The refusal comes on the back of reports that Terry had an extramarital affair with Bridge's ex-girlfriend.

The scheduled sentencing for rap star Lil Wayne has just been postponed due to a fire breaking out in court. A new FPS game "Battlefield: Bad Company 2" has just been released. If you were to travel back to this day, notable figures such as Corey Haim, Chris Kanyon, Paul Gray, and Gary Coleman would all still be alive.
