HOT 97 Listeners Blast Obama for Gay Marriage Stance, Manny Pacquiao Comes Under Fire

HOT 97 (NY) listeners flooded the station with angry calls the day after President Barack Obama endorsed same-sex marriage. A majority of the listeners agreed that Obama’s opinion was clearly politically motivated, and intended to score points with the gay community.

A rumor is going around that Obama met with influential and powerful gay donors at the home of actor George Clooney, where Obama received millions in donations and a promise to deliver gay votes if Obama endorsed same-sex marriage.

Mr. Obama has consistently said he agreed with gay unions, but not same-sex marriage.

According to Fox News, callers to the popular urban station expressed disappointment in Obama, with some saying the president lost their votes.

LeBron James Jr. Youngest Exec in NBA History

LeBron James Jr. may be youngest NBA exec in history, according to USA Today. The 7-year-old, nicknamed “Bron Bron” by his parents, was given a front office job with his dad’s Miami Heat NBA franchise. The distinction was awarded with a court side seat in the NBA executives’ section of the American Airlines Arena.

Junior was sitting court side when his dad, LeBron, accepted his Most Valuable Player trophy during the game 1 victory over the hapless Indiana Pacers in the 2nd round of the playoffs on Sunday. The youngster who turns 8 on October 6 looked snazzy in a tailored suit and tie. It still isn’t clear what Bron Bron’s title is (or his pay scale), but it probably involves a lot more than just pushing paper clips around his desk. Good for Bron Bron!

If aging rapper Jay Z was forced to live his life out of the public eye, he would probably die. It isn’t enough that the 43-year-old announces he is headlining yet another concert, but he has to do it in typical grandiose style, on the steps of a museum, surrounded by the fawning press. Jay Z is set to headline the first annual “Budweiser Made in America” Music Festival in Philadelphia this Labor Day weekend. Big news…

Denver Nuggets Cut Ties With ‘Birdman’ Amid Child Sex Crime Allegations

To many observers, Denver Nuggets center Chris Andersen is a strange bird. From the full body tattoos to his spiked hair, Birdman, as he’s known to his many fans, makes an interesting first impression when he walks into a room. But one thing people probably don’t view him as is a child sex predator.

On Thursday, Andersen’s Colorado home was the scene of a flurry of activity as Douglas County sheriff’s detectives served warrants and seized evidence from his home.

Andersen has been under investigation since February, when the Douglas County sheriff’s office received a tip from California authorities that child porn was either exchanged or downloaded from a computer inside Anderson’s residence.

After witnessing the delivery of his newborn baby boy in Miami on Thursday, Chris Bosh boarded a private jet to New York City, where he helped his Miami Heat team crush the hapless NY Knicks 87-70 in game 3 of the Eastern Conference playoffs. The Knicks becomes the first team to lose 13 consecutive post-season games in the history of the NBA.

Bosh’s wife, Adrienne, posted this pic of their newborn son, Jackson, on her Instragram page just moments ago.

By naming their son Jackson, Adrienne and Chris joins the newest trend in hip parenting: giving their children last names. My attorney, Precious Anderson-Scott, of the Anderson Firm, also named her 2-year-old son Jackson, and her 2-month-old son is named Davis.
