The "Basketball Wives" cast had their reunion last night. The ladies, with Jennifer backstage, joined host/former NBA baller John Salley. "I think it's best she's backstage," said Evelyn. "We're not going to be friends ever again." Shaunie prefaces the show with her regrets about the season and says, "I feel that all of these ladies take responsibility for what their actions are." She then says this season was more "bad than good" and moving forward there will be more balance of positive content on the show. Blah blah. Enough of the love fest. Time for drama! Read More...

To alleviate ongoing tensions among the NBA (ex-) Wives, castmate and executive producer Shaunie O'Neal cooked up another one of her, um, relaxing group getaways—this time to Tahiti. Read More...
