MJ might have tried to keep things on the DL with his upcoming nuptials to longtime boo thang Yviette Prieto but details of his ultra lavish affair have leaked….

It’s going to be as HUGE as Jordan’s play in the old Chicago Bulls’ six championship drives!

One employee of a vendor working near Jordan’s 37,000-square-foot home told us nearly 20 young men are building tents for the reception and banquet.

The sheer size of the structures surprised our source, the veteran of a dozen big deal weddings.

“Three tents are being put up in his backyard, over the surface of two football fields,” he said.

Most of those involved with Jordan’s wedding have signed confidentiality agreements, and the source asked not to be identified by name.

“I calculated a total under-roof space of about 600 feet long by 150 feet wide. I’ve never seen anything like it. I’ve been working weddings for a while. It looks like he’s having about 2,000 people over.”

The amount of equipment being brought to the house is also impressive.

By mid-afternoon today, three semis with Illinois license plates waiting in line for access to Jordan’s property.

There were four smaller trucks as well, and two large vans carrying the sound system for the party.

A cop source in Palm Beach, of all places, tells me the tiny island’s department has been ordered to beef up security at Bethesda-By-The-Sea Episcopal Church from 2-6 p.m. Saturday afternoon.

Alot of jordans were sold to pay for this event

Former WNBA star Chamique Holdsclaw indicted, faces up to 65 years in prison

Former WNBA star Chamique Holdsclaw was indicted on six counts by a Fulton (Ga.) County grand jury on Wednesday in relation to a November incident with her ex-girlfriend.

Holdsclaw, 35, faces two counts of aggravated assault, one count of criminal damage in the first degree, two counts of criminal damage in the second degree and one count of possession of a firearm in commission of a felony. [...]

“We’re still working with the DA’s office in Fulton County,” Holdsclaw’s attorney, Patrick Sullivan, told USA TODAY Sports Wednesday, adding that he could not comment further at this time.

Holdsclaw could face up to 65 years in prison if found guilty on all six counts. Yet this story is far from over, and any legal analysis of the case would be very premature.

Nevertheless, things don’t look good for Holdsclaw, who has suffered a major fall from grace after winning three titles at the University of Tennessee in the late ’90s. Once discussed as an athlete who could bring women’s basketball into the mainstream, Holdsclaw failed to show up for one of her games in 2004 and suddenly retired in 2007 despite impressive, if not landscape-altering, play. In an autobiography released last March, Holdsclaw revealed that she suffered from clinical depression and had even attempted suicide.

Her future is now considerably less clear. The case will play itself out in coming months, and this story will remain one to watch.

We hope this isn’t a slam dunk case(pun intended)

“My goal is Week 1,” he said. “That’s all I’m really worried about.”

Griffin, who underwent surgery on his right knee on Jan. 9, said he’s been off crutches for nearly two weeks and was walking Saturday with only the slightest hint of a limp. Sporting a striped burgundy and gold neck tie, Griffin had no problem taking the stage at Mahalia Jackson Theater and accepting his award from New Orleans quarterback Drew Brees.

“It’s a truly a blessing to be up here and be able to stand, first and foremost,” Griffin told the star-studded crowd. “I had a tough injury there at the end of the season.”

The quarterback had made no public appearances since injuring his knee in theRedskins’ Jan. 6 playoff loss to the Seattle Seahawks and likened Saturday night to a “coming-out party,” as he offered updates on his progress and his offseason hopes. Griffin said when Washington fans see him take the field next, they’ll notice changes. Continue reading
