Kobe Bryant scored 26 points, 7 assists and 6 rebounds to lead the series (3-2). Kobe responded on the win last night and he said:
“I just had to pick my spots,” he said. “I knew I wasn’t 100 percent healthy, so I wanted to get us off to a good start, give us an emotional boost. Then in the third quarter, there were moments where I had to pick it up, and I was able to do that. And in the fourth quarter, Lamar [Odom] and Pau [Gasol] took it from there.”
(Photos: TMZ) The knock-out heard ’round the world! Hip-hops version of Deebo (from Friday) got what was coming to him over the weekend outside of a nightclub in Los Angeles. Former Deathrow records CEO Suge Knight got into a little altercation with some guy at Shag nightclub Saturday night over some money. A spy from the omnipresent TMZ overheard Suge say: “I want my money!” So he and his goonz apparently jumped the guy and beat him to the ground. But outside, the story changed when the guy hit Suge with a right hook, knocking the big guy out cold for a little under 5 minutes!

Jayceon “The Game” Taylor covers the July 2008 issue of The Source Magazine. The Game has recently reached out to former G Unit member Young Buck to show his support.
In an interview last Friday, Buck said:
“To the homie Game. I’m aware of you reaching out. I haven’t gotten on no phone conversations and actually spoke to Game, but he’s reached out to a few people that’s around me just to show his support like, ‘Yo Buck, f**k whatever’s going on, I just wanna see your well being, as long as you aight.’ (He said) that type of thing.
‘That’s love and I ain’t even got that call from (remaining G-Unit members, Lloyd) Banks and (Tony) Yayo, and we ain’t got no issues with each other. The issue was from 50.â€
Glad to see they could squash whatever “beef” they had going on.

The Detroit Pistons take the victory of the series (4-1) between the Orlando Magic. Detroit had an advantage a home by winning the last game in the series but it’s go hard or go home. The Pistons came harder leading them further into the playoffs. The final score of last night game was [91-86]. Richard Hamilton would not let his team lose at home..period. He scored 31 points, 2 rebounds, and 3 assists. Hamilton said proudly after the final game win:
“Now we expect to do this,” Hamilton said. “We’re supposed to be here.”
“Throughout this unfortunate case, I was advised from my attorney to stay silent but now I want you all to see me for me and what I’ve gone through,” said Remy as tears fell. “Reporters and newspapers have called me a ‘hardcore rapper,’ a ‘hip-hop harlot’ — Remy Ma is just a music industry name. A facade. I’m not a thug. I’m not a hardcore anything. I have feelings. I’m Remy Smith — No, I’m Remy Mackie. I’m a wife, mother, daughter and big sister.”
This is what Remy Ma was quoted as saying as attempted one final time to receive a lighter sentence. Remy was arrested last year after she shot her longtime friend Makenda Barnes-Joseph in the stomach over an alleged confrontation of about $3,000 stolen from Remy’s purse. In March, she was found guilty of first-degree assault, criminal weapons charges and attempted coercion, which lead to her sentencing hearing today.
Remy Ma’s wedding was called off yesterday when her fiancée Papoose showed up to the jail with none other than … a handcuff key!
“A wedding was scheduled today and a visitor to that wedding service was found to be in possession of jail contraband so the wedding was canceled,” a corrections official told NY Daily News. “The key that was found today easily opened handcuffs that we and other law enforcement officials use,”
The 29-year-old Brooklyn-born rapper whose real name is Shamele Mackie was not charged after he voluntarily surrendered the key to authorities. He was quickly ushered out of the jail before reaching the Rose M. Singer chapel, where the two were set to be married. Now according to the Rikers Island official, Remy and her “ride or die” will not be allowed visitation with each other until November of this year.
He better be happy he was just told not to come back for 6 months instead of being charged for his stupidity!
Singer M.I.A has just released her own clothing line. The self-titled collection is only available in London at the moment, but there are plans to release the collection in the US. M.I.A is known for wearing bold, bright-colored outfits and says the line will of course reflect her own personal style.
My stuff is different because everything is really bright like me, if you lose it or someone steals it, you can see it from miles away and you can be like, ‘Oy! Give me my shirt back!’
The singer’s line will include bomber jackets, t-shirts and leggings. The line also features bold bright hues and graphic prints.
