The 30-year-old Houston Rockets centre, who became the NBA#39;s first superstar player from Asia, started his NBA career as the top draft pick in 2002. His selection was met with scepticism about whether the signature product of China#39;s massive state sports system would ever earn the affection of the league#39;s fans. Basketball star Yao Ming announced his retirement on Wednesday after a trail-blazing career that made him China#39;s best-known athlete abroad and helped spur the game#39;s gl

Chris Brown’s neighbors are still not happy with him. As we previously reported , Breezy recently splurged on some new digs in West Hollywood, spending $1.75 million for a 3 bedroom, 3.5 bathroom condo, but his neighbors have been complaining that he’s turned it into a party house. According to TMZ , Chris’ neighbors are accusing him of being utterly disrespectful, blasting loud music and partying day and night and even racing dogs down the hallways at all hours. And that’s not all. Police showed up this week, after someone vandalized the elevator by carving “C.B.” on the elevator door. “Chris Brown is a problematic tenant, to say the least,” the source says. “He has his posse traipsing around until the late hours of the night, he’s loud and totally disrespectful of his neighbors. He’s driving the other tenants in the building crazy. The vast majority of the residents are professionals and they work during the day, so it’s important to them to get some rest at night and that’s proving difficult with the noise that’s being generated.” “The building isn’t meant to be some kind of party house, the residents don’t want that and they don’t want to live in that kind of environment.” “The tenants are complaining about him and the noise he’s generating, they’ve even had to give him at least one warning. He needs to keep the volume down – people are sick of his behavior.” Chris Brown Is Driving His Neighbors Crazy Fox News Goes In On Chris Brown [VIDEO] Chris Brown Kills Birthday Bash 16!

MTV News correspondent tries to coax Em to freestyle on first broadcast of ‘Sway in the Morning.’ By Rob Markman MTV News’ Sway Calloway hosts the first day of his new radio show “Sway in the Morning” Photo: Michael Loccisano/ Getty Images Sway ‘s a.m. takeover has begun. On Monday (July 18), the MTV News correspondent broadcast his first episode of “Sway in the Morning” on Sirius XM’s Shade 45 , and in addition to playing hip-hop’s hottest tunes, he conducted interviews with Bun B, Lupe Fiasco, Diggy Simmons, Estelle and “Entourage” actor Jerry Ferrara; even Eminem called in to toast the new host. “You played such a vital part in my career and such a big role in hip-hop, we’re just happy to have you,” Eminem, who owns Shade 45, said to Sway. But when Calloway asked for a freestyle, Em joked, “It might be dial tone.” Sway also unearthed an old interview that he conducted with Em, dating back to when the rapper first signed with Dr. Dre. ‘When Em got signed, he came to our house in L.A., and he was just like, ‘Man, I got this opportunity with Dre,’ ” Sway recalled of his and King Tech’s earlier interactions with Em on their legendary on-air “Wake Up Show” in the late 1990s. “Then we had him come up on the radio show to make that announcement and he busted a freestyle, so we played that segment.” That wasn’t all for the debut broadcast: Sway, who co-hosted with Houston on-air personality Devi Dev, played a portion of a never-before-aired interview with the late Tupac Shakur from the set of his “How Do U Want It” video. In the clip, ‘Pac expresses his love for Oakland and downplays the East Coast/ West Coast rivalry of the mid-1990s. “I felt like whatever I am, the Bay Area had something to do with making. So if I’m bad, they had something to do with making me. If I’m good, then they had something to do with making me,” ‘Pac says before showing love to the various cities where he spent his formative years. “Between the East Coast, the Bay Area, L.A. and Baltimore, those places made me.” “All in all, it was good,” Sway told us after the show wrapped on Monday. “We played a lot of hip-hop music and made a good relationship [with the listeners]. I’m going to try to tie in all of these worlds: MTV, Shade 45, pop, politics, culture, music, all of that. At the end of the day, that’s the vision for the show.” Related Artists Eminem

Just when you thought you’d seen everything. Ronnie Ortiz-Magro and Sammi “Sweetheart” Giancola from Jersey Shore celebrated their final few days in Italy with a night out at 21 club last weekend. However, rather than end their trip with one last blowout, the group left after a few hours and headed home, arriving back at their pad happy as clams. With another pay raise secured for season five, RonSam and their cohorts have a lot to smile about. But still, when’s the last time you saw pics like this?! Approximately five minutes after these jovial photos were taken, death threats were exchanged and the cops were called. Just kidding … well, probably . [Photos: WENN.com]
