Michael Applebaum resigns

Michael Applebaum resigns, Montreal's Mayor Michael Applebaum has resigned, a day after his arrest on 14 fraud charges.

As he stepped aside, Mr Applebaum told reporters that the charges against him were "unfounded".

He faces allegations of defrauding government, breach of trust and conspiracy, among others.

The city's first anglophone mayor in 100 years replaced Gerard Tremblay, who quit in November amid allegations related to illegal donations.

Mr Applebaum's arrest, in the early hours of Monday morning, is the latest in a string of scandals to hit Canadian local politics.

In the neighbouring province of Ontario, Toronto Mayor Rob Ford denies allegations that he appeared in a video smoking crack cocaine.

'Not a penny'

"Being mayor of Montreal is not something one can do while defending themselves against these accusations," Mr Applebaum said.

"This is why I am resigning as mayor of Montreal. It is a responsible thing to do."

He said he would "do everything I can to prove the accusations against me are unfounded".

"I have never taken a penny from anyone," he added.

Mr Applebaum began his term as interim mayor in November, vowing to fight corruption.

The charges against him stem from alleged acts before he became city mayor, during the years when he served as borough mayor, 2006-11.

Police officials offered few details, but said the charges related to real estate projects in Montreal.

Two officials with ties to Mr Applebaum's borough, Cote-des-Neiges-Notre-Dame-de-Grace, were also arrested by anti-corruption police on Monday.

Mr Applebaum had already said he had no plans to run in the mayoral election scheduled for November. Quebec officials and many city councillors have said the best option is for the city to select an interim mayor until then.

The allegations against Mr Tremblay came forward in an ongoing high-profile public inquiry in Quebec that uncovered links between the construction industry and organised crime.

In his statement on Tuesday, Mr Applebaum said he understood the frustration and cynicism of politics in the city.

"It is my deep conviction that I always acted in the best interest of all Montrealers," he said.

Laser reveals city

Laser reveals city,  Airborne laser technology has uncovered a network of roadways and canals, illustrating a bustling ancient city linking Cambodia's famed Angkor Wat temple complex.

The discovery was announced late Monday in a peer-reviewed paper released early by the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. The laser scanning revealed a previously undocumented formally planned urban landscape integrating the 1,200-year-old temples.

The Angkor temple complex, Cambodia's top tourist destination and one of Asia's most famous landmarks, was constructed in the 12th century during the mighty Khmer empire. Angkor Wat is a point of deep pride for Cambodians, appearing on the national flag, and was named a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Archaeologists had long suspected that the city of Mahendraparvata lay hidden beneath a canopy of dense vegetation atop Phnom Kulen mountain in Siem Reap province. But the airborne lasers produced the first detailed map of a vast cityscape, including highways and previously undiscovered temples.

"No one had ever mapped the city in any kind of detail before, and so it was a real revelation to see the city revealed in such clarity," University of Sydney archaeologist Damian Evans, the study's lead author, said by phone from Cambodia. "It's really remarkable to see these traces of human activity still inscribed into the forest floor many, many centuries after the city ceased to function and was overgrown."

The laser technology, known as lidar, works by firing laser pulses from an aircraft to the ground and measuring the distance to create a detailed, three-dimensional map of the area. It's a useful tool for archaeologists because the lasers can penetrate thick vegetation and cover swaths of ground far faster than they could be analyzed on foot. Lidar has been used to explore other archaeological sites, such as Stonehenge.

In April 2012, researchers loaded the equipment onto a helicopter, which spent days crisscrossing the dense forests from 800 meters (2,600 feet) above the ground. A team of Australian and French archaeologists then confirmed the findings with an on-foot expedition through the jungle.

Archaeologists had already spent years doing ground research to map a 9-square-kilometer (3.5-square-mile) section of the city's downtown area. But the lidar revealed the downtown was much more expansive - at least 35 square kilometers (14 square miles) - and more heavily populated than once believed.

"The real revelation is to find that the downtown area is densely inhabited, formally-planned and bigger than previously thought," Evans said. "To see the extent of things we missed before has completely changed our understanding of how these cities were structured."

Researchers don't yet know why the civilization at Mahendraparvata collapsed. But Evans said one current theory is that possible problems with the city's water management system may have driven people out.

The next step for researchers involves excavating the site, which Evans hopes will reveal clues about how many people once called the city home.

Kenny anderson seven children five different women

Kenny Anderson seven children five different women, Being a New York City point guard is a pretty big deal. The long and storied lineage runs from old-timers like Bob Cousy all the way to guys like Stephon Marbury(notes) and Sebastian Telfair(notes). If you’re good at playing point in NYC, odds are you’ll become a legend throughout the city.

However, the biggest of all the big deals is probably Kenny Anderson, who is the only player in history to be named all-city all four years of high school and is called “the best high school player I’ve ever seen” by scouts who have been watching basketball for 50 years. After a Final Four and two years at Georgia Tech, Anderson hit the NBA as the second overall pick in the 1991 draft. And while his NBA career was nothing to write home about, he banked about $60 million.

Then, when his career came to a close in 2005, he was broke. Between cars, seven children with five women and loving to party, Anderson was without a job, money or a diploma. So he went back to school, and this Saturday he’ll be graduating with a degree in organizational leadership.

A neighbor told him about the Institute for Professional Studies at St. Thomas, so he enrolled for his online program by himself — without a cadre of helpers hovering over him. He began working with an adviser, Jennifer Booker, who is a professor.

“What surprised me,” Booker said, “was the way he was willing to give credit to people who helped him, like a former trainer.” She watched him handle the online classes, but from the other side of the electronic connection she could not gauge the terror of a star who had once performed in arenas and now had to produce a paper.

“I’d ask people for help,” Anderson said. “This wasn’t like college. They’d say, ‘I’ll give you an idea, but you have to do the work yourself.’” He almost quit a few times but found a comfortable routine, helping get Ken Jr. and his wife’s daughter, Tiana, also 9, off to school. Then he would take off to Starbucks and study.

Big ups, Kenny Anderson. This kind of thing just makes you feel good. Not the losing $60 million part obviously, but the responding to that by doing something constructive part. That’s excellent.

Anderson is currently giving private lessons to basketball hopefuls, but he’s hoping for something bigger. Whether that ends up being coaching somewhere or something else, now that he’s got his degree, he’s got options. Very cool.

Jimmy Hoffa search

Jimmy Hoffa search, The latest search for the remains of former Teamsters boss Jimmy Hoffa ended on Wednesday in a field near Detroit, where federal agents had dug with heavy equipment and shovels for three days in the hope of answering the decades old question, "Whatever happened to Jimmy Hoffa?"

Since Monday, 40 agents for the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the Michigan state police and Oakland County sheriff's office, and forensic anthropologists from Michigan State University had combed an acre of the overgrown field not far from where Hoffa was last seen alive in 1975.

"We did not uncover any evidence relevant to the investigation on James Hoffa," Robert Foley, head of the FBI's Detroit office, told reporters. "Of course we're disappointed."

The search for Hoffa, who was 62 when he disappeared and is thought to have been killed by members of organized crime, has become near mythical, providing fodder for rumors, books, and movies, including 1992's "Hoffa," starring Jack Nicholson.

Law enforcement officials decided to search the field after reputed mobster Anthony Zerilli, 85, told the FBI Hoffa was buried there. When Hoffa disappeared, the property was owned by a man Zerilli said was his first cousin. Zerilli is the son of former reputed Detroit mob boss Joseph Zerilli.

Cold case

Foley said the search for Hoffa has been worthwhile, but he did not provide details about how much it has cost.

"The FBI and its partners, we're not a corporation. We do not have a profit margin as a bottom line," Foley said. "What we have instead as a bottom line is the search for justice."

A man who showed up at the dig site on Tuesday carrying a shovel and wearing a horse head mask, which harkened to the 1972 movie "The Godfather," criticized the FBI for continuing to pursue the case.

"What does finding the body prove even if he was here?" said the man, who identified himself only as "Mr. Ed", a reference to a fictional talking horse in a 1960s American television series.

The search began on Monday at a concrete slab in the field, about 20 miles (30 km) from a restaurant where Hoffa was last seen alive.

Hoffa, father of current Teamsters President James Hoffa, led the union from 1957 to 1971. In his final years as union president, Jimmy Hoffa was imprisoned for fraud and jury tampering. He was released in 1971 after President Richard Nixon commuted his sentence.

Law enforcement authorities have long thought that members of organized crime ordered Hoffa's killing to prevent him from regaining control of the Teamsters.

Zerilli's attorney, David Chasnick, said he had not spoken with his client since the FBI called off the search on Wednesday.

There have been other searches for Hoffa in the Detroit area. In September 2012, police took a soil sample from behind a private home in Roseville, Michigan, after receiving a tip.

Suggestions about where Hoffa may be buried have included under an end zone in Giants Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey.

"I would say that we're always hopeful that we'll get a lead that will lead us to a position in which we can conclude this investigation in full for the process of justice and also for the family," Foley said.

Colbert tribute to mother

Colbert tribute to mother, Stephen Colbert returned to "The Colbert Report" on Wednesday night after a hiatus following the death of his mother, Lorna Colbert, who died last week at the age of 92.

Before starting the show, Colbert delivered an emotional, heartfelt tribute to the mother of 11, telling the audience, "If you watch this show and you also like me, that's because of my mom."

"She made a very loving home for us," he recalled. "No fight between siblings could end without hugs and kisses, though hugs never needed a reason in her house. Singing and dancing were encouraged, except at the dinner table. She had trained as an actress when she was younger and she would teach us how to do stage falls by pretending to faint on the kitchen floor."

He spoke of her coping with tremendous tragedy, losing a brother, husband and three sons. But, he added, "her love for her family and her faith in God somehow gave her the strength not only to go on but to love life without bitterness and to instill in us a gratitude for every day we have together."

Sean Combs Five Children Three Different Women, ean Combs Five Children Three Different Women, Sean Combs  Five Children Three Different Women, P. Diddy has been inspired to have another baby by David and Victoria Beckham.

The 'Coming Home' rapper - who already has five children, Justin, 17, Christian, 12, Chance, four, and four-year-old twins D'Lila Star and Jessie James, by three different women and is an informal stepfather to another child.

Quincy Jones Brown, the son of his on/off girlfriend Kimberly Porter - admits the news the couple are expecting their fourth child together has made him broody.

Diddy - who is close friends with soccer player David - said: "I last saw Beckham a couple months ago. We are both proud fathers. That's what our friendship is about, not being stars or artists.

"We ask how are kids are doing. I'm so happy he's got another on the way. I hope he has as many as me. I want more."

Although he is currently single, the 41-year-old music mogul - who has never married and has dated a number of beautiful women including Jennifer Lopez - hasn't given up on the idea of finding true love and admits he is slightly envious of fellow rapper Jay-Z's happy marriage to Beyonce Knowles.

He said in an interview with the Daily Mirror newspaper: "I'd love to have what Jay and Beyonce have. My ideal woman has to have intellect and soul. I don't woo them with flowers, I need to know they like me for real."

Last month, the Diddy-Dirty Money star admitted his children's mothers - his high school sweetheart Misa Hylton-Brim, Kimberly and Sarah Chapman - "deserved" to have married him.

He said: "Life isn't something you can predict. Every woman that I was with, that I had a child with, they did deserve for me to marry them. But there's things going on in my life ... I'm not gonna say it's all the way me, but I'll take responsibility as a man."

Kevin costner seven children three different women

Kevin costner seven children three different women, There are several very good reasons why Kevin Costner hasn’t made a film for four years. During that time the 55-year-old Oscar-winner’s wife Christine has given birth to three babies, now aged three, one and six months and, he says, “It’s noisy, really noisy.”

Costner, who has three grown-up children from an earlier marriage and a teenage son from a liaison with another woman, admits he had his doubts about starting a second family when he married model Christine Baumgarten, almost 20 years his junior, six years ago.

“But they’re really good children,” he says, “and I see them making steps every day, and the one thing I pray for in life is not success but being able to raise my children and that nothing happens to me in the next 20 years.
“I want it to be me who tells them about the secrets, the beauty, the treachery and everything that is in life. I don’t want them to learn from someone else.”

As well as the babies, Costner has been busy with other projects: he has toured Europe singing with his band; he has written songs and scripts; and he has spent more than £20 million of his own money developing a centrifuge machine that separates oil from water. He has testified several times to the US Congress about the technology, which was created by his brother and which has been judged so efficient that BP placed an order for 32 machines to help clean up Gulf of Mexico oil spill.

Now he is returning to the screen in a co-starring role with Ben Affleck and Tommy Lee Jones in The Company Men, a topical story of three men who lose their jobs through cutbacks and are forced to redefine their lives.
“It asks how men deal with not being in the position they once held,” says Costner. “What are we going to do without our golf club membership or our car? We have to get used to doing with less.”

Financial hardship is not something Kevin Costner has had to deal with for a long time, although when he embarked on an acting career he worked at various times as a fisherman, a truck driver and a Hollywood tour guide.
He has given up the Los Angeles bachelor pad that was his home until he met Baumgarten, and the family now live with their two white labradors on a 10-acre ranch overlooking the sea at Santa Barbara, 80 miles north of Los Angeles. There he rides horses and drives a tractor; it will be, he says, his last home.

“I’ve been very lucky with the movies, but I think essentially I’m a blue-collar kind of guy,” he says. “I worked on commercial fishing boats and always thought that’s what I’d do, but I’ve had enormous good luck. I have too much. I have the health of my children; I’ve had worldwide fame; I have a lot. When I travel the world, I see that people have very little, and I don’t need everything I have.”

It is almost 20 years since he won two Oscars for writing, producing and directing the western epic Dances With Wolves. Despite his other interests, producing and directing films is still very much on his mind, but his plans, like many other people’s, have been adversely affected by the economy.

“I haven’t worked for a really long time because I tend to make movies that aren’t sequels, so I’m not exactly in vogue. I can make a movie for $6 million, but most of the time it’s going to be around $30 million or
$40 million and Hollywood is very leery of movies that cost between $10 million dollars and $150 million.
“I won’t make a movie unless I have the ability to do it the way I want, so I hold my breath for a very long time. At this point in my life, I don’t want to make a movie I don’t want to make or one that somehow gets manipulated in a way I don’t feel comfortable with.”

Although he famously began his movie career with a role in The Big Chill that ended up on the cutting-room floor, it was his role as Eliot Ness in The Untouchables, quickly followed by his legendary night-time limousine tryst with Sean Young in the 1987 thriller No Way Out that established him as an A-list leading man and put him on the fast track to stardom. Since then, he has been in 40 films, some wildly successful and others that were box-office disasters.

He had a series of hits with JFK, Field of Dreams, Bull Durham and The Bodyguard, but he also directed and starred in the huge flop The Postman, in which he played a postman still trying to deliver the mail in a war-ravaged future, and also starred in the critically-mauled Waterworld and The War.
His two most successful films in the past decade have been Open Range, the western that he produced and directed, and the weepie Message in a Bottle.
“I’m not afraid to fail, and I’m not overly impressed with success,” he says. “I’ve learned that failure doesn’t kill you.”

He went through a rocky period in his personal life when his marriage to childhood sweetheart Cindy Silva broke up in 1994 after 16 years. His divorce settlement reportedly cost him £50 million. Two years later he acknowledged fathering a child, Liam, now 14, with Aspen socialite Bridget Rooney.

Although he is active and outspoken in environmental and liberal political causes, Costner has no illusions about the possibility of running for political office. “I’ve had a very colourful life, and I don’t care for it to be brought up by an opponent,” he says with a smile. “In American politics, if you can’t defeat someone on the issues, you attack what they’ve done in their past, and, because I’ve lived a really full life, I wouldn’t want to put myself in that position.”

Antonio cromartie twelve children with eight women, Antonio Cromartie is about to add some depth to his roster of kids.

The wife of the Jets cornerback posted a sonogram photo on Twitter that suggests the couple is expecting twins. That would make it 12 kids overall for Cromartie, with four from his wife, and eight others all from separate women.

Terricka Cason, who goes under the Twitter handle @iluvTERRICKA, has been receiving congratulations from followers since posting the photo around noon Tuesday. That included one from Jets linebacker Bart Scott's wife.

Cromartie and Cason had a son, Jagger, who joined sister Jurzie. Cromartie has not mentioned the news on his Twitter account, but did wish Jurzie a happy second birthday.

“Identical twins run in my Family,” Cason wrote alongside the photo.

Cromartie has been criticized for his large brood, and that has only grown since he seemed to struggle to remember the names of some of his children when the Jets were on HBO’s “Hard Knocks” in 2010.

“thanks to all my loyal followers who have been supportive of my family & my marriage there are so many ppl who are against u but so many,” Cason tweeted Tuesday.

The Post reported Sunday that some of Cromartie’s other baby mamas are interested in doing a reality television show featuring the children, but Cromartie has balked at the possibility.

Oscar De la Hoya 5 Children Four Women

Oscar De la Hoya 5 Children Four Women, Boxer Oscar De La Hoya, also known as "The Golden Boy," was born in Montebello, Los Angeles, California on February 4, 1973. De La Hoya won a gold medal at the 1992 Olympics at the age of 17, and went on to win 10 world titles in six different weight classes. De La Hoya was one of the most popular boxers in the history of the sport, generating hundreds of millions of dollars from his pay-per-view fights before his retirement in 2009.

Born on February 4, 1973, in Montebello, Los Angeles, California, Oscar De La Hoya's parents moved to the United States from Mexico before he was born. Boxing was a common thread in De La Hoya's family: His grandfather was an amateur fighter in the 1940s, and his father boxed professionally in the 1960s.

Oscar began boxing at age 6. His idol was the Olympic gold medalist Sugar Ray Leonard, who became a celebrity after the 1976 Summer Olympics before going professional; Leonard became the first boxer to win titles in five divisions, from welter to light heavyweight.

At age 15, De La Hoya won the national Junior Olympic 119-pound title; he took home the 125-pound title the next year. In 1990, he won the national Golden Gloves title in the 125-pound division and was the youngest U.S. boxer at that year's Goodwill Games, winning a gold medal. The joy of victory was tempered by the news that his mother was terminally ill with cancer; she died in October 1990, expressing the hope that her son would one day win Olympic gold. One year later, with a victory in the U.S. Amateur Boxing tournament (132 pounds), De La Hoya was named Boxer of the Year by USA Boxing.

International Boxing Star

With the 1992 Summer Olympics in Barcelona, Spain, fast approaching, De La Hoya turned his mother's dream into a strong focus for his training. After an upset victory in the first round over the Cuban boxer Julio Gonzalez, De La Hoya defeated Marco Rudolph of Germany to win gold and become the only U.S. boxer to take home a medal from Barcelona.

De La Hoya turned professional after the 1992 Olympics, winning his first pro fight in a first-round knockout of Lamar Williams in Inglewood, California, on November 23, 1992. He compiled an extremely successful record during his first year as a pro, and on March 5, 1994, won his first professional title, the junior lightweight championship of the World Boxing Organization (WBO), with a technical knockout (TKO) of Danish fighter Jimmi Bredahl in the tenth round of the fight. Four months later, De La Hoya captured the WBO lightweight title as well, knocking out Jorge Paez in the second round.

After a hard-fought victory in February 1995 over John Molina, the International Boxing Federation (IBF) junior lightweight champion, De La Hoya knocked out Rafael Ruelas in less than five minutes to win the IBF lightweight title and bring his overall record to 18-0.

Despite De La Hoya's status as the 'Golden Boy' of boxing, some critics thought he had simply not faced enough quality opponents. A majority of these doubts were erased in June 1996, when De La Hoya faced his biggest challenge to date in Julio Cesar Chavez, an experienced and popular Mexican fighter and the reigning World Boxing Council (WBC) junior welterweight champion.

Clint eastwood seven children 5 different women, Clint Eastwood Seven Children 5 Different Women, Cline Eastwood + seven children + five women,Clint Eastwood, the legendary actor and now highly acclaimed director is 80 if you can believe it. He seems to be 80 strong years though and is still at the height of his game.

Clearly his healthy lifestyle, which has always included exercise, no smoking and healthy eating, is paying off. However there is another aspect of his lifestyle that isn’t always looked on as favorable and that is his reputation as a constant womaniser and his numerous affairs.

In all these years he has only married twice so maybe we should not be so quick to judge! Age may have slowed that down but it doesn’t stop the fact that he has now fathered at least seven known children by five separate women.

Eastwood’s first child was Kimber who was born on June 17th 1964 to dancer Roxanne Tunis, Eastwood was with her whilst on a separation from his first wife Maggie Johnson. Eastwood only publicly acknowledged Kimber in 1996.

He got reconciled with his wife Maggie and went on to father two children with her. Kyle born on May 19th 1968 and Alison born May 22nd 1972.

Whilst in a long term relationship with a regular co-star Sondra Locke Eastwood entered another affair with flight attendant Jacelyn Reeves. Despite two abortions Clint and Sondra never had any children. Clint and Jacelyn had two children together. Scott who was born on March 21, 1986 and Kathryn who was born February 2, 1988.

Coming into the 90′s Eastwood wasn’t done having kids! He was in a relationship with another co-star Frances Fisher and they had one child named Francesca who was born on 7th August 1993.

Eastwood’s most recent child comes from his 2nd wife Dina Ruiz, an anchor woman he met in 1993 and who he married in 1996. They are still married and had daughter Morgan on December 12th 1996.

I guess seeing as he has not fathered anymore children since the 90s and he is still married shows that he may have slowed down and maybe we won’t be seeing anymore Eastwood’s running around. He only has two grandchildren at present, which is surprising considering the seven kids!

The pair split when Federline met and married pop star Britney Spears, with whom he also has two children, sons Sean Preston and Jayden James. Federline recently welcomed a daughter, Jordan Kay, with former professional volleyball player Victoria Prince.

Maybe Kevin Federline should consider revamping his name to Keven “Fertile”ine, considering he is now expecting his fifth child with girlfriend Victoria Prince.

So his ex is ok with the new baby mama, but how does the new baby mama feel about the other babies?

Daily Mail says that Prince has been bonding with Federline’s children. She even goes to support Federline and his son during their Little League games. Sean plays, Federline coaches, and Victoria cheers- what a happy family!

Evander Holyfield has one-upped the actress’s ex-husband to the tenth power — literally — with the child support foolishness he has going on.

In some ways, it really shouldn’t be a surprise that Evander is behind on child support — if he ever paid at all — given the fact that in 2008 his home was being auctioned off due to foreclosure. Plus another of his baby mamas, Toi Irvin, the mother of his 10-year-old son, filed a suit not long after for non-payment of two month’s worth of child support which totaled $6,000.

And on top of that, a Utah landscaping firm also wants $550,000 for services the boxer never paid. That debt is pretty on par with what Evander owes to the mother of his now-grown daughter as TMZ reports it: As TMZ first reported, the GA. Dept. of Human Services went after Holyfield because he owed $372,097.40 in support for his 18-year-old daughter, Emani Holyfield. But according to court docs filed recently in Georgia, that amount swelled to $563,900.91.

Evander was held in contempt and ordered to immediately fork over $2,950 a month to clear the debt. Holyfield got a big head start by cutting a check for $17,700 … knocking his debt down to a cool $546,200.91. But the payment plan is just the beginning … the judge ordered that a percentage of Holyfield’s income be earmarked to pay down the debt. Creepy Evander’s daughter has the same name as Jasmine Guy’s, just spelled differently. What’s even scarier, though, is the fact that Evander has at least 11 known children.

If he owes this much for one of them and has already been put on blast for slipping a couple of months on another one, it probably won’t be long before nine other women come calling. He may never see a paycheck again.

Dwight Howard four children with four women, NBA star Dwight Howard is expecting his fifth baby, reported Black Media Scoop on April 23. Sources say that Howard already has four children with four different women, although he has remained quite mum on the baby situation, trying instead to focus attention on his NBA basketball career with the LA Lakers.

The news that Howard is expecting yet another child surprises some fans, as he has long professed his Christian faith, pledging to "raise the name of God within the league and throughout the world." This leaves some fans wondering whether multiple children from different mothers runs contrary to his professed Christian values.

The 28-year-old LA Lakers basketball star was drafted in 2004 by the Orlando Magic. He was traded to the LA Lakers in 2012 and has been working to carve out a niche for himself amongst several superstars on the team, including Kobe Bryant and Pau Gasol. Howard has admitted the need to get into better shape and has publicly acknowledged attempts to do that.

The LA Lakers are currently in the playoffs. With Kobe Bryant out of the lineup after an Achilles injury and subsequent surgery, they are looking to other players to step up and fill his big shoes.

But Bruce Jenner, 63, was bumped out of his front row seat at the LA Clippers game on Christmas Day to make way for the arrival of Kim Kardashian and her boyfriend Kanye West.

The family were watching Khloe Kardashian's husband Lamar Odom on the court as his team defeated the Denver Nuggets 112-100 at the Staples Centre.Bruce was initially seated next to his wife Kris, 57, in prime position but moved a row back when his step-daughter and her rapper beau made a late entrance.

Kris didn't seem at all concerned and spent the game cheering away with Khloe on one side and her favourite child Kim on the other.  The matriarch and her husband of 21 years have recently been hit by claims their marriage is on the rocks.

But Kris has dismissed divorce rumours, branding them 'crazy'.  She said in November: 'You just have to take it in stride. Life is so good right now. We can laugh about it. We're strong. We've been such a tight-knit family for so long. To keep addressing [the rumours] every single time just gets old.'

Meanwhile, Kim, 32, and Kanye, 35, put on a front row show of affection, holding hands and touching throughout the game. The pair, who were marking their first Christmas together as a couple, were wearing matching leather trousers and casual tops for the match.  Khloe, 28, showed her support for her husband with an LA Clippers cap.  The family had hosted a big party at the family home on Christmas Eve.

Chad Ochocinco four children with three women, Evelyn Lozada and Chad Ochocinco are getting closer to inking a reality show of their own. The series would be based on the couple cohabitating with all of their children, his, hers and theirs – and the drama that ensues.

Chad has four kids – with three women – and Evelyn has one daughter. Surprisingly, sources say there’s little drama between Big Poppa O and his ladies… as long as the checks keep coming. The show would focus on the trials of blended families, such as spending time with all of the children, a highly relatable topic due to the increased number of step families.

On this season of “Basketball Wives” we’ll follow Ev’s journey with in vitro as she tries to get sperminated with twin sons. If the latter happens the networks will likely bite on the couple’s spin off. “They’re definitely fan favorites,” a television insider reports. “There’s a good chance that it will happen.”

So what will living in a house will “Mama E” be like? Will she teach her youngsters to slap box frenemies or toss their bottles at foes? Only time will tell.
