The Show must go on

Death Threats won't stop her from Dancing: Erin Andrews

Can't Erin Andrews catch a break?

It's barely been two weeks since the stalker who followed her around the country and videotaped her in her hotel rooms was sentenced to 30 months in prison.

Now it's emerged that the popular ESPN sportscaster has been getting death threats in the form of e-mails sent to The Dan Patrick Show. Only recently discovered by producers for the program, the e-mails date back to September 2009 and grew particularly violent in recent weeks, with one declaring that "Somebody should shoot her in the face."

Despite the threats, Andrews will remain on Dancing With the Stars. The show is adding increased security around Erin and throughout production.

Let's hope this (finally) silences the chorus of victim-blamers who contend that Andrews somehow "deserved" to be stalked or that she is "capitalizing" on her notoriety by appearing on DWTS. Andrews explained it best on Good Morning America after the conviction of her stalker:

"I did nothing wrong. The hardest thing is that I still have to say that to people... you know, 'How can you do this?' 'How did you feel it was OK to go on with your life?' You turn the tables on them and say, 'Because what did I do? What did I do wrong?'"

Drake may have had a couple bad weekends recently, but that didn’t stop him from blessing some lucky Houstonians this past Valentine’s Day weekend.

The Toronto rapper/singer-turned-Houston rancher surprised diners at both Juliet Steakhouse and Bungalow Downtown Dining on Valentine’s Day by treating the patrons to dinner. A video recently appeared on the Juliet’s Instagram stories showing two female employees approaching a dinner-party table full of ladies and letting them know that the Certified Lover Boy is hooking them up. Diners at Bungalow had a similar experience when members of Drake’s Angels told them the rapper was picking up their tabs.

Drake, who has hosted events at Juliet in the past, reached out to owner Jamie Allen to make it happen, according to a press release. In addition to the women in the video, other couples and singles in the eatery also got comped.

At Bungalow — part of Houston’s ALife Hospitality Group that also includes Kamp, FRNDS Restaurant & Lounge, and Stick Talk Cajun Hibachi — the total amounted to more than $10,000. The restaurant's marketing firm shared the moment on Instagram.

This surprise comes on the heels of $ome $exy $ongs 4 U, the new album Drake released on Valentine’s Day. While most of the album consists of soulful bangers featuring him and fellow emo-R&B Canuck PARTYNEXTDOOR, he did address his neverending beef with LA rap god Kendrick Lamar on “Gimme a Hug.” The track has him doubling down on his party-boy lifestyle – “F— a rap beef, I’m tryna get the party lit,” he raps.

Earlier today, it was announced that Drake will be getting all lovey-dovey with London this summer. He’ll headline all three nights of the Wireless Festival, his first set of UK performances in six years, at Finsbury Park in London. He’ll be joined by PARTYNEXTDOOR, Summer Walker, Burna Boy, and Vybz Kartel.
