Former NBA All-Star Jayson Williams got tased by the cops 4 am Monday morning in a lower Manhattan hotel room after his female companion called 911 saying Jay was acting suicidal. When the police arrived they found prescription drug bottles and several suicide notes strewn around and said that Jay clearly impaired. He got tased after resisting officers trying to take him to the hospital. Jayson is awaiting sentencing after being convicted of trying to cover-up the 2004 shooting death of limo driver Costas Christofsi . According to testimony, Jayson was showing a group of people around his NJ estate. When they got to the master bedroom Jay pulled out a rifle that when slammed shut, went off, blasting 55 year old Chritofsi in the chest. According to witnesses, Jayson then placed the gun in the dead man's hands, stripped off all his clothes and jumped into his swimming pool. Jayson's defense was that he panicked. He was acquitted of aggravated manslaughter, but the jury deadlocked on a reckless-manslaughter count. A retrial is pending, and he has been free on bail since the shooting. He's apologized to Christofi's relatives and given them $2.5 million to settle a civil suit. He could be sentenced to several years in prison on the cover-up conviction, but a judge ruled he wouldn't be sentenced until after the retrial. He is also being divorced by his wife.

NAOMI READY TO RETIRE ?
She tells Britain’s Hello! magazine, “It’ll be 25 years (as a model) next year. In terms of fashion shows, I don’t really see myself doing every show everywhere. I’m a woman and I’d like to be a mother one day”.
Rick Ross’s Baby Mama’s Book, Tia’s Diary: Deeper Than Rap
XXLMag.com posted up this afternoon some details about Tia's Diary: Deeper Than Rap
Set to drop on paperback for $14.95, Tia’s Diary: Deeper Than Rap, will be available in bookstores across the country as well as on Amazon.com on May 20.
In addition to Kemp’s story, the book will also include exclusive court transcripts, legal documents and never-before-seen photographs.
XXL recently spoke to Kemp to find out why she decided to put her life in writing, and it seems as if Ross will not only be the only topic of discussion. “The reason I felt that it would be interesting to write a book is because I have had a very big struggle in my life,” she said. “I grew up without a father, my mom was a single parent and it was very hard for her to raise six kids on her own. Being the oldest, I experienced a lot of things growing up, a lot of challenges in life that I went through. I got married young, I had two kids and after that I ended up getting in a another relationship.”
But fans hoping to read about Ross need not worry as Tia promises a lot of candid information about the Miami rapper. “When I met Ross he wasn’t a celebrity,” she explained. “There are a lot of things that I experienced in my life before I met Ross that was overwhelming or outrageous or just crazy. And there are a lot of things that we went through that I thought would be very interesting for people out in the world to hear.”
As of 3 p.m. today www.deeperthanrapbook.com has posted the prologue of Tia’s Diary: Deeper Than Rap and continue to releases excerpts until the book drops.

Designed by Igor Chak, here’s a futuristic motorcycle concept that adds a tinge of modern to the famous 1970s-80s Honda CB series.

This powerhouse is mated to a six-speed dual-clutch transmission with electronic lurch and traction control– enough to force one hell of an adrenaline rush when getting this little monster roaring.
