Some Unvaxxed NBA Players Won't Be Allowed On Their Own Courts
Players in cities that have vaccine mandates to be inside entertainment venues are effectively banned from entering their own home courts- particularly those who play for the New York Knicks, Brooklyn Nets and Golden State Warriors. They must be fully vaccinated to enter team facilities.
What about Ben Simmons he can’t play inside anywhere.
Mets Acting GM Zack Scott DUI
Scott got busted in White Plains for drunk driving.
White plains? More like white stains. Am I right?
Bill Belichick: Cam Wasn't Dropped Because of Vaccine
Patriots head coach Bill Belichick says not everything is about the vaccine, and Cam Newton’s refusal to get the shot has nothing to do with why he was cut from the team.
We believe you Bill. Nobody thought you cared about vaccinations.
Everyone Was Looking for Javvy Baez's Diamond Earing
Moments after Javier Baez scored the winning run yesterday a bunch of people were seen combing home plate including the team president, the pitcher and the grounds crew. They were looking for Javy’s diamond earing which somehow came loose during his dive into home or the celebration after.
Did you search the pockets of the grounds crew?
CELEBS & ENTERTAINMENT
Ye Cheated on Kim
During their marriage, Kanye West cheated on Kim Kardashan and he’s singing about it now.
In the song the West raps, “Here I go actin’ too rich / Here I go with a new chick / And I know what the truth is / Still playin’ after two kids / It’s a lot to digest when your life always movin’.
What is he crazy!??? oh. Yeah he is.
Lawsuit Accuses Mr. Wonderful of Fraud
Twenty plaintiffs say Mr Wonderful isn’t wonderful at all. They say he and his partner scammed them out of a lot of money by fraudulently enticing them to hire companies to help them raise money for their entrepreneurial endeavors. These parties are saying they paid a lot of money to these companies and got zilch in return, and had no chances of getting on Shark Tank despite being lead to believe they would.
Well his life is wonderful…not so much yours.
Jeremy Piven Ready for Entourage Reboot!
Ari Gold wants to head back to the Entourage set and he’s even willing to see his character change to get more in line with 2021 culture. Give him a call! He Ready!

Get Ready for a Shift in Film and TV From Edgy to Uplifting
The people who shape entertainment– the money people– are all looking for aspirational, uplifting and wholesome entertainment. They say they’re getting data from audiences that they’re looking to feel inspired.
I’ve always found Goodfellas to be kind of uplifting.
Get To Know Chet Hanks Via All Gas No Brakes
All Gas No Breaks is known for mocking out the people they interview so guess Chet’s manager(who’s probably Chet) didn’t really do their research. This is the only way White Boy Summer COULD have ended.
Watch the interview on Youtube.

Do You Have to Poop When You're in Bookstores? ME TOO!
A TikTokker struck a chord when she asked her followers why is it that she always has to shit when she’s in a bookstore? A ridiculous amount of TikTokkers agreed that they have experienced the same phenomenon. Buzzfeed asked some experts who said a variety of factors could be at work including a calming environment, the smell of coffee, the relaxation of your body when you’re browsing in a bookstore.
No. The real reason is that bookstores have the only good bathrooms and your asshole knows it.
