Donald Sterling BEGS Now Ex-Girlfriend To “Make This Go Away,” Her Lawyer Says She DIDN'T Leak The Audio!

Amid the controversy surrounding LA Clippers’ owner Donald Sterling and his racist rant to his then girlfriend V. Stiviano, Donald is now desperately trying to save his a**. Find out what he asked his ex and get deets on who might have leaked the audio inside…

Since more audio has beenreleased after the initial audio leak of Clippers ownerDonald Sterlingdemanding his model ex-girlfriend V. Stiviano STOP bringing “blacks” to his games, he’s now desperately attempting to keep more possibly incriminating tapes under wraps.  Don believes his former mistress is in possession of more than 100+ hours of recordings which could be detrimental to his already tainted reputation.

If you're wondering why there "might" be more tapes....a source says V told friends that Don wanted her to record his conversations because he used the recordings to refresh his memory (remember....he's 80!). 

But...after Clippers made a silent statement Sunday afternoon, Donald allegedly contacted his ex-girlfriend asking her "How can we make this go away?" What did she say?  The response was...talk to my lawyers!

Now......V (via her lawyers) has released a statement to TMZ stating she was not the person who leaked the tapes:

"My firm represents Ms. V Stiviano who is a named defendant in a civil action brought by Rochelle H. Sterling in the Central Civil Superior Court, County of Los Angeles."

"This office understands that the currently released audio tape of approximately 15 minutes is a portion of approximately one (1) hour of overall audio recording of Mr. Donald T. Sterling and Ms. Stiviano, and is in fact legitimate."

"Ms. Stiviano did not release the tape(s) to any news media."

"Due to the present litigation and its absurd allegations, which Ms. Stiviano vehemently denies, Ms. Stiviano and this office have no comments at this time."

 

So.....if V didn't release the tapes, who else would have something to gain from this?  ENTER Don's estranged wife Shelly (who sat courtside at the Clippers game on yesterday).  In addition to seeking a divorce from Don, Shelly has filed a lawsuit against V making claims that she stole $1.8 million from Don.  

Hmmm...This is MESSY.  But it gets even dirtier. 

There are reports that V is possibly working on writing a book (she's been posting pictures on Instagram with the tags #RandomHouse and #Simon&Schuster) and the whole "talk to my lawyers" statement may lead to settlement talks.  

We'll keep you posted..

SNAPPING BACK: Cynthia Bailey Calls NeNe Leakes Her "Worst Enemy" + Nicki Minaj's "The Other Woman" DEBUTS At #1

Cynthia Bailey appeared on "WWHL" last night where she called NeNe Leakes her worst enemy.  Watch the clip inside and get the deets on Nicki Minaj's movie debuting at number one.  

 photo cynba2.jpg photo cynba1.jpg

Following the controversial "RHOA" reunion episode, Cynthia Bailey appeared on "WWHL" with singer Rita Ora and tv host Steve Wilkos.

 photo cynba5.jpg

The ladies both donned white with Cynthia stepping out in a Catherine Malandrino dress and Giuseppe Zanotti shoes while Rita wore a Michael Kors suit and Sofia Webster shoes.

Once "WWHL" got started, Cynthia gave her side of the NeNe Leakes fallout (even calling NeNe her enemy) and addressed how she felt about Nene's appearance on "WWHL" last week.

 "I want people to know I was a very loyal friend to NeNe. However, I'm actually glad that she did that. It validated that she was never my friend she is actually my worst enemy. For her to go on national television and say such things it's just unheard of. We're not talking anymore, so that just means now all of the sudden I shouldn't be on the show because you (NeNe) think I shouldn't be on the show? NeNe doesn't control my destiny. God controls my destiny. I was relevant before the show, I'm relevant on the show and I will be relevant after the show."

What does Cynthia need from NeNe? 

"It's about respect and accountability. She never thinks she's wrong about anything. she never wants to admit when she's wrong."

Cynthia also had a few words for NeNe (who suggesed that she be fired):

"First of all we won't even get into storyline because NeNe is the one who doesn't have a storyline. If anything NeNe should be glad that we got into because that was her storyline this season, so let's be clear about that. In regard to pulling someone aside, why didn't she pull me aside before she came on this show (wwhl) and tried to get me fired off the show?"

 

You'll recall that after last night's "RHOA" episode, things got VERY nasty on social media with NeNe attacking Cynthia on Instagram about "flip flopping" on her feelings and the downfall of their friendship.

We do hope that Cynthia (shown above with designer bff designer Kithe Brewster) will be able to patch things up with NeNe.  But it's not looking good....

 

Part III of the "RHOA" reunion airs SUnday at 7/8E. In the meantime, watch Cynthia call NeNe her worst enemy:

Over the weekend, Laura Govan and her man Gilbert Arenas were on double duty as they threw a joint birthday bash for their sons, 7-year-old Alijah and 3-year-old Aloni. Check the fam’s fun party pics inside…

 photo kdpar10.jpg

On Sunday, former “BBW LA” star Laura Govan and former NBA baller Gilbert Arenas held one big birthday bash for their young sons, Alijah& Aloni at the Sky High Trampoline Park in Woodland Hills, California.

The couple (who share four kids together) rented out the indoor trampoline park filled with bouncing rings, face painting and dodge ball.  Fellow celeb friends in attendance included “Let’s Stay Together” actress Kyla Pratt, Kevin Hart’s ex-wife Torrei Hart, Martin Lawrence’s ex-wife and “Hollywood Exes" star Shamicka Lawrence, radio personality Big Boy and others.

 photo kdpar3.jpg

 photo kdpar5.jpg

Gilbert appeared to be just as excited as the kids at the party. He shared some birthday love, hugging up on his 3-year-old son Aloni.

 photo kdpar6.jpg

And he was spotted loving up on his daughter Hamiley during the party. Cute.

 photo kdpar12.jpg

New mommy-of-two Kyla Pratt brought along big sister Lyric and the father of her children Danny Kilpatrick to join in on the bouncing activities. Looks like they left behind their newest baby girl being that she’s only about 9-months-old and not quite old enough to jump on the trampolines.  

 photo kdpar8.jpg

We spotted Torrei Hart and her two children, Heaven and Hendrix, whom she shares with her ex-husband Kevin Hart. Torrei recently dished to TheYBF.com about her messy divorce from her Laugh At My Pain comedian husband. She revealed she's no longer dwelling on the past and has decided to focus her energy on their children and her new career. Torrei is also expected to star on VH1’s reality series “Atlanta Exes” which will debut this summer.

 photo kdpar1.jpg

Martin Lawrence’s ex-wife Shamicka Lawrence was there.  She posed alongside the former wife of Keenen Ivory Wayans, Daphne Wayans. We will get to see what Shamicka has been up to on May 7th when the premiere of “Hollywood Exes” airs.

Laura and Gilbert gifted their sons with two 4-foot tall cakes designed by Larenz Tate’s wife Tomasina Tate (above). Little Aloni was surprised with a giant Despicable Me minion cake and Alijah enjoyed a huge volcano cake.

Big Boy was all smiles as he entered the party.

And Hamiley had a huge grin on her face as she got her arm candy.

SAY WHAT NOW? Laz Alonso DEFENDS Donald Sterling's RACIST Remarks?

 photo LazAlonsoICONMANN2ndAnnualPOWER50PrewQqwWWyMeNol.jpg

While numerous black celebs have come out AGAINST Clippers' owner Donald Sterling,Jumping The Broom star Laz Alonso has stepped on the frontline to defend the embattled businessman....sorta.   See Laz's statement inside....

The Twitterverse attacked actor Laz Alonso after he posted a few tweets that some fans thought amounted to a defense of Donald Sterling's racist comments.  Laz tweeted,

“Why r they makin such a big deal about #DonaldSterling?” Laz tweeted. “He was arguing with his girl who was clearly baiting him 2 say those things @clippers … In arguments of passion & despair people say horrible things they dont truly feel @clippers @ESPNLosAngeles #DonaldSterling … Making racial comments when either #roadraging or #arguing with a lover does not count!!! #Relax #emotions #passion @NBA @ESPNLosAngeles … Everybody acts holier than thou until u do the same. Dude was feeling insecure. End of story.”

After fans began attacking him on his timeline, Laz offered a few follow up tweets that revealed he WAS NOT defending Donald, but wanted to offer a different perspective (in 140 characters or less) about intimate conversations between two adults.  

He tweeted, 

Lets take 4 example all the people calling names & being rude when I'm trying 2 hav a discussion. Do ur words right now define who u are?

He added, 

Have u ever said something in an argument w ur lover & apologized afterwards? Emotions r high when ur in love. That distinction was my point

 

As Laz's conversation with his Twitter followers, do you agree that it is NOT wise to form an opinion about someone based on one conversation/discussion.  

 

SPEAK ON IT?

In an interview airing on Access Hollywood on Tuesday, Porsha Williams speaks out about the"RHOA" reunion fight and what led to her outrage.  After the incident says, "I had regrets immediately after.  "I saw the hate. I saw the anger. I saw all of that in Kenya's eye that moment. And I felt threatened, honestly I did, [the scepter] was a weapon."

Porsha also made remarks about her approach to reality tv versus some of her co-stars. "For Kenya, she looks at this as a job. It's a show to her; it's just entertainment...So she doesn't take anything seriously . . .Here I am living this real life and here she is portraying one."

And for the first time, she calls Kenya a bully.  "It's not about team Porsha....I appreciate the love, but understand the deeper thing that's going on here, it's bullying. Bullying can happen as an adult, it can happen as a child, in college, or your work place, everywhere."

RHOA NEWS: Apollo Nida OPENS UP On Pending Litigation & Marriage To Phaedra + Cynthia Bailey's OPEN LETTER On Friendship Gone Wrong

 photo apollo-cover.jpg

In RHOA news, Apollo Nida and Cynthia Bailey are opening up about the storylines that have caught the nation's attention:  his alleged crimes and her failed friendship with NeNe Leakes.  More inside...

 

In an exclusive interview with Sister2Sister Magazine, Apollo Nida, husband of "RHOA" star Phaedra Parks opened up (for the first time) about his legal drama and his marriage to Phaedra. Here are the highlights:

On his upbringing:
“My mom OD’d on heroin, actually in front of me when I was about 7”

On turning to religion while in prison (he was locked up for 6 years for racketeering)
“I studied three religions when I was down: Buddhism, Islam and Christianity. I also led a ministry when I was in there, like a congregation.”

On falling for Phaedra:
“I really admired everything that she did as a woman. I think that we have lost sight of the true picture, which is that we did take an oath to God and we did build a family and a brand. Whatever has come of this reality fiasco, we have had two beautiful children, and at the end of the day, I only wish her the best.”

WIll their marriage last:
“I can’t say if it’s going to last. But I hope that it does…I definitely love her.I’ve grown to love her more.”

Is he nervous about facing serious charges of bank fraud and identity theft:
“I don’treally get nervous. And this is not just boasting or bragging. Phaedra – I’m sure she’s nervous because at the end of the day, I’m putting my career in jeopardy.”

 

In UPTOWN Magazine.....

 photo cynhhl.png

Cynthia Bailey penned an open letter to UPTOWN Magazine about her failed friendship with NeNe Leakes (in reponse to the RHOA Reunion and her "WWHL" appearance).  

Here's a snippet:

Since the airing of the Watch What Happens Live episode featuring my fellow Real Housewives of Atlanta cast member Nene Leakes that essentially gave her a platform to show how vindictive and vicious she can really be, I have been bombarded with questions and requests for interviews about my views on what really transpired between Nene and I, and why our friendship ended.

I also have received hundreds of encouraging phone calls, emails, text messages and tweets from fans, friends, family and even high-powered entertainment industry leaders, who find it hard to believe that a friendship, which was mutually supportive could lead to such nastiness from Nene. So I think it is important for me to share my thoughts honestly and completely unfiltered.

First and foremost, the friendship you saw on camera between the two of us was genuine. We were very supportive of each other and talked every day. We even vacationed together outside of the show. In fact, when I joined the cast four seasons ago, I gravitated most towards Nene. She was a reality TV veteran of sorts who took me under her wing and helped me navigate this new territory. I genuinely liked Nene because she was funny, smart, shared a similar work ethic to mine and we both knew we wanted to make the absolute most out of the opportunity we had both received by being on the show. Being a member of the highest rated show in the Housewives franchise opens doors and leads to opportunities that some of us could never have dreamed of.

Now, for most of my adult life I have traveled the globe as a working fashion model, mingling with the rich and famous, and wearing the coveted designs of many of the world’s most admired fashion houses. Yet, becoming a member of a weekly show formally introduced me to millions of people all over the world and brought about entirely new experiences. I fully embraced the opportunity, brought my family along for the ride and opened up my life for all to critique and judge. It’s been difficult at times, but thrilling and equally fulfilling as well.

Robin Roberts REVEALS On “Ellen” Why She Waited Almost 10 Years To Come Out Of The Closet

 photo rrgirlfriend.jpg

Robin Roberts revealed she was in a same-sex relationship back in December. Now the “GMA” host is opening up on why she waited so long to go public with her relationship with girlfriend Amber Laign. Find out what she said inside…

Earlier this year, “GMA” anchor Robin Roberts opened up about her not-so-secret 9-year relationship with massage therapist Amber Laign.

Despite going through very public health challenges (breast cancer and myelodysplastic syndrome) and the death of her mother, Robin was able to keep her relationship a secret until one day she decided to take “one for the team”.  She revealed via her Facebook that she was happily in love with a another woman saying,” I have never been happier or healthier than I am right now."

But why was it a secret for so long?

 photo article-2615628-1D7035BB00000578-484_634x491_zpsb0d3c776.jpg

In an interview airing on “The Ellen Degeneres Show” today, 53-year-old Robin revealed she waited so long because her girlfriend is not a fan of the spotlight.

She said,

"Well because she doesn’t really like spotlight. Like she’s here right now. I can’t get her to come out. You know not everyone wants to be in the spotlight."

"She’s very, very supportive and she’s been right there beside me every step of the way and it was actually the end of the year on my Facebook and I had been thanking my doctors, and nurses, my sister who was a perfect match and rightfully so."

"I asked her I said, I really want, I want to say thank you and in the book she takes the caregivers point of view and it’s really funny that sometimes we didn’t see the same thing eye to eye and I thought it was very powerful for people because there’s so many that care for their loved ones and so to see her side of it and to see my side of it it was pretty interesting."

How sweet. Robin then went on to explain how she met the love of her life on a blind date:

“Mutual friends set us up on a blind date. I liked the fact that she had no idea who I was. She rarely followed sports, so she never saw me on ESPN, and her office mates at the time watched a different morning show … ouch!”

 

The “GMA” host has penned a new book titled Everybody's Got Something, and in the book she has a page dedicated to her girlfriend who stood by her side through everything she has had to endure.

Sweet!

LISTEN UP: Jay Z Says “F*ck The NCAA” & Throws Subliminal Jab At Drake On DJ Khaled’s "They Don’t Love You No More”

Jay Z hopped on DJ Khaled’s new track “They Don’t Love You No More” and had a few choice words for the NCAA and fired a subliminal shot at Drake. Listen for yourself inside…

 photo khaledtrack.jpg

Seems Hip Hop heavyweight Jay Z is pissed off at the NCAA for not paying college athletes, so the rapper put the organization on blast in a verse on DJ Khaled's newly released track “They Don’t Love You No More” featuring Rick Ross, Meek Mill and French Montana.

As you know, Jay Z founded sports agency Roc Nation Sports and is also a licensed NBA & MLB agent, so he’s all about getting his clients paid. There has been recent debate surrounding college athletes getting paid for the large amounts of money they generate for the NCAA and their respective schools.

NCAA President Mark Emmert told CNBC "We want to make sure they get degrees, and that they really have the education that sets them up for life," Emmert said."That's the game-changer here. Not the 3 to 4 percent who make it to the NBA."

Some feel athletes should see some of the profit they generate and Jay sides with that argument. He sent a special message to the NCAA in his new verse rapping,

“Got hella options/Like a college team/ Hit these bootleg n*ggas with the Heismeaaan/F*ck the NCAA, n*gga / Let a young n*gga get paid, n*gga”

 

But wait…there’s more…

Jigga then takes a subliminal jab at Drake rapping,

“Wrong sports, boy, you know you soft as the lacrosse team”

You’ll recall last week, Drizzy hit up a Toronto Raptors vs. Brooklyn Nets game where he threw in a jab at Jay. Talking to TSN commentators, Drizzy made a comment about Jay being too busy to attend his beloved Nets games saying,“Jay is somewhere eating a fondue plate.”

Take a listen to Jay going in on the NCAA and Drizzy at the 3:23 mark below:

In other Jay Z news, The Carters recently confirmed they will be trekking across the nation for their 16-city “On The Run” tour. $1 from each ticket purchased will be donated to the Shawn Carter Foundation to support students. Pre-sale tix went on sale at 8AM this morning. Did you cop your pre-sale tix yet?

Foolery Reaches EPIC Level On "Basketball Wives: LA" Reunion: Sundy's Boyfriend Accused Of Joining Fight, Audience Crashes Stage & Draya Films Reunion SOLO

If you missed last night's BBW: LA" reunion show--which was just as disappointing as the entire season--pat yourself on the back.  But for those who want to know about the ratchetry that went down....and why certain reality stars do not need a platform to spew their venom....check it inside....

For last night's "BBW: LA" reunion show, Moderator John Salley had to go back to his BOXING OUT days to separate the women, the audience, and apparently a man.

Tensions amongst the ladies -- and we use that term loosely -- have been at an all time high over the last few months.  To the point where they are not even allowed to do appearances together...or mention each other's names in interviews.

So last night, all were brought together at Phillippe Chow in Beverly Hills for the reunion show.  All but Draya....who has attempted to wear the Queen Bee crown all season.  The stripper turned alleged mistress turned reality chick who seems deadset on becoming NFL boyfriend Orlando Scandrick's wife said she didn't want to be around a bunch of women who did nothing but made it a point to send her to a place she doesn't like to be in.  She wanted to be "comfortable in her own home".  So Shaunie O'Neal hopped on the opportunity (you already know her mess-loving self did) to blow that up.  She interviewed Draya--solo--for her own reunion portion.

Basically, Draya had the opportunity to talk as much ish as she wanted to with out having to say it to the women's faces and suffer consequences.

Back on the main stage...Malaysia Pargo admitted she and her husband Janero Pargo have been having their issues.  And despite the many rumors circulating they have split, she was still wearing her wedding ring.  And she said when they're ready to say something, they will.

Then all hell broke loose once Brandi Maxiell called out Sundy Carter for being a mistress.  Sundy got super heated....because you know mistresses who are actually mistresses...never like to be called what they are.  One thing led to another and  shoes came off and an all out brawl took place.  WITH the audience getting involved too and crashing the stage (they were messy the whole time to be honest).  Jackie Christieclaims that Sundy's boyfriend 'grabbed up' Brandi in the middle of everything:

“I didn’t see the actual blows being thrown, but Sundy told me that she swung a shoe and hit Brandi with the shoe in her face. I don’t know because I didn’t see it, but I do know that it was straight chaos. It was a free-for-all. People were fighting, Sundy’s boyfriend grabbed Brandi up, you know, and told her ‘you’re not going to touch her.’ She was cursing at him; it was crazy. People were fighting, camera guys got hit by accident trying to film. It was an all out brawl pretty much.”

Chile...

Brandi and Malaysia returned alone--with no audience--to discuss what had just happened and their future on the show (they wouldn't reveal of course).  And Brittish, Sundy and Jackie returned separately to give their last take on everything.  And Sundy still doesn't fully grasp why attacking Brandi for not being able to have more kids to her CANCER TREATMENTS....is beyond "attacking below the belt".  It was quite gross to listen to....and it became even more clear that not everyone deserves a platform.

Oh...and Brittish thought it was cute for her "fiancee" Lorenzo to propose to her for a second time  on the show...to make up for getting caught cheating with some chick in Houston.  Again. 

Sundy tweeted during the show:

Um, ok.  Check out the full reunion show below.

NBA PRESS CONFERENCE UNDERWAY -- NBA CONFIRMS It's Donald Sterling's Voice On The Racist Tape...V. Stiviano Guards Her Grill After Helping Authenticate

V. Stiviano isn't here for the press attention.  Or wait, actually...she just might be based on this ridiculous visor she wore to guard her face while leaving out of legal proceedings yesterday in this Sterling case.

 

Deets inside on the new developments...

With the help of Donald Sterling's (ex?) girlfriend V. Stiviano and others, the NBA has officially confirmed, reportedly, it is indeed Sterling's voice on the leaked racist audio circulating the net.  Yes, we all knew it was him.  But legally, the NBA must confirm the authenticity before taking action.  And that's now done.

Meanwhile, the girlfriend who he engaged with in the racist conversation in the audio, was caught arriving back home with her lawyer yesterday.

Now that the audio tape of Sterling hurling disgustingly racist comments has been authenticated, the NBA Commissioner is about to have a press conference today.

There are also talks of fans boycotting tonight's Clippers playoff game.

Stay tuned for updates.

BREAKING: Donald Sterling BANNED FOR LIFE From ALL Associations With The NBA, Fined $2.5M, Will Be FORCED To Sell

NBA Commissioner Adam Silver's just dropped some major bombs in the Donald Sterling saga.  The outcome of Sterling's future inside...

In a press conference today in NYC, Commissioner Adam Silver just levied the ultimate punishment possible for an owner.  While an NBA owner, based on the bylaws of the organization, has pretty much free rule and almost no one to answer to, the NBA has taken swift and strategic action to accomplish the goal of expelling Sterling anyway. 

While according to the bylaws, an owner cannot be "fired" in the traditional sense by the Commissioner or really anyone, there are other ways to force him out.

Commissioner Silver has BANNED Donald Sterling from any and all NBA related business, functions, games, etc. for LIFE. 

Here's the run down:

-Silver said he will IMMEDIATELY urge the NBA's Board of Governors to force sale of Sterling's Clippers Team.  Owners can force sale of the team (which could possibly result in the disenfranchising of the team itself) with a 3/4 vote.

-The central findings in the investigations of the recording in question is that the voice is Sterling's.  And the hateful opinions voiced were made by Sterling.

-Silver said that views of this kind are deeply offensive and harmful, and it's upsetting that it occurred within an organization that has taken a leadership role in race relations.

-Commissioner Silver apologized to Magic Johnson, Bill Russell, and many others.

-Sterling is BANNED FOR LIFE.  He cannot attend any NBA games, practices, or any business involving the Clippers team.  Sterling is also barred from attending NBA Board of Governors meetings or any and all league activities. (This essentially ties his hands to be unable to perform ANY duties of an owner).

-Sterling has been fined $2.5 million, the maximum amount allowed under the NBA constitution.  Funds will be donated to organizations focusing on diversity and inclusion, selected by NBA Players Associations.

-Commissioner Silver said he will do everything in his power to force him to sell.

-About why the NBA ignored his past KNOWN racist actions, Silver said he can't speak on past actions. When Sterling's current specific actions were brought to the NBA, they have acting on those.  The past legal cases were lost by the plaintiff or settled.

 

There is an argument that Sterling still wins, because when he sells, he will likely make a MAJOR profit as he team is now worth half a billion dollars.  He only put in $13 million ($3 mill of his own and $10 mill on "layaway" of such).

As for us, we are indeed pleased with the outcome.

We applaud Commissioner Adam Silver for taking the absolute most drastic action possible for a Commissioner, who essentially is UNDER the owners. He used his power to its fullest extent.  And we applaud our readers and everyone who spoke up via social media and beyond, making sure the legitimate outcry was heard...and acted upon appropriately.

Here's what's taken over the Clippers' NBA website homepage

*UPDATE* The NBA ballers past and present are speaking up in FULL support of today's ruling.  Check out what everyone's saying below:

 

Chris Paul and Blake Griffin have yet to comment about the newest ruling.

These were the pics from those BTS shots of her on all fours, remember those?

On Instagram, Rihanna joked that the shoot had one rule -- "tan lines."  However, Instagram did not see the humor and the pics have been removed from their site (likely due to their risque nature).  Oh wells......we got them for you!

 

 

On television.....

FROM INSTAGRAM TO NBA GAMES: Nelly & Shantel Jackson Spotted...TOGETHER Courtside At Heat vs. Bobcats Playoff Game

Nelly seems to have a thing for picking up chicks using a simple Instagram hashtag. Two weeks ago, Nelly made Shantel Jackson his #WCW (Woman Crush Wednesday) and now they’re sitting courtside at a NBA playoff game. Check the pics and get the deets inside…

To add another angle to his already “love square” situation involving Ashanti, Tae Heckard and Brandon Jennings, Nelly seems to have moved on to a new “friend” who is also someone else’s old “friend"--better yet old fiancée.

Sitting courtside at the Miami Heat and Charlotte Bobcats Playoff Game 4, Nelly and Floyd Mayweather’s ex-fiancée Shantel Jackson sat together as they watched the Heat defeat the Bobcats.

Hard to see Shantel’s face, but she confirmed she was at the playoff game posting a pic of her Tom Ford boots (below) as she sat courtside with the caption, “NBA playoffs..... Came to support my team. Let's go Heat!!!!! #miamiheat #tomfordboots”

 photo sjshoes.png

Seems Nelly likes to use Instagram to grab the attention of the current chick he’s trying to entertain. Earlier this month, Nelly named Tae Heckard (who recently revealed publicly she's dating NBA baller Brandon Jennings) his #WCW sparking rumors that the two were back together.

Two weeks ago, Nelly posted a picture of Shantel (below) naming her his #WCW with the caption, “#WCW DAMMMMM Shantel aka @missjackson if ya nasty ...!! #TTMX”

 photo nelinsta.jpg

Oh.

Clearly, Shantel saw Nelly’s cry for attention and now the two are hanging out together, hitting up NBA games. Back in September, boxing champ Floyd Mayweather Jr. confirmed he and Shantel were still engaged, but apparently they have called it quits.

In a recent interview with Showtime show “All Access,” Floyd confirmed his split from his on-again, off-again fiancée of four years saying,

“You always want a strong, beautiful woman that you can share your everything with. But I have to go my separate way. She’s focusing on her career in L.A., which is acting. And I’m focusing on my career, which is boxing. Sometimes people can outgrow one another, but we’re still friends.”
 

He then added,

"I just don't understand. A person get to a certain point where they forgot that you are the person that helped them get to a certain level where they feel like they can teach you stuff. “

"You can't teach me nothing, I've been at this level for more than 20 years."

Hard to keep up with the way they pass these chicks around…
