As the NBA campaign gets underway on Oct. 18 for the Los Angeles Lakers, LeBron James has had his entire head shaved!

With this haircut, he looks even more like Michael “Air” Jordan, who was quick to shave his head during his NBA debut.

King James, who has worn the number 6 since last season, leaving his number 23 behind, will still wear his big, full beard for the 2022-23 campaign though!

James delivered a very inspiring message via his Instagram account last week, certainly inspiring many.

Aaron Judge in Babe Ruth and Roger Maris’ company

Aaron Judge got his 60th homer Tuesday night against the Pittsburgh Pirates, making him the sixth player in MLB history to reach that insane plateau.

The gentle giant wearing the number 99, a rare occurrence in Major League Baseball, allowed himself to get to Babe Ruth and Roger Maris, two of the greatest in MLB’s storied history.

Ruth, also with the New York Yankees in 1927, was the first to slam 60 bombs in the Majors, with much less “straight” bats than today.

As for Maris, he broke Babe’s record with a total of 61 home runs, slammed with the New York Yankees in 1962, taking first place (in the American League).

So Judge has time to outpace BIG Maris as the Yankees have 15 games left on the regular schedule. If the trend continues, Judge could become the most powerful hitter in American League history.

This is quite a feat, as Maris’ record is already 60 years old. Baseball fans are in for a great story as a piece of history is being made.

In the National League, Barry Bonds (73), Mark McGwire (70) and Sammy Sosa (66) are at the top of the list with arms the size of trees.

However, they were among the names in the Mitchell Report, which revealed the massive use of performance drugs in the MLB.

Dr. Dre opens up about his brain aneurysm

In January 2021, Dr. Dre suffered a brain aneurysm, and it was much scarier than he initially let on.

It was so bad, that his family, including Eminem and Snoop Dogg, gathered in the hospital room where he was staying to say their final goodbyes to the rap legend.

Doctors told the family that the chances of Dre making it through the night were slim. The doctors had to wake him up every hour to take his vital signs because they were really worried about the state of the “doctor” of beats.

In the end, Dre miraculously pulled through.

He was back in the studio a month later!

Then, a year later, he produced and rapped at the Super Bowl halftime in Los Angeles.

Mark Wahlberg’s kids “terribly embarrassed” by his old style

In the early ’90s, Mark Wahlberg wore his Marky Mark style, then his children, seeing the father so, are very embarrassed about the whole thing, according to the actor.

It was to Entertainment Tonight that the 51-year-old star admitted this fact about his children in the face of his particular style of dress and his Marky Mark era.

“Oh, they are terribly embarrassed about it,” Mark Wahlberg said without hesitation.

Recall that in the ’90s, he acted as the leader of the hip-hop group Marky Mark and the Funky Bunch, when he wore low-rise jeans, a backwards baseball cap and often no shirt.

However, despite their mockery, his children seem to be moving toward a similar look!

“My son, the whole time we were on summer vacation (…) He totally stole that look.”

Even his 18-year-old daughter pays tribute to him!

“She bought a Marky Mark and the Funky Bunch T-shirt at a vintage store, and she wears it all the time!”

These say they are terribly embarrassed, but are nonetheless proud to pay homage to the daddy, it seems, a behavior many parents will recognize!

Drake breaks an old Beatles record

Drake recently became the artist with the most songs in the Top 5 most popular songs on Billboard, not to mention that this Beatles record has held up for 55 years!

To highlight this colossal feat, Drake dropped a post via his Instagram account.

https://www.instagram.com/p/ChTclfvOmI6/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link

“Ok I broke my records for the month”, Drake said.

The Toronto rapper now owns the record thanks to Staying Alive, which helped him reach the Top 5 on the Billboard charts for the 30th time in his career, beating out The Beatles (29 songs).

Let’s say one thing about this record though, in the Beatles’ era, there was no platform like there is now, which shows how dominant the quartet was.

Wayne Gretzky sued for chewing gum!

Wayne Gretzky is said to have told a lie about his weight loss, stating that he achieved this feat by chewing gum, having lost 35 pounds in two months thanks to a chewing product.

Steven Sparks, the creator of this gum, named OMG gum, claims that he did not know that Gretzky was lying, and therefore reinvested money and services in the company, reports TMZ.

The former No. 99 finally admitted that his talk about his weight loss was misleading, which significantly affected Sparks’ finances, he alleges.

Sparks is suing Gretzky for $10 million.

Wayne’s wife, Janet, was originally hired as a spokesperson for the gum.

Sparks also alleges that Gretzky lied to boost the company’s stock, and quietly bought it in his family’s name before selling it, a much more serious allegation.

Announcing his retirement as an athlete, “you’re never ready for that,” Lemieux says on Salut Bonjour Weekend.

“I was never ready to announce such a decision, it was a big surprise even for me. It’s never easy to prepare to make such an announcement. It’s hard to talk about it. In our heads, we still think we are the best boxer (…). We looked at the pros and cons and the cons were stronger,” he said.

Of course, during the interview, Lemieux answered the question about his current feelings about his father’s death:

“It’s atrocious, human beings can be cruel (…). I have a family to protect and I have to be an example,” he said.

Lemieux was in control of his emotions during the interview, answering questions in a frank and detailed manner.

LeBron James and Savannah get a unique tattoo

LeBron James and his wife Savannah added a tattoo to their skin, more precisely on their hands, to represent their three children, Bronny, Bryce and Zhuri.

So we find the initials B.B.Z. on the hands of the lovebirds, then the work was made by the famous tattoo artist Ganga Tattoo.

Screenshot Instagram

Ganga also made the first tattoo of Bronny, the eldest of the family.

The James family is a close-knit one, having spent a lot of quality time together this summer, so we can totally understand the King being so emotional about seeing his two fistons play together recently in Europe.

“I am literally watching Bronny and Bryce on the court together for the first time in a game situation. This is CRAZY!!!” said James via his Twitter account
