Update: Lozada Files for Divorce

14 Aug

Evelyn Lozada has filed for divorce from Chad Ochocinco Johnson after 41-days of marriage. I think Lozada has just grounds for filing for divorce seeing as how Johnson was cheating and then head-butted her after being confronted. Then after 911 was called and Johnson was arrested he claimed that Lozada head-butted him despite having no injures to back it up.

When asked for comment Johnson said, “‘I am going to let the legal process run its course. I wish Evelyn nothing but the best, I have no negative words to say about her, the only thing I can say is I love her very much.” I think I would believe that more if he had confessed to head-butting her and apologized. Johnson claims he is refocusing on training so he can continue his NFL career. Although I think it will be a long time before any NFL team wants to go anywhere near him.

With all this publicity I wonder if VH1 should reconsider shelving their reality show . . . it might have gotten them some huge ratings.

Chad Johnson Loses Everything

13 Aug

It has not been a good weekend for football player Chad Ochocinco Johnson. First on Friday Johnson drops the only pass he was given in the preseason opener game. On Saturday Johnson was arrested for head-butting his new bride/ “Basketball Wives” star Evelyn Lozada. Apparently Lozada was upset when she found a receipt for a box of condoms in the trunk of the car. She confronted Johnson only to get head-butted. Johnson claims that it was actually Lozada who head-butted him, although he didn’t have a mark on him.

Just a mere 24 hours later the Miami Dolphins decided to let Johnson go. Coach Joe Philbin says it is merely a coincidence that he is releasing Johnson after his arrest for battery. Philbin had apparently been itching to get rid of Johnson after he proven to more than a handful. Johnson thought he was the star of the Dolphins despite his terrible last season with the New England Patriots. Johnson would barge into meetings and cursed like a sailor in front of the press. Which luckily HBO has caught on tape thanks to the the “Hard Knocks” series featuring the Dolphins.

If things couldn’t get any worse Johnson just lost his up coming reality show VH1 ”Ev and Ocho”(not really sure why it’s called Ocho since he changed his name). Apparently domestic battery is the line that VH1 won’t cross when it comes to reality television. So now Johnson is wifeless, jobless, and even reality televisionless. When reality television rejects you on moral grounds you know you have problems.

No More Ochocinco

23 Jul

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Chad Ochocinco has changed his back to Chad Johnson. Apparently his new wify, Evelyn Lozada, didn’t want to be Mrs. Ochocinco. The name was a reference to his jersey number 85. He’s had the Ochocinco for four seasons. Am I  the only one who is bummed about this? I really liked the name Ochocinco. It made it so much easier to remember him. If anyone should be changing their name it should be Metta World Peace.

Gold Digging Reversed

30 May

VH1′s “Basketball Wives” or as I call it “Anyone Whoever Hooked Up With or Briefly Dated a Basketball Player” just returned for another season on May 28th and the drama has already started. Newcomer Kenya Bell is being sued by her estranged husband Charlie Bell for spousal support. The two filed for divorce in March. Apparently things haven’t been going so good for Charlie since he was dropped from the Golden State Warriors. He is now playing in an Italian basketball league where he earns $100,000 a year. Charlie thinks he can’t possibly live on $100,000 a year so he wants Kenya to pony up her new reality money.

In May Kenya was arrested for attacking Charlie with a box cutter in front of their kids. You would think Charlie would have learned from that not to mess with her. Now Kenya is trying to get a piece of Charlie’s 4 miliion dollar savings account.

Oh the drama . . . it just leads me back to my original thought is anyone on “Basketball Wives” actually still married to a basketball player. They should really rename the show.

Bosh Baby

3 May

Miami Heat forward Chris Bosh and his wife Adrienne welcomed a baby boy, Jackson, early Thursday morning. Bosh flew home to Miami Thursday morning but is expected to back in New York tonight. This is the second child for Bosh who previously had a girl with ex-girlfriend and now “Basketball Wives” star, Allison Mathis. Mathis and Bosh have a rocky relationship with her suing him for being a dead beat dad and him suing her for being on “Basketball Wives.” Let’s hope that second time around works better for Bosh.

It is Game 3 tonight for the New York Knicks and Miami Heat. Although I think the Knicks would be happy if Bosh took some time off but it looks like that’s not going to happen.
