Since entering the league we’ve always known Gilbert Arenas to have a certain mystique about him. Good or bad, he’s always entertaining. Whether it’s his wacky pregame/halftime superstitions or a 60 point outpour, he’s a flat out talented and interesting human being.

Unfortunately for him, the news surrounding Arenas most recently is intriguing for all the wrong reasons. Sadly, he seems to want to laugh off the idea of bringing three guns to the Washington Wizards locker room and brandishing them in front of his teammates and other Wizards’ staff, but nobody will go there with him.

In his defense, Arenas is a self proclaimed goofball and seemingly wouldn’t hurt a fly. Boy scouts, however, pack compasses and pride pins, not choppers.

At this point, there’s no telling what Stern is going to do, but you can bet your bottom bitch he’s going to take action. This incident serves as yet another opportunity to set an example and given the Plaxico Burress error, the Commissioner will likely come down as hard as he possibly can.

One has to wonder though, how hard he can come. Sure, guns are not allowed in NBA arenas (no pun intended), but Agent Zero had a good reason for bringing his: he wanted to keep his children out of harm’s way. Moreover, at no point was the weapon fired and to the day, we don’t know if it was even loaded. He and Crittenton seem to be on good terms and lastly, he didn’t shoot himself.

With local and federal authorities now involved though, the Commish may be the least of Arenas’ worries.

What a way to start off a new decade.

T-Pain is turning into one big ass joke. During the course of one day, Lil Wayne came to his defense (well, it’s actually an interview that’s been sifting out to the Internets part by part), as did Interscope’s newest mogul producer.

Then, to top it all off, we went and found some footage of his asshole arriving to a party in a hearse with select T-Pain signature items (including his big ass top hat and chain) in a coffin, simulating his death, while bumping Jay-Z’s “Death Of Autotune…” so the deejay inside could hear him pull up through his own headphones.

The idea that he thinks enough of the track to reason his own fall and/or failure, is a little pathetic. Why not just go and make a hot song to prove how viable you really are? Instead, this jerk attempts to make a joke out of it, weeks after he embarrassed himself with a wack ass apology (record), due to his misstep in Vegas.

Truth is, no one but you cares about your success and/or failure T-Pain. Buck up homie… or find a cave and dwell in it until you run out of vocoder royalties!!

Lamar Odom may appear to have an emptiness during post game interviews, but that doesn’t mean he’s slow for one cotton pickin’ minute. (How in the hell could someone with a basketball IQ as high as his be anyway?)

Turns out LO is more than the candy poppin’ milk dud you thought the was. Moreover, according to a member of his camp, he “has a set of balls” and they were not referencing the netted bag of Spaldings that rests on the floor of his personal rec room.

No. While the last Kardashian sister to nab a millionaire took aim at his new $33 million contract -picking out furniture, sports cars and sauna types – Odom was doing a little calculating of his own.

Now, weeks after the ‘happy’ couple were secretly married, it turns out there was no legal structure to cement their lavish affair.

Yeah, that’s right. It just looked good. They said “I do,” but really ‘didn’t’ after all…

You just kinda wish they would release the whole damn thing without all the frickin’ desire to keep people in suspense.

If it’s a great interview, it’s because of what he said… not because of who was conducting it.

You can barely hear the questions being asked and again, it’s basically consistent with everything he said at that time.

Shame they had to fold before releasing this video. There’s no telling how viable they would have become had someone had the cajones to drop it when it mattered.

For the record, there’s more talk in this particular clip about how rappers and execs from the East Coast threw darts at him. Pac offers that he was willing to walk away from the drama and said as much in the VIBE cover he was featured in, but was ignited to attack with full force when another issue came out four months later. It was predominantly filled with interviews and opinions from many of the people he claimed had wronged him in the first place.

Unsurprisingly, the world is abuzz this morning over Kanye West’s antics last night and his outburst, this time, had nothing to do with Kanye West. In case you didn’t catch it, West interrupted 17-year-old Taylor Swift as she was awarded “Best Female Video” at MTVs Video Music Awards.

I’ve seen Kanye act a fool plenty times before and sadly, he turned me off once he started feeling himself. I think he’s an extremely talented dude and it’s a shame that he wants to believe he’s bigger than music… ’cause that’s what it came down to last night.

Ironically, this tantrum wasn’t as boisterous or dramatic as any of the ones he’d demonstrated before. It was calm and to the point. He went onstage – in the middle of Swift’s speech no less – grabbed the mic, told her he was happy for her, then calmly expressed himself.

“Taylor, I’m happy for you and I’m going to let you finish, but Beyonce had one of the greatest videos of all time!!”
