Here is a little news from the home wrecker front. According to Bossip.com, Gabrielle Union recently gave her reasons why she does not want to be a basketball wife. “I pay my own bills, first off, so I’ve never put myself in a position to have to be a jack a$% or to have to sell myself down the river for a reality show. … But, I don’t knock anybody else’s hustle. It’s just not my path.” Oh wow, thanks for letting us know how you really feel. Union didn’t exactly land Miami Heat star Dwyane Wade in the most fashionable means, and skankism shows no economic boundaries. Sure, you got money to pay your bills from your blockbuster hits like Deliver Us From Eva, but your image is just as tarnished as Evelyn. Union might attempt to distance herself from the Basketball Wives, but she doesn’t fall too far from the tree.
Cruisin’ for a bruisin
Neo-soul singer D’Angelo pleaded guilty last week to disorderly conduct after the 37-year-old Brown Sugar singer was caught soliciting sex for $40 from a police officer disguised as a prostitute in 2010. E! News daily reported the singer was booked and let go. Hip Hop Wired.com questioned if we would see another album from the once-popular singer. I would not mind listening because I was a big D’Angelo fan. As for him doing another video like Untitled (How Does It Feel), I think not. Dude is looking a little roughed up and heavy these days. It is a shame that a nice-lookin brotha like him has let himself slide like that.
In Sheen’s defense
Mike Tyson recently told Access Hollywood that he doesn’t see anything wrong with actor Charlie Sheen’s erratic behavior. The former boxing champ said, “Charlie, he’ll get it together. Listen he passed all the drug tests. If the drug tests say he’s clean, he’s clean. Maybe he’s got some emotional issues, maybe, and maybe he’s not a drug addict. Let’s get him checked on that and see how’s the outcome. He might be clean on that. He might be OK. And Charlie is just Charlie and we all need to get some of that new drug Charlie Sheen is on … I love Charlie.”
