LaLa Gets Ejected from Basketball Game
Her version of the story isn't too hard too believe (statement below). Texas can be an interesting place and she just doesn't seem like the type to pick a fight. Post-racial society, huh?
“La La Vazquez became distressed during a heated playoff game, after being verbally attacked by some opposing fans, who were using racial slurs, calling her child crude names and throwing ice cubes. She sent her son home early and was preparing to leave herself when she was physically pushed. Although shaken, she left the premises on her own will and is estatic to be at home with her fiancée and child.”
“Obviously the play-offs 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,” states La La. “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.” (From Allhiphop.com/NBCDFW.com)

MAKING MOVES
Rumors are swirling around that Kobe may have a lucrative offer coming his way from a European basketball team after this season. The team is Greek club Olympiacos who recently signed Josh Childress to a pretty good deal. The offer is rumored to be $60 million for three years. But along with that salary comes a villa on the Mediterranean Sea, a private yacht, and the team paying all the taxes on the salary.
The one-time BET vee-jay, whose real name is Marie Wright, has joined New York City's Power 105.1 FM radio station as a co-host on the 'Ed Lover Morning Show.' Free joined the station officially on Oct. 14 and broadcasts on weekdays from 6am to 10 am.This isn't the Massachusetts-bred talent's first stint in radio. After her unceremonious departure from the top-rated '106 & Park' after hosting the show for five years, Free joined the now defunct Los Angeles station The Beat 100.3 FM and hosted an afternoon show called 'Free's World.' She left that station after they switched from a Hip-Hop and R&B format to become an Urban Adult Contemporary station.
