![Whitney Houston -- Prescription Drugs Found ... Possible Drowning [Exclusive Photo Update]](http://ll-media.tmz.com/2012/02/12/0211-hero-whitney2-248x127.jpg)
Actor Louis Gossett, Jr. is being slammed for allegedly not paying for a pair of $37,000 Lakers tickets, and now the brass behind the basketball team is crying foul.
In a lawsuit filed recently in Los Angeles Superior Court, the former "Iron Eagle" is accused of signing a 2003 contract for a pair of exclusive Premier Seats at Staples Center -- home to the Los Angeles Lakers, Clippers and the NHL's L.A. Kings -- but never forking over the dough. The tickets, located close to the floor, are good for nearly any sporting event at the arena -- for two years!
Now, L.A. Arena Funding, the company that handles ticket sales for Staples Center events, is asking for $38,850 in damages. To put things in perspective -- that's less than 1% of what Kobe Bryant made this year (endorsements not included).
Reps for Gossett had no comment.

Some of you are such dumb asses. It said the tickets were good for almost any event at the Staples Center for two years. That means they were like season tickets and he got to go to everything. It wasn't just for one game. Duh!!!

Hey let's vote for #16. Bill you have the right idea. Why does EVERYTHING DAMN THING have to be about race? It's not, so let's try making a point without referring to a person's race. The whole damn race cannot be held accountable for one person. geesh
Hey, Mr.Whitey White, what makes you think that those who post here are all white?
I'm not white and my comment is: Did the folks at Staples Center not realize he was a crackhead when they fronted him the tickets?
