Overnight Briefing & General Reality Check - Nov 14, 2017

Idle gossip & unconfirmed rumors:

Who spends nearly $1 million on their daughter's Sweet 16 party?
That would be SHAQUILLE O'NEAL and his wife, SHAUNIE, who shelled out big bucks for their daughter, AMIRAH "Mimi" O'NEAL's, birthday party this past Saturday night.
TMZ.com reports the couple rented out the entire rooftop area of the W Hotel in Hollywood, and for entertainment, got rapper YG, who reportedly performed eight songs, including "Toot It And Boot It" and "Why You Always Hatin?"
And the birthday girl received a brand-new Mercedes-Benz G-Class SUV at the end of the evening (which goes for around $122-thousand dollars).

KEVIN SPACEY's new digs at The Meadows rehab facility ain't too shabby. RadarOnline.com reports guests get to stay in hacienda-style lodges that feature sunken granite baths with lots of swanky amenities, too. There's an Olympic-size pool, t'ai chi, yoga and art classes, as well as (wait for it...) horse-hugging therapy sessions.
Word is the disgraced actor is paying $37-thousand dollarsper-month for his treatment.(Lee)
