  • Lilit Avagyan Marries Reggie Bush in San Diego

    Professional dancer Lilit Avagyan tied the knot with former New Orleans Saints running back and ex Kim Kardashian boyfriend Reggie Bush Saturday night at the Grand Del Mar hotel in San Diego.

    Notable guests to the nuptials included former New Orleans Saints teammates Pierre Thomas and Lance Moore, with whom Bush won his first Super Bowl, with a 31–17 win over the Indianapolis Colts in Miami in 2010. Detroit Lions punter Sam Martin was also in attendance.

    Moore, who now plays for the Pittsburgh Steelers, took to Twitter and posted, “Even though we all wear different uniforms, we are still brothers!!!”

    Former Saints player Donte Stallworth was on hand with dancing partner Dancing With the Stars star Cheryl Burke. Brody Jenner, Kardashian stepbrother and son of plastic surgery enthusiast Bruce Jenner, also attended the ceremony, which afforded gossip columnists everywhere an easy day.

    Brody, who was noticeable absent from Kim Kardashian’s wedding to Kanye West, is rumored to have been being “catty” by attending the wedding of Kim’s ex. Though another rumor suggests that Jenner didn’t attend Kimye’s wedding because his invitation didn’t include a spot for girlfriend Kaitlynn Carter.

  • Brody Jenner in Trouble With Kim Kardashian for Supporting Reggie Bush?

    Brody Jenner might be in some big time hot water with stepsister Kim Kardashian for his activities this weekend. The son of Bruce Jenner–who blew off Kim’s wedding to Kanye West in Florence back in May–attended the wedding of Kim’s ex, Reggie Bush, on Saturday. He didn’t try to hide his attendance at Bush’s wedding to Lilit Avagyan either, and instead flaunted photos via social media.

    Kim Kardashian and Reggie Bush were an item for years–finally calling it quits for good back in March of 2010. Brody Jenner received his invite to Reggie Bush’s wedding several months ago.

    “Brody and Reggie are really good friends. He invited him months ago with a guest. In terms of Kim, one has nothing to do with the other,” a source said.

    Brody posted a photo of himself along with girlfriend Kaitlynn Carter preparing for the big event via Instagram. He captioned the shot, “It’s go time @kaitlynn_carter yewww @reggiebush !!!!!”

    A short time later he shared a photo of Kaitlynn and him with the happy couple.

    He captioned that one, “Congrats @reggiebush !!! #bushwedding.”

    Rumor has it that Brody Jenner didn’t attend Kim Kardashian and Kanye West’s wedding because his invitation didn’t include a spot for Kaitlynn Carter. At that point the two had been dating for a few months.

    Do you think Brody Jenner’s attendance at Reggie Bush’s wedding was a direct slam at stepsister Kim Kardashian or is it simply a complicated set of circumstances? If he and Kim aren’t particularly close–and most sources indicate they’re not–then Brody likely wouldn’t have wanted to travel to Florence sans Kaitlynn. No one says you can’t be friends with your stepsister’s ex–and clearly he and Reggie Bush are close. Or do you think Jenner dissed Kim Kardashian deliberately by attending Reggie’s wedding but not attending hers?

  • Reggie Bush’s Wedding Takes Place This Weekend

    Detroit Lions running back Reggie Bush is tying the knot with partner Lilit Avagyan over the weekend. Bush and Avagyan are getting married in San Diego at The Grand Del Mar, which is where NBA player Lebron James got married last September.

    The Grand Del Mar is one of the top luxury hotels in the world, and no surprise there, but the wedding is costing Bush a pretty penny. “I’m tapped out. This wedding is costing me a lot of money!” Reggie Bush told TMZ.

    Check out some of Bush’s comments about the wedding as he takes a stroll with Avagyan below.

    Considering that a basic room at this particular hotel starts at almost $500 per night and offers several restaurants, a golf course, and a spa, it’s easy to see how the pending nuptials could set Bush back a bit. As TMZ points out, the former Saints player can easily afford the hefty bill, as he has a four-year, $16 million contract with the Lions, which included a $4 million signing bonus.

    Bush and Avagyan have been together since the end of 2011. The pair became parents after giving birth to daughter Briseis last May. It’s rumored that Briseis will be included in the wedding, but her role hasn’t been divulged, although flower girl would be the obvious choice.

    Check out a photo of Reggie Bush’s wife-to-be and child below.

    Many people have wondered whether Kim Kardashian, who was Bush’s girlfriend on and off for a few years, will be invited to the wedding. It’s hard to imagine that Bush would be comfortable with his ex there, especially since he told Life & Style magazine that none of the Kardashians reached out to him when his daughter was born.

    “I haven’t spoken to [the Kardashians],” Bush said during the 2013 interview. “I’ve just been focusing on my little girl and my family. That’s it really. I’ve been enjoying my life and this opportunity. All my focus has been on that.”

    With that in mind, it sounds like anyone hoping for a little something extra juicy to gossip about regarding Reggie Bush’s wedding will be sorely disappointed.

  • Can Reggie Bush Get His 1,000 Yd Season?

    Can Reggie Bush Get His 1,000 Yd Season?

    Popular NFL running back Reggie Bush may have been a shoo-in for the Heisman Award in 2005 after his USC team won the BCS National Championship, but it’s doubtful he’s winning ANY kind of award from his fellow teammates lately after throwing them all under the bus with negative remarks about their apparent lack of discipline.

    Bush told sources on Wednesday that the reason why the Detroit Lions had lost four out of their last five games was because the players had a discipline problem. According to him, none of his fellow teammates had any discipline at all.

    Reggie Bush, a phenomenal college running back for USC, had no problem with discipline as evident from his 2005 Heisman win. However, looking several years ahead into his NFL career he’s just been good – Not quite like the crowd-pleasing runaway touchdowns and 2,000 plus yards during his Heisman year.

    If Bush’s fans were to take the negativity he exudes towards his teamates, add in a handful of Heisman returned, measure up the latest calf injury that has kept him sidelined and lastly throw in the possibility of a 1,000 yard season…well…it doesn’t quite seem like the same ball player.

    Reggie Bush is a favorite in fantasy football drafts, and always entertaining to watch on the big screen. He’s one of the true backs – simply sticking with his position alone. To earn a 1,000 yard season is a big deal to a running back, especially a true back like Bush. In order to obtain one of these seasons, the back has to have tried and true blockers, a strong offensive line, and a cooperative quarterback that’ll hand off to you enough times to get that number closer and closer. Even the defense comes into play here. If they don’t give the offense enough breathing room then those nice hand-offs to Reggie turn into receptions for Calvin.

    With Bush so close to his golden season numbers, wouldn’t he want to make nice with his teammates? Especially the offensive line and tackles. Even the occasional tight end could need to be enlisted for a quick block down the sideline. Word of advice…don’t piss off the guys who have your back – literally. Or instead of counting up yards over 1,000 you could be counting stars.

  • Reggie Bush Expects To Play On Monday Night

    Reggie Bush missed out on Detroit’s last game in Philadelphia but expects to play in their big game on Monday night. This will be the first time that the Lions have played in a Monday Night Football game, and Bush does not want to miss the opportunity to play.

    He is one of the older running backs in the league, and has experienced injuries before, but Reggie Bush still remains a very tough runner in the NFL. He sat out during the Lions’ previous game with an injury that he had suffered before the game started.

    In the game that Bush sat out, the Lions faced the Eagles in the middle of a Philadelphia snowstorm that somehow found the Eagles taking command of the game and winning with a final score of 34-20.

    While it was originally reported that Bush had injured himself while slipping on the snow, he later denied that claim. He said that he was already fighting a calf injury and simply aggravated the pulled muscle while jogging before the game.

    On Wednesday the running back stated that he simply wasn’t healthy enough to play, and did not want to chance it when saying “I didn’t fall. It was definitely icy out there. There was definitely a lot of snow, but I didn’t fall on the ground or anything like that. I was just out there jogging. I wasn’t even really going hard. I was just jogging, and it just grabbed on me.”

    Watching from the sideline was hard on Reggie Bush, and he is determined to make it back to the field on Monday, in an important game against the Baltimore Ravens, as both teams battle to stay alive for the playoffs. He has never missed a game for a pulled muscle before, and looks forward to getting back on the field.

    He explained his frustration in last week’s game further when saying “What was at stake, playing on the road and just being out there with my teammates. It’s always hard being on the sidelines, being a spectator. I hate it, so I look forward to getting back this week.”

    The Lions have a big game while also playing in front of a national audeince on Monday night, and it will certainly help to have Reggie Bush back on the field. The Lions still remain in first place in the NFC North, but need to show up with better performances in the final three weeks of the season if they expect to stay there.

  • LeSean McCoy Plows His Way Through Snowy Philly, Sets Rushing Record

    LeSean McCoy was by the far the most impressive performer in yesterday’s game between the Eagles and the Lions. In a game that started in a complete snowstorm, it was hard for either team to see what was going on for much of the first half, not to mention score.

    The Lions led the game with a score of 8-0 at halftime, which seemed as if it may have been enough with the way the first half played out.

    The Lions went up 14-0, and seemed to take control of the game, however, LeSean McCoy had other plans for how the game would play out. The game ended with a final score of 34-20 in favor of the Eagles.

    LeSean McCoy put his best performance, and more than most players, when he rushed for 217 yards and lifted the Eagles to victory. Despite the snowy conditions, he was the one who was able to outshine everyone else and somehow find a way for the Eagles to win in the Philadelphia snowstorm.

    McCoy broke the record for most rushing yards in a game that was previously held by Hall Of Famer Steven Van Buren in 1949, which was 205 yards. The Eagles rushed for 299 yards in total, while the Lions came into the game allowing the third-fewest yards rushing per game in the league.

    To get an idea of just how hard it would be to run in the snowy conditions, check this out.

    He also became only the third member of the Eagles to rush for 200 yards in a single game in the the team’s history, with the other being Duce Staley in 2000. He is on pace for over 1,600 rushing yards, and would likely be in the hunt for MVP if it were not for all-star quarterbacks such as Peyton Manning and Russell Wilson.

    In contrast to McCoy’s record-setting performance, the Lions were hardly able to run at all, and it was revealed later in the day that the reason fans were not able to see Reggie Bush on the field throughout the game was because he injured himself before the game started when slipping on the snow.

    While completing his incredible performance through the snow, McCoy admitted how difficult it was to run when saying “It was tough, to be honest. But the guys were giving me so much room. I actually like to run in between the tackles.” It was certainly an impressive performance for the running back, and gave the Eagles their 8th win of the season.

    The game was very important for both the Lions and the Eagles, and with LeSean McCoy’s performance leading the Eagles to victory, it is an important statement for the team going into week 15.

    In his outstanding performance as a runner, McCoy had more yards than Matthew Stafford, Nick Foles or Calvin Johnson, who was held to only 49 receiving yards. Fortunately, Johnson only needed 40 yards to break the all-time record for receiving yards as a Detroit Lion.

  • Reggie Bush Injured Before Game Starts, Slips In Snow

    Well, if anyone just watched the game between the Lions and the Eagles while wondering why Reggie Bush did not make an appearance on the field, it is because he sustained an injury before the game started. The veteran running back slipped in the snow, aggravating his calf, and prevented him from playing during the game.

    Reggie Bush, the running back for the Detroit Lions, was forced out of the game before it even started in a very unlikely injury. The game continued to take a toll on both teams throughout, but especially the Lions, who had trouble running the ball.

    Bush was injured during the pre-game warm-ups, and possibly re-aggravated an existing calf injury. He has played in 11 games this season, and the Lions are only 1-4 when Bush is not able to touch the ball more than 20 times.

    That record turned to 1-5 after their disappointing loss today, and gave the Lions a record of 7-6 on the season. The game was important for both the Lions and the Eagles, and the Eagles made a big statement with the win.

    It is hard to know how much better the Lions would have done if Bush would have been in the game, but they were not able to get much of anything on the ground during the game. Joique Bell and Reggie Bush typically share the responsibilities of running, but with Bush out, it was up to Bell to do it on his own. As a result, the rushing attack from the Lions was lackluster, and Bell only ran for 69 yards in the game.

    Despite Reggie Bush’s attitude and positive outlook going into the game, he was not able to play due to what happened before the game. Earlier in the week, he welcome the snow filled conditions, saying “I actually welcome it. I love playing in the bad weather conditions because I feel like it’s an advantage for the running backs.”

    In order to get a feel for just how messy the game was, look no further than this graphic.

    Both teams were playing through a complete snowstorm, finding it impossible to score in the first quarter, and a halftime score of 8-0. However, things started to heat up in the second half as the final score ended in favor of the Eagles, 34-20.

    The teams battled back and forth for much of the game before the Eagles were able to take over in the 4th quarter, securing their 8th win of the season.

    With Reggie Bush out due to his pre-game injury, the Lions were unable to do much in the running game, and lost in a disappointing way to the Eagles in Philadelphia.

  • Reggie Bush’s Kardashian-Lookalike GF Is Pregnant

    Reggie Bush, who famously dated Kim Kardashian back in 2007, has been seeing Armenian-born Lilit Avagyan for a while now, and the couple has just announced they are expecting.

    Miami Dolphins running back Bush confirmed that Avagyan is about 12-weeks along, and while it’s too soon to find out the sex of the baby, he says he’s hoping for a boy who won’t rile up his overprotective nature.

    “If it’s a girl I’m going straight to the gun shop to buy some guns,” he said.

    Bush says he’s excited about being a father for the first time and is looking forward to sharing the experience with Avagyan.

    “We can’t wait. It’s an opportunity to bring in new life and raise a child. That’s the most special gift to a man and a woman. I look forward to it and to building a family,” he said.
