We're literally hunted EVERYDAY/EVERYTIME we step foot outside the comfort of our homes!" LeBron says (which is a weird thing for one of the most rich, famous, respected athletes on the planet to say). Well that same LeBron just added another castle to his collection. He paid $36.8 MILLION for a Hollywood mansion once owned by Katharine Hepburn. Who even knows how many houses this guy has now. All this oppression sure is paying off for him!

The Lakers star, who’s currently competing for an NBA championship in Florida, just bought a Mediterranean-style compound in the Beverly Hills Post Office area for $36.75 million, according to the Multiple Listing Service. Spanning 2.5 acres, the property was sold by the estate of Lee Phillip Bell, the talk show host and “The Young and the Restless” co-creator who died earlier this year. The mammoth deal marks an eastward move for James, who also owns a pair of homes in Brentwood: one that he bought for $21 million in 2017 and another that he picked up two years later for...

LeBron James and the Los Angeles Lakers won Game 2 of their Western Conference Finals showdown against the Denver Nuggets on Sunday night. Following the game, James sent a clear message to his critics.

“Pissed me off. That's my true answer. It pissed me off, because out of 101 votes, I got 16 first-place votes. That's what pissed me off more than anything,” James told reporters, according to ESPN. “You know, not saying that the winner wasn't deserving of the MVP. But that pissed me off. And I finished second a lot in my career, either from a championship, and now four times as an MVP.” James is a four-time MVP winner. He led the Lakers to the top seed in the Western Conference this season after his 2018-19 season was upended because of...

The thousands of people who descended upon the Jersey Shore town for President Donald Trump's 'Keep America Great' rally at the Wildwoods Convention Center left behind a sea of trash in the parking lot — including their abandoned beach chairs and blankets — after the rally wrapped up.Rally-goers were allowed to bring chairs as they waited in line — some for up to 48 hours before the event — but they weren't allowed to bring them inside the venue.Factor in the blankets they used to stay warm, and all their drinks and food they were snacking on during the long wait...

A reporter from Eight by Eight, a soccer magazine that looks at the sport and its place in culture, asked Rapinoe if she was excited about going to the White House if her team wins the Women's World Cup.

The magazine posted the...

The US women's soccer team has been slammed for wildly celebrating every goal in their 13-0 defeat of Thailand. The Women's World Cup favorites thrashed the minnows in Riems, France on Tuesday night and reacted to each goal as if it were their first. Thailand was never a real threat to the U.S. national team. Even so, the three-time Women’s World Cup champions had no desire to go easy on a lesser opponent in their opening game. Goals matter in the group stage.

Fox News personality and National Review contributor Kat Timpf was forced to leave a bar in Brooklyn over the weekend after a woman she had never met became enraged upon learning she worked in conservative media.

Democratic National Committee (DNC) chairman Tom Perez introduced former President Barack Obama as America’s “real president” at a DNC fundraiser Thursday night. “Let’s give it up for the real president of the United States,” Perez said at Thursday’s fundraiser, Politico reported. Obama reportedly then told the crowd of Democratic donors that they are “right to be concerned” about Trump’s presidency. Perez’s false descriptor for Obama is just the latest instance of prominent Democrats abandoning political norms in order to undermine President Trump. Obama has sharply broken with precedent by repeatedly attacking Trump. When Obama left office, the existing standard was...

The Chicago Tribune published an article Monday accusing Melania Trump of running for cover and acting “like a victim.” Author of the piece, Dahleen Glanton, said it is becoming “difficult” to feel sorry for Melania and pushed her to “step up and start doing her job.” Glanton then attacked the first lady’s sincerity by claiming she never expected her husband to win and was pressured into helping with the campaign. “Perhaps she didn’t mean any of it,” Glanton writes. “Perhaps she never really wanted to live in the White House. Perhaps she bowed under pressure to join the campaign. Perhaps...

And the Internet wasted no time in reading between the lines of their casual beachside style. The former president was sporting a backward hat, while Michelle was rocking denim cutoffs and toting a woven beach bag. “Obama’s on vacation with the hat backwards. He’s never coming back,” the tweet that started the speculation reads. And the Twitterverse quickly agreed. Others turned their attention to the former first lady, whose signature...

If Donald Trump is waiting for an apology from the cast of “Hamilton,” he will have to continue to wait.
