BIG HAPPY FAMILY: Caron Butler, Wife Andrea, & 3 Kids Hit The L.A. Streets!

Posted: 26 Feb 2012 07:33 AM PST

After a rough season in 2011, NBA baller Caron Butler seems happy as pie to be with his fam in his new city, and with a brand new contract with the Los Angeles Clippers.

 

Pics inside of Caron and his wife Andrea and kids chillin' during the all-star break...

Baller Caron Butler now lives in L.A., so he was able to spend time with is whole family (who are still living in their old home in Centreville, VA so Andrea can finish her degree and oldest daughter can finish out the school year) during his time off during the all-star break. 

Caron, wife Andrea, daughters Mia (8), Ava (2), and youngest Gia were spotted grabbing lunch at a local Chipotle in Beverly Hills...with daddy pushing the double stroller.

He may have missed playing in the NBA Championship games with his Mavs teammates last year thanks to a last minute injury, but the Mavs ended up winning the title and Caron signed a big deal with the L.A. Clippers. 

His contract with the Clippers is 3 years, $24 million.  We'd be happy about that too...

By the way, Caron has 2 other kids who live in Racine, Wisconsin where he's from--a 12-year-old son Caron, Jr. and a 17-year-old daughter named Camary.

It's B.I.C.'s first outing caught by the paps!  New parents Beyoncé and Jay-Z were spotted holding their new baby girl extra close while heading out to lunch in New York City this (Saturday) afternoon. 

 

Pics inside...

The Carters may have already revealed their personal pics of Blue Ivy to the world, but they had the 7-week-old bundled up head to toe this afternoon to protect her from the nipping 40 degree weather:

Mama Bey rocked her black sneakers while carrying their precious cargo.  Jay-Z and security guards remained extra close as the family headed to the West Village to chow down at Sant Ambroeus Restaurant.  Cute!

Beyoncé isn't letting mommyhood slow her down--she's already got two new projects in the works (including a new album) and just released a preview of House of Dereon's Spring 2012 collection.  And Papa Jay just returned from a whirlwind trip to London to help his Roc Nation signee, Rita Ora, debut her brand new track "Party & Bullsh*t.

DAMN JIMMY! Jim Jones MACED & ARRESTED After Casino Brawl!

Posted: 25 Feb 2012 01:15 PM PST

Jim Jones is up to his old hood tricks again.  But to his defense, he didn't throw the first punch.  After a night of partying at Diddy's event at the MGM Grand at Foxwoods in Connecticut, the night ended with Jimmy getting maced and in cuffed.  Deets inside...

What's a Diddy party without cops showing up?  Reports just emerged saying "Ballin" rapper Jimmy Jones got into an altercation with a random ish talking guy who approached him at the Connecticut casino & resort.  Jimmy ignored him, but when dude hauled off and hit Jimmy in the face, all hell broke loose.

TMZ reports:

...A guy, who seemed intoxicated, came up to Jones and started talking smack to him, which Jones tried to ignore.

According to our sources, the guy then hit Jones in the face and Jones fought back in self defense. Then the guy's friends jumped in ... then Jim's people jumped in ... and IT WAS ON!!!

We're told Jones had no idea who the guy was or what triggered his beef with Jones.

Sources close to Jones say he was arrested and it took the aforementioned cops and mace to bring him in. We're told he has since bonded out and is headed back home soon.

Goodness.  In the wee hours of this morning, Jim took to his Twitter to say he's going to try to make his bond money back at the craps table:

40k in bonds 1 night had a ball lets see of I can get tht 40 back on th crap table wooord #vampirelife

No word on if his "Love & Hip Hop" fiancée, Chrissy Lampkin, was by his side during the bruhaha.
