"Because of his style and personality, it’s like a rock star wherever he goes in terms of attention,” Jones told reporters.

Basically, ya gotta watch every step you take.
FYI, the Dallas PD's still investigating the incident ... but hasn't named any suspects.

Ex-Kermit Puppeteer Played a Bitter, Depressed Frog ... Says Cheryl Henson
Kermit the Frog always said it wasn't easy being green, but it's the blues that got his longtime puppeteer, Steve Whitmire, fired ... according to Jim Henson's daughter.
Cheryl Henson ripped Whitmire's on-the-job performance, saying he was making Kermit a "bitter, angry, depressed, victim. Worst of all, in the past few years he had not been funny or fun."
She says it was high time to make a change, and implored Whitmire ... "Stop with the pity party!"
Whitmire was canned last week, and bitched that Disney let him go over the phone.
The Muppets Studio issued a statement Monday, saying the official reason they pulled the trigger was "unacceptable business conduct" -- which is pretty much what Cheryl said ... with bigger words.

Mike Vick Kaepernick Should Cut Afro ... If He Wants NFL Job
Mike Vick says Colin Kaepernick should chop off his afro and go with a more "clean cut" hairstyle if he really wants a shot at playing in the NFL again.
Vick laid out his strategy for the QB during an appearance on FS1's "Speak for Yourself" -- saying Kaepernick needs to change his appearance to something more "presentable."
Vick says he loves Kaep to death and says he wants the guy to rehab his image so he can play in the NFL again.
He also believes Colin is mainly unemployed due to poor play and not because of his National Anthem protest.

Al Pacino's 1st Pics As Joe Paterno Child Rapist-Protecting Football Coach
Here's one of the first pics of Al Pacino on a NY movie set as Joe Paterno -- the disgraced Penn State football coach who concealed the criminal actions of a serial child rapist.
Pacino is playing Paterno in an upcoming HBO movie about the Penn State scandal centered around PSU assistant football coach, Jerry Sandusky, who habitually raped children at the Penn State athletic facilities.
Investigators later determined Paterno -- along with other PSU officials -- concealed information about Sandusky from University honchos and law enforcement.
Paterno -- who famously nearly/probably crapped himself during a televised football game in 2006 -- was fired in 2011, one month after Sandusky was arrested.
Paterno died 2 months later from cancer.

Ryan Lochte Cleared of Criminal Charges In Rio 'Robbery'
Ryan Lochte has been cleared of all charges in connection with his Rio hijinks.
An appeals court has thrown out the criminal charge filed against Lochte for allegedly lying to authorities when he told them he was robbed at gunpoint. Lochte was charged with false communication of a crime.
The judges ruled Lochte did not go to cops and report the incident ... they came to him after hearing stories in the media. So he never set out to create a lie, and that was the turning point in the case.
As you know, Lochte told NBC he and 3 other members of the U.S. swim team were stopped by men he thought were impersonating police officers. Surveillance video later showed the real story was Lochte and co. were stopped by owners of the gas station they'd vandalized.

Jon Jones: Bigger Athletes Than Me Do Coke 'You'd Be Surprised'
Jon Jones says he's not the only superstar with a taste for cocaine -- saying he knows for a fact that "some of the greatest athletes in the country" like to ride the blow train to snooter town.
The UFC superstar opened up about his well-documented coke use to Bleacher Report ... saying, "As far as me doing coke before a fight, that's not me trying to be a bad guy. That's me frickin' doing a bump -- you know, at a party."
"The truth of the matter is, you'd be surprised how many people have done coke. I've been around some of the greatest athletes in the country. Athletes with a lot bigger names than me do coke. But people don't talk about it."
Jones says the drug helps him have a good time -- saying, "If you can afford to smoke a little weed, and do a little coke, and still win world titles, who's to tell you you can't?"
"I understand these things are illegal. And once you get caught doing it, it's humiliating. But at the same time, I'm not an addict or anything like that. You don't see me walking around weighing fucking 100 pounds with my teeth rotting out and scabs all over my face."
It's not the first time Jon's been open about how much he likes coke -- he said the weekend he did blow and then beat Daniel Cormier was one of the best times of his life.

St. Maarten Airport Beachgoer Dies from Jet Blast

10:00 AM PT -- Sint Maarten police tell us government and airport officials will be meeting to discuss new safety measures. Currently it's not illegal to stand at that fence at the end of the runway, but with this fatality -- the first ever -- we're told officials will consider making changes.
A New Zealand tourist in Sint Maarten died during a thrill-seeking escapade as she tried to withstand the blast of a jet engine.
The scene was horrifying ... people in Sint Maarten tell TMZ, the woman was hanging on to a fence at the edge of the runway, while an airliner revved its engines before rolling down the runway for takeoff.
We're told she couldn't hold on to the fence and was catapulted backward into a concrete barrier on the edge of the beach.
People on scene tried in vain to resuscitate her but it appears she died on impact.
2012
A similar incident occurred in 2012 when a woman was blown into the same barrier, but she survived.
There are signs warning people not to stand in the pathway of the jet, but it has become one of the most popular things to do in Sint Maarten.
