We're kinda surprised that Prince Harry even knows how to play baseball, as it's totally outside the realm of polo and and quail hunting!

LOLz! We kid, we kid — he's a modern Prince, and of course he knows how to throw down on the diamond! He even hit a HOME RUN!

It was even on his first score, and he was wearing a damn suit! He was wearing the hell out of it, by the way. We're surprised the ball didn't just fly out of the park on its own, intimidating by how handsome the Prince was! Ha!

He wasn't just there to play some ball, though. He was visiting Project Coach, a community sports project in East Harlem that is working with the Prince’s Royal Foundation.

So fab fab fab!

Another one bites the dust!

After a slew of beloved NBC shows were cut from the upcoming 2013-2014 TV season, the network has sharpened their ax once again.

Their next victim?

Carolyn Moos was once engaged to NBA star Jason Collins — and even she only found out that he was gay just LAST WEEKEND!

She had no idea during their relationship at all!

Carolyn played a few seasons in the WNBA, and dated Jason for seven years! They were even engaged until they broke up in 2009 because Jason canceled their wedding! She never once thought he was gay!

When he talked to her last weekend, he wanted to let her know that his sexuality was the reason for ending their relationship — which he should have told her much earlier, because she has spent YEARS not understanding what went wrong! Plus that was almost a decade of being together!

Here's what she said:

Now THIS is exactly what we like to hear!

While Snoop Dogg Lion has always been vocal in his support of the LGBT community, he recently raised some eyebrows during a recent interview by offering a very limited perspective on the possibility of homosexuality being accepted by the rap and hip-hop community!

However, it appears that the Reincarnated version of Bob Marley has re-evaluated his perspective on the matter, and in a new interview, now asserts that with the continuous merging of so many genres in the music world, as well as the political and cultural progression toward acceptance and unity, there may very well be openly gay rappers and hip-hop artists much sooner than later!

As he explains:

HELL YES!!!

We've been waiting and hearing rumblings of gay athletes preparing to come out in a number of professional male sports here in America! Finally, we have one! We're happy to present Jason Collins: NBA center and proudly open gay man! This is a BIG moment for LGBT athletes in Men's Sports!

Are you even ready for this incredibly historic event?? The only answer to that is a resounding 'YES!' Here's what Jason personally wrote for Sports Illustrated — the publication and platform for his reveal:

No matter how you slice it, it was a big deal when Earvin Johnson III publicly came out of the closet!

It was important not only on a personal level for E.J., but on his community and family! Especially with how huge Magic (his father) is in the black community, church, and professional sports! It was incredible to see his unfiltered support for his son!

Now, he's opening up about it all in a new interview! Here's what he had to say:

When EJ publicly came out as gay (adorably holding his boyfriend's hand while walking down the street), a lot of people wondered how Magic Johnson would react — and he reacted flawlessly!

If you think about it though, you begin to realize that this isn't just about EJ coming out (though that's the majority of it, and nobody can take that from him!), but also what it does for the black community AND the sports community tied up in their high-profile lives! And guess what? For Magic, it should all be positive regardless if there are a few nay-sayers! He then opened up about how he's supportive of it all!

It all started when EJ was 13.
