Shaquille O’Neal worked up an appetite while cheering on the Miami Heat last Saturday night when the team beat the Washington Wizards at the AmericanAirlines Arena. The basketball legend then moved on to Club Arkadia at the Fontainebleau hotel to celebrate the C by Courvoisier All Star Comedy Jam holiday party where he asked for chicken as entree during dinner, claiming he was on a diet.
