Bruce Jenner name-change problem for Texas residents

Residents in Austin, Texas are wondering if their Bruce Jenner street signs might be getting a little alteration of their own pretty soon.

Homeowners on Bruce Jenner Lane in the Olympic Heights neighborhood have begun discussing over whether the name of their street will change to Caitlyn Jenner after the Olympic gold medalist revealed her new look on the cover of Vanity Fair on Monday.

“We just hope that someone is smart enough to realize all the trouble it’s going to cause for regular people if you change the name,” homeowner Ray Briggs told KVUE News.

“It might get a little confusing,” another neighbor added.

But everyone seemed generally supportive of the former male athlete's switch to Caitlyn.

“Should we put both of them there? Tape one underneath it?” Briggs laughed. “I thought about doing it myself.”

The City of Austin has a protocol for any requests to change a street name. And at least half of the residents on the street must approve the change as well as city council.

And it might have been worse. Instead of a lane — it could have been a cul-de-sac.

J.R. Smith calls Caitlyn Jenner 'that science project'

It seems J.R. Smith has yet to grasp this whole social media thing without creating a little controversy. Even when the Cleveland Cavaliers guard uses his thumbs to publicize good works, he still finds a way to stick his foot in his mouth.

Smith, who will play in game 1 of the NBA Finals on Thursday,  deleted a meme referring to Caitlyn Jenner as "that science project" on his Instagram shortly after posting it Wednesday.

"Shout out to Akon !" the image reads. "He is about to supply 600 million africans with solar power. Im really upset that this isnt major news but that science project bruce jenner is #Society"

Smith reposted the image with his own caption: "Hmmm... what's more important?"

The meme — which is a part of a trend where people compare Jenner to another news story as a way of ridiculing her gender change — compared Jenner with singer Akon's solar power initiative in Africa.

Tweets coming back to haunt Smith are nothing new to the oft-troubled player — especially during the playoffs.  In 2012, Smith was fined $25,000 for posting a picture of a woman in his bed wearing a thong.
