LOS ANGELES

The Hawks (4-9) ended their West Coast road trip with a 122-101 loss to the Lakers (11-2) Sunday at the Staples Center.

Below are some takeaways from the loss:

1. A day after the Hawks quickly fell in a 17-point hole and lost to the Clippers by 49, the loss to the Lakers looked like it would be a similar tale early on. Atlanta quickly got in a 15-point hole and later trailed 30-6 with 4:32 still to play in the first quarter. This one stayed at least a little more competitive, with the Hawks fighting their way back to make it a 10-point game in the third quarter outscoring the Lakers 36-27 in that period after a put-back layup by Evan Turner. But it still got out of hand in the fourth, with back-to-back 3s by Kyle Kuzma giving L.A. a 102-82 lead with just over nine minutes to go.

It was good to see our guys fight a little bit tonight, Hawks coach Lloyd Pierce said. What a crazy start to the game that was, I think 30-6 we were down. To be down 12 at the quarter, just a little bit of fight from our guys, which was important. Two tough teams on a back-to-back, two teams that played extremely well, even for their standards.

2. With LeBron James on the bench for the last 2:46 of the first quarter and to start the second, the Hawks cut a 25-point deficit to 10. James checked back in at the 8:26 mark of the second and the Lakers quickly got back to their dominant pace, leading by 28 at halftime. James was a plus-41 at halftime. He finished with 33 points, seven rebounds and 12 assists, making 6 of 10 3-point attempts.

3.Hawks guard Trae Young registered his sixth 30-point game of the season, finishing with 31 points, seven assists and two steals, though he did add a season-high eight turnovers. Young continues to face most of the heat from opponents defenses.

The Hawks shot 43% from the field and made eight 3s compared to the Lakers 52.8% from the field with 15 3s.

Were not shooting well, extremely well as a team, Pierce said. Hes feeling everyones double teams and hits and hes getting hit and pressured. A lot of times, thats how he ends up with some of the turnovers, just an enormous amount of pressure.

4. This loss wraps up the Hawks West Coast trip. They went 1-4, losing to Portland in overtime, beating Denver behind 42 points from Young and losing three straight to the Suns, Clippers and Lakers. They fall to 4-9 on the season and it doesnt get easier anytime soon, with a home game against Milwaukee and reigning MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo looming Wednesday.

We knew, coming out West for a five-game trip, as a young team, and the caliber of opponents we were playing, was going to be tough, Pierce said. We snuck one (against Denver), we drop one in Portland that we felt we probably could have had, and we go against two elite teams in our league. Glad its over. Glad we got this trip out of the way early. But we have a lot of work to do.

5. The Hawks had a much better second half than first half, and a lot of that can be attributed to solid performances by rookies DeAndre Hunter and Cam Reddish. (Both were held scoreless in the first half. )

In addition to carrying their weight defensively, Hunter went 4 for 4 from the field in the second half, scoring two 3-point attempts. Hunter contributed 11 points and three assists.

Reddish went 5 for 10, making 1 of 4 3s. Reddish finished with 13 points and three steals.

7 (the amount of Lakers players who finished with double-digit points in LeBron James, Anthony Davis, Danny Green, Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, Kyle Kuzma, Rajon Rondo and Alex Caruso)

A well-conditioned athlete, probably the greatest athlete weve ever seen. At the top of his game. I dont care how old he is. Hes at the top of his game right now. (Pierce on facing James, who is 34)

How to Get Rid Of Double Chin Within A Week? - International Business Times

CANELO ALVAREZ has dethroned Vasiliy Lomachenko as the world's best boxer after becoming a four-weight champion earlier this month.

The Mexican superstar beat WBO light-heavyweight champion Sergey Kovalev in Las Vegas to cement his legacy in the list of the sport's immortals.

10

Boxing bible Ring Magazine has now seen fit to adorn Alvarez with another accolade less than two weeks after Lomachenko was crowned King of the Ring.

Familiar faces behind the Ukrainian include Terence Crawford, who will be hoping another winning performance in his final fight of the year will spearhead him back into the top three.

Here is Ring Magazines top ten boxers...

Mexican hero Saul Alvarez has quickly taken over as boxings biggest star since former foe Mayweather walked away from the sport.

With only a sole loss - to Mayweather in 2013 aged 23 - "Canelo" has gone on to rule the super-welterweight and middleweight divisions as well as winning a world title at super-middleweight.

However, a controversial draw and contentious win against rival Gennady Golovkin had doubters questioning Canelos invincibility with a trilogy bout yet to take place.

Snubbing GGG to move up to 175lbs, a win over KO king Kovalev to become a four-weight champion and actively ruling three divisions has seen him rise to the P4P top.

10

Leaving the amateur game with a record of 396-1 - with the one loss to Albert Selimov later avenged - the simple question was could the boxing maestro transcend his skill-set to 12 rounds.

But after being roughed up by Orlando Salido for the WBO featherweight title in his second pro fight, Loma has not suffered a blip since, becoming the quickest three-weight world champion in history.

In just 14 bouts, the 31-year-old has won four world belts and earned scalps such as Gary Russell Jr, Guillermo Rigondeaux, Jorge Linares and most recently Britains Campbell.

Loma has already named dangerous hitter Naoya Inoue, powerhouse Gervonta Davis and rising star Devin Haney on his wishlist of 2020 opponents.

10

A monstrous puncher, Inoue is working his way up the divisions and remaining the most powerful man in the ring.

Having begun his career at 108lbs the Japanese star went on to claim titles at super-flyweight, junior-bantamweight champion and bantamweight.

Unbeaten Inoue recently dared to call out Lomachenko for a featherweight bout - having scored 16 KOs in his 18 wins.

The heavy-handed 26-year-old moves up to third after being crowned the World Boxing Super Series champion at bantamweight following his points victory over Nonito Donaire.

10

Possibly the best switch-hitter in the game right now, Crawford has the ability to overwhelm any foe with his combination punching.

The American has won world titles at lightweight, super-lightweight and currently reigns as WBO welterweight king - having held undisputed gold at 140lbs.

Though unlike others on this list, Crawford is yet to beat a high-profile name - but that could change if he secures a welterweight unification bout.

He faces little-known Egidijus Kavaliauskas on December 14, but insists next year he will go after the best in the 147lbs division after calling out countrymen Errol Spence Jr.

10

Usyk reigned as undisputed cruiserweight king having won the WBSS, and has now stamped his authority at heavyweight following a high-profile win against Tony Bellew.

The Ukrainian maestro made a successful debut after making the step up when he stopped replacement opponent Chazz Witherspoon in seven rounds.

Promoter Eddie Hearn has already hinted the 32-year-old could be in line to challenge for the WBO heavyweight title after securing a No1 spot with the governing body.

Hearn claims the winner of the rematch between Anthony Joshua and Andy Ruiz Jr will likely vacate the belt to instead face their IBF mandatory Kubrat Pulev - an easier option than Usyk.

10

Former sparring partner of Floyd Mayweather, Spences punch volume, body attacks and balance give him the tools to rule the welterweight division.

He has also been slated to move up the weights - having dwarfed many of his opponents at 147lbs - showing off his relentless pressure against Kell Brook in Sheffield three years ago.

But the Texan added another belt in September, after he out-battled Shawn Porter in a Fight of The Year contender to become the new WBC and unified champion.

He was already lined up to face either Danny Garcia or WBA champion Manny Pacquiao, but a devastating car crash left the boxer lucky to be alive and miraculously without a single broken bone.

10

Failing to get the decision against Canelo in 2017 and then 2018 has cost Golovkin both his belts and a spot in the second half of this list.

Despite his age, 37-year-old Golovkin became world champion again by winning Canelos vacated IBF belt against Sergiy Derevyanchenko last month.

Alvarez insists despite GGG winning back a world honour the trilogy does not interest him - unless the money is right.

But for Golovkin the road does not end with the Mexican, with a move up to super-middleweight to become a two-division champion also sure to enhance the Kazakh's legacy.

10

The Mexican rose to fame after avenging his defeat to Srisaket Sor Rungvisai - the man who dethroned super-flyweight king Roman Gonzalez.

It came after Estrada reigned as unified flyweight world champion having beaten Brian Viloria.

The 29-year-old moved to 40 wins in August after stopping American Dewayne Beamon in a tune-up bout ahead of bigger fights next year.

The Russian powerhouse cemented his place as the man at 175lbs after stopping Oleksandr Gvozdyk to add the WBC title to his IBF belt.

The now unified light-heavyweight puncher stayed resilient in the Eastern European affair and kept his 100 per cent KO rate intact.

A unification clash against WBA ruler Dmitry Bivol has now been mentioned alongside apotential meeting with Kovalev.

In his storied 24-year career Pacquiao has ruled eight weight divisions, beginning his career at flyweight (112lbs) and going on to win titles at every weight up until welterweight (147lbs).

TOKYO, JAPAN - NOVEMBER 06: SoftBank Group Corp. Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Masayoshi Son ... [+] arrives for a press conference on November 6, 2019 in Tokyo, Japan. SoftBank reported its second-quarter earnings result posting a 704 billion yen ($6.46 billion) loss for the July-September period. (Photo by Tomohiro Ohsumi/Getty Images)

Softbank's rescue ofWeWork, an American commercial real estate company founded in 2010, avoided a near term liquidity meltdown. However, the holding company has not addressed any of the structural concerns in WeWork's business model. WeWork has a high level of debt in its balance sheet. The high degree of debt subjected the business to a great deal of risk. Hence the firm's only route to survival was exponential growth. Now Softbank, with its bailout offer, has added even more debt in WeWork's balance sheet. This action can further restraint WeWork's growth.

It has been a few weeks sinceWeWork IPO collapsedunder the weight of its pricing inconsistencies. WeWork was a growth machine with tremendous operating and financial leverage, where a blunder could very quickly tip them into insolvency. After WeWork filed to go public in August, investorsrailed againstits unproven business model, mounting losses, limited governance, and its founder Adam Neumann's questionable conduct. As a result, the company discontinued its IPO, and Neumann stepped down. This setback left the company in acash crunch, as WeWork was relying on the IPO to provide $3 billion in capital to cover its near-term needs. After the IPO failure, Softbank emerged as the protector, funding an additional $8 billion in the company, and exercising a much more significant stake in its equity.Softbank offered a lifeline, with three provisions to it:

Corporate Redemption or Sunk cost fallacy

Softbank is the biggest investor in WeWork and financed $7.5 billion in the company during the IPO. The holding company had also funded the most recent round of capital, at a pricing of $47 billion. Softbank had no alternative since, without an infusion of capital, WeWork was worth nothing.

In the connection of Softbank's WeWork investment, the holding company is financing $8 billion in WeWork, not because it thinks that it can earn more than that amount in incremental value from future cash flows, but because it had financed $7.5 billion in the past. That looks like a classic case of throwing good money after bad. Softbank is making a typical rookie error by yielding to the sunk cost fallacy and assuming that the additional investments will finally recover previous losses.

Accounting Fair Value

Fair value accounting provides accountants with a way to update the balance sheet, to reflect real-world changes and developments, and make it more valuable to investors. In Softbank's latest earnings report,the company had written down its WeWork investment by $4.6 billionand reported a hefty loss for the quarter. The write-down was a reaction to the drop in the pricing of the WeWork's equity from the $47 billion before the IPO to $8 billion after the IPO implosion. Softbank was fixing the pricing, at both the $47 billion pre-IPO, and the $8 billion, post-collapse. There is nothing concrete in any of Softbank's copious press releases to verify these numbers. Hence the fair value accounting in WeWork's case is a delayed response to a pricing adjustment and is not a value reassessment.

Softbank: The WeWork Effect

Softbank is a holding company for investments in other companies, and many of Softbank's most recent ventures have been in growing, private businesses like WeWork. The holding company's investment approach is to issue enormous funds into its target companies that they were practically overflowing in the capital; this would provide the companies, to overwhelm their competitors and achieve supremacy in their markets. Softbank finance enterprises that provide goods and services for lower than their cost. The holding company's strategy was that in the future, they would be able to raise prices to cover their losses. The problem with this strategy is that, often, a time arrives when building a company out of selling the products at a loss no longer works. In the case of Amazon, the strategy worked, and the company now holds a de-facto monopoly on online retail, but for WeWork, the approach was a disaster.

Softbank prices their investments in its financials based on recent VC funding rounds. As WeWork venture has unwound, Softbank has lost more than $15 billion in value since its IPO announcement. After WeWork's debacle, investors are cautious about trusting VC pricing. Softbank was the largest investor at both the WeWork and Uber two of the most high-profile private companies in recent years that also had notable issues with the founder's management and governance. The holding firm's standing as a company skilled at selecting the winners of the disruption game has been maligned, at least for the moment and perhaps irreparably. The easiest way to measure how investor perceptions have changed is to compare the market capitalization of Softbank to its book value, a significant proportion of which indicates its holdings, marked to market. The price to book ratio has experienced a sharp correction, with the market capitalization at 123% of the book value of equity in November 2019. The holding company is trading at a deep discount to its net assets, which include a $ 110 billion stake in Chinese e-commerce giant Alibaba. WeWork fiasco casts severe doubt on Softbank's investment strategy and on its hopes for raising a second $100 billion technology investment fund.

BALTIMORE For the first time all season, the Ravens defense, not the offense, had to carry the teams weight.

With the game tied at zero through the first quarter, and after a rare Justin Tucker missed field goal, the Ravens defense was forced to hold the fort long enough for the offense to get going. And once the offense found its stride, the defense didnt let up.

The Ravens defense held MVP-candidate Deshaun Watson at bay all afternoon long en route to another 30-pointwin, a 41-7 romp, at M&T Bank Stadium over the Texans.

I feel like were hitting our stride, especially with the defensive side of the ball, defensive tackle Chris Wormley said. The offense has been playing well all season and were finally clicking on all levels. Today felt pretty good being the side of the ball that got us going.

Baltimore finished with a season-high seven sacks and had 10 quarterback hits on Watson. For the entirety of the afternoon, the Ravens kept Watson in the pocket and unable to throw downfield with any consistency. The end result was the best defensive performance of the season.

Just try to contain him, keep him in that cage, Tyus Bowser said of the gameplan. Just try to get to him as best you can. They have a great front line, and we did very well as far as in the secondary of making him hold the ball. When that happens, weve got to do our job on the front line and try to get to him and we did that well.

Bowser finished with two sacks, as did Matthew Judon. The sacks kept the Texans offense, which entered ranked eighth in the NFL with 26.4 points per game, down to just seven the touchdown came when the Texans trailed 34-0.

Watson threw for just 169 yards on 18-of-29 passing with an interception. Houston had just 232 yards of total offense and possessed the ball for just 23:41 of game time.

But the most impressive part of the day was the pass-rush for the Ravens, who entered with just 16 sacks on the season.

It was part of the plan, Wormley said. We worked it all week and we stuck to it. No one was selfish and trying to do their own thing and it worked out pretty well for us.

Once the Ravens offense, which scored on its last seven possessions drives that didnt end the half or the game got going, the Ravens defense didnt let up, either.

Houston turned the ball over twice, punted three times and turned it over on downs three times throughout the game. The other two drives ended in a missed field goal and a touchdown.

The way the win happened was, admittedly, a bit shocking for the Ravens, which had to slow down DeAndre Hopkins and Watson, one of the NFLs best quarterback-wide receiver combos. Hopkins finished with just 80 yards on seven catches and the Ravens dominated one of the NFL's best teams from start to finish.

You just go out there and play the best ball that you can, Earl Thomas said. Today was a little surprising, I hope nobody on the team gets offended, but I didnt think we was going to do them like that. Just take it one game at a time and keep chopping wood.

With the Ravens defense seemingly having turned a corner, the Ravens can now seriously be discussed as one of the NFLs elite teams if they werent already.

Its a start contrast from where the defense was after the fourth game of the season, a 40-25 loss to the Browns where the defense couldnt get out of its own way. The Ravens fell to 2-2 and vowed to fix the communication errors which plagued the team for the first quarter of the season.

That loss to Cleveland on Sept. 29 was the teams last loss.

Wink (defensive coordinator Don Martindale) told us at the beginning of the week that this defense is 40 percent different than it was at the beginning of the season, Wormley said. So it just goes to show that our plan works, no matter who is in it.

With an injury to Michael Pierce, the Ravens relied upon Domata Peko and Justin Ellis, two defensive linemen who werent in the organization a week ago, to play crucial defensive snaps.

The Texans rushed for 6.1 yards a carry, but with the seven sacks, they were forced to play behind the chains for a majority of the day.

Its just what we do, Brandon Williams said. Its what we hang our hats on next man up. We've said it from the very beginning. Look, people get hurt, youve seen it. But, other people are coming in and balling out. We love to see that.

In three of the last four weeks, the Ravens have now earned victories over Russell Wilson, Tom Brady and Deshaun Watson. In none of those weeks have either quarterbacks scored more than 20 points against the Ravens.

While the offense hung 41 points, with a quarterback in Lamar Jackson seemingly gaining more MVP hype each day, Sunday was about the defense.

And while it may seem that the offense is the reason that has made the Ravens tick this season, its the defense which the Ravens will need most down the stretch. If Sunday is any indication, theyre going to be one of the toughest outs in the NFL.

Maybe theres no weak links? I dont know, Wormley said with a smile. We just talked about the offense started a little slow today, but our defense picked it up. When were beating these teams convincingly, especially these top teams in the NFL, its a good feeling.

Weight loss attempts are going up. Unfortunately, so is weight.

Despite a push in recent years toward a more body-positive cultural mindset, a new study found Americans are still increasingly pursuing weight loss, and to little avail.

Thestudy published this week in JAMA Network Open, found that while more US adults than ever before are attempting to lose weight, the nation continues to see overall increases in weight and BMI. The cross-sectional study examined trends in weight-loss attempts and strategies among 48,026 US adults between 1999 and 2016. The study ultimately found an increase in weight-loss attempts and strategies, despite a corresponding increase in weight.

The reported weight-loss methods included fairly standard tactics such as eating less, calorie restriction and exercise, as well as potentially more drastic strategies like skipped meals and laxatives. In examining these trends over the years, the study painted an interesting picture of cultural shifts that have taken place in recent decades when it comes to diet and weight-loss behaviors.

While nearly every method saw an increase in use from the first year of the study to the last, perhaps none is more significant than the leap in dieters attempting to lose weight by drinking more water. While only seven people reported drinking water for weight loss in 19992000, 1,370 said they tried the method in 20152016, which, as Vices Hannah Smothers pointed out, may reflect the influence of the catchall celebrity wellness advice to drink more water.

While the study didnt provide much explanation for the results it observed, researchers suggested people may be over-reporting their attempts to lose weight. Whether or not the reported increase in attempted weight loss is reflective of actual weight-loss efforts playing out across the country, the results reflect a nation increasingly stressed about body size despite recent cultural attempts to instill a more body-inclusive mindset.

Weight-Loss Attempts Are on the Rise. Why Aren't People Seeing Results? - InsideHook

There are plenty of controversial celebrities, and one of the relative newcomers is Bella Thorne. Thorne first attained fame through the Disney Channel but has since gone her own way and shes made her free-spirited attitude known. From releasing her own nude photos to getting involved in the adult film industry to creating provocative posts on Instagram, shes no stranger to fan backlash, either.

Thorne has made it clear shes unconcerned with the media hate, as shes branched out into the worlds of music, makeup, and filmmaking despite the negativity. While she certainly has plenty of fans who back up her endeavors, one of her Instagram promotions really missed the mark. Heres what she posted.

With over 20 million followers, Thorne has been posting her life to Instagram and attaining an audience for quite some time. But many of her artistic endeavors have missed the mark with her fans. In October, it was her Halloween makeup that startled her fan base. The star posted photos of her covered in makeup to make it look like her face was physically beaten, and many thought it was totally offensive to those in domestic violence situations.

Not only that, but other celebrities have called out Thorne, too. We cant forget when Whoopi Goldberg criticized Thorne for releasing nude photos to the public via Twitter. And when Thorne tweeted a complaint about traffic making her late for her boyfriends concert back in early 2018, Rob Lowe called her out since the traffic was a result of mudslides that killed at least 17 people.

This attitude is why people hate celebrities/Hollywood. Bella, Im sorry you were inconvenienced. We will try to move out our dead quicker, Lowe tweeted in response.

Aside from some of her more abrasive social media posts, Thornes partnerships are also causing an uproar. She took to Instagram to share a post of her in full workout gear doing a lower body challenge with no equipment. The top right corner of the post features the Flat Tummy logo, as thats the company Thornes paid to promote.

Thorne suggested to her followers in her Instagram caption that they should download the Flat Tummy App. I never have time to get on a real schedule but this is keeping me on track. Its got home workouts, meal plans, progress trackers.. EVERYTHINGG!! she wrote. You dont need expensive equipment or any of that stuff you just need this app.

Thorne is one of many influencers whos promoted Flat Tummy Co.s products. The Guardian explains the Kardashians, the Jenners, and hundreds of other celebs have all promoted the company, and Flat Tummy makes major money from Instagram, too. Unfortunately, the company uses its wellness brand to make cash off of womens physical insecurities and even ex-employees have spoken about how they wish they were never a part of it.

Thornes followers certainly arent happy with the post. A few called out that she had a naturally thin physique that clearly wasnt helped by the Flat Tummy App. And others were surprised to see Thorne in workout clothes since she appears to never workout otherwise.

One follower commented, i know you just want to get your coin but its not like youre on the brink of being homeless, i hope you actually use this app and please dont forget your morals.

Another wrote, I love your authenticity Bella but Im very disappointed with this.

And another added, disappointed youre promoting this tbh.

As stated before, Thorne is one of many promoters for this brand. While we hope she stops pushing weight loss products to her followers and instead pushes more authentic content, were not too surprised to see another celebrity give Flat Tummy Co. their attention.

Weight loss, particularly in the short term, is a simple case of calories in vs calories out. But once dieters start to hit the dreaded plateau, a more detailed approach is needed.

The time breakfast is eaten can impact on weight loss - so when is best?

Weight loss: The best time to eat breakfast to slim down and lose weight - Express

In January 2018, Quantel Thomas made the resolution to go to the gym and lose weight. And while this is a promise that plenty of people make to themselves, Quantel had good reason to start taking his health and fitness seriously. He weighed 284 pounds and was suffering "constant aches and pains": when he visited a doctor, he was informed he had a high risk of some serious health conditions. "They told me I was pre-diabetic," he says.

Quantel had been overweight for a long time, as far back as the age of eight or nine. He played football in high school, but after having a seizure in his freshman year, he quit playing sports, and that was when his weight gain really began: he was 300 pounds by the time he turned 18 years old.

In 2017, he was still gaining more weight each month, and so at the start of the new year, he resolved to go to the gym as often as possible, and his workout regime soon included training six days a week.

"I really wanted to just get out of that tunnel," he says, although there was another reason too: "At first, it was just for attracting females, I'm not gonna lie to you... Who wants to be with somebody who's not confident in themselves, think they're disgusting-looking, ugly... People don't like hearing negativity about themselves."

After one month, Quantel had already dropped from 284 pounds to 255 pounds. Within ten months, he was down to 180 pounds, having lost more than a third of his body weight.

In addition to reducing his body fat, Quantel has also been building strength through weights training (which has been scientifically linked to a reduced risk of diabetes). He can currently bench press 285 pounds, and deadlift up to 475 pounds. After his dramatic transformation, he now weighs in at 204 pounds as he continues to bulk up for his bodybuilding training. He is studying Exercise Science at college, and he intends to pursue a career as a personal trainer so he can help other people get "out of that tunnel" and feel better about themselves.

"To be able to love myself, that's the true, ultimate milestone achieved to this day," he says.

If youre aReal Housewives of New Jersey fan, you definitely remember the days when alumCaroline Manzo ruled supreme or at least went head-to-head withTeresa Giudice on the reg. Nowadays, though, shes been focusing on family and staying fit and healthy, which seems a lot more drama-free. The RHONJ original spoke withLife & Style exclusively about the secret behind her slim new look.

Pretty much a plant-based diet, the 58-year-old exclusively revealed on the red carpet for BravoCon: Bravo All Stars OG Housewives Edition on November 15. Fruits and vegetables and I walk about eight to 10 miles a day. It all started last January, according to the Bravo OG. Its been almost a year, she confirmed.

Her reason, though, might make you tear up a bit. My granddaughter, she said. Because you love em so much and I was playing with her one day and I said, I gotta be around long enough for her to remember me and to know how much I love her. So thats why I took everything and changed everything I did, the way I eat and live and everything else. For my baby.

But just because shes found a bit of zen by way of her new lifestyle doesnt mean shes entirely without an opinion on Teresas bombshell comments. Her former costar alleged that she might have been the catalyst in husbandJoe Giudices arrest during the Joe and Teresa: Unlocked tell-all interview with Bravo boss Andy Cohen.

Im not going to fight it. If thats what she believes, youre not going to change your mind. Its just, its so beyond ridiculous that its not even worth a comment to it, she explained, adding that the comments were bizarre and that the 47-year-old was grasping at straws.

Believe it or not, Carolines heard it before. She said it before, she continued. I heard she said it on a reunion a couple years ago and I havent responded. Ive never because thats how crazy it is. But then this time it was just so in your face and those are big words and you have to be responsible when you say things like that. Thats why I had to respond to it, because it was just irresponsible on her part.

Some things never change, huh?
