Last week, Kobe Bryant of the LA Lakers was fined $100,000.00 for hurling an offensive anti-gay slur against a referee on live national television. This week he and some of his Lakers teammates are featured in a new tolerance-preaching PSA in an attempt to undo some of the damage Bryant‘s slur caused last week. Check out the PSA below and see how Kobe Bryant, Pau Gasol, Ron Artest, Shannon Brown and Lamar Odom are trying to teach the message of tolerance.

BFFs Nicole Richie and Khloe Kardashian were spotted at the Staples Center in downtown LA last night rooting for the LA Lakers (and Khloe‘s husband Lamar Odom, in particular) and it looked like they were having the best time ever. Nicole tweeted a photo from the game last night but the pair were snapped professionally from afar as well.

The stars came out in support of the LA Lakers last night and made their way to the Staples Center in downtown LA for the 2010-2011 season home opening game. Because this was the first home game of the new season, there was a special ceremony to honor the 2010 NBA Champion Lakers that took place before last night’s game. A new championship banner was raised in the arena and the team was presented with their NBA Champion rings. Celebs like Davie Beckham, Denzel Washington and little celebs like Jaden Christopher Pinkett-Smith & Justin Bieber were in the hiz to support the Lakers … here are a few photos:

Justin Bieber joined an all star audience to watch the Los Angeles Lakers basketball team receive their championship rings and then go on to beat the Houston Rockets 112-110 at the Staples Centre last night. The 16-year-old and his new best friend Jayden Smith, son of Will, sat courtside for the nail-biting game which went to the wire with the Lakers shooting a three point basket at the buzzer to win. The two boys even got some attention form the Lakers cheerleaders who sat with the boys during half-time and posed up for pictures with the smiling duo. Bieber also showed off his own skills by grabbing a ball and shooting some hoops, much to the delight of the youngsters in the crowd. Just the night before Justin had performed a concert in the same venue. During the game Justin spent time chatting with football legend and LA Galaxy player David Beckham who has become a regular courtside at Lakers home games. David, 35, looked happy and relaxed as he chatted to the young star … And David got to sit next to a Hollywood heavyweight during the game – actor Denzel Washington. David and Denzel, 55, chatted and shared jokes during the game which was the first of the new 2010/2011 season.

And so … another season for the LA Lakers is now officially underway. The boys in purple and gold will be working hard this season for a threepeat championship … and that means their very famous fans will be filling the Staples Center all season long in support of their Lakers. It’s always funny to see which celebs hang out together at these kinds of sporting events … I mean, where else would you see Becks chillin’ with Biebs?

Congratulations are in order for the Los Angeles Lakers for their big win last night to take the 2010 NBA Championship … for the 16th time in the storied career of the franchise. The Lakers battled their arch-nemeses Boston Celtics in 7 games but managed to squeeze out a win last night to win their second NBA Championship in row!

The Los Angeles Lakers captured their 16th championship title as Kobe Bryant and Pau Gasol paced the attack with a nail-biting victory over the Boston Celtics. Bryant scored 23 points and Spain’s Gasol had 19 points and 18 rebounds for the Lakers who rallied from a 13-point deficit to beat Boston 83-79 in game seven, on Thursday. Forward Ron Artest finished with 20 points and five steals for the Lakers who avenged a 2008 finals loss to the Celtics and captured their second-straight championship title. “This is the sweetest,” said Bryant, who collected his fifth ring and was named MVP of the series. “It is the sweetest because it is against them (Celtics) and it is the hardest one by far.” It was a stunning turnaround from the first half for the Lakers in front of a boisterous crowd of 18,997 at Staples Center arena. “We did it with perseverance,” said Lakers coach Phil Jackson who won his 11th NBA championship ring. “I thought our defence was terrific. We were able to step in and play the kind of defence that we’ve established as kind of a calling for this team.” Bryant and his teammates struggled in the first half. Bryant scored just eight points as the Celtics led by six points, 40-34, at the half and 57-53 heading into the fourth of the defensive struggle. But the Lakers hung around long enough for Bryant to catch fire in the fourth quarter, sparking the offence outburst and dominating the rebounds under his own basket. “Tonight it (pressure) got the best of me,” Bryant said of his early struggles. “I wanted it so bad sometimes you want something so bad it slips away from you. “But my teammates picked me up and I can’t say enough about Spain (Gasol). That guy is unbelievable and we wouldn’t have won it without him.” The win was sweet redemption for the Lakers who still had a bitter after taste following their humiliating 2008 finals loss to the Celtics.

Now, I’m not a big basketball fan but I do enjoy rooting for my new home team (that is, when my beloved Detroit teams are no longer in the running) so I was happy to support the Lakers in the finals this year. OY! Last night’s game was so good, I couldn’t even watch most of it. I had to watch part 3 of The Real Housewives of NYC Reunion to keep my head from exploding with worry and excitement. I did watch the very end and, man, what a game. My hat is off to the Boston Celtics who made the Lakers WORK for this win … they are a great team and should be heartily congratulated for their efforts.

Last night’s back to back Lakers win reminded me a lot of the back to back NBA Championship wins enjoyed by the Detroit Pistons back in the early 90s … back then, the Pistons defeated the LA Lakers two years in a row. This latest win feels a bit like that. It’s a shame that moronic idiots have to ruin the fun by rioting in the streets (like they did here in downtown LA last night and, unfortunately, like they did in downtown Detroit back in the early 90s) but overall, it’s a happy day for Lakers fans today. Congrats! Let’s do it all again next year :D

First Lady Michelle Obama, her daughters Malia and Sasha, her mother Marian Robinson and some friends were spotted chillin’ in a skybox at the Staples Center in downtown LA last night for Game 6 of the NBA Finals featuring the LA Lakers vs. the Boston Celtics. The Obama ladies have been in town since Sunday, hittin’ up a few famous eateries, and surprised everyone by showing up at the game last night:

The President of the United States might be the basketball player in the family. But it was the Obama women who turned out en masse as surprise attendees at the Lakers V Boston Celtics last night. First Lady Michelle Obama, 46, daughters Sasha, 9, Malia, 11, and Mrs Obama’s mother Marian Robinson, 72, pitched up at Game 6 of the intensely competitive NBA Finals. While the games typically attract a huge celebrity turnout, all of Hollywood were abuzz with the news that the Obama ladies were in town. All eyes were on the group as they enjoyed the penultimate game in the series between the sporting superstars from a private box at the Staples Center in Los Angeles. Even the presence of Cheryl Cole’s mentor and rumoured new love will.i.am in their box, also intensely watching the game, couldn’t shift the limelight from the group who were being openly filmed by many spectators on their mobile phones. Mrs Obama was presented with a Lakers jersey by a club official, and fans clamoured to talk to the First Lady who seemed more than happy to accommodate them … Mrs Obama watched the Los Angeles Lakers extend the NBA finals to a decisive seventh game with a 89-67 victory over the Boston Celtics.

Of course the nation’s First Ladies weren’t the only big names in the hiz showing their support for the Lakers, a bunch of celebs were also spotted at the Staples Center last night to cheer on the Lakers … who went on to DESTROY the Celtics by a score of 89-67! Here are some of the other celebs who were at the game last night along with some deets:

Dirrrty singer Christina Aguilera sang the US national anthem, and the rest of the evening’s entertainment was taken up by watching both the game, and the anguished looks of the assembled celebrities. Courtside regulars included Jack Nicholson, Spike Lee, David Arquette, Leonardo DiCaprio and Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs. Transformers star Megan Fox hid under her baseball cap as she arrived with boyfriend Brian Austin Green, and married actors Josh Brolin and Diane Lane were in the arena. While British socialite Peaches Geldof made an appearance with director boyfriend Eli Roth at the event which is the showbiz town’s hottest ticket this week. Defending champions the Lakers forced the Celtics to the limit for the first time since 2005. Star player Kobe Bryant said: ‘I was very happy. We did a great job defensively. ‘We kept them out of the middle, kept them out of the paint, did a good job on the boards. It was a solid effort by us.’ A champion will be crowned Thursday night at Staples Center. The First Lady, her daughters and her mother have been in town since Sunday, enjoying dinner at a number of top eateries and stopping by legendary hot dog stand Pink’s before watching Tuesday night’s game.

Oh man, what a game … actually, it wasn’t really a game so much as it was a COMPLETE BLOW OUT! The Lakers dominated the entire game and looked like they could not be stopped. The Lakers will face the Celtics for the 7th and final game on Thursday night here in LA … the winner will be the 2010 NBA Champs. I’m pretty certain that most of the celebs featured here, save for the Obamas, will be in attendance tomorrow night for the final game of the championship series. Here’s hoping the Lakers can put on a repeat performance of last night’s incredible game. Woot!!

Last night the LA Lakers managed to pull of a last second win over the Phoenix Suns to take Game 5 (and the 3-2 lead) of the Western Conference NBA Finals and a host of celebs were in the hizzy at the Staples Center in downtown Los Angeles, CA to root for the home team … including soccer stud and super dad David Beckham. Here are a few photos that show the range of emotions emoted by Becks during last night’s game:

His injury means he is thousands of miles away from the England training camp. But luckily, David Beckham has found something to take his mind off the World Cup. The footballer was fired up over an LA Lakers basketball match this week and joined in with the locals hollering as his team won a crucial match. The LA Galaxy star, 35, is resting up after an injury to his Achilles tendon which has taken him out of the England squad for the World Cup. But as the team flew off to their Austrian training ground this week, Beckham was not slumped in the doldrums. Instead he was cheering on his basketball team alongside celebrities such as Anthony Kiedis of the Red Hot Chili Peppers. The Lakers won a narrow 103-101 victory in the dying seconds of the game. With less than a second on the clock, Ron Artest banked a final shot at the Staples Centre in Los Angeles yesterday. The defending champions were tied with rivals Phoenix Suns during the fifth match of the NBA Western Conference final playoff series. The team now have a 3-2 lead over the Suns in the best-of-seven series and are one game from the NBA finals. Other stars at the match included Joe Jonas of the Jonas Brothers and actor Zac Efron. Beckham has been spotted looking more relaxed recently, with beer in his hand at Lakers games and spending time with his wife Victoria and three children Brooklyn, Romeo and Cruz. And he will still be joining the England squad in South Africa. He won’t be training the players on the pitch but will be there as a confidant for the players as part of England’s backroom staff. Arsenal winger Theo Walcott said yesterday: ‘Just having him around, giving you advice, one of the best crossers of the ball, can only help. The most important thing he says is just enjoy it, play with no fear. And if you are young and play with no fear the best comes. It’s a shame his injuries mean he won’t have a chance to play in a last World Cup and he is a big miss. But he is going to help the players by being around and boosting their spirits.’

Aww … poor Becks. Welp, if he can’t really partake in the upcoming World Cup Tournament play, at least he can take part of the exciting sports festivities that are going on here at home in SoCal. At dinner with Darion last night, we were able to watch the last seconds of last night’s game and were very happy to watch the Lakers pull that win out of the fire. With 0 seconds on the clock, Artest‘s hoop made most of Los Angeles erupt in cheers! It was a really exciting end to a nailbiter of a game. If the Lakers win Game 6 on the road in Phoenix, then we very likely will not get to see Becks sitting courtside for the Lakers anymore … he’ll prolly be in South Africa if and when the Lakers advance the the NBA Finals. It’s a shame the Lakers are losing having Becks in the hiz, I’m thinking he was a pretty great good luck charm.

Seal, singer and hubby to supermodel Heidi Klum, stepped out with his sons Henry Günther Ademola and Johan Riley Fyodor to attend the LA Lakers v. Oklahoma City Thunder basketball game at the Staples Center in downtown Los Angeles, CA last night. Seal and the boys were there to cheer on their beloved Lakers, who successfully trounced the Thunder by a score of 111-87. Here are a few cute pics of the boys enjoying their night out together:

Now, of course it’s nothing new to see celebs and their kids sitting courtside at a Lakers game but these photos have to be the cutest pics of all time. Henry and Johan are just the cutest little boys, it’s nice to see them out on the town with their daddy. I understand the OKC Thunder have been a bit of trouble for the LA Lakers so it might be that the Samuel boys were the charm that led to their massive win last night. Here’s hoping they attend more games in the future to ensure the Lakers stay on their winning streak :)

Over the weekend, David Beckham (who is still recuperating from his Achilles tendon injury) and his celebrity chef BFF Gordon Ramsay sat courtside at the Staples Center in downtown LA to TRY and cheer on the Los Angeles Lakers to victory! Unfortch, the Lakers lost … but ah well. Throughout the game the guys joked, swapped Rolex watches, hob-nobbed with LA Lakers player Kobe Bryant and tried desperately NOT to pay attention to the sexy Laker Girls dancers … sounds like a fun boys’ night out:

Since moving to California three years ago, David Beckham has become an avid fan of local basketball team the Los Angeles Lakers. But as he introduced fellow Brit Gordon Ramsay to the game at the Staples Center yesterday, it looked like the pair were more interested in comparing their expensive watches than watching the action on the court. Seated in their $2,200 seats in the front row, the pair took off their flash timepieces to compare whose was the most impressive. The England footballer, 34, has an extensive collection of expensive watches, which includes a £5,500 Rolex Sea Dweller and an Audumers Piquet Offshore T3. Beckham, whose left leg is in a cast as he recovers from his ruptured Achilles tendon, also took care not to be photographed ogling the cheerleaders as they performed in front of him. With Ramsay, 43, spending increasing amounts of time Stateside due to his American version of Kitchen Nightmares, Beckham has been helping the celebrity chef to embrace the U.S. culture. But it seemed the two men appeared a tad distracted from the game as they caught up courtside yesterday. Ahead of the game, Beckham greeted Lakers star player Kobe Bryant – who is also injured with a swollen knee – and teammate Sasha Vujacic. Also at the game in the coveted front row sears were singer/songwriter Neil Diamond and Oscar winner Adrien Brody. Unfortunately for the Lakers, they were beaten 91-88 by the Portland Trailer Blazers.

Well, maybe if Becks and Ramsay were doing a better job of cheering for the Lakers the boys in purple and gold would’ve won the game … jerks. I guess I don’t really understand the notion of shelling out thousands of dollars for courtside seats to a game only to spend most of the time gabbing and not paying attention to the action. In any event, it’s nice to see Becks lookin’ so happy again. I’m sure he is still crushed that he won’t be able to participate in the World Cup this year … but it looks like he’s already gettin’ in practice to be a sidelined athletic supporter.

Here are a couple of supercute pics of Nicole Richie and Joel Madden enjoying a night out together at the LA Lakers game this week. The couple spend a lot of time out with the kiddies but they don’t get to do quiet date nights very often … it looks like they had a great time:

Undoubtedly, Nic/Joel had a fantastic 2009 together … not only did they get to watch their beautiful babygirl, Harlow Winter, grow into an adorable little toddler but they also welcomed the birth of a babyboy, Sparrow James. As their family grew so did their love. Here’s to a happy and prosperous 2010 for the Richie-Madden family. Considering how cute their babies turn out, I’d not be surprised at all if they decided to add another little one to the fam ;)

In the wake of the very sad news that Fox has canceled the Joss Whedon show Dollhouse, which stars Eliza Dushku, Eliza and her paramour Rick Fox made their way out to a LA Lakers basketball game in an attempt get cheered up … but from the looks on Eliza‘s face all night long, it doesn’t appear that she got cheered up at all. Here are a few pics of Eliza and Rick at the Lakers game last night along with a few tweets from her official Twitter profile posted yesterday about the end of Dollhouse:

Hear it here. Hey, that’s really why I started twitter, the rumors/news IS true: Dollhouse will not cont. past these 13 eps :( BUT… There’s always a but… I can’t express enough– this has been one of the MOST rewarding experiences of my career. Thank you guys!

Yeah, I’m sure Eliza is BUMMED about the end of Dollhouse. I loved her in the series, I loved seeing her on TV on a weekly basis and I loved that she starred in a Whedon project. I’m not sure if she’ll have the same opportunity again in the future but … well … the whole thing just sucks.

Eliza did tweet while she was at the game last night, showing that she might’ve been having a good time … or at least was being a good sport:

This Boston girl can enjoy a Laker game. Shannon Brown exploded a coupla times- dunked the net OFF. Go Celtics, tho ;)

Eliza rulz … she may be out of work at the moment but she won’t be for long … I’m sure of it.
