If only he'd remembered to tell his guests.

There's no way of knowing if Jefferson's recent trade to San Antonio after a year in Milwaukee played a role in the breakup, but Jefferson's "boys" showed up at a swanky Manhattan hotel on Saturday for their buddy's $2 million wedding, completely unaware that it already been canceled. He did make it up to them by giving his black American Express card to one of the guys, so that instead of consoling their friend over the demise of his future they could eat $500 sushi and drink the entire contents of their mini-bars. Now that's a stand up guy.

Oh, and the bride-to-be got a room upgrade so everyone's a winner!

<![CDATA[Mike Tyson Can Turn Darkness Into Light]]> Are you depressed? Feeling scattered and out of control? Being chased by those pesky frowny-faced cartoon clouds all day? Well, perhaps you could go on medication and seek out professional help or you could just talk to Mike Tyson, who's offering to help lift the spirits of athletes in need. Or, at least, soccer players.

Tyson recently offered his services to troubled former Newcastle United star Paul "Gazza" Gascoigne, who was placed in a loony bin two weeks ago after a complete mental breakdown. Iron Mike told the BBC news that he's effectively pieced back together plenty of fragile, eggshell minds and he feels like this is a situation where he can really be helpful:

"I know all about Gazza and I feel I can help him. A lot of top sportsmen have suffered in their private lives, including me, and that is why I want to help. I still see him as a superstar and would like to meet him if he feels up for it."

Tyson says he's counseled many athletes who've been through similar mental traumas (including Manchester U. Star Wayne Rooney) and he's ready to open up his blackened heart to those who need it. He's been there, man, he's been there.
