Not At All Baller: LaVar Ball Accused Of Pilfering $2.5M From Family Companies

Here is the original post:

Source: WENN.com / WENN LaVar Ball and his overbearing presence in directing the basketball careers of his three sons cast a shadow on their potential trajectory, although he managed to craft business deals with them in mind. Now, a former business partner is excusing the Ball family patriarch of embezzling funds from the family’s various business holdings. The Blast shares in a new report that Ball’s former business associate, Alan Foster, filed suit and alleged that the father of Lonzo, LiMelo, and LiAngelo Ball has been pilfering funds from the business to fund his own personal needs. Foster was a partner in the Big Baller Brand athletic brand, and the Ball Sports Group, a sports and entertainment company. From The Blast : According to Foster, “In early 2016, in furtherance of LaVar’s intense desire to share in, or rise above, the glory and spotlight of his sons, LaVar approached Alan and asked for his business guidance on how to monopolize and gain fortune and fame from the names and likenesses of his three sons. In response, Alan suggested that the two men brand the “Ball” family name in order to create basketball and entertainment-related businesses. LaVar loved Alan’s idea and wanted to make sure that he was the biggest star in the family, notwithstanding the fact that he was broke, had no savings, poor credit and zero business acumen.” “LaVar is a liar who fraudulently utilized BBB and BSG to fund his personal lifestyle,” the docs state. Lonzo Ball filed a suit against Foster, alleging that it was him that took money away from the Ball business for his own personal gains. — Photo: WENN

Kate Gosselin: Haters Want to DESTROY My Beautiful Family!!

Hannah Gosselin’s eldest, twins Mady and Cara, have left for college and are breathing free air for the first times in their lives. While Kate tries to elicit sympathy by mourning Hannah’s absence from family trips, she has another bone to pick. Kate says that the world has been so unfair to her family. Girl, go look in a mirror. Kate Gosselin took to Instagram to share a photo of her eldest daughters. “I love these kids fiercely,” Kate writes, referring specifically to Mady and Cara. “And,” she adds. “I don’t apologize for my tears.” “Times have been so tough,” Kate complains. “And,” she notes. “So needlessly unfair for them.” Awwww, they’re all grown up! Well, you know, they’re adults. “Grown up” seems to start around 30 and it is not as fun as it sounds. “Despite it all,” Kate continues. “They’ve turned out to be such wonderful amazing human beings.” “I cannot wait to see what lies ahead for each of them,” she expresses. Kate looks forward to seeing their progress “once they get away from those who have tried to destroy them versus protect them!” Naturally, she also plugs her show, Kate Plus 8 . Back in May, Mady opened up about how much she and Cara are looking forward to college. “College feels like a place to blend in,” Mady expressed. She continued: “and I feel like we haven’t really had much of a chance to really blend in.” “And,” she stated. “I want to be just like somebody.” You know that you’ve had quite the childhood when your firmest wish for your university experience is anonymity . “I don’t want to know everybody’s name,” Mady continued. She added: “and I don’t want to know everybody’s business.” “And I don’t want everyone to know my name and my business,” Mady emphasized. She’s not quite saying that she doesn’t want to make any friends. It sounds more like she wants to blend into the crowd. “I feel like big college is the way we want to go,” she concluded. “She was not able to come and that’s sad,” Kate said in a recent clip to explain why Hannah was not joining a “family” trip. Kate accused: “That’s the second trip here actually for us that she hasn’t been with us.” “It was sad for us because you know, they’re getting older and they’re making different choices and they’re doing different things,” she said. Kate continued: “And she opted to stay back with her dad, which again, you know, her choice.” “It’s not optimal for mom,” she admitted. “But it’s something that I support and you know, we just adjust and move on.” So what does Kate mean when she says that her two eldest daughters have faced so much unfairness? Does she mean that it’s unfair to be thrust into reality stardom as a child because your parents are thirsty for fame? Does she mean that no child deserves to grow up in an abusive household ? Or does Kate mean that two children would have been enough, and she robbed her eldest twins of any hope of a normal life by having six more? All of these are great point. But because Kate is the culprit in each case, we strongly doubt that this is her meaning. We wish Mady and Cara the very best at their (undisclosed) universities! We’re sure that they have a long road to recovering from having Kate as a mom. View Slideshow: Jon Gosselin: TLC Was Gonna Pay Me $1 Million to Stay Married to Kate!

Looking For Reveeeenge: Kylie Hung Out With Tyga After Breaking Up With Travis Scott And Sparked Twitter Hysteria

Source: Monica Schipper / Getty Kylie Jenner Hung Out With Tyga Well well well what do we have here? It appears as though the Travis and Kylie breakup has quickly gone from cordial split and a need for space to some real vindictive ish going on. That’s because E! News is reporting that Kylie quickly turned her new single hood into a late-night rendezvous with ex-overaged lover Tyga: A source tells E! News that the former couple met up late Tuesday night, after Kylie and her friends, Stassie and Kelsey, enjoyed a late night bite at the Hollywood hot spot Delilah. “Kylie wanted to have a girls’ night out last night and Stassie thought it would be best to get her out of the house and her mind off the news,” a source explains. “He was with a few of their mutual friends at Sunset Marquis and invited Kylie and her girlfriends to come hangout, since they were already out.” The insider does add that Kylie and Tyga “have been in touch” since their split in 2017, but says they “don’t talk often.” This is getting quite petty and Twitter had ALL the comedy. Take a look… Kylie couldn't wait 2 seconnds to go back to tyga lmfao. Travis scott needs to learn, you'll lose her the same way you found her — Alina (@alinathequeenx) October 3, 2019

Tekashi69 Refuses to Enter Witness Protection, Sells Movie Rights to 50 Cent

Throughout the bizarre ordeal of his never-ending legal troubles, it’s been widely assumed that Tekashi69 plans to enter witness protection the moment he’s released from prison. After all, Tekashi’s freedom comes at a steep price, as his sentence is likely to be dramatically reduced as a result of his decision to testify against members of the Nine Trey Bloods gang , of which he was formerly a member. You don’t need to be studied up on the Nine Treys’ bylaws to know that snitching is not something they look kindly on. For weeks, Twitter has delighted in memes about Tekashi — whose real name is Daniel Hernandez — covering his facial tattoos in concealer and disappearing in rural Arkansas. But shockingly, it seems the rapper has no intention of attempting a disappearing act. In fact, it looks as though Mr. 69 is planning to resume his life in the spotlight as soon as he’s sprung from federal prison. According to a new report from TMZ, “Tekashi believes him testifying against his old crew will be forgotten almost instantly as soon as he’s released from prison — and he also thinks he’ll be more popular than ever with the masses.” Yes, in what may well turn out to be a fatally bad idea, Tekashi is not just refusing to hide from his former gangmates, he’s openly taunting them. “He thinks that anyone in the rap game who’s spoken ill of him since this whole legal ordeal began are not only envious, but threatened by him … afraid that he’ll pass ’em up and leave ’em in the dust when he gets out and starts making hits again,” TMZ reports. Mind you, this is the same gang that already kidnapped Tekashi and threatened to kill him once. And that was before he took the stand against them. In exchange for a much lighter sentence (at one point, it looked like he might remain behind bars for the rest of his life) Hernandez provided two days testified in the trial of Aljermiah “Nuke” Mack and Anthony “Harv” Ellison last month. Not only did he identify Mack and Ellison as members of the Nine Treys, Tekashi also claimed that rapper Cardi B was a member of the gang . Sounds like the makings of a Hollywood movie, right? Well, apparently that’s what 50 Cent thought, too. According to the latest from TMZ, 50 has purchased the rights to 69’s story with plans to turn it into a feature film. So we guess that’s good news for Tekashi. We just wish he weren’t in such a hurry to write an ending to his life story.

Mackenzie McKee Files for Divorce, Is Feeling Stressed About It

Mackenzie McKee has made it official. No, she will not be getting back together with her husband of six years. Because, yes , she has filed for divorce from Josh, the father of her three children. The reality TV star announced the news herself on Monday, jumping on Instagram with a photo of her dogs — and telling one fan in the Comments section that her weight loss was due to “divorce stress.” As far as we know, this is the first time Mackenzie has dropped the “D” word in regard to her and Josh. When the Teen Mom star confirmed that her marriage was in trouble about two months ago, she simply said she and Josh were separating . “I would like to say, that due to stress, me needing to stay focused, the media, etc. I am deciding my marriage needs a break,” Mackenzie Tweeted on Friday, August 16, adding in this message: “My heart breaks for my kids. But as of right now, this is what’s best. Thank you.” The couple got married in August of 2013 and share three kids — Gannon, 7, Jamie, 5, and Broncs, 3. But they’ve been experiencing some difficult times for awhile, as highlighted this summer on the season premiere of Teen Mom OG. The episode focused on rumors that Josh had cheated on Mackenzie while out on the road for a rodeo. He denied this allegation, but Mackenzie later watched the development play out on air and referred to Josh as a horrible person after actually watching his actions on MTV. “Turns out, Josh is not a good man whatsoever,” the Teen Mom OG told Us Weekly in late August. “Watching the show and catching him in lies, seeing how independent he is, I realize I deserve better.” Mackenzie went on to slam Josh to this tabloid as follows: “I have fought for this marriage for many years, and lately, I’ve really opened my eyes to what a horrible person he is.” It doesn’t get much more straightforward than that — except that McKee has sort of backed off these comments in the days since. She has told fans that she and Josh actually still live together, adding: “Me and Josh do love one another, that will never change. God will guide me where I belong and I’m trusting in him right now and focusing on being there for my mom.” Are they actually getting along these days? It does sound that way. “Me and Josh are friends and are on good terms,” she said in an interview The Ashley’s Reality Roundup. “I’m still taking this time for myself. I’m doing counseling, just so an outside eye looking in can give me guidance. I just had so much piling up all at once, I just need time and structure.” The MTV personality has since confessed that she and Josh are both cheaters — so, hey, at least they have that in common! In all seriousness, though, we do wish Mackenzie and Josh the best moving forward. View Slideshow: Mackenzie McKee: I’m SOOO Done with My Husband … Probably!

Nike Files Lawsuit Against Skechers For Biting Their Designs

Source: Nike / NIke While Nike and adidas continue to rule the sneaker culture with the kind of dominance you’d see in the NBA when super-teams form. Other brands have been forced to do everything they can to keep up such as signing celebrity endorsers to…stealing designs and silhouettes? According to Hypebeast , Nike is accusing Skechers of all companies of stealing their Air Max 270 and VaporMax designs, and truth be told it kinda looks like they might be on to something. In the lawsuit Nike claims that Skechers created “Skecherized versions” of its Air Max 270 and VaporMax’s specifically pointing to Skechers’ Skech-Air Atlas, Skech-Air 92, Skech-Air Stratus and Skech-Air Blast models as “infringers” of its popular silhouettes which features patented Air bag soles that helped take Nike to the next level since the 80’s.

This isn’t the first time Nike has sued Skechers after claiming the brand also bit their Free and Flyknit designs. Those lawsuits are still pending in court.  Just by the eye test it looks like an open and shut case but who knows what evidence or opinions will be introduced into the case that can help or hurt Skechers’ latest designs.

Notorious Flat-Earther B.o.B Goes Off After Internet Hoax Claims He Died

Read this article:

Source: Prince Williams / Getty B.o.B a name we haven’t heard around these parts at least musically was the latest victim on an internet hoax, and he was not too pleased about it. The “Beautiful Girls” crafter went on an expletive-laced rant on Instagram after he “died” in an internet death hoax. The rapper, born Bobby Ray Simmons called out anyone who showed some  concern and was upset by his “passing.” The rumor of his death began over the weekend when a “R.I.P B.o.B.” Facebook page came out of nowhere. The hoax page garnered plenty of attention quickly receiving nearly one million likes. The page falsely stated: “At about 11 a.m. ET on Sunday (September 29, 2019), our beloved rapper B.o.B passed away,” the post read. “B.o.B was born on November 15, 1988, in Winston-Salem. He will be missed but not forgotten. Please show your sympathy and condolences by commenting on and liking this page.” Reps for the flat-earther reportedly quickly put out a statement denying the rumors of his death. “He joins the long list of celebrities who have been victimized by this hoax,” the statement read. “He’s still alive and well, stop believing what you see on the internet.” B.o.B took thinks a bit further. “You fuckin’ niggas, I fuckin’ hate you fuckin’ niggas!” he begins. “You niggas ain’t support me worth a shit while I was fuckin’ livin. And now that I’m fuckin’ dead, you wanna talk about, ‘Oh, I love B.o.B. I love his music. I love all his shit?’ Fuck you! Fuck you, you fuckin’ bitch! You ain’t support shit! And you don’t give a fuck about me, and you don’t fuckin’ know me. “Muthafucka. Suck my fuckin’ dick you fuckin’ bitch. You don’t care about none of this shit I fuckin’ said, none of the shit I fuckin’ did and put my fuckin’ neck on the line for you ungrateful ass fuckin’ coons. Ungrateful coons! You don’t give a fuck about nothing. Fuck you! Don’t act like I was your friend.” We definitely understand being upset about killed even though you’re still alive, but why lash out at those who genuinely cared that you “died.” You can watch B.o.B lose his sh*t below.
