ICE CUBE: Boxing match erupts at Celebrity Boxing press conference

Last night in my neck of the woods — the sweet (pepper) spot where Pat's, Geno's and the South Philadelphia Bar & Grille reside — Damon Feldman's Celebrity Boxing Federation held a press conference regarding the Female Lightweight Championship bout we wrote as an Ice Cube earlier this week. Jon Gosselin's ex Hailey Glassman would fight XXX-film babe Gina Lynn in a bout refereed by friend to Nazis everywhere Michelle Bombshell McGee (Google Jesse James, Sandra Bullock and the most hated man in America if you don't recall where you know that last name) on May 7 at Club Polaris. That is until everything went to hell. First I found out from Feldman privately that his woes regarding the Pennsylvania State Boxing Commission (the thing that sent his CBF events packing to points north and west — including Massachusetts, Nevada and California) aren't over and that the May 7 gig was probably moving to either right over the bridge to NJ or down I-95 to Delaware. Either way, it's on and I'm calling the boxing commissioner Greg Serb asap. Then there was the matter of Glassman's attorney who produced a letter that read "I told you I wasn't coming and I don't support this. I have obligations due to the contract and I will attend the event because it's for charity." (A.D. says it's a local charity — Jasonsday.com — regarding Marfan Syndrome) "I stand strong for my belief in equality, regardless of race, color, religion, or national origin. I will not stand to be associated with anyone who is a Nazi, Anti-Semitic or racist." Feldman used to box — he was the Jewish Bomber when I met him — so he knows how to dance. Enter his pal Michael Lohan (Lindsay's dad), his new fiancÃ© (like this week) Kate Major (a gal pal of Glassman and a lady who also dated Gosselin — man, is the world small) and the idea that it'll be Major who fights Lynn (who is half Spanish and half Italian according to her and her husband Travis Knight). During this press conference Knight starts insulting Lohan for looking like a grandfather, Lohan takes off his shirt to reveal a wife beater tank top and suddenly: Mock fisticuffs ensue. Or guy slapping. It was very silly. And then... Oh, you know the ending already — these two will also fight; maybe May 7; maybe another night. Who knows, it was much too messy to tell. No matter — I'm on the horn to Serb today. There's no way he can stop this sort of entertainment from happening. Especially so close to my house. Want more gossip?
