Dwight Howard

On Sunday night, a nightmare of a season came to an end for the Los Angeles Lakers, as they were swept out of the playoffs by the San Antonio Spurs.

But Dwight Howard was not around to see the conclusion: he was ejected in the third quarter for cursing at a referee.

Will the free agent center return to the team?

It's unclear, but legend Magic Johnson took to Twitter after the game and laid into the supposed franchise center.

NBA star Dwight Howard is reportedly expecting his fifth baby - with his fifth baby mama - if accusations flying on Twitter this week are to be believed.

Howard's current girlfriend Christine Vest are about to have a baby, according to reports, which would take the Lakers center's total to five children.

By five different women ... again, according to reports not confirmed by the baller or any other 100 percent reliable source we can find at the moment.

Christine Vest, his girlfriend, was spotted at a recent Lakers game looking pregnant. Like "late second trimester pregnant," an AOL report noted.

Already at 15-18 and not included in the Western Conference playoff picture, things are about to get even bleaker for the Los Angeles Lakers.

Marc Stein has confirmed via Twitter that Dwight Howard has a torn labrum and will miss a significant period of time.

The Lakers, of course, acquired Howard in a blockbuster trade this offseason, but he's struggled to find his place following back surgery a few months ago.

Los Angeles Lakers star Dwight Howard and ex Royce Reed are still embroiled in a bitter custody battle about their son - one she feels he should pay for.

Royce, who you may remember from VH1's Basketball Wives, wants Howard to pick up her legal bills as he seeks to gain sole custody of their young son.

According to TMZ, Howard earns $1.3 million per month and should pay her bills, otherwise the legal fight isn't really a fight, as she can't afford it.

McKayla Maroney is not impressed by much.

She's just hard to please ... don't blame a girl for having high expectations of herself and others. The Olympics' funniest Internet meme continues today with the U.S. gymnastics standout still not impressed by various people and events.

Specifically, the Dwight Howard trade ... the rest of the NBA may be shaking in its collective high-tops, but one sports star is so like, "Whatever."

This is not to say that McKayla's demanding standards are reserved for sports alone. She was equally unmoved by Kim Kardashian's wedding ...

... and Paris Hilton's new quote-unquote "career" ...

The Dwight Howard saga has finally come to an end, much to the extreme pleasure of Kobe Bryant and the Los Angeles Lakers.

This immature, dominant center has been traded to the purple and gold, getting his wish to leave the Orlando Magic and joining a roster that also included free agent signing Steve Nash.

With the league still needed to approve the deal, ESPN reports the Lakers will receive Howard; the Denver Nuggets will acquire Andre Iguodala; the 76ers will receive Andrew Bynum and Jason Richardson; and the Magic will get Arron Afflalo, Al Harrington, Nikola Vucevic and one protected future first-round pick from each of the three teams.

The blockbuster positions Los Angeles to really challenge for the title in what ought to be one of Bryant's final years as a true NBA superstar.

Does it make the Lakers the favorites, though? You tell us: Will they win the championship with Howard?

Some good news for Orlando Magic star Dwight Howard, whose team just went down 3-1 to the Atlanta Hawks - he won a HUGE lawsuit against his baby mama.

Of course, if you're suing the mother of your child at all, there's a limit to how "good" you can consider things. Still, a $500,000 judgment? Holla!

Dwight sued Royce Reed for talking smack about him, and was awarded $500,000. Shockingly, she hasn't paid up, so he's going after her in California.

Howard won the judgment against Royce Reed because she violated a court order, prohibiting the Basketball Wives star from talking about him in the press.

Dwight claims Reed now owes him $551,606.74 with interest.

So far, he's gotten nada from Reed. Unwilling to let bygones be bygones, he's now filed in California court for the right to go after her ass(ets )in California.

Of course, that implies she has any there.

Dwight Howard is a multiple-time NBA Defensive Player of the Year. He rarely needs help on the court to stop an opposing team from scoring.

But the Orlando Magic center will soon need help in the court to stop his baby mama from limiting the amount of time Howard can spend alone with his son.

He refers to himself as Superman on the court. But Dwight Howard's baby mama wants him to be a super father.

It all started two weeks ago, when Howard picked up his two-year old from preschool. Ex-girlfriend Royce Reed actually called the cops on the NBA star as a result of this action because it wasn't part of their custody arrangement.

Now, Reed has filed a motion in Florida that claims Howard often misses scheduled visitations with their son also alleges that the toddler "acts out emotionally and physically and resists being taken by" Dwight's nanny.

Dwight Howard's efforts to hush Royce Lyndsay Reed haven't succeeded so far.

The NBA star says his baby mama is bashing him all over the Internet, and has filed a lawsuit against her (his second this month) to cyber-silence her.

Royce, the mother of his 2-year-old son, has been making some defamatory comments on gossip site lipstickalley.com, according to Dwight Howard.

Dwight claims Reed posted comments - "directly or indirectly" under an Internet alias - in violation of an injunction he just recently filed against her.

The Orlando Magic center sought to prevent Reed from uttering his name at all or using her baby mama status to be filmed on Basketball Wives.

Dwight Howard wants Royce Reed to zip it ... or else!

A few of Royce's supposed anti-Dwight comments he's referring to:

• "[Dwight Howard] hasn't seen his son in two months."
• "Why file an injunction if you have nothing to hide?"
• "But the bottom line is Dwight is a douchebag."

According to Reed's lawyer, Dwight's baby mama is "flabbergasted" by the latest lawsuit, claiming she has nothing to do with the comments online.

Dwight Howard is seeking $9,205,000 in damages.

The alleged affair between Tiger Woods and Rachel Uchitel isn't the only scandalous relationship making headlines in the Orlando area this week.

NBA star Dwight Howard of that city's magic is determined that negative word about him will be spoken by his baby mama ... we mean legally.

According to a judge, she's not even allowed to speak his name.

Court documents filed in Florida show that the superstar went to war in October with Royce Lyndsay Reed, the mother of his 2-year-old son, after she allegedly called the baller a deadbeat dad on her blog, Twitter and even on ESPN.

Dwight also alleges Royce Reed "is attempting to become a celebrity" even agreeing to "participate in a VH1 television show called NBA Wives."

Royce Reed: Orlando Magic dancer and Dwight Howard baby mama.

As for how you can be on a show called NBA Wives and not be married, well, see Bravos Real Housewives franchise for lots of unwed precedent.

Dwight Howard won an injunction against Royce. Meaning what?

She's banned from "using or publishing, directly, indirectly or by innuendo, [Dwight's] name, nicknames, image, brand photographs, and/or likeness."

That would make it pretty much impossible for Royce Lyndsay Reed to appear on NBA Wives, which is probably what Dwight wants to ensure.

The lesson for the b-ball star? Be careful who you let see Dwight Howard nude, because they'll only try to cash in later. That and work on your jumper.
