Ain’t No Love, Bih: Kevin Durant’s OKC Thunder Jersey Is Now Selling For 48 Cents

Kevin Durant’s OKC Thunder Jersey Selling For Only 48 Cents Basketball fans’ mouths were left agape when it was announced that OKC Thunder MVP Kevin Durant was taking his talents aboard the Golden State Warriors bandwagon. Similar to Cleveland Cavaliers fans, many in Oklahoma city were seen on the internet destroying KD’s jerseys in revolt. Today, we get word from ESPN that Durant has VERY little value to Thunder fans… A sporting goods store in Oklahoma City has taken a drastic move — marking down some Kevin Durant Thunder jerseys to 99 percent off. The jerseys, rendered less desirable by Durant’s signing with the Golden State Warriors earlier this month, were hanging on a rack this week at an Academy Sports+Outdoors store in town with a sign advertising them for 48 cents. The replica jersey normally sells for $69.99. No matter how much disdain the community might have for Durant, the jerseys did eventually sell out. Welp. LMAO! Image via AP

Taylor Armstrong to Be Fired From The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills?

The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills is being primed for a makeover, a new report indicates, and Taylor Armstrong may be the odd woman out. The original cast member may be fired as producers reach out to some new ladies in the area, including Rod Stewart’s wife, Penny Lancaster. Rod’s son, Sean, is (not) coincidentally dating Adrienne Maloof. As of now, none of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills cast members have received official pick-ups for next season yet, so there’s a lot up in the air. Filming begins in April, though, so they will know at least three weeks beforehand which of them should be expecting camera crews at their doorsteps. As for Armstrong, “producers are looking at other options … they feel like Taylor’s storyline has become too dark and they need to shake things up a bit.” Much of her involvement in the show has dealt with the fallout from her husband Russell Armstrong’s suicide in 2011 … and that’s dragged on for awhile. “They have been talking to quite a few new people,” the source adds, noting that at least five women have been approached, including Lancaster. “There are also discussions about Faye Resnick possibly coming onboard as a full time-member,” says the insider of the current recurring player. What do you think? Should Bravo axe Taylor Armstrong ?

Rihanna "Stay" Music Video: Released!

Rihanna is baring all in her new video for “Stay.” Soul, body … you name it. She’s baring it. One night after her Grammy performance transfixed the crowd, she’s officially released the music video for “Stay,” her latest single from Unapologetic . Here it is: Rihanna – Stay “Stay” is an emotional an duet with Louisiana crooner Mikky Ekko, who co-wrote the ballad, and the video features Rihanna nude in a bathtub. Standard. “The video was actually really, really simple,” Rihanna told Ryan Seacrest on the red carpet at the Grammys. “I pretty much stayed put in the bathtub.” Apparently. Also stripped-down? The arrangement of vocals and piano, which along with her stirring delivery, result in a haunting mood and a critically praised song. She’s won raves for both her live performances of it so far. We’re sure Chris Brown , Rihanna’s boyfriend and her date to the Grammys, is a big fan. Of the visuals above, but probably of the song too. What do you think of Rihanna’s “Stay”?   Love it! So powerful … so RAW! It’s decent, not her best. That sucked. View Poll »

Christopher Dorner Scuba Gear Purchase: Caught on Tape

It may not reveal the whereabouts of Christopher Dorner , but – as one law enforcement source says – we now know what the alleged killer “was up to” days before he went on a killing spree last week. TMZ has uncovered surveillance from a Southern California sporting goods store that shows the ex-LAPD officer purchasing an assortment of Scuba equipment . Christopher Dorner Surveilliance Video Taken on February 1, the video depicts Dorner paying for a couple Scuba tanks and refilling them with Oxygen. He’s also laughing with the cashier. Two days after this interaction, the bodies of Dorner’s first two victims were found in Los Angeles. A $1 million reward has now been offered by police for information that leads to the arrest of Dorner, who is on the loose and who left Facebook messages that threatened both his former colleagues and their families. He believes he was unfairly fired from the police department in 2008. U.S. Marshals now have a copy of this surveillance footage, which is of interest because Dorner reportedly tried to steal a boat on February 6. But the scheme was abandoned when his prop got tangled in a rope.
