  • Ozzy Osbourne Sacrilege as Justin Bieber Channels Prince of Darkness [Video]

    Ozzy Osbourne is probably rolling over in his coffin.

    Spike’s “Lip Sync Battle” brought together two more celebrities this week to duke it out. Deion Sanders threw down Madonna’s “Like a Virgin,” complete with vintage-looking wedding-style dress.

    And Justin Bieber took on Ozzy Osbourne’s classic “Crazy Train.”

    Bieber went all out to get the classic Ozzy look. This would be the Diary of a Madman-era Ozzy, not the Ultimate Sin blonde Ozzy. Bieber had Ozzy Osbourne’s round shades, a long black trench coat, a cross chain, black fingernail polish, a long dark wig — everything you need to do a passable Ozzy Osbourne impression.

    In fact, Bieber kept up his end of the Ozzy better than the air guitarist behind him. It’s understandable, though, with all the edits they have to throw in to the songs on “Lip Sync Battle” to keep the rounds short enough.

    Bieber even threw in some Ozzy mannerisms, like the pancake-hand gestures. No hand clapping, though. That’s a standard Ozzy move. Maybe next time.

    In the end, Bieber went all out for a true Ozzy Osbourne piece de resistance. He picked up a prop bat and bit off the head, handing the remainder to a fan in the audience. Bieber turned to display what appeared to be blood all over his face.

    But he blew the Ozzy illusion when he told host LL Cool J, “This is sticky. This is actually strawberry sauce all over my face.”

    “Don’t spoil it, Justin!” LL replied.

    “Uh, it’s real blood!” Bieber backtracked.

    The entire performance was respectable Ozzy, and made even funnier by putting a lightweight like Bieber in the role. The only unbelievable thing about the whole bit was that Bieber moved around a lot more than Ozzy ever did, and certainly not nowadays.

  • Deion Sanders Talks Homosexuality And Christianity, Stirs Controversy

    Deion Sanders may not be the first celebrity to openly discuss homosexuality in the context of Christianity.

    But, of course, his opinion has caused quite a stir.

    The NFL Hall-of-Famer recently stopped by Larry King Now on Ora TV, reports Christian Post. The two discussed a number of topics including Michael Sam.

    For those who don’t know, Michael Sam caused quite a stir earlier this year when he became the first publicly gay football player to be drafted to an NFL team.

    “He’s not the first gay guy in the NFL, he’s the first one to come out,” Sanders told Larry King. “Let’s get that straight.” Sam was selected by the St. Louis Rams in the seventh round of the 2014 NFL Draft.

    But unfortunately, he was released from the team shortly after training camp.

    Although things didn’t work out with the Rams, he was later picked up by the Dallas Cowboys where he spent the first seven weeks of the 2014 football season on the practice squad.

    Unfortunately, he has also been waived from the Cowboys. So, he is currently a free agent. Although Sam isn’t actively playing on a team this season, he was still a topic of discussion due to the controversial aspects of his career.

    The 47-year-old legendary wide receiver made it clear he doesn’t support Sam’s homosexual lifestyle, but he does admire his talent.

    “I’m not saying I condone it, but I don’t condemn it,” Sanders said. “I don’t love what he (does) but I love him as a man, and I just wanted him to understand the burden and the weight he’s carrying.”

    King went on to ask Sanders’ opinion about whether or not he believes homosexuality is a choice. “It could be,” Sanders responded. The famed 80-year-old interviewer decided to delve a little deeper into the controversial topic. He asked if Sanders believed anyone would purposely choose to be homosexual. Sanders responded from a biblical perspective.

    “Well, we can get into saying God did this and God did that,” Sanders said. “The God I know don’t make mistakes.”

    Deion Sanders later took to Twitter to reiterate his sentiments. He also apologized to those he may have offended. “(I) don’t condone liars,thieves,laziness,manipulators & anything that don’t glorify God but I don’t CONDEMN any1,” Sanders wrote. “I love as God loves. #Truth.”

  • Ben Stiller Gets a Taste of His Own (Humor) Medicine While Rappelling With Bear Grylls

    Ben Stiller, 48, got a taste of his own (humor) medicine when he went rappelling for the first time with adventurer Bear Grylls.

    The Secret Life of Walter Mitty actor is the next celebrity exploring the wild with Grylls on the NBC reality series Running Wild with Bear Grylls, which airs tonight.

    Last week, Zac Efron had the time of his life jumping out of airplanes and dining on worms with Grylls in the Catskills Mountains.

    For Stiller’s first ever rappel down the face of a cliff, Grylls decided to try and use humor to help the visibly nervous Stiller conquer his fear.

    “Ben has never rappelled before, so I am going to try and make it a little bit fun,” says Grylls in a clip of the rappel. “I figured if he’s laughing, he’s not scared!”

    Not so sure his tactic worked since the Zoolander actor continues to have that nervous look on his face all the way down the side of the cliff.

    “This isn’t safe!” noted Stiller as the two rappelled into a ravine looking for food and shelter for the night.

    On the other hand, Stiller did succeed in scaling the face of the cliff despite his fears.

    Channing Tatum, Tom Arnold, Deion Sanders and Today show’s Tamron Hall will also try to beat the wild under Grylls‘ guidance in future episodes.

    “Running Wild is where I get to take some of our most loved Hollywood stars out on a great 48-hour adventure,” Grylls said in a promo for the series. ”And I think what has been powerful for me is seeing how the wild can transform people, and it can empower people, and it can reconnect them with who they are. I think the danger of fame is that it’s easy for people to go a little bit mad.”

    Running Wild with Bear Grylls airs Monday at 8 p.m. on NBC.

  • Zac Efron ‘Running Wild’ with Bear Grylls, Bares Those Abs Once Again

    It seems highly unlikely that we’d ever see Zac Efron in anything — including MTV award shows — without taking his shirt off to bare those beautiful abs. Even in his latest adventure — heading off to the wild to survive under the tutelage of Bear Grylls — he doesn’t disappoint.

    Famous survivalist Bear Grylls lured in some famous celebs, including Ben Stiller, Channing Tatum, Deion Sanders, Tom Arnold, and The Today Show‘s Tamron Hall, to go on remote adventures with him for his new NBC reality show Running Wild.

    Efron’s episode joins the twosome as they venture into New York’s Catskill Mountains to repel down cliffs and jump out of helicopters — shirtless, of course.

    In a clip from the episode, Grylls and Efron are seen standing at the top of a high cliff with their shirts still on. Grylls takes Efron through his ‘survival’ plan in order for the duo to overcome their obstacle.

    Bear’s first survival tip?

    Take those shirts off …

    Next, Efron was told to stuff his shirt in his backpack and throw the backpack in the water below. That way, they’d have something dry to put on after the jump. Don’t want to suffer from hypothermia, needless to say.

    Wondering how difficult it was for the producers to come up with a survival plan in order to “give us a reason” to get Zac’s abs exposed?

    Gotta love Efron’s reaction. He obeys, because he is in the wild and needs Grylls‘ expertise. But he does not comply without expressing his reluctance. With a grunt as the camera pans in to get a better view of those abs, he removes the offending shirt.

    Perhaps The Neighbors star thought this would be one show where he wouldn’t be exploited for his gorgeousness! Nope, sorry Zac. When you got it, flaunt it!

    “Running Wild allows viewers to see inside the hearts and minds of these guests in a very open, honest and vulnerable way, pushing them out of their comfort zones and seeing what they are like in real life when stripped of all the benefits of celebrity,” Grylls said in a press release. “Ultimately, this show is about taking these stars on the adventure of a lifetime and being alongside them when they discover something new and empowering about themselves and their world. For me, that is always a privilege.”

  • Bear Grylls: New Show and Shirtless Zac Efron

    Bear Grylls has a new show coming to NBC on Monday the 28th of July. Called Running Wild with Bear Grylls, the adventurer’s first guest is Zac Efron. Zac has graced many of the promo bits that have aired for the upcoming show, and much is being made about his shirtless state.

    As everyone knows, Zac Efron is handsome–and yes, he has some amazing abs–but when you see the promo clip you are left wondering why both Efron and Bear Grylls needed to remove their shirts in order to go rappelling. You’ll soon realize it serves no real purpose whatsoever, except perhaps for the show’s impending ratings.

    “We reached out to him and he kindly said he was a fan of the show and that he was in 120 percent,” Grylls said in an interview with People. “He asked for the biggest, baddest adventure and it was an honor to oblige.”

    Bear Grylls chose a spot in the Catskill Mountains where special forces in the 1800s held training drills. In addition to rappelling, Grylls convinced Zac Efron to jump off a cliff with him, too. He did use a bit of coercion, however. He threw their backpacks into the water first.

    “I can’t believe how high this is,” Efron said before taking the plunge.

    “I like to think he got to use his muscles to their max through the adventure,” Grylls said.

    Ben Stiller, Channing Tatum, NBC’s Tamron Hall, and Deion Sanders will join Bear Grylls in subsequent episodes of the new show. Do you think they will all remove their shirts, too (obviously with the exception of Tamron Hall)? Or is that simply something Zac Efron did to help get Bear Grylls’ new show off on a high note?

  • Bear Grylls Tests Celebrities’ Survival Skills

    Bear Grylls Tests Celebrities’ Survival Skills

    Bear Grylls is slated to star in a new survivalist series for NBC — and this time he’s starring with the stars.

    In the new series, Running Wild with Bear Grylls, the survivor guru will take celebrities one at a time off to remote locations around the world and test their survival skills for 48 hours.

    Set to premiere in late July, Running Wild with Bear Grylls already has some A-list celebrities lined up for the task including Zac Efron, Ben Stiller, Channing Tatum and Tom Arnold, as well as former NFL player Deion Sanders and TODAY anchor Tamron Hall.

    “Viewers will get to see inside the hearts and minds of these guests in a very open, honest and vulnerable way, pushing them out of their comfort zones and seeing what they are like in real life when stripped of all the benefits of celebrity,” said Grylls in a statement. “Ultimately, this show is about taking these stars on the adventure of a lifetime and being alongside them when they discover something new and empowering about themselves and their world. For me, that is always a privilege.”

    Some of the adventures lined up for Grylls and his cohorts include skydiving in the Catskill Mountains and repelling down cliffs in Utah.

    Grylls previously starred on Man vs. Wild on the Discovery Channel from 2006 to 2011. The series saw him survive in locations all over the world with few supplies and no one but his film crew.

    “Bear’s incredible spirit is absolutely contagious, not only with his celebrity partners but with the viewing audience as well,” NBC alternative programming president Paul Telegdy said. “We can’t wait to see how these epic adventures will profoundly change those who take challenge.”

    Tamron Hall, who is currently on her big adventure with Grylls, tweeted some details about her pending trip.

    Running Wild with Bear Grylls premieres July 28 on NBC.

  • Deion Sanders Comments On First Gay NFL Player

    Since it’s been known that Micheal Sam would be the first openly gay player in the NFL, most have given him a lot of support and a few players in the league said they don’t care if he’s gay or not.

    And those same feelings were echoed by ex-NFL great Deion Sanders, as he visited the Arsenio Hall Show this past week and said having a gay player in the league is nothing new and he’ll support Sam no matter what. “I don’t condone or condemn,” said Sanders. “But I’m going to love him.”

    In addition, the legendary cornerback said having a gay player in the NFL isn’t unprecedented, what’s unprecedented is the fact that Sam chose to openly talk about being gay, and that’s where the difference lies.

    “He’s not the first gay guy in the NFL,” Sanders explained. “He’s the first one to come out. Let’s get that straight.”

    However, not everyone is giving their support to Sam, especially Jack Burkman, a Washington D.C. lobbyist.

    This past Monday, Burkman issued a statement and said that Congress needs to pass legislation that would ban gays from playing in the NFL.

    “We are losing our decency as a nation,” he said. “Imagine your son being forced to shower with a gay man. That’s a horrifying prospect for every mom in the country. What in the world has this nation come to?”

    Through Twitter, Sam quickly responded and said Burkman should transport himself back to the past if he expects gays not to join professional sports.

    “Jack Burkman is going to need a Delorian, not some bogus bill if he wants to prevent gay athletes from being in the locker room,” Tweeted Sam.

    And on Arsenio, Sanders said gay players have been in the locker room since the beginning of the league, so he doesn’t understand why everyone is making such a big fuss. “Every team I played on–I think I played on five different teams–there was someone gay in the locker room,” he said.

  • Deion Sanders, Pat Hanlon Have Verbal Spar On Live TV

    Deion Sanders should know by now that anything he says can and will be used against him regardless of how he tries to add a comical spin to it. His recent round of verbal sparring is a prime example.

    On Tuesday, Jan. 28, Sanders definitely made his presence known in Newark, NJ at the Media Day press events for Super Bowl XLVIII.

    The legendary cornerback actually snagged a brief, “exclusive interview” with Seattle Seahawks’ star running back Marshawn Lynch.

    For those who aren’t aware, the opportunity for anyone to speak publicly with media-shy Lynch is a laudable feat. Lynch ultimately walked out of the official, hour-long press conference after only attending for less than 10 minutes. 

    However, most NFL enthusiasts wouldn’t consider Sanders‘ talk with Lynch to be much of an interview, which was the crux of the problem.

    http://youtu.be/F-N85a1pppk

    New York Giants’ PR expert Pat Hanlon obviously felt some kind of way about Sanders’ tenacious approach with Lynch. As a result, Sanders and Hanlon, who was a guest panelist with the NFL Network, ended up exchanging words.

    According to Yahoo! Sports, Hanlon decided to cite Sanders’ not-so-great statistics as a tackler on live television. Sanders definitely didn’t appreciate the underlying insult about his career.

    NFL Network host Rich Eisen actually set the stage for the verbal confrontation when he lauded Sanders for getting even a brief interview with Lynch given his history with the press. Bob Raissman of NY Daily News provided a detailed dialogue of the sparring match.

    “And he’s also tough to tackle when you’re trying to interview him,” Eisen said.

    “Prime got him,” Hanlon said smiling. “Hey, they said Prime didn’t tackle anybody (when he played). Well, he just ‘tackled’ Marshawn Lynch… Sorry to bring that up. I’m a Giant.”

    Then, Sanders’ responded to Hanlon’s quipping insult. “I’m about to go into Beast Mode (on Hanlon). Name one game when you didn’t see me (make tackles) — especially against the Giants. Show me the tape,” Sanders said. “See, I get offended when people say that.”

    However, Hanlon wouldn’t back down. He opted to approach the situation again with adulation. “When I think about you, I think about you breaking (kicker) Brad Daluiso’s leg (in 1999) returning a kickoff,” Hanlon said.

    “Let’s not get off the subject,” Sanders said. “Name me one game… One game when you ever saw me cost my team anything? That (Deion Sanders) hit reel is 59 minutes long. If you want to be the last minute on that hit reel, you can.”

    Then, Hanlon opted for the public relations route in an effort to divert the negative nature of the conversation. “We can replay the tape,” Hanlon said. “I didn’t say you didn’t tackle. I said THEY said you didn’t tackle.”

    “Good, that’s a good way to get out of it,” Sanders said sarcastically. “Well done. That’s a good answer.”

    Its probably safe to say their proverbial jabs were actually worse than any verbal exchange between Seahawks and Broncos all week.

  • Deion Sanders To Play In NFL Pro Bowl? Maybe, Maybe Not

    Former NFL star Deion Sanders is in the news yet again. However, this time its all about football! NFL enthusiasts should be quite pleased to know that the former Dallas Cowboy has announced that he “will suit up in Hawaii” for the 2014 NFL Pro Bowl.

    Sanders, who is now an analyst for the NFL Network, hasn’t hit the gridiron to play a professional game since 2005. So, it should be quite intriguing to see how the 2-time Super Bowl champion performs. Shouldn’t it?

    According to the Sports Xchange, NFL officials are incorporating a new format for the Pro Bowl. Sanders and fellow NFL Hall of Famer Jerry Rice have been assigned as the designated team captains for the AFC and NFC teams.

    On Jan. 22, Sanders and Rice will start the two-day draft, during which time they will select players for both teams from the official NFL Pro Bowl roster. The big game will take place on Saturday, Jan. 26 in Honolulu.

    Yesterday, Sanders took to Twitter to make his big announcement to fans. However, it wouldn’t be Deion “Primetime” Sanders if he stopped with just one tweet. Of course, he had to engage in a little pre-game trash talk to heighten the anticipation for the big day. However, it was no surprise that he went straight for Rice!

    Sanders tweeted, “Ladies and Gentlemen I am officially announcing “I WILL SUIT UP IN HAWAII” Please let @JerryRice know that a real captain leads by example!” Rice replied, “Deion I would beat you down like the old days! We can suit up but it would be very painful for you!” This type of declaration should mean they’re actually playing in the game right? Not so sure.

    Although Sanders made his grandiose announcement, there’s still the burning question of, “Will he actually play?” According to ESPN, ProFootballTalk.com reported that a league representative said that Sanders won’t be playing, as he and Rice will spend the week preparing their teams. So, Sanders’ playing status is still quite unclear.

    But, nevertheless, the Pro Bowl should be quite interesting this year. Since its been a declining event among fans for the past couple years, incorporating Sanders and Rice may raise the ratings. Truth be told, the speculation definitely raises anticipation and awareness. But, fans will just have to wait to see who will really face off on the gridiron.

  • Deion Sanders Fired By Charter School, Students Rally Behind Him

    Deion Sanders has been fired from the Dallas-area charter school he co-founded for the second time in as many months.

    Prime Prep Academy’s Superintendent Rachel Sanders made the decision to fire Sanders from his position as football coach on Tuesday.

    In October, Sanders was fired after being accused of assaulting a co-worker, but was rehired the next day. Sanders vowed to fight the charges.

    Prime Prep Board President T. Christopher Lewis, who has taken Sanders’ side against the administration in a bitter power struggle, said of the most recent firing “I did not approve this dismissal nor would I have made that decision.”

    Lewis called Sanders a “significant asset” to the school. The former Dallas Cowboys cornerback is generally regarded as the public face of the school.

    According to WFAA-TV Dallas (Channel 8 ABC) about 75 students walked out in protest behind Sanders.

    The Prime Prep Athletics Twitter account has retweeted several messages from Sanders as well as those who have spoken out in support of him:

    The Prime Prep school board is scheduled to meet on Friday, and Sanders hopes they will fire the current administrators. “Right now they are trying to overthrow the board and do everything that is not legal and lawful. It’s unbelievable.”

    Sanders says the administration is loyal to Prime Prep’s other co-founder, former CEO and Executive Director D.L. Wallace. Wallace resigned on November 21, one day after being confronted in a Fort Worth parking lot by WFAA about “mystery rent payments” made with Prime Prep operating funds.

    The recent upheaval at Prime Prep has drawn the attention of the Texas Education Agency. Although the agency hasn’t launched a formal investigation, spokesperson DeEtta Culbertson says they are aware of the issues there.

    “TEA continues to be diligent in gathering information related to specific complaints regarding finances, special education and allegations of nepotism. It would be premature to comment on any of the specifics until our fact finding in each of these areas is complete. However, TEA is prepared to take the appropriate steps should action be warranted.”

  • Deion Sanders Fired From Prep Academy, Again

    “Neon” Deion Sanders has been fired, again.

    Sanders co-founded Prime Prep Academy in the Dallas-area in 2012, and for the second time this year, Prime Time himself has been fired. This time it has affected the students and players.

    While Sanders was being told to leave by security, about 75 students and players walked out of class.

    On Tuesday, while the Dallas County Deputy Constable kept Sanders at bay in the school’s parking lot, Sanders said, “I never dreamed this. I just dreamed of having the best academic and athletic institution in the country, and we are going to have it. We are going to have it…we just have to get this mess out.”

    The mess Sanders is referring to is the bitter power struggle he and Prime Prep Board President T. Chris Lewis are facing against the administrators. The same administrators who fired Sanders.

    Lewis told the Dallas Morning News, “I did not approve this dismissal nor would I have made that decision. I would imagine some of the board members would want to know the rationale for this firing.”

    “This is nonsense. We are sick of it. The kids don’t deserve it. Over-paid, under-qualified administrators never worked in a school in their life. Total chaos. We have a formula to restore what the was the dream at Prime Prep,” said Sanders.

    Right now the school is being run by Prime Prep’s general counsel, Dallas attorney Kimberly Carlisle, who took over after co-founder and former CEO and Executive Director D. L. Wallace resigned on November 21, 2013.

    Wallace resigned just a day after WFAA-TV questioned him about using school operating funds to make some mystery rent payments.

    Carlisle also seems to have a conflict of interest in running the school. According to Sanders, Carlisle’s mother is the cater for Prime Prep Academy.

    A meeting will be held this Friday and Sanders hopes the Board of Directors will fire the current administrators. Sanders said, “Right now they are trying to overthrow the board and do everything that is not legal and lawful. It’s unbelievable.”

    And like so many, Sanders took to his Twitter to make some cryptic and motivational comments about what is going on.

    Sanders has found a new mantra apparently, which he has tweeted out at least four times today.

  • Deion Sanders Workers’ Comp: Is He a Hypocrite?

    Despite being very vocal about being against concussion lawsuits during the Super Bowl last February, documents reveal that Deion Sanders had an injury claim of his own. The former Cowboys cornerback filed a claim against Dallas in 2010, citing multiple injuries, including head and neck injuries.

    The workers’ comp claim, which hasn’t yet been settled, comes as a bit of a surprise after Sanders ragged on the players who have lawsuits against the NFL for similar injuries. “The game is a safe game,” the now NFL Network analyst said. “I don’t buy all these guys coming back with these concussions. I’m not buying all that. Half these guys are trying to make money off the deal.” The NFL settled a concussion lawsuit for $765 million last week after more than 4,500 former players sued because of complications relating to concussions and other head injuries.

    The Division of Workers’ Compensation found that Sanders was 86% disabled in November 2010. Sanders’s workers’ comp claim says that he has more than a dozen medical conditions stemming from his time on the gridiron, including a sleep disorder and cognitive impairment. Despite his own claim, Sanders hasn’t had much sympathy for the claims that all those hits to the head can cause lasting issues, including depression and suicide.

    A Twitter user took Sanders to task after his Super Bowl comments, wanting to know what Sanders would have to say to the family of Junior Seau, the former NFL player who committed suicide in 2012. The comments Sanders made about the game being safe came just weeks after the National Institutes of Health said that Seau suffered from chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE). According to the NIH, CTE is a type of brain damage that has been “found in deceased athletes who suffered repeat concussions and other blows to the head during their careers.”

    It will be interesting to see how Sanders reacts now that his own lawsuit for similar injuries is revealed.

  • Deion Sanders Jr. Backstage Visit an NCAA Violation?

    Deion Sanders Jr., the son of former NFL star Deion Sanders (or “Neon Deion,” or even “Prime Time,” depends on what you prefer) might have just gotten himself into a bit of trouble.

    Last week, Sanders Jr. and some teammates from Southern Methodist University (SMU) went to the Lil Wayne concert in Dallas, but unlike most concert-goers, the SMU players got to go backstage. This event may or may not be an NCAA violation.

    While the elder Sanders was in Harlingen, Texas to watch a scrimmage, he received a phone call from his son telling him that he was being investigated because Sanders Sr. took him to the . Sanders Sr. then hung up and spoke with the media about the incident. Adam Lawson of the Valley Morning Star was in attendance and he tweeted out some of the information.

    But it seems it isn’t the NCAA that is looking into Sanders Jr., it’s SMU.

    Brad Sutton, an SMU official said, “It’s not the NCAA. It’s our compliance office. Just doing their due diligence. We don’t expect to find anything amiss, but it’s our responsibility to check stuff like this out.” SMU is checking to make sure the players got into the concert and backstage for reasons other than them being football players.

    It also seems Lil Wayne is no stranger to the Sanders family.

    SMU apparently didn’t make SMU football coach June Jones aware of the investigation, but he doesn’t see what the issue is with the incident. Coach Jones said, “If Deion wants to take his son somewhere, I think he can.”

    If Lil Wayne really is one of Neon Deion’s “best friends,” wouldn’t it make sense that Sanders Jr. would also know Lil Wayne? Don’t most people know their parent’s friends? And is it a crime that Sanders Jr. happens to have a famous dad who knows famous people?

  • Deion Sanders is Officially Divorced

    Deion Sanders is Officially Divorced

    After a long and contentious divorce, former NFL and MLB star Deion Sanders is now officially divorced from his second wife. The former Dallas Cowboy had originally filed for divorce from Pilar Sanders all the way back in September 2011.

    The divorce was approved on Friday, with Sanders announcing via Twitter that his prenuptial agreement with Pilar had stood up in court, and that he has gotten custody of his kids. He also threw out some relationship advice for athletes:

    His advice reflects the very contentious nature of his divorce. As an example, just over one year ago Sanders and his sons filed a police report against Pilar for allegedly assaulting Deion at his home.

  • Deion Sanders Tweets Photo Of His Sons Filing A Police Report Against Their Mother

    It’s fairly common knowledge that former NFL star Deion Sanders is going through a nasty divorce. The Pro Football Hall of Famer filed for divorce in December 2011. In March his estranged wife, Pilar Sanders, sued Sanders for $200 million, claiming the former NFL and major league baseball player and his adult daughter had posted libelous and slanderous comments about her. This was her response to a Tweet sent by Sanders daughter, Deiondra, which said Pilar was a “Gold-digging h*e.” Only adding fuel to the fire, Deion stated that the statement wasn’t defamation because it’s true.

    Well, things went a step further yesterday, when Sanders tweeted out a picture of him and his two sons filling out police reports, against Pilar. According to TMZ, Pilar busted into there former bedroom and began “kicking, biting, and scratching” Deion in front of his sons. You can see the photo that was tweeted below:

    (image)

    Sanders captioned the photo with the message. “filling out police reports now! Thank God for this platform to issue the Truth.” Shortly after he tweeted out the photo, he tweeted the following two messages, the bottom one has since been deleted:

    It’s now being reported that Pilar has since been arrested, on a misdemeanor charge of assault. An inmate listing on the Collin County Sheriff’s Office website showed Pilar Sanders was arrested Monday and booked into the county jain on a family violence charge.

    Deion’s divorce was already an ugly one, but it seems like things are getting more and more out of hand as the days go on.
