Murals have been popping up all over Australia for the last several months, depicting 50 Cent as other celebrities. Muralist Lushsux, who describes himself as a 50 Cent stan account, has shared photos of his countless artworks showing the rapper as Tekashi 6ix9ine, Mike Pence, Mike Tyson, and others. 

As weeks fly by, 50 Cent has expressed his anger at the situation, demanding that the artist cease producing any representations of his likeness on the street. Lushsux refuses to stop though and it looks like things finally caught up to him.

“This guy needs an ass whoopin bad, he still doing this shit,” wrote Fiddy about the artist. Apparently, people took his directions to heart and attacked Lushsux in the street, leaving him in the hospital.

‘Unfortunately some 6 or 7 smoothebrains at one time on the street already put me in hospital already this month because of this shit,” he revealed.

Hearing about the assault, Fif denied responsibility and issued his official response.

“The artist got [punched] in the [face] that wasn’t me i didn’t do that,” says the rapper on his latest post. 

He may not be claiming responsibility for the attack but he did say, numerous times at that, that the artist should get what’s coming to him. Do you think he’s to blame?

Tom Hanks detailed his, and his wife Rita Wilson’s experience with contracting COVID-19 in Australia.

Speaking on The NationalDefense, a radio show dedicated to the military, veterans and their families, Hanks explains that his wife suffered much worse from the virus: “Rita had a much tougher time than I did,” Hanks said. “She had a much higher fever. She had lost her sense of taste and sense of smell. I had some bad body aches and fatigue.”

The two were quarantined for three days in an Australian hospital. During that time, Hanks attempted to continue his usual workout regime but struggled. He didn’t understand the severity of the virus at the time and confused the doctors by asking what was wrong with him: “She looked at me through her glasses like she was talking to the dumbest human being, and she said [sternly], ‘You have COVID-19,'”

Wilson explained the situation in her own words to The Guardian earlier this week. She described her symptoms saying, “Extreme nausea, vertigo, my muscles felt like wet noodles, so I couldn’t really stand.”

“We were taking care of each other instead of having the pressure of taking care of one person and no one taking care of you or understanding that the person at home needs a break. We were fortunate we were in a place where we understood what the other was going through,” she continued.

LaMelo Ball is one of the biggest names heading into the NBA draft and many predict he could be taken within the first three picks. Instead of going the college route, Ball decided to play in Australia for the Illawarra Hawks of the NBL. While his season may have ended early due to an injury, he still fell in love with the league and the country he got to call home. According to ESPN, Ball, and his manager Jermaine Jackson have just finalized a deal to buy the team,

Yes, that’s right, LaMelo Ball owns his very own NBL team. As Jackson explains, they made the decision after being told that the Hawks had some financial issues. Ball wants to see the team thrive and plans to implement the best employees possible to create a program that makes the fans in the city proud.

“Melo loves the Illawarra fans,” Jackson said. “He loves that community. They opened their arms to him. They made us feel like we are at home. When we started hearing about the issues they were going through, we talked about it and decided, ‘Let’s own the team.’ He is going to be locked into his NBA career, but we are going to hire the right people to oversee everything. He wants to create the best basketball program possible for that community there.”

This is a huge move considering Ball has yet to play a single game in the NBA. When you already own a team at such a young age, it’s proof that you have an entrepreneurial spirit and it will be interesting to see what he does with his newfound purchase.

Tom Hanks and Rita Wilson are officially free from their 2-week quarantine in Australia, as the Hollywood couple were spotted cruising around L.A. on Friday. A few weeks ago, Tom announced social media that he and his wife had both tested positive for coronavirus while they were visiting the land down under to film Tom’s movie. The actor couple have been providing regular updates on their condition, always maintaining a positive attitude despite the unfortunate circumstances. Thankfully, it looks like the two of them have been released from quarantine and have headed back home, as they were spotted driving around L.A. on Friday. Tom and Rita were all smiles as they drove home from Van Nuys Airport, no doubt thrilled that they’re no longer isolated in a foreign country a million miles from home during a global pandemic.

Despite conflicting reports as to whether or not recovered patients of COVID-19 are immune to the virus, we expect the couple will still be practicing social distancing regardless by self-isolating at their home in L.A. In each of his updates, Tom has been emphasizing the importance of “flattening the curve” by staying indoors and avoiding others. We’re glad to see these two are back on their home turf and feeling better!

According to reports, Tom Hanks and his wife Rita Wilson have been released from a Queensland hospital in Australia on Tuesday after they tested positive for the coronavirus just five days ago. The couple are now in self-quarantine at their home there, a representative for Hanks told CNN.

The couple had been hospitalized in isolation after being diagnosed with novel coronavirus last week. They were in Australia because Hanks is portraying Elvis Presley’s manager, Colonel Tom Parker, in a biopic about the musician’s life directed by Baz Luhrmann. The film, which was scheduled for release in October 2021, has now suspended production, the news service noted.

The couple each took to Instagram to share the news last Thursday. "We felt a bit tired, like we had colds, and some body aches. Rita had some chills that came and went. Slight fevers too. To play things right, as is needed in the world right now, we were tested for the Coronavirus, and were found to be positive,' Hanks said in his first Instagram post about the diagnosis. "Well, now. What to do next? The Medical Officials have protocols that must be followed. We Hanks' will be tested, observed, and isolated for as long as public health and safety requires. Not much more to it than a one-day-at-a-time approach, no? We'll keep the world posted and updated. Take care of yourselves!"

Over the weekend, Hanks shared updates on their care and ongoing recovery.

Tom Hanks and his wife, Rita Wilson, are doing just fine in Australian quarantine due to their coronavirus contraction, according to the actor’s latest update social media. The world was shaken when Tom announced on Wednesday that he and Rita had tested positive for COVID-19 aka coronavirus during their trip to Australia, where Tom was busy filming the upcoming Baz Luhrmann-directed Elvis Presley biopic.

While it’s unclear at the moment whether Tom will still be taking on the role of Elvis’ manager, Colonel Tom Parker, in the film, the actor and his actress wife are focused solely on their recovery and ensuring that they don’t spread the virus to others. Of course, the couple are in isolation at the moment, but they made sure to thank everyone for their support and reassure us that everything will be okay, complete with one of Tom’s most famous film quotes.

“Hello folks,” he wrote on a selfie of both of them donning baseball caps. “@ritawilson and I want to thank everyone here Down Under who are taking such good care of us. We have Covid-19 and are in isolation so we do not spread it to anyone else. There are those for whom it could lead to a very serious illness. We are taking it one-day-at-a-time. There are things we can all do to get through this by following the advice of experts and taking care of ourselves and each other, no? Remember, despite all the current events, there is no crying in baseball. Hanx.” The reference to A League Of Their Own is just too wholesome, and as usual, Mr. Hanks continues to be a force of positivity. Keep these wise words in mind!

Some of Solange’s Syndey Australian fans have been struck with bad news since the When I Get Home singer has announced that two of her tour dates in the city have been canceled. Solange was set to perform a string of shows at the Sydney Opera House but due to some unknown health reasons, the singer has to cancel.

The official statement has been posted on the venue’s website, reading: “Solange has made the difficult decision, for health reasons, to shorten her time in Sydney this month. Due to the physical demands of the shows and having sought medical advice, the artist has decided to reduce the number of performances at the Opera House. As a result, the shows on Monday 27 and Tuesday 28 January 2020 will no longer take place, and will not be rescheduled.”

Due to the cancellation, the only remaining shows that Solange will perform will be January 30 and 31. 

This isn’t the first time Solange has had to cancel shows to an illness. Last year she pulled out of her Coachella set due to her band’s growing illness. While she hasn’t been listed to perform this year, she will be performing at the 2020 Governors Ball Music Festival in New York City this summer. 

Kylie Jenner wanted to let everyone know that she is not taking the situation in Australia lightly. Over the weekend Kylie reposted her sister Kim Kardashian's Instagram story, which addressed the devastating wildfires spreading in Australia right now and spread awareness on the alarming number of animals lost as a result. “Over half a BILLION animals have been killed in Australia,” Kim's post read. “This breaks my heart …” While Kylie's repost was still up on her story, however, she followed it up by showing off her pink Louis Vuitton slippers, that are made of mink and worth $1,480.00.
