Michael Phelps pot charges dropped, celebrates at the strip club!

Good news for the 14 time Olympic gold medalist. A South Carolina sheriff announced that charges will not be pressed because the above photo does not provide enough evidence to charge him because it is impossible to confirm the contents within the pipe. And we all know what that means....

LET"S MAKE IT RAIN ON THEM SKRIPPAS!


Page Six is claiming that since the above photo surfaced, Phelps has been extremely aware of photos taken of him during his extra-curriculars. He has reportedly had the windows of his Baltimore house tinted to prevent paparazzi from snapping shots of him at home and has been "hiding out at strip clubs," since they're the only places he can party with no pictures being taken.

When the photo first surfaced a few weeks ago, it seemed as though the outcome was grim. First Kellog said they would not renew their contract with Phelps when their deal expires at the end of February 2009. Then USA Swimming annouced that Phelps would be suspended for 3 months, banning him from competitions and ceasing his monthly stipend of $1,750 a month from the organization during the suspension.

Several of Phelps’s sponsors, including Speedo, Omega and Visa, have accepted his apology. Others, including Subway, have not taken a position. As it stands, Phelps’s actions have put a dent into his sponsorship spoils, which some marketing experts say could reach $100 million in his lifetime.

And for those you are not mathmetically inclined, thats a whole lot of lap dances that will never happen in the champagne room...

Happy Star saved Rob Dyrdek's life!

Happy Star is a multi-dimensional, cosmic wonder. He's that ever-elusive being, that mothers tell their daughter's to save themselves for. Chuck Norris has NOTHING on Happy Star. He will serve you up a dish of badass, with a invincible smile on the side.

And he will save your life...

Is Allen Iverson a product of the "Obama Effect"?

2009 is a year for change, not only in the White House...but other places as well. Case in point, Allen Iverson's hair. After 13 years of intricate braid and cornrow designs, A.I. has cut it all off!



Go 'head and get your grown man on - I ain't mad at ya. Just makes sure you make it to practice. :)

Nate Robinson must have Jiminy Cricket juice on the soles of his shoes

It's been a few days since I watched the 2009 NBA All Star slam dunk contest, but I've continued to replay in my mind, the spectacle that was Nate Robinson that night.

His performance dazzled and captivated everyone. I felt pure, euphoric giddiness watching him!



Damn you, Jiminy Cricket! Your juice makes ya loose!

Pour one out for Eddie Jordan

Maaaaan o'maaaaan, it's been a long time since I last blogged, but today's firing of Eddie Jordan has upset me enough to hit up the blogosphere. (That and things have slowed down a bit at work LOL)

Just before the holidays? With this economy?! And a cast of overpaid and injured players!?! Awww, it just ain't right dogg. It just ain't right!

Eddie built this team and is of the most successful coaches among Washington DC sports franchises (in recent years). Yes the team was 1-10. I understand the pressure to make changes quickly because directionally the team is out of wack...

but damn, DAMN, DAAAAAAAMN Eddie!

Plus, homey Jordan shared my birthday. Hate to see you go playa ... but such is the game!

Shaunie and Shaq out together...again

First the divorcing couple were spotted out together with the kids. Not too shocking. After all, at the end of the day, every parent wants to provide stability and unity as a family for the sake of their children.

THEN, the two popped up together looking EXTRA cozy while attending Muhammad Ali’s Celebrity Fight Night charity in Phoenix on April 5.

Now alas, another spotting. The exes were spotted, with their son in tote at the Wildlife World Zoo last weekend.

Could there me a reconciliation in sight? I hope so. Even more so, I hope they know a good marriage counselor...

Lala might just be a ride or die chick

Lala has issued a statement to People.com regarding his fiance's DUI arrest this week. She wanted the world to know the following:

"I want to make sure the public understands that I fully support my fiancé, Carmelo Anthony and stand by him through this ordeal. I will always have his back and never refused to pick him up from the police station. In fact, they offered to bring him to me."

As YBF points out, that doesn't explain why the police took him to his Denver hotel room at the Ritz Carlton instead of his home with LaLa.

Hmmm, I think the milk tastes funny...

Daddy's little girls

Kobe Bryant has some hardcore supporters rallying for him to be the league's MVP.

His daughters Natalia and Gianna made signs for him during the Lakers vs San Antonio Spurs on Sunday. Despite the rape case drama in 2004, Kobe Bryant *seems* to be a bit more of the family man these days.

*Seems* being the keyword-you really never know what people are like behind closed doors.

In true Hollyhood fashion: Carmelo Anthony arrested for DUI

Way to go, "Nugget" head! Another genius move by a professional athlete/celebrity.

Carmelo was arrested on suspicion of drunk driving early Monday morning near downtown Denver after he was spotted weaving and failing to dim his high-beam headlights.

Question:It's a Monday night in Denver - why aren't you at home with your child and baby's mother? Is it that serious?

According to Denver's WKGN, the police apparently had to drive Carmelo home after he was processed. Guess Lala wasn't fittin' to pick his ass up!

Hide your children...

Lock your doors. Draw your blinds. And by all means, hide your MAC make-up. Dennis Rodman is on the loose and was recently spotted at the celebrity poker tournament in Sydney, Australia.

Authorities are telling citizens to keep their cocoa butter and aloe close. It is rumored to be the one thing that can keep the monster at bay.

Is it me, or is he looking mighty gray in these pictures. I hope it is just the lighting and not "the package" (right Jessica?)

Common and Serena still in creep mode...

These two are still trying to roll "incognegro" through Hollywood. Of all the places, the Villa?! They gotta know that the papz stay camped out there...

They must want us to know...

Banana on the ground...

Oops! I slipped up on my posting yalls. Work has been super busy and I have been on the go a lot. I will do better in the weeks to come...

Miss ya and all the hot mess BITCHASSEDNESS goin' on in sports! :)

Kim Kardashian hosts Caron Butler's birthday party at The Park

Last night, I stepped out for a bit to attend Caron Butler's 28th birthday party at one of my favorite new hot spots, The Park at Fourteenth. The Park has a gorgeous and classy interior, festive accents, and the light appetizers and finger foods were delicious. Very impressive.

Kim Kardashian was the "host" of the event, although I'm not really sure what that entails. Either way, she walked right by me and I must say she was very cute, and more petite than I had originally thought. However, the bundunk wasn't as overwhelming as I often have seen in pictures Maybe it was the dress.

We got there a bit early, and the place was PACKED by 11pm. And when I say PACKED, I mean overwhelmingly so. Between the fake me out divas there with their much older sugar daddies, groupies, stunnas ... it became a bit too much by midnight. I can only imagine how hard it is to orchestrate parties like that.

Celebs spotted: Kim Kardashian, Biz Markie, Ray Lewis, Carmen Electra, Brandon Haywood, Caron Butler, DeShawn Stevenson, Philippe Cousteau and "Onyx" from I Love New York. Onyx by the way was very nice and had no quams with picture requests.

The scene outside of the club...

There must be a shortage of men in Minnesota

Goodness! These chicks in Minnesota are looking seriously HUNGRY for Minnesota lineman, Bryant McKinnie:



Looks like we have some new candidates for Flavor of Love 4!

Super Bowl Redux

Tom Brady and Eli Manning had their first, post Super Bowl run in last night at Ermenegildo Zegna Store Opening in NYC. Both of them had their ladies by their side, so I'm sure they engaged in some fake, congratulatory banter.

I still don't find Tom Brady to be nearly as attractive as the hype that surrounds his looks...

Eli reminds me of one of those Play-Doh cartoon characters....

And Tiki Barber was at the event as well, rocking the "Dilbert" look. Dilbert Poindexter. Yea. That sounds about right.

The Hulkster took a dip in kiddie pool

Finally, more details that may provide insight into Hulk Hogan's divorce after 24 years of marriage. The Hulkster allegedly had a fling with his daughter Brooke's best friend, Christiane Plante, who then decided to blab about it to the National Enquirer. She told the Enquirer:

“My relationship with Terry (Hogan's real name) began at a time when Terry and Linda privately knew their marriage was ending. She had left him already, although no official papers had been filed. Terry is a good man, good father and a good friend, and he and I grew close at a time when he was going through a very difficult period. It seemed right then, but I know it was wrong. Having felt the guilt and pain build up, I gave a note to Brooke apologizing for my actions. I will never be able to fully forgive myself for this. I have lost an amazing friend.”

Yesterday, Brooke Hogan wrote a response to Christiane's tell all on her MySpace blog:

"I think she shoulda thought about what kinda press she was gonna get when she slept with her best friend's famous father . . . I think we're all seeing just exactly how karma works Christiane. Nothing you say will ever put my family back together."

Man, it's been a tough year for the Hogans. First, Nick Hogan's car accident that left his friend in a coma, and now this! I wish them all the best.

I swear, it must be that reality television curse....

Serena could snap your neck with her thighs

These pictures of Serena Williams inspire me to sing the 1994 , "Pumps and Bump" by MC Hammer. Don't feel bad if you don't remember the song. There is probably a reason for that.



Miss Serena was in New Dehli, India yesterday to help launch the new HP Pavillion notebooks. Snaps to the kid!

Emmitt Smith is Just For Men

Ok, so the title may sound a bit misleading. Although I DO love my gay menz, for the purpose of this post, it ain't that kind of party.

I'm sure many of you have seen Emmitt Smith starring in the newest Just for Men hair color commercial. I haven't been on top of my TV game too much recently, so I think that is why I'm a little behind the curve on this one.

Smith joins a long line of well known Just for Men sports veterans including Keith
Hernandez, former MLB star and Mets analyst for SportsNet, New York and Walt Frazier, former NBA hero and Madison Square Garden's lead Knicks analyst to produce this commercial.

Check out video of the commercial below!

WWE Diva Maria poses for Playboy

Hey pervs! Make sure to check your mailbox. WWE diva, Maria Kanellis is showing her nudies in April's issue of Playboy. Here she is at a signing.

Although I haven't seen the "spread", at least now we know that there is no woody-wood pecker in house, if you know what I'm saying *wink.*

Lil Romeo's recruitment - more hype than skill?

I posted a while back that Lil Romeo (who now goes by Romeo Miller) had signed a letter of intent to play basketball for USC Trojans this fall.

However, the Wall Street Journal is reporting that Romeo's recruitment may be due to factors other than his athletic ability. This season, Romeo only averaged 8.6 points a game for Beverly Hills High School, a team that finished in last place in their division.

The WSJ article also implied that it was Romeo's close relationship with highly recruited prospect, Demar DeRozan that may have factored into Romeo's scholarship. Demar and Romeo have played basketball on a club team coached by Romeo's father, Master P since the boys were in eighth grade.

Additionally, perhaps is a PR/revenue generating tactic in the recruitment. USC basketball coach Tim Floyd told the paper, "We may have more 11- to 17-year-old girls in the stands than we've had in the past."

Who knows, but I wouldn't be TOO surprised if Romeo got some quality pine time on the bench. I guess only time will tell.

Check out video below of Demar and Romeo below:
