Reality TV Lawyer Loredana Nesci Boyfriend Found Guilty of Murder ... In Stabbing Death
Loredana Nesci's boyfriend has been found guilty of murdering the lawyer-turned-reality star ... this after she was found stabbed to death in her home 2 years ago.
A jury found 53-year-old Robert Brian Reagan guilty Friday of second-degree murder after he was arrested in connection to her death in 2015, when she was found dead at their home in Redondo Beach. They spent about a week deliberating after a 2 week trial.
The couple had gotten into a domestic dispute, which led to her being stabbed to death with a hunting knife.
Reagan claimed her death was an accident. During the trial, Reagan's defense team argued she'd impaled herself on the knife after the couple had gotten into a physical struggle. The prosecution said he did it purposely to avoid a custody battle over their 5-year-old son.
Nesci was the star of her own show on Sundance TV, "Loredana, Esq." ... which ran for a season back in 2014. Nesci had represented a lot of celebrity clients, including wrestling legend Scott Hall.
She was 47.
RIP

Nick Gordon Off the Hook in GF Beating Case
Bobbi Kristina Brown's former boyfriend, Nick Gordon, is walking away clean from his domestic violence arrest.
Prosecutors in Florida say they dropped all the charges because his girlfriend was no longer cooperating with investigators, and made it clear she did not want him prosecuted.
She was the only witness, so without her prosecutors felt there was no chance of convicting Gordon.
TMZ broke the story ... Gordon was arrested in June for domestic violence. His girlfriend initially told police Nick punched her during an argument following a night out at a bar. We obtained photos of her alleged injuries.
The arrest also caught the attention of police in Georgia ... who are still investigating Gordon in connection with Bobbi Kristina's death.

Jim Brown on Kaepernick: I Would Never Disrespect the National Anthem
Jim Brown says he WANTS to support Colin Kaepernick's cause -- but admits he would NEVER disrespect the national anthem by taking a knee during a game.
Brown opened up about Kaep to The Post Game ... saying, "I want to be in his corner, and I do think, 'God bless him' -- but noting, "Colin has to make up his mind whether he's truly an activist or he's a football player."
"Football is commercial. You have owners. You have fans. And you want to honor that if you're making that kind of money."
"I can't be two things at once that contradict each other. If I sign for money, then the people I sign with, they have rules and regulations."
As for the protest, Brown says ... "I'm going to give you the real deal: I'm an American. I don't desecrate my flag and my national anthem."
"I'm not gonna do anything against the flag and national anthem. I'm going to work within those situations. But this is my country, and I'll work out the problems, but I'll do it in an intelligent manner."

Taylor Swift Look What Kanye, Katy Made Me Do!
It's now obvious Taylor Swift's been sharpening her lyrical knives during her hiatus -- she whipped 'em out for Katy Perry AND Kanye West in her new track, "Look What You Made Me Do."
Tay Tay just dropped a music video for the track, and the lyrics leave no doubt who she's attacking. She sings, "I don't like your little games ... don't like your tilted stage" in the opening verse -- a clear reference to Kanye's last tour.
Taylor also clearly refers to 'Ye calling her a bitch in, "Famous" -- "The role you made me play of the fool ... no, I don't like you."
The 2nd verse seems to be targeting Katy for their feud over tour dancers -- and she plays off those snake teasers she's been posting. They're all over the animated music vid.
The track is dripping with revenge shots like ... "Maybe I got mine, but one day you'll get yours" and "I've got a list of names and yours is in red, underlined."
It's always the quiet ones.

LeSean McCoy Colin Kaepernick Ain't Good Enough ... Not Worth The Distraction

LeSean McCoy says there's only one reason Colin Kaepernick isn't in the NFL ... he's not that good at football.
McCoy unloaded about Kaepernick after Bills practice moments ago ... saying he doesn't believe the league is being unfair to the embattled QB at all.
"You just got to look at all sides, like if I'm an owner, or the GM of a team, do I want to put him on my team? Is he good enough to be on the squad, to even deal with everything that's going on? That's something that I don't really partake in," Shady said.
That wasn't all, the Pro Bowl running back went on to say he thinks a better player like Tom Brady or Odell Beckham wouldn't even be dealing with the heat Kaep is getting.
"Take a guy like Michael Vick who went through all that he went through. He's 10 times better than Kaepernick. So you'll deal with that situation. You'll deal with that attention, the media aspect of it, the good the bad attention to it compared to Kaepernick, he's really not that good of a player."

UFC's Mark Hunt Jon Jones Is a 'Cheating Ass Loser'
UFC heavyweight Mark Hunt is throwing MAJOR shade at Jon Jones -- calling the guy a "cheating ass loser" after failing his UFC 214 drug test.
Hunt has gone through steroid scandals in the past -- his UFC 200 opponent tested positive for a banned substance after they fought. Hunt sued the UFC and demanded Brock Lesnar's fight checks as punishment.
So, when Hunt found out about Jones testing positive for his match against Daniel Cormier, the Super Samoan went off.
"DC should get all of Jones money," Hunt said ... before calling Jones a "betch" and a "cheating ass loser."
He then mocked Jones' bible verse tattoo -- saying, "Philippians 4:13 I can do all things through him who gives me strength plus the juice."
Burn.
