The highly questionable proof that mediatakeout.com and a few other blog sites proffered is a photo the two took together at the Mayor’s Masked Ball in Atlanta on the weekend prior to Christmas.
This writer was present at the said upscale soirée and personally witnessed Tucker taking pictures with virtually everyone except the janitor and the bartenders. We don’t know if we can take much from the fact that he only had his arm around her and smiled for the cameras. Besides, this writer also took photos of Sheree coming and leaving the masked ball with another brother. Moreover, Sheree’s publicist denied any romantic involvement with Tucker.
But, in the highly unlikely event that the two are linking up on the low, we’d like to offer some pros and cons of such a relationship:
Pros:
- If the two would ever connect and (ahem!) get married, Sheree could finally return her last name to its rightful owner. Her ex-husband, former NFL star Bob Whitfield, says he is tired of Sheree running tread marks over the family name. He wants Sheree to cease and desist with the practice of spitting poison at him in public while refusing to use her maiden name.
- Chris would not have to pay for any additional cosmetic surgery. According to a Bob Whitfield radio interview recently, he said he paid for Sheree’s breast and butt augmentations as well as her nose job.
- Jackie Chan is fast approaching 137 years of age. Therefore, Tucker won’t be doing anymore Rush Hour movies, so “Real Housewives” would give him some more face time.
- Bravo TV, which produces and airs the “Real Housewives of Atlanta” would find a Sheree-Chris pairing too attractive to dismiss her from the show, as was rumored a couple of months ago.
- Dating Tucker would help Sheree dispel those bisexual rumors floating on the airwaves.
Cons:
- 1. Chris Tucker would become the subject of some serious questions and sideway glances.
- 2. Chris would find it too tempting to wear one of Whitfield’s high heels if there is ever a sequel to the movie, Fifth Element.
- 3. The hate: Can you imagine the hate e-mails the two of them would receive? Sheree would get drenched from the torrential downpour of snide comments for snatching up an eligible bachelor like Tucker.
- The two would become the intense object of the paparazzi.
- Sheree would receive no peace, for everyone would assume she is dating Tucker because of his very deep pockets. We already know he was handed some thick stacks (in excess of $20 million) for the last two Rush Hour films. Additionally, according to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution and Atlanta magazine, Sheree has some financial woes that were not reconciled with her divorce from Bob Whitfield. –terry shropshire
