Jay-Z and his daughter Blue Ivy Carter were among the well-heeled celebrities sitting courtside at the NBA Cup Quarterfinals game between the Los Angeles Lakers and San Antonio Spurs at Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles on Wednesday.

The 13-year-old dancer wore an oversized Balenciaga jacket with cargo style denim pants. She accessorized with a purse by Diesel and a pair of her mom’s throwback burgundy Isabel Marant wedge sneakers, which Beyonce popularized in 2011.

In addition to the Grammy-award winner, Beyonce and Jay-Z share twins Sir and Rumi, 8.

Blue Ivy and her dad proved to be bad luck for the Lakers. The Spurs buried the Lakers in 3-point shots seemingly at will.

LeBron, 40, threw down a massive one-handed dunk that lifted the roof off the arena in the 2nd quarter.

Despite LeBron’s heroics, the Spurs (without superstar Victor Wembanyama) routed the Lakers 132-119.

Each player on the winning team earns a cash prize of $530,000 at the NBA Cup Championship on December 16.

The Lakers won the inaugural NBA Cup championship in Las Vegas in 2023.

Blue Ivy, Jay-Z and LeBron spoke after the game. Blue Ivy and her dad looked disappointed. But it was just another night for LeBron, who turns 41 on December 30.

The Root listed details that were wrong or missing in 50 Cent’s controversial Netflix documentary series, titled “Sean Combs: The Reckoning.”

Sean “Puffy” Combs is serving 50 months in a New Jersey federal prison for transporting male escorts over state lines.

The Root listed details in the documentary that were inconsistent, missing, or flat out wrong.

Missing Information on Kim Porter

Kim Porter, model and mother of three of Puffy’s children, died in 2018 from pneumonia. But the documentary skipped details about Kim’s death. Fans noted that the series missed the opportunity to cover Kim’s life with Puffy and the aftermath of her death.

Touré Says 50 Cent Lied About Biggie’s Death

Journalist Touré called out 50 Cent for mischaracterizing an interview Touré did with slain rapper Notorious BIG. The clip made it seem like Biggie is scared of Sean Combs. It was positioned right before a scene about Biggie’s death. However, Touré said Biggie made the comment after his first album – and he was talking about the street. “That’s him talking about I’m afraid of getting knocked off on the street,” Touré explained in a TikTok video.

Combs’s mother, Janice Combs, spoke out about “inaccuracies” in the series regarding her grandson, Justin, being fathered by Puffy’s former bodyguard Wolf. That lie was already debunked, but Puffy’s former bodyguard, Gene Deal, insists it’s true.

The documentary also claimed Janice beat Puffy throughout his childhood. She denied the abuse.

“I am writing this statement to correct some of the lies presented. These inaccuracies regarding my son Sean’s upbringing and family life is intentionally done to mislead viewers and further harm our reputation,” Janice wrote, “My memories of Sean growing up are one of a respectful and diligent child and teenager.”

Shannon Sharpe commented after Sherrone Moore lost his coaching job at the University of Michigan for having an “inappropriate relationship” with his assistant.

The university’s athletic department fired Moore, 39, on Wednesday, December 10, after an investigation determined the married coach was having an affair with his executive assistant, Paige Shiver, 31.

Shannon discussed Moore’s situation with cohosts Chad “Ochocinco” Johnson and Joe Johnson on last night’s episode of his “Nightcap” podcast.

“You never think a situation like this can happen to you,” he said. “I can imagine. 6, 7 months ago I went through something very similar. So I know what that storm is like.”

Shannon recently settled a $50 million lawsuit with his former girlfriend. He also lost his ESPN job and a media deal worth over $100 million.

After Sherrone Moore lost his $13.8 million coaching job, he argued with his wife, Kelli Moore, then went to Paige Shiver’s home in Saline, Michigan, broke in, and held a knife to his neck while threatening to kill himself and Shiver.

He reportedly yelled that Shiver ruined his life.

Police took Moore into custody at a church on Wednesday night, after his wife shared his cell phone location with officers.

Shiver deleted her X (Twitter) page after the news broke and her name went viral on Wednesday. She also set her Instagram page to private.

According to reports, an investigation into their relationship began after the athletic department received a tip from a DoorDash driver who delivered Plan B pills to Moore’s office on campus.

Plan B pills are over-the-counter emergency contraceptives that prevent pregnancies after unprotected s*x.

According to UM Salary, Moore nearly doubled Shiver’s salary from $58,025 to $90,000 in 2024 after she aborted their unborn child.

Shiver is the daughter of veteran Chicago Bears scout Jeff Shiver. She was profiled by the Chicago Bears in 2016 while fighting an illness.

Moore and Shiver are seen together in this video below.

The 58-year-old comedienne explained she was going through menopause.

The View cohosts empathized with Leslie, since most of them went through menopause already.

The cohosts continued asking Leslie questions to distract her. “How’s the [dating] pool out there? Have you found any men that would do that for you?” asked Sunny.

“Do what? Wipe my sweat?” Leslie replied. “No. Unfortunately, like, I’m 58 now, so I’m past the BS.”

Joy Behar told Leslie she should be post-menopausal by now. “It’s different for everyone,” said Alyssa Farah Griffin, 36.

“Do we got a beef?” Leslie asked Joy.

“Not that I know of,” Joy responded. “We respectfully disagree,” Joy told Alyssa.

Sweating profusely is one of the signs & symptoms of menopause. Sweating is usually preceded by a hot flash multiple times a day and night.

Police arrested Sherrone Moore after he was fired as head coach of the University of Michigan football team.

The University fired the Wolverines coach on Wednesday, December 10, after an investigation determined he was having an affair with his assistant.

The university issued a statement Wednesday night that Moore was let go for engaging in an “inappropriate relationship with a staff member.”

“This conduct constitutes a clear violation of University policy, and U-M maintains zero tolerance for such behavior,” Michigan director of athletics Warde Manuel said in a statement on Wednesday.

Moore, 39, has been married for 10 years to his wife, Kelli. The couple has three daughters.

On Wednesday evening, Moore was detained by police after he broke into his assistant’s home. Police said Moore was suicidal.

“The City of Saline Police Department assisted in locating and detaining former University of Michigan football coach Sherrone Moore,” ESPN’s Dan Wetzel reported. “Mr. Moore was turned over to the Pittsfield Township Police Department for investigation into potential charges.”

Moore’s lover wasn’t named, but sleuths on X (Twitter) identified her as his executive assistant who is reportedly pregnant and engaged to another man.

An X user wrote: “This is apparently the girl that Sherrone Moore was sleeping with… she is also the daughter of Chicago Bears executive scout, Jeff Shiver.”

Moore began his coaching career as the Wolverines Tight Ends coach from 2018-2020. He was promoted to head coach in 2024. Moore led the football team to a 7-5 record last year and a 9-3 record this year.

Biff Poggi has been named the interim football coach of the Wolverines.

Michigan will take on the Texas Longhorns (9-3) in the Cheez-It Citrus Bowl on New Year’s Eve.

Former MSNBC host Joy Reid says “Jingle Bells” is racist and was written to make fun of Black people.

In a video she shared on Instagram, a man wearing a Christmas sweater and Santa hat looks puzzled as he stares at a plaque marking the site in Medford, Massachusetts where James Lord Pierpont wrote the song “Jingle Bells” in 1850.

The video caption reads “this is where a racist Confederate soldier wrote ‘Jingle Bells’ to make fun of black people, and has its origins in bigoted minstrel shows that were popular at the time.”

“Jingle Bells” was originally titled “The One Horse Open Sleigh.”

Reid claims Pierpont was hard up for cash when he wrote the song for white actors who wore blackface to mock Black people who participated in winter activities.

She also said the line “laughing all the way” is a reference to a racist comedy routine of that era known as the “Laughing Darkie.”

Pierpont patented the song in 1859 and changed its name to “Jingle Bells.”

The song is one of the most popular Christmas anthems in the world.

The video shared by Reid claims Pierpont “abandoned his family” to join the Confederate Army at the start of the Civil War, and wrote Southern fight songs to inspire “men defending slavery.”

One school in upstate New York has already banned “Jingle Bells” from its holiday concert.

“Where does one start with Spike Lee?” Coogler asked when introducing the iconic filmmaker. “Without Spike and his work, the reality is I’m not here. And I know that I’m not the only one in this room that would give that assessment.”

Jay Pharoah echoed that sentiment. “Spike Lee was the beacon for every Black kid who wanted to expand their talent through the lens of cinema,” the comedian said.

“[Coogler] inspired so many filmmakers in this generation,” Pharoah added, “in the same fashion as Spike Lee has done for the past 40 years.”

An Indiana DoorDash driver is accused of poisoning a customer’s food order with pepper spray. The driver has been banned from the app after doorbell camera footage shows her spraying a food order with pepper spray.

Mark Cardin, of Indiana, said his wife became ill after eating the food after midnight on Sunday, December 7.

Cardin checked the doorbell camera footage and saw the blue-haired driver spraying a substance on the food before strolling away.

Cardin told 14 News that his wife, Mandy, started choking and vomited after eating the food.

“I noticed my wife had starting eating and she started choking and gasping, and after she had a couple bites of her food she actually threw up,” he told WFIE.

“I had a look at the bag and seen that there was some kind of spray or something,” Cardin said. “The bag had been tampered with. So I pulled up my doorbell camera and seen that the lady who dropped the food off had actually tampered with it on purpose for some reason.”

Cardin shared the photos and videos of the driver on Facebook. He asked his Facebook friends for help identifying the driver.

DoorDash did not identify the driver and she has not been arrested.

Tampering with food is a felony that can be punishable by up to 10 years in prison.
