Source: Cindy Ord / Getty Deion Sanders is currently in a legal tussle with some moving companies he claims damaged some priceless items along with losing a whole grand piano. The Blast reports : According to court documents obtained by The Blast, Sanders filed a lawsuit against North Texas Movers, Officer Interiors Group and Bekins A-1 Movers. Sanders says he hired Bekins A-1 Movers to move his valuable contents — including priceless heirlooms and collectible items of both “significant intrinsic, personal value to Mr. Sanders” worth in excess of $1 million — from his Texas mansion to storage. Sanders says he paid them handsomely to keep his “irreplaceable pieces” safe. He says in November 2018, he learned that the facility where his property was stored had been sold off to a third-party company, named Office Interiors Group. Sanders went the following month to get answers and claims he saw his stuff was being improperly stored and claimed that some items were broken and that some crates were missing. The outlet adds that Sanders believes his items were hauled off to another location and was put off the path by the company owners. After some haggling, Sanders gained access to the facility where he discovered some of his items were damaged and missing. A judge granted a temporary restraining order against the company that bars them from moving any other items. Sounds like the jig to us. — Photo: Getty

The Outkast rapper and the NFL joined forces to donate to the Martin Luther King Jr. Center for Nonviolent Social Change in his hometown. TMZ Sports reports : The Outkast rapper — who performed with Adam Levine and co. during the Super Bowl LIII halftime show — will announce Thursday a joint donation of $100k from himself and the NFL. We’re told the money will be going to the Martin Luther King Jr. Center for Nonviolent Social Change in Big Boi’s hometown of Atlanta. Sources familiar with the deal tell TMZ … the joint donation is similar to the ones the league made with the other halftime performers in Atlanta. Maroon 5’s went to Big Brothers Big Sisters of America, and Travis’ went to Van Jones’ Dream Corps. Their donations were announced before the big game, but we’re told Big Boi always intended to make one too. He just took longer to announce it because he needed time to decide where the money would be put to the best use — and The King Center won out. Salute to Big Boi for this grand gesture! — Photo: Getty

Email Submit Civilian Name : Travis Scott Super Name : Astro Superpower : Flight Origin : Hiphop Conquered Territory : Travis Scott gave us insight on his plans to expand a few years ago when he rapped, “I be flying high, shawty, I be flying high.” So it was no surprise when the accolades started rolling in globally… Back in the day when his Houston hometown got rid of his favorite amusement park, AstroWorld, the rapper turned to hiphop for fun and launched a music career that has literally taken him around the world to share stages with artists like Rihanna, Future, Drake, Maroon 5 and more. Fittingly, he named his 2018 album (which soured to no. 1 on Billboard charts) after the demise of the city’s staple attraction and it provided a deeper look into what inspired his most recent moves most, outside of the birth of he and Kylie Jenner’s baby girl , Stormi. With a passion for arts and kids, Travis founded the AstroWorld Music Festival which takes place across the street from the old park and aims to “bring back the beloved spirit and nostalgia of AstroWorld,” making a childhood dream of his come true as he shares the magic with Houston residents and visitors. In addition, he recently donated $100,000 to an after-school creative arts and education non-profit organization in Texas called Workshop Houston. He also designed the senior shirts for his city’s Eisenhower High School (per the request of the kids) and made a deal with the NFL to donate $500,000 to the “social justice accelerator” Dream Corps upon accepting the league’s offer to perform at Super Bowl LIII Where to next?

If you’re handy with math, then you know that’s about $120,000 a piece. “Since y’all got so many questions we made 3 mil & split it 25 ways. U happy? Have some compassion & ask us how we feel after counting til 1 p.m. My eyes are bleeding,” wrote the dancer on her story. SHEESH. The Stripper Bowl attendees are of course getting chastised for frivolously blowing an exorbitant amount of cash in one night—but we’re sure they probably don’t care. Do you? More from Quality Control’s Stripper Bowl on the flip.

Source: Cindy Ord/James Devaney/Prince Williams / Getty Rumors Says Kiyomi And Shaq Flirted Before Bow Wow Blew Up (Allegedly) Shaquille O’Nea l’s name is being added to the domestic dispute between Kiyomi Leslie and Bow Wow . As previously reported, the couple was taken into custody in the wee hours of the morning on Saturday after a party for a domestice fught. Details from the police report say the argument sparked because Bow Wow thought, in his own words, Kiyomi “disrespected” him by talking to another guy. Welp, according to a WSBTV reporter, the other guy’s name is Shaquille. NEW DETAILS ON RAPPER’S ARREST: Bow Wow told police that he got upset with his girlfriend because she was all over a man named “Shaquille.” Hours before his arrest, the ATL rapper was spotted at Shaquille O’Neal’s Super Bowl event, Shaq’s Fun House. — Michael Seiden (@SeidenWSBTV) February 4, 2019 Bow Wow and Kiyomi were both arriving home from Shaquille O’Neal’s Super Bowl event when their bloody domestic dispute occurred.

On Sunday night, the New England Patriots ground and pounded their way to a 13-3 victory over the LA Rams in what’s being called the most boring Super Bowl in history. (And it’s not even snooze-worthy Maroon 5 halftime show that earned the game that dubious distinction.) As far as we know, lifelong Pats fan Ben Affleck was not in attendance at the game, but it’s not entirely clear why Beantown Bennie decided to sit this one out. Perhaps like the rest of the world, Ben realized that a Pats victory was basically a foregone conclusion. And since Affleck is newly sober, he might not have felt like getting doused in Sam Adams by a bunch of celebratory Massholes. Of course, the fact that he’s kicked the sauce isn’t the only major change in Affleck’s life in recent months. According to E! News, Ben is back together with SNL producer Lindsay Shookus ! As you may recall, Ben and Lindsay began dating back in 2017. The relationship got so serious so fast that there were rumors Ben and Lindsay were engaged . A source tells E! that Ben and Lindsay have been on and off for longer than anyone realizes (So maybe there was some truth to those rumors that he started dating Lindsay while he was still married to Jennifer Garner !), and they’ve never been able to quit one another for very long. “They’ve known each other for years and there have been other periods of time where they didn’t speak. But they always seem to end up talking again.” Ben and Lindsay broke up last year, allegedly because his drinking had once again spiraled out of control. Now, however, it seems they’re right back where they started … well, sort of. The insider claims that while Ben and Lindsay are “spending time together” (which almost certainly means hooking up), but they’re not ready to make their relationship official again just yet. It seems Affleck feels that things are going well for him for the first time in quite some time, and he doesn’t want to rock the boat with any major announcements. “Ben is in a really good place right now. Both health-wise and with his family,” another source tells E! News. “Ben has been concentrating on being a doting father and has been spending time with his kids and Jen.” Affleck is so focused on his recovery and his family that he’s reportedly stepped away from his role as Batman in the DC cinematic universe. So perhaps Ben’s new focus on stability explains why he decided to steer clear of Atlanta during Super Bowl week. Or maybe grown adult and long-suffering Buffalo Bills fan Lindsay just didn’t want to run the risk of having to watch Ben fall off the wagon and lock lips with Tom Brady, a la Bob Kraft.
