Larsa Pippen harassed for her relationship with Michael Jordan’s son

Larsa Pippen, Scottie’s ex who needs no introduction, was booed during a duel between the Los Angeles Chargers and Kansas City Chiefs.

The 48-year-old was approached in a heated manner by a spectator, who recognized Larsa and Michael Jordan‘s son, Marcus.

This Chargers fan was not shy about sending Ms. Larsa packing.

Larsa’s response was to smile and continue the support she was offering the Chargers that day.

Recall that while Jordan Jr. and Larsa have been seen together on several occasions, including one just recently, cozied up on a beach, Larsa continues to maintain that they are just friends.

She is single and wants to meet people, but in public, we feel Larsa’s discomfort when she is with Marcus, most likely because of the bickering between Scottie and Michael… or the age difference.

This is the oldest cat in the world

The Guinness World Records presented Flossie, the oldest cat in the world, who is 27 years old, which gives about 120 years in human age.

The cat in question is a female of British origin, she is brown and black in color, and despite being visually impaired and practically deaf, her health is very good.

The cat’s new owner, Vicki Green, spoke fondly of Flossie:

“I knew from the start that Flossie was a special cat, but I never imagined that I would be sharing my home with a world record holder! She is so affectionate and playful, which is especially sweet when you remember her age. I am immensely proud that Cats Protection found me such an amazing cat!”

Mrs. Green is not the first owner as Flossie has been in several homes since she was born in 1995, including a stray kitten. After that, she spent 10 years with another person, and when that person passed away four years later, she spent three years with the son of the second owner… ending up with Cats Protection and Vicki Green.

From here, will Flossie be able to break the all-time longevity record of a 38 year and three day old cat named Crème Puff who passed away on August 6, 2005?

A $300M offer for Cristiano Ronaldo!

Cristiano Ronaldo (PRT) warms up prior to the UEFA Nations League, 5th round, A2 group, match Czech Republic vs Portugal played in Prague, Czech Republic, on Saturday, September 24, 2022. (CTK Photo/Michal Kamaryt) Where: Prague, Czech Republic When: 24 Sep 2022 Credit: CTK/Cover Images **CZECH REPUBLIC OUT,SLOVAKIA OUT**

After his recent departure from Manchester United, Cristiano Ronaldo received a monstrous offer of 173 million pounds (279M$ Canadian) per year from the Saudi club Al Nassr.

This proposal offers the new free agent the possibility of becoming the highest paid sportsman in the history of sport.

However, according to information delivered by SunSport, Ronaldo would have declined this proposal because he still wants to play in the Champions League. He would have spit on this mountain of cash!

Ronaldo has also revealed his refusal to join a team in Saudi Arabia, which offered him 3 million pounds per week, last summer. We can therefore certify that there is not only money that motivates the 37-year-old star.

Inter Miami, an MLS club owned by David Beckham, would also like to hire Ronaldo. It is known that MLS is a league that welcomes players of this caliber once their career in Europe is slowed down due to the “age” factor.

No matter. For now, Cristiano Ronaldo’s priority was to attend the FIFA World Cup in Qatar with Portugal.

Leonardo DiCaprio back to his old habits

Leonardo DiCaprio spent the night in the VIP section of a nightclub surrounded by models, but without Gigi Hadid!

DiCaprio and several celebrities, including Sylvester Stallone and Pharrell Williams, as well as major art collectors, were in Miami for a VIP event at Art Basel Miami Beach.

According to Page Six, while Leo, 48, was very interested in some of the art creations during the day, it was more towards pretty and young models that his attention turned to after dark.

The actor again tried to be quiet by pulling out his classic Yankees cap, an approach that doesn’t work as demonstrated several days ago, but soon found himself surrounded by a large crowd!

“People in the VIP area […] were trying to get close to Leo,” says a source.

The absence of his unofficial girlfriend, Gigi Hadid, was however noticed by at least one source present at the party.

It must be said that Leo and Gigi have been in the news for the past few weeks, but it seems that the star of The Revenant and Don’t Look Up is back to his old habits!

Remember that Leonardo DiCaprio broke up with his other former girlfriend, Camila Morrone, who had just celebrated her 25th birthday, just before dating Gigi Hadid.

Whew!

Metallica back at the Olympic Stadium!

Cover Images

The mythical band Metallica will launch its 11th album on April 14th and it will be called 72 Seasons.

A first track entitled Lux Æterna has been dropped on this Monday (November 28th), and it is very striking.

On top of that, the metal band that has been rolling its hump since the 80’s has announced that it will offer two shows at the Olympic Stadium in Montreal, on August 11th and 13th!

Let’s remember that 30 years ago, on August 8, 1992, Metallica was at the Olympic Stadium with Guns N’ Roses and that this concert marked the imagination of the fans and the history of rock in Quebec.

The pyrotechnic incident that burned James Hetfield and the attitude of Axl Rose, who suddenly stopped the performance of Guns N’ Roses, had even caused a riot in Montreal!

In addition to these two concerts in Montreal, Metallica will be in Amsterdam, Mexico City, Munich, Warsaw and Madrid, and will return to Canada in 2024, near Edmonton.

Note that Pantera will be opening for the show scheduled on August 11.
