LOS ANGELES — Pop singer Eddie Fisher, whose clear voice brought him a devoted following of teenage girls in the early 1950s before marriage scandals overshadowed his fame, has died at age 82.
He passed away Wednesday night at his home in Berkeley of complications from hip surgery, his daughter, Tricia Leigh Fisher of Los Angeles, told The Associated Press.
"Late last evening the world lost a true America icon," Fisher's family said in a statement released by publicist British Reece. "One of the greatest voices of the century passed away. He was an extraordinary talent and a true mensch."
The death was first reported by Hollywood website deadline.com.
In the early 50s, Fisher sold millions of records with 32 hit songs including "Thinking of You," "Any Time," "Oh, My Pa-pa," "I'm Yours," "Wish You Were Here," "Lady of Spain" and "Count Your Blessings."~source

Jesse Jackson Jr With Cocktail Waitress: Wife Comments On Alleged Affair
Wow! Another Day... Another Scandal!
This is the latest news:
The wife of Congressman Jesse Jackson Jr. is speaking out about allegations her husband had an affair with a Washington, DC restaurant hostess [Giovana Huidobro].
In a statement, Chicago Alderman Sandi Jackson says the news is "not new" and something the family has been addressing for two years.
Jackson also says her family wants to handle the matter privately.
The comments come a day after a former fund raiser of the Congressman told the "Chicago Sun-Times" he had bought DC-to-Chicago plane tickets for the hostess several years ago.
The ex-fund raiser also claimed Jesse Jackson Jr. tried to buy President Obama's former U.S. Senate seat from ex-governor Rod Blagojevich. Jackson has denied trying to buy the senate seat.~source
Bishop Eddie Long Accused of Sexual Coercion | Video
Two DeKalb County men filed lawsuits Tuesday alleging Bishop Eddie Long, leader of one of the Southeast’s largest churches, coerced them into having sex with him in exchange for lavish trips, cars and cash.
Long is the nationally known minister of New Birth Missionary Baptist Church, with more than 25,000 members.
The pastor’s attorney, Craig Gillen, adamantly denied the allegations.
"It is unfortunate that these two young men have chosen to take this course of action."
The plaintiffs, Anthony Flagg, 21, and Maurice Robinson, 20, began having inappropriate relations with Long at the age of 16, which is the legal age of consent in Georgia, said their attorney B.J. Bernstein.~source

Shannon Sharpe: Charges Dismissed!
Here's an excerpt from the Denver Post:
The protection order hearing against former Broncos tight end Shannon Sharpe has been "voluntarily dismissed," according to the Fulton County Superior Court.
Michele Bundy, who was granted a temporary restraining order by the court against Sharpe earlier this week and has been representing herself pro se, withdrew her complaint Wednesday.
Sharpe had taken a leave of absence from CBS as NFL analyst until the matter is resolved. CBS is expected to make a statement on Sharpe today.
Denver-area acquaintances of Bundy were alarmed but not overly surprised upon hearing the news she had taken legal action against Sharpe.
