So apparently Spike Lee is going to live until he’s a hundred and fifty years old waiting for the Knicks to win the championship before he passes.

Spike Lee needs to make that Jackie Robinson film even if he has to rewrite the script . Do the right thing and just do it … next year is the 50th anniversary of his death .

Doesn’t it matter if Denzel Washington is too old because there are plenty of talented people out there who actually look more like the legend . Would be a wonderful gift for Mrs. Robinson while she’s still alive .

LAVISHLY DEMURE

Las Vegas Aces superstar A’ja Wilson shows us what’s inside her Labubu-laden Louis Vuitton bag. The WNBA MVP always carries two pairs of glasses, depending on what the occasion calls for, and pulls out her favorite snack, a bag of Sour Patch Kids. The most meaningful item in A’ja’s bag is her late grandmother’s coin purse, which she now uses to carry her ID cards. “I don’t put coins in it because my heart’s in it.”
