Claim: D-Wade Staged ‘Sex Parties’, Smoked Weed

Camsox — Tue, 10 Feb 2009 04:16:25 +0000

Dwyane Wade, who has experienced his share of personal public relations disasters of late, had another bomb dropped on him this week by the PALM BEACH POST.

(Oh, how the mighty Father of the Year has fallen.)

In a story published on the PBP’s gossip site PAGE 2 LIVE, Jose Lambiet reports that a former business partner of Wade is accusing the married NBAer of hosting wild “sex parties”, smoking marijuana and botching numerous business deals.

Richard Von Houtman claims he provided a condo to Wade that the Miami Heat star soon turned into a personal party bungalow. Wade and his friends held numerous gatherings there, which featured sex with random women and marijuana use. Van Houtman said he twice saw Wade smoking a joint in the house but wasn’t in attendance for the orgies that Wade allegedly helped arrange.

“They (Wade and childhood friend Marcus Andrews) both made it clear to me how their goal in life is to have sex with as many women as possible,” Von Houtman said.

Ugly allegations for a guy who is currently damage-controlling a divorce settlement.

So if Wade is such a bad guy, why did Van Houtman develop a close relationship with him?

Signal to Noise — Mon, 14 Jul 2008 18:10:24 +0000

Olympic swimmer Dara Torres has been the feel-good story of qualifying so far, making her fifth Olympics at the age of 41 in a sport favoring those in their teens and twenties. But there’s one person who’s not particularly interested or enthralled by her remarkable feat: her ex-husband.

The PALM BEACH POST caught up with West Palm surgeon Itzhak Shasha, and he sounds just a little peeved even answering the most basic questions about his ex-wife.

Rodriguez Brings Boras In As Marriage Counselor

Signal to Noise — Mon, 14 Jul 2008 16:10:56 +0000

When times get tough, you have to turn to someone you can trust. With the New York papers all over his marital discord, Alex Rodriguez has turned to an old familiar face to try and help smooth things over with wife Cynthia either towards a reconciliation (ha!) or, more likely, an attempt to keep the split a little more quiet. His former agent Scott Boras met with the unhappy couple in Toronto over the weekend.

According to the NEW YORK DAILY NEWS, the superagent brokered the meeting (which allowed A-Rod to see his 3-year old daughter for the first time in weeks) and may even have met one-on-one with Cynthia.

Tony Bruno’s Alimony Keeping Him Off The Air?

PUNTE — Sat, 14 Jun 2008 15:51:13 +0000

I have a hard time feeling sorry for famous people. It usually makes me break out in a rash and induces vomiting. But anybody that’s going to lose 75 out of every dollar he earns deserves a bit of sympathy.

Such is the plight of noted sports jock Tony Bruno, who has chirped on the airwaves of ESPN and FOX SPORTS, who implied in a recent interview that part of his decision to remain unemployed was based on a $12,000 monthly alimony payment he’d be making to his ex-wife. (more…)

Latest: Shaquille Leaving On A (Private) Jet Plane

jason — Wed, 06 Feb 2008 12:20:23 +0000

The EAST VALLEY TRIBUNE updates the latest on Shaq’s saunter to the Suns. O’Neal is expected to arrive in Phoenix early Wednesday morning by way of his private jet, and will head straight to his physical.

If Shaq Diesel’s tune-up goes as planned, Shawn Marion & Marcus Banks are off to South Beach to join the Heat.

Even if the deal goes through, O’Neal might not hit the court right away, as he’s been out the past six games with injuries. But as the Tribune points out, “he might have missed the games more out of a lack of interest than any truly debilitating problems.”

When your team’s 9-37 & you’re going through a costly divorce, it’s hard to pay much attention. But if the Big Aristotle is really relocating to the Valley of the Sun, he might want to step up efforts to sell his Star Island abode - no thanks to A-Rod.

Divorce Docs: Shaq’s $1,500 Monthly Cable Bill

Brooks — Wed, 23 Jan 2008 16:36:55 +0000

PAST DEADLINE has the only details from the Shaq-Shaunie divorce case that we really care about: The Big Crispy’s bizarre monthly expenditures.

The site reports that the TV show EXTRA sifted through some of the recent legal documents regarding the couple’s divorce case (fun internship, eh?), and found that “O’Neal made almost $2 million a month. But before your jaw drops, keep in mind that Shaq had a lot of expenses, as well. According to the affidavit he spent $22,000 a month for maid service …. his monthly clothing expenditure is $17,000 … his monthly vacations cost $110,000 and his monthly gasoline bill is $23,000 (that works out to about 6,000 gallons of gas, or about 200 gallons a day).”

But Shaq’s $1,500 monthly ~~on demand porn~~ cable bill is our favorite insane indulgence. We wonder if that kind of jack gets the 8-hour installation time window cut down to say, six.
