Charles Barkley is looking to run for office in the near future according to a report by Livesteez:

Our sources tell us, that former NBA star Charles Barkley is considering a run for governor. The TNT sports analyst was pretty clear about his intentions and plans if elected as Alabama’s chief of state, in a recent interview. “I plan on it in 2014. … I can’t screw up Alabama.” he said. “We are number 48 in everything, and Arkansas and Mississippi aren’t going anywhere,” he tells BET.com, adding that with him at the helm of the state, “there would be no place to go but up.” He noted that his top priority would be education. “All the way education … the public school system in this country is the worst it has ever been and what that does is [that hurts] crime, it hurts the judicial system,” Barkley said. The Alabama native goes on to say: “You know if you don’t give people education and hope, they become criminals. They get involved in drugs. So we have got to fix the public school system. I think we need to make these neighborhoods safer. And the third thing, you have got to give people economic opportunity. America for far too long has a small group of people who have got all the money and then we got a bunch of poor people who have no money. And because we have killed the public school system they can’t get the education to make money, and that is just not right.”

When it comes to racial issues and progression, Alabama has traditionally been one of the slower states to arrive at the party. Well, they had better tidy up because it sounds like the party’s coming to them! GO CHUCK.

According to the UK Sun and US Weekly, Madonna and Guy Ritchie are coming out with a statement that they are finally divorcing:

Madonna and Guy Ritchie are about to announce they’re divorcing, British newspapers report.

Citing unnamed sources, The Sun reports the couple want a divorce finalized by Christmas.

Madonna, 50, and Ritchie, 40, who’ve been married for eight years, “can’t bear to live with the pretense any longer,” a source told The Sun.

“It’s very sad. They were a great couple and brilliant parents. They just couldn’t live together.”Despite huge attempts to patch things up, they both knew deep down that divorce was in the cards. It wasn’t a matter of ‘if’ but ‘when.’ They tried hard over the past few months, but their fighting was getting out of control.

“The final straw came before Madonna started her US tour.”

What took so long? Madonna is used goods and seems uber-selfish, he should have been traded that in. You know you’ve been around when Charles Barkley, A Rod, Jose Conseco, and Dennis Rodman chopped you down.

Possibly Jacko and Tupac too. SMH.

The recent list of ‘celebrity’ Obama endorsers includes Superhead:

There are some endorsements Barack Obama could probably do without. The new issue of Vibe lists 99 hip-hop artists, athletes and professors who are backing the Democratic nominee – including Karrine Steffans, the author of “Confessions of a Video Vixen,” whose claim to fame is how many rappers she serviced, earning her the nickname Supahead. The list also includes Spike Lee, Fat Joe, Lil’ Kim, Charles Barkley and Kim Kardashian, who admits she has never voted.

Damn, even a ho ballot counts in the voting process, so we’re not knocking Superhead on this one. However, she better not go anywhere near Barack since we’re pretty damn sure she’d like to do a lot more for him than just putting a check by his name. SMH.

It is being reported that the Wynn Casino in Vegas is going after Charles Barkley with a lawsuit for $400,000 in unpaid gambling debts. They allow some people to gamble on credit. This is what Barkley previously said about his gambling addiction:

Barkley has made no secret of his gambling over the years. He estimated during a May 2006 interview with ESPN that he’d gambled away about $10 million over the years. “Do I have a gambling problem? Yeah, I do have a gambling problem,” Barkley said. “But I don’t consider it a problem because I can afford to gamble.”

He said he never bet on basketball, and only bet in casinos. He called it a bad habit, but said he intended to continue.

Sounds like someone needs to seek some professional help. Poor thang.

Charles Barkley mentions that he does not want support from “Messy Jesse” or “Permed Up Al” when he runs for governor of Alabama:

“I don’t believe in them. They always play the race card, and you can’t always play the race card. Sometimes the race card is needed but not in every situation. We have to hold blacks more accountable for their actions.”

Via NY Post Page Six:

NBA great Michael Jordan hit town last week and played the role of ultimate wingman for friends like Derek Jeter and Patrick Ewing. First, Jordan had a dinner at Tao with Ewing and Charles Oakley, where the trio rang up a tab upward of $1,000 and tipped 40 percent. When the players headed out, spies said, Jordan tried to convince a few women to join them at Pink Elephant, where he was meeting Jeter. One source said, “Jordan was really trying to get this girl to leave with him, and the girl responded, ‘Aren’t you married?’ ” Another source confirmed that Jordan was trying to grab a few girls – but only for his single friends.

After freaking Charles Barkley’s backside in a Las Vegas club last year and hanging around suspect Charles Oakley and Derek Jeter, at least he tried to get with some girls. MJ was always a trailblazer in the NBA with his choice of large earrings. After threatening divorce, how long will Juanita lean back on the cheating and Kim Porter Michael Jordan? MJ’s rumored appetite for blondes will probably never retire.
