Kendrick Lamar may be stepping into Olympic greatness—not as an athlete, but as a featured act during the 2028 Los Angeles Summer Olympics opening ceremony. According to Casey Wasserman, chairman of the Organizing Committee (and Kendrick’s rep), the rapper is strongly being considered for the spotlight. Wasserman shared, “He is truly a Los Angeles icon. It would be a pretty fair bet that Kendrick will be involved in the Olympics in Los Angeles.”
As preparations continue, the committee is also navigating concerns over the ongoing wildfires in California. However, there’s a growing belief that hosting the Summer Games could be a catalyst for the city’s rebuilding and rebirth.
Meanwhile, in celebrity romance news, Tiger Woods has confirmed his relationship with Vanessa Trump—the former daughter-in-law of Donald Trump. Tiger made it Instagram official (well, X official) by posting a few cozy photos, including one of the couple cuddled up. He captioned it:
"Love is in the air and life is better with you by my side! We look forward to our journey through life together. At this time, we would appreciate privacy to all those close to our hearts."
Vanessa Trump was previously married to Donald Trump Jr. from 2005 to 2018, making this relationship headline-worthy for more than one reason.
In a different kind of viral moment, a brutally honest obituary published in the Tampa Bay Times has the internet talking. Arthur Nixon Bates IV passed away on March 5th, and his family pulled no punches in honoring his memory. They wrote that he “succumbed to a life of drugs, Marlboros, fast women, and Ford Broncos.” The obit continued, “He is survived by three daughters, none of whom know how they will get by without dad calling to ask for $20 for cigarettes and methadone, one last time.” One guestbook comment even read: “He still owes me 20 bucks.” Now that’s a send-off.
And finally, in high school sports news, a shocking video from New York has gone viral after a girls basketball coach was caught yanking a player’s ponytail following a six-point loss in a championship game. Coach Jim Zullo has since been fired. According to NBC News, Zullo claims the player directed an expletive at him after he told her to shake hands with the opposing team.
The school district released a statement saying the matter is being taken “extremely seriously” and assured the public that they are following up with affected players and families, providing support, and outlining further actions.
