As a dig at Kris Humphries, Kim Kardashian appears in a new Kanye West music video just as her current boyfriend is slamming her estranged husband. Following events today in court, however, the reality star may need to come up with more overt ways to bash the heck out of this professional baller. Attorneys for both sides of this failed marriage – Laura Wasser for Kim and Marshall Waller for Kris – appeared before Judge Stephen Moloney in L.A. Superior Court. The goal? To essentially figure out why the heck a 72-day marriage with a prenuptial agreement is taking so long to legally destroy. The answer, according to Waller, is that he simply needs time to collect the evidence that will supposedly prove Kardashian defrauded his client into marriage. And Kardashian’s lawyer isn’t really helping him gather what he needs to. “I don’t want to use the word uncooperative, but they are not making the process easier,” Waller told the judge, adding that he plans to depose 33 witnesses and has so far been unsuccessful in obtaining Kris Jenner’s business records. He said it could take four more months to collect all the discovery he desires. Wasser, meanwhile, has no clue what to make of all this. She says Humphries actually sent a process server with a Nordstrom box to Kardashian’s home. Inside was a deposition request for West. “To say I am frustrated is an understatement,” said Wasser, who has claimed in the past that Humphries is simply dragging out this battle for PR purposes and plans on making him pay the $250,000-plus in legal fees that Kim has accrues so far. She had a simple question for the judge today: “To what end does he want this annulment?” It’s unclear, and it may remain that way for a very long time: Judge Moloney set the next court date at November 28 for a status conference..
Megadeth frontman Dave Mustaine says President Barack Obama somehow “staged” the recent Colorado shooting as part of a conspiracy to ban guns. Seriously. In comments that may put even Ted Nugent to shame, Dave suggested that Obama was behind the massacre perpetrated by James Holmes … and a lot more. At a Tuesday, August 7 performance in Singapore, Mustaine told the crowd, “Back in my country, my president … he’s trying to pass a gun ban.” “So he’s staging all of these murders, like the ‘Fast And Furious’ thing down at the border … Aurora, Colorado, all the people that were killed there … and the beautiful people at the [Wisconsin Sikh temple].” The rocker continued, “I don’t know where I’m gonna live if America keeps going the way it’s going because it looks like it’s turning into Nazi America.” One major hole in Mustaine’s “theory” (besides basic facts): Obama has not made any push for gun control in the wake of these tragedies. In any case, Mustaine is not a big Obama fan. He endorsed Rick Santorum for the GOP nomination this spring, and has been part of the “birther” crusade. In an interview with Alex Jones (below), Dave wondered why no one has tried to impeach Obama, “With all of the proof about his birth certificate being fake.” “And you see the signs in Kenya that say ‘the birthplace of Barack Obama.’ Hello?! C’mon, guys. How stupid are we right now?” A very good question, Dave. One that’s left us speechless.
Melky Cabrera, the 2012 All-Star Game MVP and one of the best players in baseball this season, has failed a test for performance enhancing drugs and been suspended 50 games by Major League Baseball. The San Francisco Giants outfielder registered high levels of testosterone – and didn’t deny the reason behind it. “My positive test was the result of my use of a substance I should not have used,” Cabrera said in a statement released by the players’ union. “I accept my suspension under the Joint Drug Program and I will try to move on with my life. I am deeply sorry for my mistake and I apologize to my teammates, to the San Francisco Giants organization and to the fans for letting them down.” In his first season as a Giant, Cabrera is batting .346 with 11 home runs and 60 RBI. He will miss the remaining 45 games of the regular season and the first five of the postseason, if San Francisco qualifies. Otherwise, he will sit to start the 2013 season. “We were extremely disappointed,” the team said. “We fully support Major League Baseball’s policy and its efforts to eliminate performance enhancing drugs from our game.”
What does this guy actually do?! He’s like Tommy from “Martin” Raffles Van Exel Denies Selling Drugs And Selling Whitney Houstons Coffin Picture According to TMZ reports : One of Whitney Houston’s close friends — a mysterious man who’s been widely accused of supplying the singer with coke before her death — is declaring war on media outlets that ran with the drug story … and now, he’s on a crusade to clear his name. The friend — an enigmatic celebrity sidekick named Raffles van Exel — tells us, he is “neither the architect nor the culprit of the sudden demise of Whitney Houston.” Raffles was with Whitney in the hours before she died at the Beverly Hilton hotel in February — and there were widespread reports strongly insinuating he was the singer’s secret cocaine supplier. There were other reports suggesting Van Exel was also the one who snapped the infamous picture of Whitney’s body in a coffin … and sold it to a tabloid newspaper. But for the first time ever, Van Exel is adamantly denying all the reports — and has begun taking aggressive legal steps to save his reputation. Van Exel has started firing off cease and desist letters to media outlets reporting any nefarious connection between him and Whitney’s death — demanding full retractions asap … or else. Van Exel — who describes himself as a “private consultant to the stars” — has also been linked to Michael Jackson around the time of the singer’s 2005 molestation trial, as well as jazz legend George Benson. Somehow we find it VERY hard to believe this Raffles character. Who the hell names their kid “Raffles” anyway?? Did his daddy win the chance to chop his momma down at a carnival???

Maybe they should change their names to the Oklahoma City Janitors… The Oklahoma City Thunder Beat The Los Angeles Lakers 77-75 In Game 2 Of Western Conference Semi-Final Even down late, the Oklahoma City Thunder are showing that they are never out. Kevin Durant scored 22 points and rattled in the go-ahead basket on a baseline runner with 18 seconds left, and the Thunder scored the final nine points to rally for a 77-75 victory over the Los Angeles Lakers in Game 2 of the Western Conference semifinals Wednesday night. Oklahoma City trailed by seven with 2 minutes left before surging back with a series of defensive stops by its stars to claw back from that deficit in the closing stages of a game for the second time this postseason. The Thunder were also seven down with 2 1/2 minutes left in Game 1 against defending NBA champion Dallas in the first round. “They won’t quit. That’s not in their DNA,” coach Scott Brooks said. “They’re not wired that way and if they were, they wouldn’t be here. We’re not going to win every game but we’re going to fight to the last second of the game and we did that tonight.” “If we would have gotten down on ourselves with 2 minutes to go, we would have lost by 12 and we would go to L.A. 1-1.” Instead, Oklahoma City takes a 2-0 lead into Game 3 on Friday night at Staples Center. Laker coach Mike Brown spoke on the Lakers sadness and despair. “It’s not good. I don’t think anybody’s happy in there (in the locker room),” coach Mike Brown said. ”We felt like we let one slip away.” Bryant was right at the heart of the meltdown, missing two shots and having a hand in two turnovers in the final 2 minutes. The first turnover came when Durant used his nearly 7-foot frame and impressive wingspan to come up with an energizing steal and fast-break chance. “He used his length on Kobe. Coming up with that steal was huge,”Brown said. “That’s what great players are supposed to do. They’re supposed to take on the challenge at the end of the game and he did. “He won the game for them, basically.” Do you think the Lakers have ANY chance at beating these young boys in OKC??

Despite poor shooting nights from stars Kobe Bryant (six-of-24 shooting, 23 points) and Pau Gasol (six of 16, 19 points), L.A. beats Boston, 83-79. Release the balloons. Ah, better make that purple and gold confetti.
All content is the property of the NBA and its respective entities. Lakers defense shines in Finals-opening win over Celtics. The talk coming into the game circled around how the Celtics defense may rival that of the 2008 championship team. On Thursday, the Lakers showed their rendition of defense. They took charges. They caused deflections. They altered and rejected shots inside. In short, they frustrated Boston. That defense coupled with a late third quarter spurt helped the defending champs deliver an emphatic blow to the Celtics, winning 102-89 in Game 1 of the NBA Finals at Staples Center. “I think people forget how good we are defensively,” Lakers forward Lamar Odom said. No one is forgetting how dominating Phil Jackson’s teams are after winning Game 1 in a series. His haven’t lost, a perfect 47-0. And a reminder of the goal was apparent in the Lakers’ locker room after the game. Scribbled in black on a white board directly across Kobe Bryant’s locker was the phrase “3 Mo.” “We’re counting down,” said Odom, whose team is now 9-0 at home in the postseason with Game 2 on Sunday. Leading the way for the Lakers in the series opener was Bryant, who had a game-high 30 points, seven rebounds and six assists. He has now scored 30-plus in 10 of his last 11 contests. Pau Gasol had a terrific all-around game with 23 points, 14 rebounds and three blocks. Ron Artest chipped in 15. The dominating fashion in which the Lakers, who led by as many as 20 points, took the series opener …
