Sixty special guests, including Chris Bosh, Queen Latifah and Dwayne Wade and his girlfriend actress Gabrielle Union, witnessed the proposal. LeBron and Savannah’s two children, 7 year-old LeBron Jr. and 4 year-old Bryce, were also present for the special occasion in their parents’ lives.

“It was beautiful,” Heat teammate Chris Bosh said. “It was nice. It was real nice.”

“A special night,” Heat Coach Erik Spoelstra said.

Savannah wasted no time to flash the absolutely stunning engagement ring – a pear-shaped diamond flanked by two glimmering baguettes -, which should be worth approximately $250,000 – $300,000. It’s pretty cheap for someone who is expected to earn $16 million this season, if you ask me.

Congratulations to LeBron and Savannah!

Dwight Howard, the talented yet underachieving star center of the Orlando Magic, is well known as one of the goofier players in NBA history.

On Wednesday, Dwight decided to poke fun at LeBron James hairline in response to a tweet from his barber.

Dwight had been tweeting planking pictures all day, when he tweeted one of himself planking while getting a trim from his barber, Kevin Tyler.

Tyler tweeted to Dwight, “You better stop before your shapeup looks like Lebrons!”

So what was Dwight’s hilarious and disrespectful tweet response to Tyler about James?

NBA star LeBron James finally broke the silence to admit his mother Gloria James’ arrest for assault is “a sensitive subject” and reassure it’s “being taken care of” when he talked to reporters after Miami Heat practice on Thursday (April 7).

LeBron told reporters, “You have to move forward … It is my life and there’s certain things you have to deal with. You try not to let it be a distraction. I have a job to do, still. It’s very sensitive because it’s your mother. Of course to have an incident, it’s very sensitive. But the people around me are helping me.”

Mommy Gloria James was arrested early today for assault after she allegedly slapped a valet, a guy named Rockfeller Sorel, outside a nightclub in Miami Beach. LeBron promised to continue focused on his work with the team.

LeBron James’ mother, Gloria James, allegedly slapped a valet (Rockfeller Sorel) because they were taking too much time to get her car at the Fontainebleau Hotel in Miami Beach on Thursday (April 7).

LeBron James’ Mom Gloria James Arrested For Assault

Gloria was “apparently intoxicated”, which wouldn’t be a surprise since she had been partying with her girl friends at the LIV club. Miami Beach PD released the following statement:

“Mr. Rockfeller Sorel, a hotel valet worker, claimed he was assaulted by Ms. James, who was angered because her car was taking too long to be delivered. Several witnesses supported Mr. Rockfeller’s account of what occurred.”

“Both Ms. James and the driver of the vehicle were initially uncooperative with the investigating officer. Ms. James was apparently intoxicated as she had bloodshot eyes and a strong odor of alcohol on her breath.”

“Ms. James was arrested and taken to the Miami Beach Police Department where she was processed, issued a Promise to Appear and subsequently released.”

Gloria was charged with simple battery and disorderly intoxication, while the valet went to the hospital. So what happened? According to police reports, the valet went to get Gloria’s car, but she continued talking to people on the street for more than 30 minutes.

The valet decided to turn the car off. When Gloria realized it, she approached the valet and started yelling profanities at him. Then, the 43 year-old “diva” snapped and slapped him in the face so hard she lost her balance.

The report explains, “Then for no apparent reason the arrestee struck the victim with an open had [sic] across the right side of his face and in the process causing herself to lose her balance and falling to the ground.”

When the cops arrived, Gloria told them several times she did not “trust their kind”, but agreed to cooperate because she “did nothing wrong”. She said, “I’m trying to trust you but I don’t trust your kind … I don’t trust that officer who arrested me.”

Gloria needs a reality check and professional help because a sane person does not go around slapping people whenever they do not have whatever they want. LeBron’s got serious mommy issues to take care of.

Lebron’s mommy has already been released from jail. Back in 2006, Gloria was arrested for driving under the influence in Ohio. She was handcuffed, got angry and ended up kicking out the side window of the police car. This woman is trouble!

Bumpshack’s annual ’10 Most Hated Celebrities’ post started back in 2006 when the site was still in it’s infancy. The post garnered tons of attention, hits, and led to me being interviewed, in studio, on MSNBC Live.

Since then it’s become a December tradition where myself and several other bloggers, from other sites, look back on the most hated celebrities of that year. The list last year grew from the top 10 to the top 20 most hated celebrities, although the name remains the same.

As always, you will agree with some, disagree with others, and this year – a nation of Bieber lovers will fill my inbox with their own hate.

Without further ado here is the Top 10 20 Most Hated Celebrities of 2010…..

The 10 Most Hated Celebs of 2010

1. Justin Bieber (54 votes) – What is not to hate about Justin Bieber? The prep-swirl shagcut that beckons at you from every prepubescent boy at the mall? The simple and often lip synched songs? The cocky attitude that makes Kanye West look like the late Pope John Paul II? That’s the thing, you don’t have to look hard or deep for reasons why many in America despise the 16-year old Canadian. The boy prince took over Miley Cyrus’ throne as the teen queen and has dominated the charts since. His ‘My World 2.0′ has gone multi-platinum and his concerts sell out in minutes.

   However, his arrogance and cockiness turn off most fans above the age of 19. Bieber seems to do whatever he wants, whether it is beating up a teen that taunted him or throwing water balloons at his own security team from a hotel balcony high above. Bieber’s age and effeminacy seem to be the reason most hate, along with the hideous haircut, but Bieber’s massive teen following, chart success, and moxy will make sure he remains near the forefront for the foreseeable future. – Bumpshack (Joshua Holmes)



2. LeBron James (51 votes) – LeBron started the year on top of the basketball world as his ‘then’ Cleveland Cavs had the best record in the NBA upon entering the playoffs. This quickly changed when he quit on his team in the Eastern Conference Finals, against the Celtics, when rumors of his teammate Delonte West having slept with his mom began to surface. Upon the quick exit from the Playoffs, LeBron entered the most anticipated  free agency pursuit in perhaps sports history. LBJ and his manager, Maverick Carter, decided to announce which team he would sign with on a self produced ESPN 1-hour show called ‘The Decision.’

   This ill-fated decision changed the way NBA fans and even non-NBA fans viewed LeBron perhaps forever.  Before a televised audience of millions, he spurned his home state Cavs to take his ‘talents to South Beach.’  He had not let the Cavs know before hand about his decision. He embarrassed the Cavs franchise and a fledgling city before millions. It didn’t help that he was hopping down to Miami to play alongside Dwyane Wade, who had already won a NBA title with Shaq, fellow free agent signee Chris Bosh.

   From there it got worse once the season started, James attacked his head coach by leaking his discontent to a ESPN insider via his manager. Then just last week, LeBron mouthed off that the NBA would be better if some of the teams would be contracted.  On the bright side, the Heat have lived up to their fiery name of late as they have been steamrolling teams with James dominating.  LeBron still draws the biggest crowds to NBA arenas, the difference being that most are now there to boo him, Wade, Bosh, and the Heat. – Bumpshack (Joshua)



3. Heidi Montag & Spencer Pratt (47 votes) – The most futile and irritating reality couple, Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt, is once again between the ten most hated celebs of the year. Heidi started the year revealing a plastic surgery makeover that completely disfigured her 24 year-old face and body, making her feel like Edward Scissorhands. Spencer, the enabler, was even accused of keeping his plastic doll imprisoned at home. However, after the end of “The Hills”, the couple came up with a new maneuver to stay in the spotlight by getting divorced, trying to sell a lesbian sex tape featuring a Girl Next Door and getting back together as if nothing happened. What’s not to hate? We can only hope Speidi finally vanishes in 2011. – Gossip Teen (Gossip Gal)



4. LeAnn Rimes (36 votes) – Unfortunately for LeAnn Rimes, people seem to have forgotten her place in the entertainment industry and have subconsciously dubbed her a husband stealer.  While celebrity affairs and scandal occur on the daily, it’s the Twitter declarations including her February tweet celebrating her “one year” relations with Cibrian, the public TMI straddle in front of Eddie’s kids on the 4th of July and the nauseating Shape cover and interview that really rubbed me the wrong way.  We get it.  You both frolicked under cover and got caught.  You’re in love.  Fine and dandy.  But, please spare us of your PDA’s and the squinty-eyed pie-eating grins on your faces and start adopting numerous children from third world nations to make us all try to forget why we cringe every time we see you. – Celebrity VIP Lounge (Danity)



5. Jesse James (31 votes) – Even folks who hate haters have to hate on the man who broke Sandra Bullock’s heart.  I mean, what kind of guy does a thing like that?Jesse James, that’s who.  In 2010, Jesse went from being the man who married up to the dude who went slumming.  His multiple affairs (no less than seven!) with various skanky women, including Nazi Michelle “Bombshell” McGee, destroyed his marriage.  Later he had the nerve to call Sandra “the love of his life” and admit that he threw away a pretty amazing life for… what?  A little somethin’ somethin’ on the side?  At least he had the humility to admit that he had probably made himself the most hated man in the world.  Good thing for him that his current piece, Kat Von D, doesn’t seem to mind. – Backseat Cuddler (Gossip Monkey)



6. Miley Cyrus (27 votes) - 2010 was Miley Cyrus’ year! The Disney star totally ditched the immaculate Hannah Montana style to become real parents’ worst nightmare. Miley started shocking the kids with a racy new image and bad girl attitude with her re-invention album, “I Can’t Be Tamed” – from outrageous wardrobe and dirty dance moves to simulating lesbian kisses on stage and bumping and grinding with an older guy at a club. Perez Hilton did everything to corrupt the singer’s image by posting a fake upskirt picture on Twitter, but a month later she proudly flashed her crotch to the world at the MMVAs. Unfortunately, Miley’s busy year did not end before cheating on her boyfriend Liam Hemsworth, drinking some beers in Spain, her parents’ divorce, the celebration of her 18th birthday and finally being caught on camera while getting high on a salvia bong. Cheers, Miley! - Bumpshack (Rita)



7. The Kardashians (26 votes) – You’d think out of all the members of the Kardashian family you’d find one with likable qualities. Maybe it’s the irritating sense of entitlement or the fact that none of them seem to have a legitimate talent and are essential paid to be pretty. What do they really do besides exhaust the world’s supply of bronzer and fake eyelashes? Enter Scott Disick (I am pretty sure the ‘S’ is silent) to trump them all. Of course, when Kim uttered this gem: “I hate when women wear the wrong foundation color. It might be the worst thing on the planet when they wear their makeup too light…” It might have secured her a permanent place in the realm of people we cannot stand. – Hollywood Dame (Cara)



8. Jersey Shore Cast (22 votes) – Who would’ve thought that eight housemates living together at the Jersey Shore (of all places) would become American icons? The guidos and guidettes of MTV’s Jersey Shore have become household names, and there’s no stopping them now. Just when you thought the madness had ended with season 2, it appears that Snooki, JWoww, Sammi, Angelina, Pauly D, Vinny, Ronnie, and our favorite, The Situation, will be back for season 3. We’re never getting rid of them, people! And they’re not just on MTV anymore; they’re on every station we turn to. When Barbara Walters puts you on her list of most interesting people, you must be doing something right. So get your GTL on, Bumpshackers, cause’ we’re gonna be fist bumpin’ til’ the end of time. – Bumpshack (Ella Max)



9. Kanye West (18 votes) – Kanye West said in an interview he’s the Michael Jordan of music and the voice of our generation – I’m not the type to hate (okay, so I’m lying), but when you start making comments like that, someone needs to shoot him down. He thinks he’s the voice of the people. He thinks he’s a trendsetter. He somewhat is, but not a positive one. I can’t stand his belligerent arrogance and hate how he is nothing more than a whiny crybaby who plays the victim in everything. What makes it worse that he says it is all because of his pain.

   There can be no respect for someone who makes trouble for other people and then tries to shift blame and make it seem like he is the victim. Case in point – the interview Kanye gave with Matt Lauer discussing George Bush and the Hurricane Katrina telethon, claiming Lauer was ‘brutal’ and ‘forcing’ his answers. Or when he blames Taylor Swift for the backlash he’s received since his 2009 ‘I’ma let you finish, but…” shenanigans because she never came to his defense. He epitomises the regression of what the evolution of human acheivement and respect for others is intended to represent. You could find a more mature person in a pre-school kid. Go away Mr. West.. go far, far away. – Hollywood Dame (Holly)



10. Ke$ha (15 votes) – Ke$ha is one of those girls that seems to get away with anything and everything. She reminds me of a young Lady Gaga. We all know that time and time again we hate her. The way she dresses the way she wants and does what she wants. And we can’t forget that naked picture scandal that Ke$ha got involved in. Is love her drug? But we all know that just adds up to being more popular, no matter how trashy it is. I just love to hate her! – Knocked Up Celebs (Taylor Blue)

Newly minted Miami Heat guard LeBron James is on the cover of the September 2010 issue of GQ, along with a story and interview about the narcissist child star within the pages.

In the interview with J.R. Moehringer, ‘King James’ claims he wouldn’t be opposed to playing for the jilted Cleveland Cavaliers again one day, if the fans would welcome him back:

…on imagining himself playing for the Cavaliers again one day: “If there was an opportunity for me to return and those fans welcome me back, that’d be a great story.… Maybe the ones burning my jersey were never LeBron fans anyway.”

There you go Cavs fans. You can now get excited about the prospect of a 33-year old King James, on busted knees, finishing out the last two years of his storied career for your team.

“Personally, Miami was not my favorite place. Vacationing there is great. You go for three days and get some sun and it’s time to go home,” Savannah said. “It will definitely be an adjustment, but we’ll make it. We’re not complaining. Whatever LeBron felt was comfortable, I’m with him. I just love him so much.”

LeBron, 25, and Savannah, 24, have been dating since high school and they already have two sons, 5 year-old LeBron Jr. and 3 year-old Bryce, but they are not planning to marry anytime soon.

The couple is still completely in love and they are happy and comfortable about not having a paper “forcing” them to stay together. Savannah calls the NBA star her soul mate and he confessed he feels he can always count on his baby mama no matter what. Aw!

“I’ve definitely not put a fire under his ass,” says Savannah. “We’re really comfortable with the way things are now. And it’s not up to me. When it happens, it happens. If we do it, I want it to be forever.”

“A person like myself always needs a great sidekick and a person you can rely on no matter the circumstances. And she’s that,” LeBron tells the magazine. “She’s got my back, and I love her for that.”

LeBron also confessed that he would love if his sons followed his footsteps and became major basketball players. He claims that for their age, the two boys are pretty talented. Just like daddy!!

Savannah and LeBron have a beautiful relationship and a super cute family. We hope Miami doesn’t chance that. Besides Savannah is HOT!

Cavs Owner Dan Gilbert Rips LeBron a New One with Open Letter (Text)

Jesse Jackson, in a surprise to no one, took advantage of the LeBron James saga to say something ludicruis and claim some media attention for himself.

Jackson has called out Cleveland Cavaliers owner Dan Gilbert for his open letter to LeBron James when James spurned the Cavs to join the Miami Heat.

Jesse Jackson’s Radical Racial Comments About Dan Gilbert:

“He speaks as an owner of LeBron and not the owner of the Cleveland Cavaliers. His feelings of betrayal personify a slave master mentality. He sees LeBron as a runaway slave.”

He goes on, “LeBron is not a child, nor is he bound to play on Gilbert’s plantation and be demeaned. He has been a model citizen and has inspired the children of Akron, Cleveland, the State of Ohio and the United States.”

Jesse, Gilbert’s letter to James had nothing to do with race, slavery, plantations, or human trafficking.  Gilber’s letter spoke summed up how almost all Cavs fans felt upon hearing of James decision to leave them on a nationally televised one-hour LeBacle.

Jackson has done some good things in his life, and in the Civil Rights movement, but he more often than not hijacks corporations, individuals, and others to make himself newsworthy or for his own financial gain.

Jesse is the same man that was caught on an open mic during the 2008 Presidential campaign saying he wanted to cut Barack Obama’s nuts off.

It’s time for Jesse to get a job!
