Sarah Palin Gaining On Obama In The Polls

...But Will She Run For President

Barack Obama

Former Alaska Governor and Vice Presidential candidate from 2008, Sarah Palin, is gaining on incumbent, President Barack Obama, in national polls. This according to poll results released to the public this week.

Sarah Palin

That's probably the brothas in the NBA switching their vote, after reading about Palin with former basketball player, Glen Rice. I'm just kidding, but she really is catching up to Obama in the polls, while Texas Governor, Rick Perry, leads the pack in several surveys.

Report: Sarah Palin Slept With Glen Rice

Yes, You Read That Right

The National Enquirer is claiming, the book "The Rogue: Searching For The Real Sarah Palin" states, former Alaska Governor, Sarah Palin, slept with NBA basketball player, Glen Rice in 1987. You know, when I first read that tonight, I thought it said Glenn Beck (from Fox News) and didn't bat an eyelash. But that's what happens when I'm up too late writing for your amusement.

Then I read it again and it dawned on me - Glen Rice - the former Miami Heat star known as "G-Money" (brows raised). Rice allegedly confirmed the story. Never saw that one coming, did you. I thought you guys said she was a racist. So explain this one (LOL).

Sarah Palin. Ooh girl, they are airing out all your business in that book!

A funny story about Rice. My family and I met him in the mid 1990s at a place in Miami called CocoWalk (also known as the Grove). He was a nice guy. I asked him to sign an autograph for my little godbrother (about age 6 at the time), who my mother had begun to brainwash with sports and ESPN from an early age (he now plays college football).

Rice was nice, polite, smiled and signed the autograph. My mom was the one that spotted him, then my godbrother. My mom loves sports (as do I). She can name just about every major NFL and NBA player, but ask her what her Social Security number is in business matters and she will genuinely draw a blank for a few seconds and look at me saying, "What is it again?" But I digress...

Glen Rice and former wife Cristy Rice

Rice's then girlfriend, who later became his wife, wasn't that sweet, though. She wasn't happy he was signing the autograph and gave us a look. Then, when two other people saw him and crossed the street to ask for his autograph as well, she snapped, "One more and that's it!" While I'm thinking, they want his autograph, not yours. Really, who begrudges a little kid an autograph. She made a bad impression on my family and the other two strangers that asked for his autograph.

Later I found out, she had previously dated a friend of my mom's from her job (where they worked with disabled people) whose dad was a judge. He was a mild-mannered person, but she was disrespectful to him and cheated on him as well. Old habits die hard. Imagine my faux surprise when years later I read about her being not so nice again and cheating on Rice with a man she hid in the closet of his house, which led to a confrontation that ended up in the press. Here's hoping she changes her ways, as all that unpleasantness is unnecessary in life.

When Bloggers Attack…Or Is It When Reality Stars Attack

Chad Ochocinco and Evelyn Lozada

"Basketball Wives" reality TV star, Evelyn Lozada, is mad at the blogosphere (what did we do to her?). Lozada is upset at blogs for allegedly publishing items, stating she is pregnant and her engagement to NFL footballer, Chad Ochocinco Johnson, has been called off, due to her cheating with his former teammate, Terrell Owens.

Terrell Owens and Evelyn Lozada

Lozada took to Twitter again to slam bloggers for making up said stories about her personal life. She stated she is not pregnant at this time and still very much with Johnson. The question is how long will he be with her, if she continues to be so controlling. Why won't she let milk dud breathe - he is a grown man.

Antoine Walker and Evelyn Lozada

Side Bar: First it was the NBA's Antoine Walker, then she switched leagues to the NFL's Chad Ochocino and allegedly Terrell Owens. I'm going to take a wild guess here and state, Lozada has a thing for bald black brothers. No wonder they think something happened with Owens, but she seems pretty adamant nothing occurred.

Will the forthcoming marriage of NFL football player, Chad "Ochocinco" Johnson and "Basketball Wives" reality star, Evelyn Lozada last or end in disaster. In the profane season finale of "Basketball Wives" Ochocinco bristled when Lozada flew into a rage, after witnessing the athlete having lunch at a restaurant in Miami with a mystery woman. I thought she was going to knock him out then and there. She was furious.

Evelyn Lozada

Ochocinco stated he is an open individual, unwilling to change his life of being a people person, but Lozada is carrying baggage from her last relationship with NBA athlete, Antoine Walker, who reportedly cheated on her. As a result, Lozada is concerned the same will happen with Ochocinco.

Evelyn Lozada and daughter Shanice

All over the world, regardless of the culture, women relentlessly pursue wealthy athletes, due to the fame and lavish living that comes with being in such a relationship. But it has its downside as well - namely infidelity. Will the Ochocinco Lozada union, if it gets off the ground, suffer the same. Regardless, the show's producer, Shaunie O'Neal will be there to capture the marriage and any angry eruptions, all for ratings.

Someone is not content with tormenting the NBA with the frequently sued reality show "Basketball Wives" which is based in Miami, Florida. The show's producer, Shaunie O'Neal, ex-wife of retired NBA basketball player, Shaquille O'Neal, has decided to return to her native California and release a spin off of the show titled "Basketball Wives LA."

"Basketball Wives" cast

It is set to debut this month and most likely with the same Jerry Springer style antics as the original. I hate to call it that, as "Basketball Wives" is a very derivative version of "The Real Housewives" reality series by Bravo and follows the exact same business plan, via city spin-offs.

"Basketball Wives" cast members Shanice, her mom, Evelyn Lozada and Jennifer Williams

As the Judiciary Report predicted, well before the ratings revealed it to be so, "Basketball Wives" (4.3 million viewers) has surpassed "The Real Housewives of Atlanta" (4 million viewers) in the ratings and press (Has "Basketball Wives" Topped "The Real Housewives Of Atlanta"). Too bad the content is so low brow.

Shaunie O'Neal

Well, well, well! I remember in February 2011, when the Judiciary Report published an article stating the reality show Basketball Wives "makes black women look bad" (Shaunie Stirring The Doo Doo In The NBA). Shortly after, Shaunie O'Neal, a part time Miami resident, did an interview upset that it was said the show "makes black women look bad" (Is Evelyn Lozada About To Stab Shaunie O'Neal In The Back For Her Own Show). It was bite off the blogger's head time. But here we have it, several months later, in an interview conducted days ago, O'Neal stated she is embarrassed by the show and its Jerry Springer type tactics, particularly the fighting:

“When I started the show I really just wanted to follow this group of ladies around. We all have a common bond; we understand each other’s lives. It started as that. Since then, it’s taken on a life of its own. I never imagined it would be a group of ladies fighting and arguing that way that they do. That was never part of the plan.”

“I hate that it has to be a fight or an argument that gives us 4.2 million viewers. I hate that, but it’s something where I’m working as hard as I can to show some type of balance, because it is there. We do know how to act, we do charity work. I would love a little more balance and we’re going to try to do more of that in season 4. I know that people love the fighting and the arguing, but I do want to have some positive in there somewhere.”

“I feel like that show, from what I hear in certain production calls and stuff like that, is turning into ‘I have slept with a basketball player at some point of time in my life, so now I’m on Basketball Wives’. That’s definitely not what I brought to the table and not what I would be proud of having my name on. I think that’s a whole different show that I wouldn’t produce. A change needs to be made somewhere in these reality shows. If I can be the start, I would to be a start in showing some balances.”

"Basketball Wives" cast members Shanice, her mom, Evelyn Lozada and Jennifer Williams

When one contrasts "Basketball Wives" with shows in its genre, such as "Braxton Family Values" which is not a fight fest, it becomes apparent that one does not have to resort to such tactics to gain viewers. In fact, the Braxton sisters stated, initially their show was not picked up by a few other networks, because they refused to get into fist fights on camera, stating they do not do that.

Kim Kardashian Wedding To Be Screened On TV For Four Hours

Kim Kardashian

Reality TV star, Kim Kardashian, 30, is going all out in her well- publicized bid to rival the April 2011 British royal wedding of Prince William and Kate Middleton. The E! network, which hosts Kardashian's reality shows, is helping her in this quest.

Pippa Middleton

The channel has announced they are devoting four hours to televising her wedding to NBA basketball star, Kris Humphries, 25. I hardly think it will generate the same attention the royal wedding did - well, unless you plan on inviting Pippa Middleton. It would be a butt conference.

Did Basketball Wives Star Evelyn Lozada Leave Her Fiancé Because He Lost His Money

Antoine Walker and Evelyn Lozada

Did "Basketball Wives" reality TV star, Evelyn Lozada, 35, leave her finance of 10-years, NBA basketball player, Antoine Walker, because he lost almost all of his money, due to excessive spending and gambling, forcing him to put his Miami mansion on the market. The house originally priced at, $3,4000,000, is still on the market, suffering from a number of price reductions.

Walker's home in the Miami suburb of Coconut Grove has been on the market for the past 8-months

The Miami Heat athlete made millions, but was regrettably arrested for writing bad checks to a casino to cover his gambling debts. The Judiciary Report does not support gambling, as it can become an addiction, robbing people of all they have worked for.

Walker's property has seven bedrooms

Lozada left Walker when his money woes arose, moving out of the Coconut Grove mansion they shared, as it faced foreclosure and he bankruptcy. However, she was able to start her own boutique in neighboring Coral Gables, with money she gained from Walker. Lozada now lives in a condo with her 17-year-old daughter Shanice, after living in the lap of luxury with Walker for years.

Walker's property also features a pool

The reality star cried on "Basketball Wives" bitter that Walker did not marry her after all those years. One has to admit, an engagement lasting for a decade is not the norm and clearly betrays the fact, Walker did not want to marry Lozada.

Evelyn Lozada and daughter Shanice

Could it be Lozada's well known temper, love of money or her reputation as a NBA groupie (as disdainfully mentioned on "Basketball Wives"). His reported cheating most likely played apart in his desire to remain single as well.

Chad Johnson and Evelyn Lozada

Walker is now playing for smaller basketball teams, while he works to repair his life and finances. Lozada is engaged to millionaire NFL football player, Chad "Ochocinco" Johnson, who was just traded to the New England Patriots.

Is Kim Kardashian Getting Too Clingy With Fiancé

...His Own Words Indicate That She Is

Reality star, Kim Kardashian, is set to marry NBA basketball player, Kris Humphries. However, is Kim being clingy. Humphries turned off his mobile phone to attend his bachelor party. However, Kardashian argued with him before he did so.

Humphries stated, "I told Kim, I said, 'Look, I'm turning my phone off, I'll see you back in L.A. Monday afternoon,' Kris Humphries explained. 'She was like, 'No, you're not turning off your phone, I love you, you're not turning off your phone.' Like, it's our bachelor party, give me some freedom."

Well, that didn't work, as Kardashian crashed his bachelor party. While it is understandable that she would be concerned about a bachelor party, as what some men get up to at these events is downright wrong and displays a massive lack of loyalty to their bride-to-be, Kardashian still seems clingy in other ways that is clearly upsetting Humphries. I know I'm not the only one that thinks their marriage, if it happens, is headed for disaster. I hope not, but thing don't look good.

Amy Winehouse's Funeral Held In London

Amy Winehouse

The funeral for British singer, Amy Winehouse, was held in London, England today, as the singer was found dead on Saturday, July 23, 2011, of a suspected drug overdose. Dozens of Winehouse's family and friends, came out to pay their respects and bid her farewell.

Crowds gather outside the funeral

Winehouse's ex-husband, Blake Fielder-Civil, who publicly admitted he introduced the once healthy singer to heroin and crack-cocaine, marking a massive downward spiral in her life and career, was barred from the funeral by her family and denied permission to leave prison to attend the funeral.

Amy Winehouse's dad Mitch Winehouse

No official cause of death has been determined at this time, due to the autopsy being branded "inconclusive." Standard toxicology tests are underway, with the results expected in several weeks. Winehouse leaves behind an estate worth millions and numerous unreleased songs.

Amy Winehouse's family and friends

Her story should serve as a sobering reminder to many of the dangers of drug and alcohol abuse, as Winehouse had so much to live for, but due to not embracing the importance of remaining sober, lost her life. This really is a tragic waste of life, because as accomplished as she was in her chosen profession, there was still so much more she could have done over time, with the talents God gave her. Drug and alcohol abuse brought it to a halt.

Amy Winehouse's back up singers

It is full time the entertainment industry started doing more to keep artists drug free. It is ridiculous the number of entertainers that have overdosed. The National Basketball Association in America has taken a proactive role in educating athletes on the dangers of fame and wealth. It's time the music, film and television industries in Britain and America do the same.
