Michael Vick Facing Heat Over Dog Fighting Claims

You know Atlanta Falcon Michael Vick is in trouble over suspected dog fighting on his property in Virginia. Mike claims to have no knowledge of it and says it's a case of family members taking advantage of him. Well some of his "so called" friends are blabbing to ESPN that he DOES know what's up and is very involved in it. And in other football news, they say even though suspended Tennessee Titan Adam "Pac Man" Jones is appealing his suspension for off field conduct, he can't seem to stay out of Atlanta topless bars. I'm just saying, if you want people to think you've changed, maybe you should, you know, change. Especially since messing around in topless bars is what got him in trouble in the first place.

Bobby Brown Suing Whitney Houston

Bobby Brown and Whitney Houston's divorce became final on April 24th and Bobby didn't get a thing. He didn't even get visitation rights for Bobbi Kristina. Now he wants the judge to set aside the original the divorce settlement, saying the reason he didn't contest the first judgement was because he didn't have any money. In the new court papers, Bobby claims to be practically homeless and he wants spousal support, child support and visitation rights.

Akon Apologizes for Trinidad Incident

Over a month ago there was an uproar over Akon humping a 14 year old girl onstage in Trinidad. Now all of a sudden Akon wants to issue a statement apologizing for his actions. He didn't do it when the girl's family came forward, he didn't do it during the media frenzy. Funny how after Verizon dropped him, now he wants to apologize. 

Here's his apology:

"First, and most important to me, I want to sincerely apologize for the embarrassment and any pain I've caused to the young woman who joined me on-stage, her family and the Trinidad community for the events at my concert in Port of Spain on April 12th. It was never my intention to embarrass or take advantage of my fans in any way, especially those under the age of 18. That is why we tried to make sure that the club did not admit anyone under 18 in the audience. Somehow, that standard was not met."

OJ Kicked Out Of Kentucky Steakhouse

OJ Simpson was in Kentucky for the derby and took 12 people to a steakhouse for dinner. Somebody went up to the owner excited that OJ was in the house, but the owner was disgusted.
He went over to OJ's table and told him, "I'm not going to serve you." OJ told him ok, and left.
The guy says, "I didn't want to serve him because of my convictions of what he's done to those families. The way he continues to torture the lives of those families ... with his behavior, attitude and conduct." Simpson's attorney, Yale Galanter, said the incident was about race, and he intended to pursue the matter and possibly go after the restaurant's liquor license.
"He screwed with the wrong guy, he really did." Galanter said

Ron Artest Gets Community Service For Beating His Wife

I got this straight from ESPN word for word.

Sacramento Kings forward Ron Artest pleaded no contest Thursday to a misdemeanor domestic violence charge stemming from a March 5 dispute with his wife, the latest in a string of off-court problems.

Placer County Superior Court Judge Francis Kearney sentenced Artest to 100 hours of community service and a 10-day work project through the county sheriff's department. Artest also was fined $600 and ordered to get extensive counseling.
Kearney modified the restraining order that has kept Artest away from his wife, Kimsha, and three children since the incident at his $1.85 million mansion in Loomis, 25 miles northeast of Sacramento.
Artest will be allowed to have peaceful contact with his wife, and there are no restrictions on contact with his children. The judge said an attorney for Artest's wife appeared before her Thursday morning to say that Kimsha Artest no longer wanted any restrictions on their contact.
He was accused of grabbing, pushing and slapping his wife during an argument and preventing her from calling 911. The couple's 3-year-old daughter was home at the time.
Artest was charged with corporal injury to a spouse, battery, false imprisonment and dissuading a witness from reporting a crime, all misdemeanors. He pleaded no contest to the first charge, while the others were dismissed, although they could be restored if he violates the terms of his three-year probation.
