Bad news for Kobe Bryant: On Monday, two days before his initial appearance in court on a charge of sexual assault in Eagle, Colo., he lost his endorsement deal with Nutella, the chocolate-flavored hazelnut spread that's a big seller in Europe but no threat to replace peanut butter over here. (But Dr. S likes it.) The judge said Bryant has to show up in court, a rarity and major pain in the ass for a major celeb like K.B. Meanwhile, Bryant apparently had too much time on his hands over the weekend, so he went to the Teen Choice Awards to pick up a date, er, I mean, a trophy for favorite male athlete. Bad move, Kobe. After all, a teen choice is what got you into this mess.
