AP source: Von Miller to be on ‘DWTS’
ENGLEWOOD, Colo.
Von Miller won’t have to worry about getting fined for the dances he’s about to come up with next.
A person with knowledge of the situation confirmed to The Associated Press on Thursday night that the Super Bowl MVP will be a contestant on ABC’s upcoming season of “Dancing with the Stars.”
The person spoke on condition of anonymity because the show’s full cast won’t be revealed until next week on “Good Morning America.”
BSN Denver first reported Miller’s scheduled appearance on the popular prime-time show.
Miller has made a career of sacking quarterbacks and celebrating with different dances, some of which have gotten him fined. His “Key & Peele” sack dance last season cost him $11,567.
Since Miller’s pair of sack strips of Cam Newton led the Denver Broncos past the Carolina Panthers 24-10 in the Super Bowl, he’s been a staple on the talk-show circuit, ESPN and the NFL Network. He also made a cameo on “Saturday Night Live” and presented at the Grammy Awards.
Autopsy: Unclear if Bobbi Kristina’s death was accidental
ATLANTA
An autopsy determined Bobbi Kristina Brown had a mix of drugs in her body when she went underwater in a bathtub, but a medical examiner couldn’t tell whether her death was a homicide, making the criminal investigation tougher.
The medical examiner’s report released Friday showed that Brown, the daughter of singers Whitney Houston and Bobby Brown, had morphine, cocaine, alcohol and prescription drugs in her body. The report, released after months of speculation about how she died, said the medical examiner’s office couldn’t figure out if it was a suicide, a homicide or accidental so it classified the manner of death as “undetermined.”
Joey Feek of duo Joey + Rory, dies at 40
NASHVILLE, Tenn.
Joey Feek, who with her husband, Rory, formed the award-winning country duo Joey + Rory, died Friday, her manager said.
Feek, who had been diagnosed with cancer two years ago, died at home in Indiana, Aaron Carnahan said.
The brunette singer from Alexandria, Ind., found success when she paired up with her songwriter husband on the Country Music Television singing competition “Can You Duet?” in 2008.
In 2014, she was diagnosed with cervical cancer, which continued to spread despite multiple surgeries, chemotherapy and radiation treatment. Last fall, Rory Feek wrote on his blog that they had decided to end treatment.
