The City of NO Brotherly Love There was a lot going on in Philly last night. First the Sixers Euro-step Sevyn Streeters National Anthem performance, then during the game a Philly fan steps to Russell Westbrook ready to throw hands. Russ looks like he’s ready to hand deliver the fade to the clearly drunk fan but instead hits him with his signature “Whose mans is this?” face. The WHOLE Thunder starting 5 rushes over to his defense and the man realizes he doesn’t want any problems and swiftly takes a seat.
The Hatfields and McCoys ain’t got nothing on this family feud. Man Shoots Son-In-Law With Flare Gun This man gave zero fawks. According to ABC Arizona: Police arrested a Mesa man suspected of shooting his son-in-law with a flare gun and attempting to stab him with a folding pocket knife Saturday morning near Alma School and Pecos Roads in Chandler. George Brown, 66, was involved in a domestic dispute in front of the victim’s home when the dispute turned violent, police said. The victim was shot in the abdomen with the flare gun causing an open wound with burns, police said. Witnesses stated that they heard Brown say he wanted to shoot the victim and watch him burn to death, according to court documents. During an interview with police, Brown admitted to attempting to stab the victim with the knife saying “I was fixin to kill him,” according to court documents. SMH. Shutterstock
Where’s the brotherly love? Man Beat And Threatened To Castrate Disabled Brother When will this type of ignorance cease? You can’t “beat” the gay out of someone. According to Raw Story: An Ohio man was sentenced to two and a half years in prison on Tuesday for beating his disabled brother and threatening to castrate him. The Columbus Dispatch reported that Lawrence L. Featheroff, 38, was allegedly trying to “push the gay out” of his brother through violence. Fairfield County Common Pleas Judge Chris A. Martin sentenced Featheroff to 30 months in prison for each crime, but he will be allowed to serve them simultaneously. Featheroff admitted to abusing his 26-year-old brother Jason A. Meyers, who is developmentally disabled, but considered high functioning. Featheroff explained to police that he became angry when his brother confessed to having sexual thoughts towards other men. Detective Brian Lowe testified in court that Featheroff “wanted to toughen him up to push the gay out of him and make him a normal person.” To that end, Featheroff bloodied his brother’s nose, held a knife to his genitals and threatened to slice them off and verbally harassed him. It doesn’t make any sense how that poor man suffered at the hands of his own flesh and blood. Sad. Shutterstock
Where did the brotherly love go? Ginuwine Comes For Tyrese On Twitter In his latest Twitter rant Ginuwine apologized for not showing up to the Soul Train Awards and put Tyrese on blast for talking isht behind his back. Kinda foul considering Ty is mourning Paul Walker right now. Instead of ranting on Twitter, he needs to get his azz in the studio so he doesn’t keep embarrassing TGT.

Now that John Hillcoat ‘s brutal Prohibition tale Lawless has hit screens ( read Movieline’s review here ) you can more vividly imagine the testosterone-and-moonshine fueled atmosphere that might have permeated the set, where, as Lawless legend has it, co-stars Shia LaBeouf and Tom Hardy had an unscripted scuffle. Nevertheless, while making the press rounds Hillcoat and LaBeouf both tried to squash rumors of the brotherly beef. Just a little innocent horseplay gone wrong? LaBeouf and Hardy play Jack and Forrest Bondurant, two of a trio of bootlegging brothers who come to blows with the law (and, sometimes, each other) as they run a moonshine empire out of their hill country home base. A third brother, Howard (played by Jason Clarke) rounds out the sibling dynamic, but it’s the strained relationship between the cardigan-clad family head Forrest and young, headstrong Jack that provides the bulk of the dramatic push and pull. As the story goes, one day on set LaBeouf knocked out Hardy and Hardy “never did that roughhouse stuff with me again.” The tangle first came to light in LaBeouf’s fantastically unfiltered Details interview , though that was, understandably, overshadowed by his revelation about hooking up with Transformers co-star Megan Fox and other assorted truth bombs. Then, while promoting his MMA pic Warrior , Hardy dropped a few cheeky quotes about the incident. “I got knocked out by Shia LaBeouf, actually,” Hardy said to journalists, as recounted by Den of Geek . “In Wettest County , apparently .” Apparently! So now comes Hillcoat to set the record straight. “There was this kind of, like, this challenging brotherly thing that starts going on with him,” Hillcoat admitted in an interview with Yahoo . “But yeah, there was a tussle, but it wasn’t quite the thing that was described.” LaBeouf, who’s yet again spilled so many juicier, more distracting quotes of late — from his acid-dropping Method acting to his embracing of real sex in Lars Von Trier’s Nymphomaniac to his maybe-joke that he got the job by sending in a sex tape — tells MTV that the fistfight was borne out of love. “That was straight love,” he said. “There was a lot of love on that set in general. There was a lot of aggression in me and a lot of aggression on [Hardy’s] side. We were playing brothers. There was a constant finger-in-the-ear [teasing] thing going on for a while.” [ Yahoo , MTV ]
