New Role in Tech Company
Published
Tristan Thompson‘s bouncing back from his recent on-court scuffle with the Toronto Raptors … announcing he’s looking to the future off the hardwood — with a new role in a massive artificial intelligence endeavor.
The Cleveland Cavaliers star was named the Chief Content Officer and Lead Advisor for TracyAI — a new project involving Virtuals Protocol, a leader in the A.I. space.
TracyAI — announced in San Francisco during this weekend’s NBA All-Star Game festivities — will provide new real-time analysis for sports broadcasts … enhancing the way fans of the sport get to see and understand the game.
During the rollout, Thompson said, “I am excited to have this opportunity to be a part of this team that is creating a disruptive technology that will transform how athletes and fans deeper understand analytics in games.”

It’s a much more positive development than the on-court incident TT was involved in earlier this week … when he dunked on the Raptors in garbage time — and, the other team took exception.
The Raptors head coach Darko Rajakovic called Thompson’s actions disrespectful after the game … but, Khloe Kardashian‘s ex shrugged them off — saying “You wanna full court press with under a minute left in the game when you get cracked by 30 this will happen to you.”
Unclear what TracyAI would have to say about this incident … but, it looks like the tech will soon change the way we perceive the whole dang sport.
MMA’s Guilherme Vasconcelos
Cause Of Death Revealed
Published
Guilherme “Bomba” Vasconcelos — an MMA fighter who competed in the UFC and Bellator, and dated Demi Lovato — died by suicide, according to newly-released documents.
TMZ Sports obtained the case report from the October 15 incident … which state cops were dispatched to an Illinois home around 9 AM after a woman reported finding Vasconcelos in the garage.
After reviewing security camera footage … cops determined Vasconcelos took his own life the night prior around 11:45 PM — and was not discovered until the following morning.
A search of the house recovered several vials of anabolic steroids, with two mostly empty and two unopened. A suicide note was not discovered.
According to a toxicology report … it yielded only one positive finding — caffeine.
Over the course of his MMA career … Vasconcelos racked up a record of 10-6. He and Lovato were first spotted together in 2017 during New Year’s Eve festivities after several months of dating.
Guilherme’s uncle, Walter, mourned the loss of his nephew at the time … saying, “We were looking forward to your visit for Christmas, which will no longer happen. Life is fleeting, and we woke up to this devastating news. What a time we live in.”
RIP

Justin Bieber
Snaps at Paparazzi
… So Disrespectful!!!
Published
BACKGRID
Justin Bieber was getting snapped and then he snapped … unloading on a paparazzi for saying something the pop star felt was disrespectful.
Ya gotta see the heated interaction between Justin and a photog … with the Biebs snapping at the guy, set off by the dude saying “Thank you.”
Justin asks the photog — who is not a TMZ cameraman — why he’s thanking him … and explains why it’s disrespectful to do so.
Bieber was heading back to his SUV with Hailey Bieber after grabbing breakfast at Beverly Glen Deli in Los Angeles … and paps were waiting for him.
Justin told the guy to stick to taking pictures and letting him do his thing … with no need to thank JB for anything.
We don’t usually see this kind of reaction from Justin … so it’s pretty interesting.
Justin and Hailey hanging out in public is noteworthy too … the couple was dogged by break-up rumors last month but they squashed it and now they’re out together.
