- When
did the NBA become a Bravo reality series featuring catty divas brawling with
one another at posh southern California mansions? Apparently right around the
time Memphis Grizzlies forward Matt Barnes found out that New York Knicks coach
Derek Fisher was dating Barnes’ ex-wife, Gloria Govan, that’s when. Govan is
one of the stars of the reality show "Basketball Wives LA,” so it’s no
surprise that she’s at the heart of this kind of drama, but it’s a bad look for
the Association when a player on one of its best teams and the head coach of
one of its biggest franchises - albeit one currently entrenched in awfulness - are
in a fistfight so bad that they both end up bloody and only stop when one of
the involved parties’ children is terrified by the fight and pleads with them
to stop. The mayhem began when Barnes, in training camp with the Grizzlies and
in California training for a bit in Santa Barbara, found out that Fisher was at
a party at Barnes’ former home with Barnes’ ex-wife. Fisher had flown to California
to visit his children and his team had the day off, but when he hung out at a
bonfire with Govan, that was the tipping point for Barnes, one of the NBA’s
most combustible players. Barnes reportedly drove more than an hour and a half
to confront his former teammate with whom he played with the Los Angeles Lakers
from 2010 to 2012. The two men were known to be very close during that time,
but a source close to the situation said that when he arrived at the party,
Barnes was confrontational from the start and told Fisher he felt hurt and
disrespected by Fisher’s actions. Both men’s teams and the league has
acknowledged their awareness of the situation are investigating, but for now,
both parties appear to be simmering down……..
- A
stoner’s gotta do what a stoner’s gotta do. Sometimes, what a stoner has to do
is get really, really high and call the police to let them know that he may
have gotten his hands on some really good sh*t and smoked so much of it that
he’s a little too high for his own good. It’s the sort of hardcore,
keeping-the-peace police work that men and women who dream of a career in law
enforcement imagine themselves doing when they grow up. They picture a
dispatcher receiving a phone call from a pothead who complained he'd gotten too
high smoking marijuana and needed their assistance. This unidentified stoner
called police and then went back to his place in a fetal position on the floor,
groaning and surrounded by snacks that included Doritos, Goldfish crackers and
Chips Ahoy cookies. It’s like the worst stoner clichés ever, all rolled into
one. The only way this situation could have been more clichéd is if this guy
was next to a stack of “Planet Earth” DVDs on his left, a stack of “Beavis
& Butthead” DVDs on his right, a knit poncho covered his skinny frame and his
idle hackey sack sat by his feet. Austintown Township police found the man on
the floor and he told officers he couldn't feel his hands. Stunningly, officers
found a glass jar of ganja and drug paraphernalia in the man's car after he
gave them his keys. This Big Lebowski wannabe refused medical treatment and so
far has not been charged with a crime, possibly because he was just too damn
pathetic to charge with anything……..
- What
is it with bitter, aging action stars wanting to cut ties with the franchises
that made them the major Hollywood names they are today? First Kiefer Sutherland
stupidly declares that he wants no part of a possible “24” spin-off series even
though Fox has made it clear the door is open for him and now, freaking Daniel
Craig is hitting the eject button on his involvement with the Bond franchise.
Craig, who will make his fourth appearance as 007
in “Spectre,” is set for
release worldwide next month, is three Bond appearances behind the likes of
Sean Connery and Roger Moore. He clearly has no intention of chasing those men
down despite saying recently that he would keep playing Bond "as long as I'm physically able." Something must
have changed because now, Craig is acting like a spoiled brat and going so far
as to invoke wholly unnecessary suicide jokes in his efforts to convince
everyone that he will never play Bond again. "Now? I'd rather break this
glass and slash my wrists. No, not at the moment. Not at all. That's fine. I’m
over it at the moment. We're done. All I want to do is move on,” Craig said. "For
at least a year or two, I just don't want to think about it. I don't know what
the next step is. I've no idea. Not because I'm trying to be cagey. "Who
the f*ck knows? At the moment, we've done it. I'm not in discussion with
anybody about anything. If I did another Bond movie, it would only be for the
money.” Whoa, whoa, whoa. Put the brakes on that tricked-out Aston Martin. Of
course it would only be for the money. Every Bond movie anyone has ever done is
for the money. Have any of these been some cinematic masterpiece that has
advanced the art form to a higher plain? Bond movies are about making money
using gadgets, explosions and hot women. Stop acting like you’re suddenly
better than that, Dan………
- Man,
there is nothing more infuriating than being in what you think is the privacy
of your own home, chilling in the kitchen and taking a moment to grope your
maid only to have your wife capture the moment on video and post it to
Facebook. An unidentified Saudi Arabian man knows what we’re talking about, but
thankfully, the draconian and socially stunted laws of his nation have his
back. The man’s wife caught him getting handsy with
the maid in their kitchen and rolled tape on the incident using her smartphone.
She then totally sold him out by likely using the WiFi he paid for to post the
video on social media with the caption: “the minimum punishment for this
husband is to scandalize him.” Oh, because that’s suddenly your judgment to
make? The video quickly went viral across multiple social media platforms and
as one might suspect, virtually everyone supported the wife. Many Twitter users
started using the hashtag #Saudiwomancatcheshusbandcheating to express their
support, but Saudi Arabia’s legal system wasn’t so encouraging. The wife, who
has not been publicly identified, could face defamation charges and up to one
year in jail for posting that video of her husband in a compromising position. It’s
reassuring to know that there are at least a few places left in the world where
justice is still practiced……..
