LaLa -- Racist Mavericks Fans Attacked Me First

Published | Updated

Carmelo Anthony's fiance LaLa Vazquez has released a statement claiming racial taunts and violent threats from Dallas Mavericks fans incited her at last night's NBA playoff game:

"Obviously the play-off games bring out the best and the worst in fans but what happened on Monday night with the racial slurs/threats, verbal attacks on my son and physical attacks to myself by irate fans was unacceptable. The fans were totally out of control.

What the cameras captured was me defending myself and didn't show the abuse that was taking place."

Footage shot at last night's game showed LaLa cursing and getting hostile as security tried to escort her out of the stands.

The Mavs and the Nugs are set to face off again tomorrow night.

Devean George and his overprotective bud were pissed at TMZ cameras last night outside Opera -- yeah, it probably would have helped if we didn't keep calling him "Corey," as in L.A. Clipper Corey Maggette.

Cuban: No Hip, No Problem!

Published | Updated

While several "Dancing With the Stars" contestants are limited in one way or another (Mel B. just had a baby, Wayne Newton has been stretched to the limit for some time), it's doubtful any of them have endured what Mark Cuban has.

The outspoken Dallas Mavericks owner had his hip replaced less than seven weeks before he started practicing for "Dancing With the Stars." Ay caramba!

But it's not all bad news for Cuban -- turns out that before he was mega-rich, he gave disco lessons at sorority houses for $25 an hour -- bet the benefits were spectacular!

Cuban to Trump You're Tired!

Published | Updated

Dallas Mavericks' owner Marc Cuban has lashed out on his blog (natch) at fellow billionaire buffoon, Donald Trump, for essentially getting fired, now that "The Apprenctice" has been left off the NBC fall season. Hey Mark, how'd "The Benefactor" work out for ya?!

Cuban slams Trump's real estate/business ventures (Trump Water anyone?) and gives the Combover King backhanded suggestions for staying in the public eye -- in order to remain even remotely relevant. Besides doing the lecture circuit on How to Single-Handedly Destroy Your Own Brand, Mark suggests Donald should try out for VH1's "Celebrity Fit Club" and "I Love New York," or replace his public enemy #1, Rosie O'Donnell, on "The View." Oh lord! And you think Elisabeth is irritating?!

Finally, Cuban challenges Trump to another season of "The Apprentice," Moron vs. Moron -- starring Rosie and the Donald's trophy wife, Melania -- deciding Cuban and Trump's fate in the boredroom. Only if the chair is an option!
