Lakers’ JJ Redick
Helps Kids Impacted By L.A. Fires …
Special Basketball Clinic!!!
Published
Sweet gesture from Lakers head coach JJ Redick — he held a special basketball clinic on his day off on Sunday for kids who have been impacted by the recent wildfires in L.A.
Los Angeles’ sideline manager put on the one-of-a-kind camp in conjunction with his LA Strong Sports foundation … inviting a bunch of little tykes to help learn ball at the Lakers’ practice facility in El Segundo.
Redick spoke to the campers before giving them pointers on jump shots and defense … and check out some of the pics the Lakers shared from the event — everyone seemed thrilled.
The fires, of course, directly impacted Redick … he lost his Pacific Palisades home in one of the blazes — and he was super emotional talking about the destruction in the days after learning the news.

Redick’s kids, too, lost a massive NBA memorabilia collection in the January inferno … though throughout the last few months, players have been helping them build it back up.
Don’t expect Sunday’s camp to be the last good deed from Redick — he and his foundation have promised to help build “a safe, welcoming space where individuals and families can come together to play, grow, and compete” in L.A.
Awesome stuff, JJ!

Illinois Teacher
Cops Allege Classroom Sex With Student
Published
An Illinois teacher accused of sexually assaulting a 15-year-old student she tutored allegedly began messaging him using a digital school platform, which prosecutors say ramped up into flirtatious texts … and a sexual encounter inside a classroom.
Christina Formella first got together with the student in 2023 when she was his freshman soccer coach at Downers Grove South High School … this according to court documents, obtained by TMZ.
The docs say Formella started privately tutoring the alleged victim after he broke his collarbone. Prosecutors say Formella then gave him her number so they could play “8-Ball Pool” on their phones. The pair then allegedly exchanged provocative texts, followed by a FaceTime meeting between the student and Formella.
According to the docs, the teacher and her student began having feelings for each other, which came to a head one day in December 2023, when they met in a classroom at the school before classes began. Prosecutors say Formella shut the door, and started kissing the victim, who reportedly fondled her, and she removed his clothes. They both allegedly took off her leggings, and he put on a condom and had sex with Formella. He was 15 and she was 28 at the time, prosecutors allege.
The docs say both later acknowledged to each other what they did was wrong, and they never had sex again, and spoke for the last time in February 2024.
Cops say the student’s mom found the lurid text messages on her son’s phone and reported them to the police department, which started the criminal investigation that led to Formella’s arrest the next day, on March 16, 2025.
Prosecutors charged Formella with aggravated criminal sexual abuse and criminal sexual assault. Formella is currently on administrative leave from the school.

Cameron Dicker ain’t shriveling away from jokes about his last name … in fact, the L.A. Charger is downright cocky about them — telling TMZ Sports he finds all the quips hilarious!
The kicker got candid about his family name with us out at LAX a few days ago … explaining he has no problems with people who associate him with phallic matters.
He went on to tell us they’ve always brought a smile to his face — even when he was a kid.
“I have a good time with it,” he admitted. “I enjoyed it. I think it’s funny. So, it’s a good thing.”
Cameron told us he’s actually known around the Chargers’ facility as simply “Dick,” and check out the clip — he couldn’t help but grin ear to ear when explaining the nickname to us.
Dicker told us he’s hoping it all eventually leads to more and more positive things for his communities … telling us he was to grow his platform so he “can help impact youth and help father-less kids.”
“Provide light in dark places of the world,” he added.
That’s some big Dick energy we can get behind.
