One-time Philadelphia Eagles teammates Donovan McNabb and Terrell Owens are back together again for an upcoming basketball-themed episode of Spike TV’s reality series “Pros vs. Joes.” The quarreling quarterback and wide receiver will be featured on an episode that pits former NBA stars against NFL players that played college basketball. McNabb (Syracuse), Owens (Tennessee-Chattanooga) and Antonio Gates (Kent St.) will face Hakeem Olajuwon, Kenny Smith and Rick Fox. T.O. helped McNabb and the Philadelphia Eagles reach the Super Bowl in 2004, but a feud ended their relationship. Shortly afterward, Owens demanded a new contract, criticized management and ripped McNabb before he was ultimately cut midway through the ‘05 season. Owens is a free agent after spending last year with Buffalo. He caught 55 passes for 829 yards and five touchdowns in his only season with the Bills. Owens played three seasons with Dallas after he was released by Philadelphia. McNabb has been the subject of trade rumors since the Eagles lost to the Cowboys in the first round of the playoffs. He’s led Philadelphia to five NFC championship games and one Super Bowl in 11 seasons.
Chris Rock Gets Handsy with Gabby Sidibe. Chris Rock incurred the wrath of Gabourey Sidibe’s father Thursday when he took liberties with the actress’ backside during the third annual Essence Black Women in Hollywood event. The “Precious” star, who is nominated for a Best Actress Oscar at Sunday’s Academy Awards, got a shock when Rock gave her the two-handed booty grab as she made her way to the stage. The actress laughed and brushed it off with a playful slap, but Gabby’s daddy wasn’t so forgiving. She tells ET Online, “As I go up to get my award in a room where my dad is, because he’s one of my dates, Chris Rock grabbed my butt with both of his hands – and then I slapped him back. I didn’t think too much of it at all, but my dad was super p**sed.” As for Rock copping a feel at her expense, Sidibe quips, “Some dudes gotta have it – it’s my own fault for being too damn fine.”
No charges for Naomi Campbell in Driver Incident. It wasn’t a cab driver but rather a “chauffeur” who accused the supermodel of beating him from the back seat of a luxury SUV before she hopped out and ran off. The Associated Press reports that police consulted with the Manhattan district attorney’s office and issued a harassment report against the tempermental catwalk queen, which doesn’t carry any penalty. Arrests are unlikely in the case, authorities said. Earlier Tuesday, the driver – who had been hired to drive Campbell around New York City – told police she hit him from behind and his head struck the steering wheel of the black Cadillac Escalade, causing bruising under his right eye. He pulled over in midtown Manhattan and got out to speak to a traffic agent, who alerted police. The chauffeur, who also drives Campbell’s boyfriend, decided not to pursue the matter criminally. It’s unclear if he would pursue it in civil court. Campbell was not at the scene when officers arrived, police said. She did not speak to police, but her assistant went to the station house where the driver gave his account. A spokesman for Campbell, who has previously pleaded guilty to assaulting people hired to work for her, said she would cooperate with police. “There shouldn’t be a rush to judgment,” spokesman Jeff Raymond said. “Naomi will cooperate voluntarily, and there is more to the story than meets the eye.” The 27-year-old driver, apparently hired just for the day, told police he picked Campbell up at a Manhattan hotel and was taking her to Astoria Studios, a TV and film studio complex in Queens, New York Police Department spokesman Paul Browne said.
Sixers Dump Allen Iverson for the Season. Allen Iverson’s short return to the Philadelphia 76ers has ended. The point guard, who once led the team to the NBA finals, will not come back to the organization for the rest of the season, the Sixers announced Tuesday. The decision follows Iverson’s month-long absence from the team in order to deal with the undisclosed illness of his 4-year-old daughter, Messiah. Iverson, who returned to the 76ers as a free-agent in December, has not played since Feb. 20. “After discussing the situation with Allen, we have come to the conclusion that he will not return to the Sixers for the remainder of the season, as he no longer wishes to be a distraction to the organization and teammates that he loves very deeply,” team president Ed Stefanski said. “It has been very difficult for Allen and the team to maintain any consistency as he tries to balance his career with his personal life.” Iverson has returned to Atlanta to be with his family. Coach Eddie Jordan said at practice it was best for Iverson to move on and put his focus on his daughter. “I think it was the right thing to do at the right time,” Jordan said. “His body of work has proven to be a terrific body of work in the history of the NBA.”
‘America’s Most Wanted’ Taps Obama For 1000th Broadcast. President Barack Obama will make an appearance on the 1,000th episode of the long-running criminal-profile series “America’s Most Wanted,” airing Saturday at 9 p.m. EST on Fox. During the White House interview, host John Walsh talks with the Commander In Chief about the milestone episode, the show’s impact over its 22 years and his administration’s anti-crime initiatives, including an emphasis on white-collar crime. Obama also promises to do everything in his power to ensure that Congress fully funds The Adam Walsh Child Protection and Safety Act of 2006 – named after Walsh’s six-year-old son who was abducted and murdered in 1981. The act established the National Sex Offender Registry. According to Fox, “America’s Most Wanted” has helped capture more than 1,100 fugitives to date and reunited 43 missing children with their families.
Three Teachers Mock Black History Month with Rodman, RuPaul and O.J. Black History Month has truly come to a close…and with what three white male teachers would call a “bang.” The school, which is 90% latino, was putting on a Black History Month parade where the children would carry pictures of famous African Americans. Well the bang those teachers were trying to make was in the form of Dennis Rodman (basketball player gone wild), RuPaul (drag queen of all drag queens), and O.J. Simpson (football player done lost his damn mind…acquitted of murdering his wife and her friend, yet still manages to land in jail for armed robbery). It appears that the teachers little jokey joke blew up in their faces. But, the only explosion was their jobs going up in flames. According to the Associated Press, the teachers have been removed from the classroom. But if the NAACP’s Los Angeles chapter president, Leon Jenkins, has anything to say about it, they will be fired. It all happened Friday at Wadsworth Avenue Elementary School in South Los Angeles. One of the parents, Sharon Tinson, told AP she was shocked to see O.J., but she “just laughed.” She has two daughters that attend the school. She also said, “Simpson, like Rodman, was a great athlete before falling from grace. RuPaul simply has an alternative lifestyle, she added.
Report: Elin Moving Back In with Tiger. RadarOnline.com is reporting that Elin Nordegren will end her three-month break from philandering husband Tiger Woods and has agreed to move back into the house. After going away with Tiger and their two children last week, Elin decided earlier this week to move back into their home in Windermere Fl, the Web site reported. She is currently renting a house about a mile from the property. On Wednesday, Elin and Tiger spent approximately three hours together at the house. They were in the backyard, and a source close to the situation told RadarOnline.com exclusively that at one point Tiger kissed Elin on the cheek three times and they hugged.
Tiger’s Caddy: ‘Of Course I’m Mad At Him’. Add Tiger Woods’ caddy to the long list of people upset with the superstar golfer. In an interview with New Zealand commercial television network TV3, Steve Williams expressed anger and frustration at his boss over the string of adulterous affairs and said he would have exposed Tiger’s secret had he known. “I’m a straight-up sort of person. If I had known something was going on, the whistle would have been blown,” said Williams, adding that he was angry after the revelations emerged, but his role was to be a friend to Woods. “Of course I’m mad at him, why would you not be?” Williams said. “I’m close with his wife and he’s got two lovely children and he’s let them down. …When a guy’s having a tough time, it’s not up to me to beat him with a stick right now. He’s getting enough grilling from everybody else. “Tiger’s one of my closest friends and he needs my support right now and I’d never think of walking away.” The New Zealander said he had not spoken to Woods about his transgressions since it made world headlines in November. “When I talk to him, I don’t talk to him about what’s happened. I talk to him about the future and about what we’re going to try to accomplish and how we’re going to get over it,” Williams said.
If you ever testify in court, you might wish you could have been as sharp as this policeman. He was being cross-examined by a defense attorney during a felony trial. The lawyer was trying to undermine the police officer’s credibility…
Q: ‘Officer — did you see my client fleeing the scene?’
A: ‘No sir. But I subsequently observed a person matching the description of the offender, running several blocks away.’
Q: ‘Officer — who provided this description?’
A: ‘The officer who responded to the scene.’
Q: ‘A fellow officer provided the description of this so-called offender. Do you trust your fellow officers?’
A: ‘Yes, sir. With my life.’
Q: ‘With your life? Let me ask you this then officer. Do you have a room where you change your clothes in preparation for your daily duties?’
A: ‘Yes sir, we do!’
Q: ‘And do you have a locker in the room?’
A: ‘Yes sir, I do.’
Q: ‘And do you have a lock on your locker?’
A: ‘Yes sir.’
Q: ‘Now why is it, officer, if you trust your fellow officers with your life, you find it necessary to lock your locker in a room you share with these same officers?’
A: ‘You see, sir — we share the building with the court complex, and sometimes lawyers have been known to walk through that room.’
The courtroom EXPLODED with laughter, and a prompt recess was called. The officer on the stand has been nominated for this year’s ‘Best Comeback’ line — and we think he’ll win.
