When the Miami Heat and the San Antonio Spurs made it to the NBA Finals (yet again), everybody was expecting another boring matchup between two pretty widely hated teams...or at least one widely hated team and another tolerated one.
But then, LeBron James had a leg cramp, and things got interesting.
In last night's Game 1 matchup, LeBron's leg cramped up on him and had to be literally carried off the court while wincing in pain.

There's a formula to Internet fame. When you make the proper combination of hot girls, cute kittens, memes, pop culture references, and Benedict Cumberbatch, you're bound to go viral.
Take this video for instance: "Kitten Jam" combines two adorable kittens with the mega-popular "Turn Down for What," a song that has a chorus that has become an anthem of sorts for those who want to party all night.

"Teen Wolf" is coming back soon! So here's a promo!
It's a creepy one, too...the 30-second spot shows us at least a couple of new monsters, including a scary-looking guy with no mouth, meaning that the number of different types of supernatural creatures in the "Teen Wolf" world is increasing.
Before you read on, or watch the promo, be warned that there are SPOILERS for the season three finale ahead!
If you'll remember, we last left Scott (Tyler Posey) dealing with the death of his love interest Allison (Crystal Reed).

We get it. Game shows can be stressful. The cameras are on, your adrenaline is pumping, and as a result you can lose your head a bit.
But this is really something else.
This week on "Wheel of Fortune," a contestant named Stephen gave an answer to a puzzle that has since gone viral, and may go down in history as one of the most perplexing answers even given on the show.

The man might not know how to pitch a baseball, but he can definitely spoof a movie.
50 Cent showed up on "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" this week, and Kimmel had a surprise for the audience. "You have a big, big film coming out very soon," Kimmel said to Fiddy, who responded, "Yeah, this one ain't going into no Redbox."
From there, Kimmel threw to a short sketch featuring 50 Cent as MaleFiftyCent, which is exactly what you think it is: Fiddy as the evil fairy queen from "Sleeping Beauty.

Isn't it everyone's dream to be murdered by George R. R. Martin?
The "Game of Thrones" author has an intriguing offer for fans: the chance to become a fictional character in the GoT universe, and to subsequently be fictionally killed off in a brutal fashion.
The offer comes as part of Martin's recent charity effort, which aims to raise money for both a local wolf sanctuary and food drive in Martin's native Santa Fe, New Mexico.

We're willing to bet that there are plenty of parents out there who wouldn't mind it if mega-hit boy band One Direction was banned. But Catholic priests?
Sure enough, a group of Catholic priests from the Philippines are starting a serious campaign to get One Direction banned in their country.
"Do not lead [the youth in] the wrong direction," said one of the priests in a forum in Manila.
