• Truth-Challenged Brian Williams Makes an Appearance with a Puppy in NYC

    Is Brian Williams getting ready to attempt a return to an anchor desk at NBC? Well his very public outing yesterday was nothing short of a PR handlers' dream. They always say that people love puppies and babies so it's probably no coincidence that Williams took a stroll with his family yesterday, while walking his daughter Allison William's new puppy named Moxie. Since being suspended from NBC News back in early February, Williams has stayed mostly out of the public eye. The timing of this pretty obvious photo opportunity is hardly coincidental

  • A Morality Clause in Brian Williams's Contract Will Determine His Fate at NBC

    Brian Williams has always had the ability to tell a great story. It is one of the things that has endeared him to NBC viewers for the last decade. Williams would be sent out in the field to work, and then when he popped up as a guest on a late-night talk show, the stories would be epic. Now we know that his tales may not have been rooted in truth and it is that embellishment problem that has prompted NBC to suspend Williams for six months without pay. There is already a debate over whether or not he will ever return, and the fallen anchor's fate may be decided by a morality clause in his contract.

  • Brian Williams Suspended From NBC for Six Months Without Pay for Compromising Network's Credibility

    It was obvious that NBC was going to have to take some kind of action against Brian Williams. Last night, the decision was announced that the fallen anchorman has been suspended for six months without pay for compromising the network's credibility. In the last two weeks, he has apologized for "misremembering" whether or not he had been in a chopper hit by RPG fire in 2003. The network has been investigating various instances in his reporting where he has made himself a heroic part of various stories, and apparently the bottom line is that their top guy has been pretty dishonest on a regular basis.

  • 'Love & Hip Hop Atlanta's' Joseline Hernandez Suspended from the Show for First Four Episodes Next Season

    Joseline Hernandez has served as a real lightening rod for trouble and the producers of "Love & Hip Hop Atlanta" seem to really love that about her. However, her behavior during the last reunion show was extreme, even for her. The entire cast sat on the stage all but begging VH1 to fire her after she and her equally messy man, Stevie J were both escorted from the premises by security. Many thought that she would be fired and while producers weren't about to let their biggest start slip through their fingers, she has had her wrist slapped.

  • Russian Tennis Federation's President Shamil Tarpischev Fined, Suspended Over 'Sexist' Remarks About Serena, Venus Williams

    When Shamil Tarpischev, president of the Russian Tennis Federation, sat down for a joint interview with former Russian tennis star Elena Dementieva on "Evening Urgant," he thought he would be able to crack a few jokes to warm up the audience. Instead, Tarpischev crossed the line almost instantly by taking a shot at Venus and Serena Williams — two of the biggest names in tennis. While laughing, Tarpischev referred to the ladies as "The Williams brothers," a comment that left Dementieva looking stunned as the audience did not know how to react. He ultimately got fined and suspended over his "sexist" remarks.

The week began with that horrific video of Ray Rice punching his wife, Janay Palmer and within hours he was fired from the Baltimore Ravens team and suspended indefinitely.
