Guess How Much It’ll Cost You To Hit Diddy’s Grammy After Party!! $$$

Being the baller he is, Diddy wants to make sure he’s only surrounded by fellow ballers when he parties it up at the Playboy Mansion following this year’s Grammy Awards. I mean, I can only assume so…judging by the INSANE price tag on a ticket to get into the shindig. Find out what it’ll hit your pockets for after the jump.

If you wanna party with Diddy at the Playboy Mansion, you better be freakin’ LOADED — because TMZ has learned, tickets for the rapper’s post-Grammys after party top out around $50,000 each.

The cheapest ticket is a slightly more affordable $1,500 and they go up from there — $15,000, $25,000 … all the way up to $50,000 — depending on what services you may require at the black tie affair.

Sources connected with the party promoters tell TMZ, the $50,000 Monster Cabana ticket gets you 2 cabanas, VIP admission for 20 people, buffet dinner, open bar, free bottle service … and 15 dedicated female promotional models.

Thankfully, it’s all for a good cause — the party’s proceeds will go to benefit the Angelwish Foundation for children afflicted by HIV/AIDS.

NBA: Guess Which Player Is NBA’s Highest Earner?! Check The Top 5

The Los Angeles Lakers are back on top as the NBA’s most valuable franchise and All-Star guard Kobe Bryant retains his crown as the league’s top earner.
Check out what he made and the top 5 after the jump…

The latest evaluation from Forbes Magazine estimates that Bryant will earn $53.2 million in salary and endorsements this year, well more than his closest competition. Miami Heat All-Star forwardLeBron James is No. 2 at $49 million.

Bryant’s following has allowed him to amass an endorsement portfolio of global brands including Nike, Smart Car, Panini and Turkish Airlines that pay him $28 million annually. Factor in his league leading $25.2 million salary from the Lakers and Bryant is the NBA’s top-earning athlete at $53.2 million.

Bryant’s Lakers salary is $3 million greater than any other NBA player thanks to the idiosyncrasies of the NBA’s maximum salary rules on individual players.

Bryant, 33, is a 5-time NBA champion and 13-time All-Star. He is currently leading the NBA in scoring, at 30.5 points per game and is currently the Western Conference’s leading vote-getter for the 2012 All-Star Game. Entering this season, Bryant had earned more than $196 million in salary during his career, according to Basketball-Reference.com.

In December, Vanessa Bryant, Kobe’s wife, filed for divorce. She will reportedly receive up to $75 million in the divorce settlement, including three California houses owned by the couple.

The rest of the top-5 NBA earners, according to Forbes: Heat LeBron James ($49 million), Orlando Magic All-Star center Dwight Howard (28.9 million), Miami Heat All-Star guard Dwyane Wade (27.7 million) and New York Knicks All-Star forward Carmelo Anthony (26.5 million).

Whoa!! 50 Cent Is Betting A Twitter Fan WHAT on The Super Bowl?!

50 Cent is a betting man and he’s about to make this year’s Super Bowl a little more interesting. Fif reportedly won a $500,000 bet on the Giants in the NFC Championship game, but he’s wagering even more on the Giants’ ability to take down the New England Patriots on Feb. 5th.

The Hollywood Gossip first pointed out that Fiddy recently accepted a bet from Twitter follower @MyBestAssets that will cost him more than cash if the Giants lose:

The rapper quickly responded to the bet agreeing that he’ll post a nude photo of himself and @MyBestAssets said she’d post photo of both her “boobs and face” if the Giants win.

Will 50 Cent really tweet nude photos of himself if his team loses? Guess we’ll have to wait and see.

Jennifer Lopez Pays Her Boy Toy Casper Smart $10,000 A Week!! lucky young guy

Her love don’t cost a thing? The latest issue of Star magazine begs to differ! Apparently J. Lo gives her 24-year-old boyfriend Casper Smart a $10,000 a week allowance. Ba-nanas. More details after the jump

“Jen is taking extra special care of Casper,” a source exclusively told the new issue of Star.

“She hated having to whip out her credit card every time they go to dinner. And it bummed her out that Casper had to borrow money from her to buy Christmas presents, including hers,” the insider explained.

“So Jen figured it’s easier to give Casper a weekly stipend, and she thought $10K was a nice round number.”

As RadarOnline.com previously reported, just days into the new year, JLo, 42, and Casper were seen holding hands in Miami’s upscale shopping area, Lincoln Road.

The Jenny From The Block singer’s payouts will have a big impact on Casper, who go-go dances at L.A. club Boulevard3 for a mere $250 a night.

“Casper’s a young dude who blows what little money he has on clothes and flashy jewelry,” Star’s source exclusively revealed.

Now that he’s in the money and dating a Hollywood A-lister, Smart is learning how to live like a star.

“It’s a whole new world for him. He’s never been on a private jet, stayed in luxury hotels or eaten at five-star restaurants before Jennifer.”

However, Star revealed that there is one person who is not happy about the couple’s new arrangement, Jen’s estranged hubby Marc Anthony, who she split up with last summer.

“Marc is livid that Jennifer is throwing money away on this punk!” the source revealed. “He feels she shouldn’t be spending it on Casper. The kids are one thing – but her boy toy is a whole other ball of wax!”

For the full story, pick up the new issue of Star magazine — on newsstands now.

Wrongfully Imprisoned Man Awarded $25 Million

A Chicago man who spent 16 years in prison after being convicted of murder as a teenager has been awarded $25 million in damages after it was determined that he was wrongfully convicted.  Check the jump for the whole story and a video about how his innocence was proved!

Thaddeus Jimenez, 32, had spent nearly half his life in prison before being exonerated and released in May 2009. After being released, Jimenez then sued the city, accusing the police of ignoring evidence in his case, including a confession from another suspect, Juan Carlos Torres.

Nonetheless, Jimenez was tried and convicted twice and sentenced to 45 years in prison. More from the Chicago Tribune:
Years later, lawyers and students from the Northwestern University Bluhm Center on Wrongful Convictions and other attorneys reinvestigated Jimenez’s conviction and found that two key witnesses recanted their original claims that he was the gunman. The state’s attorney’s office then agreed to reopen the case.

If the verdict stands, it will be one of the largest levied against Chicago in the city’s history.
“The state’s attorney’s office … recognized an injustice had occurred and they corrected it,” said Jimenez’s attorney Jon Loevy. “They deserve a ton of credit for reopening the case … taking an honest look at it and correcting an injustice.”

Jimenez is reportedly now working at a restaurant. “He’s trying to figure out what to do for the rest of his life,” Loevy said. However, last December, Jimenez was convicted on drug possession charges and could be headed back to prison for up to three years. He sentencing is scheduled for February 1, according to CBS News.

Man Arrested For Eating The Eye And Brains Of Hacking Victim

A Florida man has been arrested for allegedly hacking to death a Connecticut man and eating the victim’s eye and part of his brain. We can all see where he made mistake right? He only ate the eye and the brain he had to eat the whole body(pause). Either way he’s in jail, probably in the crazy house eating jell-o all day. Click below to read the story.

Tyree Lincoln Smith, 35, was arrested Tuesday night on a Connecticut warrant for murder, according to police in Lynn Haven, Fla.

A property inspector discovered the body of Angel L. Gonzalez on Friday on the third floor of an abandoned home in Bridgeport, Conn., according to that city’s police department. A medical examiner determined that the cause of death was blunt head trauma and ruled Gonzalez’s death a homicide.

On Monday a cousin of Smith’s in Connecticut contacted the Bridgeport police about Gonzalez’s death.

She told detectives that Smith had arrived at her house Dec. 15 and said he wanted to “get blood on his hands” before going to a park and then to the abandoned home, where he used to live, according to an arrest warrant affidavit.

The next day, Smith returned to the cousin’s house with blood on his pants, hands and an axe, the affidavit said. Smith’s cousin said he told her that he was sleeping on a porch at the abandoned home when we was awakened by a Hispanic man and invited inside. Then Smith described beating the man’s face and head with the axe and collecting one of his eyes, a piece of his skull some of his brain matter, which he consumed in a nearby cemetery, the affidavit said.

The cousin told detectives she called Smith’s mother, who notified police on Dec. 16 that they may want to check the abandoned home and that her son had “mental issues,” the affidavit said.

Smith had left Connecticut for Florida on Friday on a Greyhound Bus, the cousin told detectives. Police and Smith’s relatives reached Smith by telephone, and in a recorded call Smith admitted that he had been at the abandoned house and that he told a relative that he had killed the man, according to the affidavit.

Federal, state and local law enforcement officers took Smith into custody at an apartment Tuesday night without incident, Lynn Haven police said.

It was not immediately clear whether Smith had an attorney.

(Photos) Rihanna Tattoos “Thug Life” On Her Knuckles….Seriously

Well, Rihanna is officially cray cray! Last night, the hit singer popped up at an L.A. tattoo shop and got inked by popular tattooist, Mark Mahoney. LOL at the very least, the knuckle tattoo is in the glow in the dark ink, so it’s not THAT visible during the day. Still pretty insane, though. She also appears to have gotten another one on her lower back. Check out some more pics of her adventure below. What’s your thoughts on the new ink??

Penis Tattoo Leaves Man With A Permanent Erection!

A 21-year-old man tattooed the words borow be salaamat, which means “good luck on your journeys,” and the first initial of his girlfriend’s last name on his penis and got a little more than he bargained for. The man’s tatted penis is now has permanent semi-priapic erection all the time! This kind of erection doesn’t hurt, according to doctors, but it has to be pretty inconvenient for him. I’m more curious to see how his girlfriend feels about her mans stiff-all-the-time penis. Read more after the jump.

You’d think somebody repeatedly sticking a needle in your penis would be a little off-putting, but the 21-year-old Iranian apparently thought it would be a grand idea to have Persian script reading borow be salaamat (good luck on your journeys), and the first initial of his girlfriend’s last name (“M”) tattooed onto his little gentleman.

He was left with a permanent semi-erection as a reminder of just how good the idea was.

His case raises a number of questions, not least whether the wish for good luck is directed to the penis or to the man, and if it’s to the penis, where, exactly, is it going? But, medically speaking, how could getting penis ink give make the organ go haywire?

The answer rests in the traditional technique the man subjected himself to. “Handheld needles are used and there is no control of the depth of the needle,” Iranian urologists reported in the most recent Journal of Sexual Medicine. “Henna, ash, and other natural pigments are used by traditional tattooists. They first use their needles to penetrate the skin. Then they apply the coloring material on the perforated skin surface.”

Naturally, this proved painful. After several days, the pain subsided. Soon after it did, though, the man noticed that his nighttime woodies were lasting a long time. A week later, he had a 24/7 priapic erection.

As erectile dysfunction pill commercials constantly remind us, non-sex-related erections lasting longer than four hours are dangerous for penises. The lack of fresh blood flow can starve the spongy tissues of oxygen, destroying them and resulting in impotence.

There are two types of priapism, ischemic and non-ischemic, according to UCLA urologist Dr. Jeffrey Bassett. In a normal erection, blood flows into the penis via arteries, and as pressure builds, the veins leading out are temporarily blocked. In ischemic priapism, the veins don’t open up again.

In non-ischemic priapism, the veins allow blood out of the penile tissue, but too much blood is flowing in via the arteries and the veins can’t keep up. So blood pressure builds. This isn’t as dangerous since fresh blood is coming in all the time, but it can be pretty inconvenient. If it doesn’t resolve, either on its own or with treatment, it can cause damage in some cases.

Bassett once treated a 24-year-old skateboarder who’d traumatized his pelvic area in a skate accident. It tuned out that the injury caused a blood vessel fistula that interfered with normal flow into and out of the penis.

According to the Iranian doctors, this is what happened to the young man. The tattooist punctured too-deep holes that damaged vessels in the penis, resulting in fistulas, and then a pseudoaneurysm, a pooling of blood outside a vessel wall. They recommended he see a specialist to have the blood removed, but he rejected that idea and saw another doctor to have a shunt procedure performed. It didn’t work.

Since the fellow is still able to have sex, and achieve a more-or-less normal erection, he’s rejected any more treatments, even the one his urologists recommended in the first place.

In one of those statements you’d think nobody would actually have to make, the Iranian doctors wrote “based on our unique case, we discourage penile tattooing.”
