Mets Streaker -- Take Me Out to the Balls Game!
Wearing a strategically placed object wrapped around his junk, some insane Mets fan blessed Citi Field with its first streaker at last night's game.

WARNING: This video contains a whole lotta man-butt.
LaLa -- Racist Mavericks Fans Attacked Me First
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.

Carmelo Anthony's Fiance Explodes in Stands
The blood-feud between the Dallas Mavericks and the Denver Nuggets is so nasty, Carmelo Anthony's fiance had to be escorted out of the stands in last night's game after an argument with opposing fans got way out of control.
While Melo unsuccessfully tried to lead his Nuggets to a victory in Dallas, his fiance, LaLa Vazquez, who is ironically a judge on VH1's "Charm School," got into it with some people sitting near her. In the video, shot by KDFW in Dallas, a visibly upset LaLa can be seen trying to throw something and then cussing at security as they tried to get her to leave.
If you haven't been following the NBA, both teams pretty much hate each other. A few nights ago, Mavs owner Mark Cuban made some kind of a comment to the mother of a Denver Nuggets star. He since admitted he was wrong and apologized, but you know how fans get ...
Chris Benoit Doc Gets Ten in The Pen
The doctor who prescribed steroids for late wrestler Chris Benoit is going to prison for ten years.
Dr. Phil Astin was sentenced today in Georgia after he pled guilty to 25 counts back in January, including illegally distributing prescription drugs.
It's still unclear whether Astin-prescribed steroids caused Benoit to go berserk in 2007 -- when he killed his wife and child, then took his own life.
Astin was also linked to another wrestling tragedy -- Michael Durham died in 2006 with toxic levels of Soma and hydrocodone.

Queen Elizabeth's Horse Popped for Juicin'
First A-Roid ... then Manny ... now Queen Elizabeth herself has been injected into a scandal involving a performance enhancing substance.
It's all over a racehorse owned by the Queen -- officials in England claim the horse, named Moonlit Path, tested positive for a banned substance after a race in March. But here's the catch: Moonlit Path didn't even win the race -- it finished 6th.
The Queen's peeps have already come up with an excuse, claiming Moonlit Path only got the prohibited acid -- which is also used to treat excessive bleeding -- in the best interests of the "horse's welfare."
The British Horseracing Authority has already charged the horse's trainer for the incident ... so far the Queen is clean.

Manny Ramirez I'm Sorry, So Sorry...
Manny Ramirez just released the following statement regarding his 50 game suspension for violating the MLB drug policy:
"Recently I saw a physician for a personal health issue. He gave me a medication, not a steroid, which he thought was OK to give me.
Unfortunately, the medication was banned under our drug policy. Under the policy, that mistake is now my responsibility. I've been advised not to say anything more for now.
I do want to say one other thing; I've taken and passed about 15 drug tests over the past 5 seasons.
I want to apologize to Mr. McCourt, Mrs. McCourt, Mr. Torre, my teammates, the Dodger organization, and to the Dodger fans. L.A. is a special place to me and I know everybody is disappointed. So am I. I'm sorry about this whole situation."
According to the MLB Players Association, Manny has waived his right to challenge that suspension.
Los Angeles Dodgers CEO Jamie McCourt issued the following statement in reaction to today's statement: "We share the disappointment felt by our fans, our players, and every member of our organization. We support the policies of Major League Baseball, and we will welcome Manny back upon his return."

Tom Brady Searched by Cops 968 Times!
It only took 968 questionable criminal background checks -- but at least law enforcement officials in Massachusetts know Tom Brady is clean.

Authorities are investigating to see who ran the searches and to find out if they were all warranted -- but 968 searches on a guy as flawless as Tom Brady seems a bit excessive to us...
