LeBron James posts image of himself with Clippers logo in background
All of a sudden, not as many people are talking about LeBron James possibly asking the Los Angeles Lakers to trade him. That talk has largely subsided as the realities of how difficult it would be to pull off a trade that would land him on an instant title contender have seemingly sunk in. But many feel James has been dropping passive-aggressive hints that he may want to move on. Earlier this offseason, he had a couple of social media posts of himself in his native Ohio, including one at the Cleveland Cavaliers' facility. The latest such post shows him working out in a room that has the Los Angeles Clippers' logo positioned behind him. The accompanying caption on that Instagram post read as follows: "Say whatever you want but you damn sure won't be able to say I didn't put in the WORK!! . We'll see what happens when I no longer exist. Man [expletive] this [expletive]." This could be a big nothing as far as which team James will play for in the coming months, and it's always possible he's simply looking to mess with people who love to speculate about him. Of course, since it is him, and since he is infamously passive-aggressive, people will wonder what this post is really all about.

Paris Jackson vs Justin Long: Who has the higher net worth in 2025?
By Aman Shukla Published on August 1, 2025, 08:20 IST Paris Jackson and Justin Long have been making headlines—not just for their individual careers, but also for their recent split. The couple, who got engaged in late 2024, officially called off their engagement in July 2025, ending months of speculation and public appearances that hinted at trouble. Alongside the news of their breakup, fans are now curious: who has the higher net worth in 2025? This article dives into their estimated net worths in 2025. Paris Jackson's Net Worth in 2025 Paris Jackson's net worth in 2025 is estimated to range between $100 million and $150 million, according to various sources. Her wealth primarily stems from her inheritance from Michael Jackson's estate, which was valued at over $1 billion at the time of his death in 2009 and has grown to an estimated $2 billion by 2025. Paris, along with her siblings Prince and Blanket Jackson, receives periodic trust payouts, though the exact amounts remain confidential due to ongoing legal disputes, including an IRS valuation issue. Beyond her inheritance, Paris has carved out a diverse career as a singer, songwriter, model, and actress. Her music career includes her debut album Wilted (2020) and performances as an opening act for bands like Incubus and Manchester Orchestra in 2025, earning her an estimated $300,000–$500,000 from tour slots and merchandise. Her modeling work with brands like Calvin Klein and her 5.4 million Instagram followers generate $250,000–$300,000 annually through sponsored posts. Acting roles in projects like American Horror Stories , Swarm , and Sex Appeal further bolster her income. Real estate investments, such as her $3.8 million Hollywood Hills cabin-style estate purchased in 2022, also contribute to her wealth. Justin Long's Net Worth in 2025 Justin Long, Paris Jackson's former fiancé and a music producer, has an estimated net worth of $1 million to $5 million in 2025. While specific figures are less documented compared to Paris, his wealth is primarily derived from his work as a music producer and bandmate. Long has collaborated with various artists, contributing to albums and live performances, though his financial standing is significantly lower than Paris's due to the absence of a comparable inheritance or high-profile endorsements. His earnings come from music production, touring, and occasional media projects, but detailed breakdowns are scarce. Paris Jackson vs. Justin Long: Net Worth Comparison When comparing their net worths, Paris Jackson clearly holds a substantial lead. Her estimated $100–150 million fortune dwarfs Justin Long's $1–5 million, largely due to her massive inheritance from Michael Jackson's estate, supplemented by her successful career in music, modeling, and acting. Justin's income, while respectable for a music producer, lacks the scale of Paris's diverse revenue streams and inherited wealth.

Temuera Morrison wants native Hawaiians to be proud of 'Chief of War'

Photo courtesy of Apple TV+ NEW YORK, July 31 (UPI) -- Aquaman and The Book of Boba Fett actor Temuera Morrison says he hopes native Hawaiians are proud that Chief of War focuses on their history and features a primarily Polynesian cast. "This is very fresh. I haven't seen anything quite like this before in my whole life," Morrison, 64, told UPI in a recent Zoom interview. "At the end of the day, I want Hawaiian people to be proud and reclaim themselves, reclaim their identity and feel proud about their Hawaiian heritage," the New Zealander added. "We're blessed because we're all the same people." Morrison said that on the first day of filming, the woman who operated the boom microphone told him he was playing her ancestor. #ChiefOfWar premieres tomorrow. ʻĀpōpō ka hōʻike mua o Chief of War. Apple TV (@AppleTV) July 31, 2025 "That's all she said and she waled away and I said, 'Oh, my God!' It suddenly hit me that we have a responsibility here. We are representing all these people and I am playing her ancestor. Fortunately for me, she never hit me on the head with her microphone, so I must have been on the right track." Premiering Friday on Apple TV+, the nine-episode series takes place in 18th century Hawaii when the islands' leaders disagreed about whether they should peacefully unify or conquer each other. Jason Momoa co-wrote and produced the action drama, in which he also plays Ka'iana, the titular hero. Morrison plays his frenemy Chief Kahekili and Cliff Curtis plays Keoua, another rival king. "Jason needed some support posts around him. He knew Cliff and I had the experience in this medium," Morrison said. "We were humbled to get the opportunity. Personally, it was quite an adventure, spiritually, culturally. We all had to learn the Hawaiian language. That was quite challenging." Morrison admitted he initially had some reservations about taking on the pivotal role in such an epic. "I'm very, very grateful that I decided to do this project because I was trying to run away in the beginning. I didn't think I could do it," he recalled. "Then, there were things like the cold. We were running around with hardly any clothes on. My feet aren't as hard as our Polynesian ancestors' used to be. Every now and then, I'd be like: 'Ah! Ah! Can I wear my shoes, please, please!' The volcanic rocks were killing me, but what a journey it's been." It was Hawaiian-born Momoa who convinced Morrison to join the epic project. "Jason said: 'Bro, bro, we're the same people, man! We're the same people. Get on board!' So, with those words of encouragement, I said, 'Yeah, bro, you are right. I think it's about sharing our Polynesian culture and heritage and supporting one another," Morrison said. Fear the Walking Dead and The Meg alum Curtis, 57, described his and Morrison's characters as the antagonists of the story. "The hero's journey is shown through the character Ka'iana, played by Jason Momoa. He's the chief who left the Hawaiian islands, went into the world and came back with technology to help unite the islands," Curtis said. "The chief of war has to choose which king he is going to fight for. It's a classic, archetypal story structure. Even though there is a new language and new costumes, visages and things that look different, the classical structure is something that all of humanity can relate to and recognize themselves in it." The geopolitics of the bygone era mirrors what some people are still experiencing in 2025, Curtis noted. "As we look back to our past, we see our ancestors struggle with the very same things as our current situation in the world," he added. "To live in peace or live in war." The ensemble also includes Luciane Buchanan,Te Ao o Hinepehinga, Kaina Makua, Moses Goods, Siua Ikale'o, Brandon Finn, James Udom, Mainei Kinimaka, Te Kohe Tuhaka and Benjamin Hoetjes.
