LOSER!!: Chad Ochocinco Banned From Twitter For 3 Weeks After Losing Mystery Bet With Unknown Person

We never thought we’d see the day that Chad’s attention whoring would cease… If you have been wondering where Chad Ochocinco has been on twitter, fear not, Tedy Bruschi didn’t run him off the social network. There is an even more entertaining reason Ocho has been MIA. Check this out. Patriots wide receiver Chad Ochocinco hasn’t tweeted since September 24. Lest you think this is normal, well, it’s not — Ocho used to fire out 40-plus tweets a day, and for him to go 12 days without any noise on Twitter whatsoever is disturbing. As it turns out, Ocho isn’t being forced off Twitter, per se, he just lost a bet, which probably involves his not-so-stellar play this season. “Ochocinco hasn’t tweeted because he lost a bet,” Ian Rapoport of the Boston Herald tweeted on Wednesday. “Twitter ban/lost bet last three weeks. Won’t tell me the wager.” We checked with “Rap Sheet” on Twitter, and Ocho won’t reveal who the bet is with either. Or guess, because you care, goes something like this: there’s was a bet between either Bill Belichick or Tom Brady and Ocho relating to number of catches against the Bills. This makes sense for a couple of reasons. The Bills and Patriots played on September 25, one day after Ocho’s last tweet. And Ocho had the most number of targets (four) that he’s had all season, meaning you could jump to the conclusion, if you’re inclined, that someone was trying to give him a fair shake of getting his hands on some balls. Pause. What do you think the bet was that is keeping Chad off of Twitter?? The ban ends this coming Monday. We’re sure ol’ Ochocinco will be back in full force. Source

Attention Whore Late Pass: Ex Child Of Destiny LaTavia Says Mean Daddy Matty Made Kelly Rowland Cry

Does this heifer know it’s 2011? The British media is digging for dirt falling in love with Kelly Rowland now that she’s a UK TV star. And somehow, the Mirror dug up LaTavia Roberson who was more than happy to reminisce about how rough the Destiny’s Child days and how wonderful Kelly turned out despite it all. First she told them that Daddy Matty was a tyrant. The tears fell hard when manager Matthew ­Knowles, father of bandmate Beyonce, tore into her after a Destiny’s Child show where she had faltered during a dance routine he had drilled into “his” girls. “Where were you tonight, Kelly?” he bawled at her after a gig in Atlanta in 1997. “I watched you mess up 12 dance steps.” LaTavia Roberson, Kelly’s childhood friend and a founder member of the all-girl ­supergroup, recalls: “Matthew did not mince his words and it can be tough to take that kind of criticism when you are a little girl. We would try not to let it break us. “But Kelly was the sensitive one, and sometimes she would go to her room and cry.” Latavia says he acted like an army drill sergeant, making them sing as they jogged in the park and rehearse dance routines in the ­family living room for hours on end. They even held joint prayer sessions to ask God to help them get the record deal they craved so much. It was like the famously regimented childhood of the Jackson Five. “We used to call him Joe Jackson,” says Latavia. “It’s not like he beat us with his belt or anything, but he was very strict. Beyonce was the only one brave enough to stand up to him.” “We worked really hard. It was ­rehearse, rehearse, ­rehearse. It would be the four of us and he was like a drill sergeant. When summertime came he would start a camp at his house in Houston. “He would make us wake up early in the ­morning and take us to Herman Park. There was a three-and-a-half mile track and we would sing while we jogged around it. Then we would go to the house and ­rehearse. “That’s what our days consisted of, seven days a week. Looking back, working that hard did cost us our childhood. But at the time we were just focused on living out our dreams.”

For Discussion: Does President Obama Owe George Bush And His Administration An Apology??

Former Vice-President Dick Cheney and his daughter Liz seem to think so… Former Vice President Dick Cheney praised the Obama administration Sunday for using a drone strike to kill American-born Muslim cleric Anwar al-Awlaki, but said President Barack Obama should now reverse past criticism of former President George W. Bush’s actions against suspected terrorists. Al-Awlaki — an American whose fluency in English and technology made him one of the top terrorist recruiters in the world — was killed Friday in Yemen, according to U.S. and Yemeni government officials. The strike also killed Samir Khan, an American of Pakistani origin, and two others who were in the same vehicle as al-Awlaki, said the U.S. official, who was briefed by the CIA. Khan specialized in computer programming for al Qaeda and authored the terror network’s online magazine, Inspire. “I think it was a very good strike. I think it was justified,” Cheney told CNN’s Candy Crowley on “State of the Union.” But “I’m waiting for the administration to go back and correct something they said two years ago when they criticized us for ‘overreacting’ to the events of 9/11.” To further his argument Chaney and his daughter Liz go on to say: The Obama administration has “clearly … moved in the direction of taking robust action when they feel it is justified,” Cheney said. Cheney’s daughter, Liz Cheney, went a step further, saying Obama “in effect said that we had walked away from (America’s) ideals.” “I think he did tremendous damage,” Liz Cheney said. “I think he slandered the nation and I think he owes an apology to the American people.” What say you? Has Barack Obama proved to be a hypocrite? Source

Did Dwayne Wade Go HAM On NBA Commissioner David Stern During NBA Player Negotiations Yesterday?!

DWade is normally smiling, happy, and congenial, what the HELL happened?!? Not even the presence of Dwyane Wade, LeBron James and Carmelo Anthony could move the sides closer to an NBA labor agreement yesterday. And it may have moved them further apart in the cordiality department. Wade shouted at commissioner David Stern during the lowlight of a tempestuous five-hour negotiation that nearly ended the proceedings prematurely. The talks produced no deal and could have created ill feelings stemming from the Wade incident. Stern holds grudges. Players Association executive director Billy Hunter Jr. said he does not expect an agreement by this weekend. A person debriefed on the meeting confirmed Wade got ticked off when Stern, during his spiel, started pointing his finger at Wade. “Don’t point your finger at me,” the Heat superstar screamed at Stern. “I’m not a child.” ESPN reported Wade, James and Anthony threatened to leave the talks early before Hunter talked them into staying another hour. “There are times when it’s contentious,” union president Derek Fisher said, without referring to a specific incident. “Guys are very passionate about their opinions. There are also times you really talk and show the type of professional respect. When you have as much at stake as we all do, you have to expect some ups and downs within the meetings.” Seems to us like there are way more “downs” than “ups”. According to reports the two sides are nowhere near reaching an agreement and if there are hard feelings and yelling then it doesn’t appear that anything productive can be accomplished. Joining Wade, James and Anthony were superstars Chris Paul, Kevin Durant, Paul Pierce and Ray Allen, and they all were vocal. The owners had 10 of the 12 members of their negotiating com mittee, including Knicks owner James Dolan, on hand plus Miami owner Mickey Arison. “It helps the process to have [owners] hear di rectly from their franchise players who mean most to our game,” Fisher said. “We encourage our guys to speak and express their thoughts and ask questions. That’s what they do when they come in the room.” Fisher held a press conference flanked by about 15 of the players, but only he spoke. The players looked less than happy to be there. Anthony will miss today’s powwow as he heads to Winston Salem, N.C., to play in a charity game with Paul. Several players are expected, but it is unknown if Wade will return. We just need these guys (owners AND players!) to get their lives together and reach an agreement so we can have basketball this winter! Source

Lesbian Parents Allow Their 11-Year-Old Son Thomas To Live Life As A Girl Named “Tammy” And Take Hormones To Prevent Him From Getting “Broad Shoulders And A Deep Voice”

Too early for this guy to “choose” what gender he will be?? The lesbian parents of an 11-year-old boy who is undergoing the process of becoming a girl last night defended the decision, claiming it was better for a child to have a sex change when young. Thomas Lobel, who now calls himself Tammy, is undergoing controversial hormone blocking treatment in Berkeley, California to stop him going through puberty as a boy. But Pauline Moreno and Debra Lobel warn that children with gender identity disorder forced to postpone transitioning could face a higher risk of suicide. The mothers say that one of the first things Thomas told them when he learned sign language aged three – because of a speech impediment – was, ‘I am a girl’. At age seven, after threatening genital mutilation on himself, psychiatrists diagnosed Thomas with gender identity disorder. By the age of eight, he began transitioning. This summer, he started taking hormone-blocking drugs, which will stop him from experiencing puberty. The hormone-suppressant, implanted in his upper left arm, will postpone the 11-year-old developing broad shoulders, deep voice and facial hair. The couple faced intense criticism from friends and family as a result, Ms Moreno told MailOnline. ‘Everybody was angry with us. “How could you be doing this? You might be ruining his whole life!” Citing a statistic from the Youth Suicide Prevention Program, Ms Moreno noted over 50 per cent of transgender youth will have had at least one suicide attempt by their 20th birthday. It was odd to us,’ she said. ‘Even though she has lesbians as parents, this is all new to us in every possible way. We know what it’s like to feel different – we’ve got that one. But to feel like you’re not in the right body was just something we could not put our heads around.’ Fortunately, the family has a vast support system. The couple credits Tammy’s teachers and officials at Children’s Learning Center in Alameda, California, and their religious community, for being open-minded about their son’s decision. ‘We live in the Bay area where lots of alternative lifestyles are in place… and we belong to a religious community that was incredibly supportive. They make it a point when we’re in synagogue to come over and tell Tammy, “Oh, you look so pretty today,’ Ms Moreno said, adding, ‘There’s never going to be enough gratitude for them.’ His parents say the hormone treatment will give him time to figure out if he wants to fully transition to being female or go through puberty as a boy. Thoughts on this one? Source

What The Eff?!? 64 Year-Old Hiker Inspired By The Film ’127 Hours’ Gets Trapped In Same Canyon For FOUR DAYS!!

Did this guy have to cut his arm off with a pocket-knife too?? Hit the jump and find out! A 64-year-old hiker named Amos Wayne Richards survived 96 hours (that’s four days, people!) trapped in Utah’s Canyonlands National Park with a broken leg and dislocated shoulder. What was he doing out there in the first place? Why, he was inspired by the film 127 Hours starring James Franco! So how did this all happen? It seems like the North Carolina native took the film—based on Aron Ralston’s real-life journey—a little too much to heart and decided to go on the same hiking trip earlier this month through Little Blue John Canyon that Ralston embarked on, according to published reports. Things didn’t go exactly as planned. The 127 Hours super-fan took a ten-foot fall, which broke his leg and dislocated his shoulder. Ironically enough, Richards found himself trapped not far from where Ralston had to cut off his arm with a pocketknife. “It took me about three or four minutes to work my shoulder and get it back in place,” Richards told WBTV in Charlotte. “Once I got it back in place, I stood up and realized my ankle hurt a little bit.” Thankfully, park rangers realized something was wrong when the hiker failed to return to his campsite and searched for Richards. Two days later, they found his car near the Little Blue John trailhead. Once rescued, Richards, who had been slowly dragging himself back the way he had come, was treated for a shattered leg and dehydration and is now recuperating in North Carolina. Sorry chief, but that movie isn’t exactly inspirational, more of a cautionary tale if anything. It isn’t like people rushed to the beaches after JAWS came out…SMH Source

Chinese Firefighter Arrested After Police Find 6 Women Captured In Underground Sex Slave Rooms

A former firefighter Li Hao, 34, cruised the city to pick up his targets and then kidnap them to inflict regular sexual abuse while starving and depriving them of anything. Two of the six sex slaves that Li allegedly kept in hideous underground were confirmed dead once the police arrived, but four have now been rescued from their suffering. Detectives determined that the two women who died in the basement must have been dead for close to a year, as their bodies rotted in the 20 square meters room. According to Li Hao’s wife, she was never aware of his sexual torture chamber, and was under the impression her husband was going to his part time night job every other day. More at HipHopWired.com…

Suspect Pretend Matrimony-Dom: Gloria Govan Talks About How Much Matt Barnes Loves Her, But…

Thanks to some incredibly gifted, and we’re sure very persistent, publicist, someone thought asking Gloria Govan and Matt Barnes about their love life as parents would be interesting. It wasn’t. But part of it did bring up an interesting question for us… Gloria, how do you and Matt keep things exciting? Do you have date nights? We’re super sappy. We’re into the rose petals and candles and balloons. He leaves me notes everywhere — like in my car, my purse, and places I would never think to look in, like my sunglasses case — and then I just find them throughout the day. They’re really brilliant notes. He’s always encouraging and supportive. He’s so cute. We used to have date night a lot, but now that the boys are older, we stay up later, so it’s hard. We have this really cool balcony that overlooks the water that’s very romantic and chill and we end up there just talking. We catch each other up. We get up and we’re like, wow, it’s 1 o’clock in the morning. We try to chill. We used to go on walks all the time, but with my schedule and his schedule it’s hard. Plus, I’m trying to do “Dancing with the Stars” next season so it’s just going to get even worse. I’m excited. I love to dance… I love to cut a rug. It’s fun just to let it loose. Okay, beyond the mystery that is what qualifies someone as a “star” as far as “Dancing With The Stars” is concerned, that answer left us so confused. If Matt is writing sweet notes and doing all types of thoughtful, romantic-y things all the time, and y’all are oh so in love WHY ARE YOU STILL NOT MARRIED??? Source

Leave it Alone: Movies That Should Never Have Sequels (or Prequels)

Often Hollywood cannot leave well enough alone. If a film makes decent bank at the box office, plans for a sequel or prequel soon follow. Most of the time, it’s not a good look. If the original film was great, the second edition rarely measures up. There are notable exceptions to this rule. The Toy Story franchise never seems to disappoint. Another Batman movie? Yes, please. Conversely, if a blockbuster was a stinker, best believe they will torture us with another. I mean, did we really need 5 Final Destination movies? The Bridget Jones Diary was fun the first time. The second time? Not so much. Thankfully, Hollywood has let some successful films stay untouched. Here’s a list of some movies that should never make a sequel/prequel… Continue
