* Adam "Pacman" Jones: Pacman of Tennessee was suspended for the 2007 NFL season and Chris Henry of Cincinnati for eight games recently. Police in Las Vegas recommended felony and misdemeanor charges against Jones after a fight and shooting at a strip club paralyzed one man. * Chris Henry: Henry was arrested four times in a 14-month span, resulting in two benchings by coach Marvin Lewis and a two-game league suspension. He was one of nine Bengals arrested in nine months. * John Amaechi: While numerous gay communities across the world are applauding the courage and effort that former NBA player, Amaechi displayed by coming out, rumor has it that he didn't do it to make the type of statement delicately portrayed by the media. With a new book conveniently coming out, rumor has it that Amaechi needed a new way to bring in the money, and spilling the beans certainly got him the attention. It worked- he has now received a commercial endorsement of his own - the best publicity you could ask for. * Ron Artest: Just as the NBA's Artest has undergone bouts with the law, so have his dogs (but not by choice). Rumor has it that Artest starves his pooches when a Great Dane was rescued from his property after neighbors noted its poor condition. Records show that four of his dogs have spent more than 77 nights at the local pound. * James Posey: Miami Heat's Posey was arrested for DUI. When police pulled over the Heat player, they noticed that Posey had bloodshot eyes, slurred speech, smelled of alcohol and was unsteady on his feet and swayed while standing. * Joey Porter: Porter's pitbull and mastiff broke free from his property and recently mauled his neighbor's miniature pony. As for himself, he is accused of punching Cincinnati Bengals offensive lineman, Levi Jones, when a casino Blackjack game got a little too heated. * Tom Brady: While it may have seemed that Bridget Moynahan was the one for him, a couple months after their breakup, the attractive actress announced that she was indeed carrying Brady's child. To make matters worse, he had already rebounded with supermodel, Gisele Bunchen. * Lee Miller: Aberdeen UK soccer star Lee Miller dropped his shorts and mooned the Dundee United fans in frustration during a recent matchup! * Kobe Bryant: Bryant has tried everything to clean up his image and let the past be the past. But recently, things have taken a turn for the worst. He's been reprimanded for numerous fragrant fouls, which are having ESPN analysts scouring through his old tapes looking for flashes of this newly emerged bully mentality. Is he doing this on purpose to make a statement, or just playing a regular, intense game of hoops? * David Beckham: Beckham and his Spice Girl wife, Posh, appear tired of the overseas scene and have made plans to join the LA Galaxy, but rumors are circulating behind the real reason for the move. Gossipers are led to believe that the recent reality show has something to do with the deal. Also, rumors exist that plagued with injury, Beckham truly longs for a new career in Hollywood instead of kicking the ball around. * Jason Kidd: Despite a history of anger management classes and numerous calls to the police, rumor has it that Kidd's wife has upgraded herself to the level of a stalker, using their children to get what she wants, while he claims he hasn't laid a hand on her or cheated. * Evander Holyfield: For once, we get a chance to see boxer gossip that doesn't deal with Mike Tyson. As the witch hunt continues for superstar athletes who have a sordid past dotted with drug use (namely banned substances and steroids), recent news has arisen linking Evander Holyfield to a highly publicized Internet steroid case. Rumor has it that if convicted, he stands to lose his credibility in the KO corner. * Gerald Sensabaugh: The Jacksonville Jaguars safety is in trouble with the law after being arrested for speeding his 2006 BMW throughout the roads of Tennessee while carrying a firearm without a permit. * Michael Jordan: Jordan was recently fined $15,000 for making comments regarding Texas NCAA star, Kevin Durant. Just how far will Michael go to entice the coveted star to swing his way despite the rule that no one is allowed to speak to an underclassmen yet to declare for the draft. Can't be any worse than Danny Ainge's effort. * Allen Iverson: Just when things were looking up for NBA bad-boy Iverson after he was granted a trade from the 76ers, his long-term marriage to his high school sweetheart has recently turned quite sour. Rumor has it that she has filed for divorce and is receiving counseling from a very influential source, who has made it her personal business to guide the young soon-to-be divorcee. None other than Miss Juanita Jordan (who filed divorce papers in 2006 from Michael Jordan) has made it her quest to show Iverson's soon-to-be ex how to milk him for all he's worth. * Jerramy Stevens: With bloodshot eyes, the Seattle Seahawks tight end was stopped while driving through downtown Scottsdale because he appeared to be under the influence. He also had marijuana in his possession at the time of the arrest. Once again, all parties are innocent until proven guilty, as the next batch of sports star tidbits of news unravels. To read about and explore some of the blunders of the world's most talked-about superstars on the court, field, or beyond is one of the most enticing guilty pleasures for fans. Pro athletes never dissapoint the gossiper in all of us. One thing is for sure; there will always be a never-ending supply of headlines to dive into.
