A video repost on TikTok, seemingly taking a jab at Taylor Swift, was shared on the joint account North holds with her mother, Kim.

This move has been interpreted by many as a playful, albeit “messy,” dig at the singer, highlighting the nuanced dynamics of celebrity interactions and the ripple effects they can have across social media platforms.

The video in question featured Taylor Swift, the 34-year-old pop sensation, dancing in a manner that could only be described as uninhibited and carefree in her 2017 music video for Delicate. Taylor, known for her heartfelt lyrics and memorable melodies, was captured barefoot, wearing a blue, tasseled minidress as she navigated through a hotel lobby with a series of goofy dance moves.

The clip, complete with stomping on a reception desk and playful gestures towards security guards, was overlaid with text that provocatively asked, “So this is your favorite singer?” accompanied by the caption, “I’m sorry, what?” However, the post was short-lived, as it disappeared from the account hours later, presumably removed by Kim, who was attending Paris Fashion Week at the time, without North.

Social media might be down incredibly bad as Lucia from Grand Theft Auto is going insanely viral.

GTA 6’s trailer 2 officially broke a record after the upcoming second look at the game, which has continued to take forever to come out.

GTA 6 broke the record for the longest wait between a first and second trailer for a Rockstar Games title ever.

Rockstar has built a rich world of criminals, lunatics, and thieves spanning from Liberty City to San Andreas and beyond. With GTA 6 on the horizon, fans have become ecstatic after seeing a picture of Lucia.

For those unaware, she is a female criminal in the game. Grand Theft Auto states that she did her time at a prison complex in the State of Leonida in the mid-2020s for an unknown crime.

As anticipation builds for the release of Grand Theft Auto 6, a picture shows Lucia stripped down to a two-piece bikini.

“Everything is woke if you’ve never seen a woman’s body irl,” one fan said.

“They better have some awesome clothing to choose from. Gotta look cute while doing missions,” a second fan added.

A third fan knew they were no match for her: “If I was in a beauty contest against her, she’d get first place, and I’d get disqualified.”

“She’s beautiful, my sapphic heart can’t take it 🤧,” another X user added.

“not leaving my house anytime soon,” a fan stated about the impending release of the game.

“No arsenal, but ima be a gooner for sure, a sixth fan added.

One final fan added: “Anybody upset about a video game character needs to seriously reevaluate their life.”

Fans Have Waited A Long Time For Grand Theft Auto To Release New Game

After more than a decade of waiting, Grand Theft Auto VI is supposedly finally set to come out in 2025.

Despite their hopes for a release this year fading, the community remains engaged in hopes that a second trailer will be released in early 2025 and a release date of the actual game will come out.

With each passing day, the desire for more news grows stronger.

Hopefully, 2025 will give the fans what they so desperately want.

 

‘Saturday Night Live’ skit and Elon Musk (Photos via NBC and Imagn Images)
Elon Musk wasn’t the slightest bit impressed by this weekend’s ‘Saturday Night Live’ cold open sketch that parodied the Oval Office meeting between Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and U.S. President Donald Trump.

Last Friday, Zelenskyy met Trump and Vice President J.D. Vance to further discuss their Mineral Resources Agreement. The televised meeting between the men quickly turned heated, however, and Zelenskyy left the White House without a finalized deal.

SNL opened its 3/2 show with a parody sketch of the meeting. Mikey Day (Zelenskyy), James Austin Johnson (Trump) and Bowen Yang (Vance) opened the show together before SNL icon Mike Myers showed up mid-sketch posing as Elon Musk.

Myers’ version of Musk brought out a chainsaw and asked Johnson why he’s “in my office…I’m the president now.”

Responding to a fan’s X post that has since been deleted, Elon Musk criticized the sketch with a five-word message, “Humor fails when it lies.”

 

There’s a widespread notion that Musk is the acting President of the United States behind the scenes, not Trump. Musk has emerged as one of Trump’s biggest allies, with the POTUS putting the Tesla CEO in charge of the newly-formed Department of Government Efficiency.

Trump defeated Vice President Kamala Harris in the 2024 election, becoming just the second POTUS to serve two nonconsecutive terms (Grover Cleveland was the first).

Elon Musk Donated $288 Million For Trump’s Presidential Run

Long before the 2024 United States presidential election, Elon Musk had donated to Democratic and Republican politicians. In the last election, Musk endorsed Democrat Andrew Yang for his presidential campaign.

But ever since Trump began his campaign for the 2024 election, Musk has emerged as one of the GOP’s main donors. According to the Washington Post, Musk donated $288 million to Trump’s 2024 campaign.

Hollywood y el mundo de la tecnología acaban de ser sacudidos por un caso exitoso cuando Robert De Niro, la leyenda de la pantalla, presentó oficialmente una demanda contra Elon Musk, el multimillonario detrás de Tesla y SpaceX, con la cantidad de compensación por hasta $ 100 millones. El caso fue presentado a la Corte Suprema de California a fines de febrero de 2025, solo unos días después de que tuviera lugar los 97 Oscar sin la presencia de De Niro, por primera vez en décadas. Se dice que la razón derivada de una controvertida declaración de almizcle ha llevado a la prohibición de la asistencia y al nombre del nombre de De Niro de todas las nominaciones de la academia.

Comenzó cuando Musk publicó un tweet a mediados de enero, llamó a De Niro “un hombre moral falso” y llamó a los Oscar “que eliminen a aquellos que solo saben cómo predicar”. Este tweet llegó inmediatamente después de que De Niro criticó públicamente a Musk en una entrevista, relacionada con su influencia en la política estadounidense. Poco después, la academia anunció repentinamente que a De Niro se le prohibió asistir a la ceremonia de entrega de premios y no fue considerado para ninguna nominación a los Oscar 2025, aunque acababa de terminar el papel principal en una película altamente calificada. El equipo legal de De Niro argumentó que el discurso de Musk causó una presión innecesaria a la academia, lo que provocó una seria reputación y daños financieros al actor de 81 años.

La reacción de ambos lados es feroz. De Niro, en una breve declaración, dijo: “He dedicado toda mi vida al arte, y nadie, incluido el almizcle, puede privar eso”. Mientras tanto, Musk respondió en X con un tono desafiante: “¿Me demandé 100 millones? Buena suerte, Bob – La corte no es tu película. La comunidad en línea inmediatamente dividió el lado. Los fanáticos de De Niro llaman a esto “una batalla por la justicia”, mientras que el fanático del fanático se burló: “¿Está este viejo pensando que es realmente Tony Soprano?”

Esta demanda no es solo una confrontación personal, sino que también destaca el conflicto entre los artistas tradicionales y las nuevas fuerzas en la tecnología. Con De Niro reclamando daños materiales y espirituales, el juicio promete durar y dramático. La academia declinó hacer comentarios, pero la presión del público podría obligarlos a revisar la decisión. ¿De Niro ganará y recuperará honor, o Musk continuará demostrando la influencia imparable? Cuando la corte se acerca, todo el mundo está esperando ver quién será la última risa.

The Los Angeles Lakers won a hard-fought game against the New York Knicks on Thursday night, but the action on the floor wasn’t the most-talked about altercation at Crypto.com Arena.

A video of LeBron James confronting ESPN’s Stephen A. Smith went viral after the game, as fans looked to analyze the on-court faceoff between the NBA legend and the sports media superstar.

Smith confirmed that the interaction took place during Friday’s episode of “First Take,” despite saying multiple times that he initially did not want to discuss it.

Smith revealed that James approached him as a father instead of a basketball player, and that he wanted Smith to stop talking about his son and Lakers teammate Bronny James.

Many believed that this altercation took place after the game between the Knicks and Lakers, but new video shows that the two had the conversation right before the fourth quarter.

The Lakers controlled the game down the stretch to win their eighth in a row in Thursday’s overtime thriller.

James scored 12 points across the fourth quarter and overtime to give his team the win, as they continue to rise in the Western Conference. At their current pace, the Lakers would be a lock for at least the No. 2 seed in the West – a stark contrast to their outlook at the beginning of the season.

Trading for a player like Luka Doncic has the potential to revitalize any team or lineup in the league, but the Lakers have been more engaged and locked in defensively since the trade as well.

Los Angeles will look for win No. 9 in a row in a massive matchup on Saturday night. They’ll head east to take on the defending champion Boston Celtics, who enter at No. 2 in the Eastern conference this season.

Celtics-Lakers has a ton of intrigue nearly every time the two teams play, regardless of what’s at stake. Saturday night may only be a regular season meeting, but it could be a preview of this year’s NBA Finals.

We’ll see which team comes out on top when the Lakers bring their eight-game winning streak into Boston to face the Celtics. Fans can catch the game at 8:30 PM on ABC.

 

 

The popular sportscaster, who is slated to be back for another season of NFL coverage on ESPN, is causing a major stir on social media over the latest picture she posted.

Over the weekend, Rutledge took to her Instagram page and shared a bathroom selfie and some other photos.

Her top-notch beauty shouldn’t be too much of a shock as she has been thrilling people with it for well over a decade.

Before her career in sports broadcasting, Rutledge competed in beauty pageants. In 2012, she was crowned Miss Florida, which led to her participation in the Miss America pageant the following year.

Rutledge attended the University of Florida, where she graduated with a bachelor’s degree in broadcast journalism. She gained prominence as a reporter for ESPN and the SEC Network. It seems she has gotten past the massive layoffs from the company and that bodes well for her as well as fans who like seeing her.

Travis Kelce Teams Up With Olivia Dunne To Promote Another Questionable Product

Travis Kelce is shopping another product some people may find questionable. This time, he’s doing it with one of the most popular athletes in the influencer space.

Kelce has teamed up with LSU gymnast Olivia Dunne for a commercial promoting the Accelerator Active energy drink.

They have both taken to their social media pages to share videos, and the brand has also followed a new ad campaign with a photo showing them in front of a shopping display teaming with the sports drink.

 

“Easy choice for @killatrav & @livvydunne 🛒 #AccelerateYourDay #TeamAccelerator,” they said in a post on Friday.

 

Kelce has been associated with Accelerator Energy for a few months, also having named it the official energy drink of the ‘New Heights’ podcast he runs with his brother Jason.

“I got Livvy Dunne in the building, LSU gymnast, absolutely just an awesome person, she’s down there making Accelerator look amazing,” Kelce told ‘Good Morning America’ this week after working alongside Dunne.

Dunne has also described the Kansas City Chiefs tight end in glowing terms.

“What really attracted to me to the Accelerator at first was the loaded roster of top tier athletes that use this and drink it,” Dunne told the New York Post last year. “I mean, Aaron Judge Travis Kelce—they all use it and they’re obviously amazing athletes. So that’s what really attracted me to this product.”

Travis Kelce Has Faced Criticism For Past Commercials

Travis Kelce has come under fire for promoting questionable products in recent times.

He’s taken a lot of criticism for his Pfizer vaccine advertisement. He also took some heat for the ad he did for Bud Light.

This latest venture might not be considered as bad as the aforementioned, but plenty of folks think energy drinks are bad for one’s health, given that they’re known to spike dopamine levels, raise blood sugar and pressure, cause dehydration, and accelerate heartbeats, among other things.

Still, Accelerator Energy is considered to be one of the healthier brands out there. That’s because it doesn’t contain lots of sugar and features natural caffeine sources.

Stephen Curry, NBA superstar and legendary shooter, turns 36 today—but you wouldn’t guess it from his youthful appearance and continued dominance on the basketball court. Known for his elite athleticism and sharp shooting skills, Curry continues to defy age, delivering top-tier performances and keeping fans eagerly anticipating what he’ll achieve next.

Throughout his illustrious career, Curry has been part of one of the most iconic rivalries in recent NBA history, frequently facing off against LeBron James. The two stars have competed in four NBA Finals, with Curry’s Golden State Warriors often coming out on top. Despite their intense on-court rivalry, Curry and LeBron share mutual respect and admiration. Interestingly, the two basketball greats were even born in the same hospital, further highlighting their unique bond and shared history.

Off the court, Curry’s personality shines just as brightly. One quirky aspect of his character is his well-known popcorn obsession. Curry’s love for popcorn runs so deep that he’s developed his own ranking system for NBA arenas based solely on popcorn quality. His affection for snacks extends beyond popcorn; unlike his rival LeBron, who maintains a strict diet, Curry has a sweet tooth and frequently indulges in candy, making it a perfect go-to gift for those looking to celebrate his birthday.

Curry’s personal life is as noteworthy as his basketball career. He has been happily married to Ayesha Curry since their teenage years, and together they’ve built a strong family foundation. Known widely as a devoted husband and father, Curry continually emphasizes the importance of family, maintaining a wholesome image admired by fans worldwide.

On the professional front, Curry’s NBA journey has been marked by remarkable achievements. As a three-time NBA champion, Curry led the Warriors to five consecutive NBA Finals appearances from 2015 to 2019, cementing his place among basketball legends. His prowess from the three-point line is unparalleled; with a remarkable 43% career three-point shooting percentage, Curry has broken numerous NBA records, earning the undisputed title of the league’s “Three-Point King.”

While Curry appears unstoppable against most opponents, he openly admits that playing against his brother, Seth Curry, presents emotional challenges. Their family ties make matchups uniquely difficult, adding a personal dimension to their professional rivalry.

Adding a humorous yet practical twist to Curry’s disciplined playing style, his mother famously imposed a turnover penalty on him, fining him $100 each game he committed three or more turnovers. This unusual strategy effectively improved his ball-handling and caution during games.

Beyond basketball, Curry is deeply committed to charity work. His charitable endeavors notably include donating mosquito nets to fight malaria in Africa—he donates a net for every successful three-pointer he makes. This initiative reflects his broader commitment to global health and humanitarian causes.

Curry’s strong Christian faith profoundly influences his life and career. His shoes famously carry the inspirational Bible verse, “I can do all things,” symbolizing his belief, focus, and dedication both on and off the court.

Fans often notice Curry’s nervous habit of chewing his mouthguard during intense moments in games. This quirky trait helps him remain calm, composed, and focused under pressure, becoming almost as iconic as his flawless three-point shots.

As Curry celebrates his 36th birthday, he remains an influential figure in sports, family life, and philanthropy. His ongoing elite performance, youthful energy, and genuine personality continue to captivate audiences worldwide, leaving fans excited to see how his legacy further unfolds.

Recent footage from the NBA All-Star Game has ignited widespread online speculation about LeBron James and his relationship with Vanessa Bryant and her family. The video prominently showcased an emotional moment between LeBron James and Kobe Bryant’s daughters, Natalia, Bianka, and Capri. However, notably absent from the video was Vanessa Bryant’s reaction, leading viewers to debate possible editorial intent behind this omission.

LeBron James has consistently voiced admiration and respect for Vanessa Bryant, particularly in the aftermath of Kobe Bryant’s tragic passing in January 2020. He has praised her resilience and strength publicly on several occasions, emphasizing the courage Vanessa has demonstrated during incredibly challenging circumstances. Vanessa has also openly shown her support and appreciation for LeBron, most notably in 2020 when she defended him against criticism from the Los Angeles County Sheriff. At that time, Vanessa redirected attention toward the sheriff department’s internal misconduct issues, effectively reshaping public discourse and shielding LeBron from potential negative attention.

The complex history between LeBron James and Kobe Bryant also adds depth to the current speculation. Initially seen as rivals on the court, LeBron and Kobe’s relationship evolved over the years into one of mutual admiration and respect. Kobe Bryant famously welcomed LeBron to the Los Angeles Lakers in 2018, despite skepticism from some Lakers fans about the direction of the franchise. Their relationship seemed to deepen significantly, marked by mutual acknowledgment of each other’s legacy, accomplishments, and dedication to the sport. Tragically, Kobe’s untimely death further highlighted their bond, prompting LeBron to openly express profound grief and respect for Kobe’s legacy.

Since Kobe Bryant’s passing, LeBron has maintained close ties with the Bryant family, continuing to publicly support them at key events and through personal interactions. His interactions with Kobe’s daughters at the All-Star Game were viewed by many as a testament to the genuine care and respect he holds for Kobe’s legacy. However, the omission of Vanessa’s reaction from the video has triggered various interpretations online, ranging from innocent editorial choices to more intentional narrative framing.

LeBron James’ influence within the NBA extends beyond his relationship with the Bryant family and has long been a subject of considerable debate. Throughout his remarkable 21-year NBA career, LeBron has often been at the center of conversations regarding behind-the-scenes power dynamics within the teams he’s played for. Notably, multiple head coaches have been dismissed during or shortly after his tenure with teams such as the Cleveland Cavaliers, Miami Heat, and Los Angeles Lakers, fueling speculation about LeBron’s involvement in coaching decisions.

The recent trade involving Anthony Davis has further intensified these discussions. Davis, a critical component of the Lakers’ recent successes, was traded under circumstances that prompted speculation about LeBron’s influence on organizational decisions. Some theories circulating online suggest that LeBron may have felt uncomfortable with Davis’ strong emotional connections to Kobe Bryant’s legacy, leading to a strategic move aimed at redefining team dynamics. Critics argue that Davis’ presence continually evoked comparisons and connections to Kobe’s legacy, potentially overshadowing LeBron’s individual narrative within the Lakers organization.

Despite these speculations, no concrete evidence has emerged publicly to confirm LeBron’s direct involvement in decisions regarding roster changes or coaching adjustments. Yet, the frequency and nature of these occurrences continue to drive narratives of LeBron’s powerful influence within the NBA ecosystem.

Whether viewed purely as an extraordinary athlete or perceived as a strategic figure exercising substantial influence behind the scenes, LeBron James’ legacy undeniably shapes contemporary basketball culture and the NBA landscape. His career, achievements, and off-court actions continually fuel narratives, discussions, and debates among fans, media, and sports analysts alike.

In summary, while the recent viral video has reignited discussions about LeBron James’ relationship with Vanessa Bryant and Kobe Bryant’s legacy, it also highlights broader questions about his role within team structures and decisions. Regardless of personal interpretations or the credibility of various theories, LeBron James remains one of the most influential and polarizing figures in modern sports, whose legacy continues to provoke conversation, admiration, and speculation.

Michael Jordan’s Heartwarming Gesture: A Legend’s Act of Gratitude Transforms Lives

In a touching return to his roots, basketball legend Michael Jordan recently visited his old high school in Wilmington, North Carolina. The journey home was filled with nostalgia and powerful memories, yet the most impactful moment came from a surprise encounter in the school’s hallways.

Jordan was moved to see a familiar face, Mr. James Wilson, the school’s dedicated 80-year-old janitor, still diligently at work. Memories of Wilson’s support during Jordan’s challenging teenage years flooded back, prompting the legend to take life-changing action for the janitor who had made an enduring impact on his life.

Recognizing Mr. Wilson’s decades of quiet, dedicated labor, Jordan launched a secret plan to express his profound gratitude. First, he arranged for Wilson and his wife to enjoy a much-needed vacation. Meanwhile, Jordan mobilized a skilled team to carry out an extreme makeover of the couple’s aging home, transforming it with a new roof, modern kitchen, accessible bathroom, and comfortable bedroom—all thoughtfully designed for aging in place.

But Jordan didn’t stop there. Understanding the importance of lasting stability, he established a trust fund to secure the Wilsons’ financial future, covering medical expenses, everyday living costs, and ongoing home maintenance.

In an extraordinary tribute, Jordan further established the James Wilson Foundation to honor and support essential school staff, including janitors, bus drivers, and cafeteria workers—those unsung heroes whose daily contributions too often go unnoticed.

When Mr. Wilson returned from his vacation to find his home beautifully renovated and future secured, he was overwhelmed with emotion, receiving a retirement gift beyond his wildest dreams.

Through this powerful act, Michael Jordan has reminded everyone that gratitude, no matter how small it begins, can create a profound and lasting legacy. He encourages us all to acknowledge and appreciate the “Mr. Wilsons” in our own lives, demonstrating that simple gestures of kindness can indeed change lives.

Haliey Welchand Sam Darnold (Photos via YouTube and Getty Images)
‘Hawk Tuah’ girl Haliey Welch made headlines earlier this week when she teased that her mystery boyfriend was none other than Minnesota Vikings quarterback Sam Darnold.

In a teaser for the next episode of her podcast, Welch announced that she would reveal her boyfriend, whom she refers to as “Pookie.” Sam Darnold’s image was shown in the post, leading to speculation that the veteran NFL QB was the mystery man all along:

But in the new episode of her podcast that dropped today, Welch revealed the identity of her boyfriend. To mock a line from the legendary Maury Povich….Sam Darnold is NOT the pookie.

It turns out that the boyfriend is not a celebrity. He’s a gentleman named Kelby, who admitted to trying to stay away from the spotlight because he enjoys his small-town lifestyle.

Well, at least the Sam Darnold teaser probably helped the viewership for this episode.

Sam Darnold Is Having A Career Year For Vikings

The former 2018 first-round pick has been a feel-good story for the Vikings this season. Sam Darnold is completing 68.6 percent of pass attempts for 2,141 yards, 17 touchdowns and 10 interceptions.

Minnesota has a 7-2 record, tied for the second-best record in the NFC with the Philadelphia Eagles. Barring a late-season collapse, they’ll be back in the postseason for the second time in three years.

Molly Qerim (Photo via ESPN)
ESPN star Molly Qerim has become known for eye-popping outfits that she wears on First Take, but fans are paying less attention to what she had on and more on what came out of her mouth this week.

On Wednesday, the “First Take” crew discussed the upcoming 4 Nations Face-Off final between the U.S. and Canada when Qerim gave her opinion on the fighting aspect of the sport.

Qerim alleged there was “hypocrisy” in the sport of Hockey because fighting is allowed to a point where it is frowned upon and disciplined heavily in other sports.

“It’s just interesting to me that in certain sports, you’re allowed to fight. And other sports, it could never happen,” Molly Qerim said. “Optics! … Just a little hypocrisy.”

It is unclear exactly what Qerim meant, but it seems like she was trying to invoke race as the main issue as to why it is allowed in Hockey and not other sports where the race of players are much more different.

Whatever the case might be, social media ripped her a new one:

“The optics are different because the rules within Hockey are different v basketball and other sports. In Hockey, fighting is allowed if you follow the procedures e.g. taking off your gloves. The refs allow it and break it up at the right time. Molly just doesn’t know Hockey!” one fan said.

“Stand on business you fraud @MollyQerim and say what you really wanna say… passive aggressive 🤡,” another fan stated.

“I love @MollyQerim, but I couldn’t disagree more here. There are literal penalties for fighting in Hockey because it is part of the fabric of the game. It’s within the rule book. Fighting never has and never will be part of the NBA game. It’s an apples to oranges comp,” one fan added about Molly Qerim’s comments.

“Holy hell, Molly is something. Does she realize fighting has been apart of Hockey for decades?” a fourth fan asked.

“This is genuinely awful announcing”, another fan said.

One final fan added: “Leave it to ESPN to insert race & black victimization into almost every conversation… 🙄.”

Will Molly Qerim Speak Out About Her Hockey Comments?

Molly Qerim (Photo via mollyqerim/Instagram)
Molly Qerim, the dynamic host of ESPN’s “First Take” alongside Stephen A. Smith, is no stranger to controversy.

Fights occur quite often in men’s hockey, and although they are policed, Molly is not a fan of them being allowed and celebrated while other sports are condemned.

Fans blasted her for her words, but do not expect her to speak out further.

Qerim has caused controversy before with her opinions, and she has rarely come back out to apologize or expand on her previous comments.
