You've dabbled in reality TV before, so what made you wanna be a part of this VH1 show?"I was really intrigued with it. I thought it would be exciting and I wanted to show a different side. I love the Miami show ... but L.A. will be a different look."
A judge ruled against the NBA star's request to block Laura Govan from appearing on the show and mentioning his name. The judge said Gilbert's claim that details of his family life should not be aired on the reality show — is undercut by the fact he has "tens of thousands of Twitter users who follow [him] as he tweets about a variety of mundane occurrences."
"In a showing of unparalleled hubris, Plaintiff claims that he is so famous and important that simply mentioning the words 'basketball wives' in the same sentence as Govan's name -- even without actually mentioning Plaintiff's name -- impermissibly impinges on his rights. Essentially, Plaintiff claims that because he is famous, his ex-girlfriend is not allowed to talk about her life. Plaintiff is wrong. Govan has a constitutional right to tell her story, even were it to result in an unauthorized biography of Plaintiff."
Kim Kardashian is set to marry a basketball player herself. She's engaged Kris Humphries of the New Jersey Nets. Do you have any advice for her about being a basketball wife?
I think Kim pretty much has it under control. The one thing I would tell Kim is to support her man 1000%. Kim should put him first and make sure that whatever his needs are, she meets them. But she should be totally fine. She’s a pretty girl, she’s really smart, and she seems like she really loves Kris.
“I signed on to participate in the show to elevate the negative perception … that [it] is purposely filled with flighty, overly emotional and senselessly dramatic women,” she said in an email to the Post. “Yes, my life is chaotic, dramatic and surreal, but I am also a businesswoman"
