Jimmy Butler is using his offseason to enjoy some well-earned downtime. The Golden State Warriors star was recently spotted celebrating with Colombian stars Sofía Vergara and
J Balvin
at the singer's extravagant 40th birthday party in the scenic hills of Tuscany, Italy.
Held at the stunning Castello di Velona, a restored 11th-century fortress turned luxury resort, the party was nothing short of a star-studded affair.

In one clip that surfaced online, he even sang a birthday tune for J Balvin, flipping the script for the singer on his special day.
The chemistry between the two was no surprise to longtime fans. Butler and Balvin previously worked together on A Great Day With J Balvin, a collaboration that clearly sparked a real friendship.

Her light-hearted vibe brought a spark to the event, and even J Balvin couldn't help but share a laugh in the moment.
Sofía also shared photos from the night, including one with Jimmy Butler and J Balvin, capturing the festive spirit. She later took to Instagram to wish Balvin a heartfelt post, writing in Spanish, which loosely translates to 'Happy birthday to the bestest.' Her posts gave fans a peek into what looked like a joyful celebration, one she followed up with a relaxing time in Tuscany with her son, Manolo, after also attending a birthday in the French Riviera.
While Butler's NBA season had its highs and lows, including criticism for not stepping up during Stephen Curry's absence, the forward isn't letting the noise get to him. He's focused on recharging, and this European trip seems to be the perfect escape.

What happened to Lamar Odom? Here's why Khloé Kardashian's ex and former Lakers faced mansion eviction
Lamar Odom. Image via: Matt Petit/ Getty Images Lamar Odom , the former NBA champion and reality TV personality, is facing legal and financial trouble once again. A Los Angeles court recently ordered Odom to vacate a luxury Studio City mansion after he failed to pay $45,000 in rent over three months. Despite his continued public efforts at rebuilding his life post-addiction, the ruling adds to yet another low point for the 45-year-old ex-husband of Khloé Kardashian. Lamar Odom kicked out of mansion after skipping rent payments Lamar Odom's eviction stems from a rental dispute with Executive Recovery Group, Inc., the sublessor of a lavish property once leased by the late rapper Mac Miller. According to a New York Post exclusive, court documents reveal that Odom entered into a verbal, month-to-month rental agreement in December 2024, promising to pay $15,000 per month in rent. Between January and March 2025, however, the rent went unpaid, racking up a $45,000 debt. On March 11, the landlord issued a three-day notice to pay or vacate the premises, which was both posted on the property and mailed to Odom. The legal warning stated, 'If you fail to perform or otherwise comply, Landlord declares the forfeiture of the lease or rental agreement under which you occupy said premises' (via NY Post). Odom reportedly did not respond to the lawsuit, and by April 28, the court sided with Executive Recovery Group. The judgment gave the company possession of the home and forced Odom to leave, while also opening the door for further legal action over attorney fees and damages. The legal filing also included an election of forfeiture, with the sublessor officially terminating Odom's lease on March 17. The landlord claimed the market value of the home is roughly $500 per day. Odom's representatives have yet to comment publicly on the ruling. Lamar Odom's history of struggle and attempted redemption This isn't the first time Odom's life has made headlines for all the wrong reasons. Since his near-fatal overdose at Nevada's Love Ranch in 2015, which led to 12 strokes and six heart attacks, he's been on a long and highly public recovery journey. At the time, Khloé Kardashian halted their divorce to remain by his side. Their marriage officially ended in 2016. In recent years, Odom launched his own rehabilitation program, Odom Wellness Treatment Centers, hoping to help others with addiction. He's also tried reentering the public eye, appearing awkwardly alongside Khloé in Season 6 of The Kardashians and even venturing into cryptocurrency. However, that too met with turbulence. Just days ago, he introduced his new venture, $ODOM coin, at Donald Trump's crypto event, only to be booed during the presentation. Also Read: Vanessa Bryant finally breaks silence on wild pregnancy rumors with a wild response featuring a Rihanna meme While several outlets, including Celebrity Net Worth, reported that Odom has an estimated net worth of $30 million as of February 2025, his recent financial status does not support the reports. As of yet, his actual net worth is not known.

A tale of Homi Bhabha, MF Husain and a trove of art at a science institute
MUMBAI: In the foyer of 'A' Block at the campus of the Tata Institute of Fundamental Research (TIFR) is an M F Husain that took top honours at an unusual competition. The area is not accessible to visitors in the government-funded, high-security campus, but the mural's expanse and sharp lines are visible even from a distance, through the tall glass facade. The mural came to adorn this 9ft x 45ft wall in 1962 because Homi Bhabha, who founded the institute in 1945, invited the finest Indian artists to compete for a chance to grace a wall at TIFR's then-new Navy Nagar premises with their work. Unbeknownst to them, Bhabha had reached out to Pablo Picasso too, hoping the legendary Spanish artist would oblige. 'As a result of our conflict with the Chinese, it is quite impossible for us to pay anything in foreign exchange, leave aside the type of price that would be appropriate for Picasso,' he wrote to his friend, Irish scientist JD Bernal. 'However, I did suggest we could pay him a first-class return air fare to India and a month's stay at our expense, together with arrangements for visiting and seeing some of the country's famous archaeological monuments,' went the letter. The attempt to entice Picasso did not work out, but Husain's massive mural, Bharat Bhagya Vidhata, lent the campus a special touch, blending the pride of a modern Indian identity with his artistic genius. This was one of the tales narrated by Mortimer Chatterjee, co-founder and director of the gallery Chatterjee and Lal, at a talk that inaugurated TIFR's first Art & Archives Colloquium, organised in collaboration with Art Mumbai. Chatterjee, who has been associated with TIFR's acclaimed art collection for 15 years, spoke of how the collection was acquired between the '50s and '70s, and what it says about Indian art of that time. While Husain's mural was the first painting created for the new campus, Bhabha had been building the institute's art collection for the better part of the previous decade. Bhabha, one of India's premier nuclear physicists, had not traded art for science; he paid keen attention to the campus's architecture and gardens too. He was, after all, an artist himself. 'While Bhabha was the steering force of the collection, he had a whole band of art insiders around him keeping a close eye on the exhibitions and new work being produced. Chief among them was Phiroza Wadia, called 'Pipsy', whom Bhabha painted a few times. Also among them was mathematics professor KS Chandrasekharan, art critic Rudolf von Leyden and Kekoo Gandhy of the Chemold Prescott gallery,' Chatterjee recounted. 'Gandhy would invite Bhabha over the day before his exhibitions opened, for him to have the first pick, while his staff held up frames for Bhabha to visualise. He would get lost in a trance, forgetting that there was someone holding them up,' said Chatterjee, to a rapt audience, on Monday evening. 'Often the paintings would stay hung at TIFR for a while, before purchase, for Bhabha to evaluate them in the setting, just as he did with paintings for his home,' he added. During the eight years it took to build the Navy Nagar campus, the 102 acquired paintings were displayed on the walls of the old Bombay Yacht Club. Then owned by Bhabha's aunt, it served as TIFR's home before the move to Navy Nagar. Few of the paintings had anything to do with science, really. The collection was entirely contemporary. For this, Chatterjee compared Bhabha to 'the spirit of Medici', the Italian patron that fostered Renaissance art, including that of Leonardo da Vinci. The then-budding group of artists known as the Progressive Artists' Group, led by Husain, SH Raza and FN Souza, among others, inevitably took the spotlight in TIFR's art collection, but a wide range of Indian artists is actually represented across it. Bhabha's love of art needed funds to support it. He secured permission, Chatterjee said, to spend 1% of TIFR's budget on art. Bringing things full-circle, Husain helped broker deals between artists and TIFR too. After Bhabha's death in 1966, aged just 56, his successor at TIFR, MGK Menon, continued his mission, building the institute's art collection up to its current strength of 250-plus masterpieces.
