Monday Shaquille O’Neal was in St. Louis for Albert Pujols‘ annual charity golf tournament. Afterwards, O’Neal and friends retired to the suburban Sahara Mediterranean Cuisine and Hookah Lounge for dinner.
Lounge owner Sam David told the ST. LOUIS POST-DISPATCH that while the NBA player was in his establishment, he may have made a monumental commitment.
“I think he may have proposed to his girlfriend,” Sam David said today. “He brought a chair into the middle of the dance floor and he put a ring on her finger.”
David said he did not know the name of the woman who was with Shaq, nor of any of the others in the new Boston Celtics center’s entourage.
So if David’s story is true, who is the lucky lady?
Multiple sources told me today that O’Neal is currently dating I Love Money reality show contestant Nicole “Hoopz” Alexander.
I’ve also been informed that O’Neal has spent much of his summer in Alexander’s hometown of Maryville, TN. In fact, the current Celtic now has a home with Alexander in Maryville’s Royal Oaks golf community.
O’Neal is less than six months removed from finalizing a divorce from Shaunie O’Neal, his former wife of seven years.
With Shaq on the rebound, I’m not so sure wifing a woman from rural Tennessee who recently appeared on a reality show called I Love Money is a grand idea.
But that’s me.

Even worse, she was the “winner” of the first season of Flavor of Love… does The Big Penicillin really want to go where Flavor Flav’s already been?
1:54 pm on August 20th, 2010
So, Shaq is going sloppy seconds after Flavor Flav. looking at her, I would too though.
2:06 pm on August 20th, 2010
Go Shaq!
I just hope he does not bust inside her, because that’s a whole other set of headaches Big Aristotle does not need.
4:01 pm on August 20th, 2010
That chick upfront bears some resemblance to Steve Philip’s score that took him down.
4:57 pm on August 20th, 2010
Shaq doesn’t seem to bothered with the giant gold digging red flags.
5:49 pm on August 20th, 2010
I wouldn’t exactly call Maryville “rural” just because it’s in Tennessee, but hey to each their own. After all, L.A. is nothing but a gangland right? No? Excuse me for assuming.
6:12 pm on August 20th, 2010
Fail! When Flava Flav beat you to it.
6:23 pm on August 20th, 2010
Maryville, is a suburb of Knoxville, very beauriful, Not rural
10:03 pm on August 20th, 2010

1:00 pm on August 21st, 2010

8:04 am on August 22nd, 2010
Shaq,
I’ve been married 3 times and beleive me, these women of now are not made by the cloth of women before.
Take your time…slow down…keep yours eyes open…and go with your gut instinct when your hair raises up on your back. Focus on your kids…with your type of funds, update your dating disclaimer stay single for a while and take care of YOU!

Damn! Those are some pretty manly arms she’s got. Perhaps the Shaq is quickly becoming the Big Peter Puffer.
CAN YOU (GOLD) DIG IT?!
12:06 am on August 24th, 2010
Shak my friend ,take your time.do not be silly .you are too smart for that. My good friend ,there are too types of women. One that you bang and keep on lying to, and another one you make commitment to. I don’t know which one you got ,It’s up to you to know what to do. If you feel felicity with her, go for it. you have to make mistakes in life to really understand what life is all about. Be happy, hey ,you never know what women have under their sleeves ,go ahead and find out for yourself. good luck my friend.
1:05 am on August 24th, 2010
well as long as they love each other i don’t see any problem of they going to be together.

Professionals are rquired to know and abide by the rules of their “trade”; as with doctors, lawyers, etc.
‘nough sai.
6:39 am on August 24th, 2010
Stop the madness, she never slept Flavor Flav, Remember she never kissed him on the show. She won because she is pretty. Just like the other chic. Those shows are just to help women get noticed.
7:37 am on August 24th, 2010
all you haters are so wrong! can’t you see that this is just an upcoming Shaq vs. episode. its Shaq vs. Flavor Flav to see who can do the better job. personally, i think Flav wins because the way Shaq drags his ass up and down the court I don’t see him putting much energy or effort into anything.
8:11 am on August 24th, 2010
why do you guys hold players up to the standard of normal intelligent people? i think it’s an absurdly unfair. their standard should be “held to the level of spoiled egocentric 2 year olds.” if held to this standard, then their decision making is only slightly lacking. besides give shaq a break, he’s the poor man’s charles barkley.
4:40 pm on August 24th, 2010
Hoopz and Shaq ! Thats where it’s at, sometimes happiness comes in Little and Big packages and these two will have more than alittle fun. Keep growing and enjoy each other and whoever dont like it is jus mad they aint NEVER gonna have a sistah like Hoopz or Shaq’s feets . . . They would’nt know how to grow in love with her anyway . . Right ShaqaDelic ? ! ! Yall go head !
5:40 pm on August 24th, 2010
Nice “#1 Dad” shirt Shaq… u loser
6:12 pm on August 24th, 2010
hoopz is a known nba groupie.she said d-wade got her pregnant a year or 2 ago.lie. he did hit tho along wit many many others players. they tossed her around.only shaq would wife her.an flava along wit many other rappers also beat it up.
8:03 pm on August 24th, 2010
It is funny that no one is talking about how many females have “beat it up” on Shaquille. Maybe he knows that he has a track record of his own, and they are about even on the score board. But, the real deal is that most of the time when mean claim to have “beat it up” with a woman, they actually beat it up to “themselves,” by themselves, and with themselves.”
Unless you were there, you do not know!
If they get together, hope they are healthy, safe, and happy!
I thought that female bashing crap was over. I hope everyone is careful, those couples who think that they are in monogamous relationships and those who really are!
9:51 pm on August 24th, 2010
uh……. live your own life and quit worrying about Shaq. Yes Im talkin to all of you fat ass housewives and loser husbands who sit around on your computer commenting on lives you will never in a million years be able to achieve. Next time you talk shit think about the comments that would be left if we put your ugly ass wife or typical overweight american pig ass online. Pathetic get a life!
2:09 am on August 25th, 2010
I’d have a four-way with Shaq, Hoopz, and Flav. I’d probably ask Hoopz to just give Flav a rusty trombone, though, as I don’t want any filthy girl germs on my pork sword. I’m actually an NBA groupie myself, but y’all niggas don’t know ’bout my diabeetus…or the fact that half of the dudes in the NBA are as gay as Christmas and love getting down with fine young guys.
9:07 am on August 25th, 2010
Personally she just looks like a younger version of Shaunie…admit your mistakes Shaq and maybe you’ll get your family back, don’t go around trying to replace it.
10:11 am on August 25th, 2010
Hmmm, just a random thought here but I’m not sure I’d want anything to do with a woman who’s a contestant on a show called ‘ I Love Money’. If she were after me I could laugh it off and say she’s barking up the wrong tree, but Shaq has a buck or two.
10:58 am on August 25th, 2010
Simply put, This is a collaboration of celebrities in an attempt to keep what they have established in the beginning. Have you noticed that the actors and actresses are coming together in the last moment in the act of desperation. The movie, “Expendables “, brought this out in the open. Now the love of Basketball and money have brought these two together. They have more in common then a lot of marriages out there. And it really doesn’t matter how many people they have slept with. This is simply a marriage contract to boost their popularity. See what happened to Tiger Woods, that was a tragedy for both of them? Both of them lost and my heart goes out to them and the kids.
When fame comes along with people, it is all about what society wants best for them. What they seem right in their eyes, but they never thought about taking the splinter out of their own broken relationships. Society can make million of mistakes, but people in the public eye can not. I have made a lot of dumb mistakes in my life, and society never gave it a thought. But wait until my life goes public, they will have their say. And I will cut all of them down with the word of God. I have been there and don’t need justification of anyone in this world. I don’t care how many mistakes these people will make, it has always been about the journey.
So get married Shaq and Hoopz, don’t listen to hypocrites. They will always think what they want to think. They will never listen…Don’t worry about the past, its in the past. It has always been in the moment of now. Simply, we are figure set in motion…
11:51 am on August 25th, 2010
Sister girl when you lay down with dogs you get fleas. invest with some powder!
Shaq. do you know where your children are? or even care?
12:24 pm on August 25th, 2010
give shak his props. he mainly lunks gals of color.
12:36 pm on August 25th, 2010
Gold Digging Whore & World Wide Man Whore!! They are both STUPID!! She is A TOTAL JACKASS if she thinks he won’t cheat on her too!!! He REMANINS A TOTAL SELF CENTERED ASSHOLE, who is gonna get takin to the bank AGAIN!!!! Go Shaunie!!! He’s gonna get this hoe pregnant & she will take him to the bank!!! Then she’ll be hosting “I Love Money” because she will have ALL of Shaq’s, correction, she will have what little Shaunie & the kids left him to play with!!!! LMAO
1:57 pm on August 25th, 2010
If this happens, they should start a reality show with Odom/Khloe Kardashian
1:18 am on August 28th, 2010
These overpaid NBA thugs disgust me. Get paid millions to dribble a ball and act like fools.
9:37 am on August 28th, 2010
I’m sure most believe that reality shows are real. Believe me, they are far from it. How do you explain camaras being everywhere. In the houses, cars, restaurants, homes they vist etc.
Please don’t believe Flava ever slept with these women. This stuff is as phony as wrestling.
1:01 pm on August 31st, 2010
Only black ball player not to marry a white woman??
4:41 am on September 30th, 2011
She is hot for sure! I’d marry her
1:00 pm on October 7th, 2011
He is gonna have a hard time finding someone to marry without looking like an idiot besides her!
8:00 pm on December 7th, 2011
SHAQ WTF FLAVOR FLV SECONDS.
QUESTION: DO VIDEO HOES MAKE GOOD WIVES.
2:26 pm on January 17th, 2012
Hoopz is from Detroit, Michigan. She dated a semi-pro basketball player before Shaq when there was a team in that area and bought a house.
