Sacramento Kings fans rejoice! It looks like your beloved basketball team is here to stay!

Adrienne Maloof's family, who owns the NBA franchise, had fans wondering whether or not they would be shipping the team to Seattle due to declining interest in the area. But Sacramento Mayor Kevin Johnson announced this afternoon that

For those of you who just can't get enough of Jason Collins, we have some GREAT news for you! There are TWO of him! Well, sort of…

Jason and his identical twin brother Jarron Collins had us seeing double when they made an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live to talk about the big guy's life since becoming the first openly gay player in a major U.S. men's sport!

But before the NBA center came out to the rest of the world, he says had to let his brother in on the news first. Although Jarron was a bit caught off guard at first, he says he has nothing but love for Jason:

"Oh come on, he's my twin brother. Of course I'm gonna be supportive of him all the time. That's just the way it is."

Awww! Nothing like a little brotherly love to warm our hearts!

Ch-ch-check out the rest of the clip (above)!

The big news has of course had a HUGE impact on Jason's life, but it's also affected Jarron as well. Mainly because he gets confused for his brother ALL the time!

We're just guessing here, but it might have something to do with the fact that they look EXACTLY the same! LOLz!

So to help avoid any confusion down the road, Jimmy brought a little gift for Jarron to make sure people know who's who!

See the HIGHlarious present for yourself …AFTER THE JUMP!!

Before we get into the romance and relaxation of a honeymoon with the love of your life, we have to wonder a little bit about why Michael Jordan is constantly wearing clothes that have tiny version of himself as the logo!

Sure, we bet he gets it for free, but he's not being athletic — so there's no need to wear all that athletic gear on your honeymoon!

LOLz!

Michael and his new wife Yvette spent most of their time shopping and walking around the island of Mykonos, until they decided to hop back on their giant yacht. They've been cruising the Mediterranean sea, basking in their new-found love!

It's pretty adorable, and we wish them all the luck in the world!

Have fun, guys!

Seriously, who ISN'T Dennis Rodman friends with??

Kendall and Kylie Jenner were at the Brea Mall to debut their new PacSun clothing line and sign some autographs when they got a surprise visit from the former wedding dress-wearing NBA superstar!

Dennis has been busy playing a foreign diplomat and making nice with his good pal Kim Jong Un, but it looks like he decided to take some time away from his new BFF and do a little shopping!

We're not quite sure what urged him to pay a visit the model sisters, but we're guessing there may have been a little confusion when he heard Kim's younger sisters would be at the mall! LOLz!

This. Is. AWESOME!!!

The Gay, Lesbian & Straight Education Network will be giving Jason Collins the Courage Award at the end of this month at the GLSEN Respect Awards for being the first openly gay, active athlete in the NBA, MLB, NFL, or NHL!

Executive Director Dr. Eliza Byard says they are THRILLED to be honoring Jason, saying:

This is just absolutely disgusting!

New York police are on the lookout for 8 Knicks fans who beat a gay couple while shouting homophobic slurs outside of Madison Square Garden Sunday afternoon!

Brooklyn natives Nick Porto and his boyfriend Kevin Atkins were walking hand-in-hand when they were assaulted by the group of men, leaving them with a broken nose and broken wrist.

Nick claims he was caught off guard by the hate crime, saying:

"I've never had a feeling like this before in the city. I didn't know that it's not over, that this sort of stuff still happens."

Police first said that finding the assailants would be difficult, but now they have gotten their hands on video footage (above) of the men in question and are asking anyone with information on the incident to call them IMMEDIATELY!

We are so upset to hear that people are capable of such disgusting acts and that hate crimes like this are STILL happening! Hopefully police are able to find the men who did this and bring them to justice.

Check out the video of the 8 suspects …AFTER THE JUMP.

Kelsey Williams is a badass that also happens to be an Oklahoma City Thunder cheerleader! First and foremost though, she's a badass!

She's very good at her job, and can raise spirits like a boss. So when a blogger said she was "too chunky," you best believe that Kelsey spoke up for herself and put that blogger on blast!

Here's what she said:
