Kobe Bryant and TakePart TV have partnered up to create a five-part web series, titled Mission, which focuses on the people who are left homeless in Los Angeles.

In Los Angeles County, there are an estimated 254,000 men, women and children who experiences homelessness. “Getting rid of it,” Kobe Bryant said when talking about homelessness. “That’s the challenge – getting everyone back on their feet.

Former WNBA Star Chamique Holdsclaw Turns Herself In To Police Amid DRAMA!
Retired WNBA star Chamique Holdsclaw turned herself in Thursday evening after a warrant was issued for her arrest earlier in the day. It comes after an altercation with Tulsa Shock forward Jennifer Lacy became violent, according to Atlanta police. 
Holdsclaw was in the Fulton County Jail on a $10,000 bond for charges of aggravated assault, criminal damage to property and reckless conduct.

Here's what reportedly went down. Jennifer and Chamique bumped into each other at the gym and exchanged small talk.  Sources say Jennifer is the one who ended the relationship and Chamique had not been handling it well.
As Jennifer was leaving the gym, she noticed that Chamique (who battles clinical depression and attempted suicide in 2006) was following her Range Rover so she drove to a friend's house.  
Once they arrived, Chamique hopped out of her car with a baseball bat and began to smash the windows of Jennifer's Range Rover.  Afterwards, she took out a gun and fired a round into the truck before hopping back in her own car and speeding off. After the incident, Jennifer says Chamique desperately tried to contact her but she didn't respond because she feared for her life.  
Following the car attack, a warrant was issued for Chamique's arrest and she turned herself in on Thursday to the Fulton County Police Dept in Atlanta. Her bail was set at $10,000 on 3 charges: Aggravated Assault, Criminal Damages & Reckless Conduct.
News of the arrest sent shockwaves through the sporting community with many folks offering support to Jennifer and shaking their heads at Chamique (who also played on the gold medal-winning 2000 Olympic team).  
Jennifer issued a statement through the Tulsa Shock saying, 
"I want to thank my family, friends, fans and Shock family for their concern during this difficult time.  I have never felt more love from my fans in supporting me." 

And a source close to Jennifer adds, "She really hopes that Chamique gets the help she needs."
Holdsclaw played 12 seasons in the WNBA and four years at Tennessee, winning three national titles in the mid-1990s.

Discrim-FRO-nation. My hair is not a storage drawer. Although, guess I couuld hide a joint up in here.  *Blames “Romnesia” (my wigs name) 
Lets play a little game called: “What did TSA find in Solange’s Fro”?
