Delonte West Denies Having A Sexual Relationship With The Mother Of Lebron James (Video)
July 4, 2011
The people over at Terez Owens caught up with Lebron James’s former teammate Delonte West & asked him the question that everyone had wanted to know from his own mouth. After all the rumors spread of Delonte West having a sexual relationship with Lebron James’ mother Gloria James, a random fan approaches him with a camera with the million dollar question & Delonte denies it. Personally I think he’s lying by his mannerisms & body movement. 80% of all communication is non-verbal & he doesn’t appear to be that forthcoming when pressed. I guess what else is he gonna say when a camera is pushed in his face.

Scarface Still In Jail, Owes Owes Over $123,000 In Child Support
July 3, 2011
Scarface has been incarcerated since October 2010 for failure to pay child support & reportedly owes over $123,000. According to XXL magazine, the hip hop legend has spent his Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Years, & will now spend his July 4th weekend in the Harris County Jail in Texas for four separate child support cases.
According to police documents obtained by XXLmag.com, bonds have been set on all four cases—one for $93,376, a second one for $50,000, another for $30,000 and the last one was set at $500.
As of this time it is unclear how much longer the former Geto Boys frontman is expected to spend behind bars, but a media relations rep for Harris County’s 7th precinct states that ‘Face will be held until these women accusing him of not paying child support are compensated to some capacity.
