Way to pick ‘em, Draya. A source tells BOSSIP exclusively that the most recent former NBA player to qualify Draya Michele for her position on Basketball Wives: LA is none other than Javaris Crittenton, the same ex-baller currently wanted on suspicion of murder in connection to a drive-by in Atlanta . If his name sounded familiar before that, Javaris is the other dummy half that was involved in Gilbert Arenas’ “Take A Gun To Work” nonsense . According to our source, Draya’s fling with Javaris happened while he was in a relationship with an entertainment PR consultant named Destiny. He eventually left the career driven girl for Draya. Of course, this isn’t the first NBA baller Draya’s been linked to. She’s allegedly also been with Kenyon Martin and was rumored to have slept with a post-Monica Shannon Brown. Wonder who else is on Draya’s list…

So that “Western” movie role Amber Rose has been talking about turns out to be the sequel to “Gang of Roses” — the 2003 Jean-Claude La Marre “classic” that starred Lisa Raye, Stacey Dash, Marie Matiko, Charity Hill, Bobby Brown and Lil Kim. So you know the acting in that one set the bar soooo high for Amby Cakes. Amber tweeted the above photo along with a lil info about the film: At least we know Vivica Fox is no snob. SMH. So it looks like Amby’s “Roses” role is Tara X — a bounty hunter. Sources tell BOSSIP that Amber will have to learn how to ride a horse, shoot various firearms and perform other stunts required by actors in Western films. She’s filming the last two weeks of August, however there is currently no scheduled release date for the project. If you had to choose between watching Amber Rose onscreen and watching Lisa Raye — which one would you pick? What about Amber vs. Stacey Dash? VS. Lil Kim? How about some visuals to help with your decision? Keep clicking for some great shots from the original “Gang of Roses” and don’t forget to comment and let us know Who Owns It!

Remember Monday, when we told you Antonio Gates — the San Diego Chargers player that wifed up alleged escort Sasha Lee — wasn’t so innocent himself? Well after we ran that story, we were contacted by a number of folks about Gates and his situation, including a friend who was well acquainted with the details of his last relationship with Elizabeth Patterson, the woman pictured above on the left. According to our source Elizabeth was once engaged to Antonio and even co-owned a business with him — a designer boutique in San Diego called “Elizabeth’s Closet” that also carried a men’s line handpicked by Antonio himself. “Elizabeth was with Antonio for five years, in fact, a lot of people didn’t even know that he was marrying Sasha because they thought he was still with Elizabeth,” Patterson’s friend told BOSSIP exclusively. “They spent last Christmas together in Tennessee and had been still seeing each other trying to work through their issues.” The friend says Antonio and Elizabeth met his rookie year and started dating. Patterson — who has an interior design degree — even decorated the home they shared in San Diego. During summers Patterson helped Gates care for his two children (by two different women) while he attended football practice and training camps. “Antonio has a checkered past too. Elizabeth really held it down for him, but there was only so much she could deal with. She started to suspect things and they broke off the engagement.” Ironically, Elizabeth’s friend says that she believes Antonio started seeing Sasha before his engagement to Elizabeth ended two years ago. “Elizabeth was living in the house still, in San Diego, and Antonio was making these trips to Los Angeles. Once, she pulled up to the house as Sasha was leaving.” Patterson moved back to New Jersey after the break up, but Antonio continued to try to make amends. The friend says he visited Elizabeth on the east coast during the offseason, while she also made visits to him on the west coast. According to Elizabeth’s pal — Patterson’s phone has been ringing off the hook with calls from her and Antonio’s mutual friends who are checking to see if she’s okay. “She was surprised,” says the friend. “She knew Antonio was seeing other people, and had heard of Sasha by name, but believed she was one of several girls Antonio was dating.” The friend says Elizabeth visited Antonio in Los Angeles six months ago and felt that something was off, but he downplayed the relationship as “not serious.” Then three weeks ago Sasha unexpectedly called Elizabeth.
Yesterday, the great urban poet Waka Flocka Flame made the most sense he has made in his entire career. He went on to explain how the phony n-words in the industry and the hectic-ness of his life drove him to his decision. And his mommy backed him up. Waka’s mom and manager, Debra Antney, tells RumorFix exclusively, “He talking about quitting. He’s sick of this. We all are.” Debra, who is the Kris Jenner of the rap world, tells us, “We’re all disgusted with this stuff. You can’t trust people.” She says Waka isn’t touring or recording right now and that they are reestablishing their relationship as mom and son — as opposed to manager and musician. Far be it for us to try to stand in between Flocka and his happiness. As a matter of fact, we have a couple of suggestions for him on what to try next.
