December 3, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Taylor Swift was in attendance for the Kansas City Chief’s latest game against the Green Bay Packers on Sunday Night Football. She rocked an oversized red coat over a black turtleneck. During the broadcast, she watched on alongside Brittany Mahomes as her boyfriend, Travis Kelce, came up just short of a comeback win with a failed hail mary attempt to end the game.

Kelce finished with four catches for 81 yards as the Chiefs lost 19-27. With the loss, they fall to 8-4 on the season, keeping them in first place in the AFC West. The Packers, on the other hand, are now 6-6 and in third place in the NFC North.

It’s far from the first time Taylor Swift has attended one of Travis Kelce’s games this season. She first made an appearance at the Chiefs’ blowout win over the Bears back in September. Additionally, the star tight end recently traveled to Buenos Aires to attend the singer’s Eras Tour show in November. On stage, Swift switched up the lyrics to her hit song, “Karma,” to shout out her new boyfriend. She sang: “Karma is the guy on the Chiefs coming straight home to me.” Afterward, Kelce discussed the moment on his podcast, New Heights. “Yeah, no, had no clue. Well, I might have had a little bit of a clue but definitely when I heard it come out of her mouth, still shocked me. I was like, ‘Oh, shh,’ she really just said that,” Kelce admitted on the show.

Swift’s appearance at Sunday night’s game comes after she recently congratulated Kelce on amassing 11,000 total receiving yards for his career. In doing so, she liked an Instagram post noting the feat. Be on the lookout for further updates on Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift’s romance on HotNewHipHop.

Worry bout ya own self, soft ass little boy.”

Florida State “Disgusted” By CFP Snub Despite Undefeated Season

December 3, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Florida State head coach Mike Norvell said he was “disgusted” after the undefeated Seminoles finished fifth in the College Football Playoff rankings. “I am disgusted and infuriated with the committee’s decision today to have what was earned on the field taken away because a small group of people decided they knew better than the results of the games,” Norvell said in a statement. “What is the point of playing games? Do you tell players it is OK to quit if someone goes down? Do you not play a senior on Senior Day for fear of injury? Where is the motivation to schedule challenging nonconference games?” Norvell said. It’s the first time in the history of the CFP that an undefeated conference champion didn’t make the playoffs.

Furthermore, the committee’s decision meant that the 13-0 Seminoles were left out of the four-team playoff in favor of two one-loss teams. Texas (No. 3) and Alabama (No. 4) both made the cut as one-loss conference champions. It is was ta spate of late-season injuries at quarterback that cost Florida State their place in the last four-team playoff. Instead, the Seminoles will play Georgia in the Orange Bowl on Christmas Eve. Georgia lost the SEC Championship to Alabama.

Michigan Headlines CFP Bracket

Just four teams remain in contention for the college football National Championship. They are headlined by Michigan, the Big 10’s undefeated powerhouse. Sign-stealing allegations aside, Michigan has been a monster this season and boasts the best defense in the nation. They face Alabama, who leapt into the top-four after knocking off Georgia. The Crimson Tide looked dead in the water after their Week Two loss to Texas. However, they bounced back to rattle off eleven consecutive wins and now appear in their eighth CFP bracket.

Meanwhile, Washington completed an undefeated season to become the first Pac-12 team since 2016 to reach the CFP bracket. Ironically, they achieved it in the final season of the Pac-12 as we know it. While Washington’s defense has been shaky at times, they are led by Heisman contender Michael Penix Jr at quarterback. They face Texas, who routed Oklahoma State in the Longhorns‘ final Big 12 game. Texas enter as a one-loss champion, having fallen to Oklahoma in the Red River Rivalry earlier in the season. Despite the hype around Arch Manning, it has been returning QB Quinn Ewers who has helped steer Texas to their first CFP appearance.

Ime Udoka Ejected For Confronting LeBron James, Lakers Veteran Jokes That It Was About Thanksgiving

December 3, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Rockets head coach Ime Udoka was ejected early in the fourth quarter of Houston’s loss to the Lakers after a tense exchange of words with LeBron James. “We had some conversation and they [the referees] didn’t like what they heard,” Udoka said of the confrontation after the game. When asked about his version of events, LeBron remained equally coy. “Thanksgiving. We talked about how much we enjoyed Thanksgiving,” LeBron said playfully. The Lakers vet picked up a technical foul for his role in the dispute. However, he remained in the game.

The loss dropped Houston to 0-8 on the road this season. They are the only team yet to win away from home. However, their 8-9 record is still good enough for 10th place in the Western Conference. While the Rockets had two players surpass 20 points, there wasn’t enough consistent scoring to overcome the Lakers. Anthony Davis had a game-high 28 points for LA, while LeBron finished the night with 16. With the win, the Lakers improved to 12-9 on the year. However, they have alternated wins and losses for their last seven games.

LeBron Will Attend Bronny’s USC Debut, Even If He Has To Miss A Lakers Game

Elsewhere, LeBron recently revealed his plans regarding his son Bronny’s impending debut with USC. “Whenever he’s cleared and ready to have his first game, I already told my teammates that if they play on the same day we’re playing, I’m going to have to catch them the next game. Family over everything. But definitely got to see Bronny’s first game whenever he’s cleared and ready to go,” LeBron told reporters after the Lakers’ Thursday night loss to the Thunder.

Earlier this week, the James family announced that Bronny had received medical clearance to resume practice with USC “next week”. Furthermore, the family’s statement said that Bronny’s debut as a Trojan would come “soon after”. Of the Trojans’ next 10 games from December 11 onwards, four coincide with a Lakers’ fixture. If Bronny’s debut comes against Oregon State (December 30), Cal (January 3), Colorado (January 13), or Arizona (January 17), LeBron would be skipping a Lakers fixture. Of the four, only the matchup against Cal is a home fixture for USC. The Galen Center, USC’s home base, is a little over two miles from the Lakers’ Crypto.com Arena.

Larsa Pippen & Marcus Jordan’s Engagement Is “In The Works,” She Flaunts Ring At Jingle Ball

December 2, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Larsa Pippen and Marcus Jordan recently stepped out for the iHeartRadio Jingle Ball, flaunting their romance on the carpet. It’s not the only thing the Real Housewives star showed off, however. The 49-year-old posed for photos making sure that her left hand was in full view, flexing a diamond-covered ring on her engagement finger. She complemented the shimmering jewelry with a similarly eye-catching black jumpsuit, which she paired with a simple blazer.

Pippen first highlighted the ring in photos earlier in the week at a DIRECTV event at Kathy’s in Los Angeles. While the ring seemingly suggests that the controversial pair are engaged, they clarified that they’re not in an interview with PEOPLE. They are, however, looking forward to when that moment finally arrives. When asked about his future proposal, Jordan claimed that it’s already “in the works.”

“I feel like we’ve been looking at rings,” Pippen chimed in. “We’ve definitely been shopping. That’s for sure,” Jordan agreed. Luckily for her, she has total faith that the 32-year-old will sweep her off of her feet when the time comes. “I’m excited,” she shared. “I feel like Marcus has got great taste, and I feel like I know that he’s not going to disappoint us.”

The couple is also having the “best” time working together on their Separation Anxiety podcast. “I’m working every day with my best friend, and I feel like separation anxiety is a real thing for us,” Jordan explained. “So the more time we spend together, the better.” What do you think of Larsa Pippen and her man Marcus Jordan showing off her ring at the iHeartRadio Jingle Ball?

Lee Corso Left Very Confused By “College GameDay” Guest’s Multiple Meme References

December 2, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Lee Corso was left flummoxed by his guest co-host on College GameDay as comedian Theo Von fired off some hilarious non-sequiturs while appearing on the show. Von, a veteran MTV comedian who has seen his popularity explode on TikTok, lost the ESPN stalwart while discussing why he was picking Florida State over Louisville in the ACC title game. “I think Jameis Winston…they’re gonna pull of that uh…I mean, he’s still got like two months of eligibility, right? And the Saints ain’t using him appropriately. They’re gonna pull of that crustacean W down there. That crab dub. Believe in that trustacean,” Von said. Corso capped off the hilarity as the 88-year-old leaned in and asked Von “What’d you say?”

Von was making reference to the bizarre 2014 incident when Winston, then playing at Florida State, was cited for shoplifting crab legs from a Publix. However, crabs are now beloved by young people, with memes such as “Return to Crab” and “Crab Rave” being immensely popular. While Von is very clearly in touch with the youth of today, it appears that Corso’s meme game is a little behind the times. Furthermore, while the crew was discussing Florida State-Lousiville at the time of the viral moment, GameDay was being from Atlanta for the SEC title game between Georgia and Alabama.

Mutilated Cow Found Before Big 12 Title Game

However, it appears that it’s not been all fun and games on Championship Weekend. Police are investigating a mutilated longhorn cow that was found outside an Oklahoma State fraternity. Police were alerted to the house of FarmHouse Fraternity around 6:30am Friday. “F-CK FH” had been carved into the animal’s side and its stomach had been cut open, per the campus newspaper. “It’s a very cruel crime to be committed, especially right before the Big 12 Championship. Nothing is worth doing that kind of crap,” a campus police officer told The Oklahoman. “[We are] appalled at the disturbing display of animal cruelty at an off-campus location near a fraternity house. Appropriate action will be taken based on the outcome of the investigation,” the university said in a statement.

Texas, whose athletic nickname is the Longhorns, would go on to handily beat Oklahoma State 49-21 in the Big 12 title game on Saturday. Furthermore, campus police told the student paper, The O’Colly, that the perpetrators could face an animal cruelty charge. It’s a charge that carries a felony. This remains a developing story.

Royce Reed Considering Dwight Howard Lawsuit In Light Of Diddy Situation

December 2, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Royce Reed has told VladTV that she is considering a lawsuit against Dwight Howard. Reed’s musing comes after Cassie sued, and settled, with Diddy over historic abuse allegations. Reed has made no secret that she suffered at the hand of Howard and has not ruled out filing a lawsuit of her own. However, Reed also acknowledged that a settlement was not a substitute for the recovery she believed she needed to continue to do.

Furthermore, Reed also doubted that Howard would ever make it back to the NBA. “I believe, as a collective, they [the NBA] don’t care for him. I think it’s just the drama in general. You’re talking about a billion-dollar industry. And you’re talking about someone who is bringing all this drama into that environment. And it’s not [good] drama like Travis Kelce dating Taylor Swift,” Reed said. Howard did receive some attention in the offseason, namely from the Warriors. However, the team chose not to sign Howard. Many experts believe that teams simply didn’t have space or the resources to accommodate Howard, his demands, or his potential drama.

What Has Royce Reed Said About Dwight Howard?

Reed has spent 2023 making some bold claims about her ex. “This man is evil. Y’all fall for it every time. Ask him why he’s telling a 12yo he’s gay bcuz he hadn’t “touched anything” or watching porn with them? Better yet, why it took 4.5 years to fire the nanny that molested 2 of his kids. I got time today. He took this little boy from this grandmother that raised him and kept her in court for 2yrs only to give him to his parents while he was overseas. GTFOHWTBS. So while y’all constantly out here pointing fingers at me, understand there’s a reason why!” Reed wrote on Instagram in July. She also claimed that Howard had asked her to be the “matriarch” of his “polyamory quest”, something she refused to do. Furthermore, she finished her posting with the claim “I have videos and texts. I keep everything.”

She reiterated claims about Howard’s desire for polyamory during her interview with Carlos King. Reed revealed that Howard had come to her on numerous occasions to express a desire for him to see other women and for them to have experiences with other women. However, Reed says that she shut down the topic every time it was raised. Of course, it’s not the first time that Reed has brought up Howard in the interview. In a previous part, Reed painted a scathing picture of indifference on the part of Howard towards her pregnancy. As Reed tells it, Howard tried to ditch her as soon as she told him she was pregnant. Howard allegedly tried to get her to sign an NDA while also demanding that she not put his name on the birth certificate or the baby registry.

Tristan Thompson’s Baby Mama Maralee Nichols Celebrates Theo’s 2nd Birthday, Athlete Keeps Quiet

December 2, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Getting caught in the act of cheating is embarrassing enough, but NBA star Tristan Thompson has done it enough times that he now is known as “Third Trimester Thompson.” When Khloe Kardashian was in labour with their firstborn, True, he was in an infidelity scandal that made national headlines. From there on, their co-parenting relationship was rocky, though they have made several attempts to reconcile over the years. More recently, the on-again-off-again couple decided to have another baby via surrogate. That experience was going to be a healing one for the reality star. However, the hurt struck her again after Thompson got another woman, Maralee Nichols, pregnant.

The Canadian initially tried to deny his role in the situation. After taking a paternity test he had no choice but to accept responsibility for, once again, breaking Kardashian’s heart. Their son, Tatum, spends a reasonable amount of time with the busy baller from what we’ve been, but Nichols’ baby boy, Theo, didn’t get so much as a birthday shoutout from Thompson when he turned two on Friday (December 1).

Thankfully, as The U.S. Sun reports, the 33-year-old remains a dedicated mother to her only child. On her Story, Nichols reposted an elegant maternity shot that shows her nude body swinging from a sheer piece of fabric. “Can’t believe my baby is two today , she wrote beneath it, reflecting on how much Theo has grown in that time. Even if Thompson isn’t interested in keeping up with his third child, many social media users are following the young boy’s journey into adolescence alongside Maralee.

Happy Birthday, Theo!

Russell Wilson’s Birthday Gives Fans Adorable Family Photo With Ciara And The Kids

December 2, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Russell Wilson offered another little snapshot into his family life as his wife Ciara shared an adorable photo from the veteran quarterback’s recent birthday. The photo sees the whole family gathered around a simple yet elegant birthday cake for Russ, with everyone beaming happily at the camera. Russell and Ciara have two children together, as well as having primary custody of Future Jr, Ciara’s son with Future. However, the couple is also expecting their third child, who will be born next year.

Wilson turned 35 on November 29. Wilson is the 10th oldest quarterback in the NFL, just behind Kirk Cousins and Ryan Tannehill. Of course, he’s practically baby-faced when compared to Aaron Rodgers, the league’s oldest quarterback. Rodgers, who is making a miraculous recovery from an Achilles tear, turned 40 on December 2.

Wilson Engineering Mid-Season Turnaround

A post shared by The Neighborhood Talk (@theneighborhoodtalk)

Meanwhile, Wilson has completely turned around his fortunes on the football field. Many dismissed the Wilson-led Broncos after the started the season 1-5. It appeared as though the issues that had led them to finish 5-12 last season were persisting. Furthermore, many felt that Wilson simply wasn’t the player he had been in Seattle and that his once-great career was headed for an ignominious end. Cam’ron even went as far as to suggest that Wilson should ditch Ciara to refocus on football.

However, the Broncos now sit at 6-5 after rattling off five consecutive wins. This includes wins over playoff contenders such as the Chiefs, Bills, and Browns. Wilson finished the 2022 season with just 3524 passing yards. Through 11 games in 2023, he already has racked up 2199. Additionally, he has already eclipsed his touchdown mark, throwing 20 TDs through 11 games compared to 16 TDs in 15 games last season. If the Broncos’ white-hot pace continues, there may be more celebrations for the family in the near future. The Broncos are next in action against the Texans, another team that has had a mid-season reversal of fortune.

Josh Giddey Allegations: Livvy Cook Hires Attorney Gloria Allred

December 2, 2023 by newhiphopnews

The family of Livvy Cook, the alleged minor who reportedly had sex with NBA star Josh Giddey, has retained the services of high-profile lawyer Gloria Allred. Allred has risen to fame in recent years for her involvement in high-profile sexual assault lawsuits. Allred’s previous clients include women who have sued the likes of Donald Trump and Bill Cosby. However, Allred had no comment other than to confirm the family had retained her when contacted by TMZ.

The news comes after it was reported that Cook and her family were not cooperating with police in an investigation into the allegations surrounding Giddey. Police in Newport Beach, California formally opened an investigation into the allegations that Giddey, who plays for the Oklahoma City Thunder, had engaged in a sexual relationship with a girl allegedly as young as 15. However, Cook and her family have refused to meet with police, stymying their efforts to establish if there is any truth to the rumors.

Josh Giddey Continues To Play Amid Allegations

Hmmmm , GLORIA ALLRED has been hired by the girl at the center of the investigation into OKC star Josh Giddey pic.twitter.com/mUxCgiAhyo

— Austin Jones (@PO1135809) December 2, 2023

Many questions still remain about the allegations surrounding Giddey and Cook. Despite speculation, Cook’s actual age has still not been confirmed. Similarly, it is still unknown where the alleged encounter took place. This could have a major impact on whether Giddey is charged with a crime. The age of consent in California, the girl’s home state, is 18. However, the age of consent in Oklahoma, where Giddey plays, is only 16. Regardless, the allegations have not stopped Giddey from seeing the court.

The Thunder have refused to comment on the allegations other than to acknowledge their existence. As a result, Giddey has played in all three of the Thunder’s games since the allegations emerged last week. Giddey has notched 34 points, 21 rebounds, and 10 assists across those three games, which have resulted in two losses and a win for OKC. He briefly acknowledged the allegations last weekend but refused to say anything further. This remains a developing story and we’ll have any updates as they emerge.
