Kim Kardashian Cheated on Ray J Too?

Kim Kardashian is facing another lawsuit to further tarnish their good name of her ex Ray J Kim recently revealed that she betrayed him, while promoting his new book Death deceived him: What every woman should know about him is scarce.

In an interview with The Insider, Ray does not really say that Kim is a woman who had an affair - ". KK "On the contrary, referring to the former spouse is probably an attempt to avoid clashes in the Kardashian family, and it is certainly interesting to see if Kim complained about it - is a young woman to sue Old Navy ad featuring a woman who seems small, after all.

Kris Humphries smiled Ray J Kim Kardashian trying to bring down a few notches, because it seems you can not share what it's really like it (or at least sit down for a tell-all interview for the moment). So maybe you show your appreciation to Ray's last revelation to buy yourself a copy of the death of the man a trick: What every woman should know about the man who dispersed in time for Valentine's Day.

According to Global Grind, this is what Ray J has to say about his relationship with KK: "As for sex, it's intense on the relationship of families, this is a walk in the mountains near the shore of life and fun and emotional infidelity and lies. ... from both ends. that the same people, we have the same life, that both lie, deceive us together. that the same people just different ways. "

He said he knew that Kim Kardashian had sex with other people and I know I did the same thing. Therefore, it is difficult to know exactly what is considered cheating - as it seems to have "friends with benefits" thing happening not a real relationship.

Amber Rose Kim was recently charged with Reggie Bush misled by Kanye West, so the reality show star appears to have little problem with being honest. Maybe it just looks like her mother - Kris Jenner Kim admitted cheating on his father with another man in his memoirs.

Kim Kardashian pictures began to recover slightly after fans angry at the end of her marriage to Kris Humphries after 72 days, but he can not escape from the scandal and controversy. Partner Ray J sex tape is not like when you go dredging (Joel McHale seems to have trouble making a reference to a sex tape in the soup), so it is difficult to imagine what is now angry.

So you think that the sweet little Kimmy is actually a serial liar, or Ray J trying to create drama to sell books?

The boldest play you'll see on NBC this year may not have happened during the Super Bowl.

Tonight, the fourth largest in the network hopes to launch the season against the most watched network CBS, which is strongest in its Monday night. The success or failure of the "Voice" and "success" is likely again to decide whether Bob Greenblatt is the first full season as president of NBC Entertainment has finally deemed a success or failure.

"Voice" is a surprise hit NBC past midseason. In hopes of making a big push for a second season, NBC has given his magical debut after the Super Bowl.

I hope the show, which airs from 8 to 10 on Monday night, providing an ideal lead-in to a new "Smash" music, a drama that comes into the range of 10 which led to the characterization of a nuisance to cancel "Playboy Club" and " ; Rock Center ", said earlier this season.

This is a big risk. CBS Monday comedy lineup of 10.08, including "Two and a Half Men" and new hit ", two young women out of order" has the most bullets during this period. Sometimes even beat a new episode of the program network with other replacement.

NBC adds to the challenge, this Monday is the full length of the ABC hit "The Bachelor" and "House," Fox, and the new "Alcatraz" which earned respectable ratings since the premiere in January.

CBS's "Hawaii 5-0" to 10 have received good grades, but give a little audience to the driving situation comedy. NBC hopes "Voice" distance can attract your audience - or at least get interested in the art of the island.

"Smash", the star players, including Debra Messing, Anjelica Huston and Katharine McPhee - it seems that the new NBC show closer to the heart of Greenblatt. Steven Spielberg to bring the production of Showtime when he joined NBC in January. And network aggressively promote it, hoping it was the second shot clock starts Greenblatt. ("Voice", the first is the construction before he took over.)

The network also offers courses online and on demand before the premiere.

In addition to high risk for "falling" is certainly not the history of music - especially music and drama. Failure "Cop Rock" ABC's shameful fear of music, through a series of hit movies that make them appear again, worth the risk. Fox is a huge success in the 2009 debut of "fun", although the rating it has entered into the third period.

No one has done more films for television at this time again the musical "Chicago" 2003 Oscar winner for best film. Not coincidentally, the "fall" has a production team behind "Chicago," The Craig Zadan and Neil. The production team is only one element of the "fall" that NBC is not left to chance.

While the ratings will not be until Monday morning, most notably "The Voice" after the Super Bowl have a strong shot to become the inaugural season, the highest value. This is to address the inaugural reconstructed "Two Half Men", which attracted 28 million viewers want to see how Ashton Kutcher Charlie Sheen fill the shoes.

Down-to-cable Finish Super Bowl Sunday between the New York Giants and New England Patriots have a strong chance of beating the previous record of 111 million viewers. (Play that beat last year's record for most watched television program in America.) That's good news for the "Voice".

But they show also joined the new musical landscape for a tight contest. Fox's "X Factor", which came in the fall, can take the "American Idol" rating fell slightly in the current series, the eleventh time since the show returned last month.

In a conference call with reporters last month, the word "American Idol" judge Randy Jackson that the entire market is going.

"I think the difference in performances of songs are definitely a little tight right now. They have every year now, 'Voice' and 'X Factor' and there are even singing 'talent'. So you have a lot of songs. So that's what happens when the market is charging. You know what I mean? "

As risky as on NBC to air two great hopes on Monday, the network may not be the best option for distributing on Tuesday 8 is set to "vote" against "fun" Even Fox announced last week that "fun" will be seven weeks, from March 6. Broadcast of "voice" on Wednesday or Thursday at 8 has been placed against "Idol."

Jackson, the judge continued the longest serving musical performances provide eleven times in a row on "American Idol" last week sounded great when he says that there is room for all the music shows. He predicted "big numbers" from "The Voice" after the Super Bowl.

"Hey, I've got a great show and I think the space for all the people out there," he said. "Look."

But NBC needs more than "The Voice" in development - to the success of the "fall" as well.

NBC has at least one card that is different to play this season - which has announced a March 1 debut last week to "wake up", an ambitious new drama about a person that the events are divided into two after a car accident. In fact, survived her husband and children died. Other life of his son and his wife died.

The format may feel tingling or loss of bad luck - but NBC tried to explain this set of ads after the Super Bowl on Sunday.

Dolphins saw best, worst of Ricky Williams

Miami - How Ricky Williams is remembered in South Florida?

Is Miami Dolphins former corridor will be remembered for three seasons of 1,000 yards, including an amazing 1853 Yards rushing in 2002? O Williams is remembered for his failed drug test, a sudden retirement / return, and will always be hesitant to play soccer?

The dolphin looks the best and worst of Williams during his tenure to eight years in Miami. It is a rollercoaster, and most of the years he spent with three NFL teams.

Williams in his prime a great runner. Williams finished with 10.009 Yards rushing in a career that essentially answered by three full-time in 2004, 2006 and 2007. The figures are not likely even greater Williams has always maintained a focus on football.

But do not focus and football add up to Williams, and it is the part that rubbed many dolphin fans the wrong way. Miami has invested in Williams - the dolphin which he changed in 2002 - but football is not something that I really loved. Williams is too easy to walk. He was more interested in other things.

After retirement and drug suspension, Williams was never the same player, after returning in 2008. He has a one year revival in 2009, rushing for 1.121 yards, because the team did not know the Wildcat offense Miami innovative. But Williams has never rushed for more than 673 meters in the rest of his career before retiring this season the Baltimore Ravens.

Williams was a wise and intelligent and have done very well in the next phase of his life. However, the phase of NFL football through a cloudy lens, especially in Miami.

Stoudemire suffered an ankle injury on Tuesday night when she tripped over a jump rope in the court on his way back to the bench before the start of the third quarter.

Carmelo Anthony played on Tuesday against Detroit after missing two games due to injury of the wrist, ankle and thumb. He scored 25 points on 9-of-14 shots and D'Antoni said he expected "good" during the race until Wednesday. But Coach Anthony said the injury to his right ankle still bothered him and can affect the rest of the season.

"I think the pain is sometimes in the middle of June or July. That's how everyone does it, "said D'Antoni.

D'Antoni, Stoudemire expects to have and Anthony are available for the next three games for the Knicks increased this week. After a home game Thursday against Chicago, the Knicks travel to Boston on Friday and return home to host New Jersey on Saturday. Because the reduced lock-66-game schedule, each team must play at least a variety of back-to-back-to-back games. Three-game series this week is just one of the Knicks list.

A player not on the field until next week at the start of Baron Davis.

The veteran point guard to go through some practice without contact during practice Wednesday, but did not participate in any contact practice when the team scrimmaged.

Davis practiced and scrimmaged for the first time last week, but was forced to sit at training on Monday and Tuesday of the team's shootaround because of back pain. Both diseases are banned from participating in a contact practice on Wednesday, so there is some concern that the disease continues to delay the progress of Davis.

Originally it was expected that the Knicks have Davis in late February or early January. D'Antoni does not want to give specific deadlines for Davis again when asked about it Wednesday due to the sensitive nature of the lesion Davis (herniated disc).

"Once you're ready, then put it there. But he was not ready, "said the coach.

Knicks lost nine of their last 11, falling far short of preseason expectations. It broke three game losing streak with a big offensive performance against the Pistons on Tuesday, one of the weakest defensive teams in the NBA.

In general, the team struggled to achieve the changes in the offensive during most of the lack of veteran base. Davis is seen as a solution to the problem.

"I hope for the best and to bring it back as soon as we could, but I really do not know. I do not know, "said D'Antoni.
