Mike Tyson edible ears bring back bloody nostalgia

Mike Tyson is taking a bite out of the edibles business.

The heavyweight has launched "Mike Bites," an ear-shaped marijuana edible.

The gummy will even have a little bite mark on top, referring to his infamous boxing match with Evander Hollyfield in 1997.

Almost 25 years ago, Tyson bit Holyfield's ear during their matchup at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas.

Mike bites will only be available at California, Massachusetts, and Nevada dispensaries.

Ellen gives her shows end date

The final episode of the Ellen DeGeneres show will air on May 26, after 19 seasons.

In a statement, the 64-year-old talk show host said these final months would include several special guests.

A few of those include former First Lady Michelle Obama, Jennifer Garner, Channing Tatum, Serena Williams, Zac Efron, Adam Levine, David Letterman, and Ellens wife, Portia de Rossi.

The Ellen DeGeneres Show premiered on September 8, 2003 and has seen over 4,000 guests.

She announced last year that season 19 would be the final one.

Jussie Smollett released on bond while his lawyers appeal conviction

Jussie Smollett has been released from prison on bond while his lawyers appeal his conviction.

Last week, the 39-year-old actor was sentenced to five months in prison and $140 thousand in fines for staging a hate crime against himself.

His lawyers say they are concerned for his mental health and well-being.

During his sentencing last week, Smollet stated, “I am not suicidal. And if anything happens to me when I go in there, I did not do it to myself. And you must all know that.”

Before being released, Smollett was in the psychiatric ward at Cook County Jail.

Smollett has maintained his innocence.
