Serge Ibaka & His Naked Body Cover ESPN Magazine's 2014 BODY ISSUE
After you finish throwing your hands up to the sky saying "Thank Ya Jesus" for this cover, NBA baller Serge Ibaka makes your crush even bigger as he talks about his humble beginnings.
In the upcoming 2014 ESPN Magazine Body Issue, Serge Ibaka is gracing the cover nude and looking like....this. *e-high fives Keri Hilson*
The NBA star isn't just showing off his pretty much perfect physique, he also opens up about dealing with his injury during the 2014 playoffs.
On his injury during the playoffs
I told them, "Hell no, no surgery." [The doctors] told me I was going to be out for the rest of the playoffs: "The MRI showed that you are bleeding a lot in your calf and you're going to be out the rest of the playoffs." But my heart was telling me, "You're going to be back."
On his surprise return soon after (and how girlfriend Keri Hilson reacted)
It was not easy, that game, man. When I came back the first game, I was scared a little bit. My girlfriend was scared; she was thinking I was just going to play because of media pressure. And then my sister tells me, "I can't believe you are trying to play today, and yesterday you couldn't walk!" I said "Listen, whatever happens happens, but I need to be out there with my teammates."
On his fitness obsession
I wish I had more body parts that I could work out. If I had my way, I'd be in the gym all day. I love to lift. When I don't have basketball practice, I'll be in a gym for 2.5 hours - 30 minutes abs, 2 hours lifting.
If you put some work in, you can have this body. It's not because all basketball players have this body, no. I have this kind of body because I put a lot of work into it. I work out a lot.
On making basketball happen in the Congo as a kid
Our court was the street. We'd collect a lot of plastic bags that we'd put together and it would become like a basketball and we'd start shooting with it. It was expensive to have a basketball. We'd just hang some basket on the street -- something we could just shoot at where the ball could go in. We used a lot of things -- a tire from a bike. That's how we would play.
On choosing basketball over soccer
My father was always pushing me to become a basketball player. In Africa, when you're a kid, every kid loves to play soccer, and I loved playing soccer. But my dad didn't want me playing soccer. He would joke, "C'mon, man, you're too tall!" Then he promised me, "If you start playing basketball, I'm going to give you my jersey." That's one of my favorite things from my dad is his old jersey. He played with No. 9, too. That's where I get my number from.

Beyoncé Has Another Sibling? Mathew Knowles Fathers Another Child, Hit With A Second Paternity Test
This is becoming a bit embarrassing, according to BUZZFEED a Houston-area woman claims Mathew Knowles is the father of her daughter, who was born in 2010, the same time when his ex- wife Tina Knowles divorced him for fathering another son with his then mistress. Matthew Knowles remarried, but not to either women whom he has created life with during or while he was married to Miss Tina!
According to court documents filed against Mathew Knowles on May 30 by a 30-year-old Houston-area woman.
In the petition, Taqoya Branscomb alleges Beyoncé’s 63-year-old father is also the dad of a female child born in 2010 in Harris County, Texas. Branscomb is attempting to make Knowles take a DNA test, and is also requesting child support and money for her attorney’s fees.
This is the second time Knowles has been hit with a paternity suit. In 2010, Knowles acknowledged that he was father of actress Alexsandra Wright’s son. News of the affair with Wright led to his divorce from former wife Tina after nearly 30 years of marriage.
In February 2013, Knowles was ordered to pay Wright $12,000 a month, but that figure was reduced to $2,485 a month by a judge after Knowles claimed his income had dwindled in recent years.
THIS CHICK IS A THOT!
Michael Douglas & Catherine Zeta Jones Premiere “And So It Goes” in East Hampton NY
Bringing an end to a fabulous weekend, Michael Douglas showed up at the premiere of his new movie “And So It Goes” at Guild Hall in East Hampton, New York
The “Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps” star was joined by his supportive wife Catherine Zeta Jones as he schmoozed with Diane Keaton and Rob Reiner ahead of the screening.
Slated to hit theaters July 25th, “And So It Goes” also stars Sterling Jerins, Annie Parisse, Austin Lysy and Michael Terra.
Per the synopsis, “A self-centered realtor enlists the help of his neighbor when he's suddenly left in charge of the granddaughter he never knew existed until his estranged son drops her off at his home.”
Video: Jazmine Sullivan – “Dumb” (Ft. Meek Mill)
Jazmine Sullivan is out to catch a cheater in the accompanying visuals to her Meek Mill-assisted single “Dumb,” the lead from her upcoming album Reality Show.
Inspired by the hidden camera reality television series, Cheaters, the video finds Jazmine playing a Muppet who’s hosting a similar show – with each cheating scenario featuring a human and a puppet.
Before the vid begins, the following message is displayed on the screen:
You are about to view true stories, filmed live, documenting the pain of infidelity. This program is both dedicated to the faithful and presented to the false-hearted to encourage their renewal of temperance and virtue.
After helping a few individuals catch their lover or spouse red-handed, the soulful singer walks in on her own man (played by New Girl’s Lamorne Morris), who’s caught in the act. Instead of causing a scene, she keeps calm, and keeps it moving.

Kim Kardashian And Kanye West Refuse To Pay $20K Honeymoon
It is just like a Kardashian to be wanting something for free, isn’t it?
Kim Kardashian and her husband Kanye West tied the knot in Italy and honeymooned in Ireland, but according to reports, they didn’t pay the $20,000 for the cost of their honeymoon festivities. Reportedly, the duo checked into Castle Oliver in Limerick, Ireland, but didn’t like the place so they packed up, complained about the cell phone reception and left for the Ballyfin House in Co Laois instead.
Despite them leaving, the castle had already ordered a bunch of stuff for their honeymoon demands and the couple ended up reversing the deposit they put forward for the place on their American Express card.
An insider close to the situation said, “Everyone is shocked to say the least. The castle is out a fortune on their honeymoon. It is absolutely awful. They made all these requests ahead of their visit, for certain foods, champagnes, thousands in flowers, candelabras everywhere. The hotel brought in everything they requested, and there were dozens of items. But then they took back all the money they had paid for them!”
The source said that “everyone involved in making their honeymoon perfect at Castle Oliver has been completely burned. We’re not just talking about the hotel, but providers from all around the local area who gave their services and time in good faith that Kim and Kanye would pay them. But they won’t get their money back.”
Another source said, “A member of staff based in the United States was fired for booking them into the venue. It’s insane! We’re talking about one of the richest couples in the entertainment business refusing to pay the bill for their honeymoon. It would have been a dream honeymoon for anyone else in the world, and they should just have the decency to pay their bill.”
Absolutely no one should ever use the words “decency” and “Kim Kardashian” in the same sentence EVER.

Six Flags rollercoaster DERAILS in terrifying crash
Four people were injured and around 21 others were left hanging 30ft in the air when a roller coaster at Six Flags in Los Angeles derailed.
Los Angeles County Fire Department first responders were called to Six Flags Magic Mountain in Santa Clarita just before 6 p.m. after ride operators said the attraction that hits 55 mph had smashed into a tree.
Rescue crews discovered the terrified passengers clinging to the amusement park ride, according to KTLA. They were using heavy equipment to extract the thrillseekers.
The Ninja coaster struck a tree branch shortly before 6 p.m. and stopped, said Michael Pittman, a Los Angeles County Fire Department dispatch supervisor.
Televised news reports showed at least one of the cars that normally are suspended beneath a track dangling at an angle, derailed at the front.
Pittman said four people on the ride received minor injuries, but they and other riders remained on the stalled coaster, stranded 20 to 30 feet in the air, more than an hour after the accident.
Firefighters had ladders available to rescue them if necessary, he added.
It was earlier reported that two people suffered serious injuries but this was later found to be untrue.
According to the Six Flags website, the ride - called the 'Ninja' - takes riders on a winding track at speeds of 55 mph.
Riders hang from the track and are swung 90 degrees each way in the 'suspended swinging roller coaster' that is described as a 'stealth assassin.'
The Ninja coaster can hold up to 28 riders.
'As you shoot down the snake-like steel track you'll grip the hillsides and blast through the trees swiftly, slicing through the landscape. Ninja pivots with precision as you narrowly miss tagging land and water, whipping around at 55 miles per hour,' according to the amusement park's website.
Six Flags Magic Mountain is in the Valencia area of Santa Clarita, about 25 miles north of Los Angeles.
The Associated Press was unable to reach Magic Mountain representatives after-hours.
Fan Approaches Mya About Jay Z in Real Life
This is really getting out of hand.
Mya's manager claims a fan approached the pop star in church to ask if she was really sleeping with Jay Z… Last week a newly revealed blind item claiming Mya was the longtime mistress of Jay Z went viral
Mya has since denied the rumors but that's not good enough for some people.
Mya's manager Mike Killmon tells the NY Daily News
“Someone walked up and asked her about it while she was accepting an award at a church.”
“At first it was just ridiculous, but then some die-hard fans start making threats. She really couldn't care less about the rumors, but she wanted to set the record straight when the after-effects started to become troublesome.”
SERIOUSLY AT A CHURCH?
Ryan Leslie: I Will NOT Pay 1 Million Judgement For Missing Laptop, Demands Debt Be Wiped Clean
According to theJasmineBRAND producer/singer/rapper Ryan Leslie is firing back at the man who won a 1 million dollar judgement against him, claiming that 1) he does not deserve the cash reward and 2) wants the bankruptcy court to wipe it clear.
In 2012, the 35-year-old Harvard-educated artist was ordered to pay 1 million dollars back by a federal court jury — after he failed to pay a $1 million reward for a missing laptop to a man named Armin Augstein.
Leslie claimed the laptop didn’t have the unreleased music on it when it was given back to him and for that reason, he didn’t have to pay. Leslie has been fighting payment on the judgement and even had his Cadillac Escalade seized and sold off at auction for 17k back in September (2013). Last year, he filed for bankruptcy claiming he didn’t have the cash to pay the judgement. The judge will determine if Leslie will have to pay the 1 million or whether or not it will be cleared in his case.
Augstein filed a lawsuit as part of Leslie’s bankruptcy demanding that the million dollar judgement not be discharged and asking the court to order Leslie to pay him despite being broke.
On June 29th, Leslie fired back at Augstein’s request and asked the court to discharge the 1 mill along with the rest of his debts. He claimed that Augstein accidentally found his laptop in a German park and he (Augstein) was not defrauded, nor will he be negatively affected financially without the 1 million.
He claims that Augstein simply returned a missing item and he returned it to the local police NOT him–thus he isn’t entitled to the reward money. In short, Leslie is asking that he have the million dollar discharged in hopes he can re-build his financial situation. Read the EXCLUSIVE Court Documents! Courtesy of TheJasmineBRAND

Columbus Short denies any wrongdoing after arrest for public intoxication in Dallas
Columbus Short denied any wrongdoing during a television interview on Monday following his weekend arrest in Texas for public intoxication.
The 31-year-old actor was arrested about 2am on Saturday at the Katy Trail Ice House, a popular beer garden and restaurant in Dallas.
His arrest was the latest trouble for the actor who pleaded not guilty in May to felony battery for a fight that seriously injured a man at a restaurant in West Hollywood, California.
The former Scandal star also was arrested on February 18 for alleged domestic violence assault against his wife Tanee McCall.
'I think there's a time when your personal life gets magnified by who we are as celebrities,' Short said when asked about his legal woes during a remote interview with Access Hollywood from Dallas.
A report by TMZ claimed that Short had been drinking at the Dallas bar for four hours straight and attempted to leave without paying his tab.
Show host Billy Bush grilled Short about his arrest and other legal troubles
A security guard intercepted him and a shouting match turned into a fight when Short allegedly levied accusations of racism at the guard who was also African-American, according to TMZ.
A pair of off-duty Dallas police officers tried to break up the scuffle but Short allegedly started fighting with them, TMZ reported.
'I was involved in no fight,' Short told Access Hollywood host Billy Bush in the interview airing on Monday and Tuesday.
The actor said he went to the bathroom and there was a fight underway when he returned and police believed he was involved.
Short said 'something visceral' occurred while he was handcuffed on the ground 'for no justifiable reason at all.'
'I wasn’t acting intoxicated, I had had a couple of drinks, but whatever, I was angry and I used my vocabulary to kind of fight that,' he added.
Short announced in April that he would be stepping down from the hit ABC political thriller Scandal after three seasons following his arrest for domestic violence.
He said during his interview on Monday that the show 'did not throw me to the curb like trash - that's my family.
'We're a family and I think at a certain point when you're getting a barrage of stories after stories, ABC justifiably would want to distance themselves,' Short said.
He also confirmed that his marriage to McCall was over.
'This chapter is closed. There's a new chapter, and I'm not the author of this, God is... But I know that chapter is closed and I'm excited for the next one,' he said.
