DEEBO GOING TO JAIL FOR REAL ESTATE FRAUD

SHOWTIME SAYS…

I guess Tiny “Zeus”  ”Deebo” Lister from the Friday movie franchise won’t be able to be a part of the final installment “Last Friday”

Deebo has agreed to plead guilty to defrauding banks out of over $3 Million.  Lister has agreed to a plea deal that could send him to jail for the next 5 years.

According to the plea agreement — obtained by TMZ — Lister admitted to a diabolical scheme in which he and several individuals conspired to obtain four different mortgages on homes in L.A. using false information and bogus bank statements.

Lister admitted he and his co-conspirators collected mortgages worth $5.7 million — and defaulted on all four … costing the lenders $2.6 million.

He also admitted to withdrawing over $1.1 million in loans using the properties as collateral … which he never paid back. All-in-all Lister has admitted swindling banks out of $3.8 million.

Lister now faces up to 5 years in federal prison. He’s due in court in September.

Any bets on if he will get knocked the f*ck out or not…

HOOPZ CONFIRMS BREAKUP WITH SHAQUILLE O’NEAL

SHOWTIME SAYS…

It looks like former NBA baller Shaquille O’Neal and his girlfriend Hoopz are calling it quits. The on again, off again romance that started back in 2010 when Shaq played for the Boston Celtics has seen it’s share of ups and downs, but according to Hoopz, it is finally over.

Former Sudbury resident Nicole “Hoopz” Alexander confirmed to the Globe on Friday that she and her longtime boyfriend, retired Celtic Shaquille O’Neal, have called it quits. The two met in 2010 and lived in Sudbury together while Shaq played for the team. They left the local ’burbs when he retired, and have been living in Florida. Alexander was back in Boston with Shaq just a few weeks ago when he was called to the North Shore filming scenes for Adam Sandler’s local comedy sequel, “Grown Ups 2,” in which he plays a security guard. Alexander told us in 2011, shortly after moving to town, that she took to Sudbury because it reminded her of her hometown in suburban Michigan.

Black Sports Online says that the last straw came when Hoopz threw a temper tantrum in a Florida gym when she was told that she could not train there for the 2016 Olympics.

The straw that seem to have broke the camel’s back was an argument at the Orlando Metro Gymnastics facility.  Hoopz after watching Gabby Douglas win the All-Around at the Olympics, wanted to get some lessons.

Here is what happened according to an eyewitness at the gym.

“The gym doesn’t teach people over the age of 18 for insurance purposes and when Hoopz was told this she lost her mind.  She started to curse out the staff and became belligerent.  She got extremely loud, screaming at the top of her lungs how she needed to train for the 2016 Olympics.

Shaq was embarrassed, he dropped his head like he was ashamed of her. He didn’t say anything while they were in the gym, but once they got to their car a heated argument took place.  You could hear and see them screaming at each other.  I felt bad for him.”

Another witness confirms the story. While the breakup did not happen that day, it appears Shaq’s annoyance with her behavior eventually led to the breakup that Hoopz confirmed with the Boston Globe.
