RJ Ditches Dancer Wife Hours Before Wedding

According to the NY Post, Richard Jefferson, who was recently traded to the San Antonio Spurs, bailed out of his wedding plans just two hours before the ceremony.

The former Nets/Bucks star had been dating former Nets Dancer Kesha Ni'Cole Nichols and the two had planned out a $2 million wedding at the Mandarin Oriental in Columbus Circle on Saturday.

Kesha managed to tell her friends and family about the cancellation, Jefferson, not so much.

One friend tells the NY Post that RJ never showed up, but plenty of his friends did.

Don't worry, Jefferson did "the right thing" and gave his friends his black AMEX card for the night. [NY Post]

It's Been a While Since Jayson Williams was in the News

Former Nets superstar Jayson Williams was taken to a Manhattan hospital for a psychological evaluation early today after he barricaded himself inside a hotel room and was acting "suicidal" and "violent," authorities told The Post.

Williams, 41, was removed from his room at a Manhattan hotel at 4 a.m., police sources said.

Once inside the hotel, the officers confronted what sources described to The Post as "a suicidal man" who was acting "violent."

The cops called an Emergency Services Unit for help since Williams had trashed his room.

Once there, sources said, the officers used a Taser to subdue Williams, who was taken to St. Vincent's Hospital for a psychological evaluation. [NY Post]
