American Idol Ruben Studdard and his fiancee Surata McCants:

Studdard, 29, arrived at the Shelby County Probate Office in Birmingham with fiancée Surata Zuri McCants, 30, just before noon, filled out the paperwork and walked away with their license, an eyewitness says. Studdard is a Birmingham native. “They looked really happy,” says the eyewitness.

Apparently, in Alabama, a marriage license is valid for 30 days. So it’s safe to assume they’re about to get hitched any day now. We wish ‘em the best.

Shaq put Kobe Bryant on blast in a recent freestyle:

Shaquille O’Neal took the mic at a NYC club last night, unleashing a freestyle verbal assault directed at his arch-enemy Kobe Bryant — blaming his former teammate for ruining his marriage and imploring him to “Tell me how my ass tastes.”

After spending several verses shredding Kobe apart for losing in the NBA playoffs, Shaq drops the line, “I’m a horse, Kobe ratted me out, that’s why I’m getting divorced.”

The line most likely references a comment Kobe made during his infamous 2003 rape case, when he told Colorado police that he “Should have done what Shaq does … Shaq would pay his women not to say anything.” The two became famously bitter rivals after the incident.

There’s another serving of beef for you today. We wonder what Kobe’s ass has to say to this one.

Update – Shaq takes it back. Continue »

Talk show d**khead supreme Don Imus is up to his usual tricks again. Check out this exchange between ignorant Imus and one of the on air flunkies as they talk about NFL star Pacman Jones.

Wolf: “Defensive back Adam ‘Pacman’ Jones, recently signed by the Cowboys. Here’s a guy suspended all of 2007 following a shooting in a Vegas night club.”

Imus: “Well, stuff happens. You’re in a night club, for God’s sake. What do you think’s gonna happen in a night club? People are drinking and doing drugs, there are women there, and people have guns. So, there, go ahead.”

Wolf: “He’s also been arrested six times since being drafted by Tennessee in 2005.”

Imus:”What color is he?”

Wolf:”He’s African-American.”

Imus: “Well, there you go. Now we know.”

Spoken like a true jackass. No one was buying that fake apology from this dried up bigot in the first place. He was, is, and will always be a racist fool. It’s time for Imus to get booted of the airwaves for good.

Nate Dogg was arrested this morning for trying to run his ex wife off the 405 in L.A.:

“Cops [have reported that] a woman who said she was Nate’s estranged wife called into 911 freaking out as she was driving, claiming Nate was making death threats against her and ‘dangerously’ following her as she drove down the road. The CHP stopped them both, and after interviewing both parties, arrested him for making terrorist threats and driving on a suspended license.”

This triflin ass character is on probation and he’s still getting in trouble. Word is, he’s currently being booked into the medical ward of the Twin Towers jail in L.A.

Melanie Brown needed wheelchair assistance while getting off of her flight in L.A.:

“Helped presumably by a member of LAX staff, the former Spice Girl cuddled baby daughter Angel and despite feeling off-colour, gave fans a big smile. Accompanied by film producer husband Stephen Belafonte, mum-of-two Mel then had to be supported as she stepped from the wheelchair to the limousine, clutching her stomach.”

Poor Chile. Hopefully it’s nothing serious. The sooner she can get back to the studio and complete that dedication track to ole Eddie, the better.
