HOLYFIELD BROKE! YOU WON’T BELIEVE WHAT HE’S SELLING!

By Anonymous -

Boxing champion Evander Holyfield is set to auction a slew of memorabilia including the bronze Olympic medal he won at the 1984 Summer Games.

Also on the block: championship rings and belts; gloves, trunks and robes worn inside the ring; signed promotional photos and posters; and women’s and men’s diamond jewelry including watches from Rolex, Cartier and Patek Phillippe.
Holyfield’s 1962 Chevrolet Corvette is also up for grabs during the auction, scheduled for Nov. 30 at Julien’s Auctions in Beverly Hills.

“From his humble beginnings as a teenage boxer in Atlanta, to his storied and fabled career inside professional arenas around the world, Evander Holyfield has demonstrated his commitment to excellence at every opportunity he has been given, enabling his professional record, and his fists to speak for themselves,” read promotional material with the auction announcement.
It made no mention of the sad circumstances likely behind the auction: The Champ is broke. “When it falls, it falls, ” Holyfield said during an exclusive interview with Atlanta Journal-Constitution reporter Bill Torpy last month.

The interview took place as Holyfield was being evicted from his 109-room mansion in Fayette County. “The only time you’re broke is when you have no ideas,” Holyfield said during the interview last month. “I’m a winner. I believe on Earth you will be tested. I have been tested.”

In the latest blow, Holyfield was interviewed at this summer’s London Olympics – but the NBC reporter he spoke to didn’t recognize him, and just talked to him like any other fan. He was a good sport about it, though, tweeting: “When I do the Today show I will be sure to wear a shirt that has my name on it, front and back. Probably carry a sign as well for back up!”

FOX NEWS HOST REFUSES TO BOARD PLANE WITH BLACK FEMALE PILOT

By Anonymous -
conservative commentator and author Ann Coulter has lost her mind! She refused to stay on board a Miami to New York flight after learning the pilot was a Black woman. According to witnesses, Coulter was concerned the experienced, decorated pilot may have gained her position as a result of affirmative action and wasn’t fully qualified to fly. The incident began when Coulter boarded the American Airlines flight and took up her first class seat. After a trip to the bathroom, she noticed the pilot was a black woman and became immediately distraught. According to passengers, at that point Coulter stood at the front of the cabin and began screaming her concerns to the entire flight as they finished boarding. “Aw come on people, a black woman flying a plane? You know she got that job through affirmative action. Am I the only one worried about this? I mean hello? Our lives are at stake here…” The confused passengers weren’t sure what to make of Coulter’s outburst, and rema

After pouring thousands of dollars into her decrepit house, Tocco Collins made the heartbreaking discovery that she had been seriously scammed. The mother of 12 had waited patiently for her landlords to deliver on their promises to fix the house’s holes, broken windows and burned out light box, CBS Atlanta reports. But after seven months, Collins learned that the phonies she had been paying $600 a month in rent didn’t own the home and had also skipped town. The actual owner had no idea her home was being rented out. “Step by step, I’m trying to make some effort,” Collins told the news outlet. “Right now I’m lost.” The Atlanta mother and her children are now homeless. They’re also at risk of getting broken up by child services, a devastating fate that do-gooders are trying to prevent. Members of Occupy Atlanta are raising money for the family to buy a new home, and volunteers said they would help renovate the new residence after it’s secured. Getting duped by a

Larry Smith, producer of some of the most cherished hip-hop records of the Eighties, including Run-D.M.C. 's first two albums, died Thursday at the age of 63. Radio host Combat Jack broke the news on Twitter , writing: "Just spoke to his family. RIP Larry Smith, the original King of Beats who passed away last night."

The two co-produced a handful of tracks for Jimmy Spicer – including the oft-sampled "Money (Dollar Bill Y'All)"  – before helping make hip-hop history with Run-D.M.C.'s
