Westwood High track coach Tom Davis was fired last week because one of his runners decided to whip off a shirt during training on a 75-degree day. This wasn't a girl, by the way. It was a boy.

And the Westwood High athletic director, Karl Fogel, was so irate about it that Davis thought he was going to lay him out.
"I fully 100 percent was expecting to be swung at," the coach told NECN TV
The team was doing quite well this year under the second-year coach: one of the relay teams went to nationals less than two months ago and the outdoor team started off 5-0 this spring. But there was an undercurrent of tension at the school as Fogel told Davis that some members of the girls team felt uncomfortable when the boys ran without shirts. Davis even warned his team about possible punishment for not wearing a shirt. I'm sorry but of these girls felt uncomforable with someone a boy not wearing a shirt they need to get a grip and grow some balls.

Atlanta-based music producer Jermaine Dupri is known for racking up hit after and hit.

But he's also racked up a lot of debt in recent years.
Channel 2 Action News has learned that Dupri's mansion on Mount Paran Road in northwest Atlanta was in foreclosure and set to be auctioned on the courthouse steps last week, but the sale was canceled at the last minute.
The law firm handling the foreclosure would not say why the sale was stopped.
Suntrust Bank had started foreclosure on an original loan amount of more than $2.5 million.
According to records Channel 2 obtained from the Georgia Department of Revenue, Jermaine Dupri Mauldin owes the state $493,768.75 in back taxes for 2007.
Channel 2's Tom Regan also spoke with a contractor who has a filed a lien against Dupri's property.
Shane Cox of Design Logistics said Dupri still owes him $12,000 for managing the star's mansion. His services included renovation and design.
"We would bring everything in, assemble, set up. Hang all the art. The art hanging in the house. Things along those lines. I feel he's a pretty nice guy. I hope he will come forward and take care of the debt we have," Cox told Regan.
Regan also spoke with Fayette County Tax Commissioner George Wingo. Wingo sent Regan documents showing Dupri owes $14,024.67 in unpaid property taxes, fees and penalties in connection with another home Dupri owns.
Regan went to Dupri's home and rang the intercom at the security gate in hopes of getting a comment from the music producer, but got no answer.
See instead of balling out of control all these rappers need to be paying the bills. Now I know why he has benn djing to make some of that money back.

Jay Z dropped by the Kentucky basket-ballers after they defeated North Carolina on Sunday to make it to the final four of the NCAA tournament. Needless to say they were pretty excited.

Toni Braxton and her sisters get a new reality show. I guess after two bankrupcies and no shows you got to get a check some kind of way.

I didn't know Cee Lo was preaching this Sunday. Paster says fuck you in church sermon.

Here are some of the highlights from the slam dunk contest

Kobe's mini movie, the Black Mamba directed by Robert Rodriguez

THe ladies of the Kardashian family – Kourtney, Khloe, Kim, Kris, Kylie andKendall pose for the latest cover of The Hollywood Reporter, which takes a look at how the famous family made over $65 Million dollars last year.

Since their arrival on E! in 2007, thanks to such no-boundaries behavior, the tightknit family has ably defied the laws of 15-minute reality TV fame while building a wildly profitable empire. As the cameras keep rolling on the eight-member clan’s topsy-turvy domestic life, the Kardashians have cashed in, making more money last year than what Angelina Jolie, Sandra Bullock and Tom Cruise are estimated to have earned combined: a staggering $65 million (a source close to the family confirms the figure). As manager, Kris Jenner personally takes 10 percent.

And in perhaps the most Platonic exploitation of the celebrity-industrial complex, they didn’t do it by picking up paychecks from a network or studio alone. Deploying sibling after sibling, the household, led by Kris, has crafted a wholly modern business model for making money. It’s one that emphasizes accesibility over harnesses three commercial components: fan interaction via social media (the family has a collective 13 million Twitter followers); best-selling products and brand endorsements; and, of course, that hyper-successful reality franchise (Season 5 of E!’s Keeping Up With the Kardashians averaged 3.5 million viewers a week).

The girls of Christian Heritage High School in Utah are receiving a bit of backlash after beating the West Ridge Academy players by 105 points in a varsity high school game which took place last week. Here’s what the coach of West Ridge had to say about the spanking:

“I don’t know why the score was that high, or what the point was. I don’t think it would’ve happened that way if it were the other way around.”

WATCH JORDAN SLAM DUNK

Marcus Jordan the Central Florida sophomore went all Dad on the Hatters' D in Tuesday's 85-58 Knights win. The one-handed jam shown below comes after a lazy inbounds pass leads to a steal and then a serious slam in traffic over Stetson's Ridge Graham, who made the errant pass and paid the posterizing price. Jordan was even so excited about it that he was hit with a taunting technical foul.
