Apparently, photos like the one seen here of Dwyane Wade and Star Jones at a tennis match this month have prompted rumors of a relationship. Although she recently filed for divorce, he is very much married to his high school sweetheart, with whom he has two sons.
Wade addressed the rumors on Thursday's edition of Inside the NBA. Here's a partial transcript, courtesy of the Associated Press:
Dwyane Wade: "We're friends, just like a lot of celebrities. We are friends."
Kenny Smith: "Are y'all close friends?"
Wade: "We're good friends."
Smith: "Are you the kind of friends that drink out of one cup with two straws? Those kind of friends?"
We love lists, eh? Here's one on the top 50 TV comedies of all time. Care to guess what may be No. 1? Would it have anything to do with this image? Homer?
I don't know who the next coach of the Dallas Mavericks is going to be. But, there's one person I know I don't want ... Pat Riley.
I can't think of a bigger egomaniac. Or a bigger weasel.
I just think it's funny that when Stan Van Gundy, who had no head coaching experience, was hired, it came on the heals of the Miami Heat winning 25 games with Riley as coach. Then when the Heat struggled out of the gate three seasons later -- with Shaquille O'Neal injured -- Riley forced Van Gundy out and took over a team that had made it to within one game of the Finals the season before. Dwyane Wade (with help from the refs) won a title with Riley at the helm later that season.
As the Heat tanked this season, Riley found every excuse he could to get away from coaching. And when he finally did resign at the end of a 15-67 season, he hired another first time coach. Why? Probably so when the team struggles again next season he can say, "Look, it wasn't my fault."
Barbara Walters, the former TV news star who now strikes fear in her co-hosts on The View, has disclosed that she had an affair with a married U.S. senator in the 1970s. She talks about the affair with Sen. Edward Brooke, a Massachusetts Republican, on an episode of The Oprah Winfrey Show scheduled to air Tuesday.
"He was exciting," Walters said. "He was brilliant. It was exciting times in Washington."
And I'm reminded of the old Saturday Night Live skit where Walters would announce, "I'm Barbwa Walters, and I was once a wespected journawist."
