Dwyane Wade SUSPENDED For Giving A Knee To The Groin, Defends Himself On Twitter

Father of the Year Dwyane Wade got a bit heated during last night's game against the Bobcats.  Now he's defending himself on Twitter about that shot to the groin....

Miami Heat star D-Wade is usually a pretty even tempered player.  But after some rough contact from Charlotte Bobcats baller Ramon Sessions (#7 pictured above right after the conflict), Dwyane had to give him a little something.

In the middle of the 4th quarter of Wednesday night's game in the MIA, Dwyane flailed his leg on Sessions and it resulted in D-Wade's knee kicking dude in the groin.

The Heat still won the game, but Dwyane rushed to his Twitter to explain his actions..especially because it went down in front of his boys:

"I'm far from being a dirty player + my intent was never 2 kick Ramon Sessions.

I just reacted to the contact that I got from him.... More than anything, I think of my boys watchin me be4 retaliating 2ward any player. Im moving 4ward + ready 2 get back on the court in MIL."

Mr. Wade was slapped with a 1 game suspension on Thursday, without pay, and he will serve it by sitting out tonight's game when the Heat travel to Detroit.  Peep the video below and decide if this scrap-up really warranted a suspension...

They been dating for two years, and he just put a ring on it.  Brandy's rep just confirmed to Entertainment Tonight that Ryan popped the question during the Holiday, and the twosome are set to be hitched!

It will be the first (real) marriage for 33-year-old Brandy.  And after chick told everyone who would listen just how much she loved herself some Ryan, it's good to see that he's head over heels as well.  The twosome have been attached at the hip (pictured together above at the 2012 'VH1 Divas' show) since they started dating, and Brandy confirmed on 'Wendy' that they already live together.

And insider told Us Weekly, "They are thrilled and happy and Brandy feels this is so right."

Ryan will become stepdad to Brandy's 10-year-old daughter Sy'Rai.  The "Wildest Dreams" singer has written songs about music industry exec Ryan and gushed about her boo in interviews, so the engagement comes as no surprise.

And just how are the love birds celebrating?  They're currently living it up in Hawaii.  Brandy posted a pic of her happy self saying, "Hawaii sun all in my face:) having a great time with my love @ryanpress215".

Katt Williams should definitely be concerned about taxes and the fiscal cliff as he's already on the hook with the IRS for $4 million!  Get deets on his tax woes inside.....

 

It has been a rough year for Katt Willaims as he's had numerous slaps and run-ins with fans, police and even his assistant.  And if those legal woes weren't enough to carry over into 2013, now he has the weight of the IRS on his back

First, Katt is accused of not paying $3.2 million in taxes for his big money days of 2008; then he didn't pay $829,352 in 2009; and now the Feds want $284,000 for 2010!

All in all, Katt is in debt to Uncle Sam for a total of $4 million.  And when you think about what he'll be paying in legal fees....he might what to book an HBO special or release a DVD or two. 

It's hard out here for a pimp.

The Brooklyn Nets announced earlier today that Avery Johnson has been relieved of his coaching duties with the team.  More deets inside.....

 

On Thursday, the Brooklyn Nets (the NBA team part-owned by rapper Jay-Z) announced that Avery Johnson has been fired as head coach.  General manger Billy King revealed that in the interim, P.J. Carlesimo will serve at the team's coach.

As Jay-Z kicked off the opening of the Barclays Center with a series of high-profile concerts, the Brooklyn Nets got off to a fantastic start before slowly fading.  According to ESPN, Avery began the year with an 11-4 start and was named Eastern Conference Coach of the Month for October and November, but the Nets have only won three of their last 13 games and currently hold the eighth and final playoff spot in the East.

Mikhail Prokhorov, the Nets principal owner, said "The Nets ownership would like to express thanks to Avery for his efforts and to wish him every success in the future."

Things are heating up in the war of words between rappers Meek Mill and Cassidy with Meek dropping a new diss record called "Repo." Listen to the track inside and find out what Cassidy said in response. Also, watch the trailer for Shawty Lo's "All My Babies Mamas' special....

Rappers Meek Mill and Cassidy are poised to take their beef into 2013 with Meek Mill unleashing a 5-minute diss record named "Repo" in response to Twitter taunts and other diss tracks aimed his way. 

While Meek runs down his 2011-2012 resume of hit records and guest appearances, he taunts Cassidy for his legal troubles, failed records and getting his car repossessed.

Listen to "Repo" here:

In response to the record, Cassidy, tweeted, "Where's the funeral? He expected to kill me wit that bullshit! 5 min song! Not 1 quotable bar! They need to repo his rap book.. Lol"

We guess Cassidy wasn't impressed....

And in case you missed it, listen to Cassidy's diss Meek Mill and others on "Me, Myself, and iPhone":

 

 

And on tv......

A while back we told you about the messy love life of rapper Shawty Lo which involved a failed engagement, an arrest or two and rumors of a pregnant jumpoff.  At some point, producers got wind of Shawty's complicated faimly situation and decided to make a reality show about it.  But it won't just be based on a fiancee or a jump off....how about a show on his 10 "baby mamas" and 11 kids.

Set to air on Oxygen next year as a 1-hour special, Cori Abraham, Senior Vice President of Development at Oxygen Media, says:

"'All My Babies' Mamas' will be filled with outrageous and authentic over-the-top moments that our young, diverse female audience can tweet and gossip about."

So whose bright idea was this special? It was created by duo Liz Gateley and Tony DiSanto of DiGa Vision who claim in a press release that the show, "... will capture the highs and lows of this extreme 'blended family' that is anything but ordinary, while also showing the drama and the passion behind life's most unexpected situations."

Oh?

If this sounds intriguing, watch the trailer:

Standards have been out of the window for a while now for reality tv, but damn.

1.  Rapper Lil' Flip busted for marijuana and gun possession.  Story.
