Los Angeles Dodgers File For Bankruptcy, Blame Major League Baseball [Video]
Video After The Jump
One of the most storied franchises in baseball history filed for bankruptcy protection in a Delaware court Monday.
Los Angeles Dodgers owner Frank McCourt blames Major League Baseball for forcing him to make this decision.
MLB Commisioner Bud Selig said last week he wouldn't approve a proposed $3 billion dollar tv deal between Fox and the Dodgers that McCourt believes would have kept his team afloat financially.
"The Dodgers have delivered time and again since I became owner, and that's been good for baseball," McCourt said according to ESPN. "We turned the team around financially after years of annual losses before I purchased the team. We invested $150 million in the stadium. We've had excellent on-field performance, including playoff appearances four times in seven years.
"And we brought the Commissioner a media rights deal that would have solved the cash flow challenge I presented to him a year ago, when his leadership team called us a 'model franchise.' Yet he's turned his back on the Dodgers, treated us differently, and forced us to the point we find ourselves in today. I simply cannot allow the Commissioner to knowingly and intentionally be in a position to expose the Dodgers to financial risk any longer. It is my hope that the Chapter 11 process will create a fair and constructive environment to get done what we couldn't achieve with the Commissioner directly."
Former Dodgers manager Joe Torre said it was a sad day..
"It's sad. The Dodgers were a very storied franchise in my years in Brooklyn growing up and as a player going out to LA," he said. "I know the decisions that the commissioner made certainly weren't easy for him to make given that he understood that the, he felt that the organization and the city deserved better than that."
Raz B's Brother Ricky Romance Slaps Bouncer In The Face & Gets Manhandled [Video]
Video After The Jump
Ricky Romance tried to take on a bouncer twice his size and lost last night (June 26).
TMZ obtained footage of Romance, the brother of former B2K singer Raz B getting manhandled by security at Playhouse nightclub in Hollywood, California after inexplicably slapping one of them in the face.
After that it was pretty much a wrap for Romance as the guard punched him back -- knocking him into the street, before another one grabbed him.
TMZ reports that Romance was put in a headlock and lead towards a back alley (that doesn't sound good).
Romance was angry at being thrown out of the club. In retrospect he might have wanted to handle things differently.
Attempts by TMZ to reach Romance for a comment have been unsuccessful.
Check out the altercation below.

Music and Hollywood's biggest and brightest stars all came out to the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles for the 2011 BET Awards Sunday (June 26) night. Lil Wayne, Chris Brown, Nicki Minaj, Drake, Trey Songz, host Kevin Hart, Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith were all in attendance as BET celebrated the year in music.
The ceremony kicked off in royal fashion as the Queen of Hip-Hop Soul, Mary J. Blige, took the stage wearing an all-white jumpsuit performing "Mary Jane (All Night Long)" and "You Bring Me Joy" from her 1994 My Life album. MJB didn't stop there, bringing out Anita Baker so the two could sing Baker's 1986 classic "Caught Up in the Rapture."
Chris Brown came up big, winning the first award of the night, for Best Male R&B Artist, beating out the likes of Bruno Mars, Usher, Trey Songz and Cee Lo Green. The ever-controversial CB also took home an award for Best Collaboration for his Lil Wayne, Busta Rhymes-assisted track "Look at Me Now." It didn't end there for Brown. After a snafu that had Rihanna and Drake being announced as the winners of BET's Viewers' Choice Award, it was later learned that Breezy was the intended recipient, making that his third win of the night. Brown also lit up the stage performing a string of his own hits and then again alongside Big Sean, who rapped his #1 rap single "My Last."
Nicki Minaj was a shoo-in for Best Female Hip-Hop Artist, and as expected she beat out Diamond, Lola Monroe and Master P's daughter Cymphonique. Still, Minaj, who took the stage with her Young Money family, started her speech with, "Wow, I can't believe I won." The crowd laughed before she clarified her point and thanked Lil Wayne.
Alicia Keys shined as well, treating fans to a piano-laced set as she sang new single "Typewriter," "A Woman's Worth" with Bruno Mars and "Fallin'."
Throughout the night, a number of BET-related trending topics popped up on Twitter. #betawards, Wiz & Amber and Mary Mary made the rounds on the social networking site during the night as well as #kelly after Kelly Rowland performed her single "Motivation" with Trey Songz. The ex-Destiny's Child member received one of the loudest ovations of the night.
Duo Mary Mary won for Best Gospel Album, and Patti LaBelle received the Lifetime Achievement Award, which was presented by Gladys Knight. A potty-mouthed Cee Lo Green, Marsha Ambrosius and gospel's Shirley Caesar all honored the soul singer by performing a medley of her hits before LaBelle took the stage herself.
Cali Swag District came out with Doug E. Fresh and memorialized slain CSD member M-Bone, while fallen artists like Clarence Clemons, Nate Dogg, Gil Scott-Heron and Teena Marie were honored with tribute performances by Snoop Dogg, Warren G, Queen Latifah and others.
Beyoncé closed things out with a performance from the Glastonbury festival in the U.K. Wearing a gold glittered top, with her legs on full display, B started things off with "Best Thing I Never Had" and then turned it up for a lively version of "End of Time," both from her upcoming album, 4.
In the end, the 2011 BET Awards celebrated this year's best in hip-hop, R&B and gospel as well as honoring living legends. It was definitely a night to remember.
