Kobe Bryant Curses Out Ref With Homophobic Slur; Gay Rights Group Responds to "Disgrace"

L.A. Lakers superstar Kobe Bryant appeared to use a homophobic slur while cursing out an NBA ref last night, and a gay rights group is justifiably livid. In the third quarter of L.A.’s matchup with the Spurs, Kobe got a technical foul. Clearly upset, he appeared to call Bennie Adams a “F**king f**got.” The Lakers say they can’t confirm what was said, but it looks obvious. An announcer even said, “You might wanna take the cameras off of him” … Kobe Bryant Curses at Ref In the wake of this incident, the Human Rights Campaign called it “a disgrace for Kobe Bryant to use such horribly offensive and distasteful language.” Even worse, the group said in condemning Kobe – “a person with such fame and influence” – was that he did this with millions of people watching: “Such language not only offends millions of LGBT [lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender] people around the world, but also perpetuates a culture of discrimination and hate that all of us, most notably Mr. Bryant, should be working to eradicate.”

Scarlett Johansson: Moving in With Sean Penn?!

Just three months into their surprising romance, is Scarlett Johansson already moving into the Malibu home of actor beau Sean Penn? Us says yes . Relocating from temporary digs at a West Hollywood hotel, the recently separated 26-year-old “has essentially moved in over the last few weeks.” Scarlett and Sean Penn , 50, now share the same roof after months of furtive sightings in Hollywood, Mexico and beyond. Sources say it’s serious … The pair “just stay home” whenever they can, says a source. That means eating in and hanging with Penn’s kids with ex-wife Robin Wright, who aren’t much younger than she: daughter Dylan, 20, and son Hopper, 17. While it was surprising enough that Johansson rebounded from her December split from Ryan Reynolds with Penn, no one expected it to move this fast. That being said, whatever makes the new couple happy. Maybe she needed a more mature guy and a dramatic change in her life? Is that so wrong? [Photos: WENN.com]
