A.I. Banned From Detroit Casinos

The NBA is looking into a disturbance at Greektown that involved one of Iverson's body guards. Iverson may have been trying to act as a peacemaker but his body guard was involved in some kind of tussle. Iverson, though, has been banned mostly for his boorish behavior. He is a bad loser, and he loses a lot, often throwing his chips or cards at the dealer. He has been warned about improper behavior at the tables repeatedly. He is often loud and disruptive, according to witnesses, rude to dealers, other players and the wait staff.Earlier this season, Iverson caused a disturbance at a casino outside of Minneapolis. He's also earned a bad reputation at Atlantic City.

Q: What drives you, as an actor, to be as intense as you are?

TH: I ride life like it’s a beautiful go-cart. Me and my friends, we’ll get out there and make a go-cart. You spend so much time finding pieces to make the go-cart, and sometimes it don’t work. But then, all of a sudden, you’ve got a go-cart that’s working. And right when you start riding down the hill, your mother calls you and tells you that you gotta come in. The little boy has to stop, right then and there. So, he comes in and he’s angry and sullen in the face. I’m having such a great time in my life right now. I’m making go-carts, you know?

First Rule In Lie Telling

Keep your lies straight! Last Saturday Chris Brown was photographed coming out of a tattoo parlor with some girl, whom everyone assumed to be his rebound chick. Then Chris' people were like, 'Yes Chris was at a parlor but not with no girl'. They claimed the girl photographed following Chris out of the tattoo parlor was with someone else in Chris' camp and even went so far as to say that Chris didn't even know the girl's name. Then word leaks [read: his publicist leaked] that the girl was CB's ex from back home. Meanwhile the girl, who turned out to be Natalie Mejia from the Pussy Cat Dolls Presents: Girlicious, blabbed to the Radar.com, “It’s true we did visit a tattoo parlor together but I can’t say if we got anything done because that is personal”, as well as adding that “things are going well between us but I really do not want to comment much more than that right now”. Lastly, she says that Chris “has treated me like a gentleman at all times actually and there are no complaints”.

Quincy Says

Kim Porter's son with Al B Sure posted an open letter to his father on Global Grind and here's an excerpt:

'Albert Brown, also known as “Al B Sure!” is my biological father, but Sean Combs, also known as “Diddy” has been a father figure in my life for as long as I can remember. Sean Combs is the person whom I look up to and appreciate as a father. He is the one who help mold me into the person I am today and will always try to live up to his expectations. He has always been supportive of me and I will forever love and respect him. As far as my biological father goes, the “spitting image” is all I have taken from him. Throughout my life, I’ve always wondered about him; Where he was? What was he doing? and most importantly, Was he even thinking about me? The absence of my father has given me a better understanding of what type of man I am going to be. I am grateful for my mom’s love, support, guidance, and for her strength.'

"I was like, 'AI, what's going on?' And he was ignoring me," Walker said. "So I was like whatever and went back to my spot. "Walker said Iverson's bodyguard started to give him a hard time and words were exchanged. As he turned to walk away, Walker said the bodyguard hit him. "We were just jaw-jacking back at each other. And just as I was about to turn, I just felt this pain in my eye," Walker said. "I didn't touch him, I didn't raise my hand or act like I was going to touch him. "Walker was taken to Henry Ford Hospital where he received nine stitches.
