Warren Sapp Arrested For Soliciting Prostitute FIRED from NFL Network
The details in the Warren Sapp arrest ...Cops say two women told police they were at the hotel "as escorts" and went to Sapp's room, where an argument broke out over money.
The women claim the argument turned physical and spilled out into the hallway.
Cops say the women had injuries consistent with a struggle.
Officials say when cops questioned Sapp,"he was questioned and admitted involvement in the act of prostitution, but denied assaulting the females."
Both women involved in the incident received citations from police -- one for prostitution, the other for a violation of the City’s escort permit requirements. Both women were released.
Yahner says the women contacted police officers to report the assault.
The NFL Network has removed Sapp's bio from the official "On-Air Talent" section of the website.
No word if Sapp has been fired from the Network yet ... but as one source puts it, "It's not looking good."
Warren Sapp was arrested in Phoenix this morning for soliciting a prostitute around 7AM ...
Sapp was also arrested for assault. We're told Sapp was taken into custody at a hotel in Downtown Phoenix.
The 42-year-old "Dancing with the Stars" alum was booked just a few minutes ago. Sapp was in Phoenix covering the Super Bowl for the NFL Network.
It's not Warren's first arrest -- he was busted in 2010 for domestic battery, but those charges were eventually dropped. He was also arrested for an alleged domestic battery in Miami in 2014.
As we previously reported, officials made it clear before the Super Bowl they would be cracking down on prostitution.

Bobbi Kristina Brown’s Husband Nick Gordon Banned From Visiting Hospital?
Bobbi Kristina Brown, was rushed to hospital after being found submerged face down in a bathtub filled with water at her townhouse in Atlanta, after an apparent suicide attempt. The incident happened almost three years after the legendary singer Whitney Houston died in a tub. Brown was unresponsive when she was pulled from the tub by her husband Nick Gordon and a friend, who began CPR until Roswell police arrived at the scene and took over emergency resuscitation efforts.
The incident, which remains under investigation, comes a week after a TV movie about her mother and two weeks before the three-year anniversary of her mother’s death, which happened on the eve of the 2012 Grammy Awards.
There are unconfirmed reports that Brown and Gordon fought last week, and the police came out to the resident however when they arrived no one was there. Gordon moved out of the home to stay with a friend. Brown reportedly called Gordon from the bathroom to say she was going to take her life.
Hiphopenquirer.com reports exclusively that Brown’s family (Pat Houston) took out a restraining order preventing Gordon from seeing Brown at North Fulton hospital where Brown is in the intensive care unit.
Brown’s distraught father, R&B singer Bobby Brown, 46, arrived at the hospital around 7:30 p.m. Saturday, accompanied by family friend, director/playwright Tyler Perry.
Entertainment Tonight reports that the family will make the decision to release the news of Bobbi Kristina’s death to the public after she is taken off life support.

Bobby Brown statement:
“Privacy is requested in this matter,” Bobby Brown said in the statement. “Please allow for my family to deal with this matter and give my daughter the love and support she needs at this time.”
Katherine Jackson’s New Trial Request Denied by California Court of Appeals
Katherine Jackson, the matriarch of the talented Jackson Family, has lost her appeal request against AEG Live to prove that they were in deed liable in the tragic death of global superstar Michael Jackson.
Katherine Jackson had petitioned the court to revisit the 2013 wrongful death lawsuit where the jury unanimously found that AEG Live was not responsible for superstar Michael Jackson‘s death in 2009. Unfortunately for Jackson and her three grandchildren, Prince, Paris, and Blanket who had originally sued concert promoter AEG Live, in 2010, California’s 2nd District Court of Appeals denied the appeal request.
ABC News reports that the court said in its decision that they were in agreement “with the trial court that Dr. [Conrad] Murray was an independent contractor as a matter of law.” The news outlet also reports additional statements from the decision:
“The evidence fails to establish a triable issue that AEG had the right to control the manner and means of Dr. Murray’s treatment of Michael. AEG never instructed Dr. Murray on how to treat Michael, and no evidence was presented that AEG had the right to control Dr. Murray’s treatment of Michael.”
New York Daily News says the ruling noted the concert promoter had “hired Murray at Jackson’s insistence” and that the lower court’s “jurors seemed to understand the case and did not appear confused by jury instructions or the verdict form.”
At this time, no official statement responding to the court’s decision had been released from Jackson’s attorneys or from Jackson herself.
David Oyelowo DISHES ON Oscar-Snub, Says Hollywood Only CELEBRATES "Subservient" Black Characters
"Selma" star David Oyelowo called out Hollywood during an appearance at the Santa Barbara International Film Festival on Sunday. When he was asked about his Oscar-snub, David took Hollywood to task, claiming Black actors are only awarded when they play subservient roles. His full comment:
"We’ve just got to come to the point whereby there isn’t a self-fulfilling prophecy—a notion of who black people are—that feeds into what we are celebrated as, not just in the Academy, but in life generally. We have been slaves, we have been domestic servants, we have been criminals, we have been all of those things. But we have been leaders, we have been kings, we have been those who changed the world.
Those films are so hard to get made. People have often said to me, ‘Why has it taken so long?’ I mean, [King] was assassinated almost 50 years ago. There has been no film where Dr. King has been the center of his own narrative until now. That’s because up until 12 Years A Slave and The Butler did so well, both critically and at the box office, films like this were told through the eyes of white protagonists because there is a fear of white guilt.
So you have a very nice white person who holds black people’s hands through their own narrative. We don’t want to see that pain again, so you don’t even go into what that pain was in an authentic way. Both of those things are patronizing to the audience. You can’t have people curating culture in this way when we need to see things in order to reform from them."
David's comments are shocking...but perhaps Hollywood (and the rest of the viewing public) need a wake-up call. Do you agree with his thoughts on white guilt?
Suge Knight OFFICIALLY Charged With MURDER & Attempted Murder, $2.2 Million Bail REVOKED
It appears Suge Knight could be facing some serious time if he’s convicted of the fatal hit-and-run incident that he allegedly was involved in last week.
Hip Hop mogul Marion “Suge” Knight (above, previous mugshot circa 2008) has officially been charged with murder and attempted premeditated murder after he ran over two men, resulting in the death of his supposed friend/business partner, 55-year-old Terry Carter, and injuring another “friend” named Cle Shaheed "Bone" Sloan.
According to reports, the Death Row founder has also been charged with additional felonies including, hit-and-run resulting in death and hit-and-run resulting in injury.
A little back story….On Thursday around 3PM PST, Suge allegedly rolled up on a promotional shoot for the Straight Outta Compton film when some type of altercation erupted. It resulted in Suge gunning his vehicle, rolling over TWO pedestrians and then speeding away. His lawyer James Blatt claims his client was trying to escape after he was supposedly attacked by the two men.
Witnesses on the scene tell a different story. They believe the hit-and-run was intentional and so does the late victim’s family. Now the prosecutor is following suit based on the evidence. We hear investigators were able to obtain video footage, which captured a portion of what really happened last Thursday.
Friday morning, Suge turned himself in to the L.A. County's Sheriff's Department in West Hollywood and he was accompanied by his attorney.
Hours before his official indictment, his $2.2 million bail was revoked. Sheriff's Department spokeswoman Nicole Nishida revealed to the L.A. Times why his bail was retracted, which include, “possible flight risk, three-strike candidate, possible witness intimidation issues and his criminal past.”
It's reported if he's convicted of these charges, he could possibly face life in prison.
Robin Williams' widow Susan Schneider 'fights his three children over personal property left in the late comedian's will'
Robin Williams' widow Susan Schneider has filed a lawsuit against the late comedian's three children in a fight over property left in his will, TMZ report.
The site reports that Schneider has filed legal documents complaining someone entered the house she shared with Williams days after his death - following his tragic suicide in August last year - and removed belongings that she felt entitled to.
The New York Times have reported that the court documents were filed in December and January in a bitter legal dispute over his estate.
She is also said to have revealed that once she started legal proceedings, 'certain home-related services were canceled' including a newspaper delivery.
However, TMZ report that his children Zak, 31, Zelda, 25, and Cody Williams, 22, tell a different story and have accused Schneider of attempting to 'money grab' and ignore the 'plain language of his will and trust'.
Sources tell the site that his children believe Schneider is trying to 'redefine' aspects of the will to suit her, despite Williams being clear in his will that he left behind most of his property to his children.
Some of the items left to the three children include his 1998 Oscar for the movie Good Will Hunting as well as other memorabilia from his films.
After two failed marriages which reportedly cost him $30 million, Williams ensured that he and his third wife Schneider signed a prenup agreement, and is not certain if she will continue to reside in the home they shared together.
Sources tell TMZ that his children acknowledge Schneider has the right to keep items that she accumulated with Williams during their marriage, but believe she is trying to alter some of the terms listed in the will.
According to the site, they claim she is trying to 'redefine the word jewelry' to keep a watch that belonged to Williams.
The report in The New York Times revealed that Schneider's papers assert as she lost 'her husband through a shocking and emotionally charged event,' she had not been 'given time to grieve her loss free from the frenetic efforts to interfere with her domestic tranquillity.'
Jennifer Lopez lists her NINE bedroom $17m mansion that is in the same Hidden Hills community as Kim Kardashian and Kris Jenner
Her sprawling white mansion with scenic views in Hidden Hills was one of the finest in the area and her neighbors weren't too bad either - Kim Kardashian and Kris Jenner lived down the street in separate properties.
But Variety reported over the weekend that Jennifer Lopez wants to sell her $17m mansion that includes nine bedrooms and 13 bathrooms.
'She felt it was too far from where the studios are. To go to the set of American Idol is like an hour drive. It just became too much.'
It is not known where the 45-year-old The Boy Next Door beauty will move to, but in the past she has lived in Beverly Hills.
The property - which was purchased in 2009 for $8.2m - sits on over three acres and has stunning views of the valley below and the LA cityscape.
The 17,129-square-foot mansion was built in 1993 and is a Traditional style.
The home was featured in a recent photo shoot with People magazine where J-Lo posed with her children Max and Emme, and her two dogs. It was also shown off in Veranda magazine in 2011.
There is a separate wing for work or entertaining.
Inside the main part of the mansion are formal and informal living rooms, a dining room that can seat 12 and a master suite with a sitting area and private balcony.
The mansion has a recording studio, a dance studio/gym, a 20-seat theater, a saloon/lounge with a bar and nanny’s quarters.
Ginuwine Scores Legal Victory Against Ex-Manager, Judge Throws Out $250K Lawsuit Against Singer
Ginuwine (real name Elgin Baylor Lumpkin) scored a huge legal victory against his ex-manager with a federal court judge siding with the singer and throwing out the $250K lawsuit filed against him,
Music producer Robert Reives reportedly filed a federal lawsuit against the singer – accusing him of screwing him out of over $250K in royalties for his debut album, “The Bachelor“.
Reives claimed that Ginuwine signed a $1.25 mil deal with Sony and he was to be paid commission on the deal for him. Ginuwine blasted his former producer claiming he wasn’t owed anything and had
been paid in full. The singer’s legal team also informed the court that Ginuwine was on the verge of bankruptcy following his divorce and he owed hundreds of thousands in taxes.
On January 20th, the federal court judge came back with his decision.
The order stated the evidence presented showed that the management agreement in which Reives claims he is owed the royalties on was mutually abandoned by both parties back in 1996.
The judge notes that Ginuwine became frustrated with Reives following the release of his debut album and he believed he was unprofessional. According to the singers deposition he had his label pay a 1% royalty on his album to Reives — to essentially end the relationship and pay him out. Following the payment, the two agreed to end their working relationship and Ginuwine hired a new manager … who helped him negotiate a new more profitable deal with his label. The judge says that upon learning the singer had hired a new manager , Reives never raised any issues or took the singer to court.
The order dismissed the entire lawsuit against Ginuwine – claiming his ex-manager is not owed anything. He also awarded the singer attorney fees for having to defend himself in the case.
