Cleveland Cavs Owner FINED + Michael Jackson’s Alleged Son Joins Wrongful Death Lawsuit

Remember that lil’ temper tantrum Cleveland Cavaliers majority owner, Dan Gilbert had last week? Well, looks like his bank account will have to eat those words.

 
Find out who’s offering to help pay and learn more about the Michael Jackson wrongful death lawsuit when you read on…

<!–break–>

 
Looks like Dan Gilbert struck a nerve with NBA Commissioner David Stern after reading his open letter to Cleveland fans because Stern has charged Gilbert 0,000 for his rant.
 
But get this, Cleveland fans are offering to help this billionaire pay the fine. Granted his basketball franchise is worth millions LESS since LeBron left but Gilbert is still worth close to billion.
 
Gilbert issued a statement of thanks but declined the offers:
 
"The humbling offer by so many is another reflection of the strength of Cavs fans and the people who live and work in this region and are always the first to step up and have each other’s back," Gilbert said. "I will pay this fine myself, but would be grateful and highly appreciative for any fan who redirects the dollars they kindly offered to contribute towards this fine to the Cavaliers Youth Fund, which will positively impact our region’s kids through the numerous local charitable groups the Cavaliers Youth Fund supports."

WOMP! There must be some die-hard Cavaliers fans out there.
 

25-year-old Prince Michael Malachi Jet Jackson, who is the alleged son of legend pop star Michael Jackson, has come forward to join the Jackson family in a wrongful death lawsuit against Dr. Conrad Murray.
 
Only one wrongful death lawsuit is allowed, so he was unable to make a separate claim on his own. Joe Jackson, Katherine Jackson and three children are listed in the claim.  As of now, Joe Jackson has no idea that Malachi will be joining the suit.
 
According to RadarOnline, Malachi is not claiming that he is the son of Michael Jackson for money. They say his primary goal is to get closure on whether the King of Pop is really his father or not. Its alleged that Malachi’s mother, Zerline Lavette Dixion, had a fashion line under MJ’s name back in the 80’s.
 
If the Jacksons win the suit, they would divide the assets and will have to include Malachi.
 
*side eye* to him not wanting any money.
 
In other MJ news, sources are reporting that MJ’s Neverland ranch could be turned into a state park.
 
Sweet.

Verified! King James AKA Lebron James Joins The Twitter Nation!

Over the past couple of weeks the news has been wondering about Free Agent Lebron James next move. Well he did the unimaginable. For all you lovers of the great “King” Lebron he is officially on Twitter. Continue

Associated Press

AKRON, Ohio — LeBron James has made one decision — he joined Twitter.

The NBA’s most ballyhooed free agent opened an account on the social networking site Tuesday. Publicist Keith Estabrook confirmed the moniker kingjames is indeed LeBron.

James had been reluctant to join Twitter or Facebook and had even joked in the past about how other athletes discussed their personal lives online.

Close friend Chris Paul posted on Twitter at midday Tuesday that while he couldn’t persuade James to tell him which team he’ll sign with, he talked him into joining the service.

Less than an hour after Paul’s tweet, James had nearly 18,000 followers — even though he had yet to make a single post.

I guess we’ll join the frenzy too! Follow @KingJames now on twitter. Will you follow? SMH!
