The millionaire father of an Arizona teen accused of beating Preston Lord to death had a habit of bragging about paying to get his kids out of trouble, his ex-girlfriend told police. Talan Renner, 17, is one of seven young men accused of beating Lord, 16, to death outside a Halloween party last year in Queen Creek, a suburb of Phoenix. He and the other suspects are believed to have ties to the so-called Gilbert Goons - a group of mostly wealthy white kids who have been terrorizing the area for years.

Shaquille O’Neal took a break from NBA Finals coverage on Tuesday for a night out with a famous pal. The NBA Hall of Famer, 51, dined at the Beverly Hills Hotel this week with internet personality Brittany Renner, with the outing being described to TMZ as “nothing more than two friends catching up.” Renner, who shares a child with Charlotte Hornets forward PJ Washington, opted for a white dress and a bright purse while O’Neal sported light-wash jeans, a zip-up and sneakers.

Marvel actor Jeremy Renner is in "critical but stable" condition after an accident while plowing snow, his representative said."We can confirm Jeremy is in critical but stable condition with injuries suffered after experiencing a weather related accident while plowing snow earlier today," a spokesperson for Renner told Variety on Sunday evening.
