Congrats! Lebron James Signs Unprecedented Lifetime Deal With Nike

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. Nice! Make some space in your closet for more Lebrons… Instagram

Seriously? Donald Trump Calls To “Totally And Completely” Ban Muslims From The USA

Donald Trump Calls To Ban Muslims From Entering US Has Donald Trump finally made a statement that not even his most rabid supporters would get behind? Donald made it clear that he firmly stands for discrimination based on country of origin , and now based on religious grounds, stating that the US needs to shut down immigration to all Muslims entering the US, whether for long-term immigration or short-term tourism — including Americans of Islamic faith who currently happen to be out of the country and are looking to return home. Via MailOnline : Donald Trump today called for ‘a total and complete shutdown’ of Muslim immigration into America. In a dramatic intervention in the wake of the San Bernardino massacre, the Republican frontrunner claimed the country was at risk of ‘horrendous attacks by people that believe only in jihad’. Citing one poll that found that 25 percent of Muslims ‘agreed that violence against Americans here in the United States is justified as a part of the global Jihad,’ Trump said hatred by Muslims toward Americans ‘is beyond comprehension.’ Immigration needed to be halted ‘until our country’s representatives can figure out what is going on,’ the campaign wrote. Trump, and many of his GOP rivals, had already called on the Obama Administration to halt bringing in 10,000 Syrian refugees during the aftermath of the Nov. 13 ISIS attacks in Paris. At the time, Trump said he would prefer to just take in Christian refugees. And as for the millions of practicing Muslims already living here… Trump has also talked about increasing surveillance of mosques and creating a database for Muslims [already] living in the country. This new statement is taking it a step further, suggesting that all Muslims be banned from entering the United States. When asked to articulate who would be included in this plan – Muslim immigrants or American Muslims who are currently abroad – Trump spokeswoman Hope Hicks told The Hill: ‘Mr. Trump says, “everyone.”‘ Tourists and those seeking immigration visas would also be told no. Hmmm… first no Mexicans…now no Muslims. Donald sure is working his way through the spectrum of brown people. We suspect it’s only a matter of time before he trickles on over to his master plan for Black folks… Funny how we haven’t heard his plan for all the radial “Christian” white men that attack this nation with domestic terror at frightening rates. Either way, even other Republicans are saying this idea is bigoted at best, and dumb as all hell at worst. Does this mean we are FINALLY finished with Donald the Clown??

Anna Duggar: Turning to Reality TV to Save Up Money and Divorce Josh Duggar?!

Is Anna Duggar scrambling to bank some quick cash before Josh Duggar gets out of rehab so she can beat a long-overdue retreat from the cult? That’s the subject of a new post on The Stir , which comes on the heels of previous reports that Anna Duggar will file for divorce in the near future. The website cites Anna’s upcoming appearances on TLC’s 19 Kids & Counting spinoff, Jill and Jessa: Counting On , as proof of her big plan. Jill and Jessa’s new show, which is actually a series of three specials, will focus on the married Duggar daughters and what they’re up to lately. It will clearly delve into Josh Duggar and how he left the family in shambles, and some fans were surprised to see that Anna’s playing a part. In a span of just a few months, an exposed police report exposed him as having molested four of his sisters plus a babysitter as a young teenager. Then, he was outed as a cheater in the Ashley Madison hack, and even sued by Danica Dillon for giving the stripper/porn star rough sex PTSD. Yes, the conservative Christian clan’s empire crumbled faster and harder than anyone could’ve imagined, but wife Anna suffered most of all. Previews for Counting On make a big deal out of the fact that Anna breaks her silence on Josh , but it sounds like her motivation is not ratings. View Slideshow: 13 Reasons Why Anna Duggar Should Leave Josh NOW Anna’s trying to bank enough money to divorce her dirtbag spouse, according to insiders, and reality TV offers the quickest, easiest cash around. According to insiders, he is begging Anna to stay with him when he leaves his Christian labor camp/sex addiction rehab center home in Illinois. Family patriarch Jim Bob Duggar even bought the couple a house and Josh is pushing for a recommitment ceremony. They are lobbying hard. Yet Anna isn’t so sure, and sources close to the mom of four say she’s considering the divorce option closely, bringing us back to Counting On . The 28-year-old reportedly ” agreed to be filmed for financial reasons only,” and “her ultimate goal is to save up enough to make it on her own.” Wow. Is it possible this is all conjecture, and she did it not just for the money but to tell her side of the story, and support her nice sisters-in-law? Of course. The extra cash is nice whether she stays married or not, and Jill and Jessa never did anything to her. In fact, they’re said to be close. Still, you have to wonder if perhaps, just maybe, poor Anna has seen the light and taken the first step toward making a seriously bold-ass move.

Top 10 Star Wars Gifts for Black Friday of the Day

Halloween is over, so it’s almost Christmas, am I allowed to say that it’s Christmas, in this era of distress, where Starbucks gets slandered by the non-Christians who feel oppressed by the Christian world they live in and shouldn’t be exposed to….

Jim Bob Duggar: Encouraging Josh with New Blog Post?

Jim Bob Duggar has a message for all his fellow fathers out there, though said message may be targeted toward one struggling dad in particular. Is he sending a thinly-veiled message to Josh Duggar, his first-born son who is currently toiling away in a Christian sex rehab labor camp? No one knows with certainty. But when the patriarch pens an open letter on the family website, urging dads to become the “coach of your home”? It sure as crap reads like that’s his intended audience. Jim Bob begins by encouraging fathers to be “spiritual leaders” by sharing a very personal story of the time his wife, Michelle, suffered a miscarriage. Going through that while she was on birth control, he says, shaped their views on children (and clearly, they take those views seriously). “We had been rejecting His gifts,” Jim Bob wrote . “We prayed and asked God to forgive us and we gave Him this area of our lives.” “We said, ‘Lord, help us to love children the way that you love children,’ and Lord, we want to receive each one as a gift from you.'” Jim Bob says that in order to be a leader, it’s urgent that fathers ask forgiveness from Jesus, their significant other and children. He also suggested that dads remove all “books, magazines, television or Internet that have worldly or sensual content” from the home. View Slideshow: 11 Things BANNED in the Duggar Family To protect one’s family, this is crucial, he advises: “Replace them with good things, [such as] wholesome music, biographies of great Christians, good old-fashioned family fun and games.” This open letter comes just days after we learned that some members of the Duggar family have visiting and encouraging Josh in rehab . It’s not the first time we’ve heard the Duggars hate on worldly or sensual content , nor is it at all surprising that they would do just that. The timing is curious, though, amid conflicting reports regarding the state of Josh’s fractured marriage to the long-suffering Anna Duggar. Having admitted an online porn addiction and being “unfaithful” to Anna earlier this summer, Josh has been on thin ice to say the least. Still, he’s not giving up with out a fight, and some sources say he’s pushing Anna to have another baby to help save the marriage (really). Anna Duggar: Heartbroken Over Josh in New Special On the flip side, others speculate that Anna is finally leaving Josh after porn star Danica Dillon sued him for giving her rough-sex-induced PTSD. Meanwhile, Anna is breaking her silence. “It was heartbreaking to hear, what had happened,” an emotional Anna, 27, said in a promo for TLC’s Jill and Jessa: Counting On released Friday. At this point, it remains unclear exactly what Anna is planning, and even where Josh is. Rumors suggest he may have bailed on rehab months early. A plane carrying Jim Bob and two of his sons was spotted Friday at an airport in Rockford, Ill., near the facility where Josh is (or was) being treated. Insiders say the plane was on the ground for several hours, before taking back off to Springdale, Arkansas, where the Duggar family resides. The plot thickens.

Poor Thang: Meagan Good Says She Cried Because Hollyweird Refused To Take Her Seriously As An Actress

Meagan Good Says People Didn’t Take Her Seriously As An Actress Meagan Good was once on of the baddest vixen in the game but the ‘Minority Report’ actress now says she had to fight for Hollywood to give her a chance to break out of her sex-kitten typecast. According to LA Sentinel Meagan is now proud to be in a better place in her career… “I cried. It meant so much to me to be acknowledged by someone like Viola who I have so much respect for. We all face challenges in this business especially as black women. It’s been a really long crawl for me to transition from being a child actress to an adult actress; in addition to being in that sex kitten role in my early 20s and fighting to be taken more seriously. It’s been a really long journey and to hear her say my name really blessed me. To listen to her journey and to know what she’s gone through to be acknowledged for the great actress that she is…it’s all of our struggles to get out of the box that people always try to put us in. “It’s an incredible time for women and minorities in TV and film. There’s been a massive shift that we’ve all been patiently waiting for. I’m a big believer in not complaining about the things that are wrong. Instead I place my energy into being on the front line of change, having a positive attitude and fighting to see things shift. To be in Hollywood right now and have these opportunities as the shift is coming is incredible.” Meagan says she is now a committed Christian and looks for the Lord for guidance everyday… I pray and read my bible every single day, I stay close to God because He’s what matters the most; everything else is secondary. My career can never give me what God can give me. When Deception initially came to me, I was afraid to do TV because it’s a huge time commitment and you’ll potentially be playing the same character for several years. And for at least six months of the year you’re away from your family in a different state or even a different country. I had all of these stipulations about what the situation had to be in order for me to do television. When the opportunity for me to star in Deception presented itself, it was everything I said it had to be, so I knew it was God. When it ended, I was very thankful because it created so many other opportunities for me in the process. Deception opened the door for Minority Report as well as my role in Anchor Man 2: The Legend Continues. God wanted me to have those different roles to be able to build a platform where I could be more effective as a Christian. Discuss.

Fair Or Foul? Christian Daycare Workers Fired After Refusing To Call Transgender 6-Year-Old By A Boy’s Name

Daycare Workers Fired For Refusing Transgender Child’s Name Two daycare workers are suing on the basis of discrimination, alleging that they were fired due to their Christian faith after refusing to recognize a transgender child’s new identity. Via MailOnline : Two Christian childcare workers who were fired after refusing to call a transgender six year old by a boy’s name are suing the center for discrimination. Madeline Kirksey and Akesha Bogany Wyatt were sacked from the Children’s Lighthouse Learning Center in Katy, Texas, a week ago after the pupil, who had attended school for four months as a girl, began identifying as a boy. According to Adam Taylor, Kirksey’s lawyer, the child’s parents – both of whom are male – took their daughter home on a Friday, and sent her back to school the following Monday as a boy. Taylor says the child’s hair had been cut into a masculine style, and the formerly female student had been given a more classically masculine name. However, Kirksey and Wyatt refused to go along with the name change, and said they felt uncomfortable speaking to other young children about transgender issues. Kirksey also apparently feels that the child’s gay parents are pushing their daughter into being transgender: Kirksey added that she feels the male parents of the student are forcing the issue of gender on to their child, which she disagrees with. Taylor said: ‘Madeline’s rights have been violated. Literally she was sacrificed on the alter of political correctness. “It is not just Madeline and it is not just this school that we are concerned about. We need to send a strong message that Christians need to push back on this agenda.” We understand people holding on to their own set of beliefs…but is it really this teacher’s place to grandstand on this child’s struggle? On the other hand, it doesn’t seem necessary to fire her for being uncooperative…surely the child could have been moved to another class. FoxNews

Kel Mitchell Reveals He Was Suicidal After Childhood Fame: “I Understood Britney Spears’ Breakdown”

Kel Mitchell Reveals Being Suicidal In The Past Kel Mitchell seemed to fade into the background after the success of Kenan & Kel and Good Burger in the late 90’s. Now the former child star is opening up about his battle with depression and suicidal thoughts after losing his career and his wife in the span of a few short years in the latest issue of People Magazine : In 2004, his hit sitcom Kenan & Kel had been canceled, film work was scarce and his six-year marriage to Tyisha Hampton was ending. “As a young actor, there are ups and there are downs. And when you get to that down part, there are times you feel like no one can relate to you. When Britney Spears shaved her head, I understood that.” “I felt like I’d hit a wall,” the former teen star, now 37, says in the current issue of PEOPLE. “I was like, ‘Okay. I need to figure out what I need to do in my life.’ ” Mitchell now calls that time in his life a “confusion moment,” but he has admitted on his blog that he was “suicidal” and “deep in sin” while dealing with his “divorce, drug and alcohol usage … the lost of love ones to gang violence, debt, hurt, pain, vanity, lust [and] heartbreak.” But rather than let the darkness he was experiencing overtake him and send him further down a tragic path, Kel turned to his faith in Jesus and turned his life around: “I was trying to figure it all out on my own. But what I needed to do was turn to Him,” says the actor, who became the stage manager at a non-denominational Christian church in Los Angeles. “Once I found that clarity with Christ, I knew everything would work out.” Now, the actor says he has found “peace” thanks to his relationships with God, his son Lyric, 16, daughter Allure, 14, and his new wife Asia Lee, a designer and rapper whom he wed three years ago. “I enjoy living this life,” says Mitchell, who currently stars on the new Nickelodeon sitcom Game Shakers (Saturdays at 8:30 p.m. ET) and tours doing stand-up and motivational speaking. “I don’t let things frustrate or worry me anymore. I don’t do that because I have peace in my heart. I have God.” Good for him! So often you hear stories like this turn out tragically, but thankfully Kel was able to find God –and himself — before it was too late. SplashNews
