Oscar Getting Sued

That stripper who sold those pictures of Oscar de la Hoya dressed in drag is suing him. Milana Dravnel is filing the papers in Manhattan state Supreme Court against de la Hoya and two unnamed defendants for alleged fraud, defamation, interference with contract, infliction of emotional distress and undue influence, her lawyer said. "[They] did everything [they] could to thwart her being able to sell this, saying they weren't real, photo-shopped, and that she didn't know what she was doing . . . that she was just a stripper," said her high-powered attorney Salvatore Strazullo. He says people in de la Hoya's camp contacted his client and threatened her to keep silent and keep the damaging photographs to herself. "There were so many people involved. Phone calls from people saying they were FBI agents or speaking on behalf of FBI agents. They did everything," Strazullo said. "It's the perfect case of David against Goliath and she got Goliath Junior on their case." When the pictures emerged publicly in September, Dravnel sold them for $70,000 to a West Coast photo agency. De la Hoya's camp denied they were real and insisted they had been doctored.

AWOL

Ok, so yesterday I read that NY Knicks coah Isiah Thomas and Madison Square Garden chairman Thomas Dolan were trying to decide whether or not to cut Stephon Murbury's playing time. I guess Stephon heard about it the same time I did because they say he was on the Knicks charter plane to a Phoenix Suns game when he found out he wasn't starting and stormed to the front of the plane to have a word with Isiah. Who knows what they said to one another, but witnesses claim Stephon came back in a huff telling teammates, "Isiah has to start me. I've got so much on Isiah and he knows it. He thinks he can mess with me. But I'll mess with him first. You have no idea what I know." Once the plane landed in Phoenix, Stephon took the next flight back to NY, skipping the game.

Dr. Jan Adams Not Board Certified

Dr. Jan Adams, the doctor who performed Dr. Donda West's tummy tuck and breast reduction, is not certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery and he's been arrested for several DUIs. They say it took Dr. Adams 8 hours to perform Kanye's mama surgery when it only should have taken 4, an early indication that something had gone horribly wrong. But instead of sending Donda West to a recovery center, Dr. Adams sent her home. And although 911 was called, they say Kanye's mama was dead by the time the paramedics arrived. Dr. Adams, who's made appearances on Oprah Winfrey and the Discovery Channel's "Plastic Surgery: Before and After", says Donda West may have died from heart attack, pulmonary embolism or massive vomiting but maintains he's done nothing wrong.

Old Dirty Day

Call your local radio station and request some Old Dirty Bastard in celebration of Old Dirty Bastard day. 3 three years ago today Old Dirty collasped in the studio and died from an accidental overdose of prescription drugs and cocaine. Who all remember the time ODB bum rushed the stage at the MTV awards and announced that Wu Tang was for the children? or how he let the tv cameras follow him to the welfare office in a limo with his 13 kids in tow to pick up their food stamps? or that time he got caught stealing a $50 pair of sneakers out of Foot Locker? Dirt Dog was a true orignal, from his off beat, but somehow strangely on beat, often unitelligible lyrics to his wild off stage antics, Hip Hop's clown prince is sorely missed.
