8. Boar on the Floor

Back in Succession season 2 episode 3, Logan Roy and his senior management team went on a retreat in Hungary. During dinner there, the Waystar Royco CEO had it with all the stabbing behind his back when it came to acquiring PGM. This gave him the idea to pit Greg, Tom, and Karl against each other in a game he called Boar on the Floor.

What follows is Logan humiliating the three by ordering them to squeal like boars and fight over a sausage, with the first to consume it winning the said game. This happens while everybody cheers them on as Logan continues teaching them a lesson against going up against him. In the end, there are no winners as all three end up with their tails behind their respective legs in a display of power of Logan has over them all.

6. Tom finds out he’s not going to jail

For most of Succession season 3, Tom Wambsgans has been stressed to hell and back due to the possibility of going to jail. This comes after he is seen as the potential scapegoat for the Cruises scandal Waystar went through. But because Kendall overpromised his prospective testimony and wasn’t able to deliver what the government wanted, Logan and his company escaped any further scrutiny from the said issue.

The revelation that he won’t be sent to prison anymore causes Tom to visit Greg in his office and go berserk in the most fun and epic way. After flipping an office table, Tom would spend a few minutes letting out all the fear and anxiety stored inside him as Greg watched in awe. In a way, Succession fans were extremely relieved as one of the series’ beloved characters was finally unloaded with a tremendous burden.

5. L to the OG

Looking at the entire landscape of Succession, people might expect that it’s all about business and serious stuff. While that’s true, especially in the most captivating of moments in the show, there are still light-hearted scenes that don’t take away anything from the Max series. In Dundee, a tribute is being held for Logan and all of what he has done in his life. For his part, Kendall surprised everyone when he put on a cap and started rapping on stage.

In a matter of moments, Succession viewers might have found themselves singing along to the catchy song Kendall made up for his father. And while Roman and other members of the Roy family cringed at him, Kendall managed to bring something different to the entire series through his tribute to Logan. Truly, this was an OG moment for the Max show.

4. Tom’s Betrayal

Along with all of the anxiety of going to prison, Tom was always mocked by the Roys and emotionally abused by Shiv in their marriage. With her sleeping around and making him feel less than a husband, it only makes sense for Tom to think about his future in the company at some point in Succession.

That came to fruition when Tom learned that the siblings will prevent Logan from selling the company and told him before they could even make a move. His betrayal pushed Kendall, Shiv, and Roman out of influence, causing the three to do things on their own by purchasing PGM. Tom, for his part, gained the good graces of Logan and stepped up from where he used to be. While the betrayal does hurt, the revelation that it was Tom who helped Logan win over his kids was a surprising development that elevated the season 3 finale to new levels of awesome.

3.. Kendall’s press conference

All throughout season 2, we’ve seen Kendall somehow be castrated by Logan after the climactic finale of season 1 where he was involved in a waiter’s death. During that time, Kendall was a shell of himself as he just meekly went ahead with his father’s wishes. That demeanor changed without any warning when Kendall was forced to take the fall for the Cruises scandal, even if he went the extra mile to defend his father before a Congressional hearing.

During the press conference, Kendall was supposed to admit his involvement in the scandal and take the fall for Waystar Royco. Instead, he tagged his father as complicit in all the alleged crimes being thrown at the company, effectively turning the tables on him and his family. The turn itself was borne out of a season-long battle for Kendall as he took everything his father and siblings had thrown at him for all the failures his committed before. With that release, Kendall’s arc in season 3 became a lot more interesting than just remaining a lapdog for his father to use.

2. Logan’s death

Succession has been all about Logan and how he will be succeeded in the event of his death. Although the show came close to it in the first season, his passing did become a reality before season 4 could even hit its halfway mark. The Waystar Royco CEO started season 4 episode 3 on a trip to see Lukas Matsson, and along the plane ride there, passed away. While fans were hoping that it wasn’t true as the episode progressed, the final scene confirmed that Logan, did, indeed, die.

The resulting loss threw every character in Succession away from their orbit. The display of grief and emotion, especially amongst Logan’s children, was a masterpiece in acting from each one of them. In the end, fans of the Max series couldn’t help but be drawn by the gravity of Logan’s death. This serves as a testament to how awesome this moment in Succession truly is.

1. Shiv and Roman prepare a meal fit for Kendall

When it comes to Succession, there are mostly moments that reek of misery, betrayal, or dark comedy. There are only a few scenes from the Max series that somehow warm the hearts of viewers everywhere. The best one by far was the moment shared between the three Roy siblings in the kitchen of their mother’s Carribean house. With Kendall securing Shiv and Roman’s permission to become CEO, the two prepare a meal fit for a king filled with different ingredients that end up as a disgusting mix. As the scene progresses, fans are lured into a false hope that they’ve finally figured things out and their future can look better than where they were when Succession began.

But remember that this is Succession, one of the bleakest shows on streaming, and their short-lived alliance ended up in absolute heartbreak and misery. But even if that’s the case, the Meal Fit For A King scene remains an epic memory, not just for Kendall, Shiv, and Roman, but for fans of the series everywhere.

Shannon Sharpe leaving Skip Bayless on FS1’s ‘Undisputed’

Shannon Sharpe will leave FS1’s “Undisputed” after seven years as co-host with Skip Bayless. Sharpe’s final show is expected to be after the 2023 NBA Finals concluding in June, per The Post.

Sharpe’s departure comes as a surprise to many, as he had been a key part of the show’s success. Sharpe’s combination of intelligence, wit, and charisma made him a popular figure with viewers, and his on-air chemistry with Bayless was undeniable.

The reasons for Shannon Sharpe’s departure are not entirely clear, but it is possible that he was unhappy with the direction of the show. In recent months, “Undisputed” has become increasingly focused on hot-take debates, and Sharpe may have felt that he was no longer able to contribute in a meaningful way. He also expressed having creative issues with Bayless, citing a desire to be equal with him in terms of topic selection.

There was public friction between Shannon Sharpe and Skip Bayless on the show after Bills safety Damar Hamlin collapsed on the field in a Week 17 game against the Bengals.

Bayless, in a stream-of-conscious tweet sent after Hamlin had collapsed but before the rest of the game had been canceled, wrote, “No doubt the NFL is considering postponing the rest of this game – but how? This late in the season, a game of this magnitude is crucial to the regular-season outcome … which suddenly seems so irrelevant.” Shannon Sharpe stayed home from “Undisputed” the following morning; when he returned a day later, he said that he had wished Skip Bayless would take the tweet down, while Skip said that he stood by it.

Shannon Sharpe, 54 is a three-time Super Bowl champion, a four-time All-Pro, and enshrined in the Pro Football Hall of Fame. He is also the host of the popular “Club Shay Shay” podcast, which draws a big audience on social media and YouTube; it will also be leaving Fox Sports, a source said.

Sharpe, Skip Bayless, and a Fox Sports spokesperson did not immediately respond to requests for comment. It is unclear at this time what FS1 will do to replace Sharpe on the show.

Undignified’: Why Britney Spears is fuming over ex Kevin Federline relocating sons to Hawaii

Britney Spears has signed off on her ex Kevin Federline relocating their two teenage sons to Hawaii. However, the popstar is not happy about how their private family matter has become public in the last few weeks.

Spears’ lawyer, Matthew Rosengart, wrote a letter dated May 31 to Federline’s attorney informing him that the “Circus” singer will not disrupt Federline’s plans of relocating their sons to Hawaii per Entertainment Tonight. The couple shares sons Jayden, 16, and Sean, 17.

In the letter however, Rosengart slammed Federline’s attorney, Mark Vincent Kaplan, about making their private matter public and “creating unnecessary drama and a false ‘dispute’ by publicly discussing the issue.” Rosengart added that by making their issue public “it was undignified, ungracious, and unnecessary.”

A source told the publication that “Britney loves and has always supported her children and wants them to be happy.” In a statement to ET, Kaplan says, “I responded to Mr. Rosengart about how I feel about that and I am not going to involve myself in an involuntary pen-pal relationship with him.”

“I’m sure Kevin is very pleased,” Kaplan said of Federline’s feelings on the matter. “He needs to make plans for the move and these plans take months to put it into effect.”

This comes two weeks after the outlet reported that Kaplan sent a letter to Spears’ attorney about asking the singer if her sons could move to Hawaii with Federline and his wife Victoria Prince. Kaplan later spoke to ET’s Kevin Frazier about why he chose to send the initial letter in the first place.

“Well, the reason I sent the letter on behalf of Kevin to Britney is that Kevin has an opportunity available to him to relocate to Hawaii, and the boys are very excited if they’re able to relocate to Hawaii,” Kaplan said. “And even though Kevin has sole legal custody over the existing orders and even though Kevin has had what we call defacto sole physical custody or, for the last 15 months or more, the law still requires you to get the consent of the other co-parent.”

He added that Spears would “do the smart thing and not object” as she has not exercised any visitation or custody “in the last year.”

Ben Affleck, Jennifer Lopez finally close on immaculate $60 million home

After an extensive two-year search, celebrity power couple Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez have successfully purchased their dream home in Beverly Hills for a whopping $60,850,000. The newly acquired property, located on Wallingford Drive near Benedict Canyon Drive, spans an impressive 38,000 square feet and boasts 12 bedrooms, 24 bathrooms, and a spacious 12-car garage, according to TMZ.

The driveway of the luxurious estate is currently filled with the couple’s belongings, including furniture, paintings, rugs, and numerous moving boxes. Dedicated moving crews are hard at work, ensuring a smooth transition as the couple settles into their sprawling new residence.

Nestled in the serene canyons, the five-acre property offers a unique indoor sports complex, complete with facilities for basketball, pickleball, a gym, a boxing ring, as well as a sports lounge and bar. In addition, the estate features a tennis court, a captivating zero-edge pool, a 5,000-square-foot guesthouse, a two-bedroom guardhouse, a theater, a wine room, a whisky lounge, a sauna, and much more. It truly epitomizes luxury living at its finest.

Remarkably, Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez reportedly purchased the home in cash and swiftly closed the deal within a week, securing what appears to be a significant discount. The property had previously been listed for $135,000,000 in 2018, before being relisted for $75 million in 2023, ultimately capturing the attention of the star-studded couple.

Considered the crown jewel of Wallingford, the newly acquired mansion marks the culmination of several unsuccessful attempts by Affleck and Lopez to find their perfect abode, having previously entered escrow on several other properties that ultimately fell through.

The renowned celebrity realtor Brett Lawyer represented the couple during the purchase, while the seller was represented by Ginger Glass.

‘Cinderfella’: Disney under fire for allowing male to dress as Cinderella character

Conservative critics are once again targeting Disney for what they perceive as pushing “woke” agendas on children, according to the New York Post The latest controversy involves an apparent male employee at Disneyland’s Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique in Anaheim, California, who was seen wearing a costume dress and makeup while portraying the “Fairy Godmother’s Apprentice.”

A viral TikTok video capturing the moment has garnered nearly 7 million views and sparked a heated debate. Critics argue that Disney’s decision to allow a male employee to dress as a traditionally female character sends confusing messages to children.

The employee, identified as Nick, introduces themselves as one of the Fairy Godmother’s Apprentices and proceeds to assist a young girl with her selections for the day. The video has drawn various reactions, with Fox News host Jesse Watters jokingly referring to the character as “CinderFella.”

Conservative writer Peachy Keenan criticized the inclusion of a man in drag, deeming it both bizarre and inappropriate. Keenan argued that such instances break the illusion of the Disney experience and prioritize an agenda over the enjoyment of young children.

However, not all responses to the video were negative. Influencer and mother of three, Kournti Farber, who originally posted the video, commended Disney workers for providing her daughter with an unforgettable experience. Farber focused on the positive aspects of the encounter and the joy it brought to her child.

Disney defended its decision to promote inclusivity and accommodate cast members who do not identify as female. By replacing the “Fairy Godmother in Training” title with “Fairy Godmother’s Apprentices,” the corporation aimed to ensure that all cast members could participate in the process of dressing up and styling children without being limited to female character portrayals.

The controversy surrounding the Cinderella character at Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique highlights the ongoing tension between conservative critics and Disney’s attempts to promote diversity and inclusivity. The debate underscores the differing perspectives on gender representation and the role of children’s entertainment in shaping societal norms.

Former Chicago Bears quarterback, Jay Cutler, has taken on a different kind of opponent, this time in the wilderness of Montana. Cutler recently revealed that he shot and killed a cinnamon black bear during a spring bear hunt in Big Sky Country, Outsider reports.

A post shared by Jay Cutler (@ifjayhadinstagram)

The 40-year-old retired football star has been embracing the outdoors in his post-NFL life, regularly sharing updates about his hunting adventures. This time, he bagged a cinnamon black bear, which is a color variation of the black bear species, characterized by a rich brown coat with a reddish hue.

Jay Cutler proudly posted a photo on his social media page, showcasing his hunting success. Alongside the image, he wrote, “MT bear hunt in the books,” expressing his satisfaction with the hunt’s outcome. He even humorously mentioned his plan to unwind and enjoy a beer after the exhilarating experience.

While some online commenters may voice their disapproval of bear hunting, Cutler is ready to defend his passion. Bear hunting has been a longstanding activity, deeply rooted in the history of human-animal interactions. Moreover, it plays a vital role in state conservation efforts, especially as black bear populations continue to expand rapidly.

Cutler’s affinity for outdoor pursuits has been evident throughout his retirement, with his hunting escapades taking center stage. Just last summer, he shared his two-year-long pursuit of a deer, showcasing his commitment and patience in tracking down elusive prey.

As Cutler continues to venture into the wild, his encounters with nature serve as a reminder of the diverse interests and pursuits of former athletes beyond the football field. With each hunt, he embraces the challenges and thrills of the great outdoors, adding another chapter to his post-NFL journey.

Halle Bailey dishes the truth on difficult moment she endured during ‘The Little Mermaid’ filming

Halle Bailey made waves this past weekend for the premiere of the highly-anticipated ‘The Little Mermaid.’ However, Bailey opened up about how stepping into this iconic role was not the easiest wave to ride in the beginning.

The singer and actor who plays the lead mermaid in the film, Ariel, posted a video on her Instagram about a tough moment she endured while filming.

“So, today is a hard day,” she says, mentioning that she has been filming climatic “Part of Your World” song sequence “for the past two days now.”

She mentioned that the first two days she was filming the first part of the song and now she has to get “through the rest of it, and it’s hard.”

“I am trembling emotionally, because it’s such a desperate plea,” Bailey says since “Part of Your World” shows how vulnerable her character is and is the focal point for the whole film.

“And I’m sensitive, the song is hard to sing, and the song is hard to do in general,” she added. “I’m trying to show every emotion on my face and move the right way I’m supposed to.”

Bailey’s work has paid off since ‘The Little Mermaid’ earned $300M-$350M U.S./Canada to $260M abroad, according to Deadline.

Bailey is just making her mark in the film world as the Grammy-nominated singer will be playing Nettie in ‘The Color Purple.’ The ‘Ungodly Hour’ creator shared the trailer on Twitter last week.

“Taking a second from mermaid press to say I’m so grateful to be apart of this project as well,” she wrote. “Another dream come true on Christmas Day.”

Bailey stars alongside Fantasia Barrino, Taraji P. Henson, H.E.R, Colman Domingo, Phylicia Pearl Mpasi, Corey Hawkins and Danielle Brooks.

NBA Finals news: Chipotle makes awesome announce ahead of Heat-Nuggets Game 1

Chipotle, the beloved Mexican grill, has made an exciting announcement just in time for the NBA Finals, according to USA Today. Starting with Game 1 between the Denver Nuggets and the Miami Heat, Chipotle will be giving away free food throughout the series. The promotion, called “Chipotle Free Pointer,” will reward fans every time a player from either team makes a three-pointer.

For every successful three-pointer made by a Nuggets or Heat player, Chipotle will tweet a unique message from their official account, @CHIPOTLETWEETS. The first 300 people to text that message to 888222 will receive a free entrée code. These lucky fans can then redeem the code by placing an order through the Chipotle App or website during regular business hours.

If Chipotle had run this promotion throughout the entire 2022-2023 NBA season, they estimated they would have given out over 600,000 free entrées on Twitter, averaging 7,380 per game. With the Nuggets and Heat collectively averaging 23 three-pointers per game, Chipotle plans to give away up to 10,500 free entrees per game during the NBA Finals.

Fans are particularly excited about this promotion, as both teams have been prolific in their three-point shooting during the playoffs this year. It’s almost unreal how efficient the Heat have been. This means there will be plenty of opportunities for fans to snag a free burrito, as long as they act quickly.

Chris Brandt, the Chief Brand Officer at Chipotle, expressed the company’s enthusiasm for the promotion, comparing the excitement of free Chipotle to a well-timed three-pointer on basketball’s biggest stage. He stated, “This year, when it rains threes, it rains free burritos.”

Kim Kardashian gets brutally honest on what she’s looking for in her next partner

While Kim Kardashian is taking her time in the dating department, the reality personality is sure of what she wants in her next partner. In a clip from season three of Hulu’s ‘The Kardashians’, the SKIMS founder disclosed the long list of qualities she looks for in a man.

“Number one, protect me. Number two, fight for me. Number three, good hygiene—I mean, that’s like a given, I think I should even take that off,” Kardashian starts off in the video, reading her list from the Notes app on her iPhone.

“Number four, calm. Five, no mom or dad issues. Six, patient. Seven, supportive. Genuinely happy for me. Successful. Good teeth,” she continues.

The clip then cuts to her confessional when she discloses why “good teeth” are her thing.

“Teeth are like one of my biggest turn-ons—the straighter, the hornier I’ll get. Just kidding, but not kidding,” she said.

“Spontaneous, fun, my friends and family love him. Someone that can be a role model for my kids, especially that my boys can look up to,” she says. “No heavy baggage, I have enough. Taller than me. Someone that loves to work out. A motivated person, an independent person that’s not clingy, and someone with good taste.”

However, the shapewear mogul was not done.

“Smart, kind, great manners, is into self-care. I want to love their scent even in the gym,” Kardashian continues. “Let’s get facials together. Can read a room. Let’s do lasers. Has their own shit going on. Also adaptable. I love hair. Respects others, especially when no one’s watching. Let’s do ice baths together. Teeth, good teeth.”

“Are you willing to help someone?” a producer asks her. “Listen, if—I would help someone get veneers, if that’s what you’re asking,” Kardashian replies, laughing.

Kardashian was married to Kanye West from 2014 to 2022 and they share four kids together: North, Saint, Chicago, and Psalm. After their divorce, she dated ‘Saturday Night Live’ alum Pete Davidson for nine months. The two called it quits in August of last year. The reality star is currently single.
