Dennis Rodman's Dad Is Crazy As Hell

Dennis Rodman, who hadn't seen his father in over a decade, found himself face to face with the man recently during an exhibition basketball game in Manila. But instead of kisses and hugs between the estranged pair, there were only punches. Before the NBA Legends and the stars of Team Philippines entered the court Monday night, the center of attraction was not Dennis "Bad Boy" Rodman, in whose moniker the exhibition game was named after. All eyes were on Philander Rodman Jr., the father of the former Chicago Bull, as he entered the Big Dome and settled to his ringside seat. He was accompanied by a couple of bodyguards. Philander was hoping to talk with Rodman, who was only three years old when he left their home and never came back. But Philander wouldn't have that opportunity.

According to Rodman's agent Darren Prince, the athlete's dad, Philander, showed up at the game "with a camera crew and an entourage of eight people and two bodyguards - he had apparently sold the rights to get him on camera with Dennis." A fight broke out, and Philander allegedly tried to punch Rodman's bodyguard, but missed. After downing several cans of beer, which were left scattered under his seats, he left the venue, shouting and cursing his son. Dennis was immediately escorted to the dugout by his body guards and the event's security personnel. Obviously, he still harbors ill feelings toward his father.

The feeling, after the snub, is now mutual. "Dennis felt used and was angry as his father has made only one attempt in 40 years to see or talk to him, and that was in 1996 when he wanted the rights to write a book about Dennis," Prince told the New York Post. Undeterred, Philander later went to Rodman's hotel, with camera crew in tow, and was promptly chased away by armed guards. According to Prince, "hundreds of fans" soon got a whiff of what was going on and began chanting: "Get out of here, you deadbeat dad."

Ashanti's New Movie

The official website for singer-actress Ashanti has revealed that she will appear in the "trilogy finale" Resident Evil: Extinction. The site does not reveal which role she will play in the Screen Gems film. She'll join returning stars Milla Jovovich, Oded Fehr, Sienna Guillory, Mike Epps and Iain Glen in the movie, based on the popular video game franchise.

"Extinction" revolves around the continuing battle against the evil Umbrella by Alice (Jovovich) and her allies. Russell Mulcahy is directed a script by Paul W.S. Anderson in Mexico. Germany's Constantin Film and Impact Pictures are producing. The first two films grossed more than $127 million at the North American box office. (source)

Good for her, I hope she does well. But I'm still not convinced about Mike Epps.
