Cincinnati Bengals No Jersey Cancer Fundraiser ... Without Devon Still
The program raised more than $1.3 MILLION last year -- but now that Devon Still has been cut by the Bengals, there will be no "Round 2" of his jersey fundraiser ... this according to the team.
The Bengals stepped up in a big way last year -- participating in a program where a majority of the money brought in from Still jersey sales went to the Cincinnati Children's Hospital.
No question, the Bengals did a very cool thing -- and props to them for it.
But now that Still has been released -- we asked the team if there were any plans to continue the program in some form ... possibly involving Still, since he's so beloved by the Cinci community.
The short answer -- no.
A rep for the Bengals explained the 2014 program was a "unique opportunity to help Devon’s efforts to help others ... but as he is no longer with us, there is no ongoing program."
The rep adds, "Devon and Leah are of course in the team's thoughts and prayers, and also of course, we are happy to know she is in remission."

Hayden Panettiere Shelling Out Loot for Both Parents During Divorce War
Hayden Panettiere is a dream daughter, helping both her mom and dad who are locked in a bitter divorce fight ... seemingly without taking sides.
Hayden's mom says she's virtually destitute with no place to live in L.A., and were it not for the generosity of her daughter she could be homeless. Lesley Panettiere claims in legal docs her estranged husband Alan has paid her only 4 months worth of spousal support since 2012.
Lesley says Hayden is letting her stay in the actress' West Hollywood condo for free, until she can get back on her feet.
But Hayden's generosity doesn't stop there. According to the docs, Hayden gave Alan a $100,000 gift just this year.
Lesley was making money by managing Hayden when she was a minor, but when she turned 18 she got a professional agency. That left Lesley without work, though she's trying to become a producer.
Lesley and Alan have a difficult past. In 2008 Alan was criminally charged with misdemeanor battery for striking Lesley in the face. He pled no contest.

DMX The Flesh of My Flesh Betrayed Me
DMX is indignant and hurt over what he considers supreme betrayal by his own son, who is selling the rapper's platinum records while he sits in jail.
X's son Xavier wants to jump-start his own music career with cash, and the cash cow was laying right in his closet. DMX lived with Xavier and his mom until 2007, when the woman threw X out. He left lots of stuff behind, including the platinum records.
Xavier put precious platinums for the albums "And Then There Was X" and "Flesh of My Flesh, Blood of My Blood" on eBay for a total of $3,000.
X is livid, telling us it's his stuff and not Xavier's. What's more, DMX says it shows supreme ingratitude ... he says he took his baby mama out of the projects and got her a house next to Martha Stewart's.
Blood of My Blood just got real.

Rob Kardashian All Signs Point to Dramatic Weight Loss
Rob Kardashian not only looks like he's lost a lot of weight, there's a not-so-subtle message he seems to be telegraphing.
Rob posted this Saturday, presumably at a restaurant where he was eating a salad.
The phantom Kardashian has resurfaced this week after a long absence, and it's clear he's ready to show the progress he's made in the weight department. Rob's been working with trainer Gunnar Peterson, with the goal of losing 100 lbs.
The drink on the table's interesting ... could be an ice tea, but maybe a red bull and vodka or a margarita. Door number 1 would be the wisest choice.
Good luck Rob.

Damon Wayans Taking Heat Some of Cosby's Accusers 'Un-Rapable"
Damon Wayans is drawing fire for comments he made about Bill Cosby's accusers, some of which sounded like he was making a joke but there also seemed to be an underpinning of seriousness.
Damon was talking to Charlamagne Tha God on The Breakfast Club Friday, when he unloaded on the accusers, musing that some of them waited 40 years to lodge complaints and saying, "How big is his penis that it gives you amnesia for 40 years."
But the biggest criticism emanates from his comment that some of the women were "un-rapable."
So we gotta ask ...
