I too received that email with the pictures of Kobe and the girl he supposedly left behind (if anyone wants a copy, let me know). And I also heard on the radio this morning about the current girlfriend allegedly being pregnant. For Kobe's sake, I hope that this is not true. If it is, he has to step up to the plate and handle his responsibilities. I wonder if Kobe wasn't who he is and didn't have the money that he has, would we be against this allegedly forced marriage. If he got her pregnant, I think he should marry her. Regardless of his fame and fortune, he is a man, and we are always challenging black men to take care of their responsibilities. If I was a parent and my 18 year old daughter was pregnant, I would expect nothing less (minus the innuendo of extortion).

i think that the version of girl being pregnant & her family threatening to sue is true. if you think about it kobe is rich and young why would he want to give all that up. the speech about vanessa adding balance to his life did not sit well with me. i mean really, she just turned 18 what does she know about anything? both families are probably trying to keep it on the dl.

i'm going to ruffle some feathers here but i want to give my .08 worth on this one.........

i could care less whether his fiance is black, white, purple or green. what does concern me is their age. if i was his mother or sister i would be concerned that he is getting married too young added to the responsiblity of being in the public eye and having so much money. if she is pregnant that is NOT a good enough reason to get married if they are not ready for marriage.

if he is ONLY with her because of her ethnicity then that is HIS issue that he will have to deal w/ at some point in his life. but i don't feel the least bit hurt or disrespected by the color of his fiance's skin. he is no way hurting me or the black community, but HIMSELF, if in fact that is his sole attraction to her! and that's a BIG assumption for US(who are we?) to make!

[AKAtude]

No feathers ruffled here. As a matter of fact, if you read my first post (also the first post when the thread began), I was concerned about the same thing- their age. I think they are simply too young. I think they need time to mature and experience life a bit first. Fame and fortune will not sustain a marriage.

Not only do they need time to mature and experience life. They need to establish themselves in a SERIOUS relationship/courtship, where they get to KNOW each other. But first, they do need to get to KNOW themselves individually.

Exactly......who really KNOWS THEMSELF at 18?!?!? if i was the parent i would strongly encourage them to date a few more YEARS to give themselves time to grow and mature as individuals.

The Kobester looks clean and relaxed. I like Vanessa w/dark hair.

Serena's dress, although a beautiful color, was a bit on the low-cut side.

Lara Flynn Boyle. Ugh. Bony. Stick. Insect. Loved Gary Payton and his new Lakers' jersey.

Dr. J, as usual, looks distinguished.

BronBron seems to handle celebrity fairly well.

Lara Flynn Boyle was sickening. And her tan was sickening as well.

Serena designed her dress herself. She named it "Aneres". That's Serena spelled backwards. I was cracking up laughing at the fact that Jamie Foxx is in love with her butt.

I was too pissed that Carmelo got up on that stage and thanked. . .himself!! WTF???

Jamie's song about LeBron and the $90 mil was funny as well.

This just in from CNN...

Kobe Bryant charged with felony sexual assault
Friday, July 18, 2003 Posted: 5:11 PM EDT (2111 GMT)

EAGLE, Colorado (CNN) -- Professional basketball star Kobe Bryant was charged with sexual assault Friday afternoon, Eagle County, Colorado, District Attorney Mark Hurlbert announced.

Bryant was charged with one count of sexual assault, a class three felony. If convicted, Bryant could serve four years to life in prison or 20 years to life on probation, Hurlbert said.

Bryant's attorney, Pamela Mackey, planned to hold a news briefing in Los Angeles, California, after Hurlbert's news conference, her office said. It is not known if Bryant will attend.

A 19-year-old woman alleges she was a victim of sexual misconduct by Bryant on June 30 at the Lodge and Spa at Cordillera in Edwards, just west of the Vail ski resort. A hotel employee, the woman filed a police complaint the following day.

No details of the victim's allegations have been made public, and a judge has sealed information in the case.

The 24-year-old Los Angeles Lakers star has told the Los Angeles Times, "I would never do anything like that."

Hotel manager Paul Pastoor said Bryant stayed at the hotel from June 30 to July 2.

Eagle County Sheriff Joseph Hoy issued an arrest warrant, and Bryant -- who is married and the father of a daughter born in January -- returned to Colorado from Los Angeles to surrender on July 4. He was released on $25,000 bond.

Hurlbert, who was consulted on the decision to issue an arrest warrant but reportedly disagreed on the timing, has three options: to file a formal charge against Bryant, to file no charge or to ask a grand jury to conduct an inquiry.

He has held back on any announcement while completing an investigation and awaiting test results from the Colorado Bureau of Investigation.

A hearing was held Thursday on a newspaper request to release police dispatch records of two calls to the victim's home in the past year responding to noncriminal actions. The hearing lasted about 90 minutes, but no decision is expected from the judge before July 25.

The alleged victim is a former high school cheerleader who friends describe as honest and ambitious, even auditioning for American Idol last year.

Eagle County, Colorado, District Attorney Mark Hurlbert
Micah Bernhardt, is one of her friends.

"She was real good on select choir, sang in graduation, she sang in a lot of football games, a lot of basketball games, doing the national anthems," Bernhardt said.

If charges are filed, Bryant's next court date would be August 6, Hurlbert has indicated.

Bryant's image as a role model has fueled his popularity with fans, and fellow players have rallied to his defense.

The 6-foot-6 guard was a member of the Lakers team that won three-straight NBA championships in the 2000-2002 seasons. He was named most valuable player in the NBA All-Star game in the 2002 season.

Bryant turned pro out of high school seven years ago. He was a first-round draft pick by the Charlotte Hornets in 1996 and later that year was traded to the Lakers, where he has played ever since.
