Must be tough for LeBron to not be the most popular guy in the room.

Obviously LeBron James is one of the most well-known athletes in the NBA. The Los Angeles Lakers star is often in the conversation along with Michael Jordan for the greatest basketball player of all time after winning four NBA championships with three different teams.

But over in Paris, they obviously don't care as much about the NBA.

LeBron is representing Team USA on the men's national basketball team in the 2024 Olympics, and last night the team took down Brazil in a massive 35 point blowout.

Charley Hull has a thing for golfers. 

The English pro golfer, who went viral for having a cigarette in her mouth while signing autographs at the U.S. Women’s Open in May, opened up about her dating life during a recent interview with Daily Mail. 

“I’ve dated guys who golf and guys who don’t,” the 28-year-old said. 

“It’s definitely easier if they do because that’s my spare-time passion too. If they don’t play, it’s harder for us to connect. I’ve had a taste of high-profile relationships, but I didn’t love everything that came with it, so I’m steering clear of that for now.”

Actor Buddy Ebsen, who died at age 95 in 2003, found fame by starring in two of the most popular classic television shows in history: The Beverly Hillbillies (CBS, 1962 to 1971) and Barnaby Jones (CBS, 1973 to 1980). On the Hillbillies, he played former Tennessee country mountain-folk-turned-wealthy Beverly Hills resident Jed Clampett. On Barnaby Jones, he was one of TV's most senior, slyest, health-conscious detectives. Ebsen, however, almost became even more famous for a certain big-screen classic film in which he ultimately did not appear.
