Actress Gabrielle Union and actress/singer Jill Scott are among the 5 celebrities chosen to appear “tastefully nude” in the May 2008 issue of Allure Magazine. The point of the photo spread is to celebrate various shapes of the female body.
“Nobody ever celebrates women whose bodies are bigger than a size 8. But here I am, naked in a magazine at size 16. I hope that I can be an inspiration to all women. We’re all beautiful, each and every one of us,” Jill Scott said.

Jannero Pargo shot his best game of the season last night with 30 points, 2 assists, and 1 steal. Chris Paul with 16 points and 10 assists was not excited about this loss but he knew he did his best. Chris Paul responded quote on quote:

SEAN BELL, HIS FIANCEE NICOLE, AND THEIR DAUGHTER
outside a club in Jamaica, Queens, in November 2006. The verdict prompted calls for calm from the mayor, angry promises of protests by those speaking for the Bell family and expressions of relief by the detectives. Detective Michael Oliver, who fired 31 bullets the night of the shooting and faced manslaughter charges, said Justice Arthur J. Cooperman had made a “fair and just decision.”
Justice Cooperman delivered the verdict in State Supreme Court at 9 a.m. Describing the evidence, he said it was reasonable for the detectives to fear that someone in the crowd that night carried a gun. He added that many of the prosecution’s witnesses, including Mr. Bell’s friends and the two wounded victims, were simply not believable. “At times, the testimony of those witnesses just didn’t make sense,” the judge said. Several supporters of Mr. Bell stormed out of the courtroom, and a few small scuffles followed outside the courthouse. By midafternoon, there were no suggestions of any broader unrest around the city. Mr. Bell’s family and fiancée left without making any comments and drove to visit his grave at the Nassau Knolls Cemetery and Memorial Park in Port Washington.

The Toronto Raptors took a their victory last night in Game 3 against the Orlando Magic. With a close game win by 14 points (108 -94) the Raptors take their first win. T.J. Ford scored 21 points, Jose Calderon had 18 points and 13 assists. Chris Bosh and Jason Kapono each had 15 points. It was looking good for Orlando in this game anyway. Injuries occurred on Magic teammate, Jameer Nelson, who had back spasms during the game. The Raptors now gaining with a win under their belt. Game 4 will tie the knot.
The Washington Wizards make a comeback Thursday night. Only behind by one victory, the Cleveland Cavaliers was defeated by the Wizards, bringing an end to their winning spree (2-1). The Cleveland Cavaliers lose brutally by a 36 point blowout (108-72). The Wizards was determined to win last night. They won…and they won hard! DeShawn Stevenson had 19 points. Caron Butler scored 17 points. Loyal fans of the Wizards’ backed up Stevenson’s comment by chanting that LeBron James was “overrated” over and over again. Although Stevenson had to swallow his comments before in the two previous games they were defeated in. LeBron had 22 points, 7 rebounds, 3 assists. I’m definitely looking for to Game 4.

“I’m very sorry for my mistakes and errors. I apologize to my family, the court and the community,” Snipes said as his wife looked on. “I’ve asked the court to show me mercy and the opportunity to make things right.”
According to reports, Snipes paid $5 million as a gesture of good will at the time of his sentencing, but surprisingly that’s not even half of what he owes. Prosecutors say that he owes close to $41 million in back taxes.
