Damn that Henny got ni$@@as making bad decisions, like Kayne
R.I.P. Steve McNair, but this is bigger than the loss of a good man and a better QB. You are getting played bro, and you only have a few more days to come to your senses. We tried to warn you earlier, but you didn’t listen, so we will try this again.
Kim and Khloe at Australian Fashion show. Look at Khloe's face. That is the one that you will be waking up to every day....(except when you are on the road and you have your other jumpoffs, or by yourself, which you will come to enjoy....
I really don’t care that you are marrying Chyna. That is your business. But, I want you to remember that she has a thing for Black athletes. Maybe she wants to outdo Kim and have a man that actually can win something as a pro. You qualify.
Look at the Donald. He went broke, got rich again and didn't have to give out his stacks....
Not to have a prenuptial for a woman that you have only recently starting dating is a recipe for disaster. Do not forget that you are in CA, which means your sh!t is now her sh!t now too. E! Magazine tells the story of how Lamar Odom got emasculated.
Remember, you are not too far from this EVERYDAY OF THE REST OF YOUR LIFE
Khloé Kardashian has nothing to worry about.
Even at his bachelor party last night, Laker Lamar Odom was on his best behavior with his best bros.
While he decided to cancel the big bash at Les Deux that was originally planned, he opted for a small dinner party at STK with Joe Francis, Rob Kardashian, Scott Disick (aka Kourtney Kardashian’s baby daddy), fellow Lakers Ron Artest, Sasha Vujacic, Josh Powell and D.J. Mbenga.
Kobe stood you up? It’s because he knows you are making a mistake. For all that everyone says about Kobe, at least he has a family and his wife seems to be in charge of the family while Kobe is ballin outta control.
Say what you want about Vanessa, but the marriage is lasting hopefully NOT because of the fact that he is still playing and she has hella free time...Plus, look how cute she is. Marrying Chyna is not a good look for a Laker player in LA. That's not what a player would do
Lamar’s crew was even joined by some Clippers, including Baron Davis, Marcus Camby and rookie Blake Griffin, who just happened to be having their own party at the club.
Of course they came to the party, because they want to hang out with winners. You had the B team at your celebration.
Joe, Scott and Rob held court at a table in the main dining room, while Lamar mostly mingled with his basketball boys in the bar area.
Despite one pretty partyer who approached him, Lamar showed little interest in any ladies. Girls were even banned from their booths at Guys & Dolls later in the night. Way to regulate!
See? This is what I mean. You had Joe F. ready to throw you a huge blowout with strippers, hookers and…well what else do you want? Kobe and more of the Lakers might have shown up for the party if it was this type of party.
They like cars and I bet they like basketball
Or since he is Joe Francis of “Girls GOne Wild” maybe a party like this…
now that is the type of party I'm talking about
The only complaint guests might have?
Lamar was tardy to his own party! Teammate Derek Fisher showed at STK at 9 p.m. and waited for Lamar for an hour before ditching to head home to his wife and kids.
Before he left, though, Fisher said he planned to get Odom a whopper of a wedding present: “How about another [NBA championship] ring!”
After dinner, Lamar, Rob, Scott and some Lakers who stayed headed over to Guys & Dolls, where Ron made a toast to his teammate. The guys drank magnums of Ace of Spades champagne.
Lamar was in great spirits, dancing and taking photos with fans. Before calling it a night, he requested Jay-Z and Beyoncé’s “Bonnie and Clyde,” perhaps as a tribute to himself and the bride-to-be.
Another reason why I dislike what you are doing Lamar. Really? At least play the damn original with Tupac. The damn song is about gun love and Jay f’ed up the whole song. Listen to the REAL song.
Although there was a fight that broke out while the boys were inside partying, a source says they weren’t involved.
Remember that other fight that went down at Guys, between Jayde Nicole and Joe Francis?
Speaking of that lawsuit-inducing spat, Jayde’s boyfriend and defender, Brody Jenner, happens to be Khloé’s stepbrother, who wasn’t spotted at the bachelor party last night.
Since Joe threw the party last night, we’re assuming he’s invited to the wedding. And we know Brody’s attending.
The people making the seating chart should have their work cut out for them.

Then you got put on blast by your jump-off. I have Bossip to thank for the letter and funny picture.
Really? LO, you can do much better
IN THE LAST FEW WEEKS, I HAVE BEEN WATCHING A CIRCUS UNFOLD. NOW THAT KHLOE KARDASHIAN HAS ANNOUNCED THE WEDDING, I CAN NO LONGER BE QUIET.
I HAVE BEEN WITH LAMAR FOR YEARS. YES WE F*CK. YES HE PAYS MY BILLS. YES…… I HAVE AN APARTMENT. YES HE HAS BOUGHT ME A CAR. YES I WAS WITH HIM EVEN WHEN HE WAS WITH HIS BABY MAMA. SOME PEOPLE CALL ME A JUMP OFF. I KNOW WE HAVE A CONNECTION. I HAVE NOT TALKED TO HIM IN A COUPLE OF WEEKS, BUT HE WILL BE BACK. HE ALWAYS COMES BACK.
Yes, you are a jump-off. You give him the freedom to roam like a free safety on Sunday.
I SEE THAT THE KARDASHIANS HAVE MANIPULATED THIS SITUATION, MADE THIS A FAIRYTALE.
LET ME TELL YOU THE TRUTH.
LAMAR ODOM IS A DOG. HE CANNOT BE FAITHFUL TO ONE WOMAN. PERIOD. HE WILL WAKE UP IN A COUPLE OF WEEKS AND WILL REALIZE HE HAS F*CKED HIMSELF. LAMAR IS UNSTABLE. LAMAR IS BIPOLAR. LAMAR HAS GIRLS IN EVERY CITY. KHLOE AND HER FAMILY MAY THINK THEY HAVE STRUCK GOLD – BUT WHEN HE TRAVELS DURING THE SEASON, HE WILL F*CK AROUND. HE HAS F*CKED HER FRIENDS BEFORE THEY EVEN MET. I KNOW MY SITUATION AND I DEAL WITH IT, BUT I AM NOT OKAY WITH THE KARDASHIANS PRETENDING HE IS SOMETHING HE IS NOT.
I DO NOT LIKE HIS BABY MAMA, LIZA. BUT I KNOW HE DID HER DIRTY. WHEN HIS SON PASSED AWAY, HE WASN’T WITH HER. HE WAS WITH ME. HE DOESN’T SPEND TIME WITH THE KIDS. DOES NOT PAY CHILD SUPPORT. OBVIOUSLY, HE HAS LOST HIS MIND BECAUSE HE DOES NOT CARE THAT THE KIDS ARE IN SHOCK. WILL NOT ATTEND THEIR OWN DAD’S WEDDING. HE IS RUINING HIS FAMILY AND HIS CHILDREN’S LIVES FOR THIS TRICK NAMED KHLOE. NBA AND NFL D*CK HAS RAN THROUGH THAT. SIX DEGREES OF KHLOE KARDASHIAN. LOOK AT THEIR GOLD DIGGING MOTHER. SHE WHORES OUT HER OWN CHILDREN. I HEAR FROM HIS PEOPLE THAT THERE IS NO PRENUP. WHAT AN IDIOT. I HOPE HE IS BROKE FROM THIS. BETTER BELIEVE I WILL MAKE SURE I CASH OUT BEFORE ALL OF IT IS GONE. HE DID SIGN A HUGE CONTRACT, AFTER ALL.
Damn, Lamar, I didn't know you were this naive...
HIS FAMILY WILL HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH HIM. HE IS TURNING HIS BACK ON HIS FAMILY AND FRIENDS. PUT IT LIKE THIS, IF YOU ARE BROKE AND BLACK – YOU ARE NO LONGER IN HIS LIFE. TRUE LOVE MY @SS. TAKE NOTE HOW NO BLACK PEOPLE WILL BE THERE. MAYBE A SPRINKLE OF THE ACCEPTABLE ONES THAT KRIS APPROVES OF.
LO, how are you just going to get your business out in the street? Even if the “wedding” is just a stunt for the failing ratings of the show, you are put on front street as a clown. STEP YOUR GAME UP! You are better than this!
Just remember this…not in order, although he was the last one soaking up your fiancees panties….
Khloe, and Derek Ward, RB
that was this year…
This was in MAY OF not 08, but yes of 2009
Then there was Rashad McCants, who more than likely beat the brakes off the box. But, that might have started her desire for basketball players. He is kinda scrubby, so you won’t have to worry about him talking about her on the court.
He was killing it for awhile...
I am not saying that you have to throw on a chastity belt and quit dating, but you should not have the next man’s seed in your shorts going to the next date, like you are Katelyn Faber…
Don’t take it from me, go here to see the merry-go-round.

Being the Dallas Cowboys QB comes with responsibilities and perks. You have the responsibility to win that first playoff game in over a decade. That is your A number 1 job.

Last one hired, first one fired: Bucs and Raheem Morris fire Offensive Coordinator Jeff Jagodzinski
September 3, 2009
I wonder how long it will take them to take down his picture from the team website...
Karma is a B@#$%h. What comes around, goes around. Jags left Boston College kinda dirty, as he was interviewing for the Jets, even though they told him to do so, would mean that he would be fired from his Head Coaching job. He did anyway, and got fired. He landed on his feet quickly with another NFL job with the Buccaneers.
But, look how quickly things change…
Let's see how quickly you bounce back from this one...

The Taoism (Daoism) of R. Kelly: How Rihanna, Chris Brown and Aaliyah share a connection
August 26, 2009
I was driving home last night after a long first day with the students and a coaches meeting after school at 6. The meeting was scheduled just enough to not really allow me to go home and spend any significant time, without having to leave to come back for the meeting. The meeting was actually okay, because they served dinner (which was just pasta, salad and desert, but it was really good and the desert, which I didn’t have looked outstanding) and they gave us some free gear, which I like, except the part that it looks like we are (New coaching shirt, T-shirts and mock turtlenecks) repping Adidas this year from Nike last year. But, free is free and the gear looks good.
On my way back, I was listening to a mixtape (on CD of course, as who still has a tape player?….even though I still have some actual mixtapes) and on this tape it had the remix of Every Girl, featuring R. Kelly. Here is a sample of his lines… (flip the script for more) Read the rest of this entry »
Why Teachers should be paid more….Annette Grey O’Leary accused of being of a Professional…
August 6, 2009
Look, its art imitating life again, as Hollyweird has made a movie about the GFE...
Normally, if someone says that you are a professional, then you would take that as a complement about your behavior. In this case, it’s not a compliment, but is a statement of alleged fact. One of my favorite movies takes an examination of that line, “I’m just a professional…” It’s like they say that to Denzel Washington in order get sympathy from him. All he does is deal them a taste of death….
Teachers don’t make a lot of money. It can be explained for the visual learner, looking at the chart below.
the money isn't really there for the taking....
That is not a lot of money. Meet the assistant principal at Kyrene Del Cielo Elementary School, Annette O’Leary. Now, I am not a principal, nor have my administration credential, but they may not make a lot of money. After the break, see how she tried to earn some extra shekels.
What’s next for Reggie Bush and Kim Kardashian
July 28, 2009
Look at Reggie....He looks disinterested. That is a man getting dragged somewhere...or he is seeking new talent...I think it's a little from column A and a little from column B...
Well, the shot heard round the world finally landed and caused a tremendous uproar on the blogosphere. Reggie and Kim are no more. What will we have to believe in? If they are done, doesn’t that mean no relationship is safe?
I am going to throw the baby out with the bathwater. I am totally panicking now. What else will the blog write about? Well, at least she didn’t kill him, right? I mean, that has to be a positive in the whole situation…. The Daily Mail has the obituary on the relationship
Reality TV star Kim Kardashian has split from her NFL player boyfriend Reggie Bush.
The 28-year-old is said to be ‘very sad’ about the break up which was ‘a long time coming’ according to reports.
Sources close to the couple say it was a mutual decision based on their conflicting schedules.
See, Kim, the difference is that Reggie is not talking about marrying YOU! That was definitely where YOU were heading, but you have to include your partner in the discussion.
The couple recently returned from a trip to South Africa on behalf of the Russell Simmons Diamond Empowerment Fund.
The visit was almost over before it started when Kim left her passport on a plane and was refused entry to the country by customs.
However, after pleading with staff, Reggie was allowed back on to the plane to retrieve it.
Kim, who was once a close friend of Paris Hilton, stars alongside her family, including sisters Kourtney and Khloe, in hit U.S. reality TV show Keeping Up With The Kardashians.
She was previously married to music producer Damon Thomas, but they divorced in 2004 after four years of marriage.
I don’t know who Damon Thomas is, but I am guessing that she outgrew you buddy. The trappings of wealth and fame you just couldn’t keep up with what she wanted. After you, she moved onto (both literally and figuratively) Ray J, the brother of Brandy and R&B singer. But, lets not forget Nick Cannon, since this blog KNOWS he is hilarious, along with Dave Chappelle’s son. Star Magazine puts her dating business in the streets…
Happier times for Kim when Paris was her friend. Get your own swag Kim. QUIT COPYING! First there is a Night in Paris, then you had your freaky tape released....
Hollywood socialite Kim Kardashian, daughter of late O.J. Simpson attorney Robert Kardashian, is caught up in a tricky love triangle with actor/rapper Nick Cannon and R&B crooner, Ray J — younger brother to singer Brandy. Kardashian and Ray J had been dating on and off over the last three years, but the two broke up this past May when Kardashian made headlines for briefly hooking up with Nick Lachey. Kardashian and Ray J rekindled their romance again in July, and Kardashian even appeared in a music video for Ray J’s single “Let’s Play House,” which was shot at a mansion in Malibu, Calif. Ray J was outraged this past September when he learned that Kardashian had been quietly creeping with Cannon.
This time, someone gave you a taste of your own medicine.
I am truly hoping that this will help out all parties. Kim can put out another tape that I will not buy, but will watch 20 second clips of it somewhere to really see if she went through with it.
For Reggie, I am hoping that this will help out his career as a football player. Now, the duo is Pierre Thomas and you in the backfield. You are going to have to shoulder a little bigger role in the running game. With you and Tony Romo on the free agent market, hopefully the returns will be huge.
Amanda Rodrigues kills Arturo Gatti: Is this a message to stay away from the young box?
July 13, 2009
Arturo,
I wish you read the blog. I tried to warn you. This was the most recent warning. Now, you are not the president, but you are famous, and for some reason, fame makes some young women go crazy. Ask Steve McNair about that.
Now you are dead, which is why you can ask Steve about it and compare notes. Where did you go wrong? How could it have been avoided? Those are the questions I am left wondering. ESPN.com gives the sobering news about a crazy young woman who killed Gotti. Making the story worse is that its his wife who is the prime suspect.
SAO PAULO — Brazilian authorities detained the wife of former boxing champion Arturo Gatti and formally accused her Sunday of killing him at a posh seaside tourist resort in Brazil.
Police said 23-year-old Amanda Rodrigues was taken into custody after contradictions in her interrogation and presented a formal accusation against her. Prosecutors will later decide whether she will be charged.
However, various media reports said Rodrigues had already been charged with the murder.
Rodrigues, who denies any involvement in her husband’s death, was the first to find the slain boxer’s body early Saturday inside the vacation apartment they were renting at the Porto de Galinhas resort in northeastern Brazil, police said.
The former junior welterweight champion was apparently strangled with the strap of a purse, which was found at the scene with blood stains, said Milena Saraiva, a spokeswoman for the Pernambuco state civil police. She told The Associated Press that the Canadian also sustained a head injury.
Police said Rodrigues, a Brazilian, could not explain how she spent nearly 10 hours inside the residence without noticing that Gatti was already dead.
Now, this is where I blame Keith Norfleet, since he didn’t do the Sahel Kazemi murder, but with Facebook you’re everywhere in no time….
But, with further reflections, I remember the fact that some Brazilians are crazy. Remember Ugueth Urbina? He was a relief pitcher in MLB from 1995 to 2005. Wikipedia explains why he is kinda relevent…
On November 7, 2005, Urbina was arrested by Venezuelan authorities on a charge of attempted murder for an incident that occurred a few weeks earlier, on October 16.[1] Urbina attacked five farm workers on his property whom he had accused of stealing a gun. The pitcher tried to injure them both with a machete and also attempted to pour gasoline on them. On March 28, 2007, Urbina was convicted of attempted murder.[2] Additional charges included illegal deprivation of liberty and violating a prohibition against taking justice into his own hands. He was sentenced to 14 years in prison.[2]
Yeah, he is Venezuelan, but the bigger point is some of those South Americans are crazy…he knows how to do things big. Machetes and gas is gangsta…I bet the help won’t be bathing in his pool again…
Relationship problems are intrinsic to marriage. the key is finding a way to work it out. If you can’t, then get a divorce. Move on. That is life as we know it, where 50 percent of marriages end up in divorce. But, you don’t have to kill the person to make it happen. Just leave…walk away.
See, that is how you send a message. She might be mad as hell, but you can get away and laugh...
This is why you get up and leave, knowing you are going to be taken care of.
Rodrigues told police she had a fight with Gatti after dinner Friday night and he pushed her to the ground during the altercation, causing her to sustain minor injuries to her elbow and chin. She told authorities Gatti was drunk and that a third party likely committed the crime after he went to the apartment by himself.
Witnesses had reported to police that the couple fought and that Gatti was drunk.
Authorities were told the couple was extremely jealous of each other and that Gatti constantly complained about her clothing when she traveled to Brazil, Saraiva said.
Acelino “Popo” Freitas, a four-time world champion Brazilian boxer, told Globo TV’s Web site on Saturday that he was a close friend of Gatti and his wife and that he “knew they were having some sort of problem and were about to separate.”
They had planned to spend one month in Brazil on vacation.
When others on the outside see that things are not going well, it’s time to start working on the parachute plan. The writing is on the wall. Why go on vacation with someone you are about to separate from?
This is why you will be missed. You were a bleeder, but that never got into the way of you throwing hammers. You fought valiantly, in the face of long odds, where other boxers would have given up long ago.
Clearly, in much better times...
Some people, like TJ Simers point to the bloodlust that we get from the fights. There is something primitive that the fights tapped into. The blood represented the amount of pain and suffering that Gatti was willing to go though to give it his all.
See TJ, I respect this. He is willing to go hell or high water to get the job done. A paper cut would put you out for writing your article, but the blood doesnt stop Arturo...
John Gotti was the Telfon Don, but Arturo Gatti really proved toughness in the ring. The only thing sticking to Gatti is a legacy of big fights…
Where is Russia at? Can you hear me know?
I love Jerry McGuire. If I wasn’t making millions as a teacher, it would have been as a sports agent. The lifestyle and the money that they get is sick. So, when thinking about the reasons why Sarah Palin resigned, we here at Too Old thought that this could be the reason she left…
According to Levi Johnston, it is…for those of you that were living under a rock during this time, Politico explains who he is and what loot the former Governor was talking about…
Levi Johnston told reporters Thursday night that Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin decided to resign from office for the money.
Johnston claimed that in December he heard Palin talking about “how nice it would be to take some of this money people have been offering us and just run with it, and saying, ‘Forget everything else.’”
The 19-year-old father of the governor’s grandchild said he believed the factors Palin listed for her resignation were part of the reason, but were not the deciding factors.
Johnston, the former fiancé of the governor’s daughter, said the offers Palin was referring to came from “books, talk shows, whatever, things like that.”
Who would turn on a reality show about a former governor and her family? oh that’s right, Americans would. We already have more than just the Real World, but for the Love of Ray J and Real Chance at Love, a show about two seemingly homosexuals trying to find girlfriends.
But the loot angle is interesting, since we know that famous political figures earn massive dollars at speaking engagements, book signings etc. Levi throws around some figures to chew on.
The 19-year-old father of the governor’s grandchild said he believed the factors Palin listed for her resignation were part of the reason, but were not the deciding factors.
“I’ve seen how stressful this job was for her, and she came home late at night and things like that,” he said. But Johnston added, “I think the big deal was the book. That was millions of dollars.”
Someone is going to get the money, why not him? Even if this isn’t true, it is true. Do you really think that Sarah is not going to write a book? If it is not about the struggles of raising a special needs child ( which would make a bunch of money IMHO) then it will be about the glass ceiling of being a woman and trying to run for some of the highest offices in the land. Arab money indeed…
Deion Sanders, take us to the bridge…
Gays, be careful of what you wish for…Martina Navratilova is getting divorced and could be liable for galimony
June 24, 2009
I will continue to use this forum as a confessional and I must admit that I feel marriage is not for everyone. In fact, I kinda hate marriage. This is a funny feeling to have when all you friends are getting married or are happily married. When I was the best man for my buddy John, I told him that I had the car placed in a strategic location that we could get to very quick, and I had the car pointed in the direction of the freeway. I even had two tickets (courtesy my frequent flier program with NWA) to Las Vegas. I was ready for all possibilities.
Fortunately (or unfortunately depending on the day) all went well, and I gave the toast after the ceremony was over. But, you have to be willing to divide up all your stuff if it doesn’t work out. Eddie Murphy has been the little voice in my ear, ever since I saw RAW
I post it again, because good lessons never grow old.
Now, you might wonder about the title of the post. Well, individually and as a blog, we were against Prop 8 here in CA. It was a measure that passed, which changed the definition of marriage.
Proposition 8 was a controversial California ballot proposition that passed in the November 4, 2008 general election and took effect on November 5, the day after the election.[1] It changed the California Constitution to add a new section (7.5) to Article I, which reads: “Only marriage between a man and a woman is valid or recognized in California.”[2][3][4]. This change restricted the definition of marriage to opposite-sex couples, and eliminated same-sex couples‘ right to marry, thereby overriding portions of the ruling of In re Marriage Cases by “carving out an exception to the preexisting scope of the privacy and due process clauses”[5] of the state constitution. The proposition did not affect the existing domestic partnerships registry.[6]
I think that they should just outlaw marriage to make everyone equal. I am completely serious about that. If you love someone, live with them and be a family (if you have kids) but the certificate doesn’t mean anything. The State should completely get out of the marriage business. (Unless it wants to get rich, since they charge for those stupid pieces of paper)
The issue for many is the issue of domestic partnerships. The ability to make medical decisions, custody battles and wills are just a few of the problems tha that people in domestic partnerships face. If we just did away with marriage as an institution, then the other issues would work themselves out. The ability to have a will is simple, so get that done. A decent lawyer can handle the rest of the issues.
Dividing up the loot is not only a problem of the heterosexual couples, its a problem faced by all.
- Free at last, Free at last, thank god almighty, FREE AT LAST!!!
Tennis legend Martina Navratilova is being sued for millions of pounds by a former lover who claims she was dumped without warning after nearly eight years.
Toni Layton, 56, who married the nine-times Wimbledon champion in an official wedding ceremony, is demanding a share of four multi-million dollar homes bought during their time together.
Her lawsuit extends to the ‘emotional, mental and physical trauma’ she suffered after being ‘removed’ from 52-year-old Navratilova’s life a year ago.
Layton said: ‘Martina has got a fight on her hands. Without any warning, my life came crashing down around me. I was kicked out on the streets with only the clothes on my back.’
So, she wants galimony…who wouldn’t? You get “accustomed” to a certain lifestyle. One of my favorite rappers of all time, Nas, is going through the same thing. Listen to what Bossip.com is reporting. Kelis, you need to watch who you speak to and what you say, because this makes you look cheap.
Kelis claims estranged hubby Nas has left her high and dry … not offering her a penny in the wake of her impending birth … and she says she’s broke — “I have run out of money.”
Kelis filed legal papers claiming Nas isn’t paying her support, pre-natal expenses — nothing, even though she claims he is filthy rich.
Kelis is asking the judge to order Nas to pay spousal support, child support, all pregnancy-related expenses, and one-half of all medical expenses after the child is born. She also wants $3,500 for the baby nurse after the child’s birth, and $20,000 for strollers, cribs and other baby supplies.
Kelis says, “My survival is based on [Nas'] will at this time. If he does not want to pay for an expense, it does not get paid.” The couple was married in 2003. The baby is due this month.
Kelis says she’s entitled to maintain the lifestyle to which she became accustomed during their marriage — they have five homes, fly first class, go to fancy restaurants, and on and on. Most interesting — “There were many expensive pieces [of jewelry] such as a princess-cut diamond tennis bracelet that was recently appraised for $190,000. My engagement ring is an approximately nine-carat cushion-cut diamond solitaire. I have numerous watches…such as Cartier, Rolex, Frank Muller and Chopard.”
Nas and KelisHer lawyer, disco-queen Laura Wasser, says in a separate declaration she’s asked Nas to ante up some $$$ for Kelis and the unborn baby but he hasn’t responded.
Damn girl, quit spending all that money on hair dye. Get a reasonable stylist and learn to live on a budget. It is not that hard, and million of Americans do it. For Martina, I think that the same principle applies. If you married this woman, you have to split the marrital assets.
This is the second time Czech-born Navratilova faces having her private life exposed in court.
Layton’s claim exactly mirrors that of Navratilova’s only other long-term lover, Judy Nelson, who was also cast aside by the tennis champ, in 1991, after more than seven years.
Nelson, who left her husband and two young sons to set up home with Navratilova, later sued for $7.5 million in a high profile court case, which gave birth to the phrase ‘galimony.’
For her part, Layton said: ‘I was left an emotional wreck, with nothing to show for eight years of my life.I still suffer nightmares today. It’s something I don’t think I will ever properly recover from.
‘But what I want now is justice. Justice for all those lost, wasted years.’
The couple spent the first three years of ‘married life’ flitting between Navratilova’s homes in New Jersey and Aspen, Colorado.
But in 2003 they bought a $2m property complete with white-picket fence outside the coastal town of Nokomis, near Sarasota, after Martina fell in love with Florida on a business trip and then the smaller $1.5m house next door.
Another house down the road followed to accommodate Navratilova’s trainers and friends with whom she practised tennis and in 2005 the added a $1.25m 30-acre farm nearby
It is these four purchased properties that Layton is making a claim on.
But she realises that in Florida, a state that doesn’t recognise gay rights, her chances of success are qualified.
This prompted her to scoff at the tennis legend’s advocacy of gay and animal rights.
Marti makes out she’s a champion of gay rights and sees herself as an icon for the gay and lesbian community. She has publicly urged people who are gay to ‘come out’ and stand up for their homosexuality.’
‘Yet here she is, hiding behind Florida’s antiquated anti same-sex laws, trying not to give me a fair deal for those eight years I was there for her at every minute of the day and night.‘If I was a man, married or not, I’d be entitled to half of everything that she earned during those years together. But because I’m a woman, it seems, rather conveniently, she believes I’m entitled to next to nothing.
‘Marti knew that when she decided it was time to get rid of me and move on with her life. And that is why I am having to sue for a breach of our partnership.’
Layton is also fighting to save a 20-acre sanctuary the pair set up together to save abandoned or unwanted animals, a 30-minute drive from the home they once shared at Casey Key, near the town of Nokomis.
Navratilova is now trying to sell the sanctuary. Layton claims she wants rid of it with ‘no regard’ for what happens to the 100 animals it is home to.
Last year Navratilova, who now regularly works as a commentator, surprised everyone by agreeing to battle it out in the Australian outback with a bunch of Z-listers in ITV’s I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here.
For Martina, you have been down this road before. Your business is not your own anymore. We are going to be in the your business, since your former lover has put it out there to be consumed. One word of advice…If you want to be an advocate, you have to stand up for all. Your ole girl deserves to be broken off with some of that loot. But, it may just be a call to my side of ending marriage.
Jon and Kate plus DATES! (and 8 rugrats sold separately)
June 23, 2009
I still think its strange to dress the kids to look alike...
You had to know it was going to happen. One kid changes the quality of life for a married couple. I definitely know about that feeling. You grow and care more for the child, not really for yourself. You begin to grow apart and then you wonder why did you get married in the first place. When those doubts start creeping in, then you know that your race has been run. That, and when the scandal rags catch you creeping…
The third grade teacher Deanna Hummel, 23 and Jon
For once, reality TV is real. People get divorced all the time. One half of all marriages end in divorce, so its really a crapshoot. John and Kate will be looking for new partners now…it was only a matter of time when you have the Enquirer on your back. The Los Angeles Times provides clarity.
In a much-promoted episode of the hit series Monday night, Jon and Kate Gosselin, the parents of eight children, announced in separate interviews they were separating; seconds later, text appeared on a black screen to add that the couple had decided to “legally dissolve” their 10-year marriage. The children will stay in the house, the couple said, and Jon and Kate will switch off living there.And the show, apparently, will go on. TLC executives declined to comment Monday, but the Gosselins had committed to a full season of 40 episodes and indicated they would continue allowing camera crews access to film the family’s life, just not with Mom and Dad there together.The announcement was hardly a surprise. Viewers of the 2-year-old series had seen the couple’s relationship deteriorate recently, and even people who don’t watch have been exposed to their problems through an endless stream of headlines — “Caught With Other Woman” and “Inside Jon’s Prison” — in the tabloid and celebrity media.
Looks pretty good for forcing 8 kids out of the womb...
Kate Gosselin, of the popular TLC reality show Jon & Kate Plus 8, is horrified by the latest rumors of infidelity. This time it is Kate who is in the middle of a scandal, reportedly having an affair with her bodyguard and family friend Steve Neild.
According to the latest rumor mill, Kate has been engaging in an extra-marital relationship with a member of her security detail. He travels extensively with the family as they make public appearances and travels with Kate as she meets her schedule of media commitments across the country.
Hear what Kate’s brother Kevin Kreider and his wife Jodi had to say on the subject. Uncle Kevin and Aunt Jodi gave a reluctant and sad interview about the deterioration of the Gosselin household.
The bodyguard who is caught up in the mix...kinda looks like Ted Danson for Cheers
The Los Angeles Times continues with its analysis of the problem.
But with the success came their indoctrination into the tabloid swamp. And as the show entered its fifth season in May, the lens has focused less on the kiddie chaos and more on the turbulent marriage.Both Jon and Kate have been plagued by rumors of infidelity in recent weeks — he with a 23-year-old teacher and she with her bodyguard. Added to the turmoil was an investigation by the Pennsylvania Labor Department into the show’s possible violation of child labor laws, an allegation TLC has denied.When the show returned May 25 — after dozens of tabloid covers, blurbs on blogs and snippets on TV gossip shows documenting the couple’s woes — viewers tuned in.The season premiere drew 9.8 million viewers, more than twice as many as had watched the fourth-season finale. But ratings for subsequent episodes have cooled, with last week’s installment attracting only 2.9 million viewers.
Careful Joey! She seems stabby!
“Kate and I have decided to separate,” Jon said, sitting alone on the couch.“I was too passive,” Jon said of their relationship. “I just . . . went along with everything. Now I finally stood up on my own two feet and I’m proud of myself.”Kate offered her own outlook: “It’s very uncomfortable at this point because Jon has a lot of anger towards me and I would love to discuss it with him but he won’t talk to me,” she said. Before the recent strife, they were just a couple trying to manage a set of twins and rambunctious sextuplets. The combination of his cool and calm demeanor and her sometimes controlling and overly organized personality were first seen on the one-hour special “Surviving Sextuplets and Twins” on Discovery Health in 2006. Its success eventually led to the TLC series. It centered mostly on the couple’s home life in Pennsylvania and the idiosyncrasies involved with raising a gaggle of children.
