The race for the final two Champions League spots in the Bundesliga this year has been sensational. Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund are almost certainly clinching two of Germany’s four spots in Europe’s top continental club tournament, while RB Leipzig, Union Berlin, and SC Freiburg are all jostling for third and fourth.

Saturday offered up a gigantic opportunity for Union Berlin and Freiburg, as the two clubs squared off in Berlin. The home side managed to take a 3-0 lead into the dressing room thanks to an early goal by Kevin Behrens and a first-half brace by Sheraldo Becker, who celebrated the first of his two strikes by pulling out a Spider-Man mask that he apparently had with him the entire game up to that point, throwing it on, and doing his signature celebration where he drops down to a knee and pretends to shoot webs out of his hands.

“The celebration is for my kids,” Becker has said about the celebration in the past. “They simply love it when I score and celebrate like that.”

In addition to his two goals — his 12th and 13th of the campaign — Becker assisted Behrens on the opener. It’s not a bad day at the office, especially considering that he got to wear a superhero mask at work.

Charlize Theron has three Oscar nominations (and one win) under her belt, and one of them is for playing, of all people, Megyn Kelly. (That’s not the one she won for.) In Bombshell, the actress was terrifyingly transformed into the former Fox News host, who was one of many female staffers sexually harassed by the network’s former honcho, Roger Ailes. Did that make Kelly a Theron stan for life? Apparently not, because now she’s challenging her to a fight.

Theron was one of a number of celebrities who participated in the recent Drag Isn’t Dangerous telethon, which aimed to push back against the ridiculous far right campaign against drag queens doing shows for kids. During it, Theron gave one of the more passionate rally calls.

“We love you queens. We’re in your corner and we’ve got you, and I will f*ck anybody up who’s trying to f*ck with anything with you guys,” Theron said.

On her show SiriusXM show Friday, Kelly played the clip in full, but was not moved. On the contrary, she took up Theron’s dare.

“Okay, so why doesn’t Charlize Theron come and f*ck me up? Because I’m 100% against her on this,” Kelly thundered.

Kelly went on to parrot claims that drag shows for kids have included “sexual behavior, and like sexual references, just sexualization in front of children too young,” and accused them of “grooming.” She did acknowledge the elephant in the room, saying, “I feel like I have some weird connection with this person because she played me in a movie.”

During her telethon appearance, Theron mounted a fervent defense of drag shows. “There are so many things that are hurting and, really, killing our kids, and we all know what I’m talking about right now and it ain’t no drag queen,” she said. “Because if you’ve ever seen a drag queen lip-sync for her life, it only makes you happier, it only make you love more, it makes you a better person.”

Theron has not yet responded to Kelly’s dare, but surely it’s not a good idea to mess with Furiosa. In the meantime, at least Kelly recently scored an awkward selfie with another Bombshell star, Margot Robbie.

An 18-year-old man who was charged in the 2020 shooting of rapper Pop Smoke has admitted to killing him in a juvenile court hearing, according to a report from Los Angeles Times.

The hearing took place this past Friday (May 12), wherein the 18-year-old also admitted to home-invasion robbery along with allegations that he personally and intentionally discharged a firearm at the time. The man was 15 years old at the time, and is reportedly expected to serve time in a state juvenile facility until he turns 25.

During the hearing, L.A. County Superior Court Judge J. Christopher Smith told the 18-year-old and his 19-year-old co-defendant that Pop Smoke, whose real name was Bashar Jackson, “lost his life over no good reason.” The judge has issued an order for the names of the defendants who were minors at the time to be withheld.

“You have no right to take somebody’s life. You have no right to take somebody’s property,” Smith said, per City News Service.

Additionally, three other people were charged in the killing of Pop Smoke during the hearing, according to the Associated Press. A teenager, whose name was also ordered to be withheld by the media, as well as Corey Walker, who was 19 at the time, and Keandre Rodgers, who was then 18, were charged with murder during the commission of a robbery and burglary.

Earlier on Friday evening, Dennis Schröder got a technical foul for an incident with Draymond Green in which Green hit the deck and Schröder decided to stand over him and laugh. It was a bit harsh, but it was the kind of thing that will almost always get a guy T’d up in a basketball game.

Fast forward to the third quarter and a second incident involving the two players led to a pair of technical fouls getting assessed, which meant that Schröder’s night came to a premature end. Anthony Davis converted an alley-oop by LeBron James, then stole the ensuing inbounds pass, which led to Green fouling him to prevent a second dunk in about three seconds.

Schröder went over to Green and flexed a little, and in return, Green did not appear to do anything other than take the basketball that was in his hands and put it right up against Schröder’s lips. He held it there for a few seconds before a ref came in and issued a single technical foul to Schröder.

It was eventually determined that Green would also get a technical foul for this, but not until after Schröder made his way into the locker room to watch the rest of the game.

The Los Angeles Lakers took a 10-point lead into halftime of Game 6 in their Western Conference Semifinal series against the Golden State Warriors. While it looked like they weren’t going to have a double-digit cushion heading into the break, a heads-up defensive play by Anthony Davis beget a halfcourt buzzer-beater by Austin Reaves that sent the fans at Crypto.com Arena into a frenzy and gave them a 56-46 cushion.

Klay Thompson airballed a three, but the ball landed in front of Donte DiVincenzo. Unfortunately for the former Villanova star, Davis was standing right there and swatted his attempt away. After Reaves was able to corral the ball with about three seconds left before the break, the former second-round pick took two dribbles, launched from halfcourt, and made it.

Reaves had an excellent first half in Game 6, as he scored 13 points with three assists and three rebounds. Los Angeles is looking to knock off the defending champions and avoid having to go back to San Francisco, where the two sides would play a winner-take-all game with a spot in the Western Conference Finals on the line. Whichever team ends up winning this series will end up taking on the Denver Nuggets, which punched their ticket to the next round on Thursday night.

A rumored new photo of Ice Spice posing with her mom back in 2021 is making the rounds online, as many users are shocked by not only how much they look alike, but are also making jokes about how hot she is.

“I’m not the step dad I’m just the dad that stepped up,” one user joked.

“Damn!!! There’s some good genes there,” added another.

Meanwhile, some even had trouble completely spotting the difference, as Ice Spice didn’t have her signature orangish hair in the photo.

“What’s impressive is it took my brain a second to pick out which one was ice spice lol good for her mom,” someone said.

According to HipHopDX, Ice Spice and her mom are seventeen years apart in age, which should place her around forty years old. She is also reportedly of Dominican descent. Not much else is known about her currently. However, as Ice Spice’s fame grows, it’s likely more will be — including this alleged photo being just one example.

Ice Spice (aka Isis Gaston) was born on January 1 of 2000 in NYC and has been raised there since. Her parents also separated when she was two, according to Freshers Live.

The Los Angeles Lakers entered Friday night needing a win to earn a spot in the Western Conference Finals. While the game was taking place in their own building, the task ahead of them was a formidable one, as they needed to beat the defending champion Golden State Warriors if they wanted to secure a berth in the next round.

Tensions are always high in these sorts of environments, and at one point in the first quarter, a technical foul ended up getting assessed to Dennis Schröder, who was inserted into the starting lineup on Friday night after coming off of the bench in every game this postseason. The reason: He stood over Draymond Green while he was on the ground and taunted him.

There was some contact between Green and Schröder after LeBron James passed Green off to his teammate so he could guard Steph Curry, and while Green looked like he embellished a little, Schröder seemed very happy to stand right over him and bend down a bit while Green was getting up.

Schröder was smiling and laughing the whole time, and seemed like he was a little surprised when the referees hit him with a tech.

The New York Knicks’ season came to an end on Friday night in Miami. Despite racing out of the gates and leading by as many as 14 points in the first quarter, New York was unable to beat the Heat in their building, as Jimmy Butler and co. punched their ticket to the Eastern Conference Finals with a 96-92 win.

The Knicks kept getting close in the fourth quarter but never found themselves able to wrest the lead away from Miami. With less than a minute remaining and New York trailing by six, they needed a miracle that somehow came, as Gabe Vincent inadvertently clocked Jalen Brunson while the Heat were trying to inbound the ball, which was given as a Flagrant 1.

After Brunson made both free throws and Josh Hart scored on the ensuing possession, New York needed a stop to get the ball back with a chance to tie. They got it, gave the ball to Brunson, and let him take it up the floor. He got himself into some trouble by dribbling into the corner, where he was trapped by Jimmy Butler and Max Strus.

With a pass to Hart a little too risky, Brunson tried dumping it off to a cutting Julius Randle. But the ball was unable to get to him, as Miami forced a turnover that let them seal a win.

It is a brutal way for this game to end for Brunson, as he was nothing short of magnificent on the night — the team’s prized offseason acquisition had 41 points on 14-for-22 shooting with four rebounds and three assists in 45 minutes of work. He’s almost certainly the main reason the future’s so bright in New York, but his final moment during his debut season in the Big Apple is one he’s going to want back.

When Lana Del Rey dropped her recent album, Did You Know That There’s A Tunnel Under Ocean Blvd, fans immediately were interested in the meaning behind the song, “Margaret.” Del Rey had written it about her friend and collaborator, Jack Antonoff, and particularly his fiancée Margaret Qualley.

One line also caught some people’s attention, as Del Rey sings, “I mean, join the party / By the way, the party is Dec. 18.” This led to possible speculation that Antonoff and Qualley were either 1. already married or 2. were planning that date as their eventual wedding.”

However, Qualley did a new interview with the Los Angeles Times, where she confirmed that December 18 was not her planned wedding date.

“I am not,” Qualley said. “[Lana] was kind enough to not put my real wedding date in the song. But I love that song so much. It makes me feel like I’m living in a dream. She’s my favorite poet. I adore her.”

Antonoff has also shared a similar sentiment about the song, while on stage as the two performed it during a concert for his band Bleachers. “One day I met Lana in the studio in California, and she said, ‘Let’s write a song about your fiancée,’ and I said ‘Okay,’ and I thought she was joking, and she wasn’t,” he said.

Here’s hoping we find out what party is ever happening.
