Isiah Feels Betrayed
Isiah Thomas is pissed off at Magic Johnson because in Magic's new book, he blasts Isiah for going around asking if he was gay after Magic was diagnoised with HIV. Magic writes, "How can a so-called friend question your sexuality like that? I know why he did it, because we used to kiss before games, and now if people were wondering about me, that meant they were wondering about him, too."
Asked to respond Isiah Thomas said, "I wish he would have had the courage to say this stuff to me face to face, as opposed to writing it in some damn book to sell and he can make money off it."

As Expected
Lil Wayne pled guilty to gun charges in a New York city today and is expected to be sentenced to one year in prison come February. Wayne's Arizona drug possession trial is set to begin in March 2010.
Reggie Miller Files a Restraining Order
Remember when Diane von Furstenberg's adult son rented an airplane and flew a message across the sky ordering Reggie Miller to stop messing with his girlfriend [click here if you missed that]? Apparently those two are still beefing because Reggie just filed a restraining order against the dude. Last Sunday Reggie and a gal pal were picking up carry-out from a restaurant in Malibu when von Furstenbaby pulled up beside Reggie's car and started hurling obscenities. When Reggie tried to pull off, von Furstencrazy blocked Reggie's car, jumped out and challenged him to a fight. When Reggie's companion returned to the car with the food, they tried to pull off only to have von Furstenlooney follow them down the street, cut them off and again challenge Reggie to fight. And to make matters worse, von Furstenfool had kids in his car the whole time.
This is not going to end well.
Tichina's Dilemma
Tichina Arnold writes a blog on Essence.com called Tales of a Hollywood Mom. Here's an excerpt from her latest entry:
Tonight, for 20 minutes, I had to listen to Alijah cry herself to sleep to the chant of "I want my daddy!" These are the nights that I wish never existed, but unfortunately do! It's the challenging and heartbreaking side of single mommyhood.
I'm getting sick of hearing MYSELF give her the same reply, "Ok baby, but daddy is not here, we will call him tomorrow. Now go to sleep". I can see her little wheels in her head just turning as if she's about to say: "You say that all the time; she has not said it yet but she is starting to figure out that (for now) daddy is NEVER going to be there when she wants or cries for him.
It's just another single mommy issue that I have to deal with "head on" when the time comes...and it's coming faster than I expected.
I'm realizing that unfortunately in due time...SHE'S going to have to face the reality that her dad is just not as available as she might like for him to be.
One of my first embarrassing wake up calls to being a single mom, was when I picked Alijah up from Pre-School one day, and the teacher said that Alijah held on to the leg of ANOTHER students dad and said "I want you to be my daddy!".

They Say
Lil Wayne will accept a plea deal on gun charges in New York in exchange for 8 months in jail. They say had he chosen to go to trial he could have gotten up to 15 years. And after that's settled, it's off to Arizona to face drug charges.
Ludacris is Being Sued
by his lawyers. Seems Luda stopped paying his legal fees in the middle of a personal negligence case filed against him, his foundation and his mother [his mama? for real?] in 2007. His lawyers continued to rep Ludacris through 2008 and 2009, but have been reduced to filing their own suit against the rapper after he stopped paying them. They are seeking $61,820 in unpaid legal fees.
