Scandals

Warde Manuel's days at the helm of the University of Michigan athletic department are numbered ... the AD is stepping down at the end of the year after a massive investigation into the Sherrone Moore scandal.

"Today, I am announcing that Warde Manuel has told me that he would like to step down," Michigan President Domenico Grasso announced, before thanking the longtime administrator.

"I have the deepest respect for Warde and his countless contributions to Michigan and have asked him to stay on until the end of the calendar year."

Nolan Wells' grieving mother says someone sent a cruel piece of hate mail straight to her home ... mocking her push for answers about her 18-year-old son's mysterious death.

Christine Wonsley shared the anonymous mailing on Facebook ... a photo showing Rev. Al Sharpton and attorney Ben Crump supporting her alongside her husband, Elmore Wonsley -- now defaced with arrows pointing from the men toward Christine and dollar signs seemingly implying they were exploiting her grief for money.

Christine fired back, writing ... "Whoever sent this to my home, may the good Lord have mercy on your soul."

The FBI is investigating alleged threats that they say have been sparked by the case surrounding Nolan Wells' mysterious death.

FBI Jackson said in a statement that the federal level of the Bureau "has been working to address interstate threats" that they say were received by "individuals related to this matter."

It's unclear what kinds of threats were made and who was on the receiving end, but FBI Jackson added ... "these efforts are in parallel with Jackson County’s independent investigation."

Justin Baldoni just got a whole bunch of love sent his way by his "Jane the Virgin" costars after he broke his silence on his nasty legal battle with Blake Lively.

Check it out -- after Justin and his wife, Emily Baldoni, addressed the end of the years-long legal battle with a video statement on Instagram, Gina Rodriguez commented on the post, saying ... "♥️ love you friends. Por vida."

Their costar Brett Dier added, "I love you guys ❤️❤️."

Justin and Emily broke their silence on the Blake saga Wednesday ... with Justin saying it all boiled down to one thing ... "injustice."

Guess this Wolf is on the hunt for cougars ... that's what Dylan Wolf is doing when it comes to Bunnie XO.

We got the 24-year-old "Calabasas Confidential" star leaving Barney's Beanery in WEHO on Wednesday night, and -- of course -- we had to ask him about his seemingly ongoing fling with 46-year-old Bunnie and their July 4th makeout sesh in Nashville.

Dylan puts it like this ... "Sometimes a cowboy wants to hunt cougars."

The dude was wearing a cowboy hat as he got all philosophical ... and he also told us he's got a lot of love for both Bunnie and her estranged husband, Jelly Roll, and respects that they have "a lot going on right now."

Mike Vrabel and his wife Jen are still together after the Dianna Russini scandal ... and surprisingly, they're on the way to Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce's wedding ... but that's not enough to get them to crack a smile.

The New England Patriots head coach and his better half were all business Friday as they left a hotel to make the trek to Madison Square Garden, as seen in video obtained by Page Six.

See for yourself ... Jen looks like she's downright frowning.

Richard Pryor's daughter is opening up life as a kid of the legendary funnyman ... and one memory in particular is pretty messed up ... and it involves her mother, a fight, and a racial slur.

Elizabeth Stordeur Pryor, Richard's third eldest child with Maxine Silverman, says in her new book, "Something We Said: Richard Pryor, a Notorious Word, and Me" that her white mom called her the N-word during an argument when she was just 12 years old.

That memory is seared into her mind ... and she says it was one of her earliest traumatic experiences as a biracial woman.

Dianna Russini didn't just lose a job amid the Mike Vrabel controversy ... she also lost a pretty hefty paycheck!

The veteran NFL reporter was pulling in close to $800,000 a year at The Athletic, according to its parent organization, The New York Times Company ... making her one of the highest-paid journalists at the mass media corporation.

According to the NYT, Diana was in the middle of contract renewal talks when the scandal erupted ... with her existing deal set to expire at the end of June.

Steven Tyler is pushing for another crack at questioning his accuser ... claiming newly disclosed information points to a possible alternative source of her alleged emotional trauma.

According to new court filings obtained by TMZ, Tyler's legal team says Julia Holcomb -- who claims the Aerosmith rocker sexually abused her after they began a relationship when she was 16 years old -- recently revealed a separate issue in her life that led her and her husband to seek marriage counseling.

Tyler says he only learned about it earlier this year, when Julia -- now known as Julia Misley -- also disclosed she'd recently started seeing a therapist. Now, he wants to question both her and her husband again before trial.

Dianna Russini once cracked a joke about having husband and wife sex, saying you need to close your eyes to do it in a resurfaced clip that's gone viral.

In the video, which now seems awkward given her situation with Mike Vrabel, Russini is playing Barstool's version of "Family Feud" game with a bunch of dudes, including Vrabel himself.

Vrabel, of course, is the New England Patriots coach with whom Russini has carried on a cozy relationship that forced her to resign as The Athletic's NFL reporter and turned their lives into a media circus.

Monica Lewinsky is able to laugh at her infamous past with Bill Clinton ... and that's exactly what she did during a West Hollywood event Thursday night.

Check out our clip -- Clinton's former White House intern and affair partner spoke on a panel titled "The Fluency Gap in Women's Wealth" alongside Mika Brzezinski and Racquel Oden at HSBC's "The Financial Glow Up" event at the 1 Hotel in WeHo.

When she's asked if she'd do anything differently in her past knowing what she knows now ... she let out a tongue-in-cheek smile and giggle and clarified that the question was about money.

Mike Vrabel's decision to skip out on Day 3 of the NFL draft for counseling isn't sitting well with one of the most popular Patriots fans alive -- Dave Portnoy says he's all for the coach getting help ... but it's the timing that has him irked.

The New England coach revealed Wednesday night he was seeking help to be "the best version of me" for his family and the team ... and he was getting the ball rolling this weekend after Page Six published more snaps from his time with Dianna Russini in Arizona last month.

The decision means the Pats will pick their new players in rounds 4-7 without their coach ... and the Barstool Sports honcho isn't too pleased about it.

A Trump Administration counterterrorism official has reportedly been put on ice after she allegedly scammed her ex-boyfriend out of $40,000 during their 3-month romance.

Julia Varvaro was placed on administrative leave from the Department of Homeland Security and removed from her lofty position as a Deputy Assistant Secretary, according to a DHS statement.

Her ex-lover -- identified only as Robert B. -- filed a DHS complaint, saying he spent $30,000 to $40,000 to take Varvaro on lavish vacations and shower her with expensive jewelry, the Daily Mail reports.

Cher might be adding “grandma” to her legendary résumé -- and if this long-buried family secret is true, it came with a plot twist straight out of a soap opera.

Former model Kayti Edwards is claiming she dropped a bombshell on the pop icon last year … telling her she shares a daughter with Cher’s son, Elijah Blue Allman -- a kid Cher allegedly didn’t even know existed for more than a decade.

According to Edwards, who spoke to The Sun, she and Elijah had a brief relationship back in 2010 that resulted in the birth of a daughter named Ever. She claims Elijah always knew about the child, but never stepped up as a full-time dad … allegedly popping in every few years, but keeping his distance from parenting duties.

Felicity Huffman really didn’t need to pull all that college admissions drama for her daughter Sophia Macy -- turns out she’s doing just fine ... actually, better than her!

We caught up with Felicity in NYC Tuesday, and when asked if she’s been giving her budding actress daughter any advice ... she flipped it, saying Sophia’s actually so good, she’s the one taking notes from her.

Check the clip -- the proud mom energy is loud and clear, with Felicity saying she just wants both her daughters happy, no matter what path they choose.
