Owner of the Yankees baseball team, George Steinbrenner, passed away this morning at the age of 80. Steinbrenner suffered a massive heart attack at home in Tampa, Florida, and passed away shortly thereafter.

Steinbrenner was probably the most notable Yankees owner, like, ever, in that he held seven World Championship teams and eleven pennant winners. He was also famed for putting all of the team profits back into his team, instead of putting the profits back into his pocket, though he faced a lot of scrutiny for the outrageous Yanee player payroll.

Current Yankee shortstop Derek Jeter recently said of Steinbrenner:

“He’s arguably the most recognized owner in all of sports.”

And he was right. I never followed the Yankees, much less baseball (at least since cutie Darren Daulton played for the Phillies back in the nineties — my grandma had a huge crush on him, and by virtue, I did, too), but I always knew who he was because of George Costanza’s constant referrals to — and employment by — the team owner on Seinfeld.

RIP, George, and have a ball managing the all-star team up in the sky.

Remember America Ferrara? You know, that actress best known for her role on Ugly Betty? Yup, well, she got engaged earlier this week to her long-term boyfriend, Ryan Piers Williams. Is he British? With a name like ‘Ryan Piers Williams,’ he’s got to be British. And is everyone getting married off or engaged these days? Summer of Death 2010 is turning into Summer of Love or whatever.

Anyway, Ferrara looks absolutely amazing in these photos. Like, really great. This is one woman that literally gets better looking as she ages. At every photo in this gallery, I was like, “Damn. She is gorgeous, and this Piers guy is one lucky dude.”

And he’s nothing to sneeze at, either. He reminds me of this guy I dated in NYC for a while. Cute.

What about you guys — which would you rather, America, or fiancé Ryan Piers Williams?

You got it. The Gary Coleman who’s dead had signed paperwork stating that he was to take advantage of all of the options that would have prolonged his life, should he have some kind of possible-ex-wife-induced (or, you know, any other kind of) accident. But yet, ex-wife Shannon Price claims that she was “forced” into pulling the plug. Forced, chose to, hey. There’s a fine line somewhere there, right? Ugh.

According to documents secured by TMZ, Gary’s paperwork citing to utilize life-saving measures no matter what the cost dated back to 2006, so it’s not as if it was something new that could have possibly been overlooked or pushed under the rug, far away from the public’s prying eyes.

In continuously fishy news, Shannon Price claims that she didn’t sell her ex-husband’s death photos. Oh, that and I’m a flying unicorn named “Mamie” who shits gold bricks. Just so you know.

Gary’s death is being ruled an “accident,” and in light of this decision, a second autopsy will not be performed. At who’s request, I don’t know, but it’s just not happening. According to Todd Bradford, Shannon’s attorney, Shannon is stoked that Gary can finally “rest”:

“Shannon is relieved that the cremation can go forward and is happy for Gary that he will get his wishes, the one he made clear in all of his wills.”

What a sick, sad situation. Poor Gary. Even in death, these horrible people won’t leave his ass (or assets) alone.
