As well as a three year jail sentence, the Judge also ordered $170,000 in restitution for the car and $1,975 for curb repairs at the wreck site.

(Maybe it's the broke woman in me but I don't see the need for a 300,000 car. And how did he get on her property and in her garage so easily? )

Homeboy worked at the garage where Missy's car was stored after she had is shipped from LA to Virginia.. Where in the heck do they think he is going to get $170,000 to pay her back with???? LOL

LOS ANGELES — Lakers star Kobe Bryant missed practice, but he had a good reason: his wife was giving birth to the couple's first child.

Trainer Gary Vitti said Bryant called him early yesterday to say his wife, Vanessa, had gone into labor. Daughter Natalia was born a few hours later.

Twenty-four year-old Bryant is still expected to play today at the Staples Center against the Clippers.

Teammate Shaquille O'Neal, already a father with another child on the way, said he thinks Bryant will do just fine as a father.

LAKER REPORT
Kobe's Wife Gives Birth to Daughter
By Tim Brown and Mike Terry
Times Staff Writers

January 20 2003

Kobe Bryant missed the Lakers' practice Sunday, but he had a good reason — to attend the birth of his daughter, Natalia, born midafternoon, the first child for Bryant, 24, and his wife, Vanessa.

Trainer Gary Vitti said Bryant first called him between 7 and 8 a.m. to advise him that his wife had gone into labor.

Bryant is expected to play tonight at Staples Center against the Clippers. He is also expected to play, if selected, in the Feb. 9 All-Star game in Atlanta.

Bryant had said that he would not go to the game if it was too close to the birth.

Teammate Shaquille O'Neal, already a father with another child on the way, had some advice for Bryant.

"With kids you've got to hold them, rub their heads, stand there through all their pain," O'Neal said. "But Kobe's a tough guy, he'll be fine."

O'Neal was asked to recall the birth of his first child.

"It was during the [1996] Olympics when I announced I was coming to L.A.," O'Neal said. "I had to drive back from Atlanta for the birth, spend a couple of hours with him (umm, don't you mean, HER, Daddy? ) , then drive to the opening ceremonies. But it was fun."

UPDATE: Baby Natalia's middle name is "Diamante." I thought Kobe and wifey knew better.

Bobby Brown Sentenced

Bobby Brown was sentenced to eight days in jail for 1996 drunk driving charges on Friday after he turned himself in to authorities in Georgia.

A warrant for his arrest was issued earlier this week when he skipped a court appointment to go to the American Music Awards in Los Angeles on Monday. After surrendering himself, the R&B singer pleaded guilty to driving under the influence and speeding and was sentenced to eight days in Dekalb County Jail, 240 hours of community service, $2,000 in fines and $800 in court costs.

State Court Judge Wayne M. Purdom also ordered Brown to get counseling and suspended his driver's license for a year. Brown, who will be on probation for two years, was immediately taken into custody.

Brown had been ordered not to leave Georgia while awaiting trial on the charges, making his televised appearance at the American Music Awards a violation of his bond.

"Mr. Brown, you can't know from your position how tempting it is in this case to just throw the book at you," Purdom said, according to wire service reports.

"It could have been a lot worse," defense attorney Xavier Dicks said. "He was facing four years."

It still may get worse. Brown faces charges of marijuana possession, speeding and driving without a license or proof of insurance following a November 7 arrest in Atlanta. Authorities realized after that arrest that the singer's earlier case had fallen through the cracks when he failed to appear in court.

Fabolous Arrested Again!!!

Fabolous was arrested not once but twice this week in New York — for driving with a suspended license on Wednesday, and for weapons charges on Thursday.

The rapper, whose real name is John Jackson, was arrested Thursday evening in Brooklyn after a Suburban in which he was a passenger ran a red light. According to Brooklyn police, officers saw a gun handle sticking out of the back seat when they approached the vehicle. During a search, a second gun was discovered. A fellow passenger named Rascharm Davis and the driver, Reginald Rivers, were also arrested.

At an arraignment hearing at the Brooklyn Criminal Court Friday afternoon (January 17), the rapper was charged with two counts of criminal possession of a weapon in the second degree, making the alleged crime a class C felony, according to the Brooklyn district attorney's office. Jackson faces up to 15 years for the charge. He was released on his own recognizance.

Singer Bobby Brown hospitalized
Tuesday, January 21, 2003 Posted: 2:49 PM EST (1949 GMT)

ATLANTA, Georgia (CNN) -- Singer Bobby Brown is in good condition Tuesday at an Atlanta, Georgia, hospital after being taken from his jail cell by paramedics.

DeKalb County Sheriff's Department spokeswoman Mikki Jones refused to disclose why Brown was rushed to the hospital around 3:30 a.m.

"We are not at liberty to discuss the medical information of any inmate," she said.

Grady Memorial Hospital officials confirmed Brown was in the hospital but also declined to disclose why he was brought there.

Brown was serving an eight-day sentence after he pleaded guilty to a 1996 drunken driving charge and a count of speeding.

Jones said Brown is scheduled to be released Wednesday; his already shortened sentence was reduced for good behavior and credit for time served.

A judge also has ordered Brown to serve 24 months' probation, during which he must perform 240 hours of community service in the Atlanta area. He also was ordered not to operate a motor vehicle for a year.

Police arrested Brown in November in Atlanta on drug and traffic charges and later discovered he was wanted on a 5-year-old warrant.

Brown first made his name with the 1980s group New Edition before embarking on a solo career that has often brought him more attention for run-ins with law enforcement than for his music. He is married to singer Whitney Houston.

No. Please say she didn't! Did anyone tell them that "Diamante" is the name of a car? Or a fake diamond?

Not related to her questionable child-naming skills...how old is Mrs. Bryant? I just wondered because they mentioned his age and not hers.

Mrs. Bryant is only about 20 years old or so. They met when she was in HS.

Kobe, 22, gets hitched; bride, 18, has prom date

Kobe, 22, gets hitched; bride, 18, has prom date

Plenty of people have watched Los Angeles Lakers star Kobe Bryant drive to the hoop. Now, some have seen him drive to the altar -- or at least away from it.


Bryant, 22, was married Wednesday to Vanessa Laine, an 18-year-old high school student, in a private ceremony in front of about a dozen people at St. Edward Roman Catholic Church in Dana Point, Calif. No word on whether Shaq was best man.


After the nuptials, the happy couple scooted off in Bryant's black Ferrari. That was when Tim Foley, 42, and fiancee Karin Isaacson, 41 -- who plan to marry at the same church -- saw the Bryants making their exit.


Thinking ahead to the upcoming NBA playoffs, Foley said, "Go Lakers!" -- drawing a smile from Bryant.


Now that the wedding is over, the Bryants can settle in and start enjoying their lifelong union of eternal bliss. Ah, the wonderful things they can look forward to:



The bride's first baby teeth falling out and that special visit from the tooth fairy.


The first time they can both toast their marriage with an alcholic beverage, in 2004.

Re: Natalia Diamante

I heard on the radidio this morning that Kobe spent a few years in Italy while his father played 'ball there. Maybe that's why she isn't named Numbiashe' Dekobaquitta....LMAO!

That's right AKA2D. Kobe also speaks fluent Italian and owns (owned?? Not sure if he still does) an Italian pro team. That still don't mean he needed to name that baby Diamante though!! But hey, he's named after a city in Japan and she's a teenybopper!

Lawd Hammercy, why don't he just turn his tired a$$ in and be done. He is a complete mess at best!

[Afrochic]

Steeltrap, you beat me to the punch. I was just about to post about Rra "Chester Chester Child Molester" Kelly.


Here's more to the story.

Col. Grady Judd of the Polk County Sheriff's Office told WSVN-TV that three photos show Kelly having sex with a female under 18. In the other nine photos, the female is nude. He said the photos were found last June during a search of a home Kelly rented in Davenport after he was arrested there on the Illinois warrant. Davenport, in Polk County, is about 35 miles southwest of Orlando.
