The dead man was shot "once in the chest with a .308 Remington assault rifle from a distance of 18 inches or less."
Life has gotten much worse for embattled NY Knicks point guard Raymond Felton, whose wife filed for divorce after 19 months of matrimony.

As predicted, R&B crooner Robin Thicke and his actress wife Paula Patton have gone their separate ways.
"We will always love each other and be best friends, however, we have mutually decided to separate at this time," the couple said in a joint statement released to People magazine Monday, Feb. 24.
The writing was on the wall when the married father-of-one enjoyed a quick sex romp with a petite blond socialite in a hotel bathroom following the MTV VMAs last year.
Thicke and Patton appeared in numerous paparazzi shots together as a show of unity and to dispute the rumors that their marriage was in trouble.

The Brooklyn Nets signed 35-year-old bench rider Jason Collins to a 10-day contract on Sunday. According to sources, President Obama called in a favor to his good friend, minority team owner and rapper Jay Z.
Normally, this type of signing wouldn't register a blip in the news. But Collins recently announced he is a homosexual -- after dating a woman for 8 years. Now he is celebrated for his sexual proclivities -- not for his subpar basketball average of 1.1 points per game.

Eviction records on file at the courthouse seem to suggest a motive behind Tamika Fuller's demands for upfront cash of $7,500 from rapper Chris "Ludacris" Bridges. Let's just say that Fuller has a history of having trouble keeping a personal residence based on the public records I've obtained. I could go into greater detail, but it's Sunday, and I must save something for my next post.
Tamika Fuller, rapper Ludacris' baby mama, expressed her undying Love and devotion to her and Luda's infant daughter, Cai Bella Bridges, on Instagram.com 2 weeks ago.
"You are the first face I see every morning and it is because of you every day is an AMAZING day! Im so in awe at how advanced you are at this young age! Thank you for choosing me to be your mommy and I promise I will be the best mommy EVER. Love"
But on Saturday night, instead of staying home with her baby, Fuller (pictured right) was courtside at an Atlanta Hawks game behaving like a typical groupie. Maybe Fuller was at the game scouting potential NBA sperm donors for baby #2?

Socialite Kim Kardashian was seen dashing into Cipriani's Restaurant in NYC to celebrate a friend's birthday today. Kim wore her brunette weave pulled back in a ponytail. The mother of one has a good excuse for why her butt size keeps fluctuating wildly. She said that her butt size discrepancy is due to the fat left over from childbirth. Kim gave birth to daughter North West on June 15, 2013.

NBA MVP LeBron James may have fractured his nose when he was blocked by Serge Ibaka during a drive to the basket late in the 4th quarter of the Miami Heat vs Oklahmoa City Thunder in Oklahoma last night. The Heat easily defeated the Thunder 103-81.
James, 29, was actually hit twice by Ibaka as he drove to the basket for a dunk to cap off his 33 points in 33 minutes night. The NBA refs did not call either foul. This is typical of the biased NBA referees who routinely look the other way when LeBron is attacked in the paint by opposing teams.
The family friend who was riding a Jet Ski that ran over 11-year-old Kile Glover on Lake Lanier was found guilty of homicide by vessel today. Kile is the son of singer Usher Raymond's ex-wife Tameka Raymond.

Actress Garcelle Beauvais put singer Beyonce in her place with some well-intentioned advice. Tongues have been wagging about Beyonce's desperate attempts to stay relevant by mimicking teenage singer Miley Cyrus' shocking onstage antics.
The singer who has a 2-year-old daughter routinely wears skimpy outfits while grinding on her male dancers onstage and in music videos.
Beauvais, a 47-year-old mother of twin boys, says she is shocked by what she has seen so far.

The mother of a 13-year-old California girl declared brain dead by doctors says she sees hope in the girl's involuntary movements. A judge and several doctors who examined Jahi McMath independently declared her brain dead on Dec. 12 after she lapsed into a coma following complex tonsillectomy procedures at Children's Hospital Oakland on Dec. 9.
She lingered on life support for a month until a judge granted her mother permission to transport the body to an unknown location.
In posts on Twtter.com and Instagram.com, Jahi's mother, Nailah Winkfield, said the body is doing much better physically since it left the hospital.
