Hailey Bieber provided her fans with an update on her health on YouTube, earlier this week, following a “mini-stroke” that she describes as the “scariest moment” of her life. The 25-year-old model was hospitalized for the health scare in March.

“Definitely the scariest moment of my life,” Hailey recalls in her video. “I had so many things running through my head, number one being, ‘I’m having a stroke. I’m really scared, I don’t know why this is happening, am I going to have permanent issues from this?’”

Bieber says that she first noticed numbness in her fingertips while having breakfast with her husband, Justin. Soon she began having difficulty speaking.

She explains: “[Doctors] were able to see that I had suffered a small blood clot in my brain, which they labeled and categorized as something called a TIA [Transient Ischemic Attack], basically it’s like having a mini-stroke. It definitely feels like having a stoke, except my body was able to resolve it pretty quickly and then I didn’t have any more issues for the whole rest of the day and the whole rest of the time that I was in the hospital.”

Shortly after, doctors performed an operation to repair a patent foramen ovale in her heart.

“It went very smoothly,” she said. “I’m recovering really well really fast. I feel great. The biggest thing I feel, honestly, is I just feel really relieved that we were able to figure everything out, that we were able to get it closed, that I will be able to just move on from this really scary situation and just live my life.”

2 Live Crew founder Uncle Luke slammed VladTV during a recent episode of The Luke Show, calling the outlet out for “sucker shit.” Luke was upset about VladTV’s questions for Brother Marquis during a new interview.

“I don’t do a lot of interviews with some of these organizations that are just looking for clicks,” Luke said. “These VladTV people .. the folks at VladTV decided they wanted to interview Brother Marquis of 2 Live Crew … When you have trash organizations like VladTV … where they go find people at their weakest moments … knowing these people aren’t equipped to do an interview.”

He continued: “But they’ll do the interview and ask them all kinds of crazy ass questions because they have some venom about where they’re at in their life, their career and the things that they didn’t do to take care of themselves when they were getting money.”

Luke went as far as to say he may take legal action against VladTV.

“I don’t even know where you find VladTV,” he added in the video. “[I] don’t know nothing about it. But all I know is when I get one too many friends texting me something that this guy said, I then have to address it because again like I said, I don’t run from no smoke. If VladTV is on [my live YouTube stream] looking, or whoever the producer is, you can get on here right now and we can have a conversation about it and everything that [Brother Marquis said]. But you never called me! You never had a conversation with me! You never corroborated the stories that this guy is saying, so you just let the dude say what he’s gonna say … and then you just posted it. Well, in the real world, that’s a lawsuit.”

Brother Marquis‘s interview on VladTV was published on April 27.

In a since-deleted post on Instagram, as noted by HipHopDX, Luke continued calling out the outlet, to which Rick Ross chimed in with a comment.

“Amen. Jesus,” wrote Ross, who has had his own problems with VladTV in the past.

Philadelphia 76ers veteran guard Danny Green came to the defense of his teammate, James Harden, during a recent episode of his Inside the Green Room podcast. Calling out Harden’s haters, Green compared criticism of the 2018 NBA Most Valuable Player to that of LeBron James and Steph Curry.

“I’ve learned being in this league that they don’t appreciate a lot of guys until they’re gone. And he’s (Harden) one of those guys, just like with LeBron [James], and shit, even Steph Curry has haters, which is crazy,” Green explained.

He continued praising Harden’s personality on and off the court: “He’s one of the nicest, most religious, winning guys. There’s nothing wrong with him, but everybody in the league has people who hate ’em. It’s usually fans of other fan bases, other teams, but there’s always gonna be people who criticize and find weaknesses.”

Harden joined the 76ers, earlier this year, after being traded from the Brooklyn Nets in exchange for Ben Simmons. Since being drafted in 2009, Harden has been selected to 10 All-Star teams and was named to the NBA 75th Anniversary Team in 2021.

Harden will be seeing an increased role with the 76ers in the coming games as Joel Embiid is expected to miss the start of the team’s series against the Miami Heat.

Human remains found in Texas back in December have been identified as former NFL tight end Kevin Ware’s missing girlfriend, Taylor Pomaski. The 29-year-old was last seen at her home on April 25, 2021, while hosting a house party.

No suspects have been arrested in connection to the death, and no official cause of death has been determined. Toxicology results are still pending.

“The investigation is still open and active and homicide investigators are diligent on bringing this case to a close,” Senior Deputy Thomas Gilliland confirmed in a statement to NBC News.

Ware was arrested for two counts of possession with intent to deliver a controlled substance, and unlawful possession of a firearm as a felon, but posted a $23,000 bond five days before Pomanski went missing. 

The former NFL player is currently residing at Montgomery County Jail, after being arrested for failing to appear in court and check in with the probation office.

Ware’s attorney, Coby DuBose, says that his client has been fully cooperative throughout the investigation.

“He’s told the police everything that he knows and he’s led them through his house. He’s let them in his home, and that’s really all we’re going to say about that,” DuBose told the NY Post.

Ware has been in jail for 10 months.

Jake Paul and Conor McGregor traded shots online after Ireland’s Katie Taylor defeated Puerto Rico’s Amanda Serrano on Saturday night at New York City’s Madison Square Garden. Paul was in attendance at the highly anticipated event, as he promotes Serrano, and was interviewed by reporters after the fight.

“Who the fuck is this jackass in the pink Jimmy saville glasses?” McGregor tweeted after seeing Paul on the broadcast.

Paul fired back: “Im the one who has done more for fighters than you ever have, the one who has won 5 fights in the past 2 years while you have lost 5, the one who isn’t owned by Dana White, the one who made the fight you just watched happen, the 1 who got your hero Katie Taylor paid, that’s who.”

Paul wasn’t done there. He continued going at McGregor in a post-fight press conference when asked about their interaction online.

“I mean, of course Conor’s watching to support Katie,” Paul said. “We had a little bit of banter back and forth. But of course he always has something to say, but he doesn’t really have a place to talk, right?”

Paul continued: “He hasn’t won a fight in five years. Dana [White] owns him, and I’m the one that got Katie Taylor a big payday and that’s his hero.”

While McGregor still has two fights left on his UFC contract, he hasn’t entered the octagon since injuring his leg during a fight against Dustin Poirier in July 2021.

In addition to being one of the most successful young rappers from Houston, Megan has done a signifigant amount of work to help out those in need from her hometown. In 2021, she launched the Hotties Helping Houston fundraiser which assisted Texas after the infamous winter storm that resulted in state-wide power outages.

“Individuals who receive the key are responsible of upholding Houston’s values and represent the best this city offers. In fact, the key is our commitment to those who represent Houston at its best,” Turner said.

It’s been a busy week for Megan, who is currently working on a comedy series about her own life for Netflix. She inked a first-look deal with the streaming giant, back in December.

Sam Raimi says it was “very painful” to not be able to make a fourth Spider-Man film with Tobey Maguire in the lead role. Raimi discussed the abandoned project during a new interview with Rolling Stone, this week.

Spider-Man 4 would’ve been a follow-up to his critically panned 2007 film, Spider-Man 3. Raimi says that he wanted to use a fourth film to redeem himself after the third film wasn’t received as well as the rest of his trilogy.

“It was a very painful experience for me,” Raimi admitted to the outlet. “I wanted to make a Spider-Man movie to redeem myself for that. [The aborted] Spider-Man 4 — that was really what that was about. I wanted to go out on a high note. I didn’t want to just make another one that pretty much worked. I had a really high standard in my mind. And I didn’t think I could get that script to the level that I was hoping for by that start date.”

Raimi says that he wanted Kraven the Hunter as a villain for the fourth film and would have liked to cast Bruce Campbell as Mysterio.

As for whether he would be interested in reuniting with Maguire for a new movie, he seemed conflicted.

“My love for the characters hasn’t diminished one iota,” Raimi said. “It would be the same things that would stop me now that stopped me then: ‘Does Tobey want to do it? Is there an emotional arc for him? Is there a great conflict for this character? And is there a worthy villain that fits into the theme of the piece?’ There’s a lot of questions that would have to be answered. If those could be answered, then I’d love to.”
