Metta World Peace did not live up to his name last night. In a move reminiscent of the old Ron Artest, the Lakers forward was celebrating after a dunk on Sunday night when he inexplicably threw a BRUTAL elbow into the back of the head of Oklahoma City’s James Harden, giving him a concussion. Watch the baffling and frightening flagrant foul below: Metta World Peace Elbows James Harden The volatile forward, who was playing some of his best basketball in April, was ejected and faces a certain suspension. The only question is how severe. After the game, Metta World Peace, who had gone out of his way to rid himself of a nasty reputation in the past few years, apologized to James Harden. “I got real emotional and excited, and it was unfortunate that James had to get hit with the unintentional elbow,” said World Peace. “I hope he’s OK.” “Oklahoma City, they’re playing for a championship this year. I profusely apologize to the Thunder and James Harden. It was just unfortunate.” ABC analyst Magic Johnson called it “a cheap shot” but Peace said it was not, despite being whistled for a flagrant foul afterward. Do you agree?

With his motivation unclear, yet his message direct, Justin Bieber took to Twitter over the weekend and taunted the young woman who accused him of fathering her baby last year. During his self-proclaimed #RANDOMTWITTERHOUR, Bieber aimed some pent-up wrath at Mariah Yeater and wrote: “Dear Mariah Yeeter…we have never met…so from the heart i just wanted to say…” – and here he linked to the following Borat clip – “You will never get this. You will never get this. La la la la la.” Borat Clip: “You Will Never Get This” In late 2011, Yeater spoke to the tabloids and claimed she had sex with Bieber backstage after a concert in Los Angeles. She then sued him for paternity of her three-month old son. But Bieber’s lawyers fought back, the suit was eventually dropped and little has been said about Yeater since December, when an ex-boyfriend came out and said he was the father of her child. Why did Justin choose this moment to revisit the past? Who knows. But the overall message is all that matters: You such, Mariah Yeater! Leave JB alone!
Justin Bieber has hired an attorney and will file a lawsuit against Mariah Yeater, sources tell TMZ. The pop star is reportedly teaming with Howard Weitzman, a big-time lawyer in Hollywood, and plans to take a paternity test when he returns from Europe in the near future. Weitzman has already contacted Yeater’s legal team and informed it of his client’s intentions. While Yeater’s assertion that Bieber is the father of her three-month old son was always questionable, new evidence – that Yeater previously accused another man of knocking her up, and was subsequently arrested for slapping that other guy multiple times – calls the claim into more doubt than ever before. Do you think Bieber if Mariah’s baby daddy?
