Jeremy Lin News: Lakers Guard’s MRI Test Reveals ‘Cartilage Abnormality’, Next NBA Team Up In The Air

Christian Post Report – Los Angeles Lakers guard Jeremy Lin (17) battles for the ball with Washington Wizards center Marcin Gortat (4) and Wizards forward Kris Humphries (43) in the first quarter at Verizon Center, Washington, D.C., Dec, 3, 2014.

One of the feel-good stories for the Los Angeles Lakers coming to the 2014-15 season was Jeremy Lin, whom LA picked from Houston for his contract year.

Lin was expected to train with future Hall of Famer Steve Nash, and mesh well with Kobe Bryant going to the season.

However, in the pre-season games, Nash injured his back, calling it a season even before it began.

To make things worse, first-round pick Julius Randle was sidelined with a season-ending leg injury as well.

As for Lin’s play, he was unspectacular most of the time, only showing bits and pieces of his New York brilliance three years ago.

Ultimately, coach Byron Scott designated him to the bench, until Bryant suffered from another injury.

Since the All-Star Break, Lin has been doing pretty well on the floor, together with Fil-Am Jordan Clarkson. However, a recent ESPN report revealed that the 26-year-old guard might not play during the Lakers’ last three games.

In the report, an MRI revealed a ‘cartilage abnormality’ – the reason he sat down during the Lakers’ 106-98 win against the Timberwolves. He will be re-evaluated in the coming days to see whether he can play before the season ends.

As for his tenure with the Lakers, the former Harvard standout refuses to provide any comment, and hints that he’d just cross that bridge when he gets there.

Although it hasn’t yet been disclosed as to what the 66-year-old award-winning star will be in AHS: Hotel, speculations drawn out from Murphy’s tweet indicated that Bates could be the hotel’s manager.

Bates has appeared back in “American Horror Story: Coven” as well as on “American Horror Story: Freak Show” where she played the character of a bearded lady named Ethel Darling.

As with the news about the pop icon Lady Gaga joining the AHS family, Bates added that she would “love to work” with the singer.

“I’m a big fan of hers, my jaw dropped when I saw her on the Oscars,” she meanwhile told E! News. “I’ve just decided I have to put her picture up in front of the treadmill.”

Other than Bates, and Lady Gaga, the new series will also feature the acts of Wes Bentley, Matt Bomer, and Cheyenne Jackson in various major roles.

‘Grey’s Anatomy’ Season 11 Spoilers: Episode 19 Recap ‘Crazy Love’

Christian Post Report – This week on “Grey’s Anatomy” all is well between Meredith and Derek as the two rekindle their relationship, while Amelia and Owen hits a rocky patch in theirs.

Grey's Anatomy The cast of Gre’s Anatomy

Derek and Meredith are blissfully happy and they can hardly stand to be away from each other. While they’re having breakfast with their children and getting ready to leave, Amelia comes in through the front door, wearing the same clothes she was wearing the night before, and she’s followed by Owen. He doesn’t realize that Meredith and Derek are sitting there, and when he does, he tries to leave. Derek offers them both breakfast to diffuse the awkwardness, but they both decline.

Derek is heading back to D.C. to resign from his job, so he kisses Meredith goodbye and he tells her, “Wait for me, I’ll be back before you know it.”

At the hospital, Meredith corners Amelia and asks her about what’s going on between her and Owen. Amelia gets defensive, and Meredith tells her that she’s only asking because Christina asked her to look after him. Meredith reminds Amelia to be careful before leaving her alone.

Meredith’s questions put Amelia in a bad mood all day as she snaps at Stephanie and tells her that she doesn’t need any help today.

Later, a young girl with a severely damaged spine is brought in. It turns out that the girl is a golf player and making sure that her spine gets healed is important for her future. Callie and Amelia are arguing about how to fix it, and later, Amelia tries to fix the spine without consulting Callie. Unfortunately, Amelia messes up the operation so Bailey’s husband is forced to get Callie so they can try to save the girl’s spine.

Despite their best efforts, they fail, and Amelia blames herself for it. She also blames Owen for siding with her when she and Callie started arguing about how to go about fixing the girl’s spine. She drags Owen to the supply room and says that he only took her side because they have this thing going on between them. She tells him that mixing their personal with their professional lives will bring nothing but trouble.

Later, a phone call comes in for Meredith, and it’s the White House looking for Derek. It turns out he never showed up for his meeting and that no one has heard from him since he left the house that morning. Derek is missing.

“Grey’s Anatomy” airs on Thursdays at 8/7c on ABC.

Teresa Giudice Prison News: Star Returning to Real Housewives of New Jersey After Prison

Christian Post Report – Teresa Giudice still has a few months left on her prison sentence, but her fans can look forward to her return on “The Real Housewives of New Jersey” after she’s released—if the reality star is interested in Bravo’s offer.

“Bravo wants Teresa back” for season 7 of the franchise, says a source from Us Weekly. The source also claims that Giudice’s sister in law, Melissa Gorga will most likely return to the show along with other newcomers.

Sources tell the magazine that Bravo producers are scouting for fresh talent, including Tracy Lynn Johnson, “Cake Boss” Buddy Valastro’s wife Lisa Valastro, and Erica Levy, who’s married to talk show host Geraldo Rivera.

Giudice entered prison on January 5 after she and her husband, Joe, were charged with a 39-count indictment of conspiracy to commit mail fraud and wire fraud, bank fraud and bankruptcy fraud in October 2014.

Upon completion of Giudice’s 15-month sentence, Joe is expected to serve 41 months in prison.

In the meantime, the network may spotlight other members of the Giudice family. Joe is reportedly in talks with Bravo to star in a reality series about his new life as he cares for daughters Gia, 14, Gabriella, 10, Milania, 9, and Audriana, 5, while his wife is in prison.

Joe himself confirmed this during a four-hour interview with Us Weekly at his home in New Jersey.

“We met,” said Joe to the magazine. “Now it’s something for our attorneys to figure out.” A source from the magazine says that production on Joe’s show could begin as early as May.

It was also reported last year that Gia might be featured in a new reality show which focuses on her girl group, 3KT, as they try to find success in the music industry.

The incident, which happens during an Elvis impersonation convention, would call on the attention of Five-O wherein they must track down the culprits who, as found out, are actually after the hidden diamonds sewn into the victim’s costume.

Carter Matt said in their report that this week’s ordeal could prove to be a challenging one for Hawaii’s finest as the convention would expect to be littered with so many Elvis wannabes. This could prove to be very difficult to follow one particular suspect amongst the crowd.

The summary from TFC went on to mention that Gabriel Waincroft (Christopher Sean) will return to seek Chin’s (Daniel Dae Kim) help regarding his plans on getting off the island.

Written by David Wolkove and under the direction of James Wilcox, Episode 21 “Fallen Star” also features the acts of Alex O’Loughlin as Steve McGarrett, Scott Caan as Danny Williams, Grace Park as Kono Kalakaua, Masi Oka as Dr. Max Bergman, Chi McBride as Lou Grover, and Jorge Garcia as Jerry Ortega.

Emma Stone and Andrew Garfield Split Rumors? Couple on a Break?

Christian Post Report – After three years of dating, Emma Stone and Andrew Garfield are reportedly on a break.

Rumors of a breakup started circulating when Stone attended numerous awards shows this year without her boyfriend. Garfield was notably absent from the Golden Globes and the Oscars, where Stone was nominated for Best Supporting Actress.

A source from People said that the couple has decided to take a break since both of them are currently busy with work.

“He’s thrown himself in the project to the detriment of all else,” said the source of Garfield, who is currently shooting Martin Scorsese’s new film, “Silence,” on location in Taiwan. “But it’s too early to say the relationship is over.”

An insider from Us Weekly says that Garfield is “very in his character” as he plays a Jesuit priest in the film.

“He’s lost weight, and he’s in a dark place mentally for his performance and he’s not boyfriend material right now,” the source said.

“Emma understands his work anxieties—it’s why she originally pulled out of ‘Cabaret’ last year and only did it this year—but they’re taking a break from each other,” a confidante told People magazine.

Meanwhile, the 26-year-old actress has been spending time with her brother, Spencer, in LA after wrapping up production on her film “Aloha.” After news of her alleged break with Garfield surfaced this week, Stone was spotted with her brother and their friends at Disneyland where the actress was seen enjoying the rides and having a margarita at California Adventure.

Though they’ve possibly taken a breather from their relationship, there’s a chance that they may reconcile when Garfield finishes filming in May.

“It’s one of those situations where only Andrew and Emma quite know if they’ll pick up where they left off or they’re separated,” said an insider.

The couple was last photographed together in New York City’s West Village on Jan. 7.

CFL 2015 News, Rumors: League Adopts Major Rule Changes

Christian Post Report – The Canadian Football League has approved major rule changes for the 2015 season. Most of the new rules deal with the point after conversion with an emphasis on making that play less automatic and create a more exciting convert attempt for the fans.

The CFL’s President and Chief Operating Office Matt Copeland made the following statements as reported by CFL.ca: “The Board endorsed the view that this is a great time for our league to innovate. We’re looking forward to putting in place changes that have the potential to improve an already great game.”

CFL CFL

The CFL has made major rule changes for the 2015 season

The one point kick which was being snapped at the 12 yard line will now be moved back to the 32 yard line. In 2014 99.4 percent of the single point kicks were successful, which makes for boring play. In field goals attempted from the 31-33 yard line, the percentage dropped to 81 percent, which makes a one point convert less of an automatic play.

In another rule the CFL moved the two point convert from the five yard line to the three. This was done in an attempt to get more coaches to take the risk of the two point play and create more exciting plays on the field. In 2014 only 30 percent of two-point conversions were successful, but the league as a whole only attempted 23 of them.

Beyond making for exciting single play in a game, the new rules could bring about a interesting scoring dynamic. If more scores are of six and eight points, then late game strategy could wind up being radically different. If a kicker struggles from 32 yards more CFL coaches may opt for the two-point try to make up for misses. Either way this is a growing trend in football and the NFL will likely adopt similar rules at the league meeting in May.

Sheldon says yes, and when he offers to lend her pajamas and a toothbrush, Amy reveals her emergency supplies that she’s hidden all over his place just in case she finally gets to sleepover.

OnePlus One Release Date, Specs News: Is The New Oxygen OS Worth It?

Christian Post Report – After months of waiting, the latest mobile operating system for the OnePlus smartphone is finally here.

For those who have not yet received the news, the Android “flagship killer” may already run the newest Oxygen OS.

According to the report by GSM Arena, Oxygen was originally a back-up plan for OnePlus after its initial partner, Cyanogen, made a deal with Micromax, one of the former’s fierce competitors in India.

While Cyanogen still announced that it would release the latest CyanogenMod 12s to both the OnePlus One, and the Micromax Yureka, OnePlus might still want to enjoy an exclusive deal.

As a result, the Oxygen project was born.

In reports, the mobile OS should have been released on March 27, but it was a delayed by more than a week due to compatibility and other system issues.

The new OS is based on Google’s Android 5.0.2 Lollipop update, and boasts minimalists features and icons.

Similar to other third-party developed Android builds, the Oxygen OS also has some custom animations, gesture options, security features, and other additions to make it stand out from vanilla Android 5.0 Lollipop.

Based on recent reports and rumors, OnePlus would be banking its future in Oxygen OS, especially with the release of its OnePlus Two later this year.

While this may not be good news for Cyanogen fans, this is something they just have to accept if they are OnePlus One fans as well.
