Celebrity Deaths Clearly Taking Toll on Milton Bradley

(Chicago, IL) - Last week will forever been known as the week that so many celebrities passed away. Michael Jackson, Farah Fawcett, Ed McMahon, and Billy Mays all left us. And no one is hurting more than Chicago Cubs outfielder Milton Bradley.

Clearly, something larger was at play.

(Los Angeles, CA) - Six months ago, you couldn’t go anywhere without seeing and hearing the news about America’s golden boy, Michael Phelps. He had just done what no other person had ever done: he won eight gold medals in a single Olympics.

Flash forward six months, and once again, you can’t go anywhere without seeing and hearing the news about America’s golden boy, Michael Phelps. But this time, the news is less flattering. Read more »
