LADY GAGA’S DOG WALKER HAD PART OF HIS LUNG REMOVED – (03/30/2021)
Lady Gaga’s dog walker, Ryan Fisher, has not had an easy path to recovery.
After being shot in the February 24th kidnapping of Gaga’s French bulldogs, Fisher thought he was healing quickly. He wrote on Instagram Monday (March 29th), “I was recovering remarkably fast. In days I had gone from bleeding out on a sidewalk, to overly-active ICU patient (which they were VERY not used to), to just waiting for my lung to heal so I could go home: everything appeared quite straight forward.”
However, he found himself back in the hospital only a week later. A “strange hissing and glugging” coming from his chest turned out to be a collapsed lung. Ultimately, the damage from the bullet wound was too great for the organ to heal and portions of his lung had to be removed.
Fisher reflected, “The journey is hard, it’s assuredly painful… And somewhere within that I find the absurdity and wonder and beauty this life offers us all.”
SHARON OSBOURNE EXITS ‘THE TALK’ WITH MASSIVE PAYOUT – (03/30/2021)
Sharon Osbourne is exiting CBS’ The Talk with a massive payout amid accusations of racist behavior. A source tells Page Six: “Sharon is walking away with a $5 to $10 million minimum payout and was able to spin that it was her decision [to leave the show].”
Another source said: “Sharon will talk when she is ready. She still wants to give her side of the story. She has been on that show for 11 years and knows all the secrets.”
CBS announced she was leaving Friday, two weeks after she got into an argument with co-host Sheryl Underwood, over her defense of Piers Morgan, who has been criticized by many for his treatment of Meghan Markle.
Following the controversy, CBS conducted an internal investigation, and she was accused by host Elaine Welteroth and her hairstylist of perpetuating an allegedly “racially insensitive and hostile environment.”
Former co-host Leah Remini claimed Osbourne used racist and homophobic slurs when talking about others on the show.
Osbourne responded that the allegations were “crap, all crap.”

NIKE SUES COMPANY OVER LIL NAS X’S ‘SATAN SHOES’ – (03/30/2021)
Nike has filed a lawsuit against art collective company MSCHF, who collaborated with Lil Nas X on his “Satan Shoes,” which appear in Nas X’s new video “Montero (Call Me By Your Name).” According to a report from TMZ, Nike has accused the company of trademark infringement because the Nike Swoosh logo still appears on the reworked sneaker. The sneaker giant is suing for damages and wants a judge to stop all future sales of the shoe. It’s worth noting that Lil Nas X isn’t listed in the lawsuit.
Lil Nas X responded to the lawsuit by sharing a clip from an episode of Nickelodeon’s Spongebob Squarepants on Twitter where the character Squidward is begging for spare change. He captioned the upload, “Me after the nike lawsuit.”
The sneaker featured in the video, which has also been listed for sale, is a black and red Nike Air Max 97 shoe that contains one drop of human blood in its sole, a pentagram pendant and “Luke 10:18” embroidered on the side of the shoe. The referenced Bible verse is about Satan’s fall from heaven.
The shoe is going for $1,018 and 666 pairs were made. All of the shoes reportedly sold in under one minute.
