Odd title, I know, and the story itself doesn't make much more sense.

Here, in short, are the details:

- Charlsie House, wife of Boston Celtics guard Eddie House, was in attendance for the Suns' win over Gang Green on December 30.

- Brandon Laird shouted derogatory remarks at Charlsie House before allegedly taking a swing at one of the other women in the lounge.

- A brawl broke out, resulting in the arrest of two MLB players for scrapping with security guards at the U.S. Airways Arena.  Those two were brothers Brandon and Gerald Laird and Brandon Laird, the former a catcher for the Detroit Tigers and the latter a prospect for the New York Yankees.

- The Lairds' uncle was also arrested.

- When pressed for more information surrounding the affairs of that evening, Charlsie House also claimed that the grandfather of the two Lairds touched  her inappropriately.

Classy folks, those Lairds.

After receiving an an apology ring for Kobe Bryant's transgressions valued at over $4 million, it's no wonder the first lady of the Lakers developed a taste for expensive jewelry.  When Vanessa Bryant visited the home of the first lady of the United States, then, she had to break out something a little special.  That came in the form of a Rolex Oyster watch costing over $51,000.  That may sound a little pricey initially, but you can't overpay for luxury, right?

With a frame that would serve her well in the NFL and a smile that causes my testicles to retreat to my abdominal cavity for safety, you'd hope that Double-K would at least have the good sense to keep herself clean.  Unfortunately, we now know that in her totally-not-phony marriage, she ranks second on the personal hygiene leaderboard.  We are aware of this fact because Khloé Kardashian herself confessed to OK! Magazine that husband Lamar Odom is cleaner than she.  To up the creep factor, she also added this horrifying detail:

"[Lamar Odom] is constantly cleaning down there."

Did anybody else wonder why the Mavericks were without their HOFer-to-be point guard for Sunday's ruthless spanking of the Knickerbockers?  Nor did I.  Still, it transpires that Jason Kidd missed the game to support girlfriend Porschla Coleman during the birth of his fifth child.  Evidently the relationship between Kidd and Coleman, who were first spotted together at a charity function hosted by LeBron James, moved quicker than they were letting on.

So what does a seven-footer do when he's out for the season - again - with an injury that could hamper his long-term potential?  If you're Greg Oden, apparently you take and distribute MySpace-style photos of yourself in the mirror.  Nude.

Dwight Howard may have come under fire lately for his inconsistent production, but the former Sprite Slam Dunk champion obviously hasn't lost his sense of humour.  Prompted by Ernie Johnson, D12 happily breaks out his Charles Barkley impersonation to the amusement of the TNT crew.  Check out the clip below and let us know if you think Dwight Howard's Charles Barkley impersonation hit the target or if, like Howard's face-up game, it needs a little work.

Dwyane and his wife Siohvaughn welcomed the latest addition to the Wade family. Zion Malachi Airamis Wade was born on Tuesday, May 29,2007 at 8:45 p.m. CT in Chicago.

Shaunie O'Neal, producer of VH1's Basketball Wives (see pictures of the ladies here) and ex-wife of Shaquille O'Neal, apparently isn't getting along so well with the big fella.  Diesel was already mad that Shaunie was snapped with her new boyfriend Marlon Yates, and the television series prompted him to seek an injunction halting its production.  The basis for that legal maneuver was a "non-disparagement" clause in Shaunie and Shaq's divorce agreement which prohibits either of the former couple making negative comments about the other.

Many internet sources recently rumored Kobe Bryant to be about to file for divorce and separate from his wife Vanessa Bryant.
