New York Knicks player Raymond Felton committed ADULTERY during his marriage … so says his estranged wife in divorce docs obtained by TMZ Sports.
Ariane Raymondo Felton — the same woman who ratted Raymond out to the cops about his illegal firearm — filed docs last month in a New York court seeking to end their 18-month marriage.
But in the docs, Ariane penciled in that she’s divorcing Felton because of “adultery.”
Ariane doesn’t go into detail about the adultery allegations … but in the docs, she does request the judge throw out their pre-nup. It seems she wants the prenup tossed out on the count of the alleged cheating, but she doesn’t explain why.
Ariane is seeking “maintenance” — which is essentially alimony. She also wants Raymond to finish paying for the last two years of her law school education at Fordham University.
Watch what you say! 50 Cent confronted Steve Stoute during a Knicks game at New York’s Madison Square Garden on Friday (Feb. 28). Photos surfaced of the two men in what appears to be in a heated conversation.
50 Cent may have not taken to kindly to Stoute’s unflattering remarks about his career while chatting with Hot 97 DJ Angie Martinez. During their conversation, the former rap manager-turned-advertising executive believed that Fiddy isn’t an influential artist.
“50 hasn’t had a hit in a really long time,” he told Martinez. “He has not made anything musically that has changed anything in a really long time. I feel like he’s always gearing up for something that never happens.”
50, a guy who doesn’t take smack from anyone, was photographed confronting Stoute during the Knicks game against the Golden State Warriors (see above).
Judging by the pics (posted at HipHop-N-More), it looks like the G-Unit leader was making sure he got his point across while Stoute was trying to diffuse the situation and explained himself.
For those of you who watched Monday’s game against the Dallas Mavericks, the Knicks lost a heartbreak when a prayer from Dallas player Dirk Nowitzki bounced on the rim and fell into the basket in literally the last second of the game. That last basket broke a tie between the two teams, giving Dallas the win.
That last play summed up the way the Knicks season has gone so far, as games the team should have won, somehow resulted in losses. They have suffered numerous injuries and are now playing and praying for some way to make the playoffs, an increasingly difficult task with each breathtaking loss.
Well add this to the misery that is now the Knicks season. Felton Spencer, the point guard for the team, was arrested on gun charges.
According to a New York Police Department spokesman, Felton was arrested at the 20th Precinct shortly after the Knicks lost to the Dallas Mavericks on Monday. He is expected to be arraigned later Tuesday.
The arrest garnered him second and third-degree criminal possession of a weapon felony charges and a fourth-degree criminal possession of a weapon misdemeanor charge.
According to New York courts, the second-degree felony alleges Felton “knowingly possesses a loaded firearm” and the third-degree felony alleges Felton “knowingly possesses a firearm which has been defaced for the purpose of concealment or prevention of the detection of a crime or misrepresenting the identity of such firearm.”
The second-degree felony charge carries a maximum sentence of 15 years if convicted, and the third-degree charge carries a maximum sentence of seven years if convicted.
ESPN is reporting that Jason Collins, who came out as openly gay last year, will become a member of the Brooklyn Nets.
He is expected to sign a 10-day contract and be in uniform tonight.
Collins, 35, has averaged 3.6 points and 3.8 rebounds in a 12-year NBA career. The 7-foot tall center has built a long career based on his defense and joins a Nets team doing everything possible to make a playoff run.
Darren Sharper has just been charged with 2 counts of rape in L.A. … after the former New Orleans Saints superstar allegedly drugged multiple women and raped them in his hotel room … TMZ Sports has learned.
Among the charges … two counts of rape by use of drugs, four counts of furnishing a controlled substance and one count of possession of a controlled substance, all felonies.
Sharper — who had a Hall of Fame-caliber NFL career as a safety — is accused of drugging the women with zolpidem (Ambien).
Officials say Sharper met the two womenin a West Hollywood nightclub on October 30th and invited them to another party.
On the way, officials say they stopped at Darren’s hotel room and he gave them each a shot.
The women then passed out and hours later one of the women claims she woke up with Sharper sexually assaulting her. The second woman says she woke up and “interrupted his actions.”
Officials say Sharper STRUCK AGAIN on January 14th … when he returned to the same West Hollywood nightclub and found two more women.
Sharper allegedly pulled the same scheme — inviting them back to hs room, gave them a shot, they passed out, he raped them.
Officials say both women left his hotel and sought medical treatment.
Sharper was arrested on January 17th. He was released on $200k bail. In addition to the rape, officials also say he was illegally in possession of morphine.
If convicted, Sharper faces more than 30 YEARS in prison. Officials are recommending the judge set his bail at $100 MILLION.
(Update: We’re told the $100 million bail was a typo … officials meant to request a $10 MILLION bail).
Officials say Sharper is also accused of raping women in 3 other states — including Arizona, Nevada and Louisiana.
Thanks to people like George Bush, Rick Perry and others like Ted Cruz and those Texans who are willing to forgo their own health care for dumb Republican politics, I always thought Texans were not that smart. It’s wrong of me to generalize like that, yea, I know. But when you look at the examples above, it’s hard not to come to that conclusion.
I was wrong, and I will be the first to admit that.
A sportscaster from Texas has defied my way of thinking, causing me to take a second look at the intellect of the state. And although the Ted Cruzes are still there, I am changing my way of thinling. His name is Dale Hansen and his commentary on the Michael Sam story is what did it for me.
Michael Sam came out a few days ago telling the world that he was gay. Sam, a college football star is now looking to be picked up by the NFL but since making his announcement, the college superior player is getting blowback from some in the league.

(AP) — Michael Jordan’s wife Yvette has given birth to the couple’s identical twin daughters, Jordan’s spokeswoman Estee Portnoy told The Associated Press.
Portnoy said Tuesday that Yvette Jordan, 35, gave birth to Victoria and Ysabel on Sunday in West Palm Beach, Florida.
“Yvette Jordan and the babies are doing well and the family is overjoyed at their arrival,” Portnoy said.
Jordan, widely regarded as the greatest basketball player of all time, is now the owner of the NBA’s Charlotte Bobcats, who are currently the eighth seed in the Eastern Conference and have a chance to make the playoffs for the first time since he took over as majority owner in 2010.
Jordan, who turns 51 next Monday, married former model Yvette Prieto on April 27 of last year in Palm Beach, Florida The reception took place at a private golf club in Jupiter, Florida, designed by Jack Nicklaus. Jordan owns a home near the course.
The couple met six years ago.
Jordan has three children — two sons, Jeffrey Michael and Marcus James, and a daughter, Jasmine — with former wife Juanita Vanoy. They divorced in 2006.
Jordan won six NBA championships with the Chicago Bulls and was a 14-time All-Star and five-time league MVP.
This Anchor learnt pretty quickly that, despite what he heard in the past, all black people don’t look alike. And his teacher was none other than Samuel L Jackson.
Jackson was invited on the entertainment program to talk about his upcoming movie Robocop. But the anchor however, failed to do his homework thinking that Samuel was the same black dude who did that Matrix Superbowl commercial.
“What Super Bowl commercial?” Samuel asked when KTLA’s Sam Rubin Reporter asked if he had a lot if reaction about the Superbowl commercial. “You’re as crazy as the people on Twitter. I’m not Laurence Fishburne!”
Rubin immediately realizing his embarrassing mistake, apologized and tried to change the topic, but Jackson wasn’t through with him yet.
“You’re the entertainment reporter for this station and you don’t know the difference between me and Laurence Fishburne? That must be a very short line for your job outside there.”
Rubin kept on apologizing, even slapping himself in the face. But Samuel had more to say.
“I’m the other guy! There’s more than one black guy doing a commercial. I’m the ‘What’s in your wallet?’ black guy. He’s the car black guy. Morgan Freeman is the other credit card black guy. You only hear his voice, though, so you probably won’t confuse him with Laurence Fishburne.”
Mario Balotelli, 23, Italian professional soccer player for AC Milan, shed tears on the bench after racist taunts were repeatedly hurled at him, reports Bleacher Report.
Since Balotelli’s reaction was captured on video and spread like wildfire on social media, his coach and teammates have tried to downplay the incident, insisting that racism was not a factor.
“What can I say about Balotelli’s tears? They were the tears of a sportsman,” said CoachClarence Seedorf in a press conference following the game.
Seedorf insisted that Balotelli’s tears are “human.”
“These are things that happen many times in football and sport in general,” said Seedorf in an interview with Mediaset Premium. “I’d say it was actually beautiful, but I’d prefer to talk about the game.”
“We are players,” he said to Sky Sports Italia, “and there are times when we express ourselves that way. I see nothing wrong or abnormal in that. I experienced it at times too.”
According to Sporting News, Balotelli has been the victim of racist taunts for years:
But still, Serie A has not yet found a feasible solution to quelling fans’ disturbing treatment of Balotelli, and the fines the league has tried to issue as a penalty have not done enough to deter certain fanbases.
Watch Balotelli allegedly react to the racist taunts below:
Balotelli’s teammates insist that the tears were not due to racism, rather he was just disappointed about being benched.
“Mario really cares about doing well with Milan and making his mark. He is sentimental. It’s a shame that he got so downhearted about it, as he needs to keep his head up,” said Ignazio Abate.
Or could it simply be that several years of being called a “monkey” and a “nig***” have taken their toll on Balotelli?
A college football star, poised to become an early NFL draft pick in May, announced Sunday that he’s gay and proud of it.
Michael Sam, coming off an All-American season as a defensive lineman for the University of Missouri Tigers, said he knows well that coming clean about his sexual orientation is a “big deal.”
“I am an openly, proud gay man,” Sam, 24, last year’s Southeast Conference defensive player of the year, said in interviews with ESPN and the New York Times.
Projected by some to be taken in the early rounds of the NFL draft this summer, Sam would become the first openly gay professional football player.
Though Seattle Seahawks cornerback Richard Sherman became a household name for his aggressive smack-talk in a post-game interview with Erin Andrews, the NFL star, fresh off a Super Bowl win, shut down a Twitter troll with no more than a smile on Tuesday.
After Sherman tweeted some kind words to Super Bowl competitor and Denver Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning, one angry Twitter user harassed Sherman online, calling him a “disingenuous punk” and “nasty scumbag.”
“Everyone who heard you dissing Manning before knows you don’t mean a damn word of this, you pathetic, disingenuous punk,” said user @SnBEternally in one tweet, following it up with two more tweets:
Take your phony praise and shove it up your drugged out ass, you worthless scumbag.
Seattle beat Denver, but you contributed nothing and got carted off with an injury. Karma’s a NASTY bitch, needle Dick! 😛
Sherman, who had been thanking his fans on Twitter, took a moment to respond to the troll, too:
