Chris Bosh at AXE Lounge in NYC

Bosh poses for TMZ...uh...an AXE photographer...


Bosh, Bosh and more Bosh today as the HQ makes like TMZ on this Tuesday afternoon... 

Star-divide

Aaaah Mr. Bosh.

What happened?

From being the Toronto Raptors' franchise player to this "I'm finally getting the adulation I deserve" world tour?

What's next - a coffee table book about coffee tables and an appearance on Regis and Kelly?

We posted this morning on how Bryan Colangelo found it "difficult to build around Bosh," and we assume he meant on the court.  But were there off-court issues that Raptors' fans didn't know about?  Was Bosh, the seemingly quiet and reserved superstar, really a Ron Artest-party-goer in the making?  And did this need for the limelight only increase as his tenure wore on here in Toronto?

It would be interesting to get the true story but we're certainly seeing some potential evidence of the latter lately.

Luka from AXE Lounge in NYC fired our man Vicious D some pics of Bosh and his girl partying it up there recently, and a video of CB4 answering some questions on his latest endeavours:

 

The quality is a bit grainy, but here's the excerpts from it:

About his move to South Beach 

"I’m excited about the move. Just to get the chance to play in an environment like Miami with a great team. I’ve been dreaming about this since I was a little kid. I think everybody brings the sacrifice that we need in order to win, and to be great, and I think it helps that everyone has a family first attitude."

About his the new place he’s going to get when he moves…and who will be doing the decorating. 

"I think we’ll work together on the decorating of the new place. It will be a collaborative effort, but I’m very particular about what I like. I got my own style. I want it to be that homey look—nice and clean and very comfortable.

About the Documentary

"This is unprecedented times. It might not ever happen again and I wanted to get some footage and something for me to look back on and enjoy."

On a date night with his girlfriend

"I saw the new Twilight with my girl, it’s definitely a good date movie."

Luka also sent us over a few other shots from the night:

And...

Bosh_and_dj_phresh_medium
 

A few thoughts from the HQ team:

Howland - Nice blackberry holder.  Is my DAD Chris Bosh?

Me - Right, so the documentary was made for you.  Well, I guess...considering I can't see why on earth anyone outside of Miami would want to watch it.  And you've really been dreaming about playing in Miami since you were a kid?

Howland - Please tell me that's not really his girlfriend...

Me - Why did we post this again?  Suddenly I'm craving for more news on Louis Amundson...

I feel this appearance at the AXE Lounge will really help Bosh’s positioning as a global brand like Coke, Nike or Massengill… because, well, the more you hear from Bosh this offseason, the more he comes off as a douche.

he’s like, the douche bag, other douche bags call douche bag.

As I said before...

Matt Devlin is the reigning Lord of the Douche, but CB4 is quickly becoming his heir and possibly Prince of Douches.

BREAKING NEWS: BOSH IS APPARENTLY ON JIMMY FALLON TO-NITE

Just flicking between channels and my Rogers box tells me CB is on the show.

So I thought I would share this with my TMZ buddies….

Bosh moving in with his girlfriend

CB4, 1/3 of the most hyped up story in the NBA, is moving with his girlfriend to a major party capital loaded with hot chicks. Why is this dude taking sand to the beach?

Did he watch the new Twilight movie on her forehead?

by Turksucks on Jul 27, 2010 1:01 PM EDT reply actions  

What’s with Bosh and big foreheads? Remember his last girlfriend (I guess his baby-mama now) had the most ginormous forehead of all time.

yo I think bosh’s GF is pretty hot this time. his last GF was an ugly duckling lol

by raptors_run_the_show on Jul 27, 2010 1:30 PM EDT reply actions  

Yep. Have to agree

There is definite hotness potential in that little lady. Bad pic, maybe trying too hard to fake smile for the camera but looking carefully, I can imagine it being some fun times in the Bosh household.
Anyway, if he’s this much of a “look at me” type personality, how bad was the chemistry in that Raptors locker room? Or is this just the manifestation of some ego stroking? Dude’s been all over the place, trying to get his face out there. One issue I’d have if I were a Heat fan is..when is he going to get around to working on his game? Every night of heavy partying consumes two otherwise productive days. I’m hoping that Bosh devotes himself to equaling the on-the court performance of his teammates instead of focusing on matching their off the court media presence. If not, it would rob fans of the best possible basketball and that would be unfortunate.

Happiness is that which gets lost in the details of its pursuit.

I think this season everyone will see how mentally weak bosh is. I have always said bosh is not mentally tough. what happend to Bosh wanting to be the man I think this sacrifice will come back and bite him in the butt, when he realizes that hes nothing more then a 3rd fiddle, when bosh wont get even a fraction of the touches he got in Toronto it will be a real test of his personality and i think it will be an epic fail. If the heat win a championship I think Bosh will be a minimal part of there success

by raptors_run_the_show on Jul 27, 2010 6:53 PM EDT up reply actions  

Bosh's new lady friend

Though the forehead comment was funny, there is nothing wrong with CB1’s GF. Aside from the fact that she looks like she is from the Shire standing next to Bosh.

Man...

Just thinking that this guy was supposed to be so happy about his daughter and such a year ago… I can’t wait to see where all this leads to a year from now.

ya i agree bosh went from a polite young man to a attention seeking media man whore

by raptors_run_the_show on Jul 27, 2010 2:46 PM EDT up reply actions  

I really do not understand why everyone is hating on him so much. Like give me a break, so he wants to get some recognition. I have no idea why he would want to get some recognition in the US considering most media pundits compare him to Zach Randolph which is 100% accurate (I am being facetious by the way). I don’t understand why any of you even care what he is doing. You are like a bunch of dumped girlfriends dissing his every move to make yourselves feel better. He is gone, let it go.

by McGateway on Jul 27, 2010 3:23 PM EDT reply actions  

P.S. – Outside of the fact she is wearing too much spray on tan, there is nothing wrong with that girl. Her forehead isn’t even close to Rhianna’s giant forehead. Did you know they modeled their next Aircraft carrier on Rhianna’s forehead.

We agree...

about aircraft carriers?

by Jenge on Jul 27, 2010 4:20 PM EDT up reply actions  

I'm not hatin' on him

I just think he can do so much better for himself. I might even say that I’m disappointed in him. That’s all. But he can do whatever he wants. He spent just a lot of time giving everyone this clean image of himself, and then now, it seems like a switch went off inside of him. Where that leads, I don’t know, but I’d like to think that he would be the same kinda guy, just with more attention on him.

So much better for himself?

Okay, I’ll say it, even though I haven’t seen other pics of this girlfriend, most of which are likely better than this one, but she’s hot…okay. And maybe her personality is such that she really is a nice person to be around. Saying a guy could do so much better for himself is not a nice thing to say if you’re only going to judge by pictures. There are some better ones out there (google Adrienne Williams, if so inclined).

Anyway, maybe what’s going on here is that this lady wants to get famous, maybe make some reality show money, so she’s asking her boyfriend to take her to all the parties to get herself “seen.” He agrees to this because if she pulls in her own income he doesn’t have to worry about forking out so much during another mother-of-child situation.

Okay, back to work.

Happiness is that which gets lost in the details of its pursuit.

On a side note

Hotness confirmation sent me searching the Internet, and I stumbled upon some other things and basically I walk away from this afternoon with two words etched to my brain. Amber Rose. My goodness.

Better for himself.

Jesus. I don’t mean about his girl. I mean about how he handles himself for cryin’ out loud. He’s cultivated this image of himself as a very down-to-earth business person… A pretty hard working, stand up individual… And now, it seems like he’s a raging teenager just going out and trying everything he can.

yeah…It makes me feel betrayed in some way…not that they left, but the fact that they tried to pitch themselves as ‘model guys’ when it is coming out that they aren’t.

man when the hottest girl you ever dated dumps you it stings. It’s not that easy to get over I think this whole bosh thing will explode to a whole new level that even jerry springer wont be able to solve

McGateway

I fully admit that I am hating on Bosh these days. Though I don’t feel like a dumped girlfriend. So stop trying to steal our fun. Now where did I put that econo sized tub of ices cream.

by Posterized on Jul 28, 2010 6:41 AM EDT up reply actions   1 recs

Yes minus the spray tan, she looks pretty hot to me. Big forehead? Really that would be last thing I would notice, she looks like she’s got some serious cans under that dress. Bosh looks like he just did a dockers promo. Seriously though, I don’t think disappointment is something any Toronto fans should be feeling, he doesn’t play here anymore. I think anymore discussion on the topic is just distracting us from how this team will look next year. Which is what BC wants based on his childish comments, and complaints. If I hear one more time that Bosh tanked the season after the all star break I’m going to puke. How about we stop giving contracts to guys that don’t speak english, and then maybe everyone would get along in the locker room.

by PNUTZ on Jul 27, 2010 4:41 PM EDT reply actions  

He can get a better looking girl now that he’s not Predator anymore. But I am sad to see it go.

I can just imagine Lebron, Wade and Bosh going to the barbershop together. And not tipping.

by bigweeze on Jul 27, 2010 4:48 PM EDT reply actions  

im not really mad at bosh

i just hate how his life is so much better now that he’s not on the raptors. like he was a prisoner. it seems like he’s free now and can enjoy life. this is what makes me angry.

is it just me or does Bosh’s gf look like mariah carey

I actually see what you mean a bit ha ha…a mini sorta frumpy version…

I can’t believe I’m discussing this…back to writing about Hedo.

Saw on TSN today that Bosh was quoted as saying he didn’t want to go to Toronto because it looked different, smelled different, and so on. The guy’s a douche-nerd, but a rich one. Cheering for Durant and, gulp, Kobe (ughh, can’t believe I said that, but I gotta give it to him, he commands his own ship).

by Fire BC! on Jul 27, 2010 7:41 PM EDT reply actions  

I read the article that I believe you are quoting from through a third party (TSN). Bosh was making the point that he was like 18 years old, had never been out of the country and was drafted to play in Toronto, a city he knew very littler about. He goes on to say how he grew to love the city of Toronto and the fans.

There are at least 10 comments here debating the hotness of CB4’s girlfriend and the dimensions of her forehead… This is a dark day for the HQ
LOL

As this team is going to lose a WACK of games this is obviously going to be a LOOOOOONNNG season with more comments sections like this one as there will be little to talk about.

by MAS11 on Jul 27, 2010 9:03 PM EDT reply actions  

how about some sunshine?

1. We are ‘cured’ of that horrible case of ‘Hedoitis’ ;

2. We don’t have to bitch about CB4 being a ‘franchise’ player or not; or CB4 being worthy of a ‘Max deal’…. or walking on eggshells when mentioning that he might not be ‘a keystone’ (or a ‘corner stone’ which seems to pass these days as an over-glorified ‘keystone’)

3. Now we can look forward to an entire year of bickering about which player (from our entire roster) gets to earn the worthy title of the best ‘6-spot player’ money can buy….

I found the discussion very productive and entertaining lol

by raptors_run_the_show on Jul 27, 2010 10:48 PM EDT up reply actions  

In more positive news, CB4 said in an interview he chose her because he can put a net on her forehead and practice banking shots like Tim Duncan.

I can’t believe I just said that.

everyone is making fun of boshs' girlfriend

I’d be a little worried that her spray on tan is toxic but other than that, sure.

HAHA Mariah!!??

NAh…with all that shine off her forehead and cheeks Id say she looks more like that Na’vi chick from Avatar lol…which actually works well for bosh cuz he cleary is one …Seriously tho…look at the picture of them, make her about 8 feet taller so she matches bosh, now punch urself in the right eye so they look kind of blue…SEE!!
