Black women are really getting a chance to shine on network primetime TV this fall! Check the scoreboard…or your local listings. Representation matters, it’s gratifying…
Chris Wilcox is apparently not a big fan of the “Kiss Cam.” After seeing himself on the scoreboard as part of pro sports’ ubiquitous mid-timeout entertainment traditon, the Boston Celtics reserve big man made his displeasure clear. By flipping off the camera and 18,000 fans watching. Wilcox was serenaded by boos and received an earful from an assistant coach moments after the gesture, which occurred inside Philadelphia’s Wells Fargo Center. Reactions ranged from laugher to abject horror. He was ultimately fined $25,000 “for making an obscene gesture directed toward fans during a game.” Sadly, Wilcox’s bird-flipping took place during a stoppage in play, so TV outlets didn’t catch it, and thus far, no grainy iPhone videos of the scoreboard have emerged.

It was all sizzle, no sausage.” BLAM. As for Kardashian, he wasn’t quite as terrible, but Chaz Bono scored better than he did, as did sister Kim a few seasons back. Not a good sign. See the performances that left both men at the bottom of the scoreboard and likely a little nervous about their status tonight by following the jump: Ron Artest & Peta Murgatroyd – Cha-Cha (DWTS Week 1) Rob Kardashian & Cheryl Burke – Waltz (DWTS Week 1) Who do you think will win Dancing With the Stars?
The sister of Duchess Catherine donned a red frock similar to her much-talked about Wimbledon dress as she watched her love interest play. Unfortunately, Alex#39;s Eton Ramblers ended up on the wrong end of the scoreboard, taking the loss against the Old Malvernians by four wickets. Pippa Middleton paid a visit to The Shenley Cricket Centre in Hertfordshire, England on Sunday. The reason? Boyfriend Alex Loudon was competing! Fortunately, for Alex, he#39;s won over Pippa Middleton … Not let
