Larry King Slams Clippers Owner Donald Sterling For Racist Remarks, Says "Get Him Out Of The League!"

Posted on Mon Apr 28th, 2014 9:51am PDT       By X17 Staff



The Los Angeles Clippers may have staged a silent protest at their game over the weekend after owner Donald Sterling's racist comments leaked online, but Larry King had no problem speaking out about the situation!

Larry dined at Craig's in West Hollywood on Sunday night, and when asked about Sterling's remarks, the TV icon said, "Get him out of the league ... any way they can!"

An alleged audio recording of Sterling and girlfriend V. Stiviano was posted on TMZ last week, and the NBA owner/real estate mogul says he doesn't want Stiviano bringing African American pals to his games or posting pictures of them online -- specifically Magic Johnson!

Sterling is heard saying, "It bothers me a lot that you want to broadcast that you’re associating with black people. Do you have to? ... I’m just saying, in your lousy f*cking Instagrams, you don’t have to have yourself with, walking with black people."

Stiviano says that all she did was take a picture with someone she admires. Sterling's alleged reply?
    "I think the fact that you admire [Magic] -- I've known him well, and he should be admired. And I'm just saying that it's too bad you can't admire him privately. And during your entire f*cking life, your whole life, admire him -- bring him here, feed him, f*ck him, I don't care. You can do anything. But don't put him on an Instagram for the world to see so they have to call me. And don't bring him to my games. OK?"


Um, yikes! Regarding Sterling's comments about Johnson, King added, "Terrible. The whole thing is terrible." We agree -- and the Clippers are making it clear that this is completely unacceptable as well.

During their warmup for their playoff game against the Golden State Warriors on Sunday at the ORACLE Arena in Oakland, the whole team got together in the middle of the court and ripped off their shooting jerseys to reveal inside-out red warm-up shirts, which hid the Clippers logo. When it was time to play, the team did put their uniforms back on, but they were all wearing black wristbands during the game.

"We're going to be one, everything we do, we do it together," Clippers point guard Chris Paul told ESPN. "Stay together, play ball."

Chris Martin Blames Himself For Split With Gwyneth Paltrow

Chris Martin chatted with BBC Radio 1's Zane Lowe last week, and now even more of his interview has hit the web. Martin talks about his band's new album, but who cares about Coldplay when he's dishing the dirt on Gwynnie?!

"I wouldn't use the word breakdown," he said of their sudden split. "This was more a realization about trying to grow up basically… if you can't open yourself up, you can't appreciate the wonder inside. So you can be with someone very wonderful, but because of your own issues you cannot let that be celebrated in the right way."

Wait ... doesn't that sound like he's taking the blame here?!

Martin continued, "What changed for me was, I don't want to go through life being scared of it, being scared of love, being scared of rejection, being scared of failure… About two years ago I was a mess really because I can't enjoy the thing that we are good at and I can't enjoy the great things around me because I'm burdened by this -- I've got to not blame anyone else and make some changes."

The Coldplay frontman concluded, "Up to a certain point in my life I wasn't completely vulnerable and it caused some problems. If you don't let love really in then you can't really give it back."

Wonder what prompted him to say this? Is this an attempt to get his estranged wife back or is he just trying to shift the focus from her to him?

EXCLUSIVE PHOTOS - Kris And Bruce Jenner Attend Church Services Together

Friendliest exes ever!

Kris and Bruce Jenner announced their separation last October, but they certainly didn't look like a pair that had split when they attended church services in Calabasas together on Sunday.

The former couple wasn't joined by any of their brood, and there weren't cameras following them, so it seems as if they genuinely wanted to spend some quality solo time together.

The 58-year-old momager didn't exactly dress up for the occasion, opting to wear ripped white jeans, Converse sneakers, and a $3500 Chanel backpack!

First holding hands at the airport and now this… are we sure their "divorce" isn't a PR stunt to drum up ratings for Keeping Up with the Kardashians?

Is Sean Penn about to propose to Charlize Theron?

Not only has he been acting like a father figure to Charlize's son Jackson, but he introduced his mom Eileen to his new lady love.

Sean Penn took his mom, Charlize, Charlize's mom Gerda and Jackson to brunch in Malibu on Sunday. He also accompanied Charlize and her mom to see Chelsea Handler's live standup show "Uganda Be Kidding Me" on Saturday night and planned an outing with Charlize and Jackson at a Los Angeles Dodgers game last Sunday. Now that's a lot of family time.

Although they just went public with their romance in February, the relationship seems to be getting more serious by the minute. Despite their 15-year age difference, the two actors have a lot in common, including their philanthropic work.

Sean will direct his girlfriend in the love story The Last Face, which will start filming in South Africa later this year. Seeing as Charlize was born in Benoni, South Africa that would be as perfect of a time as any to pop the question.

The men in their lives may come and go, but these two will always have each other.

Besties Katy Perry and Rihanna partied together on Friday night while celebrating mutual friend Major Lazer member Walshy Fire's birthday at 1Oak in New York City. Katy's rumored boyfriend Diplo is also a part of the electronic group.

Both singers ditched their bras and grabbed a cigarette during the wild night. Rihanna kept it casual in a white tank and jeans while Katy spiced it up with a black mini skirt, black cone bra and black knee-length boots. However, she added a touch of class with a Chanel tweed jacket.

The two girls reportedly had a falling out when Rihanna got back together with her abusive ex-boyfriend Chris Brown last year.

"There’s a lot of dark in this business," Katy told Elle UK about RiRi. "I know a lot of people out there with the most detrimental entourages — they are the root of their demise. It’s really unfortunate but you can’t save these people. My days of celebrity saving are over."

But now that the "Diamonds" singer has ditched Chris and is back together with Drake, Katy and Rihanna are back on as well. Let's hope it stays that way.

Pink and Carey Hart just can't keep their hands off each other.

The couple cuddled up to keep warm while shopping in New York City on Sunday. The usually private duo let their guards down and held hands while walking. Carey then kissed his wife's neck while inside a store.

The singer and motorcycle racer, who wore matching black and grey outfits, got married eight years ago, but seem to be more in love than ever. With their daughter Willow at home, the duo made the best of their rare one-on-one time together.

Despite their extraordinary careers, the down-to-earth couple apparently leads a ordinarily life. Carey told Rolling Stone that he and Pink are total homebodies.

"When we're home, we're home," he told the mag. "Me and my wife are into Game of Thrones and she sucked me into Nashville a little bit, but she'll watch Sons of Anarchy in return. But we have a kid so the chance to watch TV is rare."

 

Tori Spelling Hospitalized Amid Marital Trouble

Tori Spelling has reached her breaking point.

Tori was recently hospitalized for at least six days amid her ongoing marital drama, E! Online reports.

The reality star was spotted on Saturday afternoon with a pink hospital band on her wrist. Her husband Dean McDermott, who cheated on her last year, was by her side throughout the entire time. Onlookers told E! that he stayed with her for up to 10 hours a day.

Star Magazine recently reported that Tori is mixing prescription drugs and alcohol to help numb her pain. The mag claims that she's also been self medicating to maintain her 98-pound frame. Either of these reasons as well as the stress from her family woes could account for the hospitalization. She also looks thinner than ever following Dean's rehab stint and cheating revelation.

"I can never give him enough sex! He's never gonna be happy with just me," she said on her Lifetime docu-series, True Tori.

She took to her blog to tell her fans that she'll be using her new reality show to get her "voice back."

"I needed the chance to tell my own story," she wrote. "At the moment, I don't know if it will have a happy ending. But I need to get my voice back, and this is my way of doing that."

Tori recently revealed to Us Weekly that she want to make her marriage work for her children's sake.

"You don't stop loving someone because they do something really bad to you," she said. "He was my soul mate, but he completely broke my heart. It makes you not trust anything that's happened in your relationship. But until I figure it out, I don't want my kids to know any different."
