  • New York Knicks Star Gets Brutally Honest About Shooting Slump


    The New York Knicks made plenty of history amidst Monday’s mauling of the Memphis Grizzles, enough so that even two three-pointers served as a landmark.

    Karl-Anthony Towns was offered some relief amidst the 143-106 shellacking, the game’s blowout nature allowed Towns to step out after a relatively low 33 minutes and a 2-of-4 mark from three-point range was part of his 24-point showing that created yet another double-double next to his 11 rebounds.

    “Man, it’s been a struggle huh?” a cheery Towns said in the aftermath in video from SNY. “It’s been looking bad, I ain’t gonna lie to you. I’ve been worried my damn self.”

    Amidst the Knicks’ active winning streak, which reached four on Monday, Towns was struggling to maintain his career-best shooting output from three-point range (just over 43 percent). A sprained thumb that kept him out of two games stifled such progress and he was 1-of-10 in the Knicks’ prior three before the Grizzlies visit.

    Monday’s game was his first date with multiple triples since Jan. 13’s loss to Detroit. It was part of one of the most dominant scoring outputs in recent Knicks memory, as they became just the 10th team in NBA history to score at least 143 points in consecutive regulation games.

    The struggles haven’t killed Towns’ confidence, which has propelled him to his first All-Star Game starting five nomination.

    “Every day, regardless of what happens, [I keep] a shooter’s mindset. If I’m shooting, the next one’s in,” Towns said (h/t SNY). “My teammates instill a bunch of confidence in me regardless of what’s happening. I just want to reward them for that kind of trust in me. I’m happy that tonight I hit got some threes that gave ourselves more space on the offensive side.”

    Monday’s win moved the Knicks (31-16) to within a game of the Eastern Conference’s second seed currently held by Boston. Towns’ next chance to carry his momentum from the outside lands on Wednesday when the Knicks host the Denver Nuggets (7:30 p.m. ET, ESPN).

    New York Knicks Star Gets Brutally Honest About Shooting Slump

    New York Knicks fans have been left frustrated as their star player has been struggling with his shooting form in recent games. The team’s leading scorer, who is usually a reliable shooter, has been unable to find his rhythm on the court.

    In a recent interview, the player opened up about his shooting slump, admitting that it has been a mental battle for him. He shared that he has been putting in extra hours in the gym, working with the team’s coaches to try and find a solution to his shooting woes.

    “It’s been tough, really tough,” the player said. “I know I’m better than this and I owe it to my team and the fans to get back to my usual form. I just need to stay focused and keep working hard.”

    Despite his struggles, the player remains optimistic and determined to bounce back. He knows that shooting slumps are a part of the game, but he is confident that he will be able to overcome this challenge and come out stronger on the other side.

    Knicks fans are hopeful that their star player will soon find his shooting touch again and lead the team to victory. In the meantime, they continue to show their support and cheer him on as he works through this rough patch.

  • “They’re Going To Marbury You” – Carmelo Anthony Was Brutally Honest While Breaking Down The Jimmy Butler Trade Saga


    Michael Reaves. Getty Images.

    With the NBA trade deadline quickly approaching (Feb 6th), it’s only a matter of time before we finally have a resolution one way or another to the Jimmy Butler saga. Deadlines spur action, so my guess is Shams already has the tweet written in his drafts and is just waiting on the confirmation before he sits sent on the tweet.

    As outsiders, all we can do is look at this situation through what’s being leaked to us from the team side and the player side. That can be tricky of course because when that happens you need to remember that you’re basically being given propaganda. The team is going to do what they can to make Jimmy look bad, and in return, Jimmy’s camp is going to do the same thing about Pat Riley and the franchise. It’s all an attempt to put pressure on one another while also winning the battle in the court of public opinion.

    It’s all posturing and agenda-pushing, much like it is with all of these types of trade demands. Remember the James Harden saga? Or the Ben Simmons saga? Or the Dame saga? There’s a reason these breakups are almost always nasty.

    That’s why I found Carmelo Anthony’s perspective on this situation pretty interesting. For all the annoying former player podcasts that may be out there that do nothing but say stupid shit in hopes of going viral, that’s never really been the case with Melo’s. In fact, I’d argue it’s actually one of the best listens we have if you’re looking for a player perspective. If there’s anyone who is qualified to weigh in on Bulter’s situation and all the different aspects that go along with it, it’s probably Melo. He’s a guy who has been there before, and while he didn’t exactly burn everything to the ground like Jimmy Butler tends to do, he did find himself in similar situations throughout this career

     Is it a coincidence that we’re now also getting leaks that Steph/Kerr don’t love the idea of adding Jimmy Butler to that team and that locker room? They are a team that desperately needs help for Steph, and even they are like “ehhhhhhhhh we’re OK”. To me, that’s partially what Melo is talking about. The way he’s acting, teams aren’t going to give a shit about the basketball side, which also has it’s own set of issues as he continues to age. At some point organizations are going to collectively decide you are not worth the trouble.

    His point about being “Marbury’d” should not be overlooked. We’ve seen how the league operates in cases like this. Teams simply remove you from the equation and exile you to overseas basketball. It wasn’t a situation where Marbury wasn’t an effective basketball player, it was everything else that came with it to where teams got to the point where they weren’t willing to put up with the bullshit.

    You can start to feel that happening with Butler. The Heat are telling him to stay away, other teams that could probably use his skillset are reluctant to bring him in. Given his age and price, who knows what the future looks like for Jimmy Butler after he picks up his final player option? Unless whoever trades for him immediately gives him an extension, is it so crazy to think that few teams if any will be blowing up his phone after his player option season next year? I don’t think you can rule out a scenario where this tweet becomes a reality

    In the end, I still think the Heat find a partner in these next few days. Despite all the drama and the bullshit that comes with bringing Jimmy Butler in, when guys want to be traded, they tend to be traded no matter how much they tank their value. James Harden got fat as shit and flat out quit during games and he got what he wanted. Ben Simmons simply refused to play altogether, and he got what he wanted. 

    But if I were Jimmy Butler, I’d probably listen to Melo on this one. He’s been there before, he’s gone through it, and honestly, he gave probably the best take on this entire situation. Sort of reminds me of another issue Melo was right on the nose about



    In a recent interview, Carmelo Anthony didn’t hold back when discussing the Jimmy Butler trade saga. He warned that if you’re not careful, they’re going to Marbury you – a reference to former NBA player Stephon Marbury, whose career was marred by controversy and drama.

    Anthony spoke candidly about the behind-the-scenes drama surrounding Butler’s trade request and eventual move to the Miami Heat. He emphasized the importance of staying focused and keeping a level head in the midst of trade rumors and off-court distractions.

    As a veteran player who has experienced his fair share of trade rumors and drama in the NBA, Anthony’s words carry weight. He knows firsthand the toll that off-court distractions can take on a player’s performance and mental well-being.

    So, for any players caught up in trade rumors or drama, heed Carmelo Anthony’s warning: stay focused, stay grounded, and don’t let them Marbury you. It’s a lesson that could make all the difference in a player’s career.

  • Love Island fans beg for movie night as they predict epic meltdown after Curtis brushed off romance with Ekin-Su to Danielle and claim he ‘hasn’t changed’ since brutally dumping Amy in series 5


    Love Island viewers have predicted movie night could end in an epic meltdown after Curtis Pritchard spent a night in the hideaway with bombshell Danielle Sellers.

    Curtis, 28, has been romancing Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu, 30, throughout the second series of Love Island: All Stars, with them both claiming they are ‘closed off’ to each other.

    However, fans have insisted Curtis did not given the impression of a taken man when he was whisked off on a date with Danielle, who picked him upon her villa arrival.

    While Curtis said he was ‘closed off’ to Ekin-Su, he followed it up by insisting he ‘barely knew’ her – as viewers begged for the moment to be shown on movie night.

    Movie night reveals private moments between Islanders to the rest of the cast and typically results in tension and rows when hidden secrets are revealed.

    Viewers have forecast that Ekin-Su will create a scene of colossal proportions, which they likened to a memorable moment between Curtis and his ex Amy Hart during season five of the show.

    They claimed that Curtis ‘hasn’t changed’ as he seemingly did a 180 on Ekin-Su, in the same way that he previously did to Amy during their series.

    After both returning from the Casa Amor twist, Curtis and Amy had a discussion where he revealed his head had been turned by model Jourdan Riane.

    Curtis famously left Amy reeling when she discovered that ahead of recoupling with her, he he’d shown an interest in pursuing Jourdan who he met in Casa Amor, with a devastated Amy informing him that she was gearing up to confess her love to him.

    Following the breakdown of their romance, Amy decided to leave the villa and quit the show to escape watching Curtis and Maura Higgins‘ relationship blossom.

    Sharing their thoughts on Curtis’ antics on Wednesday’s episode, they said: ‘All it took was one woman for Curtis’ head to turn. He hasn’t changed! What’; ‘I don’t really know the girl – Movie Night is going to finisshhhhh Curtis’;

    ‘Roll the rapes, bring on movie night Ekin needs to see what Curtis really said #LoveIsland’; ‘F*** Curtis’; ‘Oh look, it’s Curtis being Curtis *pretends to be shocked*’; ‘Curtis gets the slightest attention from the opposite gender and runs with it #LoveIsland’;

    ‘Ekin is going down the Amy route I fear’; ‘This is the Curtis I recognise’; ‘The way Curtis has gaslight Ekin, this is exactly what he did to Amy!!’; ‘Sorry did I just hear Curtis say “I don’t even know the girl” to Danielle about Ekin??’; ‘Curti is actually the villian in this scenario’;

    ‘I was rooting for this Curtis! He want Ekin to spiral so he can move on to the new girl without being the guy bad’; ‘Curtis has been a f*** boy idk why y’all are surprised’. 

    Viewers have forecast that Ekin-Su will create a scene of colossal proportions, which they likened to a memorable moment between Curtis and his ex Amy Hart during season five of the show

    On Wednesday, Ekin-Su pulled on viewer’s heartstrings as she broke down in Ronnie Vint’s arms after Curtis enjoyed his night in the hideaway.

    In the tearful moment, Ekin-Su got emotional as she saw Curtiscrack on with newcomer Danielle.

    New bombshell Danielle picked Curtis to join her in the hideaway for a flirty sleepover, while fellow newbie Sammy Root picked Elma Pazar.

    While Curtis and Ekin-Su have told each other they are ‘closed off’ and not looking to get to know anyone else who comes in, it appears Danielle has caught his eye.

    At the end of the episode, Curtis told Danielle he ‘regrets’ saying he was closed off with Ekin-Su and is keen to pursue Danielle.

    As Ekin-Su spotted their flirty chat, she broke down in tears and was comforted by Ronnie.

    Meanwhile, fans blasted Ekin-Su‘s ‘overreaction’ to Curtis staying in the hideaway with Danielle.

    Fans were left in hysterics as they claimed Ekin-Su was ‘making a deal out of nothing to get air time’.

    Series 10 contestant Sammy also stars on TOWIE and is looking forward to ruffling feathers with his villa entrance. 

    Sammy bagged the cash prize after winning the series alongside Jess Harding but called off their romance soon after they returned home.

    Speaking about his fresh chance at love, Sammy explained: ‘It did work out for me the first time, but things changed when I left the Villa. Hopefully this time round, I’ll leave with a relationship that goes the distance. 

    ‘Last time I was very much a boy and was immature at times in terms of not thinking about my actions beforehand.’

    He continued: ‘Now looking back, I feel like I’ve changed a lot and I’d like to think I’ve grown from a boy to a gentleman.’ 

    Danielle, who appeared in series three, is looking to find the man of her dreams as she returns.

    After appearing on the show as a bombshell in Casa Amor last time, Danielle is hoping she finds more luck this time round.

    She said: ‘I was a lot younger going in the first time, I was 21! I entered during Casa Amor and lots of the boys were in strong couples! 8 years on, I’m older and know what I want, so I’m going to just go for it!’

    Love Island: All Stars continues on ITV2 and ITVX at 9:00pm.

  • Terry Bradshaw brutally dismissed Chiefs three-peat hopes live on FOX NFL Sunday


    Terry Bradshaw doesn’t believe that postseason history will be made this year as he previously shot down the Kansas City Chiefs’ hopes of accomplishing a Super Bowl three-peat.

    On Saturday, star quarterback Patrick Mahomes and company will face off against C.J. Stroud and the Houston Texans in the Divisional Round. With a win over Houston and subsequent victory over either the Baltimore Ravens or Buffalo Bills in the AFC Championship game, Kansas City would punch its ticket to a third-consecutive Super Bowl.

    Unfortunately for the Chiefs, Bradshaw isn’t expecting them to get that far. While making an appearance on ‘ FOX NFL Sunday ’ last December, he voiced little belief in Kansas City’s playoff chances.

    “Are the Chiefs your number one team in the AFC right now?” Charissa Thompson asked Bradshaw, who promptly replied: “They’re not going to win three in a row, but …”

    Upon being reminded by Peter Schrager that no NFL team has ever managed to accomplish the feat, Bradshaw added: “That’s one of the reasons. The other reason is, I just think – you see how quick they get rid of the ball now, you see how quick, quick, quick, quick, quick?

    “I just think they’re going to load up against a team like Buffalo, they’re going to load up against a team like Baltimore – those are the two teams that could beat them, and I think it’s going to happen, even though it would be in Kansas City.”

    Bradshaw’s criticism of the Chiefs came as somewhat of a surprise, considering he dubbed them a heavy favorite to win Super Bowl LIX just one month prior. Discussing Kansas City’s narrow 30-27 win over the Carolina Panthers in Week 12, the 76-year-old said at the time: “How long do they continue doing this and winning [like] this, and will it finally let them down when it counts most? I doubt it.

    “I just don’t think that’s going to happen. This football team knows how to win.”

    Mahomes, for one, expressed utmost confidence that the Chiefs could win a third-straight Super Bowl not long after securing the second. On the heels of Kansas City’s 25-22 overtime win against the San Francisco 49ers in Super Bowl LVIII, he told teammates and coaches while still celebrating on the field: “Hey, we’re not done dawg. I want three, no one’s ever got three … I want back-to-back-to-back.”

    Speaking to reporters during a postgame press conference, Mahomes expressed a similar sentiment, adding: “It [would be] legendary. No one’s ever done it, and we knew it’s legendary to win back-to-back.

    “I think eight other teams have done it. We had heard it all week. We had talked to the guys [who had gone back-to-back] about it, and we felt like we had the best opportunity that we had ever had to go out there and do that.

    “We’ve got to continue to play our best football. We’ll celebrate these next few weeks, and then we’ll get right back at it.”

    On Sunday morning, Terry Bradshaw delivered a brutal blow to the hopes of Kansas City Chiefs fans everywhere during FOX NFL Sunday. As the crew discussed the Chiefs’ chances of winning a third consecutive Super Bowl, Bradshaw didn’t hold back in his assessment.

    “Let’s be real here, the Chiefs are not winning a third straight Super Bowl,” Bradshaw declared confidently. “They may have a talented roster, but the competition in the AFC is fierce, and repeating as champions is incredibly difficult.”

    Bradshaw went on to point out the challenges the Chiefs would face in the playoffs, including potential matchups against powerhouse teams like the Buffalo Bills and Baltimore Ravens. He emphasized that the road to a third Super Bowl victory would be anything but easy for Kansas City.

    Chiefs fans were left reeling from Bradshaw’s blunt assessment, but the Hall of Famer’s words served as a reality check for those dreaming of another championship parade in Kansas City. While the Chiefs remain a formidable team, Bradshaw made it clear that a three-peat was not in the cards for them this season.

    As the regular season winds down and the playoffs loom on the horizon, only time will tell if Bradshaw’s prediction proves to be accurate. But for now, Chiefs fans are coming to terms with the harsh reality that their team may not be destined for a historic three-peat.

  • Steve Smith burns Shubman Gill after sledge backfires brutally in fifth Test

    Steve Smith burns Shubman Gill after sledge backfires brutally in fifth Test


    Shubman Gill’s decision to sledge Steve Smith immediately backfired on the opening day of the fifth cricket Test, with the Indian batter suffering a brain explosion to throw away his wicket. India were 2-57 on the stroke of lunch at the SCG on Friday, with Gill and Virat Kohli rebuilding from 2-17.

    Pat Cummins brought on Nathan Lyon just before the break, and Gill wanted to make sure it was the last over before lunch. The Indian batter was taking his time before Lyon bowled the final ball, which prompted the Aussie players to say something.

    Gill then had a brain explosion and danced down the wicket, but only managed to edge the ball straight to Smith at slip. Smith pointed at Gill and appeared to give him a spray after taking the catch, and he explained why during the lunch break.

    Speaking to Fox Cricket he said: “Shubman was trying to take his time there and it probably played into out hands. He actually said something to me that I take my time or something. He decided to run at the last one and I think he was trying to launch him.”

    India went to lunch at 3-57 instead after a morning of drama and controversy. Rohit Sharma was left out of India’s XI, with stand-in captain Jasprit Bumrah saying the normal captain had made the decision to stand down due to a horrible run with the bat.

    Bumrah opted to bat first after winning the toss, and the tourists lost KL Rahul (4) and Yashavi Jaiswal (10) early. Mitchell Starc, Scott Boland and Lyon took the wickets, while Beau Webster took the catch to dismiss Jaiswal on Test debut.

    The Aussies and the majority of the cricket world thought they should have had Kohli first ball, after Smith attempted to take a low catch at slip but bobbled the ball to Marnus Labuschagne instead. After a lengthy review, third umpire Joel Wilson declared the ball touched a blade of grass and because Smith wasn’t in full control, it wasn’t out.

    Smith stated in his on-field interview that he “100 per cent” kept the ball off the ground and believed it should have been out. And the majority agreed, with Ricky Ponting saying on Channel 7: “You can see his fingers clearly underneath the ball. And then Joel said that it rolled out the side and touched the ground. But as far as I was concerned, if it had have come out of his hand he wouldn’t have been able to scoop it up. The ball would have rolled away to the side if the ball came out of his hand. I think he still had control of the ball, even though the ball had touched the grass.”

    But former India coach Ravi Shastri was less convinced, saying on Fox Cricket: “I think the right decision in the end because there was an element of doubt. When you see it that many times on the replay and you’re not convinced, it invariably goes in favour of the batsman. If there is a split of the fingers, the chances of the ball touching the grass is much more.”

    Thankfully for Australia it only cost them 17 runs. Kohli edged to Webster off the bowling of Scott Boland shortly after lunch, with the debutant taking a brilliant diving catch at slip.



    In a dramatic turn of events during the fifth Test match between Australia and India, Steve Smith delivered a brutal burn to Shubman Gill after a sledge backfired on him.

    It all started when Gill was batting and Smith, known for his chirping on the field, attempted to get under the young batsman’s skin with a sly comment. However, instead of being rattled, Gill remained composed and focused on his game.

    As fate would have it, Smith’s own batting performance soon crumbled under pressure, and he was dismissed cheaply by the Indian bowlers. Seizing the opportunity, Gill wasted no time in firing back at Smith with a scathing remark that left the Australian cricketer stunned.

    The moment quickly went viral on social media, with fans and cricket enthusiasts applauding Gill for his quick wit and composure in the face of Smith’s mind games.

    This incident serves as a reminder that in the high-pressure world of professional sports, mental toughness and resilience are just as important as physical skill. And in this case, it was Shubman Gill who emerged victorious, both on and off the field.

  • Comedian brutally savages Dems for ‘holding up a body’ in 2024 in chat with Andy Cohen – before awkward dig at CNN

    Comedian brutally savages Dems for ‘holding up a body’ in 2024 in chat with Andy Cohen – before awkward dig at CNN


    Comedian Whitney Cummings savaged the Democrats and CNN to host Anderson Cooper and co-host Andy Cohen‘s faces on their annual New Year’s Eve blowout. 

    Cummings, a standup comic with several specials, TV series, films and a book to her name, was appearing to offer some harsh jokes to ‘roast’ 2024. 

    She started out lashing the Democrats for continuing to stand by Joe Biden until well past his Georgia debate disaster. 

    ‘Democrats couldn’t hold a primary this year. They were too busy holding up a body,’ she said. 

    Cohen looked visibly surprised by the rip at Biden, who didn’t drop out of the race until late July.

    She went further on Democrats’ mandating Kamala Harris as their nominee, noting ‘it was amazing that the pro-choice party didn’t give their voters one.’

    ‘Kamala was forced on us so hard, you would think she was patented by Pfizer… or Moderna, whichever one’s… oh God, Andy just gave me a very scary look,’ to which Cohen protested.

    Cummings had barbs for CNN, which regularly allows Cohen and Cooper to celebrate the end of the year.

    ‘I’m now playing 3,000-person shows, which is about the viewership of CNN these days,’ she quipped.

    Cooper responded in stride: ‘Nice, nice.’

    He then noted that he and the Watch What Happens Live host had done a tour of similarly sized venues.

    As she took her place on the stage at CNN, she got in a joke about the weather and Cooper’s former co-host for the event. 

    ‘Was that thunder? Are you sure? I thought it was Kathy Griffin screaming at you from the street? Are you sure? I think she’s cursing.’

    ‘Well, no doubt,’ responded the long-time anchor.

    Griffin co-hosted alongside Cooper from 2007 to 2017, before she was fired after a controversial photoshoot with the comic posing and holding a fake severed head of Donald Trump.

    She also made a shocking joke about UnitedHealthcare CEO murderer Luigi Mangione, noting that he’s sharing a prison with disgraced mogul Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs,’ noting the alleged killer ‘already has lower back problems.’

    Cummings also slammed Arianna Grande for having become ‘white again,’ Disney for taking money from the Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia and people becoming ‘wistful’ about the Menendez brothers. 

    It all came as a storm threatened to washout the celebration in Manhattan’s Times Square.

    New Yorkers braved lightning, thunder and torrential rain alongside one million people packed into Times Square to watch the iconic ball drop.

    Spirits were high in the crowd during and leading up to the midnight fireworks extravaganza, while Cohen and Cooper were forced to duck for cover from the downpour.

    The crowds screamed as the countdown began at 11.59pm, joining in with deafening excitement in spite of the deluge.

    Soaking wet revelers danced with one another and kissed as 2024 drew to a close and 2025 began. One woman held up a sign which read ‘she said yes!’ as she embraced her new fiance.

    Meteorologist Chris Vagasky revealed on Tuesday night that there had been ‘134 lightning events detected within 50 miles of Times Square in 35 minutes.’

    The iconic current New Year’s Eve ball dropped for the final time tonight. It will now be retired to the museum in the newly restored One Times Square and replaced.

    In all, 3,000 pounds of confetti rained down on revelers as the clock struck midnight with messages of hope, love, good health and peace for the year ahead. 

    Additional security measures were put in place across the city to reassure tourists and locals that it was safe to attend festivities. 

    Specialized units have been manning rooftops and hotels while bomb-sniffing dogs roam around and helicopter and drone teams monitor from the skies. 

    Designated pick-pocketing teams are also patrolling the area around Times Square, doubly helping with crowd control.

    New York Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch said New Yorkers can rest easy knowing there are no specific threats or concerns relating to this evening’s event, although the department has been operating in a ‘heightened threat environment’ since the beginning of the Israel-Hamas conflict on October 7, 2023.

    As the crowd gathered at Times Square, watchers-on were warned they were not allowed to pack their umbrellas despite the rain.

    AccuWeather meteorologist Alex Duff warned crowds to expect to be drenched if they are out in the elements.

    ‘The rain will be heavy at times, and people standing in Times Square will get soaked during the evening.’ 

    It made for a miserable evening for some, with pictures capturing the moment onlookers abandoned the packed square and tried to hunker down out of the rain. 



    In a recent chat with Andy Cohen, a comedian didn’t hold back when discussing the Democrats’ actions in the lead-up to the 2024 election. The comedian brutally savaged the party for “holding up a body” in their pursuit of power, suggesting that they were willing to go to extreme lengths to win.

    However, the conversation took an unexpected turn when the comedian made an awkward dig at CNN, calling out the network for their biased reporting and lack of journalistic integrity. It seems that no one was safe from the comedian’s sharp wit, as they continued to call out hypocrisy and double standards across the political spectrum.

    The comedian’s bold and unapologetic commentary is sure to ruffle some feathers, but it’s clear that they are not afraid to speak their mind and challenge the status quo. With the 2024 election on the horizon, it will be interesting to see how the comedian’s insights and criticisms shape the political landscape in the coming years.

  • Hugh Jackman is brutally mocked by Ricky Gervais after sharing shirtless pool selfie

    Hugh Jackman is brutally mocked by Ricky Gervais after sharing shirtless pool selfie


    Hugh Jackman has found himself on the receiving end of some sledging from comedian Ricky Gervais.

    The Australian actor, 56, who is currently Down Under for the Christmas holidays, took to social media this week to share a selfie of himself enjoying a dip in the pool.

    In the photograph, Hugh flashed a huge grin as he propped himself up on the surface of the water and showed off his muscular, shirtless frame.

    Though many adoring fans gushed over the smiling selfie, comedian Ricky, 63, took the opportunity to mock the Hollywood star.

    Ricky, who frequently goes viral online for his comedic shirtless bath selfies, took to X – formerly known as Twitter – to hilariously recreate Hugh’s own photograph.

    He shared one of his iconic selfies showing himself half-submerged in the bath and pulling a comedic expression as he poked fun at Hugh’s own offering.

    Captioning the image, Ricky suggested it may be a separated-at-birth situation, writing: ‘Twinsies,’ in an amusing one-word sledge.

    Ricky’s cheeky reply was met with a flurry of comments from fans, with one follower hilariously suggesting that the tongue-in-cheek posts could become a movie script.

    ‘Hugh plays a fictionalized version of himself and you play his jealous brother who is also an actor,’ the follower began.

    ‘You refuse to work with him your entire career but then you get cast in a career defining play and the star backs out late in the production and the producer gets Hugh to fill in. 

    Wackiness ensues as you’re forced to work together. It all culminates with an impromptu real scene of you and Hugh arguing on stage in character but really talking about your strained relationship and saying things you’ve both kept inside for decades. This is a winner.’

    Another was equally excited about the prospect of the pairing, commenting: ‘Two legends, one pool. ls this the start of a new superhero duo, Ricky?’ 

    Another summed up the sentiment of many by writing: ‘Buahahaha my stomach hurts from laughing. This was too good! Thank you!’

    Hugh is currently in Sydney with his children, Oscar, 24, and Ava, 19, for Christmas and has been catching up with several Aussie friends during his trip.

    He has been spotted out-and-about spending time with his close friends including his personal trainer Michael Ryan, who he has known for 30 years, and Gina Chick.

    Hugh’s rumoured Broadway star girlfriend Sutton Foster has remained in the United States for Christmas.

    She was spotted attending a Pilates class in Los Angeles while Hugh catches up with his friends and family back in Australia.

    It is not known whether Deb is joining Hugh and her family Down Under for the Christmas holidays, or if she is remaining in the United States. 

    Hugh was reportedly planning to introduce his rumoured new partner Sutton to his and Deborra-Lee Furness’s children Oscar and Ava over the festive period.

    However, Deb was allegedly ‘not keen on the idea’ with a source claiming that she did not want a ‘blended’ family Christmas.

    ‘It’s a delicate balancing act and he feels like if anyone is going to spend less time with the kids this year, it’s him,’ they added.

    In September 2023, Hugh shocked fans when he filed for divorce from Deb after almost three decades of marriage.

    ‘We have been blessed to share almost three decades together as husband and wife in a wonderful, loving marriage,’ the couple said in a joint statement at the time.

    ‘Our journey now is shifting, and we have decided to separate to pursue our individual growth.’

    Months later, rumours began to swirl that Hugh and Broadway star Sutton, 49, had grown close, with insiders telling PageSix that they are now ‘in love’. 

    ‘They are 100 percent together and are in love and want to spend the rest of their lives together,’ an insider told the publication.

    ‘They are still together. They go out of their way to hide it, but it’s common knowledge.’

    Another insider claimed Hugh and Sutton are determined to make their relationship work and are keeping things low-key at the moment.

    Hugh and Sutton took on the roles of Harold Hill and Marian Paroo in The Music Man, which ran from February 2022 to January 2023 at the Winter Garden Theatre in Manhattan.



    Hugh Jackman was left feeling red-faced and humiliated after comedian Ricky Gervais brutally mocked him on social media for sharing a shirtless pool selfie.

    The Australian actor, known for his impressive physique, decided to show off his toned abs and ripped muscles while enjoying a relaxing day by the pool. However, his confidence was quickly shattered when Gervais, notorious for his sharp wit and cutting humor, wasted no time in poking fun at him.

    In a scathing tweet, Gervais wrote, “Just saw Hugh Jackman’s latest selfie. I didn’t know they allowed manatees in the pool. #ShirtlessFail.”

    The tweet quickly went viral, with fans and followers chiming in with their own humorous comments and memes at Jackman’s expense. Despite the embarrassment, Jackman took the joke in stride and even replied to Gervais with a witty comeback of his own.

    While the exchange may have been all in good fun, it serves as a reminder that even Hollywood A-listers are not immune to a little friendly teasing from time to time. And with friends like Ricky Gervais, Hugh Jackman better watch out next time he decides to share a shirtless selfie!
