W.A.S.P. leader Blackie Lawless has blasted Russian president Vladimir Putin as a “bully” whose motivation for invading Ukraine was “simple, godless selfishness.” Earlier today, Lawless released the following statement via W.A.S.P.‘s official web site: “With regards to any invading force, I am an American.

Samuel L. Jackson has hinted that he is open to returning to the Star Wars franchise as Mace Windu.

Drake Spends $200,000 USD in Search of Panini NBA Flawless Triple Logoman Insert Card
Drake has officially been bitten by the sports card bug. It was recently reported that the artist was on the hunt for Panini‘s first introduction of the Triple Logoman insert card. Part of the 2021 Flawless NBA basketball card collection, each set comes in a premium secure latched box where it only contains 10 cards. The most outrageous thing about this set is that they are currently priced at a starting price of $15,000 USD — that’s $1,500 USD a card. Drake’s quest for the Triple Logoman insert led him to buy a staggering 14 boxes which would have a street value of roughly $200,000 USD. Purchased from LA FAV Cards, one box was opened live with no luck. Things got even more interesting when Layton Sports Cards pulled the Giannis Antetokounmpo/Kevin Durant/Stephen Curry Triple Logoman card,...
