Ouch!
(tbo.com)- The game started badly for South Florida, and it only got worse from there, ending in the first regular-season shutout loss in USF's 13-year history.

The Bulls muffed kick returns, dropped passes, allowed six sacks, threw interceptions and lost fumbles – all those miscues and more played a role in USF's 31-0 loss Thursday night. Oh, and a blocked punt to add to USF's continued misery against Big East nemesis Rutgers, which has now defeated the Bulls four consecutive seasons.

The first half was so atrocious for the Bulls that Coach Jim Leavitt became perhaps one of the first men in America to run away from ESPN sideline reporter Erin Andrews as she approached at the end of the first half. When Andrews finally caught up, Leavitt didn't have much to say. More...

Stop the Meep!
(AP)- Who knew "Meep!" was a four-letter word? The utterance favored by bungling lab assistant Beaker of "The Muppet Show" has been banned at Danvers High School in Massachusetts after students said it to repeatedly interrupt school.

Principal Thomas Murray said the word was part of a disruption planned using Facebook.

The Salem News reports that parents recently got an automated call about "Meep!" from Murray. He warned them that students who said or displayed the word at school could be suspended.

Murray says the warning was needed because students didn't heed his "reasonable request" to stop the meeping. More...

Just Let Her Have Her Moment!
(usweekly.com)- On Wednesday, Taylor Swift became the youngest artist ever to win the Country Music Association Awards' top honor: Entertainer of the Year.
 
But Wynonna Judd doesn't think Swift, 19, is ready for such a top honor.
 
"You want my honest comment? It’s too much too soon," the singer told USA Today before the show. "Time is God’s way of keeping everything from happening at once. It’s just too much of a good thing too soon."
 
Judd, 45, added: "My thing is, being a home-school mom, I want kids to earn it, and I think some time ... 'cause mom and I rode in a car for the first year of our career to visit radio stations. There was a making of the star, there was a rising up, and the fans went with us.
 
"Now it’s over coffee breaks, the success, almost," she added. "You have to play catch up ... It's like the girl who wins an Oscar and she's under 20. What do you do from here?" More...
 
 Is Carrie Jealous?
(x17online.com)- Swift accepted the award and was being escorted off the stage, when Brad began, "How 'bout that? Nineteen-years old...Congratulations, Taylor. What a night. I can't even imagine a better...." But Carrie quickly interrupted him, saying, "And how were we? We were awesome!" More...
 




Send Him to Jail!

(TMZ.com)- Michael Lohan could wind up behind bars for his despicable decision to release secret recordings of his family's phone conversations -- because it appears MiLo wasn't legally allowed to be on the calls in the first place.
 
It's all over a protective order Dina obtained in Nassau County, New York back in 2005, which bans Michael from communicating with Dina by email or phone until 2011.

Now, the release of the tapes, one of which was reportedly made in 2008, could be a smoking gun, proving Michael broke the rules of the protective order -- and, if convicted, it could score Michael some quality time in prison. More...

Chimp Attack Victim Reveals Her Face
(huffingtonpost.com)- Charla Nash, the Connecticut woman mauled by a 200 pound chimpanzee in February, appeared on "Oprah" Wednesday to reveal her face and share heartbreaking details on her life since the attack.

Nash who turned 56 Tuesday revealed "the remnants of her missing eyes, nose and lips," as ABC News described it.

Nash told Oprah that she feels no pain but that she tries not to touch her face so as to avoid knowing the full extent of her injuries.

"I don't ask a whole lot about my injuries... I know that I have my forehead," she said. She now drinks her meals "with a straw through a small hole where her mouth used to be," ABC added.

Nash lost both her hands in the attack, as well as her nose, an eyelid, and lips. Doctors removed her eyes due to an infection, and only recently did she learn she'll no longer be able to see. More...

Go Bulls
(tbo.com)- Last year the scoreboard at Raymond James Stadium told the story the loudest as Leavitt and his players walked off the field that night a year ago: Rutgers 49, South Florida 16.

 

The 33-point defeat is the largest conference loss in the five years the Bulls have been in the Big East. The only time the Bulls lost by a wider margin in the past five seasons was a 56-21 loss to Oregon in the 2007 Sun Bowl.

 

Tonight at a hostile Rutgers Stadium and before a national TV audience, the Bulls are determined to erase those painful memories of a year ago and snap a three-game losing streak to Rutgers.

 

"Rutgers is a game that we definitely marked on our calendar after how they beat us last year," Daniels said. "This is a game that's important to us.

 

"We definitely want to come out on point and ready to go.” More...

Monkey on the Loose!
(tbo.com)- It's a monkey, not a raccoon, after all.

 

That's the latest word from East Tampa, where wildlife officials say they have confirmed the type of animal that's on the loose.

 

What's more, the monkey has left the tree where it had taken refuge earlier in the day, said Gary Morse of the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission.

 

Wildlife officials are now trying to track it down.

 

Morse said the monkey is a macaque, although he didn't know which species. The macaque typically is found from Africa to Japan.

 

"Don't corner it; don't feed it," Morse said. "Just give us a call.

 
"You could get bit. That could happen with any wild animal." More...


A Swift Sweep!
(AP)- All four of the guys who lost to Taylor Swift for entertainer of the year at the Country Music Association Awards made a tactical error: They asked the crossover sensation to open for them in their concerts.

 

Swift quickly shed her opener status and shook up the music world with an incredible year that included the best-selling album, a concert tour that sold out almost immediately and, now, a historic night at the CMAs that included becoming the youngest winner of the association's highest honor.

 

"Yeah, next year we're not going to take any opening acts out," Brad Paisley said jokingly.

 

The CMA's more than 5,000 members — often cited as a conservative bunch — seemed as taken with Swift as the rest of the music world has been. She won all four awards for which she was nominated, snapping Kenny Chesney's streak of four entertainer wins in the last five years and Carrie Underwood's three-year run as top female vocalist.

Mike Tyson Just Can't Stay Out of Trouble

(Reuters) – Former heavyweight boxing champion Mike Tyson was arrested on Wednesday after brawling with a celebrity photographer at Los Angeles International Airport and injuring the man's head, police said.

The photographer, who was not immediately identified, also was arrested. He suffered a cut to his forehead and was taken to a hospital. It was not known if Tyson was hurt.

"There's a lot of different versions to the story," Los Angeles Airport Police Sergeant Jim Holcomb said. "That's all going to come out later. But in this particular case, both individuals are going to be pressing charges for battery."

The Los Angeles Times, citing an unnamed source, said Tyson told police the photographer struck him in an attempt to provoke him, and the photographer claimed Tyson punched him in the face and tried to take film from his camera. More...

So He is Not Quitting?
(AP)- Aerosmith's guitarist Joe Perry says the future of the band is still uncertain.  

Perry said Wednesday that he thinks front man Steven Tyler wants to take some time off from the band — even though the two appeared together on a New York stage.

 

"As it stands, Steven wants to take a couple years off and do some of whatever he wants to do and the rest of the band wants to keep working," Perry said in a telephone interview.

 

"The band is a really well-oiled machine and we're going to work one way or another and I don't know what form that's going to take," he added. More...

Ewwwww!
(usmagazine.com)- Robert Pattinson stinks. Literally. The sought-after Twilight actor -- romantically linked to Kristen Stewart, his face adorning the bedroom walls of millions of fans -- warns would-be suitors to keep their distance or risk a certain aroma. 

In an interview posted by UK's New! magazine, Pattinson says that he rarely changes his clothes. "These jeans are a few days old," he says.

"But the top is probably fresh because it gets to the point where even I can't stand the air around me. I don't know, my personal hygiene – it's so disgusting!" He explains that his constant travel schedule pares down his wardrobe quite a bit. More…

Shocking Revelation!

(radaronline.com)- In a shocking revelation, Dina Lohan drops the bombshell that her daughter Lindsay was secretly dating Heath Ledger when he died and his death devastated her.

In the explosive recorded audio tape of a phone conversation between Dina and Michael Lohan, Dina says that Ledger and Lindsay had been dating at the time of his tragic death in January of 2008. "And she was dating Heath when he died," Dina reveals to Michael. "I don't know if you know that, but I know cause I would drop her off and they were friends very, very close, ok?" 

Dina told Michael about the relationship because she was afraid for Lindsay's life too: "Because when she's drunk or takes an Adderall with it she will do something like Heath Ledger did in a second without thinking." 

She said that the actor's death was a terrible shock to Lindsay. "That f----d her up," Dina says. CLICK HERE to hear the call.

 

Britney Finally Talks
(AP)- US pop icon Britney Spears has broken her silence on the lip-synching "controversy" surrounding her first Australian tour, saying she was only here for her fans.

 

Spears acknowledged there had been some bad press over her part-mimed 'Circus' show, including reports that disgruntled fans walked out of her Perth concert after just three songs.

 

"I hear there is a lot of controversy in the media about my show," the star said in a statement late Tuesday.

 

"Some reporters have said they love it and some don't. I came to Australia for my fans!"

 

Promoter Paul Dainty earlier said Spears was "extremely upset" by the walk-out claims, which he labelled the "biggest lie I've ever heard".

 

"It's unfortunate that one journalist in Perth didn't enjoy the show last night. Fortunately the other 18,272 fans in attendance did," one of Spears' staff wrote on social networking sites Facebook and Twitter. More...
