Gilbert Arenas: “They never gave me a number for Puff though, right? No. But they gave me Beyoncé's number, and said he’d throw a number so high just to signal he didn’t want to do it. Like, ‘I don’t want to do parties and clubs, but if you give me that number, f** it, I’ll take it.’*” “So they gave me Puff’s contact. I hit Puff up and he charged me $200,000. I used to get charged $200,000.” “Once I got his name as the host, Lil Wayne came, T.I. came. Then I made the party private. Everybody and their mama wanted to be there.” “At the same time, I started doing All-Star voting. That year I overtook Vince Carter for the starting spot in the All-Star Game in Vegas.” “Then I renegotiated with Adidas. I was asking for $2 million, and they ended up giving me $5 million a year.” “All right. So yeah, Diddy talked. I f***ed that off though with the gun situation. But I got that deal first. So that’s the question now—” “Basically, I threw a $2 million party to get $40 million.”
Pablo Torre: What I did was confirm with multiple sources that Diana Taurasi never saw LeBron James at the memorial that day. So this person held up as the proof did not see LeBron that day. So claim number two: That LeBron James was there but he chose to be left off camera. And what we did was we talked to a lead producer on the memorial, a longtime award show producer named Ron Basile. He helped coordinate everything from Beyonce's 6:40 a.m soundcheck to Michael Jordan's eulogy and the producer told us when we asked him about any directive from LeBron James about having him on camera, quote: "The off-camerara thing is bullsh*t." End quote. And so I want to be careful here but he wasn't stage left. He wasn't off camera, and we can further tell you that according to two additional independent high-level sources involved in the planning of this whole event, who were in attendance, what they tell us here at Pablo Finds Out is that they did not see LeBron in the building. They don't know of a single person who did see him in the building. And one of the people who did not see LeBron at all that day was in fact Lakers owner Jeanie Buss. So as one of the sources who spent that morning in the events VIP areas says of LeBron quote "There's no f*cking way he was there. If he was there he was Casper the Ghost." End quote.
A new Diddy accuser claims he was sexually assaulted, raped and humiliated at a "freak-off" party in Miami ... and he says Jay-Z, Beyoncé, LeBron James and Gloria Estefan saw him in rough shape. Diddy is being sued for human trafficking by a Florida man named Manzaro Joseph , who claims Diddy humiliated him at an April 2015 birthday party for King Combs by strapping a penis to his face and parading him around.
Data provided by Videocites, a social media tracking and analytics company, shows a much smaller gap between the NFL and NBA compared to TV and streaming viewership. The data shows that from Dec. 25 to Dec. 27, the NFL drew 921 million video views, about 14% more than the 811 million views the NBA delivered. The NFL was able to do this despite streaming two games during about a seven-hour run time compared to the NBA, which had its first game tip-off at noon ET with the final game ending around 1 a.m. ET. However, a deeper look into the Videocites numbers shows slightly more than half of the video views generated by the NFL were based on the 12-minute halftime performance of Beyoncé (464 million). The games themselves generated 457 million video views.
LeBron James takes shot at Marc Gasol over losing Defensive Player of the Year to him: He didn't even make 1st Team All-Defense
NBA Central: LeBron James says it doesn’t make sense that he hasn’t won DPOY, comparing it to Beyoncé never winning AOTY "The year I finished 2nd… the guy who won Defensive Player of the Year didn't even make 1st Team All-Defense" (@TheShopUN ) pic.twitter.com/m7itTITayO

Kanye says he can't be controlled ?? "They can control Shaq, Charles Barkley, LeBron James, Jay-Z & Beyoncé but they can’t control me. [...] My mama was sacrificed. [...] In Hollywood, a lot of people come up missing. They wanna monetize & traumatize."
The two were in great spirits -- laughing and dappin' each other up outside of the eatery ... and while Russ didn't say too much, it's pretty clear he's fired up to be staying in L.A. for at least another year. Of course, the 33-year-old's first year in Lakers purple and gold didn't go smoothly -- he was heckled daily over his play -- but he made it obvious with an impromptu Beyonce car karaoke sesh Tuesday morning that he's shaking all of that off in 2022-23.

You average a 300 in bowling?! Where do you find the time to get so good?! Jimmy Butler: It comes naturally. It’s like Beyoncé said. She woke up like this. I woke up like this. Bowling just comes so naturally to me. Bowling is like basketball and basically, all other forms of sports.
"It was fun, man," Durant said. "Especially with the Knicks playing and us playing ... we've got two teams in the playoffs and Knicks, Nets fans got a little beef right now because both teams are solid. We've got the Madison Square Garden, Barclays beef as well in the city. So it just felt like a lot of energy, man. You look in our stands, you're seeing superstars there -- Beyoncé, Jay-Z, H.E.R., Bryan Cranston ... Travis Scott. "So I'm like, 'Yo, you see that energy floating around in our building for games like that now. What's next year going to look like?' And so, people got that picture in their minds ... it's cool to be a part of that s--t -- you know what I'm saying? -- and help build that s--t. I felt that like the last few days, leaving the arena and s--t like that. It was fun."
Beyoncé dazzled for her courtside date night with Jay-Z on Saturday, taking in the Brooklyn Nets game at Barclays Center in head-to-toe leather. The “Black Parade” hitmaker, 39, teamed a tiny black patent leather corset dress ($723) with a matching oversized embellished shirt ($9,325), both by David Koma. She accessorized with crystal-studded Magda Butrym x Linda Farrow sunglasses ($435), Christian Louboutin pumps ($745) and a sparkling diamond choker.
Nets Daily: Beyonce, Jay-Z, Trevor Noah joined a crowd 15,750 last night, 98% vaccinated. That's a sellout and only 2,000 short of normal NBA capacity at Barclays. Unlike Knicks (who no longer are playing ICYMI), Barclays is selling tickets to unvaccinated who sit in reserved sections.
