Falcons Player Loses House
Former NFL star Jamal Anderson took a beating on his Georgia mansion … TMZ has learned his primo crib was sold off at a foreclosure auction … for $225,000 LESS than what Jamal paid.
Jamal — who played for the Atlanta Falcons from 1994 to 2001 — bought the MASSIVE 10-bedroom, 9-bath crib way back in 1999 (when he had an NFL contract) for $1.225 million.
According to official records, Anderson defaulted on his mortgage … so the bank foreclosed the home and recently sold it at auction for an even $1,000,000.
It was a STEAL for the buyer … the pad is over 6,000 square feet, sits on 2 acres and is rockin’ a separate guest house, arcade room, media room, pool and spa.
In other Jamal news … TMZ has learned he just paid off that $1.1 million federal tax lien. Yay.

R.Kelly & Justin Bieber Hang Out Like Besties ?
Apparently, R.Kelly believes he and Justin Bieber are on the same legendary level.  Check out his tweet inside, plus Frank Ocean's new single and Prince's new Billboard cover with some new music....
R.Kelly shocked all of Instagram yesterday (ok, maybe just us) when he posted a pic of him and the Biebs chillin' this past weekend.  He said:

Hanging with the homie @justinbieber this weekend #legends

Oh?  We guess an 18-year-old who's been in the game about 5 years could be a legend in his own right as he has been a top selling artist of this decade.  But let's not throw him on the level of the Kells just yet....

Seems like these two could be working on some new music together.  Could be good....



Timbaland Sues For $1.8 Million Watch
Timbaland is still crying over that $1.8 MILLION watch that went missing two years ago (wouldn’t you be?) — and now he’s filed a lawsuit against his insurance company … claiming it REFUSES to cough up the cash to cover his claim.

According to a lawsuit filed against American Home Assurance Company last month, the music mogul claims he paid over $50,000 to take out a policy with AHA back in May 2010. Timbaland says the policy covered a slew of expensive items, including his Jacob & Co. 18K white gold watch, loaded with over 30 CARATS of diamonds!!!
In the suit, Timbaland claims he lost the watch in August 2010 and filed a claim with AHA — and even testified under oath that it was missing — but the company DENIED his request and hasn’t paid a dime.
But there’s a twist … this is the SAME watch Timbaland reported stolen two years ago — which is when his family called the cops … claiming he was so distraught by the loss they feared he might commit suicide. Timbaland was adamant he never planned to kill himself.
At the time, he told the L.A. County Sheriff’s department he felt “someone he knows” stole the bling and they opened an investigation.

In the suit, the rapper says he believes (and testified under oath) it was his two-and-a-half-year-old daughter who “picked [the watch] up and played with it until she became bored and discarded it somewhere.”

He adds, “It has never been found.”
Timbaland is suing for $1.8 million — the value of the watch — plus interest and attorneys’ fees.



Fan Gets Tackle-Hugged By LeBron James After Hitting A Half Court Hook Shot For $75,000
Let us set the scene for you. During a timeout of the Miami Heat/Detroit Pistons game, Fifty-year-old computer technician Michael Drysch from McHenry, Ill. was chosen to shoot a hook shot from half-court at a chance to win $75,000.
What happened afterwards was just completely awesome. The odds of making this trick shot in front of 20,000 people is truly one of the most difficult and nearly impossible shots to hit in all of basketball.
But there was Drysch, with one hand on a basketball from half court and took his hook shot heave towards the basket only to have it hit nothing but net to an eruption at the American Airlines Arena.
Drysch was elated, but nobody could've been more excited to see him hit the shot than LeBron James himself. The three-time NBA MVP ran towards the fan at halfcourt and hug tackled the guy like they both had just won an NBA Championship. It was one of those "sports is kind of awesome" moments that happens every once in a while.
"When he wound up I was like, 'Oh no, there's no way,'" James said after the game. "When it dropped, that was awesome. I would have probably air-balled that one in that situation."
"That was crazy," Heat guard Dwyane Wade said. "The place erupted. It was like it was when we won the finals."
What makes it funnier is that Spolestra was in the middle of drawing up a play when James sprinted out to celebrate.
"I heard the eruption, and I turned and I saw LeBron absolutely tackle him," Spoelstra said.
"I had no idea what was going on. That fan, while he'll love the $75,000, having that on video — LeBron James tackling you at half court in front of 20,000 — I think will be the longer-lasting memory."


A Few Washington Redskins’ Players Almost Get Catfished
A few Washington Redskin players almost get catfished, when they almost fell victim to a half naked girl on Twitter and Instagram named @RED_RIDN_H00D aka “Sidney Ackerman”
According to reports from NFL.com, Phillip Daniels, the Redskins’ director of player development, he has instructed several players not to talk to “Sidney Ackerman.”

Via NFL.com
NFL.com has learned that NFL security conducted an investigation into a situation involving a woman, known by the pseudonym Sidney Ackerman, who used pictures of an Internet adult entertainer, C.J. Miles, to establish dialogues with pro athletes.
According to multiple sources, the conversations occurred mostly through Twitter’s direct messaging function. But in some instances, “Ackerman” also sent separate photos of Miles to players’ cell phones, never suggesting the photos were not her own, as conversations endured on and off for months.

“If you think about it, a lot of them are single guys, and they see somebody who looks good in a picture or something,” Daniels said. “In many cases, it involves someone who is a fan of the team, so they’ll start talking about the team. You have to recognize that something just isn’t right.
“But you’re talking about a lot of guys who are single. I don’t fault the guys. I fault the people who are doing this crazy stuff, causing these problems.”

On multiple occasions, several Redskins players attempted to arrange meetings with “Ackerman,” but none of them succeeded, Daniels said. The numerous failed attempts led to suspicion, and Daniels then received some independent information about the possibility that “Ackerman” indeed was a fake.
Unlike Te’o, none of the Redskins players involved became emotionally attached to “Ackerman,” instead pursuing her out of nothing more than physical appeal, sources close to the situation said. “Ackerman” also sent at least one player a pornographic video of Miles, which she also claimed to be of herself. On certain occasions, “Ackerman” also doctored photos of Miles in an attempt to personalize them and provide the athletes with a sense that she indeed was the person she claimed to be.

Damn, this would of been a great episode on Catfish…..don’t you think?



Michelle Williams Rehearses For "FELA", ADDRESSES "Beyonce-Gate" On "GMA"
Destiny's Child member Michelle Williams was spotted singing and dancing during rehearsals for the touring company of 'FELA!' at the Pearl Studios in New York City.  She is playing the role of Sandra Isadore, who was Fela's African-American lover.  Maija Garcia, the tour director and choreographer, spoke of Michelle's addition saying,

"Sandra is our key for an American audience to look at Fela and understand a bit more where Fela may have been coming from.  And an American audience can very much identify with Michelle Williams because she's of our time. She really becomes a vehicle for people to learn about Fela and for people to understand why Fela is relevant in the United States."
She'll be starring alongside Adesola Osakalumiin (who plays Fela Kuti) during the 16-city run.
Michelle in "Fela!" at the Shakespeare Theatre Company in Washington, D.C., NOW, before stops through Miami, Atlanta, Cleveland, Dallas, Los Angeles, Seattle, Nashville, Tenn and other locales.



Chief Keef & His Mother Flash Gang Signs On
And now we know why these damn kids are like they are!! Chief Keef is back in the news yet again. An Instagram photo featuring Keef, his mother and cousin Fredo Santana flashing gang signs has started going viral.
The photo, taken late last year, features the Chicago rapper and family members all flashing the “O Block” sign, an offshoot faction of the violent Black Disciples street gang.  This latest bit of controversy adds to a growing list of instances involving the 17-year-old Windy City native, including the shooting death of a stepbrother and the "I Don't Like" rapper's current 2-month stint in juvenile detention sentence for parole violation.

Check out the full pic, and others Sosa may want to consider removing,

Not much is known about Chief Keef's mother, save for a few scattered photos on the Web. It is known that the artist is not close to his father, Alfosno Cozart; this according to a report from DNAinfo.com Chicago after Keef's stepbrother Ulysses "Chris" Gissendanner III was slain.
Keef's long-rumored gang affiliations have been fodder for the media ever since the unsolved killing of rival rapper and alleged gang member Joseph “Lil JoJo” Coleman launched a police investigation.
With recent reports of a $6 million Interscope record deal on the line and a child support lawsuit from a middle school girl, Chief Keef's management team has more damage control to undertake after this latest snafu since parole boards don't take kindly to parolees kicking it with gangs.
