The man trying to find a new home for his shoes was turned away by the company he was talking to.

According to sources familiar with Ye's visit, he was at the company's main office in Manhattan Beach, CA, on Wednesday morning, but this was not a scheduled meeting with management.

Ye arrived at a Skechers corporate office without being invited. Ye and his party were escorted from the building by two executives after a brief discussion.

Robert Greenberg founded Skechers and his son Michael is the President, but we don't know if he did his research or not. He barked up the wrong tree because of his anti-Semitic views.

Skechers doesn't want to work with West, according to a spokesman. We do not tolerate any form of hate speech. West showed up without warning to the corporate offices.

Adidas dropped him this week because he was working both as a manufacturer and distributor of its products. He didn't hit the ball.

According to Forbes, his smile doesn't look like that of a man out $900 million, even though he was seen at a local bagel shop before his meeting.

As we reported, the anti-Semitic comments made by West were the final straw for several business and professional relationships, including adidas who have all dropped him in the last few weeks.

Will Smith talked to the Los Angeles Lakers about staying strong in the face of adversity, as the team tries to get back on track.

Smith talked with the Lake Show about themes that will be a part of his upcoming film, "Emancipation," such as the benefits of togetherness and practicing gratitude when times are hard.

The Lakers presented the 'Fresh Prince of Bel-Air' star with a jersey with his name on it.

At a time when the Lakers have been under scrutiny, the message in Will's talk was profound.

The 54-year-old Philadelphia native was banned from the Academy Awards for 10 years for hitting Chris Rock.

Smith apologized to Rock and has been repairing his public image ever since.

Smith wanted the Lakers to stick together and appreciate the struggle in order to overcome the grim circumstances.

Will's pep talk will be watched to see if it works.

A judge placed Tory Lanez under house arrest until his trial for allegedly attacking August Alsina begins.

The order came down during a court hearing in L.A., where it was decided that he needs to be locked up until the start of the trial in November because of accusations that he beat Alsina in Chicago.

The prosecutors argued that he had violated the conditions of his bail in the Meg case and should be sent to jail. Monetary bail alone wasn't enough to deter him from posing a threat to public safety.

There were only allegations in the Alsina case and no charges had been filed. Alsina took to social media to accuse Tory of sucker punching him, with bloody photos, after he had apparently been snubbed by the singer.

The judge decided to split the difference and ordered Tory to be confined to his home.

He has to remain under house arrest until his trial starts. He pleaded not guilty after being accused of shooting Meg in 2020.

The ruling was a perfect example of how the criminal justice system treats Black men according to the man who spoke to us.

When Adidas decided to stop making products for West, people from around the world rushed to the internet to find out if the popular shoe was still available.

After news broke that Adidas was dropping their contract with Ye and stopping production of his brand's products, there was a huge spike in the number of searches for the phrase "sell Ye".

People are trying to figure out if it's a good idea to sell their gear now or wait for prices to increase in the future.

We reported that as well. Following his antisemitic comments, Adidas decided to end their relationship with Ye.

A thorough review of the partnership by the German shoe company shows a loss of $246 million this year.

Two Ohio fishermen who left the sports world stunned after allegedly stuffing fish with weights during a tournament pled not guilty to multiple charges on Wednesday.

A grand jury indicted both Runyan and Cominsky on charges of cheating, attempted grand theft, and having criminal tools.

Neither angler spoke in the court.

Runyan, a native of Ohio, and Cominsky, a native of Pennsylvania, were on the verge of winning almost $30,000 for two seven-pound walleyes they caught during the Lake Erie event in September.

Runyan's and Cominsky's haul was suspicious because they had weights and other fish filets inside.

There was never enough evidence to catch Runyan and Cominsky.

Fans at the event wanted the bosses in charge of the event to file a police report against the two men.

The two were released on personal bonds.

T.J. Maxx became the latest company to cut ties with the rapper because of his antisemitic and bigoted statements.

TJX Companies, operators of T.J. Maxx, Marshalls, and Home Goods, told CNN Business that they do not tolerate discrimination, harassment, or hate. We have told our buying teams not to buy this merchandise in any of our stores.

He was about to act and make people laugh in his final moments when he died behind the wheel. The gossip website has learned.

Sources close to the late actor tell us that he was supposed to film for "Call Me Kat" on Monday morning, but he didn't show up until more than an hour after his call time.

Our sources tell us that there was a scramble to find him, and that the cast and crew found out he had been involved in a car accident.

The story was broken by the gossip website. After crashing his car into a building in Hollywood, investigators think he had a medical emergency.

Sources close to the actor tell us that he was so concerned about his health that he had an appointment with a doctor.

That was supposed to happen in a few days.

It's not clear if that appointment would have found any underlying health issues, but investigators think he suffered a heart attack while driving.

Mayim wrote a sweet tribute to the actor, saying that they broke the mold when they made him. He was a mentor to many people. It's unimaginable that he's gone. You are well, sweet friend.

The production of the show has been put on hold.

There is only one thing that could make the movie even more anticipated, and that is a song by Ri-ri.

The Navy was excited when the icon posted a sample to the upcoming song "Lift Me Up" on Wednesday.

We're told that the song will be a tribute to the star of the first 'BP' film, the late Chadwick Boseman, who passed away last year.

"Lift Me Up" will be released on her own Westbury Road label in collaboration with Roc Nation.

After speaking with Ryan and hearing his direction for the film and the song, I wanted to write something that portrayed a warm embrace from all the people that I've lost in my life. I imagined what it would be like to sing to them and express my feelings for them.

She says it's a great honor to hear her convey the song.

The song marks her return to music after a long hiatus, and makes a great lead-up to her Super Bowl LVII halftime show.

We're pretty sure that the reception for this new single will ease any fears that she might have had about the Super Bowl stage.

Due to Ye's controversial antisemitic comments, the star players on the Donda Academy basketball team will not be able to showcase their talents on one of the biggest stages this year.

Donda has been removed from this season's schedule due to West's "words and actions that violate our values as a company and a country."

The tournament has hosted future NBA superstars like Kobe Bryant and Kevin Durant in the past.

Donda was going to compete in Louisville.

It's a huge blow for the entire squad of kids, including five-star guards Robert Dillingham (who's committed to Kentucky) and AJ Johnson, as well as the other players who are ranked nationally.

"While we are firm in our reasoning for this decision, it doesn't diminish our heartache and regret for Donda's athletes who will lose out the most as a result of Yeezus' actions."

We can't host an organization founded by Mr. West at our events.

It's not the first time Ye's comments have caused problems, as we previously reported, adidas, Balenciaga, and CAA have parted ways with him.

Matthew has found a way to break the cycle of addiction that gripped his adult life.

He is on a mission to help others who have self-isolated because he believes there is no way out unless you have a support system. You lose to the disease alone.

The star has been through a lot. There have been 6,000 AA meetings. He credits people around him with keeping him on a straight and narrow path. During the show and after, he singles out the person who helped the most.

Matthew has been in TV shows and movies since "Friends," but addiction has been the center of his life for a long time.

He says the hit sitcom gave him outlets for help when he needed it. He would like to spread the word to other people.

The ABC special will air on Friday.

The attorney for Durk tells the website. The news of Mr. Bank's exoneration from the charges to be extorted is being overshadowed by the frivolous lawsuit filed by the defendants. The lawsuit has no merit as it was the person who failed to get a visa who caused the denial of entry. The lawsuit will be dismissed for a number of procedural errors. Mr. Banks wants to travel the globe in the near future.

Due to his arrest for a Georgia shooting, Durk may have to pay a steep price for missing a performance in the Bahamas.

Durk was supposed to perform in Nassau in December, but according to a new lawsuit, he was paid $24k in advance. Hundreds of thousands of dollars were spent on promoting and putting on the event.

Immigration authorities refused to allow Durk into the country because they knew he had pending felony charges against him in Atlanta. He didn't show.

Although it took years, Durk came out on top in the criminal case he fought. The case was dropped by the D.A.

According to the concert promoter, Durk refused to rescheduling and kept his money. If they ever wanted him to make up the show, he tried to milk them for an additional $200k.

The organizers of the event asked Durk's people if he had any legal issues that would prevent him from entering the country, and they were assured he did not.

They're trying to get $350k from Durk for breaching his contract, and for spending money on the concert.

We reached out to Durk, but he hasn't responded yet.

Selena Gomez is going to miss her appearance on the Tonight Show tonight after she revealed she has evidence.

Even though signs point to them being good friends, Britney Spears is still trashing Selena Gomez.

Based on the caption, the singer's message appears to be aimed at Selena. Selena referred to women showing their bodies on social media at the American Music Awards.

She says that she loves the nerve of women who stand firmly getting awards and speak of their beliefs about not showing their bodies on social media. The women who get 4 million dollar budget videos made about sucking and licking on homemade ice cream are the ones who say this isn't something they would do.

Britney thinks it's hypocritical for someone to engage in a sexually suggestive music video to criticize other people for showing off their curves.

She mentioned a lot of clues that pointed to Selena. The only person in recent memory who touched on "bodies on IG" and went on to star in a music video with ice cream cones is SG. The song is by a girl band.

Britney has changed the caption on the IG post to show 3 roses.

Selena's fans are telling Britney to back off because they think it's a lie. Selena was one of a few celebrities who attended Britney's wedding this year.

Despite controversy it's stirred, especially among her own family members, that Britney posted her nudes online.

It's difficult to understand Britney's point of view. Less and less people are on her side as she posts weird and unprovokedHOT takes.

Selena has yet to respond to this. She won't.

The story was originally published at 7 am.

A Missouri radio anchor had to go live on the air to report on the St. Louis school shooting while she was unsure if her daughter was still alive.

Caeli, who is a senior at the Collegiate School of Medicine and Bioscience, sent alarming texts to her mother, who is a reporter for KMOX.

She read her texts. While a couple others said, "Oh my gosh, it's not a drill," and "Oh my gosh, the alabasters are going off."

She said there was a period of silence while she composed herself before she spoke again to keep it together.

She seems to have gotten through it. She said that she had to keep her composure in the moment and that she started to cry when they cut to commercial.

A student and a teacher were shot and killed by a 19-year-old man with an assault rifle. Police shot and killed him during an exchange of gunfire.

He graduated from the high school a year prior.

Martha Stewart would love to go on a date with Pete Davidson if she could.

During a game called "red flag, yellow flag, green flag", she had to indicate whether she approves or disapproves of certain qualities in a partner.

The guy had tattoos like Pete. Martha was asked if she would go on a date with someone else. He was called "sorta cute" and doubled down after the idea was given a thumbs up.

The ladies ran with the idea despite the conversation turning out to be playful. Martha explained to Drew that it was a good thing that he had a lot of experience.

Pete Davidson was dating KimKardashian for 9 months before they broke up.

Martha told Drew that Pete is a good guy and knows how to get in and out of jail.

It was made clear that Pete is more like a son, but who knows.

George Floyd's brother isn't moving forward with legal action against West at the moment, but that doesn't mean he's out of the woods.

The man who's repping Philonise Floyd tells the website. Philonise is putting on hold his threat to file a lawsuit against Ye and others for pushing the narrative that George died from a drug.

Philonise instructed Lee to research a possible lawsuit after George's brother and other family members were incensed by the comments made on the show.

As for why he's standing down, we're told Philonise is hitting pause, specifically pertaining toKanye, because he just wanted him to stop repeating that false narrative about his brother's death, and that's exactly what's happened over the last week and

The controversial episode in question has been pulled and the host of the show went on an apology tour.

According to Philonise, Ye has complied with the demands made in the cease and desist letter sent on behalf of George Floyd's daughter, but he clarified that Philonise wasn't part of that potential legal action.

At this time, there is no word on whether the lawsuit could still move forward with more than $250 million in damages on the table.

It's when it comes to Candace. Ye spouting lies about the Floyd case is different from her role as a journalist presenting opinions in a documentary about BLM.

If Philonise doesn't start yapping about it again, Ye's good to go as far as he wants.
