Lady Gaga’s dog walker Ryan Fischer went through an incredibly traumatic experience on Wednesday night as he was shot in the chest while out with the singer’s three French bulldogs. As the story goes, two men in a white sedan pulled up to Fischer and immediately got out with guns drawn. They demanded that Fischer give up the dogs and when Fischer refused, one of the men shot him in the chest and stole two of the three pups.

The two dogs are named Koji and Gustav and as it stands, Lady Gaga is offering $500,000 for the dogs to be returned to her care. According to TMZ, surveillance footage that caught the incident on tape has now been released to the public as authorities try and figure out who these men could be.

Fischer was immediately brought to the hospital following the shooting and is expected to be okay. As for the investigation, no suspects have been found at this juncture, although they are hoping this new footage will shed some light on who these perpetrators were and what their motivations were.

The singer is currently in Rome and in the meantime, she has been communicating with her team back home to bring justice to her dog walker, while also getting her beloved dogs back.

Stay tuned for updates on this developing story as we will be sure to bring them to you.

Deshaun Watson wants out of Houston and everyone in the NFL knows it. Unfortunately for the superstar quarterback, the Texans seemingly don’t care and are refusing to trade him. A few weeks ago, the newly appointed general manager told reporters that they aren’t even listening to teams about a Watson trade and that at this point, they have absolutely zero intentions of ever dealing him. This is completely contradictory to Watson’s recent meeting with new head coach David Culley, where he reiterated his intentions of leaving.

Following this meeting, a report came out from Tom Pelissero of the NFL Network, that the Texans are still not going to listen to offers and that as a result, teams have grown frustrated. In fact, some teams have left desperate voicemails with trade proposals that have yet to be answered.

This kind of standoff is certainly rare in professional sports as most teams capitulate to the player’s request. This time around, however, the Texans aren’t budging, and the new management seems to already have a grudge against their superstar quarterback. It’s an awkward position to be in, and it doesn’t seem like it will be resolved anytime soon.

If this goes into training camp, it could definitely get ugly and detrimental to both sides. With new details emerging every week, stay tuned to HNHH as we continue to bring you new details.

As of late, boxing legend Mike Tyson has been making waves in the entertainment with his podcast Hotboxin’ with Mike Tyson, and he has mostly been making headlines only for positive reasons. That being said, if you’ve ever seen what Iron Mike could do in the boxing ring, you’d be smart not to never get on his bad side. Streaming service Hulu, however, must not feel that way, because it has recently become at odds with the pop culture icon.

Hulu recently ordered an eight-episode docuseries about Mike Tyson’s life, and the miniseries, titled Iron Mike, will reportedly focus on the wild, tragic, and controversial moments throughout his career. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Tyson isn’t involved with the series in any capacity, but sources close to Hulu claim that the streaming service‘s executives briefed the former heavyweight boxer and his team about the series months ago.

However, that hasn’t stopped Mike Tyson from speaking out against Hulu and urging his followers to boycott the Disney-backed streaming platform.

About an hour ago, Tyson posted a picture that featured Hulu’s logo with a giant red “do not” symbol stamped on top of it and the words “#BOYCOTTHULU” featured underneath the graphic. For anyone confused about his call to action, Tyson left a long-winded caption to explain, saying, “Hulu’s announcement to do an unauthorized mini-series of the Tyson story without compensation, although unfortunate, isn’t surprising. This announcement on the heels of social disparities in our country is a prime example of how Hulu’s corporate greed led to this tone-deaf cultural misappropriation of the Tyson life story.”

“To make this announcement during Black History Month only confirms Hulu’s concern for dollars over respect for black story rights. Hollywood needs to be more sensitive to black experiences especially after all that has transpired in 2020,” Tyson continued before finally urging his followers to boycott the beloved streaming service. “The real Mike Tyson authorized story is in development and will be announced in coming days. Hulu to announce stealing a black athletes story during Black History month couldn’t be more inappropriate or tone deaf. #boycotthulu #corporategreed.” 

Will you be siding with Iron Mike on this one and join the Hulu boycott?

Stephen A. Smith is one of the most beloved personalities on sports talk television and as many of his fans already know, he was quite the basketball player in both high school and college. Smith was a star at Winston-Salem State, where he was a point guard from 1987-1991. It was during these years that Smith also learned how to become a broadcaster, and eventually a reporter who covered the Philadelphia 76ers.

Recently, Smith’s photo from his years at Winston-Salem went viral, which led to a ton of jokes on social media. In fact, Dwyane Wade was one of the people chiming in, as he said “Giving this dude 50 and icing by the 4th quarter.”

While many found Wade’s Tweet humorous, Smith immediately made not of it and replied in jest, in true Stephen A. fashion.

“All Hell-To-The-No! You did not come at me like that. Well, I’ve got a response Damnit! I’ve got a Response………You’re absolutely correct! I have no comeback. Damn!” Smith said.

Whenever Smith is at a basketball court, he always tries to chuck up a few threes, and more often than not, he makes them. While he may not be as talented as an NBA star, he is certainly one of the few reporters who understands the game from a player’s perspective.

Zack Snyder currently has DC fans waiting on the edge of their seats for the long-anticipated release of the mythical Snyder Cut. After Snyder stepped down from directing 2017’s The Justice League due to a myriad of personal and professional issues, the final version of DC’s superhero epic left fans disgusted and longing for Snyder’s original version, and after four years, its release has finally been confirmed for March 18. However, that’s not all that Snyder has in store for fans this spring.

While his superhero flick will be arriving next month on HBO Max, Zack Snyder also has a zombie epic set to premiere on streaming competitor Netflix on Friday, May 21. Titled Army of the Dead, Snyder’s next action-packed horror effort arrives 14 years after Snyder and James Gunn’s remake of the classic zombie movie Dawn of the Dead, and today, fans got an exclusive new look at the upcoming Netflix film.

Nicki Minaj’s fanbase is probably one of the most explosive and die-hard collections of fans in Hip-Hop, and probably the entire music industry. The group of stans often referred to as The Barbs has clashed with several high-profile artists and celebrities when defending their favorite rapper, from Cardi B in 2019 to more recently Doja Cat. At times, Nicki Minaj herself has even had to step in and tell her faithful fans to chill out.

Now, it looks like the Queen artist may have to do that once more because The Barbs have a new target: Claudia Jordan.

Yesterday, it was reported that Claudia Jordan felt embarrassed for Nicki while she was dating Meek Mill after witnessing the Philly explode on restaurant patrons taking photos of them. In light of recent 6ix9ine and Kobe Bryant-related controversies regarding Meek Mill, Jordan recalled her past impression of the Dreamchasers artist, saying that he was “emotional” and “impulsive.”

Although that may not seem like a reason for The Barbs to come for Jordan’s neck, one part of her statement rubbed Nicki Minaj fans the wrong way. While explaining her opinion about Meek, Jordan said, “It’s Nicki Minaj, the biggest rapper of all time, at the time.”

Some fans took Jordan’s last-second “at the time” qualifier as shade, so Nicki Minaj stans have subsequently flooded Jordan’s socials with nasty messages and death threats due to a perceived slight against the Pink Friday rapper. 

As seen in the video above, Jordan is both alarmed and confused by The Barbs’ threats. She asserts that she wasn’t shading Nicki in her statement, saying, “So you give a compliment…they mad cause you didn’t phrase it the way THEY would in YOUR convo? Get ALL the way the F*** outta here kids.”

Hopefully, The Barbs will leave Claudia Jordan alone, but if they don’t, we may be hearing from new mother Nicki Minaj very soon.
