An Alabama Circuit Court judge ruled a former NBA player is not eligible to return to Alabama University for NIL (Name, Image and Likeness) money.

Judge Daniel Pruet denied Alabama basketball player Charles Bediako’s motion to allow him to play for the rest of the season.

A temporary restraining order allowed the former NBA G League player to join the Alabama Crimson Tide in the middle of the season.

The 23-year-old center averaged 10 points, 4.6 rebounds and 1.4 blocks in five games for Alabama.

NCAA eligibility rules allows players who already graduated from college to continue playing. But critics say the eligibility rules come at the expense of high school athletes.

NCAA President Charlie Baker said the judge’s ruling was a “common sense” decision.

“Common sense won a round today,” Baker said. “The court saw this for what it is: an attempt by professionals to pivot back to college and crowd out the next generation of students. College sports are for students, not for people who already walked away to go pro and now want to hit the ‘undo’ button at the expense of a teenager’s dream. While we’re glad the court upheld the rules our members actually want, one win doesn’t fix the national mess of state laws. It’s time for Congress to stop watching from the sidelines and help us provide some actual stability.”

Athletes who continue to play after graduating from college include Miami University quarterback Carson Beck, 23, who graduated from the University of Georgia 2 years ago.

Carson earned $3 million in NIL money at the University of Miami in 2025.

It’s tax season and celebrities are donating tens of millions of dollars to worthy causes in exchange for nice tax write-offs.

Ciara and Russell Wilson have a combined net worth of nearly $200 million. Most of their wealth would be gobbled up by taxes if they didn’t make generous donations and other tax write-offs.

Sherri Shepherd says she’s not ready to throw in the towel after her daytime talk show was canceled.

The Sherri Shepherd Show will not be renewed for a 5th season, according to Variety.

“This decision is driven by the evolving daytime television landscape and does not reflect on the strength of the show, its production – which has found strong creative momentum this season – or the incredibly talented Sherri Shepherd,” Debmar-Mercury said in a statement. “We believe in this show and in Sherri and intend to explore alternatives for it on other platforms.”

Sherri added that she will “continue to fight to keep the show alive.”

“I am truly overwhelmed by the outpouring of love I’ve received from all of you… the intention of this show was always, ALWAYS for you to leave happier than when you came,” Sherri said in her message. “It has been my dream to have a talk show and I’m so grateful I got the chance to do it for four seasons.”

The Federal Bureau of Investigations released a surveillance photo that shows a suspect in the disappearance of “Today” show anchor Savannah Guthrie’s mother, Nancy Guthrie.

Federal authorities released surveillance photos showing a “potential suspect” as the search for Nancy Guthrie enters its 10th day.

The B&W images shows a person wearing a ski mask, jacket, jeans, black latex gloves and carrying a backpack and a gun. The suspect seems to be tampering with a doorbell camera at the front door of Nancy’s Tucson home.

The doorbell camera was missing from its bracket near the front door, police said.

Nancy Guthrie, 84, was last seen on Saturday, Jan. 31, when she was dropped off at her $1 million Tucson, Arizona home after having dinner with daughter, Annie Guthrie, and son-in-law, Tommaso Cioni.

A family friend reported Nancy missing at noon on Sunday when she failed to show up at a friend’s home to watch CCTV video from Savannah Guthrie’s church service in New York City.

Ransom notes sent to gossip blog TMZ and a local Tucson news station have been dismissed by law enforcement as not relevant to the case. The deadline for a $6 million ransom to be paid in Bitcoin passed on Monday, Feb. 9.

Veteran homicide investigator Paul Ciolino says he believes Nancy Guthrie’s kidnapping was staged.

“I don’t think she was kidnapped,” Ciolino said in a livestream video. He noted that the alleged kidnappers never provided proof of life to the family before the deadline passed on Monday.

Savannah Guthrie released a third video on Monday pleading for help from the public.

“We are at an hour of desperation, and we need your help,” she said in the video.

WNBA star Rickea Jackson revealed shocking details from her domestic dispute with James Pearce Jr. that ended in violence on Saturday.

James, 22, was arrested on five felony charges after their domestic altercation erupted in Miami. His charges include two counts of aggravated battery with a deadly weapon and aggravated stalking.

Rickea, 24, called 911 on Saturday morning, stating James was following her in his car. She told police they recently broke up after a 3-year relationship, and she blocked his phone number, but he used another phone to text her.

“A text shows Rickea told him to leave her alone, and she wanted nothing to do with him. He kept texting her, and when she left her house, she noticed him driving behind her. When she was stopped at a red light, she told police he got out of his car and tried to open her door,” Trish Christakis of NBC 6 Miami wrote on X (Twitter).

James jumped back into his car, followed Rickea, and tried to rear-end her car near the police station.

When Rickea tried to reverse, he collided head-on with her car. Doral police arrived and he drove into an officer, injuring the officer’s knee.

James fled and crashed at an intersection. Police ordered him out of the car with guns drawn. It took 7 officers to wrestle the 6’5″ Atlanta Falcons linebacker to the ground and take him into custody.

James was released from jail on Sunday night after posting a $20,500 bond.

He was ordered to stay away from Rickea and have no contact with her.

James denied the charges in a statement issued through his attorney.

“We look forward to working with the State Attorney’s office in fully investigating this case and uncovering the truth,” James’ attorney, Jacob Nunez, said in a statement on Monday.

“Mr. Pearce maintains his innocence and urges the public to understand that while allegations have the power to shape a narrative, that it is hardly the full, complete story. We look forward to vigorously defending our client and remain confident that he will continue contributing positively to both his team and the community he serves so well.”

Rapper GloRilla (born Gloria Hallelujah Woods) went live with her parents on Facebook to dispute her sister’s allegations that she doesn’t help them financially.

During a Facebook Live stream, GloRilla (left) and her parents addressed her sister, Victoria “ScarFace” Woods’ accusations directly.

Victoria, a struggling rapper with cashflow problems, said their mom still punches a clock at FedEx to make ends meet.

“Y’all favorite rapper ain’t sh*t and I’m getting tired of it,” ScarFace said in a video.

She spoke directly to viewers who say GloRilla isn’t obligated to financially support grown adults.

“Y’all mad. F-k y’all talking ’bout she ain’t obligated. How the f-k she ain’t obligated when she gon’ sit here in all them interviews and talk about all the struggles we been though and ain’t reach back and help none of us out.”

ScarFace said a $2,500 gift from her sister would help her financial situation.

GloRilla responded by going live with her parents on Facebook.

GloRilla’s father said he’s “lost count” of all the support his daughter has provided for him.

“What get done for you every time you ask? Tell them how I treat you. Tell the world how I treat you,” Glo’ asked her father.

“Man, look, you have been outstanding! I could never pay you back for all the sh-t. I done lost count,” her appreciative father said.

“You know, daddy, that’s all that matters. You and my mommy taken care of, and I’m happy,” Glo’ said with a big smile.

“You take damn good care of me… I got no complaints,” her father assured the world.

“Thank you, daddy. You deserve it,” she replied.

As for her mother, GloRilla said she continues to work because she wants to.

“Ma, you keep doing what you wanna do. You keep getting spoiled every month, and you keep working because you wanna work, ’cause you don’t wanna lay on your back and beg nobody for nothin’.”

GloRilla’s mom chimed in, saying she had to resign from her job because “the girl told where we worked, the hours that we were doing, so we had to resign.”

Her mom said she only worked part-time – about 3 hours a day.

GloRilla’s mother blamed herself for ScarFace’s money struggles.

“She didn’t know we were working at first, and when I couldn’t give her the money… that made her think that I was struggling,” her mom explained.

Wendy Williams is mourning the loss of her father, Thomas Williams Sr., who passed away last week at age 94. No cause of death was given.

Wendy’s niece, Alex Finnie confirmed Thomas’ death Sunday on social media. He died just days before his 95th birthday.

Thomas was a teacher, a school principal and the first black school administrator in Red Bank, New Jersey.

Wendy’s brother, Tommy, posted an updated photo of his sister on Instagram on Feb. 7.

Wendy quit working as a daytime talk show host in 2021 amid health problems, including Graves’ disease, hyperthyroidism, and lymphedema, that caused swelling in her legs and ankles.

In 2023, Wendy was diagnosed with aphasia and frontotemporal dementia. She was placed under a guardianship one year later.

Earlier this year, Wendy was concerned that she’d be allowed to attend her dad’s 95th birthday.

Wendy has not publicly commented on her father’s death.

New England Patriots wide receiver Mack Hollins went viral on Sunday when he showed up at the Super Bowl wearing a prison jumpsuit with shackles on his hands and feet.

The eccentric NFL star also wore a spit mask covering the lower half of his face. The video quickly went viral and left many Super Bowl viewers scratching their heads.

“RANGE 13” printed on the back of his prison jumpsuit referenced a supermax prison. Some fans said Hollins was dressed up as Hannibal Lector, the fictional serial killer from the movie “Silence of the Lambs.”

Hollins is known for publicity stunts and antics to make himself stand out. But this might be his craziest stunt yet.

Hollins, who won Super Bowl LII with the Philadelphia Eagles, has publicly stated he doesn’t wear shoes because they’re “dirty.”

“Everyone should be barefoot,” Hollins told Sports Illustrated in a 2025 interview. “It’s so funny that people look at me like that because shoes are definitely dirtier than feet.”

Hollins’ arrival was one of the most talked-about moments during Super Bowl 60.

One person wrote on X (Twitter), “Is anyone else sick of this performative bullsh*t?!!! Patriots WR Mack Hollins arrives for the Super Bowl dressed like Hannibal Lector… What in the entire eff was the point?”

Another person wrote: “This is how Patriots WR Mack Hollins arrived at the Super Bowl. Wtf is going on at the NFL…”
