Lil Wayne Lies, is Not Actually Banned From Anything, NBA Says

Lil Wayne is a liar who is not actually banned from NBA events, as he claimed over All-Star Weekend in Houston, the league said Tuesday. NBA Senior Director of Basketball Communications Mark Broussard said there “no truth at all” to the claims Weezy made during a performance. Wayne had told the crowd the NBA had banned him from all events because of his beef with the Miami Heat , stemming from an incident last week. The rapper claims he was somehow kicked out of a Heat game for rooting for the visiting Los Angeles Lakers; the organization says he left voluntarily. During the rant against the league, and the Heat, Wayne also boasted that he once had sex with Miami star Chris Bosh’s wife Adrienne Williams. The Heat and the Bosh family have yet to directly address that part of his rant, although she did hint at it with a pair of inspirational re-tweets this week. This isn’t Weezy’s first feud with the NBA or one of its franchises, nor the first time the 30-year-old’s version of events doesn’t mesh with reality. Last year, he was hilariously denied entry by Oklahoma City because he had no ticket to a sold-out game, which he believed was a personal snub.

Donald Trump Threatens Lawsuit Over Macy’s "Dump Trump" Campaign

Donald Trump is now threatening a lawsuit against the individual responsible the Dump Trump campaign , which aims to get him fired by Macy’s. Angelo Carusone organized the online petition that’s garnered a whopping 683,000 signatures asking the store to axe Trump as a celebrity spokesman. The reason(s)? All those “birther” conspiracy theories Trump peddled about President Barack Obama, as well as his general jackassery, most likely. In any case, Trump is not amused. Carusone received a cease and desist from Don’s counsel threatening him with a $25 MILLION lawsuit. The charge? Interfering in Trump’s business and contractual relationships. “Do not test Mr. Trump’s resolve in protecting his professional name, reputation and business affairs,” reads a letter from Trump’s attorney, Alan Garten. The attorney for The Donald went on to accuse the petition’s creator of “mob-like bullying and coercion” and “intentionally disseminated misinformation.” At least publicly, Carusone is not swayed; he’s even laughing it off. “Donald Trump’s attempt to silence me will not work. I’ve dealt with enough bullies and know better than to succumb to intimidation,” he said in a statement. “By threatening me, Trump is only reinforcing our point: that Trump’s ‘brand’ is consequence-free bullying and chicanery; it shouldn’t be rewarded.” BOOM. Trump is also suing Bill Maher for not paying the $5 million he “promised” in an obvious joke, so Carusone may not be too off base with that accusation. Paul Levy, a free-speech attorney for non-profit Public Citizen who represents Carusone, fired back with a letter of his own, defending his client. “Your letter repeatedly asserts, without any factual basis, that Carusone has exaggerated the extent to which the public has endorsed his boycott effort.” “You contend, without being specific, that Carusone casts Trump in a false light.” “There is a well-established First Amendment right to advocate a boycott over policy-related objections,” he said, adding that if you could sue over political disagreements, well … Let’s just say no one would be sued more than Donald J. Trump.
