10 Top Celebrity Ranked Sports Fans

1. Spike Lee

The Do The Right Thing producer/director has been part of the Knicks’ sidelines for so long that he’s seemingly part of the game at times. Sure, that can get a bit annoying. But why bother arguing with the officials when a famous director will do it for you? And it’s not just games. Lee even finds his way into press conferences at times, which might be a little strange, but is a greater length than some of the most dedicated fans would ever go to.

2. Jack Nicholson

Points for: Also will argue with officials and being synonymous with the Lakers’ sideline for decades.

Negatives? Once joked in frustration about giving away his tickets in the middle of a rough season.

3. Ashley Judd

She’s a frequent and loud presence in the stands of Kentucky basketball games and — at least according to her social media — does a decent job of keeping up with the team during the off-season.

4. Billy Crystal

Yes, times have gotten a bit better. But we’ll leave you with this from a 2006 New York Times article.

The Clippers are mostly young andunder contract, and they could be better than the Lakers for several more years. But that will still not change certain realities.

“This will always be a Laker town,” Crystal said. “We’re going to the second round of the playoffs, but look what’s up there.”

He pointed to the 14 Lakers championship banners and seven retired Lakers jerseys in the rafters. There are also banners for the city’s WNBA, NHL and Arena Football League teams.

It was suggested that the Clippers could raise a banner commemorating their first-round victory.

“Put something up there,” Crystal replied. “Staple a piece of matzo with a Clipper on it, something.”

That’s right. Billy Crystal is famous enough to be able to score tickets at a Lakers game likely any time he wants. But he chose the Clippers — even before they showed any glimmer of hope.

5. 2 Chainz

The Hawks even made him CEO for a day.

6 (tie). Usher

Such a fan of the Cavaliers that he’s a part-owner of the team.

6 (tie). Justin Timberlake

Same as Usher.

7. Drake

Look, Drake is a far from perfect fan. He hangs out with the other team. His heckling just gets him strange looks from opponents. He doesn’t show up to games as regularly as he perhaps should. But in the end, there’s no bigger profile fan of late than the musician who not only is a fan as a job with the Raptors but also is foolish enough to wear Kentucky t-shirts into a Texas locker room.

8. Jerry Seinfeld

He’ll even visit the broadcast booth sometimes.

9. Bill Murray

Bill Murray is the sports fan and owner we can only hope to be one day.

10. Will Ferrell

We present to you, the time he put his life on the line for his team:

How Floyd Mayweather Spent $500,000 In One NYC Afternoon

They don't call him "Money" for nothing.

Since beating Manny Pacquiao by unanimous decision just under a month ago world welterweight boxing champ Floyd Mayweather's certainly been living up to his nickname. This weekend, the man they call "Money" Mayweather hit Manhattan's Diamond District to shell out an estimated $500,000 on jewelry.

Fresh off of a $200 million payout on his recent win, Mayweather's first stop on his lavish shopping spree was the Flawless Jewelry & Timepieces kiosk on the corner of New York's Sixth Avenue, where he reportedly dropped "hundreds of thousands of dollars" on blinged out watches. Next, he headed down the street to Pristine Jewelers to cop a Cuban-link yellow-gold necklace and a diamond chain for a reported $90,000 combined, scratching them off a detailed shopping list that also appeared to mention two $15,000 watches under the heading "Floyd."

Following his insane shopping spree, Mayweather told the New York Post, "I love the whole world!" Whether his love for planet Earth is reciprocated or not (it's probably not), one thing is sure: Floyd Mayweather will keep laughing all the way to the bank.

Vanessa Hudgens Dedicates Grease Performance To Dad, After Losing Him To Cancer

Just hours before a professional milestone, Vanessa Hudgens has suffered a great personal loss:

The actress' father, Greg Hudgens, has passed away from cancer. He was 65 years old. Rest in peace.

The 27-year-old High School Musical alum relayed the sad news to fans and followers on Twitter Sunday morning.

"I am so sad to say that last night my daddy, Greg passed away from stage 4 cancer," Hudgens wrote. "Thank you to everyone who kept him in your prayers."

The star had revealed her dad's unfortunate diagnosis last August.

"I am so sad to say that last night my daddy, Greg passed away from stage 4 cancer," Hudgens wrote. "Thank you to everyone who kept him in your prayers."

The star had revealed her dad's unfortunate diagnosis last August.

"Last year, my boyfriend Austin lost his mom Lori to cancer, and my dad has just been recently diagnosed with stage four cancer," Hudgens said at the time.

"Let me tell you, I hate cancer. I hate cancer with every cell of my being."

Hudgens, of course, was cast as Rizzo in Fox's live production of Grease, which airs tonight at 7/6c.

In regard to that performance, she added on social media:

"Tonight, I do the show in his honor."

In addition to the actress, Greg Hudgens is survived by her mother and his wife, Gina Hudgens, along with Vanessa's 20-year-old sister Stella Hudgens.

We send our condolences to Vanessa and her loved ones.

Taylor Swift Is Now Adjusting To Actual Workout Clothes to The Gym

With teaser after teaser of cameos from Karlie Kloss, Cindy Crawford and Cara Delevigne to name a few it's fair to say we were pretty excited about the official release of Taylor Swift's Bad Blood music video. But when we finally got to click play and watch the

video in full, it wasn't Gigi Hadid's nor Ellie Goulding's appearances we were talking about but instead how amazingly strong and powerful Taylor was looking.

From her flat abs in that white latex two piece, to her lean muscled arms in a black leather crop as she throws punches at Karlie Kloss and her long toned legs as she stomps through flames with her girlgang, we bet we aren't the only ones who found themselves pinning photos of Taylor to their phones.

Everyone is following the New Year stay-in-shape head to the Gym and stay healthy to run the year smoothly.

To Start 

Listen to: Welcome To New York - upbeat and confident - this workout has 'been waitin for you...' 

Warm up - 5 minutes on the cross trainer or jogging to warm up the muscles and joints to get ready to exercise, prevent injury and be mentally prepared.  Add in bodyweight squats, lunges and arm circles to get the body really ready.

For Taylor-esque Arms...

Listen to: We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together. It's got a regular beat that you can push throught the burn to.

Here's how...

1. Tricep dips - 3 x 10-15 reps, 30 secs rest in between each set. 

Equipment: Use a box or a step. A park bench works too. 

Method: 

Amanda says: 'Sitting on the edge of the step, hands close either side of the body, take your bum off the step and lower your body until elbows reach 90 degrees before pushing to the top of the movement. Keep your torso as close to the step as possible.' 

2. Press ups - 3 x 10-15 reps, 30 secs rest in between each set. 

Equipment: Use a box if your full floor press ups aren't strong.

Method:

Amanda says: 'With your hands shoulder width apart, bring one foot forward to support you, bend at the elbows and lower until your chest reaches the box, before pushing back to the top of the movement, keeping your core tight throughout.' 

3. Dumbell Lateral Raise - 3 x 12-15 reps , 30 secs rest in between each set 

Equipment: One pair of dumbells - start with 4kg until you build your strength up 

Method: 

Amanda says: 'Stand up right with your core tight and shoulders back, raise the Dumbells until they reach shoulder height, keeping a slight bend at the elbow throughout, before returning to the bottom.' 

To Get Taylor Swift Abs...

Listen to: Bad Blood. Abs exercises are literally the worst when it comes to the no-pain no-gain mantra, so close your eyes, pretend they're your enemy and blast through them.

It All Starts With Setting Your Own Goals Staying Consistent And True To Yourself Year Long. The Results Will come. #LegacyBuilders2016 #FongangMbanwei

Forbe's 10 Highest Paid Superstars Of 2015

Forbes recently released its annual "The World's Highest-Paid Celebrities" list for 2015 and, as expected, it's a Scrooge McDuck  money bin of surprises. We had to go for a swim.

The calculations, based on Forbes own reporting, are a mix of obvious winners—author James Patterson continues to demand airport attention—and a few payday twists. We live in a world where Fleetwood Mac made more in a year than the Rolling Stones. Believe it. Here are a few of the unexpected highlights:

1. Floyd Mayweather (#1) made a whopping $300 million.

Mayweather made an estimated $180 million in prize money off his recent fight with Manny Pacquiao. That's before pay-per-view tallies. No wonder he can spend $1000 per meal and can drop $500,000 on jewelry in a single afternoon. (Oh, and don't feel bad for Pacquiao—he's number two on Fobres' list, having earned around $160 million in the last year.)

2. Howard Stern (#5) raked in $95 million.

Looks like Stern is half the reason SiriusXM is still in business. OK, not exactly half; the company earned around $1.4 billion in 2014. Stern's contract is estimated at about $80 million a year. Take that and shove it up your [BLEEP].

3. At a combined $146 million, Taylor Swift (#8) and her man Calvin Harris (#17) out-power couple Beyonce (#29) and Jay-Z (#28).

BeyJey only made a meager $110.5 million. That's what they get for sticking to Tidal. Meanwhile, Katy Perry (#3) made more than either couple combined, bringing in $135 million a year. Left Shark just missed the list at #101.

4. Garth Brooks (#6) is still a money factory with a $90 million take.

But keep in mind that Chris Gaines brings in half that total.

5. Robert Downey Jr. (#8) a.k.a. Iron Man is still the king of Hollywood, bringing in $80 million.

He's lucky that the failure of The Judge didn't cost him money.

6. Kim Kardashian (#33) bests Jennifer Lawrence (#34).

Kim reaped an extra half million a year over the Oscar-winning actress' $52 million. Our famous people are not paid based on cultural impact.

7. Rush Limbaugh (#11), conservative idol, made $79 million this year.

Sean Hannity (#89) admired from below, holding off the War on Christmas with only $29 million.

8. Someone paid Dr. Phil (#15) $70 million this year?

Someone paid 

9. Judge Judy (#43) tied Vin Diesel (#43).

Dr. Phil $70 million this year. Where's Oprah? We're calling every 1-900 number for emotional support.

The Fast and Furious actor is the biggest movie star to ever hit Facebook. Judy Sheindlin just forced a guy who defecated on his ex-wife's car to pay her for damages. They both make $47 million a year.

10. Indian actor Amitabh Bachchan (#71) makes more than The Rock (#81), Johnny Depp (#87), Channing Tatum (#89), or his Great Gatsby costar Leonardo DiCaprio (#89).

Welcome to 2016.
