Donald Sterling’s alleged racist remarks that leaked over the weekend had everyone talking — including many of hip-hop’s notable names. Lil Wayne and Snoop Dogg were a few of the MC who had words of ire for the Los Angeles Clippers owner, but Game hopes to take things beyond the talk.

“I had playoff floor seats for the next home game; you might see ‘em on my Instagram ripped in half, just as one of the voices of my campaign,” the Los Angeles native told MTV News on Monday (April 28), referencing his #EmptySeatCampaign. “I’m definitely not attending.”

What began as a call to action in an Instagram post on Saturday has since picked up some steam on social media, and Game hopes fans take this as an opportunity to make a point — by not attending the next home game and creating an arena full of empty seats on Tuesday.

“If we could stand as a human race and just not support that organization on the next home game, I think that would [make] a statement,” he said. “We go to the next one, or the next one after that, because it’s not about the players, and you wanna support Chris [Paul] and the whole team, but we gotta take a stand, so that things like this don’t go with no consequences.”

On Saturday morning, TMZ obtained a tape of what is reportedly Sterling, who has owned the Clippers since 1981, making racist remarks. In a conversation with his then-girlfriend V. Stiviano, the 80-year-old is critical of her for ...

We’re not quite ready to let “How I Met Your Mother” go, and neither, it seems, is cast member Alyson Hannigan.

Speaking to TVLine, Hannigan, who played core character Lily over the show’s nine seasons, said there was one scene in particular cut from the finale that she thinks viewers would have loved: Ted’s wife’s funeral.

She described it as a “one-second montage” that would have allowed audiences to mourn the mother along with Ted, and to see that the character had gotten some closure. The more complete cut, Hannigan said, was sadder but more satisfying than the finale that aired.

“Honestly, if you saw [that] cut, it would be even more heart-wrenching than what the finale was,” Hannigan said. “They were like, ‘No. It’s just too gut-wrenching.’ And I was like, ‘That’s what I want. I want my heart ripped out and slammed on the floor and, like, stomped on!’”

Indeed, “stomped” is certainly an adjective that could have been used for the finale that aired last month, funeral or no funeral.

Perhaps the cut scene will be included on the upcoming DVD release of the show’s final season. Co-creator Carter Bays has teased that several deleted scenes will be available on the home release of the show.

What do you think? Would you have preferred to see the mother’s funeral? Were you happy with the finale of “How I Met Your Mother”?

Attention all serious media outlets dedicated to significant world happenings: STOP THE PRESSES. Sometime on Sunday, Rihanna changed her Twitter avatar from a photo of, like, her actual face to this blank-eyed, stick-figure rendering, which she also posted on Instagram.

The caption? “Say. My. Name.” Not to get all Nancy Kerrigan circa January 6, 1994 on all of you, but…

WHY?!

Well, according to many members of the Navy Nhevi, the “Can’t Remember To Forget You” singer might have been throwing shade at ex Chris Brown‘s current girlfriend, Karrueche Tran, who posted the following selfie only an hour prior to Rihanna’s mystifying Instagram.

In the caption, Karrueche added: “HELLO My name is…” So, we can see the connections that some of you are trying to draw between the timing of the ‘grams and their name-centric captions, but, um, internet? THIS IS KIND OF A REACH.

I mean, you’ve all seen Rihanna’s Instagram feed before, right? Sandwiched in between all the glamorous fashion editorials and questionably obtained slow lorises is literally just a string of memes, something this very Derpina-like drawing — which fans have dubbed “Rhenna” — is quickly becoming. Like, if Rihanna wasn’t this global, pop-music icon, she’d probably be, like, the biggest Reddit troll of all time, TBQH.

Or, who knows. Maybe our Queen just fell into her first-ever MS Paint-hole. (I can relate.) If you’ve got any other theories, no matter how conspiratorial, feel free to hit me up in the comments below.

The most curious aspect of Warner Bros’ surprise announcement of a “Justice League” movie following “Superman vs. Batman” wasn’t that Zack Snyder was directing, rumors over the release date, or the lack of a firm statement about a possible “Wonder Woman” movie.

No, it was the complete lack of mention as to what DC’s Batman plans are.

As we’ve reported a few times before, 2014 is the 75th Anniversary of the Dark Knight, and plans are well underway on the comics, animated and video game sides of the DC Universe. There’s even a TV show hitting FOX in the Fall that will tangentially involve a young Batman at the beginning of his journey.

But on the silver screen, where Batman has raked in box office cash for decades: nothing.

Yes, we have Ben Affleck filming his role in “Superman vs. Batman” starting in May; and presumably, he’ll also have a role in “Justice League.”

But given Christopher Nolan’s two most recent Batman movies are number seven and number four on the domestic box office list for all time, you’d think Warner Bros. would have a little more fire to spin out a Batman solo film.

There are a few possibilities here as to why we don’t have a comprehensive Batfleck plan, all of which are entirely plausible and completely uninformed (other than by history):

1. These Are All Batman Movies
With relative unknowns like Gal Gadot and Henry Cavill filling out the Justice League roster, Ben Affleck stands out as easily the most well-known and most bankable star on the cast. It’s possible other ...

Nicki Minaj is hard at work on her upcoming third album, but she already has a great reason to celebrate, even before that project drops. This weekend, Minaj made her big screen debut in the Fox comedy “The Other Woman,” which beat out “Captain American” to land at #1 with big box office sales. Let’s just add that to Nicki’s ever-growing list of #1 achievements. See a few more milestones below.

Pink Friday Climbed To #1
Nicki’s debut Pink Friday couldn’t clinch the #1 spot during its first week on the charts, thanks to some stiff competition from Kanye’s My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy album, but better late than never, right? Pink Friday remained in the top 10 consistently for weeks, finally securing #1 as the record hit the one million sales mark. And that was just the beginning.

Roman Reloaded Debuted At #1
There was no waiting period with Nicki’s second album. Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded debuted at #1 on the charts, with 253, 000 copies sold in week one–surpassing the original sales projections.

“Ice Age” Crushed The Box Office At #1
“The Other Woman” gave us a first glimpse of Nicki Minaj on the big screen, but it wasn’t actually her first film to hit #1. In 2012, Nicki (and fellow YMCMB rapper, Drake) were both featured as animated characters in “Ice Age: Continental Drift.” The family-friendly flick made a big showing during its first weekend at the box office, with $46 million in sales.

A #1 Fragrance With ...
