T-Mobile Drops Sir Charles

Charles Barkley's days with T-Mobile are reportedly over. A spokeswoman for the company - which features the NBA commentator in its Fave 5 ads - says his contract has been discontinued due to his recent DUI arrest.

"Given the recent developments, for the time being, we've replaced TV ads featuring Mr. Barkley with more general-market advertising. As he works through his personal matters, we will evaluate where to go from here," the spokesman said.

Last week, TNT announced that Barkley was taking a "leave of absence" from his job providing commentary for its NBA coverage.

Barkley, 45, was arrested Dec. 31 on suspicion of drunken driving in Scottsdale, Ariz. He told cops he was speeding because he was rushing to meet a woman for oral sex.
