Following news earlier this year that parent company Panda Energy International was looking to sell part of the rights to Tna Entertainment, LLC, The Wrestling Observer’s Dave Meltzer is reporting that a serious party with an interest in investing has emerged.
A sticking point between the two sides, however, is that the potential buyer wants an estimated 55% of the wrestling promotion, while Tna President Dixie Carter wants Panda to maintain majority control.
Tna was founded in 2002 by Jeff and Jerry Jarrett, who used a weekly PPV model to air company programming rather than getting a television deal. This proved to be financially unsuccessful, and when a key investor pulled out only months after the company formed, Tna looked to be doomed. In October of 2002, Carter convinced her parents, the owners of Panda Energy, to invest in Tna, and the Carters bought a 71% share in the promotion. Since then,...

Research shows that pregnant women who drink a large glass of wine a day while pregnant can cause growth restrictions for their children for up to nine years, claims a new report. Read on to find out more. A study at the Harvard Medical School found that expectant mothers who drank at least three units of alcohol a day stunted their children's growth for the next nine years. "We found that children born to women who drank heavily during pregnancy had reductions in weight, height, and head circumference, an indicator of brain growth," said author Dr. Robert Carter. The growth restrictions caused by the mother's alcohol consumption were present from birth until about the age of nine. The researchers tested 85 pregnant women from a pre-natal clinic who were self-described as "heavy" drinkers and then compared them to 63 pregnant women who either did not drink or were described as "light" drinkers.

Prince William and Kate Middleton attended a friend's wedding at the St. Andrew's Church in Wingfield, England, on Saturday. Her childhood pal Hannah Gillingham tied the knot with Robert Carter. Kate's sister, a Project D-clad Pippa Middleton, was also along for the ceremony, as was Richard Branson's daughter Holly. Kate wore an Erdem dress that she also sported during her and William's tour of Canada last Summer, but this time, she accessorized with an Alexander McQueen belt. Her clutch was from UK designer Anya Hindmarch. William and Kate marked their own wedding, which was one year ago yesterday, privately. Despite a busy last week that included numerous public events and a dressed-up outing to the premiere of African Cats, William and Kate spent their anniversary together, just the two of them, at their Wales residence. According to reports, Kate wanted to prepare a meal of fish cooked in parchment.

This story just gets more heartbreaking. Leslie Carter passed away suddenly on Tuesday in upstate New York, and with toxicology reports pending, we still don’t know the official cause of death. But now an incident report from emergency responders indicates that a cocktail of prescription drugs is likely what caused the 25-year-old’s sudden death, according to ABC News.
Ginger Carter, Leslie’s stepmother, revealed that Leslie had “a long history of mental illness and was on medication for her depression.” Her toxicology report also showed that Leslie had at least three drugs around her: Olanzapine, used to treat the symptoms of schizophrenia and bipolar disorder; Cyclobenzaprine (a muscle relaxant) and Alprazolam, used for anxiety or panic disorders. Apparently, Ginger told authorities that Leslie had looked depressed on the morning of January 30 and had fallen in the shower. Ginger helped Leslie lie down after her fall, but it was...
