All tag results for 'retirement'

Break out the vino people, because Kobe Bryant is here to stay!

After tearing his achilles tendon in a nasty season-ending injury against the Golden State Warriors, people began to wonder whether or not the 34 year-old baller still had any gas left in the tank.

Well the Los Angeles Laker legend heard the retirement rumors and took to Twitter to weigh in on the issue:

We can't even imagine what a profound, emotional evening this must have been for him!

Hell, we're moved to tears just LOOKING at the poor guy!

After his hugely successful career that has spanned over 20 years, David Beckham played his final game as a professional soccer player during last night's match between Paris Saint-Germain and Brest, which his team ended up winning 3-1!

However, by the end of the match, BOTH teams, as well as the full audience of spectators at Parc des Princes in Paris - including his wife Victoria Beckham and children Romeo, Brooklyn, Cruz and Harper - ERUPTED into applause that left the 38-year-old in tears!

He says in a statement:

Well this is certainly a surprise!

Attendees at the Lupus LA Orange Ball got a little HUGE treat as Toni Braxton took the stage to put on a very special performance!

The Unbreak My Heart singer took a short break from her retirement and sang a couple of her songs at the star-studded charity event, and of course she sounded amazing!

Ch-ch-check her awesome performance of Breathe Again (above)!

Toni had a lupus scare herself not too long ago, so it makes sense that she would want to give back to an organization that is hoping to thwart the disease once and for all!

She even showed some love for her doctor, Dr. Shapira, and pulled him onstage for her performance of Another Sad Love Song! Because nothing says "Thank you" like embarassing someone in front of a crowded room of people! LOLz!

But seriously, we are SO SO happy to see Toni back on the stage doing what she does best! Even if it was just for the night!

Check out the rest of her performance …AFTER THE JUMP!!

Poor Morrissey!

While the former Smiths frontman had previously made announced his desire to retire from performing for good once he hit 55, it appears that he's been forced to put those plans on the fast-track due to increasingly problematic health issues described as a "series of medical mishaps"….and has officially canceled the remainder of his North American tour dates!

As we all know, the 53-year-old needed to postpone three dates back in January when he was hospitalized with a bleeding ulcer, then suffered double pneumonia earlier this month, as well as Barrett's esophagus, which is linked to long-term acid reflux!

A statement from his rep reads:

When Jerry Sandusky was sentenced to 30-60 years in prison, he forfeited many things.

Mainly, his right to freely walk the streets.

Justice was served in response to the Penn State sex scandal.

But Sandusky is still fighting, he just doesn't know when to quit.

Sandusky is currently fighting to get his $59,000-a-year pension back!

It's true, Evander Holyfield is completely done with boxing forever, even though we were hearing that he wanted to fight one last time.

At 49 years old, we'd say this is probably a good move, even for such a legendary fighter!

This is just wrong: Jerry Sandusky, who has just been convicted on a bunch of counts of molesting children and will be spending the next 30-60 years in prison, is going to be able to keep his pension.

We're sorry, but if you use your job and the status that comes with that job to prey on young boys sexually, you should not be allowed to keep your pension. That's bullshizz!
