Don King Selling His Beach Front Compound

Don King put his oceanfront estate in Manalapan, FL up for sale, saying that at age 77, it's time to downsize. The compound sits on 3 acres and includes a main and guest house spread out over 32,000 square feet. The property comes with an 8ft replica of the Statue of Liberty in the front yard, 11 bedrooms and 17 bathrooms, 300 feet of waterfront on both sides and two resort-style pools, each with enough space for up to 80 people. There’s a 10-foot drop to the beach with automatic stairs that let down when you’re on the sand, and lift back up when you’re at the house so that no one can come up from the ocean plus, it has a generator plant for hurricanes. There's also an outdoor grill by one of the pools big enough for 100 slabs of ribs. King paid 13 million for the two lots in 1999 and is now asking for 27 million.

Pac Man Kicked Off The Team

This may be the final nail in the coffin of Adam 'Pac Man' Jones' football career. Remember last June when Pac was involved in that Atlanta strip club shooting [not to be confused with the Las Vegas strip club shooting he was mixed up in]? Well, that particular skirmish has come back to haunt him. ESPN is doing a whole segment on the incident and his team, The Dallas Cowboys, decided enough is enough and cut his ass loose.

Ne-Yo Has Something To Tell You

So he took to his MySpace blog to air you haters out.
One rule of being a gentleman is to keep your cool and composure at all cost, but right about now I gotta loosen up this tie and take off this expensive suit jacket and talk to the people for a minute. The haters especially.Pardon my french, but what the fuck is wrong with y’all!?! Are you so desperate for an R&B bad guy that you gotta find a way to create one in me?? Okay, the comment about light skinned babies…….an obvious joke, maybe not a good joke, but clearly a joke.Y’all REALLY took that serious!?!I understand that a hater’s job is to hate, clearly. But it’s when people start feeding in to what a hater is saying that something must be addressed. The wholegay thing. For goodness sake it’s been 4 years!!!! Y’all still on that huh? The whole “boys” song, and the song “go over there”. See this is what happens when people steal. These songs were clearly written for women. Had you been patient, you would have heard them the way they were supposed to be heard, with the voice of the intended artist on em’. But noooo, someone gets a hold of these demos and suddenly everybody forgets that I write songs for women. Riiight. I tell People Magazine thatYoung Jeezy’s crib is right next to mine and that once I saw him in there from across the way. I then make a JOKE about him maybe not wanting to walk around naked in his crib with the shades up cause the buildings are THAT close to each other, and that AIN’T something I care to see. Suddenly, everybody thinks I said I saw Young Jeezy in his crib naked when, NEVER ONCE did I say anything like that. I mean come on people.Is this really what you’re gonna spend time on??Will you not be satisfied until I truly become this asshole you so desperately want me to look like??Here’s my stand on the whole thing:I’m NOT gay, I’m NOT prejudice to anyone, I DID NOT get stomped out by Jim Jones or anyone else, I’m NOT engaged, I’M NOT STUPID.And to anyone that INSISTS on thinking that any of these things are true……FUCK YOU.To the haters….find some new material please!!! It’s 2009, our president is black!!! Time for change.To everyone else……I love you to death, thanx for all your support.WE PLATINUM ROUND HERE!!!!!Much love, and see you at the grammy’s.Checkthe suit…..it’s gonna be TROUBLE!!!

New Lawsuit For Dwyane Wade

Remember when NBA All-Star Dwyane Wade closed his namesake restaurant chain before it even opened and filed a lawsuit against his partners for mis-management? Well D Wade's ex-partners have filed another suit against him, in addition to the suit they've already filed claiming Wade never promoted the restaurant. The partners are now claiming D Wade refused to show up at any of the openings because the partners would not re-negotiate their original contact. After signing the deal, D Wade decided he wanted 30% of the business instead of the 10% he agreed to and he also wanted them to hire his father at $50,000.00 a year and one of his childhood friends at $75,000.00 a year per restaurant [they'd planned to open 30 of them]. When the partners balked, Dwyane stopped cooperating. A source familiar with the case said: “They actually tried to have the partners sign a new contract that was unacceptable. Dwyane tried to have us pay his dad to do nothing.” And if they didn’t renegotiate? According to the lawsuit, Wade's lawyers told the partner's lawyer's: “You can either have a happy Dwyane, or an unhappy Dwyane!”
When contacted by a Miami newspaper, Wade's people said, “We would’ve helped with anything they wanted. I was going to be Dwyane’s eyes and ears in the restaurants. They were real jobs. Plus, they initiated everything and now they turn it around. They’re trying to make Dwyane look like the bad guy who’s shaking them down. That’s not the truth.”

I Ain't Saying She's A Gold Digger

OK all you 'Real Housewives of Atlanta' fans, if you recall, the super snotty faux designer Sheree Whitfield was not at all happy with the divorce settlement she got from her husband, former NFL player Bob Whitfield. The settlement consisted of a lump sum of $775,000.00, which she received in 2007, shares of Bob’s retirement pension, half the marital property and $2,142.87 a month in child support. Sheree currently receives $113,422 a year from Bob, who was not that great of a player, according to Wikipedia. Anyway, throughout the Bravo reality series, Sheree, who bragged about never having to shop on a budget, went on and on about how she was out to wrangle a 7 figure settlement out of Bob. Well, this coming Monday ReRe is taking her plea all the way to the Georgia Supreme Court, and guess why she thinks she's entitled to over a million dollars after only 3 years [and 2 kids] of marriage [well technically Bob and Sheree were married for 7 years but they separated after 3]? Her low level education. Sheree's lawyer says because Sheree only has a high school diploma there is no way she can get a job making the kind of money she requires to maintain the style of living she's accustomed to.
