Pistons Fans Chanted ‘Sell The Team’ Following Detroit’s 27th Loss In A Row, A Single-Season Record

Despite a monster night from Cade Cunningham, and despite the fact that the Brooklyn Nets on a three-game road losing streak, and despite the fact that it is incredibly hard to lose this many basketball games in a row, the Detroit Pistons set an NBA single-season record by losing their 27th game in a row on Tuesday night. Despite getting awfully close and even leading in the fourth quarter, Detroit fell 118-112 on the evening, moving them to 2-28 on the regular season.

Unsurprisingly, the Pistons fans at Little Caesars Arena were not happy to see the team lose yet again, and down the home stretch, those in attendance made clear that they want new ownership as soon as possible.

While Detroit lost, there was a bright spot in the play of its former No. 1 overall pick. While Cunningham has had an up-and-down campaign for a myriad of reasons, he legitimately looked like the kind of guy the Pistons can build around going forward. He was magnificent, going for 41 points on 15-for-21 shooting with nine rebounds, five assists, one steal, and one block in 37 minutes of action.

While the Pistons now have the single-season record for losses in a row, they haven’t quite reached the longest losing streak in league history. That mark goes to the Philadelphia 76ers, which lost 10 straight games to close out the 2014-15 season before losing 18 consecutive contests to begin 2015-16. If Detroit wants to avoid that fate, it will need to pick up a win on Thursday night in Boston or defend its home court on Sunday evening against Toronto.

Lil Nas X Teased His New Era With A Hilarious Parody Site Calling To ‘Save’ Him From Satantism

A new era of Lil Nas X may soon be upon us. Earlier this month, the “Industry Baby” hitmaker took to social media to tease his “Christian era.” Today (December 26), it appears a new website is signifying that new Lil Nas X music may be arriving sooner than we think.

A website called SaveNasX.com appeared in cyberspace today. On the website is a clock showing the number of days that have passed since his debut album Montero dropped in 2021. The site also seems to call back to the Montero era, when he was accused of practicing satanism.

In the video for Lil Nas X‘s “Montero (Call Me By Your Name),” the pop star is seen dancing in hell and giving the devil a lapdance. The website, which is designed to parody those of Christian conspiracy theorists, calls for Lil Nas X to be “saved” and to repent and seek God.

“Has the DEVIL-WORSHIPPING pop-artist finally been sacrificed to HIS MASTER?,” reads a blurb on his site. “WHY is he SECLUDING HIMSELF???? What is he PREPARING FOR? This site will answer ALL THESE QUESTIONS AND MORE!!!… We will find Montero, and WE WILL SAVE HIM BY RETURNING HIS HEART TO J.CHRIST’S LIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”

Also on the website is a form where fans can register to “save” Lil Nas X (or, receive updates from his newsletter).

At the bottom of the site is a copyright sticker from Sony Music Entertainment, indicating that the site is run by Lil Nas X’s official camp.

Jay-Z’s Birthday May Soon Be Turned Into An Annual Holiday In His New York City Hometown

Jay-Z has always shown love to his hometown of New York City. And now, his city is showing him love back. The rapper’s birthday is December 4, and soon, New York may turn this day into an annual holiday.

The news has arrived by legislation first introduced by Council Member Farah Louis — and co-sponsored by Combat Jack’s son, Chi Ossé, alongside Kevin C. Riley, Crystal Hudson, and Jennifer Gutiérrez.

“The global phenomenon that is Jay-Z, born Shawn Carter, is widely known as an artist, mogul, husband and father, wealth builder, and supportive economic development and community causes,” Louis said in the resolution meeting, according to the hearing notes. “Both his career and success have spanned decades. The accolades for Mr. Carter are filling museums, magazines, and libraries. TV shows and radio programs clamor to provide content dedicated to his masterful work that has inspired many. December 4th, as Jay-Z Day, announces to the world how this Brooklyn son can be all things including loved by his community.”

The resolution has since been sent to the Committee on Cultural Affairs, Libraries, and International Intergroup Relations. From there, it has been filed officially with the City Council, and will be discussed in the council’s 2024 session, which will begin on January 3, 2024.

Back in July, Jay was honored with the special The Book Of Hov exhibition at the Brooklyn Public Library. The exhibition featured photographs of Hov, as well as vinyl recordings and special anecdotes.

It appears Cardi B and Offset managed to put their differences aside for the holidays. Earlier this month, Cardi revealed that she and Offset had split a while ago. But despite the rocky split, the two appeared to spend Christmas together, as evidenced by posts shared to Cardi’s Instagram account.

In the video clips, Offset and Cardi are seen opening gifts with their children and family members. While the news of the split is still fresh, both Cardi and Offset seemed to be in good spirits.

While break-ups are never easy, Cardi isn’t letting her and Offset’s split keep her down. During a recent Instagram Live, Cardi shared that she is using this difficult time as motivation to step up her pen game.

“I want to start 2024 fresh, open,” she said. “I’m curious for a new life, for a new beginning. And yeah, I’m excited! New look, new life, new everything…I’ve been going so hard for 2024 to go directly as I want it to. I feel like in 2017 I was single, and that’s when I worked the hardest.”

Taraji P. Henson Got Rid Of Her Entire Team After They Failed To Find A Strong Follow-Up To ‘Empire’: ‘You’re All F*ckin’ Fired’

ffEMP-S2_212-sc11.12-ch_0370_f_hires1

Taraji P. Henson was already a big deal before she nabbed Empire. Heck, she even already had an Oscar nomination. But it was playing Loretta “Cookie” Lyon that catapulted her into the rafters. Since the show wrapped in 2020, she’s done plenty of strong work, including playing nightclub performer Shug Avery in the new musical movie version of The Color Purple. But she could have had more post-Cookie, for which she blamed her (former) employees.

Per Deadline, in a recent sitdown with the SAG-AFTRA Foundation, the Golden Globe-winning actress was asked to name the best business decision she’s made thus far. She didn’t have to think too hard.

“Firing everybody after Cookie,” Henson replied. “Everybody had to f*ckin’ go. Where is my deal? Where’s my commercial? Cookie was at the top of the fashion game. Where is my endorsement? What did you have set up for after this? That’s why you all haven’t seen me in so long. They had nothing set up.”

Henson said the best her previous employees could come up with was her doing another Cookie-type character, which she he wasn’t against:

“All they wanted was another Cookie show, and I said, ‘I’ll do it, but it has to be right. The people deserve, she’s too beloved for y’all to f—k it up.’ And so, when they didn’t get it right, I was like, ‘Well, that’s it,’ and they had nothing else. ‘You’re all f*ckin’ fired.”

Henson may be extremely successful, but that doesn’t have problems with the industry. Indeed, earlier this month she unloaded to Gayle King about how she never seems to make any progress in terms of projects or pay worthy of her abilities.

“I’m just tired of working so hard, being gracious at what I do, getting paid a fraction of the cost,” Henson said after taking a long pause and breaking down. “I’m tired of hearing my sisters say the same thing over and over. You get tired. I hear people go, ‘You work a lot.’ I have to. The math ain’t math-ing. And you start working a lot, you have a team. Big bills come with what we do. We don’t do this alone. It’s a whole team behind us. They have to get paid.”

Music legend Mariah Carey has several No. 1 hits to her credit — 19, to be exact. But one song of hers has proven to stand the test of time. Each year, Carey’s 1994 classic “All I Want For Christmas Is You” surges in popularity around the holiday season. The song has proven to be a holiday standard over the 29 years since its original release, and each year, the song seems to break more and more records. This Christmas Eve, the song accomplished yet another milestone.

How many streams did Mariah Carey’s ‘All I Want For Christmas Is You’ have on Christmas Eve?

According to TMZ, “All I Want For Christmas Is You” was reportedly streamed 23,701,697 times this Christmas Eve. This remarkable feat apparently breaks the record for most Spotify streams in a single day on Christmas Eve.

Last year, Carey broke the record on Christmas Eve when the song was streamed 21,273,357 times.

Additionally, the song reached No. 1 on this week’s Billboard Hot 100, marking the song’s 14th non-consecutive week at the top of the chart.

While this holiday season is wrapping up, Carey took to Instagram to express her gratitude, and teased more looks to come throughout the week.

“Even though it is December 26, Christmas never ends for me (ha ha!),” she said in the post’s caption, “and I will keep sharing some of our festive moments from the past week with you!”

‘All American’ Season 6: An Info Update For The New Season (December 2023)

All American 514 Spencer Jordan
CW

Ladies and gentlemen, 2023 is days away from coming to an end and there are a bunch of things we’d love to see in 2024. One of those is new information on All American season six. This time last year, fans were pushing through a mid-season break for the show’s fifth season. This time around, they’re simply waiting on a start date for season six. Though information for the upcoming season is limited, here’s everything we know so far about All American season six.

Is There Going To Be An All American Season 6?

Yes, the series was renewed for a sixth season in January 2023. “Over the last five seasons, All American has established itself as one of the all-time CW flagship franchises,” Brad Schwartz, CW’s entertainment president, said in a statement via The Hollywood Reporter. “All American is not only the network’s youngest series, but also the strongest performer when combining all our platforms. We look forward to continuing our collaboration with showrunner Nkechi Okoro Carroll, [executive producers] Greg Berlanti, Sarah Schechter, the entire creative team and the incredible cast for another season of captivating family drama.”

When Does All American Season 6 Come Out?

There still isn’t an official date for All American season six, but the new season should be here sooner rather than later. The Hollywood Reporter previously said that CW aims for an April 2024 premiere date, but that has yet to be confirmed.

All American Season 6: Who Is In It?

Season six of All American will feature one absence: Taye Diggs as Coach Baker. Diggs’ character was killed off the show in a school bus accident in season five episode 12. Most recently, it was announced that Kamar de los Reyes, who played Coach Montes on the show, passed away on Christmas Eve following a battle with cancer. It is unknown at the moment if his death affected his scheduled presence in season six. All American showrunner Nkechi Okoro Carroll honored Reyes in a statement to Deadline, saying he “brought so much love, light and joy to the set every day, even during his final days.” She added, “He truly was a gift. One we will cherish forever.”

Aside from the aforementioned names, the cast for All American season six will remain the same. That includes Daniel Ezra as Spencer James, Bre-Z as Tamia “Coop” Cooper, Greta Onieogou as Layla Keating, Samantha Logan as Olivia Baker, Michael Evans Behling as Jordan Baker, Cody Christian as Asher Adams, Karimah Westbrook as Grace Jame.

There will also be Monét Mazur as Laura Fine-Baker, Jalyn Hall as Dillon James, Chelsea Tavares as Patience Robinson, Hunter Clowdus as JJ Parker, Mitchell Edwards as Cam Watkins, Simeon Daise as Jabari Long, Miya Horcher as Jaymee, and Morris Chestnut as Rick Barnes.

All American Season 6 Plot: What’s It About?

CW has yet to reveal the official synopsis for All American season six, but there are plenty of storylines from season five that will continue in season six. In the season five finale, we see Patience get stabbed by her stalker Miko in the Baker house all while Coop is on her way to confess her longstanding feelings to Patience. Spencer and Olivia’s long-awaited reconnection will finally begin in season six after he expresses his true feelings to Olivia in the season five finale.

Asher and Jaymee learn that they will be having a baby boy, and Jayme also learns that the ring in the beach house was not Asher’s, but rather, Jordan’s. He used it to propose to Layla who joyfully said yes after being at a loss for words.

There will be plenty of highs and lows in season six, especially as the group moves on from Coach Baker’s death, but you can be sure that all of it combined will be entertaining.

Is There An All American Season 6 Trailer?

A trailer for All American season six has not been released yet.

How To Watch All American Season 6

New episodes in season six of All American will premiere first on the CW television channel. They will then be available to watch on the CW app and website the following day. Later on, the season is expected to be uploaded to Netflix.

When Will All American Season 6 Episodes Come Out?

New episodes in All American season six are expected to air on Mondays at 8 pm ET/PT on the CW television channel. The following day, the new episodes will be available to watch on the CW website and app at 3 pm ET/12 am PT.

‘All American’ season 5 is now available to stream on Netflix.

Megan Thee Stallion Donned Holiday A Onesie To Give Fans The Gift Of A New Twerking Video For Christmas

Megan Thee Stallion has a lot to be thankful for this year, but in true Hot Girl fashion, rather than keeping it all to herself, she shared the bounty with her fans as she celebrated the holidays. Donning a holiday themed onesie, Meg delivered one last twerk video before the New Year, hiking up the short pants and putting all those boot camp workouts to good use on a Christmas Eve live stream. Naturally, fans showed their appreciation all over social media, but especially on Twitter, where fan accounts shared the video and generated plenty of hilariously thirsty responses.

She also spent some time inexplicably dunking on Spotify (which might have something to do with the miniscule royalty payouts the company is notorious for ofering):

Meg’s been much more active on Instagram lately, as she put two big legal dramas in her rearview mirror. Tory Lanez was sentenced to 10 years in prison for shooting her in the foot, while she and 1501 Certified Entertainment settled her record deal, allowing her to go independent (although she maintains distribution through Warner Music). Fans are looking forward to her next album, which she says is due next year. Her first single, “Cobra,” is out now.

For ‘Fargo’ Jon Hamm Rode A Horse That May Or May Not Have Been Named ‘Larry David’

Jon Hamm Fargo
FX

Jon Hamm is crushing it right now, which is great news for fans of Mad Men, a show that ended a bit under a decade ago. He could have coasted on the Don Draper vibes his whole life. Instead look at him now. He’s the new Fletch, he’s added a steroid injection to The Morning Show, and he’s even wearing (fake) nipple rings. Speaking of, he did that for the new season of Fargo, on which he’s a Trumpy sheriff. But did you know he also rides a horse? Whose name may or may not be Larry David?

In a new chat with Collider, the actor opens up about his equestrian history. “I’m very comfortable on horses,” he revealed. Granted, he’s not as horse-friendly as Sheriff Roy Tillman, his Fargo character, who he says grew up around horses and how “that’s something that very much informs his day-to-day existence.”

Still, having some history with horses helped him slip into the role. What’s more, the horse he rode (maybe) had a neato name, too.

“My horse’s name was Larry, which was also very cool,” Hamm said. “I thought his last name was David. That wasn’t confirmed to me. But I did tell Larry David that my horse’s name was Larry and he was very pleased about that.”

A horse named Larry David! Why didn’t the guy from America’s “A Horse with No Name” just call his horse that? Seems like a good horse name, even if that song was recorded a couple decades before Seinfeld, let alone Curb Your Enthusiasm.

Mind you, it doesn’t sound like the horse was really named Larry David. But as they said in John Ford’s The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance, “When the legend becomes fact, print the legend.” Ergo, Jon Hamm rode a horse named Larry David.

Spirit Airlines Magically Brought ‘Home Alone 2’ To Life By Putting A Kid On The Wrong Plane To The Wrong Destination

Even back in 1992, when air travel was a lot less TSA-heavy and stressful, it still seemed unlikely that a kid could pull a Home Alone 2, which is to say board the wrong plane, bound for the wrong destination. And yet some three decades later, when air travel is incredibly TSA-heavy and stressful, a young boy miraculously managed to go full Kevin McCallister.

Per CNN, an unaccompanied six-year-old boy at Philadelphia International Airport was supposed to fly to Fort Myers, in southwest Florida. Instead he was “incorrectly boarded” on a plane to Orlando. The airline, you might be wondering? Spirit Airlines.

This isn’t as egregious as in Home Alone 2, in which Macaulay Culkin’s sociopathic bad seed was supposed to fly from Chicago to Miami but instead wound up in pre-Giuliani New York City. For one thing, Orlando is a “mere” three-hour drive from Fort Myers.

For another, the gaffe was quickly caught by Spirit Airlines staff.

“The child was always under the care and supervision of a Spirit Team Member,” Spirit Airlines told CNN, “and as soon as we discovered the error, we took immediate steps to communicate with the family and reconnect them.”

After landing, the child called his grandmother, who had arrived at the Fort Myers airport and panicked when her grandson did not emerge. After the call, she drove the 160 miles to pick him up. The airline reimbursed her for her travel costs, if not her time.

For contrast, in Home Alone 2 no one realized that Kevin had boarded the wrong flight until everyone was on the ground. Kevin didn’t even realize he wasn’t in Miami till he saw the New York City skyline from the airport.

Spirit Airlines did not address how they put a six-year-old kid on the wrong plane. They’re conducting an internal investigation into how life, instead of being stranger than fiction, instead imitated it.

Until Spirit figures out how they brought the third highest-grossing picture of 1992 to life, please enjoy these tweets dragging them for their efforts.

Home Alone has been back in the news of late, not just because it’s the holidays but because a new New York Times report tried to figure out exactly how wealthy those neglectful McCallister parents really are.
