Kanye West asked Mark Zuckerberg for $1 billion on Twitter

One of the more surprising threads to emerge from Kanye West's messy release of The Life of Pablo involves his personal finances. If you believe the celebrated rapper, he owes a serious chunk of change: before hitting the Saturday Night Live stage over the weekend, he tweeted that he's carrying $53 million in debt. It's a huge sum, one that seems impossible when you consider his sales success and his family's lucrative reality show and businesses. (Then again, renting Madison Square Garden and filling it with over a thousand models clad in your clothing line can't be cheap.)

West ran with the idea on Sunday afternoon by asking one of Silicon Valley's richest young men to lend a hand with an investment:

Aaron Gordon Puts on a Show with Stuff the Magic Dragon in Slam Dunk Contest

Orlando Magic sophomore power forward Aaron Gordoncalled on his friend Stuff the Magic Dragon for the NBA Slam Dunk Contest on Saturday night in Toronto to build a strong case against the defending champion, Zach LaVine.

In the end, Gordon couldn't top LaVine, but he put on a show for the ages.

The 20-year-old took flight over the Orlando mascot to throw down an incredible between-the-legs dunk, as seen above, then followed it up with two particularly spectacular slams.

There was this perfect-score gem, which he scooped up from Stuff while in a seated position before threading the ball behind his ankles to bring it home:

Antonin Scalia, Supreme Court justice, dies at 79

(CNN)U.S. Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia, the leading conservative voice on the high court, has died at the age of 79, a government source and a family friend told CNN on Saturday.

His death set off an immediate debate about whether President Barack Obama should fill the seat in an election year. Obama said Saturday night that he plans to nominate a replacement, but Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said the nomination should wait until the next president comes into office while top Democrat Harry Reid called for the seat to be filled "right away."

Scalia died in his sleep during a visit to Texas. A government official said Scalia went to bed Friday night and told friends he wasn't feeling well. He didn't get up for breakfast on Saturday morning, and the group he was with for a hunting trip left without him.

Someone at the ranch went in to check on him and found him unresponsive.

The U.S. Marshals Service is helping to arrange for his body to be returned to his home in McLean, Virginia, an official told CNN, not to investigate his death.

They were already present because marshals sometimes help supplement security for traveling justices.

Drew Gordon smashes phone, calls out Shaq after brother Aaron loses contest

In a promo video that aired just before he took the court to compete in the dunk contest, Aaron Gordon admitted that his desire to become an elite dunker grew from getting dunked on repeatedly as a kid by his older brother Drew.

The elder Gordon, who briefly spent time with the 76ers and now plays in France's top league, proved there's no hard feelings now that he's not the presumed best dunker in the family after Aaron narrowly lost to Zach LaVine in Saturday night's dunk contest.

LaVine and Gordon wage epic battle in dunk contest

TORONTO (AP) — Zach LaVine was fresh out of dunks, having been pushed to the limits by Aaron Gordon in an epic final round that put the slam dunk contest back on top at All-Star Saturday night.

In need of some magic, he reached deep down into his repertoire and found just enough left for one more go.

"We were looking in our bag of tricks. Ain't nothing left," LaVine said. "I just found a little piece of dust."

LaVine pulled off a between-the-legs dunk from the free throw line on the second tie-breaker to take home his second straight dunk contest trophy, becoming just the fourth player to pull off that feat.

The Minnesota Timberwolves guard had never tried the dunk before. Not in practice. Not at that playgrounds back home in Seattle. But he had already used all four of the dunks he planned to do when fellow contestant Will Barton told him to try it.

He pulled it off, putting an emphatic punctuation on a contest that instantly drew comparisons to the showdown betweenMichael Jordan and Dominique Wilkins in 1988.

With the help of nutritionist and author Amelia Freer, the 23-year old Smith, who admits he is a huge foodie, has lost a significant amount of weight in a short amount of time, nearly "3 stones" (as they say in his homeland), or around 50 pounds.

The British singer, who just won his first Golden Globe last month for the Spectresong "Writing's on the Wall" and is now nominated for an Oscar, has opened up about the motivation behind his drastic weight loss, and it sounds as though he's loving his new body.
