Bring Back Our Ballers: Trump Asked Chinese Prez Xi Jinping To Help LiAngelo Ball And Sticky-Fingered Teammates

Image via Thomas Peter/Pool/Getty Trump Asks Xi Jinping For Help With LiAngelo Ball And UCLA Teammates We can’t really say definitively that this is a good thing, but we’ll see how it plays out. According to the Washington Post , Donald Trump personally asked Chinese president Xi Jinping to help LiAngelo Ball and his 2 UCLA teammates with their shoplifting case. As we reported, Ball, Cody Riley and Jalen Hill have all been remanded to house arrest until the legal proceedings in their case have concluded…which could take MONTHS . After Trump raised the matter, Xi promised to look into the case and ensure that the players are treated fairly and expeditiously, said a U.S. official who spoke on the condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the situation. Chief of Staff John F. Kelly has been in touch with the families of the players and has spoken with UCLA coach Steve Alford, and Kelly remains in contact with Chinese authorities, the official added. This official indicated that charges against the players have been reduced and that the case is proceeding toward a resolution. This SOUNDS good in theory, but Trump could f**k up the whole thing with one headazz tweet insulting the Chinese people. He’s just not the guy we feel comfortable relying on for assistance in situations like this. Moreover, let’s say Trump is able to help the boys come home soon, does that mean the Ball family has to kiss his cantaloupe-colored azz for the foreseeable future? Will Lavar start wearing #MAGA hats?? Are y’all still gonna cheer for Big Baller Brand’s success if he does??? We’ll answer all these questions and more on the next episode…

Ben Flajnik, Courtney Robertson Tweet Wedding Hints

Ben Flajnik and Courtney Robertson haven’t been heard from for awhile, which is probably a good thing, considering the negative press they got earlier this year. Even before The Bachelor star proposed to the brunette model during the show’s March finale, they were inundated with an avalanche of bad publicity. Now that it’s been five months, it appears the embattled couple is going as strong as ever, and may be finally thinking about their nuptials to boot. Via Twitter on Friday, Courtney Robertson and Ben Flajnik shared pics of their visit to Baker Beach in San Francisco, Calif., where the couple resides. Both of them suggested that it’d make a perfect wedding venue. “Should we get married here? 😉 a picture of Courtney and I observing a wedding,” Ben posted with a pic of himself, Courtney and his dog Scotch. Added his model fiancee: “I love this candid photo of my boys playing at Baker Beach this morning! I am in love with this place, first time here.” “I think this would be a fun place for a wedding @BenFlajnik ;)” Almost as soon as Robertson accepted Flajnik’s proposal, the couple said there was no date set and they were taking it slow for the foreseeable future. That seems to have been a good plan for them, if they’re still happy and talking about weddings. What do you think, Bachelor fans? Will it last?

Amber Portwood Cops Plea, Narrowly Avoids Jail in Probation Case

Maligned Teen Mom all-star Amber Portwood has copped a plea in her probation case and will not be sentenced to five years in prison … at least not yet. In jail since before Christmas awaiting trial for felony drug possession case, Ambs cut a deal Friday to avoid spending the foreseeable future behind bars. Portwood pleaded not guilty to one count of possession of a controlled substance – a medication she had no prescription for – and one probation violation. In return, she remains on probation and, if she hopes to remain free, must complete the Madison County (Ind.) Drug Court program. Or else. Her next hearing is scheduled for February 6. Amber Portwood is on probation following her domestic violence case involving baby daddy Gary Shirley. She missed a probation hearing last month, a big no-no. When police showed up at her house to check on her, they found the pills in her bag … and she was unable to produce a prescription. Even bigger no-no. While she’s been in jail and making officials worried that she will shiv someone , Portwood’s now-former landlord had sued to have her evicted. A judge said she is already in the process of moving out, so the lawsuit is not necessary. A separate hearing on that issue is set for March 14. [Photo: Fame Pictures]

Casey Anthony to Undergo Major Mental Health Treatment

No matter what you think of the Casey Anthony verdict , it’s clear this is a wise move. The 25-year-old will seek treatment for serious mental issues. As such, the acquitted murder suspect won’t be sitting down with ABC, NBC, CBS or any other network for an interview in the foreseeable future. Guilty or not, she needs to receive professional help ASAP. Sources say Casey is seeking treatment for three reasons: She realizes her questionable behavior when daughter Caylee Anthony went missing in 2008 stemmed from “obvious mental health issues.” She needs help coping with the “obvious trauma of losing her child.” She spent nearly three years in solitary confinement in a Florida jail. That’s 23 hours a day in a cramped cell, with death row looming if she were convicted of murder. A source close to Casey says “It messed with her head.” When she’s healthy, Anthony will have the final word on where and how her story will be told. Attorney Jose Baez will continue to field offers .
