KOBE BRYANT PROMISE NO MORE CHEATING TO HIS SOON TO BE X- WIFE VANESSA

A new report from TMZ says the basketballer has been "aggressively" pursuing for a reconciliation over the last three weeks -- and Vanessa has been open to it. The two were spotted in a liplock last week after one of Kobe's games.

Bryant, 33, once gave his wife a $4-million ring in 2003 after he was accused of sexually assaulting a female hotel employee in Colorado. The charges were eventually dropped, and Kobe went all out for Vanessa's forgiveness, purchasing an eight-carat, purple diamond ring.

Again, Kobe has reportedly been showering his wife with lavish gifts, including a very expensive piece of jewelry.

The two are reportedly working on their marriage. Sources said they would not be surprised if Vanessa, who already scored all three mansions in Newport Beach, Calif. in their settlement, decided to go back to Kobe.

My children and I were invited to the funeral of my ex-wife Whitney Houston. We were seated by security and then subsequently asked to move on three separate occasions. I fail to understand why security treated my family this way and continue to ask us and no one else to move. Security then prevented me from attempting to see my daughter Bobbi-Kristina. I

n light of the events, I gave a kiss to the casket of my ex-wife and departed as I refused to create a scene. My children are completely distraught over the events. This was a day to honor Whitney. I doubt Whitney would have wanted this to occur. I will continue to pay my respects to my ex-wife the best way I know how.
