Knicks Guard J.R. Smith Ordered To Pay $48K For Black Jesus Pieces

. . , , , , , , ,

J.R. Smith needs to pay his bills. The Knicks guard has been ordered to pay $48,000 for a pair of Black Jesus pieces and other jewelry. It’s not a bill collector telling Smith to pay up, it’s a judge.

Reports TMZ:

Don’t mess with Black Jesus … or YOU WILL PAY … just ask Knicks stud J.R. Smith, whose A$$ just lost a $48,000 lawsuit involving a diamond necklace that features an Afro-American rendition of the messiah. A jewelry company called Lemmerman’s sued Smith, claiming he ordered a bunch of bling back in 2010 — including a diamond chain, two Black Jesus pendants and some earrings — totaling $25,500 … but never paid. We’re told one Jesus pendant and chain cost roughly $15,000 alone. Lemmerman’s sued for $48,101 — which includes the jewelry bill plus interest and attorney’s fees — but Smith never responded to the suit … so a judge ruled in Lemmerman’s favor. Smith has now been ordered to pay the $48,000 asap … or else. Calls to Smith’s people weren’t returned.

Why Will Smith Turned Down “Django Unchained”

. . , , , , , , ,

Will-Smith-After-Earth.jpg

Will Smith has begun the promo run for his up-coming sci-fi epic “After Earth” but he can’t jump ahead to the future just yet. In a conversation with EW the megastar answered once and for all why he turned down the titular role in last year’s slavery themed revenge western, “Django: Unchained.” Jamie Foxx was eventually given the role of the freed slave turned bounty hunter, but it was originally offered to Smith. The “Men In Black” star admits that he felt the story was “brilliant” but that it was “Just not for me.” But why? “Django wasn’t the lead, so it was like, I need to be the lead. The other character was the lead,” he confessed, referring to Christopher Waltz Dr. King . Smith added that he wanted Django to have more control over his fate. “I was like, ‘No, Quentin, I need to kill the bad guy!” Can you blame him? After this many years in Hollywood Will Smith has earned the right not to play second fiddle to anyone. Ever since it was revealed that Smith turned down “The Matrix” to do “Wild Wild West” every script he’s passed on has come under scrutiny. But we’re pretty sure that he took one look at who ultimately took down the slave master and realized that Django wasn’t quite what it was purported to be.

Future’s Baby Mama Says He Lied About Income, Wants More Cash

. . , , , , , , ,

Rappers, careful what you boast and brag about. Future’sfirst baby mama is taking the struggle falsetto king back to court over child support payments. She wants more cash. In early January, Future came to terms with Jessica Smith over child support payments. A DNA test proved Future, born Nayvadius Wilburn Cash, was the father of a 10-year-old son. Citing a monthly income of $16,516, Future agreed he would pay $1,662 a month in child support. However, Smith alleges that shortly thereafter the “Same Damn Time” rapper claimed to carry 25 large on his person at all times, reports TMZ. Note: This not that safest things to do in the hood, just saying. Smith felts that she was duped, and immediately filed paperwork to get their child support terms updated. Smith claims Future makes $50K a month, which if the math stays the same would mean about $5,000 in child support payments.

A couple of points to be made here. Rappers lie about their net worth all the time. But Future is making bank considering he is a hot commodity in the game and even has penning hits songs for Rihanna to his credit. Also worth noting, it seems like Future didn’t know about his son until Smith came out the woodwork and sued him last year. Where was she when he was broke? But hey, all the money will be going to the child, right? Just saying. Future’s new album, Future Hendrix, is due out later this year.

Michael Jordan Paternity Case Thrown Out Following Request From Accuser

. . , , , , , , ,

Michael Jordan is used to winning in the game of basketball, and it appears that his good luck has trickled over into a life situation. The a paternity test brought on by a woman claiming that Jordan is the father of her 16-year-old son, has been thrown out, TMZ reports. Pamela Smith, the woman accusing Jordan of fathering her son, filed paperwork in Georgia to have the case dismissed. Her request was granted “without prejudice,” which gives her the opportunity to re-file, if she likes. While Smith has yet to release details behind the decision to have the case dismissed, it may point to a settlement reached between both parties. Not long after the story was announced, Jordan denied being the father of Grant Pierce Jay Jordan Reynolds, who goes by the name Taj, and aspires to be a rapper. “Public records show that the paternity of the child was established in a prior case in this same court many years ago and that Michael Jordan is not the father,” Jordan’s spokeswoman, Estee Portnoy, said. “He also filed a counterclaim seeking sanctions for the false claims made against him. It is unfortunate that well-known figures are the target of these kind of claims. Michael Jordan will vigorously defend himself and his reputation.” According to the lawsuit, Smith demanded that Jordan take a paternity test immediately, driving the belief that she was confident in the paternity results. She claims to have met the basketball star in the late ’80s. Jordan, and his ex-wife, Juanita, divorced in 2006, after reaching a $168 million divorce settlement. He is currently engaged to Cuban model, Yvette Prieto.

Michael Jordan’s Alleged “Pamela Smith” Baby Mama Heads to Court Today!

Pamela Smith, the woman who accused NBA legend Michael Jordan of fathering her son had her day in court today.   Smith was due to go before Judge Bensonetta Tipton Lane at 2 p.m. today. Smith’s attorney, Randy Kessler, is confident that Judge Tipton Lane won’t dimiss the case.

According to Rollingout Magazine

Kessler said in a statement to press, “We are honored to have been asked to represent Ms. Smith who has been unable to resolve this matter herself.  The vicious statements made in Mr. Jordan’s legal documents will be responded to in her own forthcoming pleadings, but at this time Ms. Smith wants to be clear.  Her former husband Mr. Reynolds has not been involved in her child’s life since the divorce in 2005, has never paid support for the child and has shown no interest in the child. The claims by Respondent’s counsel that ‘It is troubling that Smith now inflicts measurable harm upon her son while seeking to deprive her son’s father Reynolds, of the rights and privileges of joint legal custody’ are completely unfounded and meant only to disparage her.  Our client feels that Mr. Jordan had numerous opportunities to resolve this matter by having a simple conversation with her. If he claims he is not the father, a simple $300 saliva test could likely resolve the issue instead of further court or public involvement.”

Jordan and Smith were involved in a relationship in 1995 –  while he was married to his first wife Juanita.

Michael Jordan Denies Being The Father Of 16-Year-Old Aspiring Rapper

. . , , , , , , ,

The greatest basketball player of all-time is ready to go to battle one more time, but in a different kind of court. Michael Jordan has asked a Georgia court to dismiss a lawsuit filed against him by a woman who says the NBA hall of famer is the father of her 16-year-old son.  In a document filed Monday in Fulton County Superior Court, Jordan’s lawyer John Mayoue says  that the six-time NBA champion is not the father of Pamela Y. Smith’s son. 

Via AP:

Jordan, 50, released a statement to The Associated Press on Monday through his spokeswoman Estee Portnoy saying, “Public records show that the paternity of the child was established in a prior case in this same court many years ago and that Michael Jordan is not the father. He also filed a counterclaim seeking sanctions for the false claims made against him. It is unfortunate that well-known figures are the target of these kind of claims. Michael Jordan will vigorously defend himself and his reputation.”

Jordan also called the lawsuit a ”shameless, bad faith attempt to abuse the legal system.” Smith’s lawsuit requests Jordan take a paternity test and pay child support in addition to the boy’s last name be legally changed to Jordan.  Moreover, she requests the Georgia Department of Vital Records to issue him a new birth certificate. “Pamela had no choice but to support her son and his desire to forge a relationship with his father,” Smith’s publicist, April Love, said in a statement Friday. “That’s why she is now speaking out and prompting Michael to do the right thing.” Love said Smith, 48, and Jordan met in Chicago in the late 1980s.
