Every stylish man has an item in his closet that he wouldn't trade for all the money in the world. It's called a grail, and it got us wondering: What's LeBron James’s grail? So we got the King to invite us out to his hometown of Akron, Ohio and show us his rarest, most prized possession. (Note: LeBron had to remove his grail from a special display case before our meeting.) Here, LeBron also unveils his new signature sneaker—the Nike LeBron XIII—tells us what the Cavs organization thinks about his motorcycle collection, and shows us the unique way he orders his favorite organic dishes at Whole Foods. But not before he goes head-to-head in a competitive grailing match with a couple GQ style editors. Only question is: Who has the holiest grail, GQ or King James?

Uncle Luke - informing us about heavily promiscuous women since '85. During his exclusive interview with us, Mr. Campbell discusses the decline in wholesome women and the rise of rappers "wifing" and ultimately marrying "h*es." "Most traditional hip-hop artists, we wife or we get married to real, good women," Luke explains. "We don't normally marry or wife h*es, we pass them off to the R&B cats - those the ones that be wifin' h*es."
A few weeks back Uncle Luke claimed "before Kanye West, rappers wasn't wifin' all these h*es." During our talk with him, the "I Wanna Rock" vocalist partially retracts his statement and outright says he doesn't "think Kim Kardashian is a h*e," more so because he doesn't consider adult film actresses or dancers to be in that category.
Uncle Luke goes on to describe what a h*e actually is, why men can be them, too, and what a person of that nature will always end up doing. "She always gon' try to upgrade...You'll take a h*e to a party and the first thing you'll notice [is] her eyes will be moving round the room, especially if she's in the room with some other guys whose status is higher than yours," Luke believes - and with his background and past encounters with said women, his statement may not be that far-fetched.
Press play to find out why Uncle Luke feels being with Kim "would actually enhance [Kanye's] chance of winning" the 2020 presidential election, and how nowadays, "everybody wants a photo-op so they can get more followers," below.
PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — The deadly shooting last week at an Oregon community college has an eerie parallel with the massacre at Sandy Hook Elementary School that killed 20 pupils and six adult staff members in 2012.
Like Adam Lanza, the gunman in the Connecticut massacre, Christopher Harper-Mercer was living a mostly solitary life with a mom who shared his fascination with firearms.
Both stories illustrate the struggles parents face caring for a deeply troubled child, struggles that can inadvertently lead to a volatile outcome made easier by ready access to weaponry.
Adam Lamza
"When you begin to bring guns into the home environment where you have that dangerous cocktail of behavior, that's pretty unbelievable," said Mary Ellen O'Toole, a former FBI profiler who directs George Mason University's forensic science program.
Harper-Mercer bears similarities to other school shooters: a young male focused on mass lethality and carrying out the killings in a military-like mission destined to end in the killer's own death, O'Toole said.
He was a loner in his 20s like James Holmes, who killed 12 people in a cinema in Aurora, Colorado, in 2012; Jared Loughner, who seriously wounded Rep. Gabby Giffords and killed six in Tucson, Arizona, in 2011; and Elliot Rodger, who killed six people near the University of California, Santa Barbara, campus last year.

Like Rodger, he left behind a note that complained about not having a girlfriend.
But the comparison to Lanza extends to the relationships both shooters had with their mothers and guns.
Both women were long-time gun enthusiasts, not uncommon in many parts of America where gun ownership is prevalent and encouraged. The two mothers amassed weapons and took their sons to shooting ranges, according to the investigation into the Sandy Hook shooting and the Daily Breeze newspaper in Torrance, California, where Harper lived for years with her son.
It's easy to judge them in hindsight, but deeply strained and complicated relationships often lead to bad or desperate parental decisions with tragic consequences, said psychologist Peter Langman, author of two books on school shooters. Many troubled young people are so impaired they're incapable of living on their own.
"In some cases, (parents) don't recognize there's a problem," Langman said. "In other cases, they're aware of their child's mental health issues, but they don't see any evidence of violence, so they don't see any reason not to take their kid target shooting."
Parents may also use guns to bond with a mentally troubled, isolated child who is obsessed with weapons and violence, he said.
Laurel Harper's online postings don't indicate she knew her son had violent tendencies, but it is clear she relished her weapons.
Investigators found eight guns in the apartment she shared with her son near the North Umpqua River and another six at the school where he killed eight students and a professor before killing himself last week.
She wrote enthusiastically about assault rifles and pistols and derided gun-control efforts in "lame states" on Yahoo! Answers using an account that is linked to an email address associated with her.
"I keep two full mags in my Glock case," she wrote in a three-year-old posting. "No one will be 'dropping' by my house uninvited."
Harper could not be located for comment and has not returned messages left by The Associated Press at her home.
The nurse, who moved to rural Oregon with her son from the Los Angeles area two years ago, speaks frankly in the postings about her son's Asperger's syndrome, a mild form of autism. Experts say that people diagnosed with Asperger's are not more prone to violence than anyone else.
Investigators said the mother has told them he had mental health issues, but have not released details.
Social profiles linked to her son suggested he tracked other mass shootings and was fascinated by the Irish Republican Army. Neighbors in the Los Angeles-area suburb of Torrance, where the mother and son lived before moving to Oregon, recalled him as uncommunicative, having child-like tantrums and loud fights with his mother, who was overprotective of him.
Adam Lanza's mother Nancy Lanza also struggled with her son, who had developmental issues from early childhood, according to a report released last November by the Connecticut Office of the Child Advocate.
The report said Lanza's mother, like Harper-Mercer's, was doting. She attempted to eliminate disruptions to Adam Lanza's life "entirely through hypervigilance and management of his symptoms." In emails to her son, she wrote she loved him and wanted him to be happy, according to the report.
But Nancy Lanza isolated her son from the world. And while she sought some treatment for him, she rejected other help and was in denial about her son's illness. The teen became increasingly preoccupied with mass murder and engaged in a cyber-community of mass murder enthusiasts. Before the shooting, he lived in virtual social isolation, spent months in his bedroom with the windows blacked out, and communicated with his mother only through email.
The report says access to assault weapons with high capacity magazines "did play a major role" in the Sandy Hook massacre, alongside inadequate and uncoordinated mental health services and Adam Lanza's extreme preoccupation with violence. His mother, it notes, "seemed unaware of any potential detrimental impact of providing unfettered access to firearms."
While most young men who commit mass shootings show evidence of mental problems, the vast majority of mentally ill people aren't violent.
Liza Long, an instructor at the College of Western Idaho, understands what Harper was up against. Her then-13-year-old son, who suffered from mental illness, pulled a knife on her and threatened to kill her and himself.
Long said services for severely mentally troubled children are inadequate, and insurance carriers often won't pay them. Before getting diagnosed and treated for bipolar disorder, her son was misdiagnosed multiple times and she struggled to find residential treatment for him.
"From a mom's perspective, we end up living in shame and silence," said Long, who wrote a book about her experiences. "You're basically hiding, because you're isolated."
Police have not announced a motive for Harper-Mercer's deadly rampage. That is likely to be based on what they recovered from the note he left behind and what his mother has revealed.
Investigators in the Sandy Hook shooting were never sure what drove Adam Lanza to kill. He destroyed his computer and his mother was his first victim.
While visiting France recently Travis Scott sat down with CliqueTV.
He talks about the feeling he gets when rocking a crowd, listening to music to get through tough times, God putting him here to help people's souls and Ferguson riots.
"I don't really get involved with too much political shit. That shit's too weird," Travis said. "Are [protesters] still in Ferguson? I don't think so. But I'm pretty sure nigga's lot is still burned the fuck down. Nigga's cribs are fucked up now. Nigga's neighborhoods that were probably once good, now are ghetto."
Manila (AFP) - Philippine boxing hero Manny Pacquiao announced Wednesday he would likely retire next year after one last fight so he could focus on a career in politics, hopefully as a senator.
The born-again Christian, winner of an unprecedented eight world titles in as many weight divisions and at times touted as a future president of the Philippines, said he had taken career advice from God.
"I think I'm ready (to retire). I've been in boxing for more than 20 years," Pacquiao, 36, said in an interview on local ABS-CBN television network.
"I prayed to God for guidance and I am happy about it."
Pacquiao turned professional when he was 16 years old and has won 57 fights, including 38 knockouts while losing six, three of them knockouts. Two other bouts ended in a draw.
He lost a unanimous decision in May to unbeaten American Floyd Mayweather in boxing's richest bout, which the Filipino fought with a torn rotator cuff in his right shoulder.
Pacquiao, a congressman since 2010, announced this week his bid for a senate seat in national elections to be held in May next year.
"I will have to give up the other things that require my attention. If you are a senator, your focus should only be your job and your family," he said in the interview.
Pacquiao said before the elections he planned to climb into the ring for what would probably be one last time, most likely in March.
He said he was yet to pick his next opponent, and was not ruling out a rematch with Mayweather, even though the American had already announced his retirement.
- Rags to riches -
A rags-to-riches Philippine idol, Pacquiao, a former street vendor, has shrewdly parlayed his boxing success into a career in show business, product endorsements and politics.
Now representing his southern province of Sarangani in the lower chamber of congress, the pint-sized Pacquiao is also an improbable professional basketball player and a Christian pastor.
He was mercilessly criticised on social media this week after it was reported he had attended just four legislative sessions out of 70 this year due to sporting and other commitments.
Despite this, the latest pre-election surveys put him in the winning circle of the 12 senatorial slots up for grab at the polls.
Pacquiao pledged Wednesday he would be a "serious" senator.
"I will not be absent because the whole country will be my responsibility," he said.
Political analyst Ramon Casiple said Pacquiao enjoyed a special "rapport" with the masses that would translate into electoral success.
"The perception is that he is approachable, he has an empathy for Filipinos," Casiple said.
But he warned that in the Senate, Pacquiao would be "under a microscope," with many people looking for signs that he was not working or did not understand the issues.
Casiple also warned that even Pacquiao's popularity might not be enough to get him the presidency down the track.
"His popularity will not be much of an advantage because he will (then) be up against people who are also well-known," he said.
Pacquiao heads his own political party but hinted Wednesday he would run for the Senate under the banner of Vice President Jejomar Binay, the current main opposition leader who is running for president in 2016.
Nikki Mudarris and producer Mally Mall are going through a rough break up.
Last week a sex tape of the Love And Hip Hop: Hollywood stars hit the internet. Mudarris now claims it was filmed without her knowledge and released by Mally out of spite.
TMZ reports that Mudarris has filed for and been granted a restraining order against her ex, requiring him to stay at least 100 yards away and cease contact.
Mudarris claims Mally is suicidal. He allegedly told her he would "EXPOSE UR DIRTY P" if she didn't stop being a bitch. A week later the sex tape leaked.
She also accuses him of physical abuse, destroying her personal property (cell phones) and believes he has made more explicit tapes without her knowledge to blackmail her.
When TMZ spoke with Mally on Tuesday, October 7, he said he's the one who made his former lover a star and was done with it all. Peep what he had to say below.
David Banner sits down with DJ Smallz to talk about his lectures, the atrocities African Americans have suffered, not allowing himself to be silenced like Malcolm X and Martin Luther King Jr., why he started rapping again and much more.
Battle rap legend Murda Mook was in attendance for the Keith Murray vs. Fredro Starr battle and spoke on various topics such as his predictions for the match-up, what other celebrities he feels are capable of doing their thing in the ring, and the possibility of battling Loaded Lux for the third time.
After expressing his disappointment that the two emcees were battling on a beat, he stated his belief that if the battle was in an acapella format, Fredro Starr would be victorious.
During Loaded Lux's most recent visit to the Vlad couch, the "Beloved" emcee stated that he was willing to step in the ring with Murda Mook for the third time. When asked if he was up for the challenge, Mook stated that although he is not interested in battling Lux again at the current moment, if the money is right he is down to face off with the fellow uptown legend to solidify his spot as the king of Harlem.
Watch the full clip below to get Mook's prediction for the upcoming battle between Hollow Da Don and former KOTD champ Pat Stay and much more.
Ronda Rousey has thrown several jabs at Floyd Mayweather Jr. over the past several months.
Floyd doesn't seem at all bothered. In fact he often says he has no idea who Rousey is, while the UFC champion has maintained that she could beat the former boxing champ in a mixed martial arts fight.
During her appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon on Tuesday, October 6, Rousey said she'll make sure Money May remembers her in the future.
"I haven't gotten any texts or calls [from Floyd]," Rousey told Jimmy. "He still maintains he has no clue who I am. If I ever run into him...every time I run into him I'm gonna reintroduce myself every time. Maybe one day he'll actually remember me."
Losing a fight is nothing to be ashamed of, but crapping all over the mat afterwards might be a different story.
On Saturday, October 3, mixed martial arts heavyweights Daniel Cooper and Travis Wolford squared off at Ruckus in the Cage in West Virginia.
Cooper forced Wolford to submit after catching him in a guillotine choke. When Cooper got his feet you could see that he had suffered an embarrassing accident.
"Everyone is still talking about it. Never seen anything this gross in my entire career of promoting fights but shit happens and could happen to anyone," Ruckus in the Cage promoter, Chris Smith, said via Bloody Elbow. "Daniel Cooper literally beat the crap out of "The Brown Bomber" Travis Wolford in Ruckus in the Cage in Beckley Oct. 3. Before the fights started he went to Chili Night and ate some hot chili. During his bout he had a colossal explosion where chili beans and everything he ate landed all over the mat. Says he instantly lost 15 pounds.... Plans on fighting November 13 in Summersville to prove that it was just an accident. Any takers???"
VladTV caught up with G-Unit comedian Jack Thriller at the jam packed Keith Murray and Fredro Starr event. In this exclusive he shared his high hopes for the battle and also spoke on being unsuccessful when he stepped in the ring at the BX Fight Club.
Jack took off his host hat for the BX Fight Club, and recently decided to throw the gloves on and suffered a loss while facing off against frequent BXFC participant, Proteus. When asked for a recap of the fight, the 16 or Better CEO explained that taking the L was due to him being out of shape and less prepared for the bout than his opponent. He then informed battle rap correspondent Mike Florence that he was ready to redeem himself by knocking out a man who he had been involved in a confrontation with earlier in the evening.
The clip closes out with Jack sharing his strategy for his upcoming celebrity boxing match with 40 Glocc and also stating how he was unable to predict who would be the winner between Fredro Starr and Keith Murray.
Keeping Up With the Kardashians and it's spinoffs would have a closet full of Emmy Awards if Kanye West had anything to do with it.
The controversial rapper gave his opinion on the subject during an interview with Louisa Stoppard on SHOWstudio's"Camera."
"I feel proud to be in a family that has so many people breaking ground for the generations to come," West said in response vto a question aboutCaitlyn Jenner. "I just feel like, 'Whoa, reality show.' That's so fucking new of an art form. My wife and her family should have had plenty of Emmys by now. But reality shows are considered to be like rap was when the Montriond wouldn't let Run DMC or motherfucking Will Smith stay there because they were rappers. Or the idea that a of a reality star not being allowed into a fashion show. Or not being nominated for their show even if it's the longest running and the most popular and everybody I know watches it."
