SEE IT: Jimmy Butler to Star in New Netflix Docuseries ‘Starting 5’ Alongside LeBron James, Anthony Edwards and Others

Miami Heat star Jimmy Butler will be featured in a new Netflix documentary series titled “Starting 5”, set to premiere on October 9.

Gotta admit, this looks fire.

The series will provide an inside look at the lives of several NBA stars, including LeBron James, Anthony Edwards, Jayson Tatum, and Domantas Sabonis.

Kinda overdo, a show like this but if you don’t know the NBA is super strict with authorizing access to the teams, and hence the stars during the season. Brand protection and it makes sense.

“Starting 5” will go beyond game footage, showcasing behind-the-scenes moments from the players’ daily lives, both on and off the court. Like Hard Knocks but multiple teams and focused on stars only.

Butler, known for his vibrant personality and media day antics, including last year’s viral “Emo Jimmy” hairstyle, will likely captivate viewers with his off-court endeavors.

The series may also delve into Butler’s various side projects, including his coffee brand “Big Face Coffee,” his appearances in commercials and music videos, and his passion for sports like soccer and tennis. He’s gonna be a riot.

As the Miami Heat prepare for the upcoming season, fans can look forward to getting a closer look at Butler’s life through this highly anticipated Netflix series.

Well here’s the trailer:

Drake Leaks Unreleased Intended Kendrick Lamar Collab on 100 Gigs Website

Drake stays relevant. He recently sparked peculiar interest after sharing footage of an unreleased collab with Kendrick Lamar on his 100 Gigs website. Is the beef over? Who knows. 

Okay, the video features Drake and his longtime producer Noah “40” Shebib in the studio, listening to a beat that Drake enthusiastically calls “crazy.” 

After the beat plays, Drake confidently says, “For him, where he’s at, I know he’s gonna murder that sh”t,” to which 40 agrees, adding, 

“When he told me Kendrick, it just made so much sense. Oh, the brilliance! So good.”

Get this, although the track never saw the light of day, the beat eventually went to Action Bronson, who used it for his 2015 track “Actin’ Crazy,” produced by 40 and Dreamville’s Omen. 

This interesting relevation adds another layer to the history between Drake and Kendrick Lamar, who collaborated on tracks like “Buried Alive Interlude” from Drake’s 2011 album “Take Care” and “Poetic Justice” from Lamar’s “good kid, m.A.A.d city.”

Their so called cordial and seemingly collaborative relationship began to sour after Kendrick’s 2013 “Control” verse, where he called out several rappers, including Drake. 

But wait, didn’t Drake start it? By sneak dissing? We’re confused.

Anyways the tension escalated and the rest is history

Trump Slanging $99 NFT Collection in Crypto Push

by

Let’s get something straight. When a former president sells sneakers, bibles, t-shirts, commemorative coins and now NFTs, there’s something weird going on.

Let’s get to the NFT thing. President Donald Trump has unveiled a new set of digital trading cards, part of his ongoing effort to engage with cryptocurrency enthusiasts as he eyes the upcoming election.

The “Series 4: The America First Collection” of non-fungible tokens (NFTs) was launched on Tuesday, each card priced at $99.

$99 bucks. For a Trump NFT. During the biggest presidential election season of modern times. Grifting his supporters. Doesn’t this seem weird?

Get this, the latest collection features Trump in various poses, including one as a “sneakerhead” showcasing his line of gold shoes, another depicting him in a superhero suit labeled “SuperTrump,” and several others under the title “crypto president,” a nickname he gave himself at a tech fundraiser earlier this year.

But check this out, it gets better. Trump’s NFTs come with various perks for buyers who meet certain spending thresholds, including autographed merchandise, pieces of his debate suit, and even dinner with the former president. High-end purchasers who spend $24,750, exclusively in cryptocurrency, are promised tickets to a Trump gala in Florida and cocktails with the former president.

The new collection follows a series of previous NFT drops that Trump claims have generated over $4 million per release, although the exact portion of that revenue going to Trump remains undisclosed. Wasn’t Tory Lanez doing this?

It appears Trump’s latest NFT launch is part of a broader strategy to appeal to the crypto community, despite his previous criticism of cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin, which he once described as a “scam against the dollar.”

If you recall, while in office, Trump was outspoken against cryptocurrency, calling it “highly volatile and based on thin air.” However, his stance has since softened, and he has made several moves to align himself with the crypto industry, including meeting with Bitcoin miners and speaking at major cryptocurrency events.

Trump’s embrace of the crypto world is seen as a bid to attract new supporters as he prepares for a tight election race against Vice President Kamala Harris. His running mate, Senator JD Vance of Ohio, who’s getting more attention these days for his trips to donut shops and his haircut, if you want to call it that, is also a pro-crypto candidate, further solidifying their ticket’s appeal to the tech-savvy electorate.

Idk. Seems, weird.

Here’s the official breakdown:

“Alex Wolff stars as Tom, a scholarship student desperate to break free from his working-class background who is charmed by the prestigious KNA fraternity’s promises of high social status and alumni connections that open doors. But upon beginning a romance with Annabelle (Halle Bailey), a classmate outside of his social circle, and the manipulative schemes of his fraternity president (Lewis Pullman) unfolding during the hazing of new members, Tom finds himself ensnared in a perilous game of ambition and loyalty.”

When it comes to the filmmakers, the film’s screenplay, co-written by Berger and Alex Russek, has been produced by Alexandre Dauman, Jack Parker, Adam Paulsen, and Lije Sarki, with executive producers including Taylor Grant and Zack Purdo.

Wendy Williams Makes Rare Public Appearance Appears ‘Sharp and Upbeat’

by

Talk show icon Wendy Williams was recently seen out and about in New Jersey. This marks a rare public appearance but thankfully has sparked positive reactions.

Obviously Williams is known for her long-running talk show, was spotted shopping at the Bolingo Balance shop, owned by Victor Bowman, the son of the late herbalist Dr. Sebi.

According to our friends at PageSix, Williams appeared “sharp, upbeat, and aware” during her visit, a significant update given her recent health struggles.

Williams’ son, Kevin Hunter Jr., accompanied her on the outing and assisted her throughout the visit. While Williams was reportedly “engaging,” it was noted that she was not entirely familiar with the products at the store, prompting her son to explain more about them. Items gifted to Williams included natural remedies like sarsaparilla, contribo, bottano oil, and capsules from Dr. Sebi’s collection.

This sighting comes amid ongoing concerns about Williams’ health.

ICYMI, in February 2022, she was placed under court-ordered guardianship after her bank, Wells Fargo, raised concerns about her well-being. The bank requested an inquiry, leading to a court decision to appoint a guardian to manage her finances, citing fears of “undue influence and financial exploitation.”

Get this, Williams publicly opposed the guardianship, asserting her independence in an interview. “They say that I need somebody to handle my account. And I don’t want that,” she stated. “I want all my money. I want to see all my money that I’ve worked hard for my entire life.”

But earlier this year, Williams revealed that she had been diagnosed with primary progressive aphasia and frontotemporal dementia.

That diagnosis is a big deal and almost identical to what famed actor Bruce Willis is suffering from.

Her diagnosis follows her previous battles with Graves’ Disease, Lymphedema, and other health issues. In response to her health challenges, her team released a statement, expressing that the decision to share her diagnosis was difficult but necessary to raise awareness.

Williams’ struggles have also been the subject of a recent Lifetime documentary, “Where Is Wendy Williams?” However, the film has been criticized as exploitative by her publicist, Shawn Zanotti, and her guardian, Sabrina Morrissey, who described the project as a “blatant exploitation of a vulnerable woman with a serious medical condition.”

We’re wishing Williams the best and this sighting was certainly hopeful.

Quavo Salutes Drake: ‘Never Forget What We Did’

Quavo Salutes Drake: 'Never Forget What We Did'

Quavo is standing ten toes down in Drake being his friend. Drake’s career has flooded the Internet with an opening of his archives via 100 Gigs. Quavo shared an old clip of The Boy with Migos and wrote, “@champagnepapi Never forget what we did gang!!! Migo gang 4L. Drake SInatra.”

Drake recently dropped new music. Three new tracks—”Circadian Rhythm,” “SOD,” and “No Face” featuring Playboi Carti all “leaked” through @plottttwistttttt, his finsta IG account.

Let’s get right to it. 

”SOD” might be familiar to fans as it was previously known as “Supersoak,” a track that streamer Kai Cenat debuted last month. Get this: initially, it featured a verse from Lil Yachty, but after clearance issues over the sample with Mr. HotSpot. Yachty’s verse was removed for the official release. Interesting.

The “Circadian Rhythm” track is sparking speculation due to its possible connection to Kendrick Lamar’s diss track “6:16 in LA.” Some listeners believe the song’s title references a line from Lamar’s track, where he raps about “circadian rhythms of a shooting star,” hinting at a potential response from Drake in the ongoing tension between the two artists. Who knows. We’ll see if Dot responds or thinks he even needs to.

In “No Face,” Drake aims at his critics, rapping, “I’m just so happy that n—s who envied and held that shit in got to finally show it / I’m over the moon, yeah, we’ll see you boys soon.” Sounds about right. 

ICYMI, these new releases follow Drake’s recent drop on 100gigs.org, where he shared a massive collection of unreleased music, behind-the-scenes footage, tour set designs, and studio clips. Among the previous releases were tracks like “It’s Up” featuring Young Thug and 21 Savage, “Blue Green Red,” and “Housekeeping Knows” featuring Latto, which also made their initial debut on his Instagram burner before being officially released on streaming platforms.
