KOBE AND WIFE VANESSA DIVORCE

On Friday, Vanessa Bryant (wife of Kobe Bryant) filed for divorce after 10 1/2 years of marriage citing "irreconcilable differences". Kobe's infidelity first took it's big hit back in 2003 where a Colorado woman accused him of sexually assaulting her. Through that ordeal and press conference, Vanessa stood by his side through a public apology that came in the form of a $4 million ring.

Being that Kobe is a superstar, it's inevitable that he has been cheating on his wife which therefore built up Vanessa's endless suspicions. Coming from a female's point of view, I know for a fact that a woman's intuition never fails. Even though it's one of the worst feelings to experience, it's better to know than not.

Sources say, "She's been dealing with these incidents for a long time and has been a faithful wife, but she's finally had enough. This one is the straw that broke the camel's back." Another source claims that Kobe is desperately trying to do whatever it takes to save their marriage.


Vanessa signed the divorce petition the beginning of this month on December 1st, and Kobe signed his response December 7th. According to docs, Vanessa is asking for joint custody of their two daughters with Kobe having visitation rights as well as spousal support. Within the marriage, there is also no pre-nup involved, so Vanessa is entitled to have half of Kobe's empire. Now that the divorce is going underway with Vanessa being represented by celeb reps Laura Wasser and Samantha Klein, what will now happen to the great NBA player that many people looked up to? Will he be affected? I guess we have to wait and see...

Btw did anyone see Metta World Peace's comment about the divorce? His status on FB said,"Kobe's gettin divorced.. Kim Kardashian is paying attention." BURN.

KHLOE KARDASHIAN STICKS TO HUBBY ODOM IN DALLAS

Now the official start to the NBA season is drawing nearer, so much gossip were surrounding the trades that kept people talking. The team that obviously topped the list were none other than the Los Angeles Lakers. First talks were supposedly Chris Paul to the Lakers, trading Pau Gasol to Houston Rockets and Lamar Odom to New Orleans Hornets. Then out of nowhere Lamar Odom gets traded to Dallas Mavericks and Chris Paul ends up going to the Clippers instead.

Now the talk came which made headlines is if Khloe Kardashian would move to Dallas for her hubby Odom. We've seen with his sister Kim, that that wasn't the case. Kim made it very clear that she would never move to Minnesota for her husband because she truly values her career as a ... hmmm I don't know, I guess "celebrity". To give Kim a benefit of the doubt though, Khloe had it easy since Lamar was in the Lakers. No need to move and completely change her lifestyle such as the circumstances Kim was faced with.

Now that Lamar is in Dallas, Khloe holds true to her marriage by moving there with him. First she tweeted, "We are all sad, but positive energy gets you farther than negative ... I am sure I will love it but I am a tad thrown off ... I am excited :) I know this is for a reason." But now as Dallas is playing against Oklahoma during a preseason game she is there, like she always is at every home game. I think it's becoming apparent that marriage is truly important to her saying how effort is key to her two year and counting marriage to Odom.

"I make my relationship my priority. I make sure I go to every home game; that means a lot to him and it means a lot to me. I just make sure I cook him dinner at least twice a week. I just have to make sure that's my priority, and you just have to make it. If you both want to make it work, you will."

Maybe sister Kim should take some notes...

LaLa Vasquez's Look At The Lakers Game-- Hot Or Not??

LaLa with Spike Lee

I'm thinking that LaLa's look is BORDERLINE.

There are a lot of great pieces; they just aren't executed together properly. LaLa's blazer was by 3.1 Philip Lim for $695, A Pleasure Doing Business bustier (that's a real hott JAIDEN's PICK) that can be incorporated into a summer LOOKBOOK, and the SHOW-STEALER: LaLa's Nicholas Kirkwood Lace-Up Sandals for nearly $1,200!

Her look could have been done right if she kept the shoes, but wore an off-white 3.1 Philip Lim blazer to go with the bustier, and some wax black jeans to separate the whites on top and bottom.

Is my suggestion WAYYYY BETTER???

KOBE BRYANT BOUNCES BACK FROM GAY SLUR OUTBURST

Last Friday during the Lakers game against the Spurs, the Lakers who haven't been exactly ending their season on a good note, were playing another disappointing game. Kobe Bryant, the main player on the team was obviously frustrated and after being called for a technical, called the ref a "f(bleep)in fa(bleeeeppp)ot" This gay slur caught on tape and repeatedly replayed for everyone to see caused a huge controversy especially to the gay community.

After an apology and $100,000 later, Kobe Bryant is turning this hurdle as another obstacle to overcome. The Lakers have teamed up with NBA Executives and GLAAD to help fight homophobia in basketball. Lakers spokesman John Black spoke, "We appreciate the input we've received from GLAAD the past two days and will look forward to working with them on ways to help educate ourselves and our fans, and to help keep language like this out of our game."

Kobe is hoping to meet with gay groups to turn this negative outburst "into a positive and raise as much awareness as we can to say that it is not OK to...insult and disrespect." Speaking with President Joe Solmonese of the Human Rights Campaign, a gay lobbying group, affirmed that Kobe was very solemn in his discussion with him. "We had a very sincere conversation in which he expressed his heartfelt regret for the hurt that his words cause," Solmonese said in a statement. He told me that it's never OK to degrade or tease, and that he understands how his words could unfortunately give the wrong impression that this is appropriate conduct."

GLAAD most recently worked with the New York Yankees and World Wrestling Entertainment to also fight homophobia in sports, especially those which are male dominated.
