KOBE BRYANT INDUCTED INTO NBA HALL OF FAME
Kobe Bryant is now officially in the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame. Thanks to a moving speech from Vanessa Bryant, there wasn’t a dry eye in the house.
The late baller’s widow appeared on stage with Michael Jordan as she spoke of his accomplishments on and off the court – from his five NBA championships with the Los Angeles Lakers to being an amazing husband and father. “I used to avoid praising my husband in public because I felt like he got enough praise from his fans around the world and someone had to bring him back to reality,” she started her tribute. “Right now, I’m sure he’s laughing in heaven because I’m about to praise him in public for his accomplishments on one of the most public stages. I could see him know, arms folded, with a huge grin saying, ‘Isn’t this some [ish]?’ He’s still winning.”
Kobe was elected into the Hall of Fame in his first year of eligibility just three months after he and his 13-year-old daughter, Gianna, were killed in a helicopter crash in Southern California along with seven others.

BILL GATES LEFT MEETING AMID PROBE INTO PRIOR RELATIONSHIP WITH STAFFER
It seems that Bill Gates was known for philandering as much as for philanthropy. Apparently, he was being investigated for a long-term affair he’d had with a Microsoft employee when he stepped down from the company’s board last year.
According to the "Wall Street Journal," the company’s board found out that one of the engineers wrote a letter in 2019 claiming that she and Melinda Gates’ soon-to-be ex-husband had been sleeping together for years. In addition to wanting changes to her job, she also wanted Melinda to read her letter. It’s not clear of that happened, but the company conducted an investigation. He stepped down before it could be completed.
While a spokesperson admitted that there was an affair almost 20 years ago that ended amicably, she denied that him stepping down from the board had anything to do with that. “He had expressed an interest in spending more time on his philanthropy starting several years earlier,” the rep said.

SHANNA MOAKLER SHARES VIDEO REMOVING HER TRAVIS BARKER TATTOO
Shanna Moakler is getting rid of all traces of her ex Travis Barker. As we previously reported, things are getting more serious between Barker and Kourtney Kardashian –and while Moakler is “happy for him,” she also thinks their online PDA is “weird.” And now she’s scrubbing him out of her life –or off of her skin, rather.
Moakler has shared a video on Instagram giving Nurse Jamie a visit in Los Angeles to use a “powerful laser” to erase her “Travis” tattoo from her wrist. “It’s my ex’s name. Don’t tattoo names on your body, kids,” she says. “[The procedure] is intense, but it’s worth it! Hours after posting the video, Moakler addressed some of her “new found haters.”
First of all, she says she’s been planning on removing the tattoo for a while. But she also says she’s giving her ex a taste of his own medicine, after he got a skull tattooed over her initials while Kardashian “lovingly looked on”... which Moakler says was “done with purpose and intent with posts to try to insult me and my happiness with my new man.
