Lebron James Signs Liftetime Deal With Nike Lebron James is living up to his jersey number, signing the first ever lifetime endorsement deal granted from Nike. Even though the specifics of the deal have not been released to the public, rumor has it that Lebron just came up on some SERIOUS cash , and will likely be dealing with Nike long after his retirement. Via ESPN : Nike has signed Cleveland Cavaliers forward LeBron James to a lifetime deal in what one source familiar with the negotiations said is the largest single-athlete guarantee in company history. “We can confirm that we have agreed to a lifetime relationship with LeBron that provides significant value to our business, brand and shareholders,” Nike said in a statement. “We have already built a strong LeBron business over the past 12 years, and we see the potential for this to continue to grow throughout his playing career and beyond.” “I’m very humble, man,” James said to reporters after Monday’s practice. “It’s been an unbelievable time for myself and my family, and I’m just grateful that Nike and [Nike founder] Phil Knight and everyone over there just believed in a skinny-old, skinny 18-year-old kid from Akron, Ohio, and I’m happy to be a part of such a great company.” A source close to the deal told ESPN that it easily surpasses the 10-year, $300 million deal Oklahoma City Thunder forward Kevin Durant signed with the world’s largest shoe and apparel brand last summer. Nike has made more versions of James’ shoe than for any other athlete outside of Jordan, who is on his 30th Air Jordan. Both James and Nike’s business has grown exponentially since 2003, when Nike signed James on the eve of the NBA lottery to a seven-year, $90 million deal, its largest athlete deal ever at the time.

Based on recent photos and magazine covers, many celebrity gossip fans out there are wondering: Did Miley Cyrus get lip injections ? Did Miley Cyrus get married to Patrick Schwarzenegger?!? The answers to both of those questions remain unclear, but this much we know: Miley Cyrus definitely rocked a pair of marijuana leaf nipple pasties this week and then made out with a girl. Let’s focus on the former point first, shall we? Then, in the second of a series of Instagram photos snapped at Wayne Coyne’s art gallery party at in Oklahoma City on Saturday, Cyrus swapped spit with Jaci Wells. And you better believe Jaci Wells is female!!! “She’s a ton of fun and super down to earth. It was really comfortable being around her,” Wells tells Us Weekly of meeting Miley. “[It was] definitely [my idea to kiss Miley]. You can’t meet Miley and resist the urge to kiss her.” Cyrus, of course, is no stranger to kissing women (just ask Katy Perry). Nor is she a stranger to donning nothing but pasties over her boobs during an evening on the town. Remember THIS MILEY CYRUS OUTFIT for a night of partying in Miami just a few weeks?

The holy trinity of felonies has manifested itself Via DailyMail A former NBA player has been charged with a gun crime after a police raid on the house of an alleged drug-dealer where he was staying uncovered heroin, meth, guns, a grenade launcher and several prostitutes. Robert Swift, 28, who joined the Seattle Sonics straight out of high school, has been described as a ’heavily armed heroin addict’ by prosecutors in King Country, Washington. Police raided the property last month, and seized a number of weapons from Swift’s bedroom, including a military-style grenade launcher and sawed-off shotgun. On Thursday, Swift was charged Thursday with unlawful possession of a short-barreled shotgun, after police found seven firearms on or under his bed and a 40mm grenade launcher in a safe in his room, in addition to the sawed-off shotgun, KOMO News reports. Swift denied involvement in dealing the drugs, but admitted to having drug paraphernelia in his bedroom, and claimed several suppressors and weapons as his property. The fallen star has been living with the owner of the house, Trygve Bjorkstam, 54, who Swift told police is his heroin dealer, since he was kicked out of his foreclosured home in suburban Seattle last year. Circling the drain, one needle at a time. This is only the latest chapter in the sad saga of the fall of Robert Swift , who was plucked straight out of high school to play NBA basketball at the age of 18, and was a number one draft pick for the Sonics in 2004. Earning multi-million dollar salaries, he played for Seattle and Oklahoma City, who renounced their rights to Swift in December 2009. He attempted a comeback in Japan the following year with the Tokyo Apaches, but the team was dissolved after the 2011 Tsunami. Last year, MailOnline reported how Swift was kicked out of his home in upmarket Seattle suburb of Sammamish, which he had for $1.35million in 2006. The house went into foreclosure after Swift was found to owe $168,000 on his mortgage despite earning $20m during his career. Despite the house being sold to new owners in February 2013, Swift refused to move out and squatted in in squalor, before finally being kicked out in March.

Blake Lively covers Vogue in its new issue, and needless to say because it’s Blake Lively, she looks incredible on it – no matter what she’s wearing. The 26-year-old former Gossip Girl actress dons American frontier-inspired attire in the magazine’s gorgeous photo spread, shot in Wyoming. Lively, famously private, reveals that her wedding dress was burned accidentally right after she tied the knot with husband Ryan Reynolds in 2012. She said that while she watched Florence Welch singing at her wedding reception, sparklers were brought out, and one damaged her Marchesa gown. “And later, my dress was hanging up and Ryan said, ‘Isn’t that beautiful?’ I said, ‘What?’ And he pointed to the burn,” Blake Lively told Vogue . “My heart just stopped,” she said, but Ryan saved the day: “He said, ‘You’ll always remember that moment with Florence singing and the sparklers. You have that forever, right there, preserved.’ Now it’s my favorite part of the dress.” Lively, who jokes that she wants “30” kids, also tells Vogue that she thinks 37-year-old Reynolds is “going to be a great father and leader and patriarch.” She is also making plans to launch her own lifestyle website, Preserve , which aims to “celebrate American craftsmanship,” according to the magazine.
