Vanessa Curry Mask: Celtics Fan Tries To Distract Lakers' Kobe Bryant

TMZ is reporting that a Boston Celtics fan is pretending there is a way to stop the L.A. Lakers from winning the championship. The delusional individual is attempting to distract Kobe Bryant by creating cutout masks of Vanessa Curry, the former Laker Girl who allegedly had a fling with the Laker star.

I don't know if it'll work as a distraction tactic, but I think the mask is an accurate representation of what Curry would look like if Kobe's wife Vanessa got a hold of her. Although in addition to the scratched out eyes, every hair on Curry's head would be gone.

If you remember, Vanessa Bryant recently verbally attacked a reporter in front of her and Kobe's young daughters.

Hopefully she'll be in a better mood when the Lakers win the championship.

Did Kobe Bryant Get Some Sideline Action With Vanessa Curry?

Hey Kobe - keep your eye on the ball! No, not that one...Kobe Bryant may be leading the Lakers towards the NBA playoffs, but his personal life is anything but smooth. First his wife Vanessa verbally attacks a journalist, and now those rumors are back that he had an affair with Laker Girl Vanessa Curry.

The story is that Kobe was having an affair with Curry and that Laker management forced her to leave the Laker Girl squad after concerns that it was proving to be too much of a distraction. Kobe denied the story and threatened to sue the site that first ran the story, but they're apparently refusing to back down.

I wouldn't be so much afraid of any badass lawyers as I would be of Kobe's wife Vanessa, who sounds batshit crazy and could probably scratch out both your eyeballs on the first try. In front of her kids.

Just kidding, Vanessa! Put that knife down!

Vanessa Bryant: When Laker Wives Attack! Bloggers!

Hey, us bloggers have feelings, too, you know. Well, not really, but this one still hits close to home. Kobe Bryant's wife verbally attacked blogger Laura Lane over an article Lane wrote for ESPN The Magazine. On her personal blog, ridethefastlane.com, Lane recounts being chewed out by Vanessa in front of her young daughters after a Lakers game on Friday night.:

Last night, I got cussed out by Vanessa Bryant. Seriously. At the Lakers game. In front of her kids. In front of the Lakers locker room. It was awesome. She is mad about an article I wrote where I mentioned her. That means one of two things - she either reads the ESPN blog or she has herself on Google alerts. Both are fantastic.

So as I’m walking out of the Lakers locker room after some post-game interviews with the players, I pass Vanessa, who is sitting outside the locker room as usual with her two girls.

“Laura!” she screams (yes, she apparently knows my name). “F*ck you! You f*cking bitch!”

“Excuse me?” I say, completely baffled as I look around me to see if there is someone else named Laura. No, there’s not.

Her daughters – ages 5 and 2 – are sitting next to her on the bench looking at their mom as she screams.

“F*ck you! How dare you write about me and my daughters and their schedule! You didn’t say you were writing an article! F*ck you! You f*cking bitch. You have no journalism ethics! F*ck you! You bitch -

I just stare at her. I’ve heard many stories about her from reporters, but this was unbelievable. Two of my friends from the LA Times told me how she cussed out one of them last season, because he said hi to her daughter. “Join the club, this means you’ve arrived,” said one reporter when word spread of my run-in with Vanessa. “She’s insane,” said another. “Everyone knows it.”

Here's what Lane wrote that pissed Vanessa off:

"Vanessa, who is usually prim and proper in all black, has decided to have fun tonight. … She's wearing a white tube dress, a purple tutu, black leggings, high-heeled short boots and a rhinestone-encrusted white leather jacket with the number 8 on the back, Kobe's old number. … Bryant's kids have recently started playing soccer in addition to gymnastics, ballet and hip-hop. 'I'm like a total soccer mom,' Vanessa says."

I can't imagine why this would get Vanessa's panties in a twist, unless as the other journalists said, she's insane. Either that or she was understandably embarrassed that the entire world now knows she actually owns a white tube dress.

Katie Holmes Shipped Off to Crazy Camp

Whit Honea — Wed, 30 Apr 2008 20:52:00 GMT

Star magazine is reporting that Tom Cruise banished his wife to a Scientology "boot camp." Seriously. Banishment! She was sent there by Cruise due to her radical desire to think for herself. Who the hell does she think she is?

Katie had big plans to go to NYC and star on Broadway and Tommy was not happy about it. Hence, a trip to Hemet, CA, which is just north of the greater San Diego area, for a little cleansing and/or brainwashing. Isn't love magical?

What is it about Oprah that takes the crazy up a level in Tom? He must be channeling all of his repressed couch-jumping urges into his foil hat.

Supermodel/mom Helena Christensen and her son Mingus Reedus grabbed some juice in NYC. Guess how old Mingus is.

Mingus is only 7. Supermodel genes are awesome.

Basketball Babies

Bruce Bowen, of the San Antonio Spurs (leading Cleveland 2-0 in the NBA Finals) and his wife, Yardley, added a second boy to the squad this past weekend. Son Ozmel joins nearly two-years old Ojani on the Bowen bench.

"My wife is doing well and the baby is well," said Bowen, "What a gift during quite a time."

The Spurs won the NBA title in 2005, the same year that Ojani Bowen was born. Daddy is hoping this birth works out in similar fashion.

"I hope that's prophetic," he said.

What makes the timing of the birth even more interesting, for those of us following along at home, is that Bowen is matched against LeBron James in the series, who is also expecting the arrival of his second son any moment.

"I'm expecting," said LeBron. "Well, I'm not. That would be kind of weird."

At least the loser won't go home empty handed.
