What does the shirt say? Looks like something from a low-rider window sticker.

[EllaMinnow]

The shirt says "Latina."
You know - she doesn't want anyone to think she might be (gasp!) white.

Ever hear the joke about the guy who drives up in a chauffeured limo to a trendy night club and asks one of the ladies standign outside, "Would you have sex with me for $1,000,000"?

To which she readily said, "Yes, I would"!

Then the man said, "Would you have sex with me for $25"?

The woman replied, "What kind of girl do you think I am"?

The man says, "We have already established that. Now we are just dickering over price".

[the Deejay]

Looks like "all rock, no sparkle." I like my cz rings, they really "s*p*a*r*k*l*e"!

[Fpimentel]

For her to be a prostitute, she would have to be putting out for Kobe. I doubt he is getting any attention from her. At the moment, I consider this more of a business arrangement. It is in her best interest for Kobe to get off, so to speak. When the trial ends, she splits.

[RoughDobermann]

LOL!

[RoughDobermann]

For her to be a prostitute, she would have to be putting out for Kobe

I wasn't refering to her as being a sexual prostitute. Rather, a moral prostitute.

[Eric in the Ozarks]

Is it a secret decoder ring ?

[RoughDobermann]

Excellent work Registered!

[null and void]

Goodness! That's a big diamond!

Goodness had nothing to do with it!

(A tip of the hat to Mae West)...

[Some hope remaining.]

At least he knows her asking price.

Kind of puts a new spin on the old practice of selling indulgences.

[Drew68]

A $4 million ring is a ridiculous investment. Where can she possibly wear this ring where she won't need a throng of bodyguards by her side.

Wouldn't a $4 million villa in the south of France or the Bahamas be more practical? At least you could enjoy yourself in the Bahamas.

Kobe just isn't the sharpest stick in the bunch.

[labowski]

My question is how long before someone tries to get that ring off her finger. Does she have bodyguards as well? Only the entire country knows she's wearing 4 million dollars on her pithy little hand.

[smiley]

Ya know....priceless diamonds get to a certain point that when you pay so much for them, the stones end up looking gaudy. Ratings for the four "C's" would rank low here...IMHO.....

I have always wondered about this. I wouldn't feel too safe wearing stuff like that around. Even though I carry, its almost like you are asking for trouble.

About three or four years ago, basketball player Damon Stoudamire had a $300,000 necklace yanked off him as he sat in his car outside a NJ club. Rocker Axle Rose had a $60,000 Rolex yanked off his wrist outside a hotel in Brazil. I actually find it somewhat funny.

[F16Fighter]

Some people may not realize Kobi and his Missus might have had an "arrangement."

Afterall, European women have accepted the premise that men are mere hound-dogs and apt to stray or have a Mistress at some time or another...

IMO, it so happens Kobi was extremely sloppy about his indiscretion this time, and the goodies are a reward and "penalty" for embarrassing the old lady publicly.

[rudypoot]

That Colt 45 adds a nice touch. :)

[Yaelle]

Kobe just isn't the sharpest stick in the bunch.

He established that when he let a woman out of his room bruised and unhappy. That move cost him more millions than most of us will ever know. Whatever happened in there, he should have $$een to it that $$he left with a $$weet apology or $$omething.

At the end of the day when Bryant is either acquitted or sentenced to prison, Ms Bryant sells her bauble to a jeweler and takes her infant daughter as far away from her philandering husband as she and the child can get. The proceeds from selling the ring will serve her well while divorce lawyers spend the next X number of years fighting over community property and child support agreements. Much more practical than a French villa.
