Chris Bosh SUES Baby Mama Allison Mathis For Appearing On "Basketball Wives"

Back in February, Miami Heat star Chris Bosh got wind of the rumor that his ex and baby mama, Allison Mathis, was being tapped for Season 3 of "Basketball Wives" and he was extra pissy.  And his nightmare just came true.  The show premieres , and Chris' lawyers have already unleashed lawsuits against Allison. 

 

Deets when you read on....

The third season of Basketball Wives" kicks off May 30th.  And Chris is already making legal moves to make sure his baby mama Allison doesn't get any airtime.  He says she's using their son and his name to "enrich" herself.  So he just filed papers to stop the foolery.

The Associated Press reports:

Miami Heat star Chris Bosh is suing the mother of his child for appearing on a reality TV show called "Basketball Wives," which he said intrudes on his private life. Bosh claimed in a lawsuit filed Monday in Los Angeles federal court that Allison Mathis and Shed Media are trying to unjustly enrich themselves by using Bosh's name and intruding into his private affairs.

He acknowledges he and Mathis have a child together. The suit said Mathis was hired to appear in the third season of the VH1 reality show and wants to use it to become a TV star.

He seeks damages and an injunction to block her and the media company from trademark infringement by using his name and disclosing private facts about his life.

O lawd!  She better take some notes from her fellow cast member Royce Reed.  Because this is exactly how Dwight Howard started off with her.  And now look, she's getting sued for money she wouldn't even make in a lifetime.  One day they'll learn....

On a sidenote, a little birdie told us that even though Chris and his "fiancee'" Adrienne Williams are technically already married on paper, their wedding actually isn't until this summer.

Pics and updates on Kelly Rowland's new album, when you read on...

W magazine is Beyonce's follow up to covering the new issue of Billboard magazine, which honors her receiving the Billboard Millenium Award of 2011. 

If only she would drop this "Run The World (Girls)" vid....

Her girl Kelly Rowland offered up congrats recently as well.  She told media this week:

"I'm so excited for my sister. Nobody deserves it more than she does. Ever since we were kids, we've worked hard, and she's carried that into her solo career."

And speaking of Kelly....

 

She's set to release her new album, Here I Am, this fall.  She's set to release the exact date soon.  And she also dished on what inspired the title of this LP:

"I was talking to my product manager," recalls Rowland, who's currently working in Los Angeles.

Miami Heat Girlfriends Gabby, Adrienne, & Savannah Do Haiti Charity Shoot+Dwyane Wade Gets Custody Of Sons

The girlfriends of the Miami Heat's star trio have gotten glammed up for a charity photoshoot for Haiti.  Pics of Dwyane Wade's girlfriend Gabby Union, Chris Bosh's fiance' Adrienne Williams, and Lebron James' girlfriend Savannah Brinson, getting pretty in Miami this morning, when you read on...

 

Seems as though the ladies have put on their charity hats to get glam for a cause.  Gabby, Adrienne, and Savannah, rocked their Heat for Haiti tanks for a brand new photoshoot.  And all three of the ladies tweeted this morning about it:

Gabby tweeted, "Getting ma hair did at our project medishare 4 haiti photoshoot."  Lookin' cute.

Speaking of Gabrielle, her boyfriend Dwyane Wade was just awarded sole and full custody of his 2 young son, after a long and brutal custody battle with ex-wife Siohvaughn Wade. 

"My life changed in a huge way," Wade told the AP. "Mentally, I've been preparing for it for over a year now. To me, it's bigger than that. For me, it shows a lot of people that you need to fight to be in your kids' lives sometimes. You fight until you can't fight any more. That's all I was trying to be, a father in his kids' lives."

Wow.  That's big.  The court also had some words for D-Wade's ex-wife, as this was reportedly the longest custody battle in Cook County history since 2003:

"This court finds that [Siohvaughn Wade] has embarked on an unstoppable and relentless pattern of conduct for over two years to alienate the children from their father, and lacks either the ability or the willingness to facilitate, let alone encourage, a close and continuing relationship between them," read a portion of the ruling entered by Judge Renee G. Goldfarb.

Good to know that at least the kids can carry on with their lives without the courtroom drama around them. 

The Randomness:

1.  Evelyn Lozada is demanding $20K an episode in order to return to "Basketball Wives."  Right now, the cast is making $7500 an episode.  Until she has a ring on her finger from Chad--who is facing an NFL lockout next year--chick better get ready to hit her mark on set.  WOMP.  Story

Foxy Brown Kicked Off The Tom Joyner Cruise For Bad Behavior + Is She Really Dating Shyne!?

Troubled rapper Foxy Brown is at it again.  This time she P.O.'ed the older folks over in Tom Joyner's camp.  First the rapper and radio host had a tense phone interview, then things got even worse when they met face to face on the cruise ship.  Let's just say....Foxy was removed from the ship and escorted to a plane.  Deets inside....

 

You have to really show your behind to upset "the old school" as our veteran entertainers and professionals tend to have more patience than youngsters who like to pop of at the mouth.  But apparently....Foxy Brown has just what it takes to push a brother over the edge.

Tom Joyner went on record Friday morning saying that Foxy Brown was removed from his "Fantastic Voyage" cruise ship and escorted to a plane.

Now.....because Tom is old school and very professional, he didn't offer up any of the behind the scenes dirt only saying, 

“We put Foxy off the cruise. Let’s just say she got put off.  You had to really act a fool to get put off."

So we don't know what happened from Tom's side....but we got an earful from Foxy on Twitter. Foxy said she felt a little insulted by some of the questions and comments that came from the crew during the interview.  She added that anything "Grandpa" said on the radio was a lie because she got much love while on the cruise ship.  She claims they are starting drama and talking -ish behind her back. 

She ended by saying the best way to handle this situation was to go to Belize on vacation with her "pumpkin"....Shyne.  SIDEBAR:  Is Foxy Brown dating Shyne?

BEYONCE KNOWLES: I Donated My Money From Gaddafi A Year Ago!

The industry was up in arms yesterday about Beyonce, Usher, 50 Cent, and Mariah Carey taking "blood money" from Libyan dictator Muammar Gaddafi for performances, and actually keeping the millions.

 

But after Nelly Furtado came out about giving away her stash to charity, Beyonce also announced that she did the same.  Read on for the deets....

Beyonce performed back in 2009 in St. Barts for the Gaddafi family's New Year's Eve event.  And she reportedly received a million dollars to do so, much like her counterparts Usher, Mariah, and 50 Cent had received from the family at one point.

But with the outrage in Libya and the war crimes of Gaddafi now coming to a head, demands have started flying for the celebs to return or donate the monies they received. 

Beyonce told the Associated Press today that she donated the money a year ago, after finding out about the Gaddafi connection:

Beyonce says she donated money she received for performing for the Gaddafi clan to Haiti relief efforts more than a year ago. The superstar made the revelation in a statement Wednesday to The Associated Press.

Her announcement comes days after singer Nelly Furtado tweeted that she had gotten $1 million from the Gaddafi  clan to perform in Italy in 2007. Furtado says she's donating that money to charity. Beyonce's publicist says she performed at a private party on the island of St. Barts on New Year's Eve in 2009. Once it was revealed that the performance was linked to the Gaddafi family, she gave the money and commissions to earthquake relief in Haiti.

Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi is being investigated for possible war crimes.

So there you have it...

EVENT FAB: Tami Roman, Mashonda, LaLa, Zoe Kravitz, Tika Sumpter, & More Hit Hollywood Events In NYC

The Hollywood and reality chicks were out in full force in NYC last night.  Tami Roman, Mashonda, LaLa, Zoe Kravitz, Tika Sumpter, and plenty others all hit red carpets at various events.  And we've got the pics.

 

Read on for the fabness...

LaLa Vazquez Anthony made her rounds last night in this one rosette shoulder white dress with a ruffle and sweetheart neckline from H&M.  Very Easterish, but cute.  She hit the grand opening of the new GUESS 5th Avenue flagship store, and the Broadway opening night of "Sister Act" at the Broadway Theatre. And she's glowing with her tan from her recent trip to Turks and Caicos. 

Over at the OK! Singles party at Lavo NYC:

Fab chick Mashonda rocked a cute little black dress and gold shoes.  Looking hot as always.

"Basketball Wife" star Tami Roman hit the red carpet in her little white dress.  Looks like she got dolled up with cute hair and makeup this time around.  Wrong purse to bring on the carpet though.

Our fave chick-o-the-moment, "The Game" and "Gossip Girl" actress Tika Sumpter, hit the carpet in ripped black jeans, purple pumps, and a cute hat.

Pretty woman Selita Ebanks rolled to the OK! event.  She showed off her crackle style nails with her demure skirt and cropped sweater look.  Speaking of crackle nails, if you're in NYC and want a fabulous mani/pedi with the crackle nail polish--hit up our friends over at Blush Nails in the East Village.  One of my new fave gems of a nail salon.  Fabness indeed.

The model's been working everybody's red carpet these days it seems.

Good friends Julissa Bermudez and Adrienne Bailon--who seem to attend even the opening of an envelope--hit the carpet.

Over at the Tribeca Film Festival:

Not gonna lie.  LOVING this dress and the look Adrienne.

Actress Zoe Kravitz, who stars in X-Men: First Class this summer, hit the carpet for the opening night premiere of "The Union." Interesting "tailed" dress for her.  But cute white and studded blazer though.

Fab looks all around.

LeBron James' Mother Arrested For Assaulting A Valet Parking Attendant

Gloria James, the mother of NBA superstar LeBron James, was arrested early this morning for assaulting a valet parking attendant.  Deets inside...

 

Early this morning at the Fontainebleau Hotel in Miami, Gloria James was arrested after she got into an altercation with one of the valet parking attendants.  TMZ reports that Gloria was partying at LIV nightclub with friends but when she tried to leave the hotel, she allegedly assaulted the valet.

Cops arrived on the scene at 4:47 AM and booked Gloria on suspicion of misdemeanor assault.   She has been released from custody and the hotel has decided not to comment.

We will keep you posted....

 

 

 

Also in sports,

Former NBA star Allen Iverson's silver Lamborghini was towed for having expired dealer tags.

Allen was stopped in Atlanta last week after the car switched lanes without signaling.  When the officer ran the car's tags he discovered that they had been expired for two years.  This really upset Allen who yelled several curse words at the officer. 

Sources say Allen told the cop "Take the vehicle, I have 10 more.  Police don't have anything else [expletive] to do except [expletive] with me.  Do you know who I am?"

The car was towed away but Allen did return to the scene "and apologized for disrespecting the police."
