Suspended without pay too. And Matty’s throwin’ shade at the NBA now, calling their decision a joke! According to TMZ : Matt Barnes has been suspended by the NBA for one game… after the L.A. Clippers forward pled “no contest” to interfering with the duties of a police officer. According to the NBA, Barnes will serve out his suspension tomorrow — when the Clippers play their season opener against the Memphis Grizzlies. The punishment stems from an incident back in July — when Barnes was arrested for driving on a suspended license and resisting arrest. As we first reported, Barnes eventually pled no contest to misdemeanor interference with the duties of a police officer … and his suspended license charge was dropped when he proved he had a valid license. He’ll be back on Friday when the Clippers face the Lakers. Do you think Barnes should have been suspended?? Images via
Grandmas can be hoes too Unclothed Grandmother Arrested For Offer Herself To Officers Via NYDailyNews An Indiana grandmother with a record of prostitution was arrested after she allegedly tried pulling her moves on police, while watching her 2-year-old granddaughter, Tuesday night. Indianapolis police officers arrested Jacqueline Burse, 53, around midnight on preliminary charges of neglect of a dependent and resisting law enforcement, local media reported. Responding to a call from the toddler’s other grandmother — who believed that Burse might have been drunk while watching the child — police arrived at the city’s Dollar Inn around 10:30 p.m. When Burse opened the door, she and the toddler were naked. The nude woman cursed at officers and did not respond to their requests that she clothe herself. As if that isn’t bad enough… When police tried to handcuff her, she started offering sexual favors. Burse put her hands on her chest and tried to wrap one of her legs around an officer, according to a police report obtained by the Indianapolis Star. “Do you want some of me?” Burse allegedly asked. Throughout the confrontation she continued cursing and, at one point, started screaming without making any words. Police later got Burse in handcuffs and called Child Protective Services for the toddler. Apparently this woman has been arrested for everything from drugs to slangin’ her box on the block. Jail is definitely the best place for her. Image via RTV6
Awww, poor thang… Tia Mowry Admits That She Cried When She Cut Her Hair Off Via USMagazine Tia Mowry loves her new pixie-cut — but she did shed a few tears at first! “I cried! I’m just going to be honest with you, I definitely cried,” Mowry, 34, told Us Weekly Thursday of her short new ‘do at the Ingenuity Event for the launch of their new product in NYC. “I really wasn’t expecting the shock value. “A lot of people ask me, ‘What advice would you give to women who want to chop it off?’ I said, ‘Don;t think about it because if you do you won’t do it.’ But it’s very liberating and it definitely saves time.” “I am so happy that I decided to cut my hair. It literally takes me three minutes to do my hair,” she said. “I get out of the shower, put some conditioner in it, and it’s just ‘let’s go’ and I love that! I think it’s very very important to find products that allow us to be able to have more time to do things like that.” There are surely worse things that can happen in life than losing a couple inches of hair, quit it with the drama and take care of your child.

Lamborghini Mercy, yo’ bank account is so thirsty… Bow Wow Owes Bank $25,000 For Repossessed Lamborghini According to TMZ reports : It costs roughly $25,000 to repossess and sell a rapper’s Lamborghini — at least according to a Georgia bank, which is now suing Bow Wow for money it spent flipping his ride. SunTrust Bank filed the lawsuit against Bow Wow — real name Shad Moss — claiming he took out a $300,165 business loan, agreeing to 84 monthly payments of $4,730. According to bank records filed with the lawsuit, Bow Wow fell behind last year. The docs show the bank repossessed the rapper’s Lamborghini Murcielago — and managed to get $161,000. You’d think that would be the end of it — but the bank tacked on more than $25,000 for “repossession expenses.” According to the lawsuit, Bow Wow still owes the bank $21,371 — and the bank wants every penny. How does Bow Wow explain his money situation (or lack thereof…)?? Like all broke artist, ballers, and actors…his manager. SMH Sources close to Bow Wow tell us, the rapper attributes all his money issues to his crappy ex-management team. We’re told he has since cleaned house and is now working to fix his financial mess. Maybe that’s what BET stands for, Broke Entertainers Trying…get your isht together Mr. 106 & Park. Image via WENN
You know when your Dad calls you out you’ve got some changes to make! No longer the flavor of the month, Panthers quarterback Cam Newton has mustered only one win in the first full month of the NFL season, with his team at 1-4 at the bye week. According to The Grio : Newton has come under criticism for a variety of things, including his demeanor at post-game press conferences following a loss. Even his father, Cecil, agrees that Cam needs to be a bit less deflated and downtrodden. “Is it something he needs to change?” Cecil Newton told WFNZ’s The Drive with Taylor and Marc. “Well yes I guess so.” “I know he hasn’t been responsive in some of his interviews [after losses] but he has been like that since he was seven years old,” said Cecil Newton, who explained that he did the spot in order to “take some of the heat off” Cam. “It’s difficult, there are some things that I don’t touch and don’t tell him what he should and shouldn’t do.” As to the things that are causing the Panthers to lose so many games, Cecil Newton agrees with coach Ron Rivera’s assessment of Cam. “I think he’s just pressing,” Cecil Newton said. “I think he’s maybe trying to do too much. I know my son, he is going to go back into the lab, tweak some things, work hard, and come out better. He is not in the business of making excuses. He is going to come back better.” Hope Cam knows how lucky he is to have a supportive Dad in his life and cuts the bull! Images via facebook/GQ
Apparently her utilities just got shut off and the poor thang had to move out?!?! Rumors have been swirlin’ since Deion’s been fighting his questionable child support amount but if this isht is true, it’s another grimy azz move on his part…or is it? Sources have said that the former Football Wives star has been forced to move out of her house, because the electricity and gas have been shut off for lack of payment. The model, who is locked in a nasty divorce with former NFL player Deion Sanders, is having a hard time making ends meet, according to her publicist Kali Bowyer. Pilar’s attorneys filed an emergency request to get Deion to continue with his support payments. According to court documents obtained by RumorFix, Deion makes $161,565.25 a month and is worth $250 million. His attorneys are claiming the $10,500 in child support is extreme and six times what everyone else in Texas pays. Plus, they claim paying the utilities is not a child support expense. Do you have any sympathy for Pilar or is it time for her to step it up a little bit so she can make sure her kids lights and heat don’t get turned off??? Images via twitter

This guy really has some damn nerve. And on the night before he’s sentenced for the Penn State scandal, Sandusky thought it was a good idea to share his side one more time. Releasing an overly-dramatic recorded statement from his cell, Sandusky chose to go on the defense and attacked everyone, from his victims, to the media…even the university, for the reason he’s still locked-up after being “falsely accused”. According to TMZ… In his statement, the disgraced ex football coach says, “A young man who was dramatic, a veteran accuser, and always sought attention, started everything.” Sandusky goes on to say the initial accuser “was joined by a well-orchestrated effort of the media, investigators, the system, Penn State, psychologists, civil attorneys and other accusers. They won. I’ve wondered what they really won: Attention, financial gain, prestige… will all be temporary.” Sandusky also rambles about his attorneys not having enough time to prepare for the trial — in which the jury found him guilty of 45 counts of child ____ deviance — and insinuates all his accusers came forward purely for financial gain. And there’s this odd claim … on the recording, Sandusky says his wife “has been his only partner that was after marriage. Our love continues.” Sandusky is scheduled to be sentenced tomorrow morning … and faces up to 400 years in prison. Wow…homeboy’s crazy! We’ll leave the rest of the comments for you to make…SMH Images via facebook/tmz
Out of body or out of your mind? Jason Russell Describes His Mental Breakdown You may remember when Kony 2012 director Jason Russell spazzed the fawk out back in March, well Oprah has reached out the raving lunatic in a another sad attempt to save her struggle-channel OWN to give him chance to tell his story. Via NYDailyNews : Seven months after he became a household name, Jason Russell is hoping to be a viral sensation once again – preferably with his clothes on this time. After shooting to fame with the release of his film “Kony 2012” in March, which racked up 100 million YouTube views in less than a week, Russell eclipsed his own project just 10 days later when a video of his naked meltdown on a San Diego street corner exploded online. Now the controversial filmmaker is back with a new movie about the Ugandan warlord Joseph Kony, and he wants to set the record straight about his former flameout. “It’s hard to explain if people have never had an out of body experience, but it really wasn’t me,” he told Oprah of his meltdown, in an interview for “Oprah’s Next Chapter” that aired on Sunday. “That wasn’t me, that person on the street corner ranting and raving and naked, is not me. That’s not who I am.” He goes on to say: “My mind couldn’t stop thinking about the future. I literally thought I was responsible for the future of humanity,” he told the “Today” show on Monday. “It started to go into a point where my mind finally turned against me and there was a moment where, click, I was not in control of my mind or my body.” “I thought, ‘I have to get to New York in the next 12 hours.’ That’s what I thought,” he told Oprah. “’Because I have to stop the war.’ So I ran out to the front and I think I was trying to ask cars to take me to the airport. In my underwear.” In response to accusations of him being gay and “self-pleasuring” himself during his blackout Russell says: …he said he was simply “theatrical” and denied rumors that he had performed a lewd act during his meltdown. “There were rumors of masturbation, but no one who was there ever said that that was happening,” he told Oprah, according to The Hollywood Reporter. “I’m naked so it’s not a far extension of imagination that that would be happening but, no, I don’t remember any of that, and no one we knew there said that I was. I don’t remember anything except like a half-second. I don’t.” Russell was later diagnosed as having a psychotic breakdown that caused temporary insanity, and says he has been doing yoga and therapy to recover. Bruh, you were running around nekkid. Yoga can’t save you in real life. Besides all that, this whole thing just seems like an attention-sloring publicity stunt to promote these flicks, and Oprah silly azz is going right along with it.

That BET gig can’t save you in real life Bow… Bow Wow Owes $284,000 On His Leased Ferrari From 2010 According to TMZ reports : Gotta say … we were scoffing at Bow Wow this week when he told a child custody judge he was only pulling in $4,000 a month … and then announced just hours later he was becoming the host of 106 & Park … but we just found some documents that show creditors have been chasing him for 3 years over a car. B.W. leased a 2005 Ferrari F430 back in 2008. It didn’t take long for the rapper to fall behind, because in February, 2009, the leasing company sued him and got a judgment for $216,084 … oh, and 75 cents. Since getting the judgment, the leasing company has been on the hunt for payment, using a collection agent to track down Bow Wow. Mr. Wow never paid, and now with interest the judgment has swelled to $283,785 … oh, and 13 cents. Bow Wow told the custody judge he only had $1,500 in his bank account and leases a jeep. Wow, maybe Bow was telling the truth. All we know is, we better not find out that he paid off this Ferrari before he paid his baby mama… Image via WENN
