Antoine Walker Sued for Sleeping with Man’s Fiancée

by Hoopsvibe


Right now life isn’t exactly fantastic for Antoine Walker, the NBA’s all-time leader in both shimmies and four-pointers attempted. After blowing through a phenomenal amount of dough (he earned over $110 million in his career) and struggling to return to the league, the last thing he wants is to be exposed to more financial liabilities. Unfortunately for ‘Toine, that’s exactly what happened when a Chicago resident by the name of Kevin Jenkinsfiled a suit claiming that Antoine Walker not only slept with his fiancée but convinced her to kick him out of their residence while Walker waited outside in his Range Rover.

The lady in question is one Johanna Edelberg, whose name last showed up in the papers in 2001 when her roommate committed suicide after the two smoked marijuana in their Manhattan apartment. Both women were then working as plus-size models for NYC’s famed Wilhelmina Models agency, and a quick Google search turns up a number of photoshoots featuring the curvy Ms. Edelberg in such a capacity.

by Andrew Flint

It seems like only yesterday that we first reported that Maria Sharapova and Sasha Vujacic were dating, and initially few were ready to believe that The Machine, he whose rump is festooned with bench splinters, could have snagged one of the world’s most recognizable athletes. As time went on, however, it became increasingly clear that the two were indeed an item, especially when photos started appearing of the pair all coupled up.

by C.Y. Ellis

I’m a simple creature, and as such it doesn’t take a whole lot to keep me content. With the weather warming up, then, and the NBA playoffs in full swing, I was already a fairly happy chappy. This morning, though, things just got a whole lot better.

After reading a number of vague reports that ‘Toine was mulling a comeback, ESPN today reported that Employee Number 8 was indeed bringing his four-point-shooting ass back to the league. If the league will have him, that is. Here’s the information we have right now:

[vid] Basketball Wives: Evelyn Lozada Plans Her 34th Birthday; Royce Reed an Issue Again

by Hoopsvibe

After an interesting opening episode, I was wondering what mischief the women of VH1’s Basketball Wives would find themselves in for the second show. Well, in the clip below the action turns to the preparations for Evelyn Lozada’s 34th birthday party, which doubles as an independence party acknowledging the end of her ten-year relationship with Antoine Walker. She and her event planner visit different spots as they decide on a venue, but the real quandary concerns whether or not to invite Royce Reed, who in the previous episode embarrassed the other basketball wives with her dancing.

Shaq to Kids: Tell Shaunie’s New Boyfriend I’ll Kill Him

by Andrew Flint

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.

Report: Allen Iverson Involved in Bar Altercation

by Elijah Abramson

The problems are still piling up for Allen Iverson.  After splitting from the Philadelphia 76ers and divorcing wife Tawanna Iverson, you couldn’t blame AI for acting a little out of character.  Reports hit the gossip pages suggesting that Iverson had something of a drinking problem and that his gambling behavior had resulted in his being banned from several casinos.  The purchase of a $4.5 million house seemed to confirm the split from Tawanna, and since then we’ve heard very little from the former NBA MVP.
