Tracy Morgan’s Mom Turned Away at The Hospital

Tracy Morgan’s estranged mother says she was barred from seeing her son at the hospital.

Alicia Warden has spoken out about the way she was treated in an interview with TMZ, claiming Morgan’s fiancee Megan Wollover is working against her.

Although the comedian and his mother had been estranged for more than a decade, Warden told the news site that no one informed her of her son’s car accident or the fact that he had been transported to hospital.

Warden – whose relationship with Morgan has been described as strained – told TMZ that she heard about it on television but when she tried to see her son in the hospital, she was met with resistence by Megan and hospital security and had to leave.

But she came back the next day and was allowed into the room where Morgan lay unconscious for five minutes and in the company of a pastor and a few friends.

‘All I wanted was for our family to be alone with him,’ Warden told TMZ. ‘I wanted to pray over him and couldn’t do that because so many people were in the room.’

Flavor Flav’s Speeding Trial Postponed

Back in January, Flava was hit with a speeding ticket in Long Island as he tried to be on time for his mother’s funeral. But plane tickets are expensive and with the Flavor living in LA, flying back and forth for this case is apparently putting a dent in his wallet.

Police say the rapper and reality star was speeding and driving without a license, a felony, on Jan. 9 on the Meadowbrook Parkway on Long Island. His attorney, Indji Bessim, says the case has been postponed to May 16, reports the AP.

Flav, whose real name is William Drayton, told reporters as he entered a Nassau County courtroom Tuesday that he hoped to resolve the case.

The rapper, who lives in Las Vegas, complained that flights from there to New York were becoming expensive.
At least he will save some money with his felony assault case, which takes place in Vegas. Flav faces that charge and others after allegedly threatening his longtime girlfriend’s teenage son.

The Parenting Extremes

For as long as I can remember I’ve had complete freedom when it comes with what I can do with my life. My parents have rarely, if ever, said I can’t do something or hang out with certain people. For as long as I can also remember, I’ve never met parents that are anywhere near as lenient as my parents; many of my friends parents hover over them in one way or another.

My parents didn’t think twice letting me drive and take my friends to play paintball

If you ask my parents why they give me such freedoms, their answer will be that they trust me completely. I’ve never given them a reason to not. I don’t come home drunk or on some drug(s), do reckless things, hang out with the wrong crowd, or be a total numb skull. This trust is what lets me leave late at night, come home even later, have my own car, promote for clubs, sleep over a girlfriends house and hang out with friends they have never met.

Now you may think my parents aren’t involved much in my life if they give me such freedom but, that would be wrong. I love hanging out with my mom and though I can be seen as a tougher kid, I’m not ashamed to say that. Sure me and my dad may get on each other nerves sometimes but, we still have a lot in common that keeps us close. I really do enjoy being around my parents and hanging out with them both.

I was trusted with a car as soon as I got my license

On the other side of the spectrum, most of my friends parents still have a tendency to hover over them as if they’re twelve years old. Their parents control who they hang out with, don’t trust them when they’re out, check in on them constantly, to sum it up they baby their teenage son or daughter. They seem to shelter their kid from the world as much as they possibly can, the same world they’ll one day be on their own to live in.

Ask these teens if they can’t wait to get away from their parents thanks to college or to just be able to move out one day and they will all say “yes!” These same teens usually go totally rebellious once they are free of their parents since they can finally choose their own life to live.

I am not a parent nor am I claiming to be one in anyway. I’ve never raised a kid and don’t plan to for many years to come. I am only a product of how I was raised by my parents; I was raised in a way that I believe every kid should be as well. We all need to be able to experience the world when we’re young, the world we will one day be on our own to live in.

Kobe Bryant Takes Mom to Court

Goldin Auctions is auctioning more than 100 items from the early basketball life of Kobe Bryant consigned by his mother Pamela Bryant. (goldinauctions.com)

Kobe Bryant, the Los Angeles Lakers shooting guard, is embroiled in a legal spat with his mother and an auction house in New Jersey that is selling over 100 items from his early basketball career.

Goldin Auctions LLC, which is holding an auction on an unspecified date in June of items from Bryant’s childhood in Italy, his high school years in Pennsylvania and his early years in the NBA, filed a lawsuit against him on Thursday.

“The Bryant Collection,” which was consigned by the sports star’s mother, Pamela Bryant, includes trophies, championship rings, medals, plaques, game worn uniforms and other items.

Pamela Bryant, 59, made a deal in January with the auction house, receiving $450,000, which she used for a new home in Nevada. Five years ago, she had asked her son what he wanted to do with the items, but he had no interest in them, the Associated Press reported.

“Pamela Bryant also indicated that her son gave these items to her stating ‘here mom, these are for you’,” the complaint states.

So she had placed the items in a storage unit in New Jersey for $1,500 a month, the AP reported.

The centerpiece of the collection is Bryant’s Lower Merion High School basketball uniform with the number 24, which he wore as a freshman before he switched to number 33 for the remainder of his high school career, according to a press release.

“It is believed to be the only authentic game worn #24 Kobe Bryant LMHS jersey in existence. The next time he wore a #24 jersey was when he switched his NBA number to it after the 2005-06 NBA season,” the Goldin Auctions press release states. “When he finally removes #24 from his back, it will hang in the rafters alongside, Wilt, Kareem, Magic and Shaq.”

Ken Goldin, founder of Goldin Auctions, which sold a rare Honus Wagner baseball card last month for a record $2.1 million, declined to comment.
