Someone please tell me this is just a bad rumor…Shaquille O’Neal who recently divorced his wife of seven years Shaunie is on the rebound and has apparently proposed to Hoopz, the winner of the first season of “Flavor Of Love.”

According to the St. Louis Post Dispatch, the Big Guy got down on one knee on the dance floor at the Sahara Mediterranean Cuisine and Hookah Lounge in suburban St. Louis over the weekend and put a ring on his date’s finger.

Sources say Shaq, who was in the Gateway City to play in a charity golf tournament, has been keeping company with Hoopz, a former contestant on the VH1 reality show “I Love Money,” for a few months.

SMH!!! Does this mean that Shaq & Flavor Flav has slept together????

Shaquille O’Neal has decided to join the Boston Celtics, according to sources with knowledge of the situation. He was expected to tell the team of his intentions Wednesday morning, but there had been no word as of the afternoon.

The length of the contract is not known, but O’Neal, who has been seeking a two-year deal, will play for the veteran’s minimum of $1.4 million annually.

Celtics coach Doc Rivers began pursuing O’Neal last month when the two met in Orlando. Boston and the Atlanta Hawks were the two clubs most interested in O’Neal, and sources say O’Neal chose the Celtics because he believes they have a better chance of winning what would be his fifth NBA championship.

O’Neal, 38, averaged 12 points and 6.7 rebounds last season for the Cleveland Cavaliers. In the Cavs’ six-game loss to Boston in the Eastern Conference semifinals, he averaged 13.5 points and 5 rebounds in 23 minutes a game.
