So now the guy with all the rings has a watch too? Must be nice… Hublot Unveils Kobe Bryant’s Signature Timepiece King Power Black Mamba Via Forbes Swiss luxury watch brand, Hublot, has named Los Angeles Lakers’ star shooting guard, Kobe Bryant, is its newest ambassador. To commemorate the partnership, Hublot released Kobe’s signature timepiece, the limited edition King Power Black Mamba. “Bryant was the perfect choice for Hublot—a brand known for its precision and excellence, traits that have characterized the basketball icon’s celebrated career,” said Ricardo Guadalupe, CEO of Hublot. Hublot is enhancing its alliance with Bryant through its support of the Kobe and Vanessa Bryant Family Foundation. The Foundation is dedicated to improving the lives of youth and families in need by providing financial resources for like-minded organizations. The announcement was made Wednesday on the rooftop of The London Hotel West Hollywood. Guadalupe presented Bryant with the Limited Edition King Power Black Mamba. This was followed by a shoot-off with two children from After-School All Stars Los Angeles, a charitable beneficiary of the Bryant Family Foundation. Taking shots from a makeshift basketball court constructed over the hotel’s rooftop pool, the contest raised $30,000 for the program. At least Kobe was able to finagle some charity out of these folks instead of just selling luxury goods to rich followers who want to live like Mr. Camel .

Pay up! Bow Wow By French Adult Film Star Via TMZ reports: Bow Wow has to cough up nearly $80,000 to a French freaky film star …. for allegedly jacking footage of her dancing and splashing it all over one of his videos without her permission … TMZ has learned. Adult film star Celine Tran — known as “Katsuni” — sued Bow Wow back in July 2012, claiming he stole clips of her pole dancing in a music video for a French band called Electronic Conspiracy and then used a ton of the footage in his music video “Drank in My Cup” … sans permission. Bow Wow didn’t even respond to the lawsuit, so a federal judge ordered him to pony up $79,346.07 (damages + attorneys’ fees) … and stop with the footage STAT. Sad part is … for $80k … he never got to see her naked. Check out the videos. They’re fun. Poor Bow Wow! Hopefully those 106 & Park and non existent YMCMB checks are still coming…

Talk about being caught with your hand in the cookie jar! Via TheSmokingGun A corrections officer has been charged with providing a 22-year-old female inmate with homemade chocolate chip cookies in exchage for sexual contact, police charge. According to a probable cause affidavit, Abner Canda–a 58-year-old guard at the county jail in Everett, Washington–engaged in several sexual interations with the inmate, who is only identified by the initials “C.D.” The woman told investigators that, “I showed him my breasts, willingly for some food” last May. After being released from the jail, she returned to the lockup in October and soon had another illicit encounter with the married Canda, who began working as a corrections officer in 2007. Canda, the inmate said, came to her room in mid-November and “kissed me and touched my breasts and also put his hand down my pants and placed his finger inside of [my vagina],” according to the Superior Court affidavit. On a subsequent occasion, Canda performed oral sex on “C.D.” The inmate told police that, “in exchange for the aforementioned sexual favors, Defendant gave her homemade chocolate chip cookies.” Says a lot about how bad jail is if folks are willing to stoke the C.O.’s wood just for a couple of cookies. “C.D.” said that she decided to tell investigators about her encounters with Canda because she felt “guilty for doing what I did,” adding that, “I’m ashamed for my actions that’s why I’m saying something.” In light of “C.D.”’s claims, detectives spoke with other female inmates, “at least two of whom suggested that they…had sexual contact” with Canda. One of the women “even claimed that she had been, in her words, ‘dating’ Defendant while an inmate.” Canda was charged this week with custodial sexual misconduct, a felony, for his alleged sexual encounters with “C.D.” Canda has been on paid administrative leave from his jail post since January. Dating?!?! GTFOHWTBS! Image via tumblr

Deelishis “shole” knows how to pick ‘em! The “Flavor Of Love 2″ “winner” was involved in a domestic dust up with her hubby last weekend, and it sounds like homeboy ain’t up to no good anyway because he’s also facing some serious drug charges. Via Detroit News reports : An alleged drug dealer faces new legal problems after prosecutors say he assaulted his estranged wife, Deelishis, a model and reality show star who won the VH1 reality show “Flavor of Love 2.” Federal court records shed light on a minor celebrity scandal that broke earlier this week when a popular Web site claimed Deelishis was assaulted by a pack of angry strippers. Deelishis, real name Chandra London Davis, denied the report. The 35-year-old Farmington Hills resident, known for her ample derriere, posted a message on the social-media site Instagram, saying she tripped on icy stairs while wearing expensive designer shoes. “I am fine & will be even better in a few days!” she wrote. Court records offer a darker explanation. Deelishis was injured jumping out of a second story window Sunday in Farmington Hills after allegedly being assaulted by her estranged husband, Franklin resident Orlando Gordon, according to federal court records. Gordon was free on bond and awaiting trial in federal court at the time of the incident. He was indicted in January 2012 along with more than a dozen others and accused of participating in a drug-trafficking operation involving thousands of pounds of blow and kush. Prosecutors asked a federal judge Thursday to revoke Gordon’s bond due, in part, to the alleged assault. “Gordon has engaged in criminal conduct that endangers the community — from driving while intoxicated to assault and home invasion,” Assistant U.S. Attorney Steven Cares wrote in a court filing. “These criminal acts show that no set of conditions can reasonably assure the safety of the community and Gordon’s bond should be revoked.” U.S. District Judge Sean Cox will consider the request March 12. Court records and a police report portray a violent incident Sunday at the reality-show star’s home on Muer Cove north of 13 Mile, where Deelishis lives with her two daughters. At 4:20 a.m., Gordon smashed through the front door and struck Deelishis in the face, according to court records. Deelishis, who had been sleeping in her daughter’s bedroom, ran to her master bedroom, where her friend was asleep. The friend? Michael Blackson, a popular stand-up comic known as The African King of Comedy. He performed Saturday at the Music Hall Center for the Performing Arts in Detroit. Gordon allegedly chased the comic and hit him in the face, according to court records. Deelishis, meanwhile, locked the bedroom door. Her estranged husband tried to get into the bedroom, prompting Deelishis to rip open the window screen and jump two stories to the ground, according to police. She later fled to a neighbor’s home and Gordon left his estranged wife’s house, according to police. “Davis was in a lot of pain from her right wrist,” according to the police report. “Davis also had blood on her right hand.” She was taken to Henry Ford West Bloomfield Hospital. Gordon is scheduled to stand trial April 9. He is accused of heading a large-scale drug ring with a second man, Wendell Tobias of Detroit. During a prolonged investigation, federal drug agents have seized more than $1 million cash, classic cars and more than $130,000 in jewelry – including Deelishis’ engagement ring and Rolex watch. Hmmmm a whole bunch of stuff about this story sounds off, for starters — why is he sleeping in the Master Bedroom — there’s no guest bedroom? Just sayin’ we’ve been to Farmington Hills before and most 2-story houses there have those. But besides that why is she saying anything at all about her injuries on Instagram knowing their is a police report and court documents out there with the truth. SMH. This sounds like some real mess. We never thought we’d say this but — Flav mighta dodged a bullet. Facebook/MySpace
