Shaquille O'Neal

Shaquille O'Neal is involved in some weird ass stories.

The Big Shamrock may or may not be engaged to Hoopz, may or may not have had an affair with Vanessa Lopez, and may or may not have hacked an employee's computer and attempted to frame him by planting child porn on that piece.

Shawn Darling is suing Shaq for intentional infliction of emotional distress, invasion of privacy and civil R.I.C.O. (a racketeering charge) in Miami, Florida.

Some of Shawn's explosive allegations:

• O'Neal conspired with active law enforcement to frame Darling for a criminal offense and destroy any evidence that Darling had against O'Neal.
• Shaq hacked the voicemails of Darling and Vanessa Lopez, who is currently suing O'Neal, deleting Lopez's messages and changed her password.
• O'Neal used law enforcement contacts to obtain restricted information about another mistresses, Alexis Miller, while he was legally fighting her.
• Shaq physically disposed of a personal computer holding evidence of many transgressions while married to Shaunie O'Neal in a lake behind his home.

Darling worked for O'Neal from 2007-2009 as his personal IT guy and claims he was originally hired to work on "different O'Neal family projects."

One of these dudes may or may not be engaged to Hoopz. The other may or may not take over the entire world soon. What could they be saying/thinking?

You tell us. Leave a comment. Leave 10 comments. We'll announce a winner Monday ...

A pair of champions might be coming together... literally!

Sources state that Nicole "Hoopz" Alexander (winner of VH1's I Love Money) and Shaquille O'Neal (four-time NBA champion) are engaged. The owner of a restaurant in Las Vegas claims he actually saw the basketball legend get down on one knee and propose to the reality star.

Nicole "Hoopz" Alexander: From the Illest Men's Magazine Ever into the arms of Shaquille O'Neal?

O'Neal divorced wife Shaunie earlier this year, who proceeded to claim he used their son to issue a death threat against her.

Alexander, meanwhile, is a reality series veteran who starred in a sex tape last year. She also appeared on Flavor of Love.

Yes, folks, this means the new Boston Celtics center might be ordering up Flavor Flav's sloppy seconds. We really hope Tiffany Pollard isn't next for him.

Take this, Westboro Baptist Church!

You can call Justin Bieber a sinner and an affront to God all you'd like, but you can't hold the young singer down!

Instead of wallowing in such absurd insults, Bieber is moving ahead with his career, looking to expand his audience by appearing on season two of Shaq Vs.

In that reality show, the NBA legend takes on a variety of celebrities in their fields of expertise, from athletics to dancing to cooking. In Justin's case, of course, this means singing, something O'Neal attempts to do below, joining in with Bieber for a duet during the latter's concert rehearsal in Phoenix.

It's a great clip:

Shaq and Biebs Duet

Shaquille O'Neal's estranged wife Shaunie has made some serious allegations against him before, but nothing like death threats ... coming from their son.

That's right. In court papers, Shaunie claims the NBA star, who she is divorcing, recently ordered their son to deliver death threats to her new boyfriend.

Lawyers for Shaunie O'Neal allege that jealous, deranged Shaq "interrogated" the couple's children to tell him everything they knew about her new man.

This "to the point that they felt intimidated and scared of him."

Shaunie also claims Shaq told their 6-year-old son to tell her boyfriend that Shaq "is going to kill him," and that Shaq even screamed orders at the kid:

"Say it now! My daddy is going to kill you!"

Shaq and Shaunie O'Neal pre-mistresses and pre-death threats.

Pretty lame if this is true, Shaq. Nothing like sending a six-year-old to deliver a threat when you cheated on her... and are seven feet tall and weigh over three bills.

Shaunie's lawyers demand Shaq halt "inappropriate discussions" with their kids, an alleged violation of the non-disparagement provision of their divorce judgment.

To that end, Shaq is threatening VH1 with a lawsuit if its show Basketball Wives, which features Shaunie, makes any additional references to the big man on the air.

The Diesel is accused of affairs with Vanessa Lopez, Dominica Westling, Laura Govan and who knows who else during their marriage. Lopez is suing him as well.

Shaunie is looking to secure a $h!tload of money.

Shaquille O'Neal is not happy.

The Diesel and his attorney fired off a heated letter to VH1 demanding they halt production on Basketball Wives, which features his estranged wife.

He believes Shaunie O'Neal is out for "televised revenge." Revenge for what?

Infidelity, probably. Dude supposedly got around like a record.

Shaq is threatening legal action should "any further episodes of Basketball Wives which make any reference to Mr. O'Neal" air. On what grounds?

Because Shaunie signed a confidentiality agreement at some point in their marriage, Shaq says, so if she starts spilling secrets on-air, it's so on.

Shaquille and Shaunie O'Neal in happier times.

Sources say that while the Basketball Wives premiere made no slanderous claims against Shaq, the second episode might make it to air following this letter.

Hmm.

The Cleveland Cavaliers center and rotund NBA legend has been linked to, among other women, mistress Vanessa Lopez, who is suing him for harassment.

She and Shaunie are actually teaming up against him as the latter seeks a fat settlement in their impending divorce. There's no telling what she knows.

Those Shaq text messages may be the tip of the iceberg. We can only hope. There's got to be dirtier stuff than that. Basketball Wives, come through!

NBA star Shaquille O'Neal is being double-teamed by his wife and his mistress, and not in a basketball manner. Or a sexual manner, for that matter.

Shaq's estranged wife Shaunie O'Neal and enterprising mistress Vanessa Lopez are employing the same investigator to dig up dirt on the big fella.

It all started when Shaunie filed for divorce in November and hired an P.I. to find any info on Shaq's infidelity that could boost her financial settlement.

The investigator discovered Shaq’s multi-year affair with Vanessa Lopez, who's now represented by powerhouse attorney Gloria Allred and suing Shaq.

As if that didn't help Shaunie gain enough leverage, she actually reached out to Allred and Lopez – not to bash them, but to make the affair public!

2-ON-1: Vanessa Lopez and Shaunie O'Neal are hacking Shaq ... legally!

“Shaunie tried to convince Vanessa to go public about the affair before Vanessa did go public,” an inside source said. “And she wanted Vanessa to go to the police too, based on allegations she heard about Shaq harassing her."

“What she discovered about Shaq and Vanessa, gave Shaunie the ammunition she needed to file for divorce and try to get the money she wants.”

Vanessa Lopez eventually came forward, and then did Shaunie one better, claiming Shaq harassed her and even enlisted pals to "shut dat bitch up."

Using the info Shaunie's investigator found, such as Shaq's text messages, she's suing for assault, emotional distress, invasion of privacy and more.

Lopez was disgusted by  info shared by Shaunie, who even believes that someone put a GPS tracking system on her car. Shaunie is taking a no holds barred approach, pushing full steam ahead with the divorce and aiding Lopez as well.

Talk about good team defense turning into transition offense ... or something!

Compared to Tiger Woods, NBA legend Shaquille O’Neal's womanizing ways have almost been lost in the shuffle. Maybe he needs to send racier texts.

Or have raunchy foursomes with Jesse James.

Anyway, some of the text messages Shaq sent to his mistress, Vanessa Lopez, have been revealed, supposedly after his wife Shaunie hired a private investigator.

After finding the correspondence, she decided to to file for divorce!

The texts don't exactly rank with the Tiger Woods text messages to Joslyn James in terms of flat-out ridiculous sexual content, but do suggest an affair.

An exchange dated September 4 went like this:

Vanessa Lopez: "I have always been good to you. I am a very private person. I never spoke about us to anyone. Ever! Don’t deserve that from you."

"I am not wining. I just miss you so settle down."

Shaq: "Well just say that then I’m a c u tomorrow."

Then, another exchange of texts two days later:

Vanessa Lopez: "I hope you had a wonderful day! I wish you were here papi ;)"

Shaq: "Tomorro"

Vanessa Lopez: "I will make sure I put on something very sexy for you ;)"
