NBA Hall of Fame member Scottie Pippen has been cleared in the incident this summer in which he got into a fight with an overzealous fan in Malibu. Scottie Pippen Knocks Out Fan The 47-year-old Pippen mixed it up with autograph seeker who authorities say was drunk and exaggerated his injuries including faking seizures. Thus, the L.A. County district attorney’s office said there was insufficient evidence to bring assault charges against Pippen for the altercation. Camran Shafighi approached him at Nobu, a sushi restaurant and celebrity hangout on the beach in Malibu, back on June 24, reports indicate. Pippen obliged to have a photo taken with Shafighi, but the man followed the basketball great to the parking lot badgering him for an autograph as well. Pippen said no, at which point told Shafighi became irate, “grabbing at him, cursing him and then spit in his face,” according to a report by the D.A. Shafighi, 49, claimed Pippen punched him in the mouth and kicked him several times, causing him to lose consciousness with a kick to the face. Pippen admitted spitting at Shafighi and pushing him away, but prosecutors said it was unclear if Pippen was the aggressor or acted in self-defense. Shafighi, who has also filed a $4 million lawsuit against Pippen, was taken to a hospital with a concussion … he claims. That is highly debatable. All tests showed there wasn’t any internal trauma, but Shafighi went to the hospital later and said he had been diagnosed with fractured ribs and ankle. The only visible physical injuries were a small bruise on Shafighi’s chin and a cut to his lip, and then there’s the fact that the guy was WASTED. Shafighi, whose blood sample turned up positive for opiates and a 0.18 percent blood-alcohol level, also feigned having seizures to prove his “case.” The seizures ended when the doctor ordered him to stop them.
Sean Kingston sparked controversy and public safety concerns last night when he got behind the wheel of his Lamborghini after apparently boozing . To make matters worse, not only did he appear drunk, but Kingston pulled out his phone to text someone and tore down the Sunset Strip at breakneck speeds. The 23-year-old hip hop artist was leaving Bootsy Bellows nightclub when he was asked what his favorite lyric is in 2 Chainz album. His response: “I can’t remember man … too much drinks.” Kingston got into the driver’s seat and pulled out his phone, started texting someone, and then slammed on the gas pedal, rocketing down the street. It’s unclear if Sean was just joking about drinking. Clearly that could be the case, but it also wouldn’t be the first time he’s flirted with DUI, either. Back in June, Sean reportedly got out of the driver’s seat of his Bentley in a similar situation after he realized he was too drunk to drive. Close call. And, of course, there was the Sean Kingston jet ski accident that left him critically injured. Booze or no booze, he has a history with driving too fast. Let’s hope he slows down – and stays sober – otherwise the worst case scenario could become very real, and innocent people could pay the price. Seriously. He gives Justin Bieber ‘s crew a run for their money.
Let’s get this out of the way: The Hollywood Gossip does NOT condone drunk driving in any way, shape or form. But if one is going to get behind the wheel after having a few drinks – and as long as one is not hurting any fellow driver or pedestrian in the process – then the least one can do is entertain everyone else by dancing when asked to perform a field sobriety test. Yes, DANCING. That’s what 39-year-old Dale Bentley did this week when pulled over by cops in Ohio. And it was capture on camera: Man Dances During Sobriety Test The next day, when a local news team asked Bentley if he remembered doing this dance, he gave a simple response: “No.” Color us unsurprised.
Soulja Boy’s Bentley was recently impounded by the LAPD thanks to photos that appear to implicate him (or at least the car) in a serious hit-and-run. Back on January 9, a motorcyclist struck a red Bentley in Hollywood, leaving the biker seriously injured. The Bentley’s driver fled the scene, however. It is believed that its driver made a reckless turn that caused the crash. In any case, a friend of the biker went back to the scene to look around. That’s when he met a valet at Roscoe’s House of Chicken and Waffles who said that he knew the car well, and that it belonged to Soulja Boy. The witness then went to the police, who tapped into their secret database of photos taken by thousands of hidden cameras every day (seriously). In fact, TMZ reports there are private companies that exist solely to convince L.A. citizens and businesses to mount cameras for the database. The average L.A. car, supposedly, is photographed 1,000 times. A day. Back to the topic at hand, police easily got the license plate number of Soulja Boy’s Bentley, ran it through the database and the plot thickened. The crash itself was not captured on video, but images of the Bentley showing damage that corresponded to the accident did show up in photos. Soulja Boy’s Bentley is currently damage-free, and police believe the rapper had the car repaired on the DL to cover up any incriminating evidence. Police got a warrant, believing they had probable cause to believe the Bentley was involved in the accident, and have since impounded the car. Police would still like more evidence, but it’s amazing the kinds of things they can pull from cameras you didn’t even know were filming your every move. Cue ominous, dramatic music.
