FORMER NBA Baller Latrell Sprewell BUSTED For Disorderly Conduct + Lil' Flip SAYS His ASSAULT RIFLE Is LEGIT!

Former NBA baller Latrell Sprewell was arrested in Milwaukee, WI yesterday for disorderly conduct.  Find out what he did inside and hear why Lil' Flip says his arrest for carrying an assault rifle was bogus....

Latrell Sprewell, who used to score hoops for the Golden State Warriors and the NY Knicks, scored a court date yesterday after he was busted for disorderly conduct. 

Cops in Milwaukee responded to a residence on the east side of the city around 4:15pm yesterday after receiving two loud noise complaints.  The police report does not say why Latrell was arrested or if he even lives at the house, but we know from his past (he once choked and threatened Golden Start Warriors head coach P.J. Carlesimo) that he has a bit of a temper. 

The Milwaukee County district attorney's office is investigating and we'll keep you posted.

 

And in other arrests.....

Remember we told you that Lil' Flip had been arrested for drug and gun possession in Louisiana?  Despite having us scratching our heads about "why" he needs to drive around with an AR-15 assault rifle, Lil' Flip claims he is within his constitutional rights to have the weapon.

Photobucket

It turns out that he DOES have a valid license to carry the gun in 22 states (including Louisiana) and he says he needs it because he's been shot before.

As for the marijuana....he says it was just a few "Black and Mild" cigars and he is "not one of those rappers who would carry drugs on me. I know better."

"I know they don't mess around in Louisiana and I wouldn't do anything to make me go to the big house. Especially on Christmas night."

Alrighty then....tell it to the judge.

SPOTTED: Scottie Pippen & Wife Larsa Hit Miami Beach With Daughter Sofia

Chicago Bulls legend Scottie Pippen was spotted out at Miami Beach after a boat ride with his wife Larsa Pippen and their cute daughter Sofia.  Check out the family pics inside...

Former co-star of "Real Housewives of Miami" Larsa Pippen is still getting snapped by the paps.  She and her former NBA star hubby Scottie Pippen made their way out to the beach in their hometown of Miami.  And 47-year-old Scottie, who currently serves as senior advisor to Bulls' President & COO Michael Reinsdorf, was on daddy duty carrying daughter Sofia around as they made their way to the valet stand:

Larsa gave a little insight into how she raises the couples' kids after the world saw how absolutely spoiled she was herself.  She said on her Bravo blog during season 1 of "RHOM":

“I have the means to spoil my kids with whatever they want, but I choose not to because they have to understand the value of hard work.  My kids get rewarded for their efforts at school. So when I got their report cards from school, and saw their good grades I had to reward them. They said they wanted some pets and that they would care for them. I took them to a pet shop and we bought a rabbit, turtle, and a couple of lizards. They have been doing a great job of caring for their little buddies.”

Anywho, Larsa now spends her days chillin' out with the fam and kickin' it with her good friend Kim K. whenever she's in town.

THE PARTY'S OVER: Serena Williams Skips NYE To Focus On Aussie Tennis Tournament, Says "I'm Boring Now"

Posted: 02 Jan 2013 06:46 AM PST

Ex-party girl Serena Williams revealed that she's done with "fun times" and focused on making tennis history. Find out why she celebrated NYE very quietly in Australia, but still looked cute, inside....

Photobucket

With her long toned legs and flowing brown curls, legendary tennis champion Serena Williams was spotted rocking a pretty floral print dress during day two of Australia's Wheel of Brisbane tennis tournament in South Bank.

Photobucket 

The Olympic gold medalist revealed that she's given up her old party ways to devote total focus on her tennis game. 

"I’m really boring now. I used to be fun - for a fun time...Now for a fun time do not call me. I think I just got older and I realized I can’t be that fun girl for the rest of my life. I could be the oldest number one. I don’t know how that goes with the funnest."

And Serena even spent NYE very quietly as she prepped for her game saying, "I’ve been having insomnia, I don't know what time zone I’m in. I’m nocturnal right now. I was awake for New Year’s Eve. I heard the fire crackers and I would have loved to have seen it but I had a match today so I didn’t do anything fun."

We're sure all of the prep work will pay off on the court though.  Good luck Serena!
