Who did you think you were renting to?
VERSUS...
This is a hilarious story, and I'm sorry, but I have no sympathy for Carlos Boozer. Who did he think he was renting to? He should be happy they didn't turn the place into a smoking crater in the LA Foothills.
From FOX Sports online:
Carlos Boozer has struggled to stay on the court the last few years, but the Utah Jazz forward recently came very close to landing in court. And the target of Boozer's legal ire? None other than Rock and Roll Hall of Famer Prince.
According to a report on the Smoking Gun website, Boozer filed a complaint against the rock star for allegedly performing an extreme makeover on the NBA star's West Hollywood home, which Prince is renting for $70,000 a month.
Boozer originally filed suit in January, alleging that Prince violated terms of his eight-month lease by making unauthorized home improvements, including "painting the exterior of the (house) with purple striping, 'Prince symbol,' and numbers 3121."
The significance of those digits? That would be the title of Prince's latest album, which was released Tuesday.
Other unwanted renovations included installing purple monogrammed carpet in the master bedroom and the excavation of a large hole for the presumed purpose of a private beauty salon.
Boozer has reportedly since dropped the lawsuit, but could refile the suit under the same claims if Prince makes any other changes to the home.
