We’ve now learned that Ari Emmanuel, the co-CEO of William Morris Endeavor (a talent agency that owns UFC) called Justin Bieber’s Manager and conferenced in Dana White, the founder and head of the UFC. Ari said this would be an epic fight that needed to happen, and Dana chimed in that he was 100% down with it. So Justin’s manager said that Justin would absolutely fight if Tom wanted to. Ari made it seem like he could make a phone call to Tom to make it happen. Dana agreed that the fight is a no brainer, and it would be the easiest event he’s ever promoted in his career.
During a recent interview, actor Russell Crowe disclosed that he purchased a dinosaur head from Leonardo DiCaprio for his kids. He also admitted that while making this transaction he had a lot of vodka in his system. “I think he started the conversation like ‘I’ve got this one, but there’s another one coming on the market that I really want, so I’m trying to sell that one,’ and I said I’ll buy it.” Russel Crowe paid $30-35 grand. But last year the dinosaur head went up for auction and sold for $65,000!!!
Miranda Lambert revealed that her next solo album will come out this fall. “I would call it old Miranda, but I Miranda at a whole new level, if that makes any sense.” She also says that it’s not going to be overloaded with love songs or anything like that.

Jessie James Decker has marriage advice to keep it spicy. She said the best advice she actually got was from her mother. “She would always say you don’t ever want to win an argument, because if you win, he loses, and you don’t ever want your partner to lose. You want to win together.” Maybe that’s the key to Jessie and Eric’s marriage. They don’t ever fight! “We wanna have solutions. SO we’re always a solution couple, and you know, we just make whatever..we make things work! We keep things spicy, we keep things fun.” She then went on to say that she loves him not only because he’s a beautiful man, but because he’s such a good person, great father, and husband.
