Kobe Bryant and his wifey Vanessa will be back in court. This time its because their former housekeeper has filed a lawsuit. Maria Jimenez, who used to work for the NBA couples, says that Vanessa verbally abused her calling her  “lazy, slow dumb, a f***ing liar, and f***ing s**t.” In the lawsuit that was filed in Superior Court in Orange County, Jimenez claimed that Vanessa accused her of stealing her mouth retainer …LOL WTF? 

Vanessa allegedly “badgered, harassed and humiliated Maria by yelling and screaming at Maria and criticizing her in front of Kobe, the Bryants’ children, employees and other people in the household”. She threatened to quit but Kobe talked her out of it. But her last straw was when Vanessa demanded that she put her hand in a bag of dog sh%t to find a price tag for an expensive blouse that she accidentally threw away. BIZZARE!

Maria is suing for wrongful discharge, invasion of privacy and emotional distress and unpaid wages.
  
Kobe and Vanessa say that the recent lawsuit is bogus. They released a statement through their lawyers:
Loeb & Loeb LLP:

We have learned that a former employee of the Bryants, Maria Jimenez, has filed a complaint against our clients. Ms. Jimenez’s outrageous allegations of improper conduct are totally unfounded and patently false. The Bryants intend to vigorously defend against these untruthful allegations and are confident that the baseless nature of the allegations will be proven.

Eight days after dropping 61 on the Knicks at Madison Square Garden – a record for most points scored at the venue – Kobe Bryant set another mark Tuesday night by becoming the youngest NBA player to reach 23,000 career points.

JAMAL ANDERSON ARRESTED ON COCAINE/POT CHARGES

Anderson, 36, and Mark Daniel Hudson, 20, both of Duluth, were in the same stall at Peachtree Tavern about 3 a.m. Sunday, snorting cocaine off the toilet tank, Atlanta police spokesman Otis Redmond said. Oh my…

Anderson worked as an NFL analyst for ESPN’s “First Take” this past season. The network said in a statement Monday: “He is not currently on our schedule to work. We will announce a decision closer to next season.”

In a new study, it’s estimated that one in 2.7 men will cheat –and most of their wives will never know about it. What’s the number one reason men cheat? 92% of men said it wasn’t primarily about the sex. The majority said it was an emotional disconnection, specifically a sense of feeling underappreciated. A lack of thoughtful gestures. Men are very emotional beings. They just don’t look like that. Or they don’t seem like that. Or they don’t tell you that.”

Why do you think SOME men Cheat? Leave us your comments both men and females! We want to know your thoughts!

Although Shaq may have lost his deputy police badge in Maricopa County for his foul language in his freestyle rap directed at Kobe, he did get something good out of it. Mobile entertainment company FunMo.com is offering free ringtones of Phoenix Suns center Shaquille O’Neal rapping, “Kobe, tell me how my a** tastes?” from his recent freestyle rhyme that has since become a YouTube sensation. The Shaq rap ringtones can be downloaded for free now at http://www.FunMo.com. Bufoonery I tell ya!

If you missed Shaq’s infamous freestyle, here you go:

Shaq is paying the consequences of his infamous freestyle dissing his ex-teammate Kobe Bryant. The Phoenix Suns star is a “special” deputy at the Maricopa County, Arizona Sheriff’s Department, and apparently they want Shaq’s badge back! “I want his two badges back,” Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio told the AP, “Because if any one of my deputies did something like this, they’re fired. I don’t condone this type of racial conduct.” As previously reported, a youtube clip of Shaq’s freestyle at a New York Club Sunday night surfaced on the web. O’Neal teased Kobe and the Lakers’ for failing to win a championship after he was traded from the team in 2004. In the rhyme, Shaq blamed Kobe for ruining his marriage when he told cops in his rape case that he “should have done what Shaq does … Shaq would pay his women not to say anything.”      

TMZ caught up with NAS in LA and they asked him what his thoughts were relative to the Shaq freestyle diss…Here’s what he had to say Nas on Shaq .

If you missed it, check it out here:

When the media asked Shaq why he did it, he said “I was freestyling. That’s all,”… “It was all done in fun. Nothing serious whatsoever. That is what M.C.’s do. They freestyle when called upon. I’m totally cool with Kobe. No issue at all.”

Should Kobe come up with a “rebuttal” diss freestyle?

After 12 seasons in the NBA, Los Angeles Lakers guard Kobe Bryant has won his first ever Most Valuable Player (MVP) award.  The 29-year-old led the Lakers to the number one spot in the Western Conference, and on Sunday began a Western Conference semi-final playoff series against the Utah Jazz.  Bryant averaged 28.3 points, 6.3 rebounds, 5.4 assists and 1.84 steals during the regular season. He also averaged 33.5 points, 5.3 rebounds and 6.3 assists in leading the Lakers to a first round sweep over the Denver Nuggets. He is the  fourth Laker to win the award, following Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Magic Johnson and Shaquille O’Neal.

According to TMZ.com, Latrell Sprewell and his company, Sprewell Motorsports, have been sued by City National Bank for failing to pay credit card bills since September 29, 2007. The retired NBA star reportedly owes $23,600.12, plus interest and late fees. Spre’s credit card application stated that the former athlete had a monthly salary of $1.2 million. Earlier this year, his Milwaukee home went into foreclosure and his yacht was sold at auction to help pay off the $1.3 million he still owed on it.

Kobe Bryant is taking his game from the court to the big screen! The NBA Star has plans to star in a Spike Lee documentary. Lee will be filming Kobe for an upcoming ESPN Films project which began shooting earlier this week documenting a day-in-the-life of an NBA star. Lee said that we can expect the film to air on ESPN or ABC sometime next year.

Side note, I wonder if they will document the groupies! LOL 

Additionally, Spike is also working on an untitled sequel to the 2006 Denzel Washington suspense thriller, Inside Man.

Rumor has it Kobe’s former bodyguard is coming out with a new tell-all book. In the book, he accuses Kobe of contracting him to MURDER the Colorado women who accused Kobe of raping her.

Here are some notes by the Author relative to the Tell All Book:

Dead Women Tell No Tales is Graber’s unvarnished account of his time with Bryant, first as a discreet bodyguard, then as the fall guy who was accused — then cleared — of planning the murder of the witness in Bryant’s rape case.Part memoir detailing his days spent in service guarding the president of an African nation and Swiss black ops trooper, part graphic repository of his time with Kobe, Dead Women Tell No Tales is an absolute page-turner. It gives insight into the basketball superstar’s most intimate surroundings, replete with sex, lies, and drugs, clearly showing how Bryant’s immoral behavior inevitably culminated in a felony charge that could have sent him behind bars for life.

Those who are in the know praise Dead Women Tell No Tales and Lt. Patrick Graber:

“The account of Kobe participating in orgies and the description of the surroundings is accurate. I attended few of those parties myself…” — Jondell R. Montgomery, Long Beach, 2006

“I’ve always thought Kobe was a punk, and everything that is coming out in this book supports that sentiment.” — Larry Brown, Fox Sports Radio in Los Angeles and larrybrownsports.com

WOW! That’s messed up!

Fox Sports reports that Kobe Bryant returned to practice after sitting out the previous three days, and coach Phil Jackson said he expects the disgruntled Los Angeles Lakers’ star to play in an exhibition game Thursday night. “Yeah, we’ll probably play him, get him out there,” Jackson said after practice Wednesday. “He seemed all right, sure did.” The Lakers face Seattle in Bakersfield on Thursday night in the first of six exhibition games in nine days. They lost their first two exhibition games to Golden State last week in Honolulu. Bryant hadn’t practiced since Saturday because of a sore knee. He didn’t speak with reporters Wednesday, but made his feelings clear a day earlier in his only formal interview since Lakers owner Jerry Buss stated he “would certainly listen” to trade offers for the two-time defending NBA scoring champion. One thing I said at training camp was that I didn’t want this to be a distraction,” Bryant said Tuesday. “It’s our understanding not to bring up the situation and not talk about it. We just wanted to keep things quiet and go about our business. It kind of caught me off guard a little bit.” Bryant asked to be traded 4 1/2 months ago, then avoided speaking about the Lakers until the beginning of training camp Oct. 1, when he talked more positively, saying he was looking forward to the season. Derek Fisher, who returned to Los Angeles this season after two years in Golden State and one in Utah, said he wasn’t sure how Bryant felt at this point and where the team stood. Fisher and Bryant began their careers with the Lakers in 1996. “I don’t know if I’d call it a distraction,” Fisher said. “All we can really focus on is the guys we have right now, including him. Everyone’s aware of his presence, what he brings to the team. He’s such a presence.” “I’m sure for him it’s tough emotionally,” Fisher said. “I’d love to play with him for the rest of my career. Hopefully, whatever happens, it’s for the best for everyone involved.”
