Klay Thompson and Steph Curry makeup one of the deadliest backcourts in NBA history. Unfortunately, Thompson has not been able to play over the past couple of years due to injury. Thompson first tore his ACL during the 2019 NBA Finals, and back in 2020, he tore his Achilles during a practice. Warriors fans have been missing Thompson for quite some time, and it’s clear that his teammates would love to have him back as well, especially in the midst of such a strong start to the season.

Thompson has been making great progress on the floor, and over the past few weeks, it has become apparent that he would be back on the floor soon. As it turns out, Thompson could be back in a Warriors jersey by this weekend, as a new report from Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN, lays out what sources are expecting.

According to Woj, many believe that Thompson will be on the floor as of this Sunday, January 9th, when the Warriors take on the Cleveland Cavaliers at home. The Warriors had made it clear that they want Thompson’s return to take place in San Francisco, and if things go according to plan, that is exactly what will happen.

Stay tuned to HNHH as we will continue to bring you all of the latest updates from around the NBA.

Key Glock has remained relatively silent as he mourns the passing of his music partner and cousin, Memphis rapper Young Dolph, who provided so many opportunities for Glizzock to grow into the premier vocalist that he is today. Glock likely wouldn’t be in this position had he not come up with Dolph as his mentor, and we can’t imagine how difficult this time is for the rapper.

Following Dolph’s murder last year, Glock shared a touching message to his fans, speaking on what his cousin meant to him as a person and an artist. Several weeks have passed and Glock is making sure to keep Dolph in his thoughts every day. On Monday, he shared a picture from the beautiful mural of Dolph in Los Angeles, which was painted after his death.

During our recent interview with producer Bandplay, who worked extensively with Dolph and Glock, he revealed that he has been keeping in touch with Glock, saying, “[Key Glock] is doing better, but it’s going to be hard for all of us because it’s still fresh. I don’t really think Glock has gotten back into the studio yet, but I do know he’s planning to do some stuff here pretty soon.”

Bandplay also revealed that a Dum And Dummer 3 project from Dolph and Glock is already complete.

The dawn is coming… On Monday (January 3), Toronto-based recording artist The Weeknd announced that he would be closing this week by releasing his new studio album, titled Dawn FM. The body of work has been in the works for the last year, following the release of the extremely successful After Hours. Last night, Abel informed his fans that he would be sharing the album cover artwork on Tuesday morning. He did exactly that, unveiling the official artwork for Dawn FM on Instagram.

The artwork features The Weeknd as an older version of himself, with grey hair, wrinkled skin, salt-and-pepper facial hair, and a neutral look on his face. This falls right in line with Weeknd’s vision for After Hours, during which the artist aged himself digitally in music videos and utilized prosthetics, make-up, and more to complete his look. 

The cover is drawing comparisons to Abel’s Trilogy era, considering the fact that this feels like a natural continuation from his After Hours album. 

While some fans are a little confused by the cover art and aren’t particularly feeling it yet, what’s most important is the music that we’re getting alongside this. Dawn FM is dropping on Friday and it seems like, every day until then, the Torontonian is doing something to bless his fans. Yesterday, we got the feature-artist listing and the release date, and today we got the pre-save link and cover art. What do you think we’re getting tomorrow?

Let us know what you think of the Dawn FM cover in the comments.

Ben Roethlisberger has had his fair share of struggles over the last couple of years, however, that does not take away all of the good things he did as a member of the Pittsburgh Steelers. He was able to win two Super Bowl titles all while making it to a third title game, against the Green Bay Packers. As a result of his success, Roethlisberger is a beloved fixture in Pittsburgh, and fans have been anxious about his impending retirement.

Just a few days ago, Big Ben dropped a bombshell as he claimed that Monday night’s match against the Cleveland Browns could be his last-ever game at Heinz Field. This made last night a huge moment for Roethlisberger, who ended up pulling off a nice 26-14 victory. After the win, Roethlisberger got a huge standing ovation from the fans.

Roethlisberger was understandably emotional following the win as he got choked up while standing in the middle of the field. He is well-aware that this is probably the last time he will ever be in a Steelers uniform in Pittsburgh, and as he told ESPN, it was a truly special moment for him

“I’m just so thankful for these fans and this place. There’s no place like it,” Roethlisberger said.

While the Steelers probably won’t be making it to the postseason, at least Big Ben and company were able to go out in style on home turf.

This weekend was particularly wild when it comes to NFL football. The craziest thing to have happened involved none other than Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Antonio Brown, who stripped down to his pants and threw his gear in the stands. He then jogged off the field all while waving to the fans. It was a pretty hilarious display, however, the Buccaneers did not feel the same way as Bruce Arians claimed that Brown would be kicked off the team in due time.

In the meantime, former NFL wide receiver Terrell Owens is looking for a job. At 48 years old, Owens believes he is in great shape, and recently, he told the Fubo Sports Network that he is looking for a gig with the Buccaneers. As you will see below, he makes a good case for himself.

With Brown gone, Tom Brady could use all the weapons he can get, although we’re not sure if the Bucs would want someone who is almost 50.

Like many of our other favourite rappers, Rich The Kid brought in the new year in a wild way. On Sunday, January 2nd, The Shade Room uploaded a video from the “Plug Walk” hitmaker’s Instagram, showing him and his girlfriend, DJ and actress Tori Brixx turning up while she twerks on him.

As HipHopDX notes, the 29-year-old appears to be a little bit lost in sauce in the clip, to say the least. He can be seen holding a bottle of George Clooney’s Casamigos tequila, which has been known to cause a good time for whoever drinks it (in moderation, that is).

At the end of the brief video, Rich falls to the ground, no longer unable to stand with Brixx sitting on top of him. It’s unclear if his shaky legs were due to the booty in front of him or the liquor, but elsewhere on his Instagram page, the Queens-born recording artist admitted that it might be time for him to take a Casamigos break.

“Yeahhhhh, we gotta give the Casamigos a break,” he can be heard saying from behind the camera, holding up the pretty blue and white bottle which coordinates with his vacation outfit of the day. “Casamigos been beating, bussin’, biting all year,” he added, zooming in on his icy accessories while talking.

Other stars who rung in 2022 on a yacht include Jake Paul, who posted up with Champagne Papi himself, and Meek Mill, who put on an unforgettable performance for some of his closest friends in beautiful St. Barts to celebrate the special occasion – read more about that here.

This year’s New Year’s Eve Live broadcast from CNN won’t soon be forgotten. Anderson Cooper and Andy Cohen were on hosting duty as we closed out 2022, along with other network favourites who may or may not have had a bit too much to drink.

As PEOPLE reports, at one point during the evening, the Real Housewives host took things a bit too far when he began trash-talking ABC’s broadcast, hosted by American Idol‘s Ryan Seacrest. “If you look behind me you’ll see Ryan Seacrest’s group of losers performing,” Cohen told the camera. “I’m sorry but if you’re watching ABC, you’re watching nothing.”

On Monday, January 3rd’s episode of Radio Andy, the 53-year-old addressed his comments, admitting he was embarrassed specifically about what he said about Seacrest. “The only thing that I regret saying, the only thing is that I slammed the ABC broadcast,” he said. “And I really like Ryan Seacrest and he’s a great guy and I really regret saying that and I was just stupid and drunk and feeling it.”

“I was continuing the Journey rant and I just kept talking and I shouldn’t have and I felt bad about that, so that is the only thing,” he continued. “The headlines about Ryan Seacrest are all like I trashed Ryan Seacrest and I really… I hope he hears the clip.” Cohen also joked about his hosting gig on Twitter, admitting to his followers that he was “a bit overserved.”

A CNN spokeswoman has confirmed that, despite his drunken antics, the Bravo icon is welcome back to Times Square at the end of 2022. “Andy said something he shouldn’t have on live tv. We’ve addressed it with him and look forward to having him back again next year,” she confirmed.

Elsewhere in the live stream, Cohen had a message for former New York Mayor Bill de Blasio – read more about that here.

According to the ladies on Lip Service, dating a man is more appealing than dating a woman because of the fear factor. Last week, New York native DreamDoll appeared on the show, chopping it up with the hosts about what it’s like to navigate the world of romance as a bisexual woman. 

“You would consider yourself bisexual, right?” one side of the room was asked by Angela Yee. The first woman immediately confirmed, then Stephanie Santiago reluctantly responded, “yeah, okay, Ang. Fine.”

The “Oh Shhh” rapper laughs and joins in on the discussion before Ang says, “but, you know what I’m saying, they also said that they wouldn’t be in a relationship [with a woman]” implying that the girls were only interested in having sex with other women, not pursuing romance.

We then cut to Santiago explaining, “I like a real manly man, you know?” She continued, “so I feel like, because men are scarier, you know, if I’m in a relationship with a woman and she does something disrespectful to me, I’m gonna…” before being interrupted by the 29-year-old recording artist, who chimed in with, “Imma smack the shit out of her, okay?”

Santiago breaks into a smile, responding, “yeah, exactly. See, but I won’t do that to a man. I won’t hit a man, I just can’t see it.” Another voice in the room added, “it’s balance.”

Check out DreamDoll’s full Lip Service interview, during which she talks about having a boyfriend and a girlfriend, surgical reductions, and double dildos below. 

Khloe Kardashian’s ex-husband Lamar Odom is wishing her “the best” as she deals with her baby daddy Tristan Thompson’s ongoing paternity scandal. In case you missed it, the 30-year-old professional athlete confirmed earlier tonight that he is the father of Maralee Nichols’ newborn child, who was conceived while he was publicly dating the reality star.

“You don’t deserve this,” the Canadian told his baby mama in a public apology on Monday, January 3rd. “You don’t deserve the heartache and humiliation I have caused you. You don’t deserve the way I have treated you over the years. My actions certainly have not lined up with the way I view you.”

Of course, the internet has had plenty to say about Thompson’s Instagram story, but according to E! Online, Odom has also shared his thoughts on the situation, leaving a comment on a Facebook post to express how he feels. “I truly wish nothing but the best for her,” the 42-year-old revealed. 

“I’m hoping we can reconnect and talk one day as friends. She is a good person and deserves the world,” he added.

Yesterday, Odom found himself trending on social media when an interview he gave back in 2019 resurfaced. While in front of the camera, the former Clippers player revealed that he was once romantically linked to Hidden Figures actress Taraji P. Henson, sharing that his relationship with her was the “most significant” one he had with a Black woman as an adult.

“Things ended with Taraji because of me being an immature punk,” the New York-born athlete recalled. “I didn’t know how to tell her that I was falling in love with another woman named Khloe Kardashian.”

Khloe Kardashian has been accused of “stealing” other people’s faces in the past, but this time around, it looks like someone is copying her look.

On Sunday, January 2nd, Utah-born model Chrissy Teigen dropped off a glamorous selfie, showing off her haircut by Luke Pluckrose and makeup by Nikki Wolff, and while some followers focused on how great the mother of two looks, others couldn’t help but point out that she looks almost freakishly similar to the Revenge Body star.

“Fresh cut! I know I know snip snap snip snap,” Teigen captioned her selfie, which sees her wearing a brown and black plaid coat as she smizes for the camera, highlighted hair perfectly straightened and smokey eye beautifully blended.

One viewer dropped off a comment reading, “anyone else thought she was Khloe at first glance?” earning thousands of likes. Others have written things like “looked like Khloe Kardashian when I looked quickly,” and “is this the Khloe Kardashian filter?” also getting them plenty of attention.

Over on Twitter, the conversation got a bit deeper, with some users pointing out that this seems to be a classic example of “Instagram face,” pointing out that, thanks to programs like FaceApps, influencers and celebrities who have mass power over their followers are able to seamlessly edit their face and bodies, passing them off as authentic and achievable to fans who are none the wiser.

Elsewhere on her Instagram page, the Deal or No Deal alum gave her 36.4 million followers an update on her eyebrow transplant, which saw doctors take hair from the back of her head and add it to her face; read more about that here, and let us know what you think about Chrissy Teigen’s “new” face in the comments.
