Paterno stripped of titles in death…Ontop of Penn State Penalties…

The ReadyWriter

NCAA president Mark Emmert hit Penn State with a $60 million dollar fine and a 4-year suspension during a press conference.

Saying Penn State was too big to fail, Emmert spared Penn State the dreaded “death penalty.” Instead, he stripped the school of its football wins from 1998 through 2011 — which places Joe Paterno behind football legends Eddie Robinson and Bear Bryant as the most winningest coaches in football history.

In addition to losing 1 year in football revenues, the NCAA also imposed a 4-year bowl ban on Penn State. The NCAA will allow Penn State football players to transfer to other schools where they will be eligible to play immediately.

The announcement came one day after demolition crews tore down the Joe Paterno statue on the Penn State campus. Paterno, who died in January, is accused of turning a blind eye toward the child molestation charges lodged against his former coach Jerry Sandusky.

“Juanita Bynum Confesses to being with women”…

The ReadyWriter

Is anybody even following this woman anymore? She has gone from one extreme to another concerning her personal life, which appears to be off balanced and unstable emotionally, mentally and spiritually.

Bynum recently admitted on the V-103 radio station that attraction to women was among her many struggles.

“I’ve done it all. I did the drugs. I’ve been with men. I’ve been with women,” “It’s not a line. It’s my life.”

Because she’s had those experiences and made those mistakes, Juanita said “she’s better equipped to help lost souls who seek her counsel.” Is she serious? You have to be careful to whom you seek counsel from, people.

Juanita, whose marital problems were made public in 2007 when her husband physically assaulted her in public, is now divorced. She didn’t elaborate on whether her sexual relationships with women were trysts or full-fledged relationships, but she believes she was depending on physical satisfaction to fill a void in her life, and that led to more problems.

I was just having a conversation with my oldest brother, Henry, the other night and he said and I quote: “when you’re grounded in your faith, temptations should not be a struggle for you but if you yield and give into temptation, then you’re not strong and grounded in your faith”.

Stripper Arrested for Attempting to Extort NBA Coach Mark Jackson

The ReadyWriter

According to The Smoking Gun NBA coach Mark Jackson was the target of an extortion plot by a stripper with whom Jackson carried on an extramarital affair.

The extortion attempt culminated this week with the arrests of the stripper, Alexis Adams, and her alleged co-conspirator, ex-convict Marcus Shaw.

Adams and Shaw are accused of trying to extort a six-figure payment from Jackson in return for not “selling the graphic photos of Jackson to the “vultures of the media.”

The compromising photos were sent by Jackson to Adams about six years ago during the course of an affair that lasted less than a year, according to affidavit sworn by FBI Agent Beth Alvarez. Some of the images showed Jackson “without any clothing and of V1’s genitalia.”

At the time of the affair, Adams “worked as a dancer in gentlemen’s club in New York,” reported Alvarez. Records show that Adams (pictured above) is now a licensed esthetician and recently opened a day spa. When he met Adams, Jackson was working as an announcer with the New Jersey Nets, having retired several years earlier after a 17-season NBA career. He was hired last June as head coach of the Oakland-based Warriors.

Adams, freed from custody after posting $25,000 bond, did not respond to messages sent to two e-mail accounts and her business’s Facebook page. Shaw, a convicted felon, is jailed in advance of a detention hearing scheduled for today. Prosecutors contend that he is a flight risk and a danger to the community, and should be locked up prior to trial.

Mark Jackson, a father of four, has been married for nearly 22 years to singer Desiree (Mama I wanna sing) Coleman, with whom he serves as co-pastor of the True Love Worship Center in Los Angeles.

Jackson regrets the affair and chose his wife and marriage over the stripper.

“Chris Brown and Drake fight over Rihanna at a Club”…Seriously??

The ReadyWriter

It’s obvious that money and fame can’t buy you class.

A beef over platinum-selling singer Rihanna sparked a bloody, bottle-throwing melee between her ex-boyfriends Chris Brown and Drake in a Manhattan nightclub, police sources said. The pre-dawn brawl, involving the two chart-topping stars and their posses, left Brown sporting a nasty gash on his chin around 4 a.m.

Thursday inside crowded Club W.I.P. in SoHo, Brown reportedly took a bottle and a punch to his face from Drake near the end of the birthday celebration for Javon Smith, manager of singer/songwriter Ne-Yo. The violence started with a gesture of good will, as the often-volatile Brown sent a bottle of champagne to hip-hop star Drake’s table, police sources said. The rapper had the bubbly returned to Brown with a note reading, “I’m still fucking Rihanna” — and all hell broke loose, the sources said.

Drake’s 15-member entourage, a dozen pals and three security officers peeled off their shirts as the fighting kicked into gear, a witness told police. Bottles and ice flew through the air as the crowd ducked and ran for cover.

Drake had arrived only 45 minutes before the throw down started, another witness told the Daily News. The mood shifted after Drake walked in like “a thug vibe,” according to the witness. Prior to that, the 23-year-old Brown was “low-key, keeping to himself, partying, dancing,” the witness said.

Stars including Mary J. Blige, Maxwell, fabulous and hoops star Tony Parker were among those at the bash earlier in the evening.

Brown and Rihanna were reportedly reheating their romance in recent weeks. Drake dated the sultry singer after Brown left her bloodied and bruised in a 2009 attack.

Brown remains on probation for the beating, and was ordered to undergo a year of counseling for his violent behavior.

A statement from Brown’s rep insisted the R&B singer was an innocent victim who is cooperating with the NYPD investigation.

“Chris and his friends were victims of a brutal attack last night at W.I.P.,” the statement said. “They sustained several injuries.” Brown was clocked with a bottle and punched in the face by Drake to ignite the brawl, according to the web site GlobalGrind.com. The report included a photo (pictured here) of the trashed night club with broken glass strewn across the floor. 

Brown posted a picture of his gashed chin on Twitter accompanied by a series of insults directed at Drake and his crew. “How u party wit a rich nigger that hate?” Brown wrote. “Lol … Throwing bottles like girls? #shameonya!”

In another, he mocked Drake’s crew for “hiding in the bathroom” and standing “behind security.” The photo and tweets were later removed.

Petty and definetly tacky as rappers/dancers and/or entertainers.

MegaChurch Pastor, Creflo Dollar was arrested last night!

The ReadyWriter

Pastor Dollar was arrested in Fayette County Georgia last night on a simple battery charge…

A CBS news team learned that Dollar was booked into the county jail at 2 a.m. A judge set Dollar’s bond at $5,000 during a morning hearing.

“I just love my kid. Love ‘em. Same problem every parent’s going through,” Dollar said as he was leaving jail Friday morning.

Police have not released any details on the victim or the circumstances of the arrest. But according to a police report, Dollar’s daughter called police to say that her father attacked her after they argued about whether the daughter could attend a party.

The report says Dollar choked his daughter, then threw her to the ground, punched her and hit her with his shoe. The responding officer noticed a scratch on the daughter’s neck near her throat; the daughter said her father gave her the scratch during the fight.

When police interviewed Dollar, he said he tried to restrain his daughter when she “became very disrespectful” after he told her she couldn’t go to the party, according to the report. Dollar admitted to spanking his daughter and wrestling her to the floor, but said it was because she hit him.

Pastor Dollar posted bond this morning.
