Manny Pacquiao won't be shopping with the stars ever again, as the homophobic boxing superstar has been banned from Hollywood's ultimate entertainment destination.
Training in Los Angeles for his upcoming fight against Timothy Bradley, Pacquiao was scheduled to sit down for an interview Wednesday with "Extra" host Mario Lopez at the Grove, LA's legendary shopping mall where celebrities and tourists mingle in overpriced shops, restaurants and movie theaters. But that interview won't take place now, at least not at the outdoor mall.
LA Weekly's Simone Wilson reports Pacquiao has been outlawed by the commercial center for his over-the-top anti-gay statements this week. While quoting Bible verses, the boxing star didn't just say he was against the homosexual lifestyle, Pacquiao stunningly divulged gay men should be "put to death" for their sexual crimes.
Management at the Grove quickly issued a statement explaining why the bigoted boxer has been officially forbidden from entering the star-studded shopping mecca.
"Based on news reports of statements made by Mr. Pacquiao we have made it be known that he is not welcome at The Grove and will not be interviewed here now or in the future. The Grove is a gathering place for all Angelenos and not a place for intolerance."

So, you have to like gays to shop at the Grove. This isn’t exactly news to locals.
“Mario Lopez” yet ANOTHER possible FAG(I mean he screwed around on THIS):
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ali_Landry
“Landry later met actor and TV personality Mario Lopez when he emceed the Miss Teen USA 1998 pageant and she was a commentator. They were engaged during the summer of 2003 and married on April 24, 2004, in a Roman Catholic ceremony in front of 50 guests at the exclusive Las Alamandas resort outside Puerto Vallarta, Mexico.[8] Two weeks later she had the marriage annulled over infidelities committed by Lopez during the relationship.[8][9]” IDIOT!
:: The Grove is a gathering place for all Angelenos and not a place for intolerance.” ::
We have therefore decided that opinions such as his will not be tolerated at the Grove.
He NEVER said put them to death. Not even close. He said Obama’s support for Gay Marriage was an attack on God. A sentiment shared by Obama’s ministers.
Does the speaker even recognize the glaring hypocrisy and lunacy of this statement? "We show our tolerance by being intolerant of those we disagree with"
“You can’t fight in here, this is the War Room.”
“...homophobic boxing superstar...”

Stopped reading right there.
I reject that term, as well as “gay” in describing the tiny minority of homosexuals.
You know, the bias card is just another term for thought crime enforcement..
“Does the speaker even recognize the glaring hypocrisy and lunacy of this statement? “We show our tolerance by being intolerant of those we disagree with””
Intolerance is the new “Tolerance”.
Didn’t you get the mostly-gay Mainstream Media Memo on this?
That has to be illegal. Yes, stores have the right to refuse service to anyone but it’s clear it’s based on discrimination and that word opens a lot of doors in Ca.’s court rooms.
It would be ironic if he forced them to turn him away, then filed a multi-million dollar lawsuit for racial discrimination.
She's got a young Bridgette Bardot look going who at over 75 still looks good herself.
That boy ain't right.
Why can’t homo gays be like J.Edgar Hoover and keep it to themselves? It’s the obnoxious protests and parades that makes people nuts. Some dude wants balls across the nose then fine, I don’t wanna hear about it. And this BS about not having marriage rights? WTF is that? Last time I checked you can write a will leaving everything to your dog. This whole argument of theirs “If my life partner dies a relative we never saw before can take all the property because we can’t be married like heteros” Baloney. Write a will mud dipper.
That is not glaring hypocrisy and lunacy.
That is "Liberal Logic"!
Not one shred of proof that he was gay.
You mean he is blacklisted as in the blacklisted movie stars years ago. Hollyweids hate Hoover because of that but they allow gays to intimidate people now and it is OK. they are all sick - mentally sick.
Mario Lopez? (eyes rolling) Consider yourself lucky to be outta that interview, Manny. Mario might have hit you with his purse!
Does this mean he can’t come to the USA to fight Floyd Mayweahter anymore? ( Not that Mayweather wants to fight him...)

Look at Tiger Woods and his hot wife. Guys get bored and need variety.
What's the old saying, "She may be hot but some guy somewhere is tired of putting up with her s**t"
