Shaq recently broke off his engagement with “Flava of Love” contestant.

Shaquille O’Neal and his now ex-fiancé Nicole Alexander, better known as Hoopz looked like the perfect couple.  We would see them playing like kids in backyard pictures, smiling at games, and kissing on the street.  Shaq proposed to her at the Sahara Mediterranean Cuisine and Hookah Lounge and it seemed that the couple was headed to married bliss.  Well, the honeymoon is over before it began.

According to friends, Shaq called it quits and Hoopz lost it.  I guess it is hard to see all that money flash before your eyes on your way out the door. Things got so out of hand that Shaq left his own home and then called security to escort Hoopz out of the house.

I have just three questions. One: what kind of man takes sloppy seconds from Flava Flav? Two: Is there a class for celebrity men on how to kick your woman to the curb? Because they all are following the same script; break-up, leave the house, call security. (Or in Deion Sanders’ case call your Aunt.) Three: Will this mean that the first ex-Shaq will have another cast member on Basketball Wives?

Well, Shaq seems to be taking the break-up well. He has been seen chopping it up with a new chick inLas Vegas.
