Source: https://ift.tt/nl78FH - Sunday, June 30, 2019 As previously detailed, Taylor Swift has buried the hatchet with Katy Perry . But she's just gone ahead and brandished another sharp weapon, this time pointing in the direction of music manager extraordinnaire Scooter Braun... ... and basically using all of its figurative might on social media. Here's the somewhat confusing deal: Braun is very good friends with clients such as Ariana Grande and Justin Bieber. A giant in the entertainment field, Braun's media holding company (Ithaca Holdings LLC) announced in a statement on Sunday that it and Big Machine Label Group reached a "finalized contract" under which Ithaca Holdings will acquire the latter company. Why is this relevant? Because the latter is Swift's former record label. The deal, made for a reported $300 million, includes Big Machine Music -- which means the following; Braun's company will now control all six albums that Swift has released to d

Heat rumors: Dwyane Wade hints at coming out of retirement due to Jimmy Butler trade

Source: thesportsdaily.com - Sunday, June 30, 2019 It was beginning to look like the Miami Heat were going to be forced to start over and rebuild, with the Nets, Pacers, Sixers and Celtics all winning in free agency on Sunday by appearing to improve their rosters.

The Heat acquired superstar Jimmy Butler in a sign-and-trade with the Sixers, and the Mavs got involved as well, so Miami was able to get Goran Dragic’s deal off the books. The team did have to give up young “three-and-D” guy Josh Richardson, but the addition of Butler could keep the team in the playoffs once again. And, not only that, Butler’s good friend Dwyane Wade may come out of retirement to re-join the team.

Man accused of forging police report as late for work excuse

Source: wgntv.com - Saturday, June 29, 2019 LISBON, N.H. — A man accused of forging a police report to back up his bogus story that he used as an excuse to his boss is facing real charges in New Hampshire. The Caledonian-Record reports that 51-year-old Paul Neilson was charged last week with forgery, a felony punishable by up to seven years in prison. Police say the Lisbon man told his boss he was late to work at a construction company March 11 because a Lisbon officer gave him a warning about his expired car registration. When his boss got suspicious, police say Neilson gave him a report purportedly from the officer with a detailed description of their interaction. The boss contacted police, who said they had not had any contact with Neilson that day nor written the report. A phone number for Neilson could not be found. All Related Source: Breaking News

THE GREAT CRUNCHYROLL NARUTO REWATCH Goes Full-On Scooby-Doo with Episodes 162-168!

Welcome to the Great Crunchyroll Naruto Rewatch ! I'm Joseph Luster and I'll be your host this week as we continue ninja-running through all 220 episodes of the original Naruto   anime adaptation. After last week's spicy blend of the conclusion to the Curry of Life arc and a handful of one-offs in episodes 155 - 161 , it's time to get downright spooky with the Land of Birds arc in episodes 162-168 .   This time around we have a storyline that's almost beefy enough to take up the entire seven episode bundle. It's also one of the few times a filler story has focused on a baddie who isn't really connected to Orochimaru in anyway, but it still gives Naruto and his team the opportunity to evoke some of the emotions that run through the core of the show, reminding us that Sasuke is still out there somewhere.     Before Naruto can get to him, he's gonna have to solve a straight-up Scooby Doo mystery. Thus, without further ado… Submitted for the approval o
