Tyson-Paul Streamers Get an Unexpected, Pre-Match Butt View

A pre-match interview of Mike Tyson came to an unexpected conclusion Friday night, with Netflix cameras capturing the former heavyweight champion from behind without his boxing shorts on. After wrapping up a backstage interview with his son, Amir, by saying he predicted a “vicious win,” Tyson turned and walked away, the showing more than the public is used to seeing from him.

Tyson is having his first sanctioned fight in nearly twenty years against YouTuber, actor, and professional boxer Jake Paul. Unsurprisingly, the encounter has seen a good deal of hype, with yesterday’s face-off at weigh-in resulting in Tyson slapping Paul. Netflix is streaming the match-up, though its high-profile foray into live sports hasn’t all going smoothly, with abundant complaints about buffering and error screens. The match is being held at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, home of the Dallas Cowboys. It was preceded by several undercard bouts, with the earlier ones shown on YouTube.

On one of the biggest nights in sporting history Netflix was apparently unprepared for the tens of millions around the world who were hoping to watch. The Jake Paul versus Mike Tyson main event was preceded by other fights but many people attempting to watch were stuck waiting for the show to load on their TVs and screening devices. The night was billed as one of the biggest and most controversial fights of all time; however, ahead of the main event, some fans took to X to complain about buffering issues on the site. “If Netflix doesn’t fix this buffering issue, this will go down as one of the biggest fails in all of tv/streaming history,” one person wrote. “I’d love to watch this live but I’ve seen the buffering logo more than any of the fights,” another added.

“Darlin’ Don’t Go” singer Jason ‘Sundance’ Head, 46, was shot on Friday at his Texas ranch. TMZ was first to report that the shooting took place in a rural part of the Lone Star State. The online site said paramedics were able to get the winner of season 11 of “The Voice” in stable condition and he was recovering in a hospital in Tyler. Head’s agent Trey Newman told The New York Post “he’s stable,” adding that the gunshot wound was “to his naval area.”“It missed all vital organs. It was not self-inflicted.” Newman added “We don’t know if it was an accident with his gun or if it was another hunter nearby. The bullet is lodged in some fatty tissue, and the only way it could have have happened is if it travelled through something else.‘ The rep added “His wife is on the way to the hospital now to get a little more information from the doctors. We’re not sure if he is awake.” Earlier on Friday, Head posted a photo on his Facebook page showing the inside of a tent. “Woke up this morning to the sound of silence,” he captioned the photo. Newman told The Post that Head was hunting on his ranch at the time. The “Me and Jesus” singer called 911 himself.

Judge Puts Infowars Purchase By ‘The Onion’ on Hold
NO JOKE

A Texas judge has temporarily halted The Onion’s auction purchase of conspiracy theorist Alex Jones' site Infowars, and the site is live again—for the moment. Bids were submitted in secret, which Jones' lawyers complained about during a Thursday hearing. In response, according to Variety, Judge Christopher Lopez of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Texas said, “No one should feel comfortable with the results of this auction.” He added later: “I don’t care who wins or loses [the auction]. I care about process.” In a statement to Variety, Ben Collins, the CEO of The Onion’s parent company and a former Daily Beast reporter, commented on the process, which saw families of Sandy Hook school shooting victims forgo a portion of their adjudicated recovery from Jones in order to increase The Onion’s winning bid. “The joint bid from Global Tetrahedron and the Connecticut families has been selected as the winning bid for Infowars. The sale is currently underway, pending standard processes,” Collins said. Judge Lopez said he would hold an evidentiary hearing next week.

Jim Carrey’s older sister Rita Carrey, a radio personality, died “peacefully and quietly” on Thursday, her husband Alex posted in a statement to her Facebook page. Alex, her partner of 16 years, wrote of his late wife’s “loving soul” and love for the holidays. She “wanted to help everyone, even total strangers,” he wrote, and asked for donations in Rita’s name to support the domestic violence survivor organization Gillian’s Place in her native Canada. “She filled everyone’s heart with joy with every step she took and I will never forget this beautiful and amazingly talented woman,” he also wrote in the heartbreaking post, “Goodbye my lover, goodbye my friend, until we meet again.” He did not mention a cause of death. Jim Carrey, 62, has not yet made a public statement about his sister’s passing. Rita was one of his three siblings. Their brother John died aged 60 in 2019.

Donald Trump has selected Steven Cheung to serve as assistant to the president and communications director in the White House, the president-elect announced on Friday. Cheung previously served as director of communications on Trump’s presidential campaign, where he was known for issuing combative statements while exhibiting his quiet competence. Steve Bannon dubbed him “the hardest worker in all of Trumpland.” Cheung has been with Trump for years, serving before that as the White House director of strategic response. Trump is also bringing on Sergio Gor, who runs the company that publishes his books, as another assistant to the president and director of the presidential personnel office. “Steven Cheung and Sergio Gor have been trusted Advisors since my first Presidential Campaign in 2016, and have continued to champion America First principles throughout my First Term, all the way to our Historic Victory in 2024,” Trump wrote.

Despite rumors circulating on who could be joining Donald Trump’s new administration, Jamie Dimon is counting himself out. The JPMorgan CEO received a shoutout on Trump’s Truth Social account on Thursday, with the president-elect posting: “I respect Jamie Dimon, of JPMorgan CHASE, greatly, but he will not be invited to be a part of the Trump Administration.” However, the billionaire banker had no plans to regardless. “First of all, I wish the president well, and thank you, it’s a very nice note,” Dimon said at the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation CEO Summit in Lima, Peru. “But I just want to tell the president also, I haven’t had a boss in 25 years and I’m not about ready to start.” In June, Trump told Bloomberg that he would consider Dimon for a role like Treasury Secretary, and many had wondered if he’d join the administration. The president-elect later walked back the quote, and said that he didn’t “know who said it.”

Shortly after Megyn Kelly called her a “pig,” Rachel Zegler apologized for her post-election take. Last week, Zegler reportedly wrote “f*** Donald Trump“ in her Instagram stories, followed by: “May Trump supporters and Trump voters and Trump himself never know peace.” The sentiment set off conservative Kelly, who used her Sirius XM show to call for Zegler’s firing from Disney’s live-action Snow White film. “She has to go right now,” Kelly said, echoing other outraged Trump supporters. “There’s something wrong with this person.” Zegler has since apologized. “I let my emotions get the best of me,” she wrote in her Instagram stories on Thursday. “Hatred and anger have caused us to move further and further away from peace and understanding, and I am very sorry I contributed to the negative discourse.” While the “week has been emotional for so many of us,” she continued, “I firmly believe that everyone has the right to their opinion, even when it differs from my own. I am committed to contributing positively toward a better tomorrow.”

This Vibrator Claims to Help Boost Prostate Health

MysteryVibe Molto Prostate Vibrator

Apparently, boosting prostate health can actually be pleasurable—at least, that’s what premium sexual wellness brand MysteryVibe says. The Molto, an ultra-slim and bendable prostate vibrator designed by a doctor, is engineered to be the same size and width as a doctor’s finger and to mimic similar motions to that performed during an exam, allowing for not only intense prostate (the prostate is often hailed as the male ‘G-spot’) and anal stimulation but also a release of prostatic fluids. According to the brand, some studies have found that excess prostatic fluid can lead to inflammation and pressure, so not only is this a sex toy, but it’s also possibly an investment in your prostate health. Think of it almost like a lymphatic massage for your prostate—except one that can give you intense orgasms, too.

MysteryVibe Molto Prostate Vibrator
Down From $279

Made with body-safe silicone, the multifunctional and gender-fluid vibrator is powered by one “anatomically-placed” motor that delivers potent yet precise vibration to the anus and prostate without feeling bulky or inflexible. It’s a great sex toy for those new to anal play or who are looking for an ultra-sleek vibrator with possible health-boosting benefits. The prostate vibrator is equipped with 16 vibration settings and eight pre-set vibration patterns, allowing for superior control and customization. Plus, the device comes with access to a catalog of vibration patterns with the free MysteryVibe smartphone app. Best of all? Because the Molto vibrator is an FDA-registered class II medical device, it’s also FSA/HSA eligible.

An American visiting Japan with his family has been arrested on suspicion of vandalism after allegedly desecrating Tokyo’s Meiji Jingu Shrine. According to Reuters, the 65-year-old (identified as Steve Lee Hayes) clawed five letters representing family names into a pillar of the Torii gates with his fingernails. He allegedly etched the characters “just for fun,” according to Tokyo Weekender, and was taken into custody at his hotel. The incident is one in a string of similar defacements, visitors having graffitied pillars at the Yasukuni Shrine in Tokyo twice already this year. Reuters reports that “overtourism” may be to blame: 27 million people visited Japan between January and September, injecting the equivalent of $37.5 billion into the economy but also saddling the country with drunken, rowdy visitors who leave their trash in the streets and strain transportation systems and generally make life more difficult for locals. As for Hayes, he’s reportedly receiving assistance from the U.S. Embassy.

Conan O’Brien Announced as Oscars Host
‘AMERICA DEMANDED IT’

Conan O’Brien is set to host the 2025 Oscars. “America demanded it, and now it’s happening: Taco Bell’s new Cheesy Chalupa Supreme. In other news, I’m hosting the Oscars,” O’Brien said in a statement released by ABC. O’Brien left late-night in 2021 after nearly 30 years on the air, and now hosts the popular podcast “Conan O’Brien Needs a Friend.” He was selected to host the awards after four-time host Jimmy Kimmel turned it down, as well as comedian John Mulaney. “I know how much work goes into [the Oscars], so I thought, ‘Yeah, I don’t necessarily want to do this ever again,’” Kimmel told the Los Angeles Times. An Academy Awards hosting gig used to be a feather in the cap for established comedians, but has become almost radioactive amid declining ratings and social media backlash. The show had no host from 2019 to 2021. Viewership hit 19.5 million at this year’s Oscars, a four-year high. Though before 2018, viewership never dipped below 32 million. This is O’Brien’s first time hosting the Oscars, though he did host the Emmys in 2002 and 2006.
