DeAndre Hopkins Leaves Texans Practice Over Owner's 'Inmates' Comments

Published | Updated

Houston Texans superstar WR DeAndre Hopkins walked out of Texans practice Friday because he was so pissed off at team owner Bob McNair for comparing kneeling players to prison inmates.

Hopkins is the 2nd biggest star on the team behind J.J. Watt -- and according to ESPN's Adam Schefter, he was extremely offended by the comments McNair made at a recent NFL owner's meeting.

The comments: "Can't have the inmates running the prison." McNair has apologized but it's clearly not sitting well with Texans players.

Schefter says Hopkins did not practice and left the facility. ESPN is also reporting other Texans players wanted to boycott practice and needed to be convinced to stay.

Aside from the comments, McNair is also a huge Trump supporter, donating more than $4.5 million to his campaign, more than any other NFL owner. Trump has trashed protesting players and called for them to be suspended.

Mary J. Blige to Ex Give Me $6 Mil and We'll Call It Even

Published | Updated

Mary J. Blige and her estranged husband, Martin Isaacs, are DEEP in debt, but she's willing to let him off the hook for the low, low price of $6 million.

Mary says, in new docs, their community estate is worth negative $11,622,614 ... most of which is money owed to the IRS. Mary's proposing a solution, which is for Martin to pay her $5,990,357. She says that would make good on his half of the debt.

According to the docs, Mary also maintains she shouldn't have to pay Martin spousal support. As she puts it ... she's bearing the burden of their debt, while he is totally unwilling to do anything to support himself.

Translation: get a job, buddy.

The place looks AWESOME -- with 5 bedrooms, 7 baths, incredible view, dope backyard with a pool -- but still no tennis court.

Tiger Woods Pleads Guilty at DUI Hearing

ACCEPTING THE PLEA

Tiger Woods was calm, cool and collected in court, even cracking a smile on his way out after pleading guilty at his DUI hearing in Florida.

The golf legend agreed to enter a DUI diversion program at a hearing that lasted about 10 minutes. He'll also be on probation for 12 months and he must perform 50 hours of community service. The judge was adamant -- the deal means no jail time but he could face up to 90 days in jail if he's found to violate parole.

Tiger was arrested for DUI on May 29 in Jupiter, FL after cops found him asleep at the wheel of his 2015 Mercedes. Once he awoke, Tiger was a discombobulated mess and claimed he was all jacked up from a cocktail of Rx drugs.

Tiger's car had damage and it was clear he was in no shape to be behind the wheel of a car. He was initially charged with 3 misdemeanor counts -- DUI, reckless driving and improper stopping.

If Tiger completes his DUI diversion program, DUI education classes and stays out of trouble for 12 months ... the reckless driving conviction will be wiped from his record.

As part of the diversion program, Tiger is prohibited from drinking alcohol or taking drugs during the probation period.

Tiger has since apologized for the arrest -- saying he didn't know his prescription meds would have such a strong reaction. He also went to rehab.

Cardi B Sued Album Cover Model Says You Used Me & My Tattoos!!!

Published | Updated

The guy going down on Cardi B on her mixtape cover is pissed off because he claims he never posed for the photo, and never signed off on his image being used in such a sexual manner.

Cardi's "Gangsta Bitch Music Vol. 1" cover shows a shirtless guy, with very distinct back ink, performing oral sex on the rapper. Kevin Brophy says the image is 100% him, but he only found out about it when a friend said how crazy is it that you're "cunnilinging [sic] this rapper called Cardi B."

According to the docs, obtained by TMZ, the artwork made for a seriously awkward moment when Brophy's pre-K son asked what Daddy was doing in the picture, and who's that girl? Brophy says his son keeps bringing it up, too.

In the docs, Brophy says he's never met Cardi or spoken to her or her people -- but he knows that's his distinct back art of a tiger battling a snake ... which he's had for 10 years.

He obviously knows who the "Bodak Yellow" rapper is now. Brophy's making a money move of his own ... suing Cardi and her managers for at least $5 million.
