Friday night, the NBA hosted a Celebrity game in Brooklyn, NY, as part of the All-Star Weekend. Two of the participants in the night's festivities were native Philadelphians. Comedian Kevin Hart and 13-year-old Little League phenom Mo'Ne Davis were pitted against each other on opposing teams. Now, Davis may have a 70+ mph fastball and the eighth grader was named Sport Illustrated's Sports Kid of the Year for her achievements during the LL World Series, but her first love is basketball. Watch the video clip below where she really shows off those court skills. A quick cross over, post-up, and spin move leaves the 5' 4" Hart in the dust. "That was actually a good move," Hart said during a timeout. "No excuses brother."
Eight women were arrested and charged in a prostitution bust in New Castle, DE on Thursday. One of the women was the star of a popular reality TV show on MTV. Valerie Fairman, now 21, of Coatesville, PA, appeared on season 2 of MTV's "16 and Pregnant" having a baby daughter. Seven other women were arrested during the sting including Brooke Hatfield, 23, of Wilmington; Stephanie Brown, 26, of Newark, DE; Dawn Price, 32, of Newark, DE; Jaquya Fairley, 34, of New Castle, DE; Lindsey Taylor, 30, of Newark, DE; Kristina Weaver, 33, of New Castle, DE; and Leslie Larkin, 54, of Wilmington, DE. It was a multiple agency operation including Delaware State Police, the Wilmington Police Department, and others. They targeted Maryland Avenue south of Wilmington and New Castle Avenue after receiving citizen complaints of prostitution and other crime in the area.
The last suspect in the 'Main Line Takeover Project' was sentenced this afternoon. 23-year-old Willow Orr of Philadelphia was sentenced on Friday after pleading guilty last July to conspiracy to possess drugs with the intent to deliver. She was the final member of the 11-person ring ranging in ages from 17-25 that sold drugs to Main Line high schools and colleges in Philadelphia's affluent suburbs. The intentions of the ring's leaders were to become the exclusive providers of drugs (ie. cocaine, marijuana, hash oil and ecstasy) to the area. They each received significant jail time last week. Orr's role was as a sub-dealer. She was sentenced to five years of probation. David Barrish, her attorney, says she's "an intelligent girl" who wants to move on.

A water main break in South Philadelphia has shut off service to many and have left some with flooded basements. The six-inch main broke after 5:00 pm Friday evening near West Ritner Street and South Lambert Street. The Philadelphia Water Department shut off the water so they can repair the broken pipe. Around 80 customers are without water. Water got into about 10 homes near the rupture causing basements to flood. The frigid arctic air is not helping crews speedily make repairs but they hope to have them done soon.
