So sad! New report from gawker confirm that Longtime 60 Minutes correspondent Bob Simon reportedly died in a car crash Wednesday night. He was 73.
CBS confirmed the news but did not give much detail, saying only that Simon "died suddenly tonight in a car accident in New York City."
According to the Daily News, Simon was in the back of a livery cab that rear ended a Mercedes and slammed into a median on the West Side Highway in Manhattan Wednesday night.
Both Simon and the driver had to be cut out of the car but according to the paper, the driver was not seriously injured.
The Post also spoke to the Mercedes driver, who claims Simon's driver was driving erratically.
"He swerved into me," the driver said. "He hit me and he looked like he lost control of the car."
Pink is the next to go nude in the social media, a trend that seems rampant with lot of them owing it to the fact that "they are now proud of their body" The pop star is the latest A-list name to shed her clothes for the animal rights organization, following in the footsteps of Eva Mendes and Khloé Kardashian in its I'd Rather Go Naked Than Wear Fur campaign.
For the stunning black and white still Pink shows off her bare body, flaunting her toned figure and numerous tattoos.
While she shuns fur now, that hasn't always been the case for the 35-year-old.
"I would like to say I've always been fur-free. Unfortunately, I went through a selfish phase and wore fur on a couple of occasions," she admitted. "But I wised up and now boycott fur completely."
To show just how strongly she feels, Pink shared her sentiments on those who chose to don the furs of animals.
"I wish everyone was forced to learn the horrors that these animals go through for fashion trends. I hope fur-wearers get bitten in the ass by the same kind of animal they wear on their back," she said.
PETA's latest ad has been unveiled just ahead of the start of New York Fashion Week, which kicks off tomorrow. The photo appears in a 90-foot wide billboard in the city's Time Square.
"I'd rather go naked than wear fur," is written in pink lettering, with the tagline, "Be comfortable in your own skin and let animals keep theirs," appearing in white underneath.
PETA UK has tweeted its support for the campaign.
"P!nk teamed up with PETA US and @ruvenafanador to make a point to the fur trade! (sic)," it posted.
Arsenal striker Olivier Giroud has won the accolade of being the Premier League's most attractive player, it was announced today.
To celebrate Valentine's Day, bookmakers Paddy Power surveyed a panel of 250 American women to find out which football stars set pulses racing across the Pond.
Giroud topped the list ahead of Sunderland's Santiago and Leicester's Matty James.
Other stars to receive a thumbs up from the females of the US included West Brom's Ben Foster, Manchester City's Jesus Navas and QPR's Charlie Austin.
Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger is concerned with the injuries to two of his players after their 2-1 win over Leicester City on Tuesday, according to reports from ESPN.
Midfielders Aaron Ramsey and Alexis Sanchez both limped off the field during the victory against the Foxes, and Wenger is unsure of their status ahead of their next league fixture.
Ramsey only came on as a substitute in the 73rd minute, but then had to be taken off just nine minutes later.
And according to Frenchman, it looks like the Welsh star is suffering a recurrence of the hamstring injury that has kept him out of the majority of the season.
“It looks like it,” he said.
“I don’t know how bad it is yet. Just visually, it didn’t look good. When a guy stops straight away and sits down, that’s not good news.
“There’s a recurrence now of a few muscular injuries and it’s difficult — we haven’t found out why. I basically left him out today because I wanted to be cautious with him. I had to bring him on — I had a hesitation between [Mathieu] Flamini and him — because we lacked a a bit of offensive power. It was not the best of decisions.
“Last year was a thigh but this year it’s a recurrence of hamstrings. You cannot say it’s no worry because after the player doesn’t play with the freedom in mind.”
On the other hand, summer signing Alexis Sanchez also just returned to action after missing the last two fixtures with a hamstring strain, but now seems to have suffered a knock to his knee.
“Sanchez got a knock on his knee,” Wenger said.
“I don’t think he was himself. From the moment he got this knock, he was never really comfortable. I don’t know for how long he will be out and whether he will be out or not. I haven’t seen the doctor.
“I was ready to take him off at half-time but he said, ‘no it’s OK, I can go on.’ When I watched him play I thought, ‘No, that hasn’t [got better].’ Sometimes when you run it off it’s just a kick but he became worse and I didn’t see him in the second half.”
The Gunners will be content that this weekend’s game is an FA Cup clash against Middlesbrough at home, which could see Wenger rest some of his players before their Premier League fixture against Crystal Palace in 10 days time.
