NBA Commissioner Says Sterling Ban Wasn't Personal

After banning longtime friend Donald Sterling from the NBA in April, NBA commissioner Adam Silver says there are no hard feelings on his end about the decision.

"On a personal level it was very difficult," he said to TMZ. "Its business and I think he understood that as well."

Silver made the call after Sterling was heard in a recording stating racist comments about African Americans. Silver also made it clear that he didn't want any members of the Sterling family in ownership of the Clippers.

It was reported Thursday that ex-Microsoft executive Steve Ballmer won the highest bid for the Clippers at $2 billion.

Jennifer Lopez Is Sultry and Sexy in 'First Love' Video

What do you get when you put Jennifer Lopez in desolate desert? One sizzling-hot video! J.Lo is sultry and sexy in her clip for the Max Martin-produced ballad ‘First Love.’

Directed by Anthony Mandler, the video features Lopez in the Mojave desert searching for her true love. Then comes her hunky love interest, British model David Gandy, who comes to her aid on a motorcycle no less.

We then see the two canoodling in the hot desert, hugging and kissing on each other. The 44-year-old pop star also shows off all her bodacious curves in an all-white bodysuit and black dress. There’s also some side-to-side boob action from Jenny, as well. Don’t blink or else you might miss it.

We must also mention that J.Lo’s visual gives off an aura of classic ’90s Herb Ritts videos like Janet Jackson’s ‘Love Will Never Do Without You‘ and Lopez’s own sepia-colored ‘Ain’t It Funny.’

Overall, the video looks amazing and Lopez is stunning as ever — even in the hot desert.

Jennifer Lopez’s 10th album, ‘A.K.A.,’ will arrive in stores on June 17. The collection features guest appearances from Nas, Iggy Azalea, T.I., Pitbull and Rick Ross.

Watch Jay Pharaoh Rap in 'Problems' Video

Comedian Jay Pharaoh is best known for his comedic skills on ‘Saturday Night Live,’ but he flexes his funny bone in his new video for ‘Problems.’

Set to a steady, bass heavy beat, the funnyman pulls off his best gangsta rap posturing and spits rhymes about the hard life of rap artists. Although the beat would hint at a more serious, uncensored look into Pharaoh’s hardships, the lyrics actually point to something a bit more comedic.

“I got problems / I got issues / I got problems / Now where the tissues,” he raps on the chorus.

Poking fun at the persona that rappers put up when they’re performing these songs, the ‘SNL’ star does a great job proving that he’s got lyrical skills. There’s also some witty digs at some of today’s popular hip-hoppers.

While he talks about smoking weed and making tons of money, there are parts in the song where Pharoah goes out of his rapper persona and explains that it’s all facade. After his quick explanation, he jumps back even harder into the chorus.

Between the auto-tune and breaks between gangsta rap and dramatic monologue, this is a video that will keep you laughing from beginning to end.
