Busted Harvard Prof Drops 'Yo Mama' Joke on Cop

Busted Harvard Prof Drops 'Yo Mama' Joke on Cop Even the nation's pre-eminent African-American scholar isn't afraid to bust a yo' mama joke -- especially when he's getting busted by cops.

Cambridge police arrested Harvard Professor Henry Louis Gates, Jr. for disorderly conduct last Thursday night. Gates was going into his house when police responded to a call that two black males were breaking in.

According to the police report, 58-year old Gates got into it pretty good with Sgt. Crowley, and that's when ...

"As I began walking through the foyer toward the front door, I could hear Gates again demanding my name. I again told Gates that I would speak with him outside. His reply was "ya, I'll speak with your mama outside."

As you can imagine, the argument got more heated after that and Gates was taken into custody.

Professor -- everyone knows it's "yo' mama." Not "your mama."

Could It Be? Nia Long and Reggie Bush?

Posted Aug 8th 2006 6:06PM by TMZ Staff

Nia Long and Reggie Bush Jennifer, we thought this was a rumor we would be able to put to rest. Sources close to Nia told TMZ she and football phenom Reggie Bush, who has recently signed with the New Orleans Saints, are not seeing each other. They took a picture together at a party and speculation flew from that point on.

The plot thickens, however, as a TMZ source identified Reggie as the unknown man who Nia was with last month at an LA mall when a fight broke out between the running back and Long's ex, Massai Z. Dorsey. So now who knows what's true!

To catch up on the original story, take a look at this!

Since "The 70's Show" has ended, does Wilmer Valderrama have anything lined up for the up and coming season?

And as if that wasn't enough, he is also filming the second season of MTV's "Yo Momma." Here, kids from the neighborhood battle it out with one anotherm telling "yo mamma" jokes in hopes of winning not only the respect, but "$1000 cash money."
