Shaq’s Latest Plea For Attention

The sheer physics of this couple baffle me

Tragic news came across the wire today as it was announced that Shaquille O’Neal and his wife of nearly 7-years, Va’Shaundya, have filed for legal separation.  This really hit me hard.  I saw Shaq on MTV Cribs not too long ago and he and his wife looked so happy together.  I just hope this doesn’t adversely affect his basketball career or his usual jovial nature.  All of those thoughts, of course, were from two years ago when these two filed for divorce.

I guess it’s possible that the pair re-united and have been trying to work things out for the past couple of years, but if you really think that then you haven’t been paying attention to Shaw recently.  He’s been doing everything he can to make headlines and get media attention.  You know, like he’s lonely or something.  That doesn’t particularly seem like the actions of a guy who has some serious domestic work to do in order to save his family.

I wouldn’t go so far to say that today’s announcement is simply another chance for Shaq to get attention and support from the public, but the mere fact that it isn’t out of the realm of possibility is telling, isn’t it?

Since Shaunnie is asking for full-custody of the kids, it looks like we’re all going to have to suffer through more of the world’s biggest attention whore’s antics.  Is there legal precedent for taking someone’s access to YouTube in a divorce?  Come on, lawyers, come through for me here.
