Vanessa Bryant On Kobe & Gianna, ‘This Pain Is Unimaginable, Must Push Forward’

Vanessa Bryant is opening up about her life after the deaths of Kobe and Gianna — admitting, “This pain is unimaginable [but] you just have to get up and push forward.” “Lying in bed crying isn’t going to change the fact that my family will never be the same again,” Vanessa told People.com … “But getting out of bed and pushing forward is going to make the day better for my girls and for me. So that’s what I do.” Vanessa has kept very busy in the year after Kobe and 13-year-old Gianna passed away in that tragic helicopter crash — taking the reigns on various projects Kobe had been working on in both entertainment and charity. She worked with author Ivy Claire to complete Kobe’s novel for young adults, “Epoca: The River of Sand” — which dropped back in December. And, she’s been a force with Kobe’s non-profit organization — relaunching it as the Mamba & Mambacita Sports Foundation, with the mission of helping “underserved athletes and women in sports.” Vanessa says Kobe and Gianna serve as her inspiration to “keep going” — “They inspire me to try harder and be better every day. Their love is unconditional and they motivate me in so many different ways.” Now, as Vanessa moves forward with her 3 daughters — 18-year-old Natalia, 4-year-old Bianka and 1-year-old Capri — she leans on her family to “give me strength.” “My girls help me smile through the pain.” Read Full Article

Most Celeb-Owned Texas Businesses Are Breaking From Gov. Abbot on Masking

Celebrities who own businesses in Texas aren’t ditching mask mandates and COVID safety protocols just because Gov. Greg Abbott says it’s now cool to do so … but there’s a notable outlier. Gov. Abbott lifted Texas’ statewide mask mandate Tuesday and allowed businesses to go back to full capacity, so we contacted joints with celeb connections to see if they were following suit … and most told us they’re NOT on the same page as the Guv. Gwyneth Paltrow’s folks at Blo Blow Dry Bar tell us there are still concerns about the ongoing pandemic and the biz will continue insisting clients wear masks and follow all other safety measures that were already in place. A bunch of restaurants — Pat Green’s The Rustic, Guy Fieri’s Guy’s Taco Joint and Pudge Rodriguez’s Pudge’s Pizza — tell us they will continue to follow all COVID protocols. Meanwhile, at the state’s Rock & Brews locations, owned by KISS, customers will have the option to mask up … and there will no longer be capacity limits. Over at Buddy Valastro’s bakeries, we’re told there’s been no final decision on going with or against Gov. Abbott … so masks are still required in the meantime. Randy Rogers is playing a different tune … he’s partnered with ChopShop Live, and the restaurant will follow Abbott’s lead and stop requiring masks or other COVID safety protocols. Read Full Article

American Independent Party Plans to Nominate Trump in 2024, If He Runs

Donald Trump’s got a home outside the GOP if they ditch him in 2024 — namely the American Independent Party … which says he’s their guy, assuming he runs for POTUS again. AIP chairman Markham Robinson tells us he and his party cohorts are dead set on nominating Trump to head up their ticket for the next presidential race … that is, if Trump decides to have another go at it. There’s still a lot of time to see how things officially play out, but Markham made clear he and the AIP leaders were more than enthusiastic at Trump’s apparent desire to stay in politics, which he strongly hinted at during his CPAC speech this past weekend. In Markham’s eyes, DT is the perfect guy to lead their party — for starters, they’re notoriously far-right … and support a limited role in government, tax cuts and are pro-life. Just take a look at his MAGA supporters … and you can see how some see it as a good fit. The American Independent Party’s first presidential nominee was segregationist George Wallace. Another segregationist, Lester Maddox was also the party’s standard-bearer in the ’70s. Of course, the AIP also nominated Trump and Pence in 2016 — which Republicans obviously didn’t support, especially in California … the only place they’re currently recognized on the ballot. Markham says they’re working on expanding their reach nationwide, hopefully in time for 2024. As for whether Trump himself wants any part of Markham and Co. … probably not. He was firm in his remarks at CPAC about sticking with the GOP, saying he wasn’t jumping ship to start his own thing. Presumably, that means he ain’t itching to run over to the AIP either. We’ve seen this before with these guys … they can nominate whoever the hell they want, even if that person doesn’t publicly agree or acknowledge. Just ask Kanye about that … Still, the AIP is there for Trump if Republicans go with another guy (or gal) in 4 years. Always good to have a backup option, right??? Read Full Article

Breonna Taylor’s Mom Thankful Students Stood Up to Georgia Teacher

Breonna Taylor’s mother is hurt and troubled by a Georgia teacher spreading lies about her daughter’s death, but also deeply appreciates the students who pushed back. Tamika Palmer’s attorney, Sam Aguiar, tells TMZ his client saw the video of the Zoom class where Pebblebrook High’s Susan McCoy told students Breonna’s death was her own fault … and spread misinformation about the case. We’re told it was disturbing for Tamika to witness, and troubling in that the real facts still aren’t quite understood by all … and that a twisted version of it is being forced onto youths by educators. The one upside … the kids themselves, whom Aguiar says Tamika was proud of as they spoke out against McCoy in real-time and fired back with the truth — namely that Breonna was NOT with a man wanted on charges, but with her current BF at the time, Kenneth Walker. Of course, you’ve heard the rest … Louisville cops insist they knocked and made their presence known before entering. Walker, however, claims the exact opposite … saying he thought burglars were entering their home. He says he fired in self-defense, at which point the officers fired back … killing Breonna in the crossfire. The students in McCoy’s class made that known, and for that … we’re told Tamika is grateful, especially as BT’s death anniversary looms on March 13. No word on what Tamika would like to see happen to McCoy, but school district officials say they’re reviewing the matter and weighing their options. Ms. McCoy has since apologized for her remarks, calling them ignorant. Read Full Article

Tyrod Taylor Says He’s 100% After Punctured Lung Mishap, Ready For Free Agency

Tyrod Taylor says the punctured lung he suffered before a game last September has NOT had any lasting impact on his health … and now, he tells TMZ Sports he’s ready for free agency. You’ll recall … Taylor was the starting QB for the Chargers until Sept. 20 — when team doctors botched a painkiller injection and injured his lung just minutes before kickoff against the Chiefs. 31-year-old Taylor was rushed to the hospital … but the injury put him out for so long, star rookie Justin Herbert took the signal-caller reins and never gave them back. It was unclear if Taylor was dealing with any long-term damage from the injury … but when we got the QB out in West Hollywood on Tuesday, he told us he’s 100% good to go. “Everything good,” Taylor said … adding, “I’m healthy, bro!” As for his football future, Taylor’s a free agent this offseason … and when he talked to us outside of Toast in WeHo, he didn’t appear to be a man gearing up to head back to the Bolts. But, Tyrod did say he won’t be picky when it comes to his next football destination … saying, “I’m ready either way.” “Wherever God takes me, bro,” Taylor said. “Wherever God takes me.” Read Full Article

Mamie Van Doren ‘Memba Her?!

Hollywood sex symbol Mamie Van Doren was in her ’20s when she became a household name — with her platinum blonde hairdo and provocative figure — MVD could be spotted on a long list of classic films in the ’50s and ’60s … most notably her roles as Peggy DeFore in “Teacher’s Pet,” Jackie Adams in “Born Reckless” and Silver Morgan in “Girls Town.” Mamie shared the big screen with some serious A-list actors during her career including Tony Curtis in the 1953 film “All American,” Mickey Rooney in “The Big Operator,” Clark Gable in “Teacher’s Pet” and Clint Eastwood in “Star in the Dust.” Guess what Mamie Van Doren looks like now in her 90s!

Creighton Basketball Coach Greg McDermott ‘Deeply Sorry’ For Using ‘Plantation’ Analogy

Greg McDermott — head coach of the 14th ranked Creighton University men’s basketball team — is pleading for forgiveness days after using the word “plantation” in a post-game speech. Follow Creighton’s 77-69 loss to Xavier on Saturday, McDermott admits he made the following statement to his squad … “Guys, we got to stick together. We need both feet in. I need everybody to stay on the plantation. I can’t have anybody leave the plantation.” Yeah … not a good look. Now, McDermott — head coach at CU since 2010 and dad of NBA player Doug McDermott — is apologizing for the “terribly inappropriate analogy” in a statement posted on his social media page. “On February 27th, after an emotionally tough loss on the road, I addressed our student-athletes and staff in the postgame locker room and used a terribly inappropriate analogy in making a point about staying together as a team despite the loss.” That’s when McDermott says he uttered the racially insensitive analogy. The head coach says he knew right away that he screwed up. “I immediately recognized my egregious mistake and quickly addressed my use of such insensitive words with the team. I have never used that analogy and it is not indicative of who I am as a person or as a coach.” “I am deeply sorry. I have apologized to our student-athletes and to our staff, as well as to President Hendrickson and Director of Athletics Bruce Rasmussen.” Creighton’s — currently 2nd place in the Bi East — has had a great year on the floor … with wins over teams like Villanova and Seton Hall. McDermott will lead the Bluejays into the NCAA Tourney later this month. Read Full Article

Houston Rockets Will Retire James Harden’s #13 Jersey, Team Owner Says

James Harden’s jersey will hang alongside Hakeem, Drexler and Yao Ming’s one day … with Houston Rockets owner Tilman Fertitta announcing the team will “absolutely” retire its former superstar’s #13 in the future. Of course, the two sides had a nasty, public breakup earlier this season … with the former MVP forcing a trade out of H-Town. But, Fertitta is considering it water under the bridge … telling the Houston Chronicle the Rockets WILL recognize the Brooklyn Nets guard with the highest honor eventually. “James Harden will always be a Rocket,” Fertitta said Tuesday. “Of course, we will retire his jersey. He made my first three years of owning this franchise unforgettable.” “The success he brought this franchise over eight years and the memories he created for our fan base/community (are) truly remarkable.” There’s no debating Harden was one of the best players in the league during his 8+ seasons in Houston — he had 3 scoring titles, 6 1st Team All-NBA nods and an MVP in 2018. The 31-year-old led the Rockets to the playoffs each season with the Rockets … making it to the Western Conference Finals twice. Harden will become the franchise’s 7th player to receive the honor when it happens. Harden will make his first return to Houston as a member of the Nets on Wednesday … and while fans may still be pissed at how things played out, it’s clear the team is ready to make peace.

Grindr Founder Joel Simkhai Buys Incredible NYC Penthouse

Grindr founder Joel Simkhai just matched with the perfect penthouse … scooping up a beaut in NYC’s Gramercy Park. Joel’s reportedly the proud new owner of a 7,000-square-foot penthouse with 5 bedrooms and 6.5 bathrooms … but the crown jewel’s definitely the gigantic private, landscaped roof terrace that, on its own, is a whopping 5,680 square feet. As if things couldn’t get any better up there … the terrace also includes a full outdoor kitchen, BBQ grill, wet bar, fireplace and lounge. When the party moves back inside, the unit features 18-foot ceilings and a kitchen worthy of any celeb chef. There are other amenities … like a gym, spa and pool. It’s unclear how much cheddar Joel dropped for this pad … but the penthouse’s asking price was a cool $29.5 million. Pretty sure Joel can afford it … he sold Grindr in 2008 for $245m.

Joe Exotic Hires Attorney Who Repped Family of Don Lewis

Joe Exotic is getting the best revenge he can against Carole Baskin — hiring the attorney who recently repped the family of her missing husband … who’s now working to free him. John M. Phillips of the Phillips & Hunt firm broke the news Tuesday, saying he’d been retained by the ‘Tiger King’ himself in a bid to get a new trial arranged so Joe can plead his case in front of a new set of 12 jurors. Phillips writes, “Work has already begun on @joe_exotic’s New Trial Motion. We are proud to be leading his team. I was sworn into the Western District of Oklahoma this morning. This isn’t about tigers, television or tomfoolery, it’s about justice and evidence. More soon.” He also posted a video … which took some shots at Joe’s former legal team, who Phillips characterized as engaging in “buffoonery” in their bid to get JE pardoned by Prez Trump. Doesn’t sound like Joe disagrees — at least that’s how Phillips makes it sound. He says shortly after the failed attempt, the man himself reached out and asked about his services. One thing led to another, and now Phillips is on the case — and he ain’t looking to Joe Biden for a bail-out either. Remember, Phillips was also brought on by Don Lewis’ surviving family members — who seem to believe Carole knows more about his mysterious vanishing than she’s let on. They even bought air time during her debut appearance on ‘DWTS’ which aired mid-broadcast. Of course, she’s denied she knows anything about Don’s whereabouts — and she’s never been charged in connection to the case. Still, gotta wonder how she feels about this … Read Full Article
