Float Like A Butterfly, Sting Like A Bee Born Cassius Clay, Muhammed Ali, is said to be the most written about public figure in his lifetime. As the only Heavyweight champion to be crowned three times, Ali made a name for himself in and outside of the boxing ring. He was known for talking smack about his opponents and his strong opposition for the Vietnam War. He died a year ago today, after battling Parkinson’s Disease for over thirty years. “I think maybe Parkinson’s is God’s way of reminding me what is important. It slowed me down and caused me to listen rather than talk,” Ali explained. Gone, but certainly never forgotten, here are a couple of other famed quotes from The Greatest himself: “It isn’t the mountains ahead to climb that wear you out; it’s the pebble in your shoe.” “Don’t count the days, make the days count.” “I am the greatest, I said that even before I knew I was.” Rest In Peace Oh Great One!

Floyd Mayweather Agrees To MMA Fight With Conor McGregor Conor McGregor has been gunning for this for a minute, calling Floyd every kind of coward and punk in the book for refusing to fight him. Floyd has largely let the chatter brush off his shoulders…until now. Mayweather is finally breaking, saying that if MMA Champion Conor McGregor and his crew can throw enough zeroes on the situation, he’ll hop in the ring with the MMA champ and shut him up once and for all. Mayweather says he’ll come out of retirement SPECIFICALLY to whopp Conor’s azz and doesn’t want to hear any excuses from the UFC about it. Via TMZ : “…for Conor McGregor, I’m coming out of retirement … just to fight Conor McGregor.” I don’t want to hear no more excuses about the money, about the UFC. Sign the paper with the UFC so you can fight me in June. Simple and plain. Let’s fight in June. You’re the B side, I’m the A side.” Thing is…we aren’t sure if this is supposed to be a boxing match or an MMA battle. As much as each sport is similar, they’re also incredibly different, and we’d wager that one or both fighters could get hurt pretty badly if one or the other fights outside his known element. But, we’re no experts. Do you think Floyd could kickbox his way to a win with an MMA fighter? Could Connor straight up box himself to a title? Splash/Instagram
Virginia Mother Arrested For Overdosing On Heroin With Infant In Car People ain’t isht. Like, at ALL. According to a DailyMail report, a Virginia mother woman was arrested after she was found overdosed on heroin and unconscious in her car while her child cried and cried and cried. The mother, April Maxwell, has had many run-ins with the law that include: This is Maxwell’s fifth arrest since 2015. She has previously been picked up for public swearing/intoxication, petit larceny, contempt of court, and failure to appear in court for a misdemeanor offense. Two others were found in the car twisted off God-knows-what and were subsequently arrested. Maxwell was revived at a local hospital and charged with felony child neglect. Hope she enjoys her new home. Image via Roanoke Sheriff
Floyd Mayweather’s House Burglarized Money May is short a few fancy baubles today , as someone pushed their way into his Vegas mansion over the weekend and strolled out with hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of bags and watches. TMZ reports that the boxing legend’s home in an exclusive gated community in Las Vegas was burglarized. Law enforcement reports that someone forced the door to the home office in the back of the house open. Once inside, the thief (or thieves) stole several purses, likely belonging to one of Floyd’s many part-time girlfriends. There is also at least one very expensive watch unaccounted for, and more items may be missing. But since Floyd has so much random expensive stuff just strolled about his home, cops need him to go through and take a thorough inventory of his valuables to see what’s there and what’s not. Damn…Floyd doesn’t have a Brinks system or something on his house? How did these folks get into the gated community so easily? Mind you, all of this went down while Pretty Boy Floyd was partying it up in LA for his 40th . So it looks like SOMEbody was tracking his moves. Oh well. $150k is chump change to Floyd…and he is quick to tell you as such. So much luck to him with all that… Splash/WENN/AKM-GSI
Milo Yiannopoulos is a douchebag of the highest degree . Just a terrible, terrible person. After building a career on being reprehensible and bigoted and disgusting, it turns out that endorsing pedophilia was what ultimately crossed the line for his supporters . “In the homosexual world particularly,” Milo said in a recently resurfaced video, “some of those relationships between younger boys and older men — the sort of 'coming of age' relationships — those relationships in which those older men help those young boys discover who they are and give them security and safety and provide them with love and a reliable, sort of rock, where they can't speak to their parents.” In the same video, he also said “I'm grateful for Father Michael. I wouldn't give nearly such good head if it wasn't for him.” He's been seeing the fallout from those statement for the past few days, and now the backlash has gotten so bad that he's resigned from his position as senior editor at Breitbart. In his statement, he explained that “I would be wrong to allow my poor choice of words to detract from my colleagues' important reporting.” But whatever his reasoning, the point is that his career is falling apart. And Twitter could not be more excited. 1. Milo’s Statement Milo did a press conference to discuss his resignation, but here’s the gist of it. 2. “This Decision is Mine Alone” You keep telling yourself what you need to, Milo. 3. Get a Haircut Solid advice, really. 4. The Dream Hey, here’s hoping he fades away. Recent evidence proves we’re not that lucky though. 5. Not the White House! It is a current trend for the lowest of the low to get employed there, huh? 6. Sorry, Breitbart Still Sucks Milo’s not THAT powerful. View Slideshow
We first learned that Tori Spelling is broke over a year ago, and at first, the actress seemed to take actions that made sense for someone in dire financial circumstances. She downgraded her home, filed for bankruptcy, and took part in the proudest of washed-up starlet traditions by shilling for a psychic hotline . But it seems Tori was just going through the motions and pretending she knows what it means to be poor, because a lot of the stuff she did after that didn’t make a whole lot of sense – like getting pregnant with her fifth child . Don’t get us wrong – people shouldn’t be forced to forgo having children simply because their struggling financially. But maybe people who are 43, already have four kids, are constantly on the verge of divorce, and are struggling financially should hold off on the breeding for a while. Anyway, the decision has been made, and Tori and Dean McDermott’s family is about to expand by one. Which is something of a frightening thought, as they’re currently not even supporting their own kids. Okay, in fairness Tori and Dean are providing for the four kids that live with them – but not Dean’s teenage son from his first marriage. Page Six is reporting today that Dean’s ex, Mary Jo Eustace, is suing Dean for unpaid child support. Eustace was said to be “livid” when she learned that the couple recently partied at a $40,000 baby shower (hosted by Tori’s mother, Candy Spelling), despite the fact that Dean hasn’t paid child support in over a year. Now, it looks as though Dean’s deadbeat ways could have a criminal penalty. Sources say Eustace is hoping to have McDermott charged with contempt of court for failing to comply with the judge’s previous order. Needless to say, the McDermotts aren’t welcoming baby number five into the most stable of environments. Insiders say the renewed interest in her personal life has given Tori hope for a career revival. Someone should probably tell that that interest will peter out within about an hour of when she posts the baby’s first photo on Instagram. View Slideshow: 13 Celebrity Pregnancies NO ONE Saw Coming
We hope you’re sitting down, Sister Wives viewers. Because Life & Style claims that an absolute “Shocker” is about to… well… absolutely shock you. According to this tabloid’s latest cover story, Robyn Brown has finally had it with Kody Brown and will soon be filing for divorce from the Sister Wives patriarch. But is this really as stunning of an announcement as the magazine wants us to believe? For starters, we watch Sister Wives online and even on television live when it airs sometimes. We’ve all seen the TLC tension mounting. Moreover, chatter over a Robyn and Kody split amid turmoil within the Sister Wives brood has been active for several weeks, if not months. In late December, Radar Online wrote that Robyn had finally grown sick and tired of her role both on both the TLC reality series and in her marriage. Therefore, that online source said, she decided to bail. An anonymous source told the website back then: “She is leaving the first week in January to go back to Utah with the kids and be with her family to figure out the next step in her life,” Except… the last time we checked, the first week of January had come and gone and Robyn remains part of the Sister Wive family. Kody was also well aware of this divorce talk, Tweeting in response to allegations of his impending separation from Robyn two months ago : “Not true! [Robyn] and I just went to dinner and shopping.” That’s not the strongest denial we’ve ever heard of trouble at home, but it is true that Kody is still married to all four of his wives. One does need to wonder, however, why tabloid cover stories of this nature continue to appear if there’s legitimately nothing behind the divorce rumors. In this case, an insider claims Kody has melted down over his issue with Robyn, relying on a lot of “booze” and suffering “panic attacks” in the wake of many “fights.” There’s even a “24-year old who tore” Robyn and Kody apart. Allegedly. Does a “best friend” really “tell all” about the “house of horrors” in which the Browns reside? We’re not about to pay actual money for this tabloid in order to find out. Back in November, meanwhile, various magazines claimed that Meri and Kody were the ones on the verge of a split. Those two have seemingly been at odds ever since the very first season of Sister Wives, with Meri unhappy that Kody wanted to exchange vows with other women. It didn’t help that Meri battled with fertility problems over the years and then it really didn’t help when Meri fell for a catfishing scheme . “I’m working very hard not to be hopeless,” Kody said at one point during Season 11 of his relationship with Meri. As for the other wives and their role in all this? Really, it’s impossible to say at this point. As we’ve tried to document via the above photos of one tabloid cover after another, there is clearly tension within this household. Which shouldn’t exactly come as a surprise when you’re talking about numerous wives and cameramen being around at all times. The only question now is who will blink first, Kody or Robyn? Who will actually sign those divorce papers, or beg for another shot? And, of course, once that happens, who will therefore get her own spinoff, which is what it’s all about, right Tarek and Christina ?
Chris Brown allegedly bailed on his fight with Soulja Boy on the same day has he was accused of trying to fight ex-girlfriend Karrueche Tran. Naturally, the rapper claimed victory – and delivered some epic verbal shots at his troubled, R&B singer rival – on Instagram Tuesday. Soulja Boy Taunts Chris Brown For Bailing on Fight “This shit ain’t funny but it is,” he said. “Dis nigga wanted to fight me over this girl and she just put a restraining order on this nigga. He can’t be a 100 feet of this girl.” While his friend laughed off-camera, and while smoking a joint because obviously, Soulja Boy noted that CB started their beef. Chris originally flipped out and wanted a boxing match because Soulja Boy liked Karrueche Tran pics on Instagram last month. Until yesterday, when the dude flaked. According to SB, CB informed him via an intermediary that he’s not signing a contract and the pay per view fight with Brown is off. “Chris take this L. Everybody suck my dick. I’m out,” the “Crank Dat” rapper said, with trademark eloquence, in his victory post. Chris Brown, Soulja Boy Threaten Each Other on Video It made no sense from the start, the idea of Chris Brown and Soulja Boy settling their online beef with a pay per view boxing match. Still, the idea that should have been DOA gained legs thanks to 50 Cent, Mike Tyson and Floyd Mayweather getting involved. Chris alluded to this fact in his lame excuse, er, explanation for bailing on the fight a month later, taking to Instagram to note: “All the wrong people got in the way. The middleman people got in the way. The homies, so to speak, got in the way.” “Because they want to get a piece of the pie. It’s immature, first of all, first and foremost. Second of all, ain’t no n***a ever hold me up.” As such, Chris is out, and Soulja Boy is the default winner. Why would Brown eat the loss like this? Well, he loses regardless. Might as well put it to bed ASAP. Think about it: Chris Brown to Soulja Boy: Leave Royalty Out of This! BET astutely notes that by merely being involved, Soulja Boy would be relevant again, mentioned in the same huge stories as Chris. If the fight actually happened and Chris got knocked out, the ensuing GIF would become the most shared thing in the history of ever. Even if Soulja Boy lost, he could allege that Chris cheated, the referee was biased, etc., and still milk a whole lot of publicity from this. After all, when it comes to celebrity boxing matches, it’s typically two “stars” on the brink of irrelevancy teaming up for a modest check. Think Todd Bridges vs. Vanilla Ice, or Migos vs. Sean Kingston . Basically a D-list gimmick event. (Sorry, too soon re: the latter?) Soulja Boy, who has instigated online feuds with Bow Wow, Ice-T, Charles Hamilton, Chief Keef and more, certainly knows this. In baiting Chris, executed a brilliant strategy. Chris Brown Admits He’s a Stalker in Terrifying Instagram Confession Lest we forget, Soulja Boy would engage the “ Cash Me Ousside ” girl if he thought it would get him free publicity (he actually did that). Knowing that Chris Brown is a stalker, as he admits in the above clip, which led Karrueche to get a restraining order , he played him. Egging him on after Chris overreacted to middle school s–t on social media, then asking for a fight and escalating it, he’d win by default. Brown and his temper never stood a chance. Saying he doesn’t make the best choices is the understatement of all time, but going along with boxing match like this was real dumb. Not as dumb as an actual fight with his ex-girlfriend, which he’s accused of trying to have as well … but dumb by normal person standards. View Slideshow: 31 Craziest Celebrity Fights of ALL TIME
