Kobe Bryant Exercises Image Control
by TMZ Staff
Kobe Bryant chose not to mix with scantily-clad women last night, and the night club that threw the shindig he was scheduled to host is pissed.
As we first reported, Bryant was splashed all over a poster promoting a party at Bacy's and sponsored by a magazine that features barely-clothed women.
Bryant, who you may remember had a little problem in Colorado a few years back, has done such a good job of rehabilitating his image -- the whole thing was a conundrum.
Kobe would never comment on the hosting gig, but the club insisted it had a signed contract. But when we arrived last night, there were signs posted saying Kobe would not be appearing ... the promoter and the patrons were none too pleased.
The sign read: "Due to circumstances beyond our control, Mr. Kobe Bryant will not be in attendance tonight. No refund beyond this point."
BTW -- the photo above shows Bryant sitting courtside at the Slam Dunk contest in Dallas last night.
Good thing I didn't pony up for a plane ticket to Dallas to go to the Kobe Party last nite. I would have had to contend with snow mounds and a starless party at Bacy's (whatever the hell that is). This club may have had a contract but they should have had a backup plan. Why not have Gilbert Arenas host? He's available and his parties have been known for years in the Washington D.C. area as culturally momumentous occasions. They would have just had to frisk him for guns at the door. That guy puts Plaxico Burress to shame.
