Where to meet the real Ben Stiller and Timothée Chalamet: Courtside
Ben Stiller has been near the center of American culture for nearly 40 years, from 'The Ben Stiller Show' in the early '90s to 'Reality Bites' to 'Zoolander' to 'Meet the Parents' to 'Tropic Thunder' to his work behind the scenes of the Apple TV+ smash 'Severance.' But that's all showbiz stuff; none of us have ever really known the man himself. To see the real Ben Stiller, the human being beneath it all, you have to watch a Knicks game.

McMenamin: Sale of Lakers won't affect LeBron James' future with team
With a majority share of the Los Angeles Lakers set to be sold by the Buss family to Mark Walter, who has been the Los Angeles Dodgers' primary owner since 2012, plenty of fans are wondering what that will mean as far as LeBron James' future with the team. James has a player option for next season that will pay him $52.6 million if he exercises it. He can also opt out and sign a new, slightly contract, whether he takes a pay cut or even agrees to one that would pay him more than his current deal. Advertisement Some have criticized the Buss family for allegedly caving in to the whims of James and Klutch Sports when it comes to personnel moves. But according to ESPN's Dave McMenamin, the regime change won't change James' desire to remain with the franchise. 'I'm told that one person that this decision to sell the team has no bearing on his decision moving forward with the Lakers is LeBron James. He still has a decision at the end of the month to decide whether to opt in for next year's contract worth about $56 million or opt out and become a free agent. 'This decision by the Lakers to sell the team has no bearing on where LeBron is going to choose to go next year. And, again, we've been given no indication thus far that LeBron won't be a Laker next season.' James averaged 24.4 points, 8.2 assists and 7.8 rebounds a game while shooting 51.3% from the field and 37.6% from 3-point range this season. Assuming he plays next season, as most expect him to, he would be participating in his 23rd NBA season, which would be a new league record.

A Group of Friends Reunite, Get Stoned and Freak Out in Fun Trailer For Ensemble Comedy NUKED — GeekTyrant
A funny new trailer has been released for the ensemble comedy Nuked , featuring Anna Camp, Justin Bartha, Lucy Punch, George Young, Tawny Newsome, Ignacio Serrichio, Maulik Pancholy, Stephen Guarino, Natasha Leggero, and Cole Stockel. The movie follows a reunion of friends who are coming together to celebrate a 40th birthday, complete with an 'unplug box' for them to put their phones in for minimal distractions and maximum connections, as well as a chef who curated a cannabis-infused menu for the event. As you'll see, when news hits of a world-wide impending disaster, havoc ensues. The film is written and directed by Deena Kashper ( Thirtyish ), based on a story by Deena and Danny Kashper. The full synopsis reads: 'It's Jack & Gill's 40th birthdays, so the long-time sweethearts invite their college friends for a night away to celebrate. When couples arrive at the rented mansion, Jack and Gill surprise them with an unplugged party, confiscating their phones for the evening. To appease their friends' unease, Jack and Gill also announce their five-course meal will be a cannabis-infused journey. Lots and lots of cannabis. That did the trick. The dinner's in full swing, until someone sneaks a peek at their phone and discovers a nuclear bomb is headed right for Los Angeles. Holy f#$k. The pot kicks in right as they realize they may only have 30 minutes to live. Will they survive in the makeshift basement bomb shelter, or will they get nuked?' This looks like a silly good time. Nuked originally premiered at Tribeca Film Festival last year, and it's set for release in select US theaters and on VOD on July 11th. Check out the trailer below, and let us know what you think:

Chiefs sued by former employee alleging racial discrimination after being accused of attacking female coworker
The Kansas City Chiefs are being sued by former NFL defensive back Ramzee Robinson, who previously worked as the team's director of player engagement. Robinson is alleging wrongful termination after accusing the franchise of discriminating against him because he is Black. He filed the lawsuit in U.S. District Court for the Western District of Missouri on Sunday. In the lawsuit, Robinson claims that he was called into a meeting in February and accused of attacking a female co-worker, and that the Chiefs refused to show him security video of the encounter. Robinson ultimately was fired from his position, which involved locker room management, mentorship and other responsibilities within the team. The lawsuit claims that Robinson was paid a salary of $125,000 by the Chiefs, but that his research found other NFL teams paid comparable positions an average salary of $171,932, not including other benefits. It also claims that "the Chiefs paid African-American business employees less than their white counterparts." Chiefs spokesman Brad Gee told The Associated Press on Wednesday that while he could not comment on pending legal matters, "to be clear, the Chiefs do not tolerate discrimination of any kind." Robinson spent nine years working for the Chiefs in a front office role. Robinson was the final player chosen in the 2007 draft by Detroit. He played in 19 games over two seasons for the Lions, then appeared in three games for Philadelphia and four for Cleveland in 2009. He never played for the Chiefs.
