Sports & Entertainment Spotlight

Welcome back to the Spotlight, boos and ghouls. On this Hallow’s Eve, the only thing scarier than brain-eating zombies is not having anything for said zombies to dine on. After all, as your mummy would say, “a brain is a terrible thing to waste.” Fortunately, I am leaving out a big bowl of knowledge treats and there is no limit per customer—witch, to be frank(enstein), is great news for those of you looking for your fill of sports and entertainment business updates on the web. Make no bones about it, you can count on it like Dracula. Hopefully, these light-hearted holiday puns won’t spook you off, and before long you’ll be gob(b)lin more down for Thanksgiving. For now, open up your bags and get a handful of what I have to offer below.

• • Gymnast/model Livvy Dunne turns a viral moment in which cameras captured her stress-sweating through her boyfriend Pittsburgh Pirates pitcher (and presumptive National League Cy Young award winner) Paul Skenes’ final outing of the season, from a stain into gold, as she endorses Secret Anti-perspirant. No sweat indeed.
  • Shadow Lion, the entertainment and marketing studio of Hall of Fame quarterback Tom Brady, gets a strategic investment from Brady’s current employer, Fox Sports—the same company that pays him $37.5 million per year. Talk about being outfoxed.
  • Legendary R&B singer Patti LaBelle enters a partnership with Primary Wave involving such hits from her music catalog as “Lady Marmalade.” Presumably the offer letter included the business version of the words, “vous le vous coucher avec moi?”
