The former NBA baller was ordered to pay his ex-wife Brandi Garnett $100,000 a month to cover both child and spousal support. The order is only in effect until they work out a permanent deal. Brandi was reportedly seeking 46,000 a month in child support, estimating that she will have the kids 95% of the time. She was also asking for another $146,000 in spousal support and then another $300,000 to cover her legal fees. However, in the new ruling, Brandi got the $300,000 she was asking for and an additional $225,000. Brandi filed for divorce earlier this year. She is seeking physical custody of the former couple’s two kids.
Source: Hirurg / Getty Police Officer Admits to Using Grieving Family’s Cable Account to Purchase Porn According to CNN , a London police officer serving with London’s Metropolitan Police Service admitted to buying porn at the home of a grieving family. The family, who had been coping with the death of their child , was waiting on the undertaker to arrive when Avi Maharaj bought access to porn channels. Maharaj admitted to purchasing the movies, spending £25.96 (roughly $32). He was investigated after the grieving family filed a complaint with the Metropolitan Police Service. He was the only person at the property at the time of the purchases, and to cover his actions he falsified his attendance log. “PC Maharaj’s behaviour was shocking and even more so given he was guarding the property in the absence of the homeowner…Not only were his actions deceitful but he caused considerable distress for the family involved who were dealing with the sudden death of a family member,” s aid the Independent Police Complaints Commission’s regional director Sal Naseem in a statement. Haharaj will be sentenced for fraud in August and will also face charges of gross misconduct.
As you may have heard, Megyn Kelly did not have a great week last week. Her peppy, mostly apolitical morning show, Megyn Kelly Today , premiered to less than rave reviews and featured more than a few awkward moments. Thus far, the show has served to strengthen the argument that NBC made a costly mistake in courting the former Fox News anchor. Reports that execs are desperate to fire Kelly have been circulating for months, but new revelations about just how much the network is paying the 46-year-old lead us to believe they’ll likely ride it out in hopes of seeing some return on their investment. According to a new report from Radar Online, NBC has agreed to pay Kelly an astonishing $69 million over the next three years. Yes, that awkward morning show that’s become Twitter’s favorite punchline is earning Kelly $23 million a year. For reference, NBC pays Jimmy Fallon just over $15 million annually. Matt Lauer is paid more than Megyn, with a salary of $25 million, but he’s been with the network for 23 years! “How on earth can they justify paying her $69m for three years?” said one irate insider in an interview with Radar. “The network that created Barbara Walters, Tom Brokaw and Matt Lauer will now forever be remembered for the $69m hire of Megyn Kelly,” opined another. What’s truly baffling about the staggering sum Kelly is being paid is that NBC had to know her contract amounted to a tremendous gamble on their part. Though more moderate than some of her colleagues, Kelly still made a name for herself as a rightwing firebrand at Fox News. NBC shelled out for a kinder, gentler Kelly, which baffled many within the industry. Why pay her so much to not do what she’s best known for? It’s the journalistic equivalent of signing Tom Brady for eight figures and having him play wide receiver. On top of the confusing attempt at rebranding, the network assumed the risk that left-leaning viewers would reject Kelly as a result of the controversial views she espoused in the past. And indeed, to seems to be what’s taking place. Numbers for Kelly’s second week aren’t in yet, but her ratings declined steadily during her first week on the air. Of course, that could have less to do with the fact that she once argued Santa Claus is white in an unhinged on-air tirade, and more to do with the fact that her show is simply not good.

Cars 3 is coming to a theater near you … with a twist. A grim, dark twist very unexpected for the franchise. The trailer portrays the main character of the series, cocky but affable race car Lightning McQueen, spinning out in the middle of a race. A slow-motion shot of McQueen busting into a cloud of wreckage, follows, and just before he hits ground, an ominous new tagline appears: “From this moment, everything will change.” One of Disney and Pixar's most commercially successful franchises, Cars is as merchandise-friendly and light-hearted as they come. What it is not, though, is … particularly deep. Whereas some Pixar films are known for emotionally complex and moving storylines, as well as their animation, Cars isn't among them. Perhaps with Disney's first look at Cars 3 – a sequel to Cars (2006) and Cars 2 (2011) – we are seeing hints that this may soon change. The original film featured brash Lightning stuck in the small town of Radiator Springs where he learned humbling lessons in life and love. The first sequel centered more on dim-witted but lovable Mater the Tow Truck being mistaken for an international super spy. Obviously. Owen Wilson will reprise his leading voice role as McQueen in the three-quel, while Larry the Cable Guy is on board as Mater again. Check out the Cars 3 teaser and join us in wondering: Might Lightning McQueen be a goner?!?
