Shane McMahon’s Wife, Marissa, Has Been in His Life Since Childhood

As the son of WWE CEO Vince McMahon, Shane McMahon has been part of the professional wrestling world since birth. He started filling merchandise orders in the warehouse at age 15, before working as a referee, an announcer, and eventually on-screen wrestler. These days, Shane is a minority owner and producer in WWE, as well as the executive vice-chairman of Ideanomics. The fourth-generation wrestling promoter also happens to be a married father of three sons. 

But who is Shane’s wife?

Join us as we take a closer look at the woman to whom Shane McMahon has been married for more than 20 years now. Because although she’s never been in the ring herself, his wife did spend a number of years working for the WWE.

Alex Jones and Llamas Have Gone Viral, and People Don’t Know What to Think

Alex Jones, the super right-wing show host infamous for his conspiracy theories about the Sandy Hook Elementary School shootings, Oklahoma City bombing, and 9/11, has recently reached a new level of viral fame. This time, even though it cannot be stressed enough how damaging his extremist ideology is, we can’t help but chuckle. Jones brought a flock of llamas to his website/show, InfoWars.

What’s up with Alex Jones and his llamas?

“Now that I have llamas, now that I have the secret weapon…here you go my sweetsie,” Jones says, after telling his viewers that he knows the truth about everything, from fluoride to Jeffrey Epstein, and that his llamas were the missing key component to…maybe persuading everyone that his conspiracy theories should be taken seriously? We’re honestly not sure. The clip that’s going viral shows Jones attempting to give a big llama named Polko a cookie; Polka initially wants nothing to do with Jones and the cookie and Jones has to coax him by telling him there’s “no fluoride” in the treat.

“Alex Jones brought in llamas. I can no longer resist the conspiracy theories,” one Twitter user wrote. 

Another joked, “They always show you angry megaphone Alex Jones. They never show you llama caregiver Alex Jones.”

Maybe the llamas really do hold all the power. “I always knew that Llamas had psychic powers. It’s their telekinesis that you have to look out for!!” One person wrote on Twitter.

Most likely, the llamas were part of a publicity stunt to get people to start talking about Jones and InfoWars again. Which, apparently, is working. If you have to make your show seem more relevant by sprinkling your content with a few llamas, well, that sure is a statement. “i’m aware that personally messaging everyone I know the link to Alex Jone’s llamas is playing right into his plan to use llamas to get everyone’s attention but it’s too hilarious not to send to people so i guess well played alex jones well played,” one person thoughtfully tweeted.

Since Alex Jones and InfoWars are banned on Twitter and YouTube, it’s hard to know exactly what Alex Jones is thinking. In March, Google finally followed suit and banned the InfoWars app after Jones started spreading conspiracy theories about COVID-19. Through the app, Jones was reportedly earning $15 million in sales from alternative medicine supplements back in 2014. Most recently, Jones was trying to hawk supplements with “nanosilver” which he claimed “protects” people from COVID-19 (there is no such proof that it does).

The video that finally led Google to banning InfoWars for good contained nonsensical conspiracy theory talk about New World Order (another Jones major talking point) and aliens. “Everybody dies under the New World Order except maybe one tenth of one percent that believe they’re going to merge with machines and have made deals with this interdimensional thing that gave them all the technology. You can’t make a deal with these aliens that the Bible tells you about and ever get off the planet,” he said.

Will the llamas help Jones rebrand himself? Will the political extremist realize his true calling (becoming a llama caretaker) and abandon his mission at InfoWars? It’s too soon to tell, but anything is possible.

Amanda Nunes And Jon Jones Are The Top-Ranked Fighters In ‘UFC 4’

UFC 4

While fans have the opportunity to create their own legends in the completely revamped Career Mode, UFC 4 has released its top-50 UFC fighters ahead of the game’s release on Friday. The two-division GOAT, Amanda Nunes, is the top pound-for-pound fighter in the game, slightly edging Jon Jones at No. 2, Khabib Nurmagomedov at No. 3 and Valentina Schevchenko at No. 4 as the only five-star fighters in the game.

The No. 1 ranked bantamweight and featherweight champion’s placement is well-deserved, with wins over Ronda Rousey, Miesha Tate, Schevchenko, Cris Cyborg and Holly Holm over the last four years. Despite close decision victories over the likes of Dominick Reyes and Thiago Santos in recent years, Jones’ record remains unblemished aside from a disqualification loss to Matt Hamill in 2009.

Jones was able to fend off Nurmagomedov’s equally impressive stretch, where he’s earned wins over Conor McGregor and Dustin Poirier. Schevchenko rounds out the five-star fighters with five-consecutive wins since her loss to Nunes in 2017.

Is Sabrina Carpenter Really Dancing in ‘Work It’? — Details on the Star

The actress, who happens to be a very talented singer, spoke with Rolling Stone about her experience working on Work It, which she said is also the first movie she’s ever produced.

“I read [the script] and I just instantly fell in love with the idea of playing someone that had no rhythm, can’t dance, and finds herself through dance, and through music,” she shared. “She definitely has a really beautiful character arc throughout the film, and that was something that I was looking for.”

Sabrina admits she actually grew up dancing, but hasn’t taken it up since childhood. Work It served as “a very, very big reminder that I haven’t stretched in seven years,” she confessed.

“I was like, I can dance, like, it’s something that you don’t lose,” she continued, saying that she had previously danced for years. But with this film, “I even got tendonitis,” she admitted to the outlet. “That’s how you know, like, I really tried.”

Though she admitted the choreography was challenging, she found it just as hard to pretend to dance badly in the first half of the film. The movie reminded Sabrina how much she does love to dance, and we hope we can see her flex her talents in upcoming projects.

Work It is now streaming on Netflix.

Family ‘Dines and Dashes’ After Being Told Their Dog Couldn’t Sit on Table

A TikTok user captured a family in Santa Monica, California, getting upset and storming out of a restaurant after allegedly being told their dog was not allowed to be on top of the table. They seemingly did not pay for the food they ordered before leaving.

The video by user @ncobeerbelly garnered over 69,000 views in less than a day.

According to the California legislature, pets are allowed in outdoor dining areas if they are on a leash and under control, but “pet dogs are not allowed on chairs, benches, seats, or other fixtures.”

At the beginning of the video, which is captioned, “Trash people din and ditching because dog was on table,” everyone at the table can be seen grabbing their belongings and leaving. Many of their untouched dishes stay at the table. “Absolutely crazy,” the woman recording can be heard saying. “I’m filming this because who dines and ditches in Santa Monica, full meal.”

Right as the family is leaving, one of the women in the family can be seen getting in the face of another diner at @ncobeerbelly’s table, saying, “We’re not dining and dashing ‘cause we didn’t f*cking eat, so mind your f*cking business!”

Another family member begins to usher the woman out as @ncobeerbelly lets them know she’s recording. This further incenses the woman, who shoots up the middle finger at the camera before she walks out of the restaurant.

The angry woman tries to call the diner she yelled at previously a “Karen,” but @ncobeerbelly says, “You’re the Karen.”

Commenters sounded off about how “disrespectful” the family was for not paying. “To dine and dash in the middle of a pandemic when [restaurants] are already struggling??” one person wrote.

Another person said, “I’m baffled by the amount of people thinking it’s okay to run out on a $100 tab no matter the scenario, they just wasted at least $100 worth of food.”

The Dallas Wings And Isabelle Harrison Launched The ‘I Am’ Campaign

The Dallas Wings launched its I Am campaign on Wednesday amplifying the work of the team’s forward Isabelle Harrison who began the I Am movement back in July. The campaign will feature a video series that the team created as part of its social justice platform under the WNBA’s Justice Movement.

Harrison was featured in the first video the Wings produced for the series, speaking on using her platform to educate as best she can.

“I started the campaign after seeing the social injustices and atrocities in our country,” Harrison said in the announcement. “The purpose is to show all that their struggles are seen and show how alike we really are. I also wanted to make something that we could all come together on.”

Wings President and CEO Greg Bibb said in a statement, “I’m proud of the Izzy for her vision and our organization for working hard to make it come to life. Once again, our players are leading the way and using their voice to drive the conversation around social justice.”

The I Am t-shirts the Wings released nearly sold out on the first day, with all proceeds from the shirts going to Black Lives Matter, but select sizes are still available.

It’s just the latest effort from the WNBA which has long been on the front lines of the fight for social justice, as its players use their voices and platforms to push for change and continue to get support from their teams and the league to amplify those voices.

Rosie and Drew From ‘Marrying Millions’ Today — See the Couple Now

Season 1 couple Drew and Rosie were notoriously tight-lipped when it came to telling audiences how the two of them met. Throughout most of the season the couple kept insisting that how they met was irrelevant since they were so in love, but yet, fans persisted in wanting to know more.

Finally, during Rosie’s bachelorette party, she let it slip to her friends that she met Drew on a sugar daddy website, a fact that most fans of the show had already guessed. While Rosie’s friends were initially shocked at her revelation, by the end of the party, they seemed to be more supportive of the arrangement. 

But while her friends were able to come around, it seems highly unlikely that Rosie will fare just as well after revealing this detail to her conservative parents. Poor Rosie really does seem to think that her parents will come around, but if they didn’t like him when he was just some rich, old guy dating their daughter, they probably won’t be on board with the fact that the couple met through this unconventional website.

Here’s wishing the happy couple all the best for the future nonetheless!
