Los Angeles Lakers guard Kobe Bryant scored 50 points for the fourth consecutive game on Friday night against the New Orleans Hornets. Bryant is only the second player in NBA history to accomplish the task. The other player to do it being the immortal Wilt ‘The Stilt’ Chamberlain. Wilt holds the record with seven straight 50 pointers.

On a side note the Lakers won the game 111-105 over the Hornets. It was the first time this year that L.A. has beaten N.O. The Lakers have won all four games during Bryant’s streak and now have a record of 37-32.

Kobe’s Points By Opponent During The Streak

• March 23, 2007, New Orleans Hornets (31-38), 50 points
• March 22, 2007, Memphis Grizzlies (17-52), 60 points
• March 18, 2007, Minnesota Timberwolves (29-38), 50 points
• March 16, 2007, Portland Trailblazers (29-40), 65 points

The combined record of these four teams is 106-168 (0.387%) but who is looking at that. Kobe will have a chance to make it five in a row on Sunday night against the Golden State Warriors.

Be sure to check out the original post about Bumpshack’s Hollywood March Madness. The competition was a bit better on day two of our tournament. Check out the results at the bottom of this post. Be sure to vote in today’s match-ups to see who will advance to round two. Here are the results of who moves on to the next round of our tournament to determine who is Hollywood’s Craziest Celebrity.

Today you will be voting to decide the crazier of the two between Paris Hilton v. Nicole Richie in our women’s match. In our men’s game it will be Brandon Davis v. Michael Jackson.

In what could be the most competitive game to date in the tournament Paris Hilton (5) will battle Nicole Richie (4) in a contest between the former best friends to decide who is screwier in the head. Some say Hilton is the reason Britney Spears went off the deep end. Nicole Richie has been in and out of rehab and her ramblings often bring her mental stability into question. Vote and decide which Simple Life star is the Madder of the two:

In one of the weirder first round match-ups Michael ‘Wacko Jacko’ Jackson (4) faces Brandon ‘Greasy Bear’ Davis (5). Jackson continues to toy around with children from around the world. He holes himself up in hotel rooms across the world and still has managed to bankrupt himself. Davis has had several stints in rehab. His craziest moment led to Lindsay Lohan’s ‘Firecrotch’ nickname. Wacko or Greasy? Vote for who advances:

The NCAA men’s basketball tournament starts this week. But here at the Bumpshack we are having our own tourney version called Hollywood March Madness. In our tournament we will will pit Hollywood stars head-to-head to see who is Hollywood’s Maddest Celebrity. Sixteen Hollywood stars have been seeded.

Today the #1 and #8 seeds will battle on each side of the bracket. That means you will be deciding the winners between Britney Spears and Madonna as well as between Tom Cruise and Mel Gibson.

The first round and first matchup of the tournament will be between troubled pop star Britney Spears and her kissing buddy Madonna. Britney’s troubles have been well documented during the past month. Madonna has always been on the lunatic ledge, pushing limits to the max. Today you never know what will escape Madge’s lips. Can Madonna, the 8th seed, upset Bald Britney?

Number eight seed Donald Trump will play host to number one seed Tom Cruise at Trump Towers. Alien Tom put forth his best acting job ever by marrying Katie Holmes last year. His couch jumping and alien worship helped him earn the male #1 seed. The Donald has a continuing nasty feud with Rosie O’Donnell. That seemed to start after he gave Miss USA Tara Conner a second chance. You will decide if Trump will upset Tommy Boy.

Los Angeles Lakers guard Kobe Bryant has been suspended by the NBA office for a flailing elbow on his follow through that caught Minnesota Timberwolves guard Marko Jaric in the nose.  Check out the video here.  It is the second time Bryant has been suspended for hitting a player in the face this year.  Earlier this year he was suspended for doing the same thing to Manu Ginobili of the San Antonio Spurs.

Last season Bryant was suspended for two games for clotheslining Mike Miller of the Memphis Grizzlies.  At least he didn’t grab Jaric by the neck and bend him over a hotel chair. Be sure to check out Kobe and the 666 Connection.
