According to Us Weekly, the pair had reportedly only been dating for about a month. A source said, “It wasn’t that serious. It’s not a nasty thing and they are still talking, but Katy told him to do his thing and they’ll talk soon. No hard feelings, she’s really busy and so is he.” ONE DIRECTION IS A BUNCH OF TALKERS: The boys of One Direction managed to rack up a pretty large phone bill. According to The Daily Mirror, the boy band had a combined total of $22,000 in cell phone bills. A source said, “In the end they got called in for a meeting and given a lecture on finances, and how to handle their money. It is vital wealth does not go to their heads. Their bills got signed off and the boys will not be making the same mistake again.”

ROBIN WILLIAMS IS LATEST CELEBRITY DEATH HOAX VICTIM: Robin Williams is alive and well. The actor was the latest celebrity death hoax victim after the fake Global Associated News site reported that he’d fallen to his death.

 BAR REFAELI IS MAXIM’S HOTTEST WOMAN: Bar Refaeli has topped Maxim’s annual Hot 100 list. This was the first time the rankings were determined by fan voting.

SAMANTHA RONSON AND KIRSTEN DUNST? Lindsay Lohan’s ex Samantha Ronson has moved on — to Kirsten Dunst. The two, who were first spotted at the Sundance Film Festival earlier in the year, were photographed at the Chateau Marmont over the weekend. A witness observed, “They were having the best time — being quite fun and quite playful, laughing the night away and being very carefree.” It seems as though their relationship is platonic as Dunst reportedly has a long-term boyfriend.

REESE WITHERSPOON HIKES WITH DAD AMID LEGAL BATTLE: Reese Witherspoon is bonding with her father in the midst of her parents’ legal battle over his second marriage. Reese’s mother recently sued her father over bigamy claims — saying that he tied the knot even though the two are still legally married. The couple has been separated since 1996, but Reese’s mom alleges that her dad’s alcoholism and early-onset dementia were to blame for the latest walk down the aisle. Despite the situation, a pregnant Reese, her dad and her two kids were photographed on what sources say was “a low-key, quiet walk together.”

Rockies Slammed by Stanton, Marlins (LISTEN LIVE TONIGHT on ESPN Radio 1410)

An early lead dissolved into the same old story for the Colorado Rockies, who lost their fifth straight game 7-4 to the Miami Marlins last night in the first game of a three-game series at Marlins Park. The Rockies struck for four runs in the top half of the first inning, thanks to a two-run double by Michael Cuddyer and a two-run homer by Troy Tulowitzki, but they would manage just one more hit the rest of the game. The Marlins took the lead for good when Giancarlo Stanton belted a two-out grand slam off of Jamie Moyer in the fourth inning, capping a five-run frame for the home team. The Rockies have now lost nine of their last ten and fifteen of their last nineteen games. They’ll try again to turn it around tonight in Miami. ESPN Radio 1410 has the ballgame for you, with pregame coverage at 5:30 and first pitch at 6:10.

Manning Sharp in Broncos First OTA

The Denver Broncos opened organized team activities at their Dove Valley facility in suburban Denver yesterday, and newly acquired quarterback Peyton Manning returned to the practice field for the first time in more than 16 months. Manning reportedly was sharp in the voluntary workout, firing darts to his receivers in drills and in offensive sets. He showed no visible ill effects from the neck surgeries that caused him to miss the entire 2011 season when with the Indianapolis Colts. The Broncos were missing a pair of players from the first OTA workout of the summer – defensive tackle Ty Warren, whom the Broncos are trying to get to accept a pay-cut, was a no-show, as was linebacker D.J. Williams, who was in court facing trial on a DUI charge. Williams’ case ended on a mistrial before the jury could be selected.

Former Husker Williams Joins UNL Athletic Department Staff

Jamie Williams

Former Husker football standout Jamie Williams has joined the Nebraska athletic department as the Associate Athletic Director of Diversity and Leadership Initiatives. Williams, who played 12 seasons in the NFL after his Husker career, spent the last six years at Academy of Art University in San Francisco, where he built a Division II athletic department from scratch as the school’s athletic director.

Quote from Jamie Williams:
“First of all, I bleed Husker Red! Secondly, I am forever grateful to the Stephens family for providing me the blank canvas to build an NCAA Division II athletic program at their amazing Academy of Art University and I feel good about the continued success of that program. Leaving the heart of downtown San Francisco, the Urban Knights and the magically creative folks of this wonderful art institution was emotionally tough. It would take my alma mater and my uncanny former coach, Tom Osborne, to pull me away from a program where I continually led a young staff into ‘Nietzsche’s abyss,’ where men fear and fail. I’m proud to leave them as ‘young leaders’ unafraid of today’s innate chaos in athletics.

“For the record, T.O. can still recruit like any great wizard. I owe him and the University much. I thank Dr. Tom Osborne, his staff and Chancellor Perlman for facilitating my return to Lincoln. Red nostalgia fills my mind, including clear visions of the unique, but home-grown, pageantry of home football games.  It’s been awhile but I still envision Valentino’s pizza, Abel Dormitory, red helium balloons, rocky mountain oysters, fat inner tubes floating coeds down an endless creek, friendly smiles, great fishing, bald eagles along the Platte River and, of course, a volleyball hitting an opponent in the face!  They call this ‘The Good Life’ and I agree. I feel like the prodigal son.  More importantly, I built an intercollegiate athletic program that none thought could happen, based on the principles I received through UNL, Coach Osborne and Gene Huey. This standard of integrity, higher education, discipline, creativity and winning has become my “tattoos.”  Winning ‘the right way’ is a mantra for Nebraska.  I’m hoping to propagate that guiding principle as an athletic administrator and educator. My task now is to help elevate Nebraska Athletics within the Big Ten Conference and nationally.  I am absolutely up for the challenge.  Let’s Go Big Red!!”

 

Fischer Declines Invite to First Senate Debate

LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — Republican Senate nominee Deb Fischer has turned down an invitation to what would have been the first debate with Democratic nominee Bob Kerrey. Kerrey on Monday had accepted the invitation from Cornhusker Boys State and Girls State for a June 5 debate in Lincoln, but Fischer declined a few hours later. Her campaign says she had previous commitments on that date. Boys State and Girls State teach youth about the duties and practical applications of government. Fischer beat out state Attorney General Jon Bruning and Treasurer Don Stenberg to win the Republican nomination in the May 15 primary election, and Kerrey cruised to an easy win in the Democratic primary.
