LeBron James’ New Nike LeBron X Will Retail For $315
Reigning NBA MVP and NBA champion LeBron James’ new signature sneaker will cost you three bills (with Ben Franklin in the portrait) and change. Yep, the new Nike LeBron X, which King James rocked for the first time during Team USA’s gold medal game and drops this fall, will hit retail for a cool $315. Blame cool new bell & whistles and slumping profits for the hefty price tag. Reports the Wall Street Journal:
Analysts expect that this 10th LeBron shoe will retail for around $315. The first edition, modeled after basketball star LeBron James, the Nike Zoom Generation, retailed for around $110 in 2003; the ninth edition retails for around $250.
The price leaps come after Nike’s gross margins dropped to 42.8% from 44.3% in its most recent quarter ending May 31, the sixth-straight year-to-year quarterly decline. Nike’s margins are now lower than most of its direct competitors, rival Adidas AG ADS.XE 0.00% and apparel maker Under Armour Inc.
In Case You Missed It!! Memphitz Tells His Side of the K. Michelle Story
Memphitz finally broke his silence in the ongoing saga between himself and K. Michelle back in June on the T.T Torrez show. Since the first time she appeared on Love and Hip Hop Atlanta K. Michelle’s entire storyline has revolved around her telling the story of how Memphitz kicked her ass and stole her money. Memphtiz has remained silent, but Memph explains to T.T Torrez that it was K. Michelle who attacked him and not the other way around. In the interview Memphitz tells T.T. that after K. Michelle embarrassed him in a business meeting with her loud mouth, he sent her to the hotel room to wait until he was finished. After returning to the room, Memphitz says he broke up with K. Michelle and that’s when she came out swinging. Memphitz admits restraining K. but not hitting her or trying to smother her with a pillow. Memphitz also took a moment to share that MiMi’s best friend Ariane, that they used to date and when he sees her on the previews sitting with K. Michelle, he wonders why she never vouches for the fact that he never laid a hand on her. Take a listen:

Lauryn Hill Turns Down Oprah Interview
Oprah has interviewed everyone from Michael Jackson to President Obama, but there’s one celebrity who has evaded her. According to the media mogul, Lauryn Hill turned down an offer to sit down with her.
Following her revealing interview with Rihanna for “Oprah’s Next Chapter,” one of O’s Twitter followers asked her to get Lauryn Hill on her show, but the elusive superstar was not interested. “Tried. She said no,” tweeted Oprah.
Winfrey has scored exclusive interviews with Whitney Houston’s daughter Bobbi Kristina, 50 Cent, the Kardashians, and Paris Jackson for the latest season of her OWN program.
Another star who’s not quite ready to have a heart-to-heart with Oprah is Beyoncé. While the private singer appeared on her daytime talk show several times, she has been reluctant to say yes to an in-depth interview. “See if you can convince Beyonce, I haven’t had luck yet,” Oprah told one fan.
The embattled Fugees frontwoman is facing three years behind bars after intentionally failing to file tax returns in 2005, 2006, and 2007. She will be sentenced in November.
