Ben Stiller, Timothée Chalamet, And Spike Lee Were Mercilessly Mocked At A Knicks Game, And Now Ben's Called Out The 'Weird' Behavior
Hollywood stars have been showing out for the New York Knicks games over the past few weeks, but it's safe to say that no one on celebrity row has been doing it quite like Ben Stiller, Timothée Chalamet, and Spike Lee. At least one of the trio of native New Yorkers has been present at nearly every game of the Knicks' run to the Eastern Conference finals, bringing with them next-level enthusiasm, great fits, and occasionally some super famous friends (Kendall and Kylie Jenner, I'm talking about you). And while most fans appear to be loving the dedication, it seems Ben, Timothée, and Spike weren't made to feel so welcome when they visited Indianapolis earlier this week to watch the Knicks take on the Indiana Pacers in front of their home crowd. Related: Sophie Turner Opened Up About Her "Incredibly Sad" Split From Joe Jonas At the beginning of the game, sports pundit and Pacers fan Pat McAfee took a moment to do some trash-talking, taking aim at the 'bigwigs from the big city' sitting courtside. Hyping up the home crowd, he yelled into the mic: 'Spike Lee is here. Ben Stiller is here. Timothée Chalamet is here. Let's send these sons of bitches back to New York with their ears bleeding!' As you'd probably imagine, each name was met with increasingly intense boos from the Indiana crowd. While we all love a bit of playful trash-talk in sports, this felt a little mean-spirited — and it seems Ben agrees. Related: 28 Celebs Who Never Seem To Get Canceled Despite Some Pretty Awful Behavior Responding to a video of the moment on X, Ben replied: 'Yes. Weird. We were happy to be there and cheer our team and other than that Indy fans were awesome,' adding in another response: 'No bitterness at all Indy fans were amazing good win for you guys.' Replying to another fan who said that Pat's moment 'pissed [them] off so much,' Ben further explained his confusion, also emphasizing that he still had a great time. 'He must be playing around - if it's an actual point of view it seems a little anachronistic or cliche?' he wrote of Pat. 'Like we are 'big city celebs' and we shouldn't be there in the heartland? 😂Again, everyone we met was awesome and incredibly cool.' Before long, Pat caught on to criticism from people calling him 'classless' and spoke out to set the record straight. 'These guys are all front row, they're a part of the show,' he said on his show on May 28, admitting that 'sons of bitches' was perhaps not the best term he could've picked. 'I would like to let them all know, mad respect for coming out. Mad respect for the amount of support they're showing the Knicks. All love.' And for what it's worth, Ben cleared the air from his side, too, suggesting that Pat ought to come to Game 5 at Madison Square Garden later today. All's well that ends well, but let's just see who takes the W tonight… More on this This Is What Happened To Kendall Jenner Moments Before The Knicks Game With Kylie Jenner And Timothée ChalametMychal Thompson · May 15, 2025 Fans Are Apparently Getting Ben Stiller And Adam Sandler Confused, And I'm ConfusedMychal Thompson · Nov. 30, 2024 Timothée Chalamet Was Asked About Kylie Jenner, And I'm Impressed With How He Handled ItChelsea Stewart · Jan. 4, 2025 Also in Celebrity: "I Can't Emphasize Enough How Filthy Some Of These People Are": 39 Hollywood Secrets People Have Learned From Working With Celebs Also in Celebrity: If You Think You're Smarter Than The Average Celebrity, Prove It By Correctly Answering These Questions They Got Wrong On "Jeopardy" Also in Celebrity: 12 Celebs Who Came Out At A Young Age, And 13 Who Came Out Way Later In Life

Detroit Grand Prix guide: Free events, parking and more
The Detroit Grand Prix will dominate downtown this weekend, starting with Friday's Free Prix Day and ending with Sunday's final race. Why it matters: The annual event transforms Jefferson Avenue and other downtown streets into a 1.7-mile racetrack for world-class drivers such as last week's Indy 500 winner, Alex Palou, who also won in Detroit two years ago. The race is expected to generate an economic impact of more than $100 million, Crain's reports. 🏁 Here's our grand prix primer: Free events: Friday's Free Prix Day allows free admission to grandstands 1 and 9. Free, wheelchair-accessible viewing platforms will be located along Jefferson all weekend. Hart Plaza, Spirit Plaza and Woodward Avenue will also host free fan activation areas all three days. Downtown race footprint: Road closures will affect parts of Jefferson (between the Lodge Freeway and Rivard Street) and Woodward Avenue (between the Campus Martius area and Jefferson). Transportation/parking: Parking garages inside the footprint will be closed except for the Franklin Garage, which requires pre-purchased tickets starting at $75. You can park along the People Mover's route and take it to the Renaissance Center inside the Grand Prix footprint. Another option is parking north of Campus Martius and taking the QLine to the race area. Both services are free. Learn the lingo: Motor sports tend to have a niche following. Luckily our Axios Indianapolis colleagues compiled a handy glossary of racing terms and other basic info for casual fans. Penske's cheating scandal: Off the track, local businessman and racing icon Roger Penske has been dealing with the fallout of a cheating scandal that resulted in the firing of three Team Penske executives just days before the Indy 500. The team's drivers did not fare well at Indy. One wrecked his car before it even started and another exited after 135 laps with a mechanical issue.

Scott McLaughlin, stinging from 500 wreck, gets apology from Kyle Larson for gesture
DETROIT — There's one part of Scott McLaughlin's Indy 500 that he'll probably never get over. But there's another part that he's already moved past. Kyle Larson gave McLaughlin a thumbs up when driving by his wrecked car on the Indy 500 pace laps. But Scott said he's harboring no ill will toward Larson after the fact. Larson was on a time crunch trying to compete in and complete both the Indy 500 and Coke 600 races on Sunday. He apparently delivered the gesture as part sarcasm and part frustration over seeing his chances to complete both slip away, thanks to drizzle delaying the Indy 500 start. The video went viral. McLaughlin said Larson texted him. And McLaughlin also took a little dig at Larson in the debate about whether Larson is better than Formula 1 standout Max Verstappen. "He texted me. We're all good," McLaughlin said Thursday, prior to a luncheon to kick off the Detroit Grand Prix weekend. "I've got a tremendous amount of respect for Kyle. "I just love poking s--- at everyone, too. So my tweet was a bit of making fun of that whole conversation because that's been such a big piece. But also, I wasn't going to let him off the hook with that [gesture] either. That's the type of person I am." McLaughlin said he never felt that Larson's gesture was vindictive. Larson, the NASCAR Cup Series points leader and 2021 champion, had about a 40-minute buffer from when the race typically would end and when he felt he needed to leave for Charlotte. The rain delay lasted about 45 minutes, and McLaughlin's wreck delayed the start even longer. "He texted me and apologized and didn't mean it. And I know he didn't," McLaughlin said. "He's really a respectful racer. And kudos to him for even reaching out. He didn't need to. "He doesn't care about my INDYCAR [race]. I understand it. They know it's logistically tough. ... Forty minutes is cutting it pretty close to even do it. So maybe the two series need to come together and talk about different times or whatever? At the same time, Indy is Indy and the 600 is the 600, and if you want to run the risk of doing that, that's up to you." As far as his own mentality, McLaughlin said the 2025 Indy 500 won't be one he will forget. He never took the green flag, and that came a week after he crashed in practice preparing for the qualifying sessions where he possibly could have won the pole. "I'm not over it," McLaughlin said. "I don't think I'll ever be over it. It's been a character-building couple of weeks. Definitely the hardest thing that I've gone through ever in my career in terms of the 500 race and what happened there. "I'm obviously replaying events over in my head, but the best thing for me right now is just get back on track." McLaughlin has already been back on track — just not in his regular ride. He tested a Legends car on Wednesday on the quarter-mile oval on the front-stretch of Charlotte Motor Speedway with NASCAR's Bubba Wallace and his former Supercars rival Shane Van Gisbergen. "It definitely took my mind off it," McLaughlin said. "And we're hanging out with Bubba, who is a great friend of mine. "Honestly, I had a lot of people reach out from all disciplines, from NASCAR, some F1 guys, some INDYCAR guys. I got a lot of support, which is really nice and humbling." As far as the accident itself, McLaughlin could only be left wondering what he did to deserve spinning out on the pace lap as he warmed up his tires. He hit an inside wall and was out of the 500 before it even began. Whether there was moisture on the track or not, McLaughlin said he was still unsure. "You'll never know if there was or not," McLaughlin said. "I definitely picked up throttle — not aggressively — but it was coming to 1 [lap] to go, so I was getting warmed up. ... It was just unfortunate." After the crash, McLaughlin saw his family and even signed some autographs as he went to a suite to watch the race. "The first bit, I was pretty emotional, but when you go back and you see your kid and see your wife, you realize that's all you need," McLaughlin said. "It was definitely a hard race to watch." McLaughlin even got a little philosophical when speaking on Thursday. "I'm a big believer in everything happens for a reason," McLaughlin said. "Something happened there, and I'll figure it out, and everything will be good. "I wasn't meant to start that race, unfortunately." Bob Pockrass covers NASCAR and INDYCAR for FOX Sports.
