Vivica Fox Sex Tape Scandal?

*Rumors are bubbling that a sex tape has surfaced featuring film and TV actress Vivica A. Fox.

According to Atlanta blogger Sandra Rose, Fox is allegedly caught on camera performing oral sex on an Atlanta man, who secretly recorded the act and promptly e-mailed the footage to his friends. Rose wrote at her Web site:

It was a tough decision for her to make, but V-103’s Porsche Foxx confirmed that her close friend Vivica Fox appears in a controversial sex tape that is currently making the rounds.
In the tape, an apparently inebriated Vivica can be seen on her knees servicing a male friend who surreptitiously taped the encounter on his cell phone.

Allegedly the man, who lives in Atlanta, emailed the tape to friends who emailed it to Vivica. She quickly forwarded the tape to a friend at the Atlanta police department.

It isn’t known if Vivica filed an official complaint with the police or if she asked her police friend to handle the situation privately.

At any rate, men tattle worse than females - especially here in the ATL - so the tape got out.

Noel Devine Scores: West Virginia 48, Oklahoma 28


GLENDALE, Ariz., Jan. 3 (UPI) -- Game-breaking, third-quarter scores by Noel Devine and Darius Reynaud Wednesday boosted West Virginia to a 48-28 win over Oklahoma in the Fiesta Bowl.

Three of the Mountaineers' six touchdowns covered more than half the length of the field, carrying them to their third consecutive post-season triumph, despite having their coach, Rich Rodriguez, bolt to Michigan. Bill Stewart coached WVU to the win.

Owen Schmitt scored on a 57-yard run in the second quarter, Tito Gonzalez hauled in a 79-yard scoring pass from Patrick White early in the fourth and Noel Devine finished the scoring with a 65-yard run for the Mountaineers (11-2).

Oklahoma (11-3) trailed by 14 at halftime before closing to within 20-15 midway through the third quarter.

Devine scored on a 17-yard run and Reynard finished off a 75-yard, three-play drive with a 30-yard touchdown dash to put WVU in control.

Both teams had national championship aspirations until late in the season and the Sooners suffered their second straight disappointing bowl setback. They lost by one to Boise State in last year's Fiesta Bowl.

White threw for two touchdowns and 176 yards without an interception. Oklahoma's Sam Bradford was 21 of 32 for 245 yards and two scores.

Willard Library - Ghost Cams?

More than 110 years old, Willard Library is the oldest public library building in the state of Indiana. The library, housed in a beautiful Victorian Gothic building in Evansville, is nestled gloriously near the downtown area of this southwestern Indiana city of 130,000 people, providing a sharp contrast with the modern high-rises and six-lane freeways.

History

The Willard Library Ghost Cams were inspired by the question "Is Willard Library Haunted?" It has become a fascinating, and somewhat credible, legend that drives thousands of people to search the library for remnants of lost spirits. The site is a virtual ghost hunting mecca. Take a virtual tour of the library with Greg Hager, Willard Library Director, and see if you can locate the cams hidden in the building. Libraryghost.com offers three cams for your ghost hunting pleasure. The Children's Room cam , Research Room cam , and the Basement Cam refresh every 20 seconds. According to reports from visitors, some of the most frequent encounters with the legendary Lady in Grey have occurred in the children's reading room in the basement of Willard Library.

The library has been investigated by several organizations including MESA (multi-energy sensor array), TAPS, and other teams looking for ghosts. Check out their findings and results in the slideshow.

The first reported incident happened sixty years ago to a library employee who trekked through the snowy cold for his nightly duty. Since then, countless other employees and patrons have reported seeing this apparition, each giving an eerily similar description. Is the legend true? We'll leave that for you to decide. Click here to see the rest of the legend.

Wife Swap: It’s Beauty Vs. Brains

We got a classic battle for the season premiere of WifeSwap: Beauty vs. Brains. Who will win — the image-conscious pageant family or the ultra-feminist brainiacs?

Tonight’s show pits the Guastafero family — mom Karen, dad Ralph, and daughter Alicia — against the Boss family — mom Angie, dad Duwaine, and daughters Kaylyn, Katie, and Clara.

The Guastaferos are all about “sparkle,” and it shows. Alicia is the sparkliest 15-year old you’ve ever seen. And she has good reason for it. Living in the lap of luxury, this is one kid who’s not to be bothered with mundane life things such as homework, housework, or (ew, icky!) any and all physical labor. So dedicated to keeping Princess Alicia sparkly, this family keeps a Christmas tree up all year round, and for Alicia, who has been winning beauty pageants since she was 11 months old, every day is literally Christmas. “We never say no to Alicia,” boasts Karen, who plans to show her new family “what’s really important — to sparkle!” (ouch, my dimples hurt already).

Over at Casa Boss, life is a bit different. Angie is a Quaker pastor, homeschooler, and driving the femininity bus right into GirlPowerTown every day. This is great for Kaylyn, who is a miniature version of her mother. Problem is, Clara is intent on shaking up the household by liking nail polish and wanting to be a princess, something that grates on Angie’s last feminist nerve. “I might be in hell,” Angie predicts about her new “home” with the Guastaferos.

It doesn’t take long before the fireworks start flying. Angie’s asked to do Alicia’s homework for her, which she considers lying. “I really want to write in every answer wrong, just for fun,” she says. She butts heads with Ralph time and again over pageanting, accusing him of using his daughter as a piece of meat and teaching her that image is everything.

Karen, too, is struggling with Duwaine and Kaylyn, especially after she calls Kaylyn a “geek,” and decides that, rather than homeschool Clara, she’d rather paint Clara’s nails. She gripes about Duwain teaching the girls car mechanics and complains that he’s turning them into little boys.

And then the women get to change the rules. Uh-oh.

First up on Angie’s list is to take down the Christmas tree (uh…it IS spring…). She sits Alicia and Ralph down and calls Alicia a liar for turning in homework that she didn’t complete on her own. Then she tears up a photo of Alicia, sending Alicia into hyperventilating tears. “If you rip up another picture, we will sue you,” Alicia threatens. It’s more than Ralph can take — he packs up Angie’s stuff and plunks it on the front porch. “You’re history in my house,” he growls.

Karen’s rule-change, while making Duwaine want to “vomit,” are a little less dramatic. She plans to sparkle up those girls, including entering them in a pageant. She then takes the girls and gets them makeovers, complete with miniskirts, highlights, and makeup. Duwaine is not happy with his 13-year old in that miniskirt…

Ralph lets Angie back into the house, where he can call her a “feminist pig” to her face. But Angie’s nothing but determined. She makes Alicia get a job waitressing, where Alicia breaks down into tears (Daddy lets her quit). She also makes Alicia take down her trophies and crowns and replace them with a project about important historical women. She even has Alicia cook a dinner (Ralph makes Alicia cry when he says he wouldn’t feed the food to the dogs. Ouch!).

And back at the Boss house…who exactly is the boss anyway? A screaming match ensues when the pageant dresses arrive, and Duwaine gathers up the girls and squeals away in the truck. When he comes back, he agrees to let Clara enter the pageant (Kaylyn refuses to participate). Clara enters and wins. Yay, Clara!

The week of torture over, the couples reunite and sit down for a face-to-face insult-a-thon. Angie seethes, “What kind of adult calls a child a name?” when she hears about Karen’s “geek” comment. Ralph levels: “I don’t like your wife. She is just, in my opinion, not a good person.” Karen adds a, “you’re a dirtbag!” when she hears about Angie ripping up the photo of Alicia.

Since the swap, the Boss family built a pageant-stage for Clara and have reluctantly indulged in her girly fantasies. The Guastaferos have Alicia doing her own homework …well…sort of. But hey she’s cooking brownies now, so the swap wasn’t a total loss.

And Kaylyn…Karen’s “geek”…the one who kept her cool throughout the entire process…the one who stayed true to herself…who calmly stood up and refused to be a beauty queen… Kaylyn proudly says she “didn’t change a bit” as a result of the swap. You go, girl!

Owen Schmitt stampeded down the sideline

WVU leads Oklahoma, 20-6, at Fiesta Bowl halftime By Rick Starr

TRIBUNE-REVIEW
Wednesday, January 2, 2008

GLENDALE, Ariz. – No. 11 West Virginia shook off a month of turmoil on and off the field and took a 20-6 lead over No. 3 Oklahoma in the first half of the Fiesta Bowl Wednesday night at the Univeristy of Phoenix Stadium.

The Mountaineers proved they were ready to rumble when 260-pound fullback Owen Schmitt stampeded down the sideline for a 57-yard touchdown with 6:29 remaining in the first half.

Schmitt, who is rated the top fullback coming out of college by NFL Draft expert Mel Kiper Jr., broke loose on a third-and-2 play to give WVU a 13-3 lead.

The Mountaineers extended the lead to 20-6 on their next drive.

WVU quarterback Pat White hit his mark when the Sooners blew the coverage in their secondary and left senior wideout Darius Reynaud open in the end zone.

After faking a handoff, White tossed a 21-yard scoring strike when Reynaud broke open on a simple post route.

Reynaud tied the school record with his 12th touchdown catch of the season.

Few predicted a defensive struggle — or a battle between kickers — but it wasn’t until midway through the second quarter that Garrett Hartley put Oklahoma on the scoreboard with a 37-yard field goal.

Hartley added a 24-yard field goal before halftime.

The Mountaineers' defense held Oklahoma to 100 yards of offense in the first half.

West Virginia kicker Pat McAfee gave West Virginia a 6-0 lead with a pair of first-quarter field goals.

McAfee missed a 50-yard field goal attempt midway through the opening quarter, but punt returner Vaughn Rivers regained the momentum with a 51-yard punt return.

McAfee drilled field goals from 38 and 42 yards out before the end of the first quarter, snapping a streak of four consecutive misses.

Oklahoma quarterback Sam Bradford struggled early and often against WVU’s blitz schemes. Linebacker Reed Williams sacked Bradford and forced a fumble, safety Eric Wicks batted a pass back in his face, and defensive end Johnny Dingle also sacked the redshirt freshman in the opening minutes of the game.

Bradford failed to gain a yard on his first two drives and ended the first quarter with one yard of total offense on 12 plays.

Sooners running back Allen Patrick provided field position when he broke loose on a 73-yard kickoff return late in the first quarter, but Mountaineers safety Quinton Andrews intercepted Bradford’s pass in the end zone to end the scoring threat.
