Hugh Hefner's longtime rival Larry Flynt thinks the Playboy magazine boss is making a terrible decision by taking nudity out of his publication.
"You know Hefner's 90 now. I knew he was getting old, but I didn't know he'd lost his mind," the Hustler magazine founder told CNN on Sunday. "How can you take the most important feature in your magazine and drop it? I think it was a silly move."

Lil Wayne may have to add $80,682.45 to the $2 million he's already been ordered to pay Signature Group.
The $80K is what his legal team Garbett, Allen & Roza is suing him for. The rapper paid the $12K retainer fee to the lawyers who represented him in the case, but hasn't coughed up another penny, according to TMZ.
Aswe previously reported, Signature accused Weezy of initially compensating them $55,000 a month, per their 3-year agreement, then suddenly stopping the payments. They continued doing business with him until the bill hit $1 million. At which time they decided to take him to court.
After late fees were applied the bill ballooned to $1.8 million. In September a judge ordered him to pay that amount, plus $200K for the company's lawyers fees.

Only God knows what the Indianapolis Colts were trying to do when they lined up for an ill-fated fake punt attempt against the New England Patriots.
Trailing by 6 points in the 3rd quarter, the team shifted all but 2 players to one side of the field. They then inexplicably snapped the ball to a player in the middle of the filed who had no blockers in front of him.
"The whole idea there was on a fourth-and-3 or less, shift an alignment to where you either catch them misaligned, they try to sub some people in and catch them with 12 men on the field, (or) if you get a certain look, you've got 3 yards, 2 yards, you can make a play," CoachChuck Paganosaid after the game. "We shifted over and I didn't do a good enough coaching it during the week. Alignment-wise we weren't aligned correctly, and then communication-wise (we had) a breakdown on the snap. And that's all on me. I didn't do a good enough job coaching that. And it played a huge factor in this loss."
It turned into an easy stop for the Patriots defense. Somebody should be fired for this. Watch the hilarious shenanigans below.

At 35-years old Lamar Odom has dealt with more tragedy than most people could handle.
His father was a drug addict. His mother died from cancer when he was 12-years old. That left the duty of raising him to his grandmother, who then also died. He lost his 6-month old son to sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS). A cousin was murdered. Then in June his best friend, Jamie Sangouthai, died from a heroin related infection.

Despite his previous comments about Drake, Charlamagne told VladTV that he thinks Meek Mill should rethink his plans to release a new diss track with the Sauce Twinz aimed at the Toronto rapper.
The Breakfast Club host explained that it was fairly clear that Meek got beat by Drake in their intense beef, and Charlamagne feels like the Philly rapper should just walk away from the situation. He added that Meek should focus more on dropping a hot record right now than going back to the past to diss Drake.

Washington (CNN) Donald Trump, under fire for suggesting that George W. Bush shared in the blame for the 9/11 terrorist attacks because they happened during his presidency, repeatedly declined to engage with reporters about the matter Friday night -- opting instead to continue a long-running feud with Jeb Bush on Twitter afterwards.
.@JebBush, At the debate you said your brother kept us safe- I wanted to be nice & did not mention the WTC came down during his watch, 9/11.
Trump regularly speaks with reporters at campaign events and often takes multiple questions in an impromptu manner, making his silence Friday all the more noticeable.
When asked by CNN after a rally at a local high school here if he thought the attacks were George W. Bush's fault, Trump, after pausing to listen to the question, walked away.
Minutes later, he again declined to say anything when asked to react to Bush's response on Twitter, ignoring at least half a dozen questions on the matter before driving away in his motorcade. He did respond to questions about the crowd size at his campaign event Friday and why he was campaigning in Massachusetts.
The controversy began Friday morning when Trump implied that the former president could share some blame for the attacks that killed nearly 3,000 Americans, as he was in office at the time.
"When you talk about George Bush, I mean, say what you want, the World Trade Center came down during his time," Trump said on Bloomberg TV.
Bloomberg anchor Stephanie Ruhle interjected, "Hold on, you can't blame George Bush for that," before Trump stood by his comments.
"He was president, OK? ... Blame him, or don't blame him, but he was president. The World Trade Center came down during his reign," Trump said.
Jeb Bush angrily responded Friday afternoon, calling the comment "pathetic."
"How pathetic for @realdonaldtrump to criticize the president for 9/11. We were attacked & my brother kept us safe," he tweeted.
Bush's White House Press Secretary, Ari Fleischer, told CNN Friday that Trump sounds like a "truther," slang for someone who believes the U.S. government was behind the attacks.
"When Donald Trump implies that since 9/11 took place on Bush's watch he is partially responsible for it, he's starting to sound like a truther," he said. "And after all, does Donald Trump also think since Pearl Harbor happened on FDR's watch that FDR is responsible?"
"I just think he belongs to an extraordinarily small faction of people who blame 9/11 on George Bush. Interestingly, Hillary Clinton was one of those people for short time," he added.
Appearing in suburban Washington on Friday evening, Trump's presidential rival Ben Carson distanced himself from Trump's remark -- though he said he hadn't heard it.
"I would be surprised if he blamed him for it. That wouldn't make much sense, would it?" he said. "I think it's ridiculous to suggest that he's responsible for it."
Trump has previously taken aim at Bush, calling his presidency a "disaster." And he said last week that the decision to invade Afghanistan in 2001 was a "terrible mistake."
"We made a terrible mistake getting involved there in the first place," Trump said. "It's a mess, it's a mess and at this point we probably have to (leave U.S. troops in Afghanistan) because that thing will collapse in about two seconds after they leave."
Trump's comments to Bloomberg on Friday came in response to a question from Ruhle about his "soft hand." She said the world had seen his strong side, but Bush after 9/11 and President Barack Obama after the Sandy Hook massacre both had to stand in front of America and show a different side of them.
"I need to know that you will make us feel safe and you will make us feel proud," Ruhle said to Trump.
"I think I have a bigger heart than all of them. I think I'm much more competent than all of them," Trump said, before getting into the criticism of Bush.
He didn't spare Obama -- though he did not seem to lay the blame for the school shooting at his feet in the same way as Bush.
"If you look at Sandy Hook, those people are still begging for help. It's a disaster, and it's a disaster all over the place," Trump said.
"What we need is a leader. We don't have a leader," he added.

(Reuters) The world's most-wanted drug boss, Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman, narrowly evaded security forces searching for him in the northwest of Mexico in recent days, sustaining injuries to his face and leg, the Mexican government said on Friday.
Guzman, the head of the Sinaloa drug cartel, escaped from his high-security prison cell in July through a specially dug tunnel, causing a major embarrassment for Mexican President Enrique Pena Nieto.
In a statement, the Mexican government said it had worked with international agencies to capture Guzman, and that in recent weeks, efforts had been focused on the northwest of the country, not far from Guzman's native turf of Sinaloa state.
"As a result of these actions, and to avoid his capture, in recent days, the fugitive engaged in a hasty retreat, which, according to the information received, caused him injuries to one leg and the face," the government statement said.
"It's important to clarify that these injuries were not a product of a direct clash," the statement added, without giving further information.
In August, the acting head of the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration said the U.S. government believed Guzman was still in Mexico.
