Stephen A Smith Hits ESPN With Gargantuan Salary Demand That Has Twitter In A Frenzy

by

Stephen A Smith is easily the biggest name in sports media. Overall, he is someone who has completely taken ESPN by storm. In the eyes of many, he is the main star of the network. Without Smith, ESPN would be struggling right now. After all, their best show in terms of ratings is none other than First Take. It is a show that brings in tens of millions of dollars each year. At the end of the day, that makes Smith a huge breadwinner for the company, and Smith is ready to be rewarded for it.

According to reports, Smith is currently in contract negotiations with ESPN. As it stands, Smith is looking for $25 million per year. However, ESPN is only offering him $18 million at the moment. This is almost 30 percent less than his asking price. Smith has demonstrated a desire to become a late-night host, or perhaps even a political commentator. These avenues could make him a lot more money and it remains up in the air if he would even stay at ESPN for $25 million.

WATCH: New Trailer for ‘Breakin’ On the One’ Hulu Documentary Based on Breakdancing’s Origins

Screen Shot 2024 06 20 at 11.08.24 AM

The first trailer for the upcoming documentary, “Breakin’ on the One,” set to debut on Hulu on June 24. Directed by JamsBash, the film chronicles the origins of breakdancing and its cultural impact. I mean, it’s breakdancing. This has to hit the mark right?

Here’s the official description from Disney/ESPN’s Andscape:

On August 15th, 1981 when a large, excited crowd gathered at the plaza of Lincoln Center in Manhattan for the Out-of-Doors Festival. The highlight of the event was a breaking battle between the Rocksteady Crew and the Dynamic Rockers. What unfolded would prove to be a seminal moment in American culture, a showdown that has reverberated for decades across hip hop, dance, race, and politics. Utilizing a trove of archival material from the 1980s and interviews with those who were there, this is the chronicle of how breaking transformed itself from a niche urban activity to an Olympic sport performed worldwide. It’s the tale of how a handful of innovators from often neglected corners of a struggling city helped create a cornerstone event for a movement, one that grew from its devastated borough origins to influence the highest ranks of sports and entertainment. Spanning much of the half-century since hip hop emerged in New York and became a cultural phenomenon, this is the story of how the breaking battle of 1981 helped create the world as we know it today.

Jason Aidoo, VP and head of Andscape, expressed his excitement about the documentary’s release, stating, “Ahead of its Olympic debut this summer, we are thrilled to bring the story of break dancing to our audiences. This documentary is a testament to the impact breakin’, The Rocksteady Crew and Dynamic Rockers have had on our culture.”

Director JamsBash added, “We are incredibly stoked to help tell the story of these amazing dancers. Kids from Black and brown communities in New York created a unique art form that’s now an Olympic Sport. We love that a small part of that origin is now being celebrated on film.”

Marsha Cooke, Vice President of ESPN Films, remarked, “Breakin’ On the One is a celebration of the community that revolutionized dance, and brought people from across the world together. We are thrilled for this story to finally be recognized, and to bring it to audiences across the globe.”

The film’s executive producers are Jason Aidoo, Dwayne Bray, Heather Anderson, Marsha Cooke, Brian Lockhart, and Burke Magnus. It is produced by Marquis Daisy, Gus Navarro, and Catherine Sankey, with Ashley Bembry-Kaintuck serving as co-producer.

Should be interesting. It’s a doc about a cultural staple that is embedded in Hip Hop. Feels like a must watch in our opinion. Check out the trailer below:

Post Malone Gave Steve-O An Impressively Graphic NSFW Tattoo Right On His Face

Given that Steve-O came to fame as a member of the Jackass crew, he’s known for not sying away from extreme things. Well, he’s at it again. He didn’t put himself in harm’s way this time, but his body didn’t leave the moment the same way it entered it.

Steve-O just turned 50 on June 13, and he decided he wanted to celebrate by having Post Malone tattoo a penis right on his forehead. So, that’s what he did. Steve-O announced the stunt earlier this month, saying, “If you can believe it, I’m getting my first face tattoo… but that will be the day after my birthday. Post Malone’s gonna tattoo a dick on my forehead. That’s the plan.”

As the video shows, the inking went down the weekend Post Malone headlined Bonnaroo. There were seemingly some nerves from both Malone and Steve-O, but Malone got to work, starting “with the balls,” per Steve-O’s instruction, right above the eyebrow.

In a part of the video filmed after the tattooing, Steve-O offers a more clear look at the art, and it’s a relatively detailed piece, with the work contouring to the shape of his eyebrow, complete with some strategically placed liquid droplets.

Check out the video above.

Tony Hale has had a mighty successful acting career. In fact, the actor stars in Disney and Pixar’s Inside Out 2, which is currently showing in theaters. However, none of this has quite impressed Hale’s daughter.

Yesterday (June 14), during an appearance on The Talk, Hale confessed that he found a way to earn some cool points with the help of Beyoncé.

To help kick off the Cowboy Carter rollout, the “Texas Hold ‘Em” singer partnered with Verizon, for an internet-breaking Super Bowl LVIII commercial.

When asked by host Sheryl Underwood about keeping the secret from his certified Beyhive member daughter, Hale shared how hard it was. “So [when] I got this gig, I was like, ‘This is so cool,’” he said. “But I had to sign [some paperwork] so I couldn’t say anything. But my daughter had just been to Beyoncé’s [Renaissance] concert. Usually is super bored by what I do. She doesn’t care, and I had that [one thing] and I couldn’t say it. So she had to wait to see it on the Super Bowl.”

He then went on to reveal the exchange they had after the commercial aired. “I was out of town, unfortunately,” he said. “But she texted me and was like, ‘Dad?’ So I texted her an emoji of a bee. And I was like, ‘Yeah. I got it.’”

50 Cent’s transition to mogul has been a sight to witness. The “In Da Club” rapper struck TV gold with Power, and its spin-offs.

With Power Book II: Ghost starring Michael Rainey Jr. and now Power Book IV: Force with Joseph Sikora entering its final season, viewers are ready to say goodbye for good. However, yesterday (June 14), 50 Cent made it clear that Power Universe fans should expect something special rather soon.

While sharing the Sikora’s teaser video on the set of Force, 50 Cent used the post’s caption to hint at the beloved TV series’ future. “I’m glad all the fans have been so supportive of ‘Force,’” he wrote. “We have more heat coming, my ‘Power Universe’ is still expanding… wait till you see what I have up my sleeve, you haven’t seen the last of Tommy.”

Sikora echoed the sentiments in the clip. “When Gary Lennon and the other writers and I were mapping out our third season, we saw that we were telling a complete story,” he said. “And that this was the perfect opportunity to stay true to our artistic vision and make this the final chapter in Tommy’s journey in Chicago. But don’t worry, Tommy’s journey is far from over with. We’re just getting warmed up, and I can’t wait to show you what we have planned next.”

Power Book II: Ghost is available for viewing on STARZ network and the STARZ app. Find more information here.

Desi Banks Walks Back Initial Frustration With Complex’s “Funniest Person On The Internet” Rankings

by

Desi Banks is a comedian who has been able to craft out a sizable fanbase for himself. Moreover, he is someone who is known for internet skits, and being particularly famous online. This subsequently led to his inclusion on Complex’s latest “Funniest Person Online” list. However, Banks found himself just inside the Top 10, at number 8. The list included Druski, who was ranked number one. Kai Cenat, Lou Ratchet, and Trarags were other creators who ended up getting the nod.

Following his inclusion on the list, Banks took to social media where he seemed a bit upset by his ranking. “Guess my black ass ain’t shit,” he wrote. “Dizamn thanks for the fuel stuff like this motivate my black ass.” With his reaction going viral online, Banks ultimately clarified himself to The Shade Room. “I’m playing but I’m not because I care that much about comedy, but it’s all good. I’ll keep doing my thing and elevating in the real world doing real sh*t, also doing the social media. But it’s my motivation,” he said.

He also spoke about the list and how there was a lack of women on there. “It could have most definitely been more, I know a few women,” he noted. “The women that’s on there, I can’t speak on people I don’t know. If we talking about social media, I’m talking consistency of comedy for years, folks they had on that list have’t even been around like that.” Needless to say, these lists hold a lot of weight, even if some people try to argue that they don’t.

50 Cent Gives Massive Updates On “Power Book IV: Force” Season 3 & Franchise’s Future

by

50 Cent and Power series star Joseph Sikora, who plays Tommy, have some bittersweet but nonetheless exciting news when it comes to the future of the franchise. Moreover, on Thursday (June 13), the G-Unit mogul uploaded a video of Sikora on set of Power Book IV: Force, and his remarks on the television empire are quite interesting. This show’s third season will be its last, but he hinted at there being many more surprises and developments for the franchise’s future, so it seems like die-hard fans and longtime viewers won’t be seeing the end of the Power universe just yet.

“This was the perfect opportunity to stay true to our artistic vision and make this the final chapter in Tommy’s journey in Chicago. But don’t worry, Tommy’s journey is far from over with. We’re just getting warmed up. I can’t wait to show you what we have planned next,” Joseph Sikora said of 50 Cent’s Power Book IV: Force. “Tune in, because ghosts never die, and power never ends,” he added towards the end of the clip below, setting the stage for a lot more room for the franchise to grow despite some current controversies around lawsuits and life-threatening drug kingpins.

Furthermore, this also comes amid the announcement that Power Book II: Ghost will end with its fourth season, so some fans think that there will be a big new spinoff announcement soon. Regardless, 50 Cent is happy and grateful to enjoy the current ride and have a blast while he waits for what’s next, as his caption for this announcement indicated. “Im glad all the fans have been so supportive of FORCE,” he shared on IG. “We have more heat coming, my Power Universe is still expanding… wait till you see what I have up my sleeve, you haven’t seen the last of Tommy.”

Meanwhile, 50 Cent also has projects to look forward to outside of the Power universe, such as the upcoming crime doc TikTok Star Murders. There’s a lot on his plate, but it seems like he’s having a grand old time amid all the chaos, success, and kick-offs. Maybe Power is closer to its end than its beginning, but it’s clear that they have such a rich world to tell stories within. Hopefully fans get the satisfying conclusions that they deserve and get more material to look forward to.
