Tristan Thompson Ends Stalemate,
Michael Strahan Says ‘He’s Taken’
Michael Strahan broke off his engagement with Nicole Murphy last year. He was photographed with a mystery blonde on vaca- tion in the Caribbean.
Michael Strahan is taken, ladies.
On Bravo’s “Watch What Happens Live!” the “Live! with Kelly and Michael” co-host said he’s seeing someone, but would not give up her name or any further details.
“I’m in a serious relation- ship,” is all he would tell host Andy Cohen.
“Is that right?” a surprised Cohen replied.
“You want me to give you the full name?” the 43-year-old former New York Giants player said coyly, before telling Cohen: “None of your busi- ness.”
Strahan, who ended his en- gagement to model Nicole Murphy in August 2014, sug- gested that he’d rather keep his relationships private from now on.
Shopping While Black: NBA Star Profiled At Jewelry Store
Signs Massive Contract With Cleveland
It was the holdout that was- n’t. Tristan Thompson won’t miss any games that count for the Cleveland Cava- liers this year, and he’ll re-sign with the team.
Thompson, whose repre- sentatives stated would play for nothing less than a maxi- mum contract, agreed to a five-year, $82 million deal on Wednesday that is a shade above the five-year, $80 mil- lion offer that the Cavs had been offering all along (and, according to one report, took away after Thompson re- fused to play for his $6.8 qual- ifying offer).

Had he taken that QO, Thompson could have rid- den out the season with the Cavaliers prior to making his debut as an unrestricted free agent next July. Had he held out the entire 2015-16 season, Thompson would give up a year’s worth of salary, and be- come a restricted free agent all over again in 2016.
The Milwaukee Bucks' John Henson recently at- tempted to visit Schwanke- Kasten Jewelers in Whitefish Bay, Wis., but unfortunately, his efforts were thwarted by employees who locked the door and called the police on him.
Before Henson could enter the jewelry store, em- ployees locked the doors and called police, he said. After the police arrived, Henson was questioned about why he was there, and authorities ran his license plates.
Henson made an Insta- gram post about his racial- profiling experience, and it caught the attention of Schwanke-Kasten President Tom Dixon, who offered Henson an apology.
"He was sincere in his apol- ogy," Henson said Tuesday after meeting with Dixon. "He knew that shouldn't have happened. He's had some prior incidents, but it still doesn't make it right for them to do what they did. It's a real issue.
Henson went on to state that he'd never been in an in- cident like that before and called it ‘surreal.’ "To be hit

with it head-on, it was a tough situation," he said. "A surreal moment. It's one of those things that happened and I felt that I needed to speak on it. I never want anybody else to go through that. It's not a good feeling."
Jason Kidd, the Bucks' coach, said he was proud of Henson for handling the sit- uation the way in which he did.
As of last Friday, the jew- elry store had been dealing with "suspicious" phone calls, as well as past robberies. Al- though store employees even- tually allowed Henson to come into the store, they asked police to stay as well; the police declined once they figured out who Henson was.
Lamar Odom and Khloé Kardashian
Lamar Odom and Khloé Kardashian not only are still married — they're staying married, according to court documents filed Wednesday.
The news comes despite a season of the couple's plan- ning their divorce before mil- lions of TV viewers on "Keeping Up With the Kar- dashians."
Odom — who is recovering in a Los Angeles hospital after he was found unconscious at a Nevada brothel this month — and Kardashian actually filed divorce paperwork in Los

Angeles Supe- rior Court over the summer, but the paper- work sat in the court pipeline since then and has never been signed by a judge.
Call Off Their Divorce
Laura Wasser, an attor- ney for Kardashian, asked a judge Tuesday to withdraw the divorce petition. The petition was granted Wednesday — meaning the divorce case is over.
NY Mets Beat The Cubs To Win National League Title

Is Ciara Pregnant? Singer Cursed Seattle Seahawks, Some Fans Say
Even though Seattle Sea- hawks quarterback Russell Wilson is dating “I Bet” singer Ciara, some of his fans aren’t happy about it. Even more, the R&B singer might be pregnant with his child, the blog Media Take Out wrote in an exclusive report Sunday.
The news sounds surprising since the couple took a vow of celibacy, but two sources re- ported the news.
Ciara, 29, and Wilson, 26, haven’t responded to the preg- nancy rumors. They also haven’t paid any attention to
the “Ciara curse” rumors. Since the Seahawks are in third place in the NFC RUSSELL West, with four losses and two wins, some of Wil- son’s fans are blaming his girl- friend for “cursing” their team. Ciara and Wilson started dating in the spring and went to the White House Correspon- dents Dinner as their first pub-
lic event.
