian President Vladimir Putin is more than a little strained. It shows that it is paying attention to all sorts of issues outside of its organization and finding ways to connect with the fans on several levels at once.But every now and then a hot-button topic will come along that is too dicey even for World Wrestling Entertainment to touch, and the riots and protests in Ferguson, Missouri, have actually altered storyline plans.WWE was originally planning a big push for a new faction, according to Wrestling Inc., that includes Kofi Kingston, Xavier Woods and Big E. They started popping up here and there but were not being given the kind of time that longtime fans could easily have expected. In recent weeks, the trio have been dubbed "The New Day" and have been the focus of several vignettes. This new faction is now on track to debut on "WWE Monday Night Raw" next week, so fans will finally learn more about them.According to Wrestling Inc., the stable's delay is directly related to the unrest in Ferguson. WWE believes that, quite obviously, racial tension is what is lying at the root of the protesting in Missouri, and while it as an organization will not take sides, it also did not want to do anything that could be perceived as contributing to the problem.
Most of the Kardashian Family Will Be Spending Thanksgiving as Far from Kris Jenner as They Can Get!

Remember when part of the magical effect that the Kardashian family had on people was the ability to make fans jealous? It really did seem, at least for a little while, that life as a member of Kris Jenner's extended family would be simply amazing. Now, a few years after the bottom began falling out, even the most die-hard of fans know otherwise.It was all an illusion especially created for reality television and, unfortunately, Jenner's true reality seems to get more dismal by the week. After confirming that she is dating 25-year-old Corey Gamble, even her kids are refusing to come home for Thanksgiving!Kendall and Kylie Jenner were especially crushed by Kris's divorce from their father Bruce Jenner, and they often side with him. According to Radar Online, both girls are refusing to even deal with their mom's new man and will be spending the holiday with their father. Kourtney Kardashian's relationship with Scott Disick is a mess, so they are passing on Kris's invite. Khloé and Rob Kardashian are both unpredictable and dealing with their own issues, so they are likely to stay away, too. The only family members who are confirmed to be spending Thanksgiving at the family compound are Kim Kardashian and her little family, and that is likely because they still live there!
Jennifer Aniston's 'Cake' Shut Out of Independent Spirit Award Nominations

This is supposed to be Jennifer Aniston's year. She decided to get really brave and un-pretty for her new role in Cake, in which she plays a depressed chronic pain sufferer. It is actually exactly the kind of part she needed to take in order to prove that she could portray someone other than a character similar to Rachel Green from "Friends" on the big screen. Aniston has won over audiences that have already seen her new indie flick — so much so that Oscar buzz has been swirling like crazy around her. That is why it comes as a semi-shock that Cake did not grab even a single nomination for the 2015 Independent Spirit Awards.The list of nominations was released yesterday, and Aniston was not in it. The Independent Spirit Awards nomination list is what technically kicks off awards season, and everything from this point on is just another step toward Oscar. Aniston, after months of Hollywood invisibility, has really been hitting the bricks to promote Cake. She has even shown up for various parties that are considered necessary to attend if you want the Academy to take you seriously.
ABC News Gets Exclusive First Interview with Ferguson's Darren Wilson

Less than 24 hours after learning that there would be no indictment in the fatal shooting of 18-year-old Michael Brown, we were all handed embattled Ferguson Police Officer Darren Wilson's first interview. While it was confirmed that Wilson had met with several journalists last week, he ultimately decided to speak on the record with ABC News heavyweight George Stephanopoulos, according to Yahoo! News.It was the first time Wilson has been seen in public in months, and he told his side of what happened during that violent altercation with Brown Aug. 9. According to "Time" magazine, Wilson claims that he feels like his conscience is cleared because he was doing his job by the book, and if he did not stop Brown, then he knew he would have been killed by him. He also made it clear that from his standpoint race was irrelevant and it would have ended the same way even if Brown had been white.
After Rumors of a Split, Kourtney Kardashian is Spotted with Party Boy and Baby Daddy Scott Disick

Kourtney Kardashian has been on the relationship merry-go-round with party boy, Scott Disick, for over eight years now and for a brief moment, it looked like she was finally done. Last weekend, Kardashian posted cryptic messages alluding to a split on her Instagram account while Disick did what he does best, -- he partied with his crew in Vegas. Just when it looked like they were finally done, Disick and the 8-months-pregnant Kardashian were spotted out in Calabasas together late Monday.
Chris 'CT' Tamburello Proposed to Diem Brown Five Days Before Her Death

Fans of MTV's "The Challenge" are likely familiar with Diem Brown and Chris "CT" Tamburello's love story. They first met and fell in love on the show in 2006 and spent the next several years making up only to break up. Friends of the couple have said that while their relationship was complicated, Brown and Tamburello had a lot of love for each other, even when they were off. On Nov. 14, Brown died due to complications caused by the cancer that had spread throughout her body, but in her final days Tamburello worked hard to make their status official.According to "Us Weekly," just five days before Brown's death Tamburello burst into her hospital room and filmed a proposal that included a ruby ring. Brown shot him down, joking that she hated rubies, and so the next day he returned with a different ring. Brown knew her days were numbered, and she was struggling to find an alternative treatment that might buy her a little more time. She reportedly did not want to be engaged under those circumstances, and she likely knew that in the end it might make it harder for Tamburello to move on after her death.
'RHONJ' Teresa Giudice Is Trying to Force Her Husband Into Rehab to Delay Her Own Prison Time

Desperate times call for desperate measures, and it sounds like Teresa Giudice is willing to do anything to postpone her 15-month jail stay. The star of "The Real Housewives of New Jersey" has admitted that since being sentenced that her husband, Joe Giudice, has a drinking problem. In fact, his defense team tried to use his addiction to try and sway the judge toward sending him to rehab rather than jail for his string of financial crimes. That did not work, but now Teresa has found a way for her husband's battle with booze to actually help her.According to a report by Radar Online, Teresa is supposedly pushing hard for Joe to check himself into a rehab facility ahead of her Jan. 5 surrender date. Apparently, she is hoping that if Joe were to go to rehab, then her attorney could petition the court to change her surrender date. The judge in this case has said she does not want the Giudices's four daughters to be left at home without a parent, so she probably would be willing to change Teresa's date if her husband were to decide to get help.
NBC's Tom Brokaw Makes Other Networks Jealous By Scoring a Lengthy Interview with Angelina Jolie

Angelina Jolie has been working hard to promote her new film "Unbroken," which is the story of Louis Zamperini's life from Olympic long-distance runner to World War II prisoner of war. She has worked closely with NBC and let it into her tight circle as it works on a documentary about Zamperini and how she has brought his story to the big screen.Tom Brokaw has spent quite a bit of time with Jolie in recent months, and this morning, Nov. 25, on "Today" we caught a glimpse of his exclusive sit-down interview with her.Aside from this huge project, Jolie has had a lot of other things going on in her life, including her recent marriage to Brad Pitt. Brokaw took the time to ask Jolie about their new status as husband and wife after already spending a decade together.
Suri Cruise Is Already a Details-Oriented Perfectionist

Remember when little Suri Cruise was always clutching a blanket while being carried by Katie Holmes, or that short period of time when Tom Cruise justified his toddler daughter wearing kitten heels and real lipstick just like her mother does? Well, those days are long gone and Holmes has spent the last few years primarily raising her daughter in the bustle of New York City. When we see Suri out and about, now she looks age-appropriate but apparently some of her father's traits have been passed on to her.Holmes turned up on Ellen DeGeneres's show Monday, Nov. 24, for a chat and they ended up discussing life with Suri. As it turns out, the 8-year-old is already a meticulous perfectionist and things do not go well if you mess up her agenda. Holmes was discussing Christmas in her house and how plans are already in place — or else.
Kate Middleton Is Struggling to Keep Pregnancy Weight on While Working Again

Kate Middleton stepped out in Norwich, England, today in support of East Anglia's Hospices' Norfolk Capital Appeal, and once again she raised eyebrows with a bright red dress and a teased ponytail. We recently told you that Middleton has been attempting to sex up her style just a little bit by making purposefully different choices every time she walks out the door. Middleton's plan has definitely been working, as no one would accuse her of looking the least bit dowdy. She also is not looking very pregnant either, and it is starting to concern those around her.Middleton is approximately 18 weeks pregnant, and as you can see from today's photos, she barely has any baby bump. Obviously, her extended battle with morning sickness has likely prevented the duchess from gaining weight consistently this time around — at least so far. Middleton was relatively small when she delivered Prince George in July 2013, so she may not be the kind of woman who will put on a lot of pregnancy pounds.This time around is different, though, because she is also chasing after George, something that is not an easy task when she is already feeling rundown and drained.
CNN's Don Lemon Puts His Foot in His Mouth Again, This Time While Reporting from Ferguson

CNN's Don Lemon has been having a really rough time lately, and it basically has been his own doing. Last week he caught some major backlash after insinuating to Joan Tarshis, one of Bill Cosby's rape accusers, that she could have bit him to prevent the alleged assault. Now his reporting from Ferguson, Missouri, has also come under fire.Shortly after it was announced that Darren Wilson would not be indicted for fatally shooting 18-year-old Michael Brown, CNN's reporters were taking turns updating viewers at home on what was unfolding in front of them. Lemon and Anderson Cooper were discussing the chaos, and Lemon said that protestors were jumping on cars and he heard gunshots off in the distance. Then after a pause, Lemon followed up that assessment with:"Obviously, there's a smell of marijuana in the air."That detail was not obvious to anyone else, it seemed, as the rest of CNN's crew was too busy running for cover from tear gas and smoke bombs to notice any potential pot in the air. Once again, Twitter lit up with backlash against Lemon because he just cannot seem to keep from making insensitive comments on live television.
Did Bill Cosby Give a Story to the Press About His Drug-Addicted Daughter to Silence Them on His Bad Behavior?

Every day at least one new Bill Cosby story hits the press, and they seem to be getting worse, if that is even possible. Countless women have come forward in the last two weeks, according to Yahoo!, telling similar stories that seem to paint Cosby at worst as a serial rapist or at least as a man who has used his fame to control others. Nearly every allegation has been made by someone who did not know the actor well, which is why the most recent story is so unsettling.According to Page Six, a reporter who used to work for the "National Enquirer" divulged details that, if true, kind of insinuate that Cosby is certainly not the best father, either. Supposedly, back in 1989 the magazine had a salacious story on Cosby swinging in Las Vegas with Sammy Davis Jr. and some show girls. At that point in time, Cosby's sitcom was the No. 1 show in America and he had been stereotyped as a father figure, so it was the kind of scandal he could not afford.Apparently, Cosby wheeled-and-dealed with the "Enquirer" and he gave it a different story to run, one about his then-23-year-old daughter Erinn, who had substance abuse issues. Cosby reportedly gave it all sorts of inside details on Erinn's drug and alcohol abuse with the understanding that it would not run the story on his own bad behavior.
Kris Jenner Insists that Another Divorce Would Kill Kim Kardashian's Career

Kim Kardashian's track record for love has been less than stellar. With two divorces already under her belt, she tends to choose the wrong men. While Kardashian has claimed that Kanye West is her true love and perfect match, we are hearing that behind the scenes things are hardly smooth between them. In the past, whenever Kardashian's relationships have gotten tricky, she would start to look for an exit plan, but momager Kris Jenner has already forbidden her from doing it this time, according to WebProNews.According to Radar Online, Jenner has already told her daughter that her career will never survive another divorce. As it is, whatever remaining fans she has still tend to think that Kardashian's second ill-fated marriage to Kris Humphries was more for their reality show than anything else. She cannot afford to have fans contemplating out loud whether or not she married West just to gain more fame while hoping to become better respected in Hollywood.
Ferguson Protesters Riot, Loot, Set Fires as Grand Jury Decides Not to Indict Darren Wilson in the Death of Michael Brown

The worst-case scenario is what has unfolded in Ferguson, Missouri, after a 12-person grand jury failed to indict officer Darren Wilson on any criminal charges in the death of 18-year-old Michael Brown in August. While Brown's family pled for peaceful protests, that was not what several black militia groups, such as the RgB Black Rebels, had in mind. Police in riot gear failed to control protestors, according to AOL, who went from throwing rocks to torching several of their own local businesses in just a few hours last night, Nov. 24.Prosecuting attorney Bob McCulloch said the jury met on 25 separate days over the course of three months, hearing more than 70 hours of testimony from about 60 witnesses, including three medical examiners and experts on blood, toxicology and firearms. In the end, they ultimately believed Wilson's account of what had occurred between him and Brown. It is also important to note that the physical evidence also guided the jurors in making their final decision.Many seemed to feel that McCulloch completely dropped the ball in his defiant delivery of the grand jury's decision. He was in a position to attempt to unite both sides by his tone and empathy for the loss of Brown's life and how it has crushed the teen's family. Instead, McCulloch seemed to inflame protestors even more and the end result was disastrous, according to Yahoo!
