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.”
Turns out Allen Iverson was handed two big breakups this week – one from, his NBA team, the other from his wife. According to reports, Tawanna Iverson filed papers Tuesday in Atlanta’s Fulton County Superior Court saying their 8½-year marriage is “irretrievably broken.” On the same day, the Philadelphia 76ers announced he would not return for the rest of the season. After returning to the 76ers as a free agent in December, Iverson flew to Atlanta in February to be with his family as his four-year-old daughter, Messiah, dealt with an undisclosed illness. Tawanna is asking for full custody of the couple’s five children, child support and alimony.
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.
