With Jackie’s latest emotional moment on the most recent episode of the VH1 series, it’s not surprising that viewers are asking how old Jackie Christie is.

Dennis Rodman apologized Thursday for comments he made in North Korea about a detained American missionary, saying he had been drinking and was under pressure as he organized a game with former NBA players.
The former basketball star issued the apology through publicist Jules Feiler in an email message to The Associated Press, a day after he sang “Happy Birthday” to North Korean leader Kim Jong Un at the start of the friendly game.
Rodman has been slammed for not using his influence with Kim to help free Kenneth Bae, the missionary in poor health who is being confined in North Korea for “anti-state” crimes.

Dennis Rodman and a group of former NBA players are in North Korea to play basketball for Kim Jong Un’s birthday, being compensated for their appearances by one of the world's biggest despots.

What they're making on this trip is a mystery,...

The full Frank Ocean interview with The Guardian is out, and it's worth a read. Several passages really stuck with me, but I really liked this one about why he put the liner notes out like he did. "It was important for me to know that when I go out on the road and I do these things, that I'm looking at people who are applauding because of an appreciation for me. I don't have many secrets, so if you know that, and you're still applauding … it may be some sort of sick validation but it was important to me. When I heard people talking about certain, you know, 'pronouns' in the writing of the record, I just wanted to – like I said on the post – offer some clarity; clarify, before the fire got too wild and the conversation became too unfocused and murky." Words of wisdom more than a few celebrities could learn from.

Scandal and infidelity may be commonplace in the pro-basketball world, but Jackie Christie and her husband, retired L.A. Laker Doug Christie, are definitely the exception to the rule.
The couple, who wed in 1996, have long been known for their dedicated marriage. For example, before Doug retired from the NBA in 2007, his mysterious hand signals on the basketball court (which apparently meant "I love you" to his wife) caused a major stir among professional athletes -- critics wondered why he was so public about his affections for his wife.
Their close relationship even garnered them a reality TV series -- "Committed: The Christies" -- which ran for two seasons in 2006 on Bet. The Christies, who renew their marriage vows every year, and also wrote two books together, including 2007's No Ordinary Love and Luv-Pons: A Fun Variety Love & Romance Guide For Couples, which was released on Valentine's Day last year.

This week during part two of VH1's "Basketball Wives L.A." reunion show, the ladies continued their verbal assault and distaste for Doug Christie's wife, Jackie. While former NBA star turned television host John Salley tried his best to intervene, Christie's castmates managed to give their two cents.
"You thought that you were going to puppeteer us and have us all fighting, and you were just going to stand and be glorious, the queen bee," said Draya. "That ain't this show, this L.A. The underdog rose to the top on this show."
After Salley asked each cast member whether or not they could be friends with Christie she responded with a few choice words. Check out the clip above to see her surprising response.
