SPORTS JUNKIES: 2012 MEN'S BASKETBALL OLYMPICS SQUAD

noreply@blogger.com (AllureRadioDIVA) — Mon, 09 Jul 2012 16:48:00 +0000

From left in front are Chris Paul, Russell Westbrook, Deron Williams, James Harden, Andre Iguodala and Kobe Bryant. At rear are Carmelo Anthony, Blake Griffin, Tyson Chandler, Kevin Love, Kevin Durant and LeBron James.

Goodbye to Dwayne Wade, hello Kevin Durant.
From AJC.com
The Americans know their men's Olympic basketball team will look much different than the one that captured gold four years ago in Beijing. Three of the most important players from that team were unable to return, but the carryovers keep talking about being better now than they were then. "I think it has the potential to be that if we learn to use our versatility. It's a more versatile team than 2008. Now does that translate into being better?" coach Mike Krzyzewski said Sunday. "Although we don't have the center, that team didn't have Durant or Westbrook. So it's a different team and we'll see if it becomes better, but it can be. It could be." In some ways, that's difficult to envision. Wade was the team's leading scorer, averaging 16 points in just over 18 minutes per game off the bench. Howard started at center and averaged 10.9 points while shooting 74.5 percent from the field. Chris Bosh, also out this summer, backed him up and shot even better, knocking down 24 of 31 shots (77.4 percent) and leading the team with 6.1 rebounds per game. How can any team make up for all that? Read on....

"Well, we have some guys that can pick that up," LeBron James said. "I mean, D-Wade was our leading scorer, but we didn't have Kevin Durant on our team. We didn't have the activity of Tyson Chandler on our team as well and the athleticism at the point guard position." Westbrook is an offensive upgrade over Jason Kidd, the point guard not back from '08, and is seen by teammates as the player who could most easily fill Wade's role as the game-changer off the bench. As James sees it, Andre Iguodala is more athletic than Tayshaun Prince, and James Harden can do more things offensively than Michael Redd. Prince and Redd, along with Carlos Boozer, were reserves on the 2008 team but were not retained. Kidd retired from international competition after winning two gold medals. "If you match us up, we have so many great pieces that guys can just play to their strengths, and I think we can be better," James said. Having Durant is a start. The NBA's three-time scoring champion had the best tournament ever by an American player at the world basketball championship two years ago, scoring 22.8 points per game. But the biggest difference could be James, who was already a great player in 2008 but has grown into the best in the world by now. Carmelo Anthony, Chris Paul and Deron Williams, the other young players from that team, have made similar leaps toward superstardom, and Kobe Bryant has held steady where he was. "First of all, you have to look at the guys who are with us from the '08 team. They were 21, 22 years old back in Beijing. They're now in the prime of their careers, so they're a lot bigger, stronger, better basketball players today," USA Basketball chairman Jerry Colangelo said. "Those players by themselves are much better and I look at the players we've added. We have much more depth, much more talent than we had in '08 when I look at this roster versus that roster, and I'm not looking to make comparisons, but when asked the question, I'll put this team up against anyone." Center remains the biggest question mark. Chandler was the NBA's Defensive Player of the Year and has become more of a weapon offensively in recent years, but he's still not quite Howard. Kevin Love and Blake Griffin will have to show they can handle the move to center as well as Bosh did. The Americans averaged 106.2 points in 2008 and smashed their opponents by nearly 30 per game. Nobody was close to them until the gold-medal game, when Spain was within four points with 2½ minutes left before the U.S. pulled away to a 118-107 victory. Playing at that level again won't be easy. So no matter what the expectations are now, none of them matter until the games start in three weeks. "We didn't do nothing yet," Anthony said. "So until we go out there and we win the gold medal, then people are going to talk, going to speculate, but we'll see after we win the gold medal if we determine if we're a better team than '08."

IS FRANK OCEAN COMING OUT OF THE CLOSET?!?

noreply@blogger.com (AllureRadioDIVA) — Tue, 03 Jul 2012 19:52:00 +0000

So the question at hand is "Is Frank Ocean admitting to being gay/bisexual on his new album, Channel Orange"? Frank Ocean is over in the UK promoting his new LP and according to a review posted by Max/BBC 1 Xtra, Frank clearly uses the word "him" instead of "her" on several of his love songs. From the review:

Frank has also opened up about his sexuality on the album, we think it's brave and admire him for being so honest and sharing such a personal aspect of his lift trough music. On the songs Bad Religion, Pink Matter, and Forrest Gump, you can hear him sing about being in love and their are quite obvious words used like "him" and not "her".

Channel Orange hits stores on July 17th. Will you still support the album and his music after hearing this news??

ZOMBIE-LIKE ACTIVITY CONTINUES..THIS TIME IN CHINA!!

noreply@blogger.com (AllureRadioDIVA) — Tue, 03 Jul 2012 19:29:00 +0000

Sweet Baby Jesus Take The Wheel!!! Another zombie-like, cannibalistic attack has occured and this time in China. A drunk bus driver in China tried to chew off the face of a woman during the attack in Eastern China. [Eerily similar to the Miami Zombie Attack] According to the Shanghai's Daily website, the man identified as 'Doug' ran into the road near a bus station and jumped in front of a woman's car. He then hopped on the hood and starting pounding on the woman's windshield. When the woman, identified as "Du," got out of the car, Doug tackled her and began chewing on her face. Witnesses said they tried to stop the attack, but Doug was going "crazy" and overpowered them. Police eventually pulled the maniac off Du and cuffed him. The woman was taken to a local hospital with tears to her lips and nose and would need plastic surgery to repair her face, according to the report. Wait, Doug and they're in China?!?!?! That ain't that man's name!!! They just Americanized it for us. But this ish is getting outrageous!! [SOURCE]

LHHA'S JOSELINE HERNANDEZ ATTACKED AT VIEWING PARTY + TALKS HER PREGNANCY & OTHER RUMORS

noreply@blogger.com (AllureRadioDIVA) — Tue, 03 Jul 2012 15:39:00 +0000

And the LHHA mess continues! Several Atlanta bloggers are alleging that Joseline was attacked at a viewing party last night at an Atlanta venue. Reportedly, Joseline got into an altercation with a woman who questioned why she got an abortion, SUPPOSEDLY. After arguing for sometime, the sources are claiming that Joseline hit the woman then the woman fought her back. Joseline hasn't confirmed or denied the events but supposedly she was spotted with a bloody face after the fight. An non other than her MANager, Stevie J, was there to break up the fight. This ATL ish is a HOT ASS MESS!! All of the "pregnancy/abortion" jibberish is steaming from last nights episode where Joseline admitted to having an affair with Stevie J and accuses him of being the father of her newly implanted seed.

In other Joseline news, ever since the first episode premiered 3 weeks ago, rumors have been swirling that Joseline is really a JOSE. Joseline chatted with blogger Jasmine Brand about how she feels about the sexuality rumors, pregnancy, how she met Stevie J, and more. On the sexuality rumors:

I’m starting to take it as a compliment because they say only that men that turn into women are perfect. And I am perfect. I have a perfect face. I have the perfect body. I have the perfect everything – I don’t have a flaw on me. I really started noticing I’m 100% woman… It’s really like, I can’t even begin… I’ve never even heard that before. I have men give me everything I’ve ever wanted, and I’ve never had a problem with people looking at me that type of way. It’s crazy to me. Do you not see all this greatness? I don’t understand, I’m confused. I’m beautiful and a lot of women would pay thousands and thousands and thousands of dollars to look like me. You know, I work out a lot.. take care of my body and I love how I look. And hey whoever don’t like it, they can stop looking! But I know they not, cause they love it too. There’s been a ton of speculation surrounding your sexuality. How do you feel about that?

On how she met Stevie J:

I met him at the strip club through another friend, another guy we both know; but then from there I met him at the studio a second time, but originally it was at the strip club.

This has to be EVERY WOMAN'S little piece of heaven on earth. On the BET Awards red carpet, Tyrese said:

Tank added:

We were able to put away egos and put away anything that didn't make sense. Atlantic Records, they're going to do the right thing for us.

It's about time!!!! Will definitely have my ears & eyes open for all the deets about this project.

BET AWARDS 2012: PICS + VIDEOS

noreply@blogger.com (AllureRadioDIVA) — Mon, 02 Jul 2012 14:56:00 +0000

The 2012 BET Awards (hosted by Samuel L. Jackson) went down last night in LA and the stars came out to be a part of the action. For starters, much respect goes to Cissy Houston who sang "Bridge Over Troubled Waters" in tribute to her daughter, the late Whitney Houston. I don't think there was a dry eye in the building. She even brought Soulja Boy to tears. *sigh*. Mariah Carey made a great speech before the Whitney tribute went underway but I'm just sooooo glad she DID NOT sing. (I know, that's rude but I'm just saying). Anywhoo, Chris Brown of course took the crown for best performance. Melanie Fiona did her thing as well. And Usher. And Big Sean..And Kanye. Oh yeah, and D'Angleo made his first televised performance in over 12 years. Kanye tried to give a civilized, politically correct acceptance speech...Kim K was of course in the audience to support her ~~boo thang~~good friend...But of course, Jay Z. & Bey were the power couple of the night. Brandy & Monica both sang in the Whitney tribute and killed it. Let's see, what else did I miss....Ummmm, yeah, I can't remember. Those were the highlights for me. This awards wasn't as good as past years but still pretty entertaining. Not to mention it seemed to be NEVER ENDING!! (If you watched the pre-show and the after-show, you were probably stuck on BET for over 6 hours!!) Check out photos and videos after the jump.

MIAMI ZOMBIE UPDATE: WAS MARYJANE THE CAUSE??

noreply@blogger.com (AllureRadioDIVA) — Thu, 28 Jun 2012 21:15:00 +0000

So remember the guy who ate the man's face off last month [CLICK HERE IF YOUR DON'T]?!?! The final toxicology results on Rudy Eugene's body came in and according to the Miami-Dade Medical Examiner only traces of marijuana came up in his blood. So did that GREEN make him exhibit zombie like behavior?!?! According to experts NO. (I'm sure some of you just let out a sigh of relief..LOL)

They are still leaning towards the bath-salts like substance but say laboratories may not be equipped to detect it yet. An outside laboratory was brought in to help check for synthetic substances. MDPV, the active ingredient in many forms of bath salts, was not found. Five other chemicals commonly found in bath salts were also absent. Experts told discovery news there's no way that marijuana is to blame for the attack. Dr. Bruce Goldberger, professor and director of toxicology at the Univeristy of Florida, said that although a significant amount of research has found a link between marijuana use and the onset of schizophrenia or psychosis in at-risk individuals, this isn't what happened to Eugene.

This behavior exhibited by Eugene is well beyond the scope of someone suffering from acute psychosis.

With this being said, it's still a mystery as to what caused ole Rudy Eugene to bite Ronald Poppo's face off. Oh yeah, after the jump, see a couple photos after Poppo underwent his first reconstructive surgery.

Tony Parker Files $20 Million Lawsuit For Injuries During Drake and Chris Brown Fight!!

noreply@blogger.com (AllureRadioDIVA) — Fri, 22 Jun 2012 11:02:00 +0000

San Antonio Spurs player, Tony Parker allegedly filed a 20$ Million lawsuit against W.I.P Club for injuries sustained during the Drake and Chris Brown Fight.

According to The New York Post, Parker filed the lawsuit in Manhattan Supreme Court for injuries to his eye. He claimed her suffered a "corneal laceration of the eye and other injuries" that occurred during the fight. His lawyer, David Jaroslawicz, admits the extent of his injuries are unknown.

Allegedly the suit is proclaiming that the fight was club W.I.P's fault from the begining because they "let Chris and Drake to be in the same room".

"The defendants were reckless, careless and negligent in permitting Drake’s entourage and Brown’s entourage to be in the club at the same time despite known tension between the two" is what the suit says.

*Ques sad violin to start playing*

Parker refered to Brown as a "friend" however, he stated that he arrived with neither of the parties that were involved in the altercation.

When he arrived in Paris, Parker told the media that he is now wearing "therapeutic" contact lenses and will be sitting on the sidelines for a whole week.

Awww Boooo- Hoooo *Hands Parker A Tissue*

MEAGAN GOOD & DEVON FRANKLIN TIE THE KNOT!

noreply@blogger.com (AllureRadioDIVA) — Mon, 18 Jun 2012 09:15:00 +0000

Meagan Good & her Preacher/Columbia Pictures VP fiance, DeVon Franklin, tied the knot over the weekend in Malibu, California! The Spanish, bayou-themed wedding celebration was attended by 400 of the couples friends including Tracey Edmonds, Derek Luke, Deion Sanders and Tasha Smith. Wearing jewels by Beverly Hills's Jason the Jeweler and in a custom R-Mine gown with a purple dipped train, Good walked down the aisle to "These Arms," performed by Jeffrey Lewis of the Craig Lewis Band. At the reception, Shanice sang "Loving You" and guests ate a Southern Girl Desserts cake with flavors ranging from sweet potato, banana cream pie, and peach cobbler. The couple's first travel destination will be Big Sur for a mini-moon. They plan to honeymoon around the holidays when Good wraps filming on her NBC show Infamous. For more deets and a couple photos, read on!

Meagan Good stated the following:

DeVon makes me better, makes my life fuller, and completes my quality of life. He's truly on my team and I am truly on his. God revealed my heart to him like nobody else.

Franklin added,

I've never had more peace, fun, and joy than I've had with her.

If you remember, the couple vowed to remain celibate until they became husband and wife so I'm sure they had a looooooooooogggg night. (LOL) They do have plans on starting a family right away and plan to travel to "get to know each other as husband and wife" added Franklin.

OMG, I'm so elated for these two. Really seems like a fairytale for them both. Well wishes!!
