Are you ready for the most dramatic season of "The Bachelor" ever? How about at least since the one that aired last year? "Bachelor" creator Mike Fleiss tweeted that Ben Higgins's upcoming Season 20 (starting January 4, 2016) is his "favorite season since Jason and Molly." Considering Jason Mesnick didn't even pick Molly Malaney and that was the most controversial season of its time, that may be a sign for this round too.
Ben does give off a Jason-ish vibe, which could be good in the long run, since Jason and Molly are now married and beloved leaders of Bachelor Nation. Jason is one of three past Bachelors who will actually return on Ben's premiere to offer advice.
ABC just released details on the big 2016 premiere, plus scoop on Ben's upcoming dates, adding that contestant bios will be released soon. There are also spoilers on what happens in the premiere and finale,...

For a city that is the home of a 16-time NBA champion, is one of just two markets to house a second NBA team and features a state university that has won 11 Ncaa basketball championships, Los Angeles doesn't always get the respect it deserves as a hoops Mecca. You could throw out a starting five of current All-Stars including Russell Westbrook, James Harden, Paul George, Tyson Chandler and Kwai Leonard and the media and fans would still find themselves hyping New York or Chicago before sunny Southern California. The new documentary "The Drew: No Excuse, Just Produce" isn't intended to rectify that misconception, but it provides a lot of historical fodder to support the argument that basketball's real hot spot is Los Angeles. Directed by both former NBA and UCLA player Baron Davis and newcomer Chad Gordon, "No Excuse, Just Produce" is a love letter to The Drew League, a...

As the Indiana Pacers' baller was racing down the court during the U.S. National team's intrasquad scrimmage at Unlv Friday, he suffered an open tibia-fibula fracture. Essentially, it looked like his lower leg snapped in half – an injury that reminded us of former Louisville guard Kevin Ware's jaw-dropping leg break from a year ago (Warning: the video of the George's injury can be viewed here, but it is very graphic).

In December, the Toronto Raptors traded Rudy Gay and, more importantly, his massive contract to the Sacramento Kings.

Ross told Uinterview that his career highlight took place in January when he scored 51 points against the Los Angeles Clippers. “It’s kind of surreal. I didn’t really believe it happened where I really scored 51 points,” Ross said. “It must have been a misprint or something. It was just…...

As if J.R. Smith and the New York Knicks weren't already having a hard enough time defending Paul George and Roy Hibbert of the Indiana Pacers, they now need to worry about deflecting alleged attacks from Rihanna.
The 25-year-old singer seems to have ripped Smith in an exchange on Instagram just hours before the Knicks faced a must-win Game 5 at Madison Square Garden on Thursday, apparently blaming his postseason struggles on being "hungover from clubbing every night during the playoffs." In a profanity-laced message attributed to her and directed to @peruvian_gawd, who is apparently a Knicks fan, Rihanna went off on the mercurial shooting guard.
The message does not appear on her account but a screengrab of alleged exchange can be seen here and in the video above.
Earlier in the Eastern Conference semifinal series against the Pacers, The Hollywood Life published photos of the pair together at a club.

Starring Ranbir Kapoor, Priyanka Chopra and Ileana D’Cruz, Anurag Basu’s Barfi! has captured the imagination and the interest of the fans of Bollywood the world over. I have to admit that this is the film that tops my list of movies I really truly cannot wait to see. In the film Ranbir instead of just playing has become Barfi, a charming and mischievous deaf/mute, who has the feel of Charlie Chaplain’s characters and Rowan Atkinson’s Mr. Bean, but of course is his own cute, crazy, sweet self. Priyanka Chopra, in what seems to be a fabulous performance if the trailer is anything to go by, is Jhilmil an autistic woman who is Barfi’s friend… Also in the cast of characters is Shruti played by Ileana D’Cruz who Barfi falls for but doe she fall for him?

Directed by Anurag Basu and also starring Priyanka Chopra and Ileana D’Cruz, Barfi! is one of the films we cannot wait to see. It seems as if we are in for a real treat with Pritam’s music as well! In fact, we hear star Ranbir Kapoor loves the music of this film. The first track ‘Ala Barfi’ was fab and now we have a new track to please the ears. Titled ‘Main Kya Karoon’, this lovely ballad with a cool beat features the vocal talents of Nikhil Paul George.
