Looks like more drama for Basketball Wives. Charlie Bell was arrested on October 21st for drunk driving in his hometown of Flint, MI. His court date was yesterday and he showed up to court…DRUNK! He blew a .09 at court. Bell was held in a holding cell until he got sober and had to return to court this morning. You must remember that he’s married to crazy a$$ Kenya Bell who tried to slice him with a box cutter in May. Still, she’s kind of hot so it’s all excusable. She’s also a former Miss Michigan and on the new season of Basketball Wives. Let’s take a look!
NFL star Rolando McClain was charged with four crimes Thursday following a dustup in his hometown, but it’s a photo of him being taken into custody that is truly noteworthy. Visiting his hometown of Decatur, Ala., the Oakland Raiders linebacker got popped after police say he held a gun to another man’s head then fired it beside his ear. Looks like somebody had a good laugh about it at least … Police said the victim suffered injuries to his head and face during a fight with another man (who was also arrested) and that he begged McClain not to shoot him. The former Alabama star obliged and fired it inches from his head instead. McClain was charged with third-degree assault, menacing, reckless endangerment, and discharging a firearm within city limits … while in town for his grandpa’s funeral. All things that make a man smile ear-to-ear apparently.

Sex, crime and drugs were the primary ingredients to a perfect Blaxploitation film. If you were lucky, having Pam Grier play your groovy bombshell would get you the blockbuster film of the year. Grier’s roles may have always appeared to be the same (crime-fighting sex machine), but each plot was different. TAKE TV ONE’S POLL: What’s your favorite Pam Grier film? Coffy, 1973 Your 11-year-old sister is hospitalized with brain damage thanks to tainted “stuff,” and your close friend is beaten unconscious because he’s a cop that plays by the rules. Saddened and fed up, you take matters into your own hands by tricking drug dealers into bed and killing them one-by-one. Foxy Brown , 1974 After your government agent-boyfriend is murdered, you get a call-girl position with a Model agency that may have links to your lover’s death. Using your enchanting wit, you manage to have all of the kingpins caught with their paints down, sometimes literally. Sheba Baby, 1975 You drop everything and return to your hometown of Louisville, Kentucky to save your father’s loan company from street bullies. When people find out what daddy’s little girl is up to, your life is suddenly in danger.
What’s daring about The Myth of the American Sleepover , a modest, untroubled elegy for the passages of middle-American youth, is as straightforward as it is uncommon. Working within a well-worn format — the hometown coming-of-age drama — the effect of feature-debut writer and director David Robert Mitchell’s intensely personal attention to tone and the flow of emotional currents is one of negative exposure, a setting of the genre into a stark and original relief. Conspicuous among his choices was to set and shoot the film in his native suburban Michigan and give it a largely local, unknown cast, several with twanging accents intact. The girls are built as girls that age tend to be — with variety, but tending toward awkwardness — and the boys are as small and reedy as we rarely remember them to be. In other words, it looks more like your teenage world than such films generally allow, and it’s not pretty. It’s beautiful.
