The Phoenix Suns were so high on Stoudemire’s talent at a young age, they drafted him straight out of high school in 2002. Stoudemire and the Knicks open the 2012-13 NBA season against the Brooklyn Nets on November 1. First a children’s book series and now this. Kudos all around Amare. Images via WENN
Oh, the irony. Just a couple days ago, Joanna Krupa complained that she isn’t getting enough sex from her fiance. Now, The Real Housewives of Miami star stands accused of selling her body for sex! According to TMZ, Krupa’s attorney has sent a letter to Nik Richie of TheDirty.com in response to that site’s accusatory article, the headline for which reads: Joanna Krupa Is a Confirmed Hooker .

L.A. Clippers star Matt Barnes is apologizing for calling the police officer who arrested him a fa**ot and a pu**y, among other things, after their exchange spread virally on video. Matt Barnes Arrest Video Matt Barnes said: “I would like to apologize for the unfortunate language I used. I know that certain words are extremely hurtful. I meant absolutely no disrespect to anyone.” “This comment, spoken in the heat of a difficult moment, does not accurately reflect my actual point of view. I hope that all offended parties can accept my sincerest apologies.” Barnes clearly had an ongoing beef with the cop . The same officer stopped the NBA player twice before and waited nearly 2 hours in a Manhattan Beach, Calif., parking lot last July for Barnes to leave a restaurant. There, he was arrested for driving on a suspended license and resisting arrest. Barnes eventually pleaded no contest to misdemeanor interfering with a cop and driving while not in possession of a license. He got off with a fine and informal probation.
Poor thangs! Vince Young ain’t the only one… Via ESPN : According to a 2009 Sports Illustrated article, 60 percent of NBA players are broke within five years of retirement. For 78 percent of NFL players, it takes only three years. Sucked into bad investments, stalked by freeloaders, saddled with medical problems, and naturally prone to showing off, many pro athletes get shocked by harsh economic realities after years of living the high life. Drawing surprisingly vulnerable confessions from retired stars like Keith McCants, Bernie Kosar and Andre Rison, as well as Marvin Miller, the former executive director of the MLB Players Association, this fascinating documentary digs into the psychology of men whose competitive nature can carry them to victory on the field and ruin off it. Director Billy Corben (The U, C0caine Cowboys, Limelight) paints a complex picture of the many forces that drain athletes’ bank accounts, placing some of the blame on the culture at large while still holding these giants accountable for their own hubris. A story of the dark side of success, “Broke,” is an allegory for the financial woes haunting economies and individuals all over the world. We’re glad that somebody decided to address the issue on film because it seems like every other day we are reporting about another one of these dummies spending up all their money on dumb isht. We can’t wait to see this one. Will you be watching? “Broke” airs tonight Oct. 2 at 8pm EST on ESPN

Kris Humphries stands 6’9″ and weighs approximately 235 pounds. In other words: it’s difficult for the former Mr. Kim Kardashian to sneak around, which may explain why TMZ cameras caught him entering the Rutherford, New Jersey home of Myla Sinanaj yesterday. Yes, the same Myla Sinanaj who once threatened to sue the NBA baller and who also once claimed she was knocked up with his child . Considering Humphries was there for hours, and considering witnesses also allege his car was parked outside overnight on Monday, why do we have a feeling Kris was entering more than just Myla’s abode? Sinanaj was actually deposed by Kardashian’s attorneys last month, called to testify as part of The Divorce Case That Will Never End. She said at the time that she was never pregnant; never took any money from Kris; and never talked to him about his relationship with Kim. But did she ever have sex with the Hump ? Sinanaj was advised to ignore that question. But we all have the answer now, don’t we?
