“The Buzz” is all about the stories people are talking about and sharing on social media.

Cuban vs. Broussard

When you start a Twitter war with Mark Cuban, you best be prepared to swim with the sharks.
 
An ESPN reporter is facing off with the owner of the Dallas Mavericks after a business deal gone bad.
 
 
It all started when a verbal commitment from Clippers player DeAndre Jordan fell through and Cuban wasn’t able to sign him.

ESPN reporter Chris Broussard was quick to rub salt in the wound with his tweet that Cuban was “beside himself” and “begging” Jordan’s family for the player’s address so the two could meet up.
 
Cuban’s response?

Broussard should check his ethics.

The reporter then claims to have several sources to back him up.

Cuban then says he’ll put his money where the reporter’s mouth is.

If the reporter proves the Mavs owner was begging anyone, Cuban will donate $100 thousand to the charity of the reporter’s choice.

Schefter vs. Medical Leak

The hits for ESPN just keep on coming.

The sports giant is coming under fire because one of their “NFL Insiders” tweeted private medical information about a pro football player.
 
Reporter Adam Schefter broke the news of New York Giants player Jason Pierre-Paul having his right index finger amputated.
 
Pierre-Paul injured his hand on the 4th of July while handling fireworks.

Schefter tweeted a copy of part of a hospital medical chart where the player was being treated.
 
Social media is raging and it all comes down to privacy laws over protected health information.

Sources close to Pierre-Paul say he did not sign a consent form to release his records, which would then point to a member of the hospital staff leaking them.

The hospital quickly put out some tweets of its own, stating it takes patient privacy seriously and will aggressively investigate the alleged violation.

American Hating Doughnut Licker

Ariana Grande says she was upset about childhood obesity and that is why she licked the donuts and shouted she hates America…got that?
 
She tweeted that her remarks were taken completely out of context and that she’s proud to be an American.

You be the judge.
 
Ariana Grande: “What the **** is that? I hate Americans. I hate America.  That is disgusting.”
 
The singer, actress and what appears to be “disgruntled doughnut customer” has since apologized.

But now the doughnut shop was notified of a failed health inspection after officials saw the viral video released by TMZ.

They say the donuts should not be on the counter where customers can…well, lick them.
 
The doughnut shop and health inspectors aren’t the only ones upset by Grande’s antics.

Rob Lowe took to Twitter and “literally” told his followers her “childhood obesity excuse” was #LAME.

He says: “As my grandpa would say: “Yeah, sure. Pull the other leg, it plays jingle bells!”

An hour later, he followed it up with “Cannot wait for the new Arianna Grande/Dixie Chicks jam to drop! #IActuallyLoveAmerica.”
