Caitlyn Might Replace Bruce In The OHOF...
Caitlyn Jenner had a pretty historic week and may have an opportunity to make history again, or at least change it.
The U.S. Olympic Committee says it will consider changing Bruce's name to Caitlyn in its Hall of Fame, if that's what she wants. The 1976 Olympic hero was inducted into the Olympic Hall of Fame back in 1986. Now, the Olympic Committee says that if Caitlyn wants her name on the honor instead of Bruce, she can file a formal request and they'll oblige. There's no word yet if she's planning to.
All of Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's early honors still have the name Lew Alcindor attached to them. Same thing goes for Cassius Clay who became Muhammad Ali.

So Does This Mean We Can Send Him Back Now?
Justin Bieber has entered a guilty plea to charges of assault and careless driving in a case stemming from an accident and fight near his hometown of Stratford, Ontario last August.
Justin was on an all-terrain vehicle when he collided with a mini-van driven by a photographer -- and then got into a physical altercation with the other man. The judge ruled Thursday that Bieber was guilty, but he gave the singer an unconditional discharge on the assault case and levied a minor $750 fine on the careless driving count.
The court case had been set to go to trial in Stratford next month.

Not only is the box office success of San Andreas being enjoyed by Warner Brothers, it's also being enjoyed by companies selling earthquake preparedness kits.
The disaster movie has caused enough paranoia about "the big one" that's coming someday, that sales of earthquake supplies have seen a huge increase. EarthquakeStore.com, for instance, reports a 300% spike in sales since the movie arrived in theaters. Customers have been buying up all of their quake alarms and emergency kits which include things like safety vests, candles, a hand saw and emergency food bars.
So shouldn't Dwayne Johnson or the movie studio get a kick back for this?
