ROUNDUP: SHOOTING @ “NOTORIOUS” PREMIERE / D.WADE’S NASTY DIVORCE / PETA INVESTIGATES BEYONCE’S DOG

ntoshoot.gif A premiere of the film “Notorious” over the weekend in North Carolina turned for the worse when shots fired inside the theater and hit a man:

Just after 9 p.m. Friday, police said Clive O’Connor was in a hallway at The Grand 18 Four Seasons Station when he got into an argument with an unidentified man. The man then shot O’Connor twice in the stomach and ran away.

O’Connor, 32, was taken to Moses Cone Hospital where he underwent surgery. The hospital said no information about O’Connor’s condition will be released.

Once police arrived at the theater…the crowd of about 700 moviegoers was evacuated. SOURCE

Actor Jamal Woolard, who plays Biggie in the film, was also at the Greensboro, NC theater when shots were fired but, managed to escape with no injuries. If this wasn’t enough, there was a stabbing incident at a “Notorious” film afterparty in New York on last night…

DWAYNE WADE’S DIVORCE GETS NASTY

The former Mrs. Wade makes some interesting demands and accusations in legal papers, including those of a STD infection and Dwayne being a bad father:

According to docs from recent divorce proceedings Siohvaughn, Wade’s soon-to be-ex wife, has a few minor complaints which include child abandonment, adultery, and the case of a nasty little STD infection she allegedly received from him.

She also alleges their one-year-old doesn’t even recognize the baller because he’s been so absent from the two kids they share. Siohvaughn is demanding the names of every one of his alleged sexual partners during their marriage, and it’s no secret that actress Gabrielle Union — Wade’s rumored GF — could possibly end up on that list.
