CLASSIC FOOLYWANG: Dr. Julius Irving Says He Conceived 70's Lovechild Because Of His JUMP OFF'S New BRACES! Posted: 31 Oct 2013 09:06 AM PDT TMI! A leaked snippet from Julius Erving's new autobiography, “Dr. J.” revealed a classic tale of ratchet behavior from the 70s.  Find out how some "dental work" led to the birth of Dr. J's lovechild inside.... Basketball legend Julius Erving has written a new autobiography, “Dr. J.” where he exposes how his lovechild, tennis player Alexandra Stevenson, 32, was conceived. The story is particularly messy because Dr. J was VERY married to Turquoise Erving (from 1972-2003) at the time of Alexandra's conception. SIDEBAR: Dr. J went on to conceive a second child outside of his marriage by another woman in the 2003. But back to 1979.... In the book, Dr. J talks openly about his mistress, sports writer Samantha Stevenson, and their "oral" relationship. He said they only had intercourse once, and it was because she had gotten some dental work and couldn't go down on him.  So if it wasn't for those darned braces... “She becomes someone who helps me unwind if I’m feeling high-strung or stressed. I can drive over and spend a relaxing evening that might even include oral sex. I can only remember one time that we actually had intercourse, and that was because she had just gotten this new orthodontia to straighten her teeth. With wire and gleaming metal bristling in her mouth, oral sex was not an option.” Wow! Sports fans may recall that the public first learned about Alexandra in the 90s when she made it to Wimbledon.   Dr. J hits shelves November 5th.

THIS Is How You Dress Up As A Black Celeb For Halloween....With NO BLACKFACE! Posted: 31 Oct 2013 06:19 AM PDT In case you haven't been on social media lately, there are plenty of pics circulating with idiotic celebs and non-celebs just dying to don blackface for Halloween for some reason.    Since folks act like they have no clue how to dress up as a black celeb WITHOUT taking the non-creative historically racist way into it, we're providing a few examples of how not to do that....with help from Miley Cyrus & Ellen Degeneres.... For the first time this year, we're loving Miley Cyrus.  She may have only been like, 7, when Lil Kim wore her iconic pasty-jumper to the 1999 MTV VMAs.  But she nailed this ish dead on.    Not even mad at her... And remember when Nicki Minaj decided to have her chi chis out on "Ellen" a couple months ago?  Well, the talk show host took notice.  Lot of notice.  Because she re-enacted the look on her Halloween show with her own (artificial?) boobs: Ha!!  Peep the video below:   HAPPY HALLOWEEN O FAB ONES!   Photos: Miley's IG/Warner Brothers

As she's on a full out promo run for her new film (which we've already screened and LOVED), the sexy YBF chick is the new cover girl for Heart & Soul magazine. But don't expect her to be throwing a big fabulous wedding anytime soon.  She recently told Access Hollywood about her man Ime Udoka: “He’s assistant coaching for the Spurs, so we spend a lot of time going back and forth to San Antonio.  It’s tough, it’s hard, it’s a challenge. We are committed to one another and to our babies. You just do what you gotta do.” Keep it fabulous Nia!   Photo: Nia's WhoSay
