Mini Recap: Lebron James at The Park

So yesterday I told you that Lebron would be at The Park (920 14th St.) and he brought all of his 'friends' with him...

The Park was it's normally boughie self with everyone acting a bit too self-important and then letting it hang out a little when the drinks set in. 

Still, it was the place to be last night after the Wizards spanked Lebron's beloved Cavaliers. Trying to dull the pain of losing, the Cavs were out including Damon Jones and Ben Wallace. Also in the building were the Wiz Kids (sexy fine) Caron Butler, Andray Blatche and... 

DeShawn Stevenson. We've all heard about the tiff between Lebron and DeShawn when Lebron said that he was Jay Z and DeShawn was Soulja Boy...kinda funny actually (if you're lost, read more here). Anyway, DeShawn brought Soulja Boy to the Verizon Center yesterday...I don't know if it was to prove a point or to simply say touche but it definitely added fire inside the Center.

Okay, back to the recap...also in the building were Supersonic's Kevin Durant and of course the Redskin's Carlos Rogers and Clinton Portis.

Oh yea, and ETeezy had the skinny on the brawl that was about to break out at The Park. He writes:

However, the best part of last night was when DeShawn Stevenson and Damon Jones started jaw jacking about the series and almost got into a PHYSICAL ALTERCATION. Those dudes had to be separated by security and their friends. Afterward, all you heard was DeShawn saying, "It's on, it's on. I'll see them punks on Sunday". And Damon was cosigning Lebron saying, "That's why Bron gonna give ya'll 50".

p.s. Blocks away Brendan Haywood partied at Be Bar.

Recap: Caron Butler's Birthday Party

Before I head out tonight I might as well tell you what went down yesterday around 14th and K Streets (Northwest of course). Caron Butler celebrated turning 28 (wow, that's it?...the man looked good last night with his wife...dag) at The Park at 14th.

I saw a lot of familiar faces at this 'invitation' only event; the DC socialites were definitely out. Joining us were b-list celebs like Carmen Electra...and although they used Kim Kardashian's face on the flyer I never saw her. Still, I could have easily missed her as this small spot has four floors each with its own lounge and dance floor. I wound up on the 3rd floor as the 2nd floor was reserved for VIPs.

Still, Caron is a baller so you know all of his teammates were in the building. I felt short for once; I'm 5'10" (yeaaah!) with Antwan Jamison, Gilbert Arenas and Andre Blatche in the building to name a few. Even the NFLers came out...Ray Lewis trekked from Baltimore to celebrate with the kid. He was even mixing and mingling, sweat dripping off his funny shaped head (Go Ravens!)...he's a cool dude tho. UMCP Alum and the most going out football player ever Vernon Davis popped up with Lavar Arrington, Roger Mason, Antonio Freeman and even Jason Campbell.

We can't forget the baseball players...I don't watch baseball so alls I know is that they played for the Boston Redsox and since one of them spilled his drink on me, their agent bought me martini's all night...great night. not so good morning. lol.   :)

Hmmm...something about this picture is all wrong. Can you guess what it is? Oh yea and Gilbert is d-runk.

It was a great night if you're a big sports fan and after everyone had about 2-9 drinks in them people were dancing instead of standing around getting annoyed because the place was absolutely TOO small to handle everybody in a civil manner...and fans could even wait outside to get autographs from their favorite ballers. Did I mention that Caron looked good?

Anyway, it's another FM Girl night so I gots ta' go.

Stay fab snitches! :)

MIAMI, Nov. 27 -- Washington Redskins safety Sean Taylor died early Tuesday from the gunshot wound he suffered a day earlier in his Miami home.

"He did not make it through the night," said Taylor's attorney, Richard Sharpstein, who called the incident "a ridiculous, unnecessary tragedy."

Taylor, 24, a Pro Bowl safety whose rocky first years in the NFL had given way to what teammates called a newfound maturity, died at Jackson Memorial Hospital, where he had been taken after being shot once in the leg early Monday morning. Police are investigating the incident as a possible home invasion.
