Domino’s Pizza CEO David Brandon is leaving the large pizza giant to become the next athletic director (AD) at the University of Michigan.  Brandon played football at Michigan under Bo Schembechler as a backup quarterback.

A former Michigan football player, Brandon has numerous ties to the university but it’s still noteworthy for a current CEO to step down to become an athletic director. Then again, Brandon was reportedly a candidate to become commissioner of the National Football League in 2006 when Roger Goodell was hired and even had the support of Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones.

Brandon said that Domino’s is in great shape and he plans to stay closely connected to the mediocre pizza chain.

“My leadership team, our team members and franchisees are the very best in this — or any – business,” Brandon said in a statement. “I will continue to stay connected to this great brand and company as chairman of the board, and I am confident that, under Patrick’s leadership, Domino’s Pizza will continue to grow and succeed. This company’s best days still lie ahead.”

Brandon will replace Bill Martin upon approval from the Board of Regents.  J. Patrick Doyle is expected to replace Brandon as CEO at Domino’s.

Singer Whitney Houston, who is well known for “cracking” under pressure, may have fallen off the wagon and start doing drugs again, which could compromise the success of her comeback with the album “I Look To You”.

According to National Enquirer, the singer’s recent erratic behavior has been worrying her friends, who believe she slipped back into some of her old habits. Whitney could be already mixing alcohol and her drug of choice, crack cocaine, which is also dangerous to her health.

“Everyone is worried about her,” revealed a source. “Whitney seems to go from being a nervous wreck to being completely out of it in a short period of time – just like she did when she was freebasing and using crack cocaine.

“She is still drinking and with Whitney, alcohol and drugs have always gone hand-in-hand. She’s worked so hard to get back on top. It would be tragic for it to go up in smoke because she can’t stay clean.”

NO! Whitney cannot go back to that place. The Diva’s career has been plagued with problems like drug addiction and an allegedly abusive husband (Bobby Brown). She is more mature now and has a teenage daughter, Bobbi Christina (photos), who looks up to her, so we really hope this isn’t true.

Tiger Woods’ legal team has already threatened to go after anyone who even thinks about the possibility of publishing nude photos or videos of the golfer but that is not going to stop Vivid Entertainment from shopping around.

Steven Hirsch, Vivid’s honcho, reveals he was approached by a woman, who claimed to have a sex tape of Tiger, a couple of weeks ago. Vivid has seen approximately 30 seconds of that tape, which was shot two years ago, and they are still trying to confirm the identity of the players. [Tiger Woods Mistresses List (PHOTOS)]

There is absolutely no way Tiger will ever allow that tape to be seen in public much less to be distributed by a porn company. Meanwhile if you really want to know what this sex tape looks like, you watch a sneak peek here (WARNING: NSFW!).

Despite fiancé Tila Tequila’s claims (via Twitter) that Casey Johnson wasn’t really death but in a coma, police confirmed they found her body and it seems she had been dead for days. The cause of death appears to be natural, however, an autopsy will be performed and the LAPD has already opened an investigation.

“It appears to be a natural death,” says police Officer Sara Faden. “There’s no evidence of foul play. A toxicology report from the coroner’s office will proceed next.”

Granddaughter of the founder of pharmaceutical giant, Johnson & Johnson, and daughter of New York Jets owner, Robert Wood Johnson, Casey leaves and adopted daughter named Ava. The heiress had a troubled relationship with Tila’s ex, Courtenay Semel, and the two had reportedly joined forces (aka got engaged!) to get back at their ex-lover.

Dr. Michael Kamrava has been finally accused of negligence for providing fertility treatment to an unstable patient, Nadya Suleman aka Octomom, by the Medical Board of California that demands the “revoking or suspending” of his license.

The Board also claims that Octomom, who is one of our “Most Hated Celebs Of 2009” was putting her kids at risk, concluding, “His [Dr. Kamrava’s] failure to recognize that [Suleman's] behavior was outside the norm and that her conduct was placing her offspring at risk for potential harm.”

Singer Rihanna, who will launch her first book titled “The Last Girl On Earth” in June, and LA Dodgers star Matt Kemp are reportedly dating (photos below). The two have been spotted together in Los Angeles and he even followed her to Dubai, where she gave a private performance on New Year’s Eve.

“Rihanna and Matt are starting to get serious – he even followed her to Dubai for New Years,” the insider tells Hollywood Life, adding, “Rihanna likes him because he’s such a gentleman… and super sexy!”

Rihanna and Matt are not even trying to hide and she is clearly happy. She deserves to be happy after dating a completely douchebag, woman-beater like Chris Brown! Rihanna had been romantically linked to Justin Timberlake, Wilmer Valderrama, Tristan Wilds, Andrew Bynum and Drake (aka Aubrey Graham).

Socialite Paris Hilton took to her Twitter (@parishilton) last night to share her sadness and grief over the tragic death of her long-time friend Casey Johnson, heiress to the Johnson & Johnson fortune.

Our condolences go out to the Johnson and Hilton families during this time of mourning.

Embattled former NBA star Jayson Williams was reportedly in a DUI wreck last night in New York City.

The New York Police Department said it appeared Williams may have been drinking before the accident at 3:15 a.m. this morning on a northbound exit of the FDR Drive. However, he has not been charged.

Williams was in the passenger seat when officers arrived. But witnesses told police they saw him on the driver’s side. Officers said no one else was in the car.

Williams was taken to a local hospital after he hit a tree, that didn’t move.  He has been in and out of court over the past decade for accidentally shooting his limo driver and then covering up the events.

Witnesses testified that Williams was showing off a shotgun in his bedroom in February 2002 when he snapped the weapon shut and it fired one shot that struck a hired driver, Costas Christofi, in the chest. They also testified that Williams initially placed the gun in the dead man’s hands and instructed those present to lie about what happened.

Williams was hurt in the DUI accident last night, but there has been no report on the seriousness of his injuries.
