A hundred firefighters continue to battle a stubborn fire at the Patrick Cudahy Inc. plant in Cudahy since Sunday afternoon. Mayor Ryan McCue has declared a state of emergency which forced a shutdown of the massive meat processing plant and led to the evacuation of certain portions of the city.

High levels of ammonia seeping into the air and smoke inhalation are the biggest concerns now since there have been no victims because of the fire. A mandatory evacuation is being done in a one mile radius of the plant at One Sweet Apple-Wood Lane. Officials advice residents in the surrounding area to evacuate immediately if there’s any smell or smoke.

The building affected by the fire is used for microwave bacon processing and also is used for dry storage. Only a small number of maintenance employees were at the plant when the fire broke out. Production at the plant had been shut down since the end of the day on July 3 for the holiday weekend.

The new ESPN show SportsNation debuted today at 4pm EDT on ESPN2.  The show is co-hosted by the extremely cute Michelle Beadle and ESPN Radio’s Colin Cowherd.

Beadle comes across as beautiful, intelligent, and almost always more knowledgeable than Cowherd about sports.  She is on top of her game and strongly overshadows Cowherd visually and often intellectually.  Cowherd for sure is more comfortable on radio than he appears to be on TV.

Michelle is a better looking and smarter version of Erin Andrews.  Michelle is to Albert Pujols as Erin is to Jeff Francoeur.

The show is interactive and calls on the audience often to vote on debated topics via online polls on ESPN.com

SportsNation is new, fresh, entertaining and is a much needed break from dated ESPN shows like Pardon the Interuption and Around the Horn.

Fans believe Michael Jackson’s ghost made an appearance during a CNN special titled “Inside Neverland” that also featured a Larry King interview with MJ’s brother Jermaine Jackson.

An eerie shadow resembling Michael’s figure appeared on a wall in the singer’s former home and walked across the corridor, moving quickly from left to right. This is fueling a debate between fans, who solemnly believe this is the spirit of the late King Of Pop and others who are more skeptical to believe Michael is haunting the Neverland Ranch.

Here is the first look (video below) at the much anticipated movie “Jennifer’s Body” starring super sexy, evil Megan Fox. This is a red band version but the official trailer only comes out on Friday (July 10).

Director Karyn Kusama, screenwriter Diablo Cody and producer Jason Reitman released a joint statement to declare this is just a preview of the movie, a filmmaker’s cut. They hope this can capture the comedy and the essence of old horror movies.

The ‘Transformers’ star plays a small-town high school student named Jennifer who is possessed by a hungry demon. While not herself, the ‘hot’ cheerleader begins feeding on boys. Her bookish best friend Needy must take drastic measures to protect their town.

WOW! After watching this trailer, I do want to see the movie. Megan is just perfect for the role. “Jennifer’s Body” will hit theaters on September 18, 2009.

UPDATE: Sahel Kazemi Shot Steve McNair In His Sleep

Former Titans Quarterback Steve McNair and Sahel Kazemi, who were shot dead in what appears to be a murder/suicide, had been dating for five months and had been planning to tie the knot as soon as the 36 year-old got a divorce from his wife Mechelle McNair (photo here).

Steve and Sahel were often seen together, they spent several mini-vacations together (photos below) and they were reportedly smitten with each other. We can clearly see in these photos, the couple had great chemistry and were having a good time.

“I was under the impression that his family knew about her,” Abdi, Sahel’s nephew, said. “That he took the children alone with him on vacation is a sign that they were separated.”

“That’s why she was like, ‘OK, now you’re divorcing. We can date,’ ” Salmani, Sahel’s sister, said. “He told her, it was going to be finished, the whole divorce was going to be done, two weeks from yesterday.”

Although there were no divorce papers filed in Nashville, Steve and Mechelle’s family home was for sale and he had recently spent time alone with his children. Sahel’s family claim she was a sweet girl and was very much in love (watch video below).

UPDATE: Steve McNair & Sahel Kazemi Steamy Affair (Photos, Video)

The woman found dead with former Titans Quarterback, Steve McNair, has been identified – her name is Sahel Kazemin and the two have reportedly been having an affair for at least five months, according to the Tennessean.

McNair was found on the sofa with several gunshot wounds, including one to the head, while Sahel was on the floor near him with a single gunshot wound to head. A gun was also found near her body at a Second Avenue condominium that he rented on Saturday (July 4). As we first reported, it seems to be a murder/suicide but police is still waiting for the autopsy results to confirm it.

McNair was married to Mechelle McNair, the mother of three of his four children, who was first believed to be the female victim, was devastated when she heard the news.

The former quarterback’s family released the following statement: “The families of Steve McNair in Mississippi and Tennessee appreciate the concern, thoughts and prayers during this difficult time of our loss of a husband, father and son. The family requests everyone would allow them time to mourn. The McNair family appreciates and continues to request your prayers at this time.”

Sahel, a 20 year-old woman who worked at an Opry Mills restaurant, had been arrested and charged with DUI just two days ago (July 2). The vehicle she drove was a 2007 black Cadillac Escalade, which was in both her and McNair’s names. Police have confirmed McNair was, in fact, in the car when it happened but they allowed him to take a cab home. McNair later bailed Sahel out of jail.

A 20-year old female, Sahel Kazemi, was found dead in the condo as well, with a single gunshot wound to her head.  She was found dead laying on top of the gun. Kazemi’s sister, Soheyla Kazemi, told ESPN that McNair told her sister that he was going to get a divorce so they could get married.

McNair was married for 12 years and had four sons.

A 911 call came into police at 1:35 pm local time. McNair and a female were found dead from a gunshot to the head inside a condominium at 2nd Avenue South and Lea Avenue. Nashville police spokesman Don Aaron said, “The circumstances surrounding the shooting deaths remain under active investigation.”

McNair was a Pro Bowler three-times in the NFL and shared the MVP award with Peyton Manning in 2003.

More Details from McNair’s Relationship with Kazemi

UPDATE: Police have verified that McNair’s death was the result of a homicide, but they have not officially ruled on Kazemi’s death.  The police are leaning towards calling Kazemi’s death a suicide.  The evidence points to Kazemi killing McNair before turning the gun on herself.

Stay tuned as this tragic story continues to develop.
