Manti Te’o Responds to Girlfriend Death Hoax, Claims Victimhood
Manti Te’o has spoken out about the Lennay Kekua death hoax, as it’s now been verified that the Notre Dame linebacker was never dating a Stanford student by that name last year.
But the Heisman Trophy finalist is denying reports that he played a role in duping America, instead releasing a statement that says he fell victim to someone on the Internet.
“This is incredibly embarrassing to talk about, but over an extended period of time, I developed an emotional relationship with a woman I met online. We maintained what I thought to be an authentic relationship by communicating

Chad Johnson Sex Tape: Offline!
Chad Johnson can no longer be seen doing the deed online, thanks to an angry cease and desist letter sent to the two websites who initially shared that imagery.
Two blogs posted images of a three-year-old video showing the longtime NFL star all kinds of up in some heavily-tattooed female on Christmas Day.
Nice stocking stuffer. They caved quickly to legal pressure, TMZ reports.
After receiving a pissed off letter from his lawyer claiming the Chad Johnson sex tape was stolen property they did not have the right to publish, the video was yanked.
Score one for the former Mr.

We all know Viagra can help men score.
But can that little blue pill make a difference when an NFL running back needs to cross the goal line in a very difference sense?
Chicago Bears wide receiver Brandon Marshall made headlines today when he told reporters of a certain performance enhancing drug:
“I’ve heard of some crazy stories. I’ve heard guys using like Viagra, seriously. Because the blood is supposedly thin… some crazy stuff.”
However, the company behind this magic medicine says any athlete popping its drug should be aware:
The pills “indicated solely for the

Dancing With the Stars Top 5: Who Will Prevail?
Following last night’s somewhat surprising Dancing With the Stars results, Gilles Marini and Kirstie Alley are out and only five All-Stars remain in the hunt.
Two Olympians. One NFL great. One soap opera staple. One winner of The Bachelor who got dumped for the runner-up. It’s a diverse and talented field!
Melissa Rycroft has dominated in the past two weeks, but Apolo Ohno, Emmitt Smith, Shawn Johnson and Kelly Monaco are all forces to be reckoned with.
It’s DWTS: All-Stars, after all. Only the creme de le creme came to play this fall … well, and Bristol Palin. Anyway, with

O.J. Simpson-Khloe Kardashian Bombshell: Alleged Killer Changes Will to Include Rumored Offspring!
O.J. Simpson believes Khloe Kardashian is his daughter and plans on changing his will to reflect this fact.
According to a new story in The National Enquirer, that is.
The same tabloid that first floated the Kardashian-belongs-to-O.J. rumor in January is now fueling that seemingly absurd allegation by claiming Simpson wants to “do the right thing” and leave a sizable chunk of his estate to the reality star.
Moreover, he wants to do it at older daughter Arnelle’s expense, an anonymous insider claims, because Simpsons thinks she has squandered his money on a lavish, drunken

The Basketball Wives star has cut herself off entirely from the press since Chad Johnson head-butted her (allegedly), and has not spoken a word to the former NFL standout.

Both have been laying extremely low of late.
