One of Khloé Kardashian's ex-boyfriends is speaking out, and he claimed he never really had feelings for the reality TV star.
Rashad McCants and Khloé, 42, briefly dated from 2008 to 2009, and the former NBA player, 41, spoke about their relationship during a recent appearance on the TFU Podcast.
McCants said that Facebook was just beginning to take off during their relationship, and he changed his relationship status to "It's complicated." The move caused the Good American founder to question his reasoning behind the change.
"It's complicated. You date me because you want me to help you do some [expletive]. We have an agreement. This is not, I like you. I like your sister," McCants explained, referring to Khloé's older sister Kim Kardashian, whose boyfriend at the time, Reggie Bush, introduced him to Khloé. "I'm here for different reasons, so are you, so it's complicated."

Malcolm-Jamal Warner's financial legacy is a classic study in how huge cultural fame doesn't always translate into a massive fortune. After soaring to stardom at age 14 as Theo Huxtable on "The Cosby Show," he spent the next four decades consistently working as an actor, director and Grammy-winning musician. Yet, despite his enduring career and broad household recognition, his overall wealth never quite reached the blockbuster heights many ******* umed. When he tragically drowned at age 54 while on a family vacation in Costa Rica in July 2025, he left behind an estate worth only a fraction of public expectations.
A year after his passing, that estate has found itself wrapped up in legal drama. His widow is currently suing his mother over a family trust dating back to 1996 and an unfulfilled prenuptial agreement. Examining Malcolm-Jamal Warner's net worth uncovers the full story of his career earnings, the actual ******* ets he left behind and the complicated legal battle now dividing his family over his estate.
The honest answer is that no one outside the cast knows the exact figures. Residual payments to individual actors were never made public. Still, two things are clear. The show itself was a syndication machine, and the checks have largely stopped.
The scale was staggering. In 1988, local stations paid a then-record $500 million for the rerun rights, TV Guide reported. That came to nearly $4 million per episode across 172 markets. Bill Cosby held a 20% equity stake, and he earned roughly $166 million from that single deal. Over the decades, the series generated more than $1.5 billion in global syndication revenue.
Those syndication numbers belong to the show and its creator, though, not to the young cast. They also explain why Malcolm-Jamal Warner's net worth never reached Cosby-level heights. Actors instead earn residuals on a sliding scale that shrinks with each rerun, and specific amounts stay private. Warner's cut, like that of castmates such as Phylicia Rashad and Joseph C. Phillips, was never disclosed.

Chadwick Boseman built one of the most purposeful careers in modern Hollywood, and he did it in barely a decade. He played Jackie Robinson, James Brown and Thurgood Marshall. Then came King T'Challa, the role that turned a Marvel movie into a cultural event. In August 2020, he was gone at 43. Fans learned only afterward that he had been fighting colon cancer the entire time.
What he left behind is smaller than most people **** ume, and far more complicated. Boseman died without a will. Nearly six years later, his estate is back in a Los Angeles courtroom. His brothers and his widow now sit on opposite sides of the filing. Here is a closer look at how he died and who he married. We also break down his net worth and why the fight over his legacy drags on.
Boseman died on Aug. 28, 2020, at his home in the Los Angeles area. He was 43. Ultimately, his family confirmed the cause as colon cancer in a statement posted to his social accounts. He died with his wife and family beside him.
Notably, doctors diagnosed him with stage III colon cancer in 2016, and the disease later progressed to stage IV. Yet he never disclosed it publicly. Instead, he kept filming through surgeries and chemotherapy. That stretch produced "Marshall," "Black Panther," "Avengers: Infinity War" and "Avengers: Endgame." It also produced "Da 5 Bloods" and "Ma Rainey's Black Bottom." That final role earned him a posthumous Academy Award nomination.
Boseman was born on Nov. 29, 1976, in Anderson, South Carolina, to Carolyn, a nurse, and Leroy, who worked in a textile factory. He studied at Howard University under Phylicia Rashad. A summer program at Oxford accepted him, but he could not afford it. So Rashad quietly raised the money from her friends. One of those donors turned out to be Denzel Washington, as Boseman revealed publicly in 2019. "There is no Black Panther without Denzel Washington," he told an AFI audience.

"He already won the Olympic gold medal atheavyweight in wrestling. That is so hard to do, I can't even tellyou. Where is the ceiling? What can he accomplish? What can hedo?"
Jackson, who has coached some of UFC's biggest names, includingGeorges St.Pierre, RashadEvans, Holly Holm,and Jones, further said about Steveson, "I've worked with most ofthe greatest fighters to ever do this game, and his athleticability is unprecedented… The way he thinks about things, how smarthe is, how coachable, you need to tune in now to see where theceiling for this guy is. He might be redefining what this sportis."

The Oregon Ducks had the opportunity to further bolster their impressive 2027 class on Saturday, but it wasn't meant to be. Long having been a factor in offensive lineman Ismael Camara's recruitment, the consensus five-star opted to commit to the Texas Longhorns. The SMU Mustangs and LSU Tigers were also considered along with Oregon.
The writing was on the wall in June, as Camara cancelled his official visit to Eugene and a crystal ball prediction was logged for Camara to land with the Longhorns. Now, on the morning of the 4th of July, that prediction became a reality.
The addition of the 6-foot-6, 340-pound Texas native would've boosted the Ducks' No. 2 recruiting ranking, as they've reeled in two other five-stars in wide receiver Dakota Guerrant and edge rusher Rashad Streets. The only other program ahead of the Ducks in the recruiting rankings are the Texas A&M Aggies, who also have a pair of five-star commits.
But in the end, Texas emerged as the favorite and secured the commitment of the in-state product Camara, who is the No. 3 offensive tackle and No. 20 player overall in the 2027 class, per 247Sports Composite.
Despite missing out on Camara, the Ducks are still in a solid spot along on the offensive line in the 2027 class with four-star Cameron Wagner, four-star Gus Corsair, three-star Avery Michael and three-star Lex Mailangi all having committed to Oregon.

With the calendar turning to July, we're officially in the second half of 2026. The first half of the year produced some truly special moments, some serious head-scratchers and everything in between in the world of professional wrestling.
All throughout, we've been watching, ******* yzing, critiquing and fantasy booking, so what better group to dissect 2026 so far than the Uncrowned Horsemen themselves. So, without further ado, here's how Robert Jackman, Raj Prashad, Drake Riggs and Anthony Sulla-Heffinger rate the first half of the year in pro wrestling.
Let's ride!
Robert Jackman: I imagine we're going to have a fair bit of agreement here, but so be it. I'm going with Ospreay and Strickland at Forbidden Door this weekend. I really don't have much to add to Riggs' six-star review and live blog from the night itself, which now reads like a first draft of history.
It really was one of those matches that just ticked every box. It was athletically and technically impressive, it was well paced, there were killer spots, and it had a good storyline running throughout. The fact that they even made good use of the Death Riders feels like showing off. I mean, last year I couldn't wait to see the back of that crew, but they actually made it work.

Rashad Evans sees Ian Machado Garry as a solid test for UFC welterweight champion Islam Makhachev.
Machado Garry (17-1 MMA, 10-1 UFC) challenges Makhachev (28-1 MMA, 17-1 UFC) for the welterweight ****** le in the UFC 330 main event on Aug. 15 at Xfinity Mobile Arena in Philadelphia (Paramount+).
Machado Garry is a sizable underdog against former two-division UFC champ Makhachev, but Evans thinks the Irishman's ability to make reads during the fight makes things interesting.
"This is a lot better fight than I initially thought," Evans said on UFC on Paramount+. "We know that Islam has morphed into so much more than being that dominant grappler, right? His striking and his kicks, all the aspects of his game is on another level, but there's something about Ian Garry's game that I feel is hard to get past.
"I feel like one thing that Ian does really well is that he makes adjustments really good on the fly. He's a problem solver, and I feel like that gives a little issue. He's got some sneaky power, he's got some accuracy, he's got some tricky things that he does."

The summer is a critical time for programs around the country to secure their future. In recent years, top recruits have shifted their timeline toward the summer months, often locking in a commitment and sticking to it until early signing day in December.
With official visit season now in the rearview mirror, the Oregon Ducks are now waiting to see their efforts pay off in the 2027 recruiting class, pushing for another top-five finish. The Ducks have recruited well in-state, securing four of the top players in the state, and landed five-star wideout Dakota Guerrant out of Michigan last week.
The only question moving forward is who will join the Ducks' class next?
Oregon wrapped its final weekend of official visits with an impressive guest list, including commits Will Mencl and Rashad Streets, as well as top targets five-star Xavier Sabb and four-star Brayton Feister. The Ducks have picked their spots well so far in this recruiting cycle, holding the No. 9 class in the nation, per Rivals.
The Ducks could see their class vault up in the rankings by the end of the summer. Recruiting experts have logged predictions for the Ducks to land Sabb and Feister, as well as four-star tight end Anthony Cartwright III and five-star corner Hayden Stepp.
