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.

Supposedly, Shannon has been dating Mark McDaniel, a man who served 10 years in prison for molesting her then-8-year-old daughter Anna Cardwell.

    Kate Gosselin, formerly of "Kate Plus 8," has been brushing off rumors about her dating her bodyguard Steve Neild for years. She has insisted that he is just part of the hired help and Neild's wife, Gina, has posted family photos on Facebook a few times this year to try to quiet the rumor mill.The problem is that random strangers pop up reporting seeing Gosselin and Neild out together, and they always look cozy.

  • Kristian Alfonso Throws a Bit of Shade at the Notion of Peter Reckell Returning to 'Days of Our Lives'

    Way back in the 1980s, soap operas were filled with supercouples, with one of the biggest being "Days of our Lives's" Bo and Hope Brady, played by Peter Reckell and Kristian Alfonso. The two quickly garnered a huge fan base that, even to this day, still rallies for them to reunite. Reckell and Alfonso returned to "Days" in the '90s and had an intertwined storyline until his character was sent packing a few years ago.Reckell has said he understood that his departure was basically making room for younger leading men and that it goes with the territory. But he has never agreed with how his character left town and believes the fans deserved better than what they got.In October, a series of tweets by Reckell led fans to think there was the possibility of him returning to "Days." He later admitted that he did make some calls to producers because he believed there was a logical reason to bring him back onto the canvas. In a recent interview, Alfonso could not have agreed any less and thought that bringing the character of Bo back just to allow Hope to move on was ridiculous.

  • Charlie Hunnam Thinks That Playing Christian Grey Would Have Been Disastrous

    When Charlie Hunnam's name was first attached to the film adaptation of "Fifty Shades of Grey," there was an instantaneous reaction by women everywhere. Those not too familiar with Hunnam's work seemed to think he did not exactly look like their mental image of Christian Grey, and those who already liked the "Sons of Anarchy" star thought his rough-and-tumble style might be a perfect fit. Hunnam pulled out of the film adaptation pretty quickly and, of course, rumors took over. Did he not have chemistry with Dakota Johnson, the woman who needs to play a convincing Anastasia Steele, or were the scripts garbage?Hunnam insisted it really was bad timing, an excuse many were not ready to accept because surely he already had his schedule when he first agreed to the role, right? Well, Hunnam is covering the December 2014 issue of "Men's Health" — to perfection — and in the accompanying interview he explains the real story about backing out of Fifty Shades of Grey.
