Taylor Swift may be one of the most wildly popular personalities lighting the internet on fire, but she’s not done yet, considering how her upcoming album reportedly spells ‘D-r-a-m-a’. As reports have it, The Life of a Showgirl, which will serve as the twelfth studio album in the billionaire’s records, appears to be her weapon to take a secret dig at Kanye West.

As sources close to the singer are now claiming to RadarOnline.com, this feels like a calculated nod and a quiet strike against the Bully rapper.

Taylor doesn’t waste moves,” said one source. “If there’s an opportunity to reclaim a narrative, she’ll take it.

Mariah Carey will be the 2025 recipient of the Video Vanguard Award, given out annually as part of the MTV Video Music Awards. The singer will also perform on the Sept. 7 telecast, which is airing on CBS for the first time.

Producers are promising a “show-stopping, career-spanning medley of her biggest hits” as part of the three-hour show.

Last year’s Video Vanguard recipient/performer was Katy Perry. The award has had a diva-heavy skew in recent years, with recipients in recent years also including Shakira, Nicki Minaj, Missy Elliott, Jennifer Lopez, Pink and Rihanna. The last time the Video Vanguard Award went to a male performer was when Kanye West picked it up in 2015.

Not surprisingly, just as Perry did last year, Carey has an album to promote that is due soon after the telecast — “Here for It All,” due out Sept. 26 on the Gamma label. Carey released the first single from the project,...

With less than two weeks to go before his trial on claims he sexually assaulted former Arista A&r executive Drew Dixon, music mogul Antonio “L.A.” Reid is effectively representing himself, a federal judge confirmed Tuesday during a status conference in the New York-based civil case.

At the end of the 30-minute video hearing, U.S. District Judge Jeannette A. Vargas referred to Reid as “pro se,” meaning a party moving forward without an attorney. The comment came after the judge granted a renewed request by Reid’s lawyers to be relieved “unconditionally.

Sean Diddy Combs allegedly has plans to make a comeback when it comes to music, but an industry insider says it’s a deluded plan. Diddy was found guilty on two out of the five charges brought against him, and he continues to remain in jail without bail. The rapper has filed motions against the ruling, but there’s a possibility that he could be sentenced to jail for three to four years.

Whatever might be the case, his lawyers have indicated several times that Diddy wants to make a musical comeback. However, a source told RadarOnline that Diddy is “totally deluded” if he thinks he can work with recording studios after his release from jail.

The source alleged that no one in the industry with a decent reputation would associate themselves with Diddy after his legal issues and other allegations that emerged in the past couple of years. The...

Kanye West, Caitlyn Jenner, and Arnold Schwarzenegger are not the only celebrities that have ran for a political office over the years!

Over the years, tons of stars – from athletes to actors and reality stars – have all run for some political office. Even a former Bachelor once ran for a seat in the House of Representatives!

While a lot of them didn’t get elected, a good amount of them did make it to office, and left pretty substantial legacy with their work.

Did you know that four stars have ran for president and that two of them actually won?!

Taylor Swift’s Albums Ranked Per Their Metacritic Score ( Photo Credit – Instagram )

Taylor Swift, one of the biggest pop sensations in the world, has announced the title of her next studio album, The Life of a Showgirl. Her twelfth studio album will be released on October 3, 2025, with standard and limited-time deluxe editions.

This is Taylor Swift’s first album release since the conclusion of her massively successful Eras tour from 2023 to 2024. This album is the latest in a long line of commercially and critically successful outings by the iconic pop star. Read on to learn more about Taylor Swift’s albums so far, ranked by Metacritic.

With The Life of a Showgirl arriving on October 3, it’s the perfect moment to revisit a fun corner of pop culture – every Taylor Swift song that tips its hat to Friends. The beloved NBC sitcom has left its mark everywhere, and Swift’s music is no exception. The singer has slipped in nods to the show’s most memorable lines, which makes perfect sense considering she once told Vogue she’s a huge Friends fan.

Back in 2015, during her 1989 World Tour stop in Los Angeles, she even invited Lisa Kudrow on stage for a delightfully off-key duet of “Smelly Cat,” Phoebe Buffay’s most famous number (as per Time). With her 12th album just days away, there’s no better time to celebrate every Friends moment that’s found its way into her songs.

Taylor Swift is undeniably one of the richest Hollywood celebrities right now. The 35-year-old Cruel Summer singer recently earned a spot on the 2025 Forbes richest celebrities list, with a reported net worth of $1.6 billion.

Her record-breaking Eras Tour, which lasted an incredible 21 months and covered 149 shows in 51 cities worldwide, solidified her status not just as a global superstar but also as a financial juggernaut in the entertainment world.

While Swift’s fortune comes primarily from music, only a handful of celebrities have managed to leverage their fame into even bigger financial empires through smart investments and business ventures.

Think of Vincent McMahon, whose Tko Group holdings, parent company of WWE and UFC, push his net worth to around $3.3 billion, or Michael Jordan, whose legendary basketball career combined with Nike endorsements, royalties from the Jordan brand, and stakes in various businesses has made him worth $3.5 billion.

Episode 3 of Outlander: Blood of My Blood is nearly upon us, and fans are already bracing for yet another chapter of forbidden love, clan power games, and centuries-crossed fates. The Starz prequel launched with a double premiere on August 8, airing every Friday at 8 p.m. Et. It brings two parallel romances to life: Brian Fraser and Ellen MacKenzie in 18th-century Scotland, and Henry Beauchamp and Julia Moriston during WWI.

In Episode 1, Ellen is caught between loyalty and love as her father’s death sparks a leadership battle between her brothers. Meanwhile, she and Brian, of opposing clans, fall for each other in secret. Jocasta’s lingering glance at Murtagh adds an extra twist to the already tense gathering. Episode 2 dives into 1917, where Henry, a war-worn soldier, and Julia, a suffragette with a steel spine and photographic memory, fall in love through wartime letters.

But when both are flung back to 1714 via Craigh na Dun,...

Kanye West was once a mentor to and frequent collaborator with Kid Cudi, but the “Pursuit of Happiness” rapper revealed that he cut West out of his life following several conflicts.

On CBS Mornings on Wednesday, Cudi explained that his and West’s relationship fizzled out. After he said the situation was “sad,” interviewer Anthony Mason asked him to clarify in “what way” the falling out disappointed him.

“The freedom that we experienced when we were creating, it just will never happen again, you know?” Cudi said. “And that is the heartbreaking side of things. But, hey, I had a lot of things in my life break my heart, and I’ve been able to survive and move past it.”

Mason then asked if West broke his “heart in some way” and Cudi admitted, “I think he has over and over, multiple times.”

Cudi went on to claim that West...

For years, Taylor Swift fans have heard snippets about “masters,” “Scooter Braun,” and “Taylor’s Version,” but many have been left wondering: what exactly happened? Thus, this is the complete story of how Swift lost, fought for, and ultimately reclaimed ownership of her first six albums.

The saga began in 2019 when Swift’s original record label, Big Machine Records, was sold to music executive Scooter Braun’s company, Ithaca Holdings, for $300 million. The deal included the “master recordings” of her debut through Reputation, the original versions of the songs you hear on streaming platforms, radio, and in movies.

Swift, who had already left the label, said she was never given a fair chance to buy them herself. Instead of quietly accepting the loss, she launched a bold and unprecedented re-recording campaign to make the originals less valuable. By May 2025, she struck a deal to buy the originals outright, ending the battle once and for all.

Taylor Swift is dusting off her stepping into a whole new era with her twelfth studio album, The Life of a Showgirl. This new album is landing on October 3, 2025. Fans have been buzzing ever since she dropped the news during a surprise chat on Travis and Jason Kelce’s New Heights podcast.

Not only did she confirm the release date, but she also teased what’s in store. There will be some upbeat tunes, some bright melodies, and lyrics so catchy they’ll probably stick in your head for days. But there’s a twist. Buried beneath all the shimmer, the album seems to carry a sly nod or maybe even a jab towards a familiar name from Swift’s past: Kanye West.

The buzz...

Kanye West snaps at Kim Kardashian and declares “I’m off my meds for five months now” in the new trailer for In Whose Name?, an upcoming documentary that provides a very private look at the rapper’s very public meltdown.

Director Nicolas Ballesteros and his camera tailed West for six years, accumulating over 3,000 hours of footage at a tumultuous time where the critically acclaimed Kanye transformed into the ever-controversial Ye.

“Then eighteen-year-old Nicolas Ballesteros is thrust into the eye of the storm that is Ye, a man building empires in music,...

For six years, Kanye West gave an aspiring director from Orange County unfettered access to his life, breakdowns and inner circle. The result of that can soon be seen on the big screen in the documentary In Whose Name?, which will be released by Amsi Entertainment in partnership with AMC, Regal and Cinemark on Sept. 19.

Ballesteros, who started shadowing the artist also known as Ye at 18, shot more than 3,000 hours of footage during some of West’s most tumultuous times as he struggled with mental health issues and a bipolar diagnosis, the breakdown of his marriage to Kim Kardashian, the crumbling of lucrative endorsement deals and a series of controversies over hate-filled public statements promoting antisemitic views, conspiracy theories and personal attacks on other artists and celebrities.

“I’m off my meds for five months now,” West says as the teaser opens, later adding, “I would rather be dead than be on medication.

Exclusive: When 18-year-old filmmaker Nico Ballesteros began capturing private moments of Kanye West – now known as Ye – he probably had no idea what he was in for. Over the ensuing six years he would shoot thousands of hours of material showing West’s apparent worsening mental health struggles, collapsing marriage to Kim Kardashian, loss of lucrative sponsorships, and disturbing declarations.

Ballesteros’s documentary In Whose Name? chronicling Ye’s inner world will be released by Amsi Entertainment on approximately 1,000 screens on September 19 in partnership with AMC, Regal, and Cinemark theater chains. We have your first look at the film in the teaser above.

“I’m off my meds for five months now,” West declares at the beginning of the teaser. An anguished Kardashian says in a breaking voice, “Your personality was not like this a few years ago!”

Taylor Swift knows what she’s getting into by joining boyfriend Travis Kelce and his brother Jason Kelce on their New Heights podcast. “You guys have a lot of male sports fans that listen your podcast,” the musician said in the latest preview for the episode set to premiere at 7 p.m. Est on Aug. 13. “And I think we all know that if there’s one thing that male sports fans want to see in their spaces and on their screens, it’s more of me.”

Don’t expect to hear about Pusha T and Kanye West reconnecting anytime soon. In a new Clipse interview with The Guardian on Thursday, Pusha was asked directly if he’d ever consider working with West again. His answer was clear.

“Yeah, that’s in the past,” Pusha told the publication. “That’s definitely in the past.”

The new comment from Pusha aligns with what he’s said of West in the last three years. Speaking to GQ alongside No Malice in June, Pusha spoke about their falling out and...

A confirmed report from The Hollywood Reporter tells us that Michael Bay has walked out of the production of the upcoming comedy/action movie Fast and Loose.

The movie, which is going to stream on Netflix upon release, is helmed by Will Smith and will talk about a mob boss who loses his memory in an accident. However, he slowly recovers his memories and recalls that he was actually leading a double life as a CIA operative.

THR previously reported that director David Leitch had also walked out of the production of Fast and Loose to start his work on The Fall Guy. Following Leitch’s exit, iconic director Michael Bay has also chosen to part ways with Will Smith over a “creative difference” between the two.

This isn’t the first time that Smith or Michael Bay have been in the news for walking out of a project. Will...

The most heavily censored character in South Park history is the Prophet Mohammad due to the controversies surrounding cartoons at that time. Unlike the show’s usual offensive satire, this censorship wasn’t the result of the network standard or viewers’ backlash. It was driven by threats of violence.

In 2010, South Park creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone attempted to feature the Prophet Muhammad in episodes titled 200 and 201. The episode makes statements about free speech and the double standards in the media (via Av Club). But after real-world death threats from extremist groups, Comedy Central censored the episodes. They bleeped dialogue, blocked visuals, and ultimately banned both episodes from streaming and reruns (via The Globe and Mail and ScreenRant).

The threat stemmed from the broader fallout of the Jyllands-Posten Prophet Muhammad cartoon controversy. First published in a Danish newspaper in 2005, the cartoons sparked global protests, embassy attacks, and multiple deaths.

Elon Musk’s journey from AI alarmist to AI evangelist has played out noisily on X/Twitter, but now the mercurial billionaire is touting the latest frontier for the technology: a rapid video generation tool that is being used to create deepfake nudes of celebrities.

Grok Imagine was rolled out this week to Apple users and has gone “hyperviral,” with more than 34M images generated in the space of 48 hours, according to Musk. Available through a $30 SuperGrok subscription, users type a text prompt, creating a still image almost instantly. These images can then be turned into a short video using four presets: “Custom,” “Normal,” “Fun,” and “Spicy.”

Of the four, “Spicy” mode quickly garnered attention, turning seemingly innocuous image prompts into lewd snippets. Unlike other generative AI video tools that block celebrity text prompts, Grok Imagine has allowed users to imagine some of the most famous women on the planet in a state of undress.

Bianca Censori was an entirely different person before meeting Kanye and it has left everyone wondering, did the change come after the relationship? TMZ has released new pictures of the celebrity from back in 2021 and she had a totally different look.

Before she was turning heads in sheer tights and headline-making fits, Bianca Censori was rocking a whole different vibe and honestly, it’s kinda wild to look back. In these newly resurfaced 2021 pics, she’s all long brunette hair, natural glam, and chill, model-off-duty energy. Think clean lines, covered up, and effortlessly cool.

Fast forward to now? She’s basically Yeezy’s muse in Nsfw couture, making every sidewalk a viral fashion moment. The glow-up (or switch-up?) is so major, fans can’t stop asking, Is this the same person?

Kanye West’s lesser-known role as an executive producer on Honor Up, a flop feature now streaming on Peacock, makes you question why he signed up for it in the first place. As eccentric and controversial as he is, the rapper was once known for his business acumen.

His widespread success suggested that West knows how to build a brand and make the right investments. And even though the 2018 crime action movie, directed and headlined by Damon Dash, seemed like a hip-hop cult classic in the making, it was simply a burning disaster. So, let’s look at its critical reception and everything that went terribly wrong with the movie.

Honor Up is set in Harlem, and it features shootouts and a street code philosophy. But the movie flopped in every way possible.

To paraphrase a certain pioneering rock band, there’s been a whole lotta Labi in the culture over the last few years.

Long a cult figure best known for cover versions of his songs by the way-different likes of Kenny Rogers and Madness, Labi Siffre has lately undergone a Nick Drake-like moment. Two years ago, the British-born singer-songwriter’s Seventies ballad “Crying Laughing Loving Lying” was prominently heard on the soundtrack of The Holdovers, the Oscar-nominated Alexander Payne film that helped introduce Siffre’s songs to a new generation.

Duke Dennis was recently arrested at a local mall in San Antonio, Texas, late at night on Saturday, August 2. The popular content creator is famous for his Twitch streams and prominent position in the content group Amp (Any Means Possible) since day one.

In a video that has since been going viral on the internet of the arrest, the YouTuber was seen sitting handcuffed on the floor while surrounded by cops (see the @theneighbourhoodtalk handle’s post on Instagram). But as severe as the news about his being currently behind bars sounds, the reason behind his arrest could have just anyone gawking at the news.

A former Yeezy staffer who says Kanye West subjected her to a “calculated campaign” of antisemitic and sexual harassment says she was forced to spend nearly $100,000 in legal fees fighting his failed attempt to dismiss her lawsuit – and he should be on the hook for the full amount.

The marketing specialist, who sued in February as a Jane Doe, claims her turbulent tenure working for Yeezy in late 2023 and 2024 was filled with verbal abuse, discrimination, and “constant degradation of women.” She claims West, also known as Ye, sent her harassing texts reading,...

Kim Kardashian is giving fans a look at some sweet tooth fairy moments with her kids!

On Sunday (August 3), the 44-year-old reality TV star shared a series of Instagram photos featuring her children Saint, 9, North, 12, Chicago, 7, and Psalm, 6.

In the first photo, Kim smiled alongside Saint as he showed off a missing front tooth and another about to fall out while they appeared to be at one of his sports games.

Kim Kardashian and Jennifer Lopez go way back, and fans know they are friends from their pics together on several red carpets. Kardashian was one of her first friends who came to her support when she split from Ben Affleck last year. Earlier this year, a source told InTouch Weekly that Kardashian was rooting for her to get back into the dating scene.

The source shared that ever since Lopez’s divorce, Kardashian had stepped up to become her biggest cheerleader and stylist. The source shared with the outlet:

Kim has been a huge source of support for J. Lo ever since she split from Ben [Affleck]. She’s really stepped up to the plate and been not only a shoulder to cry on, but also a bona fide cheerleader and a stylist, too.

If the source is true and Kardashian has been styling Lopez for these last few months, it...

Larsa Pippen is sharing an update on where she stands with Kim Kardashian.

If you didn’t know, it was rumored that the 44-year-old The Kardashians star and the 51-year-old Real Housewives of Miami star were feuding back in July 2020 after fans noticed Kim and her sisters Kourtney and Khloe were no longer following Larsa on Instagram.

Larsa later revealed Kim‘s then-husband Kanye West was a reason behind their falling out. In December 2021, over a year after that happened, Larsa said she and Kim were “in a good place.”

In a new interview, Larsa revealed if Kim is still the godmother to her 16-year-old daughter Sophia even though they aren’t friends anymore.

The demise of E! News, which will air its final TV broadcast on Sept. 25, marks the latest nail in cable TV’s coffin.

But for a generation raised on the daily cable show’s addictive formula of breaking Hollywood headlines and marathon red carpet remotes, it signifies something much more: It’s the end of a golden age for celebrity news.

“Things are sadly just so different these days, because of how television has shifted,” notes Jason Kennedy, 43, one of E! News’ longest tenured anchors, having shared the desk with Giuliana Rancic from 2012 to 2019. “Not a lot of people come home and watch news anymore, especially on cable, because they can get it on social media.”

Like MTV News before it, which shuttered in 2023, E! News now stands as a crumbled monument to a monolithic media culture, felled by the rise of algorithms and smartphones.

Launched in 1991, its innovation was...

In what other world could you see Marilyn Manson pull out Charles Manson’s skeleton or Mariah Carrey sing to a pitch that makes Jim Carrey’s head explode other than through glorious claymation? That’s right – it’s Celebrity Deathmatch, which pitted “rivals” against one another to see who came out the survivor. But could the show itself survive in 2025? Creator Eric Fogel thinks so.

Celebrity Deathmatch has been off the air for nearly 20 years – and even longer without Fogel, who wasn’t involved with the revival, which kicked off with Paris Hilton vs. Nicole Richie – yes, the show is very much of its time. And it’s that sort of element that Fogel thinks could make it ripe for a new generation. “That’s the beauty of the show — it’s timeless. These matches are iconic. You could literally open Google and type a few words, and you...

While many shows from the past have been making comebacks with reboots and revivals, Celebrity Deathmatch is one that still has yet to make a return to the small screen. If you ask creator Eric Fogel, the time is now, as he believes Celebrity Deathmatch could be bigger than ever before in 2025.

Per People, Fogel reflected on creating Celebrity Deathmatch in a new interview, 28 years after he first pitched the series to MTV. He explained how he grew up as a fan of stop-motion animation, particularly Ray Harryhausen movies, along with other claymation TV shows of the era. As an adult, he started to see the potential in doing something with stop-motion animation, but with more of a rough edge.

"As I grew older, I became aware that there was maybe a market for a more adult animated content, and I thought that stop-motion animation in that adult space felt like unmarked territory,...

As Y2K nostalgia continues to dominate elements of Hollywood, one pop culture sensation of the era could make a comeback.

Following “a few false starts” over the years, Celebrity Deathmatch creator Eric Fogel recently discussed the possibility of rebooting his claymation series that originally ran on MTV from 1998 to 2002.

“That’s the beauty of the show — it’s timeless. These matches are iconic,” he told People. “You could literally open Google and type a few words, and you’ll get a whole bunch of new Celebrity Deathmatch ideas. It’s an evergreen concept.

“I was just browsing this morning. Dwayne Johnson and Vin Diesel hate each other. You know, Will Smith and Chris Rock probably still hate each other? Taylor Swift and Kanye West is still a match I’d like to visit in the ring. It feels like there are still some unresolved issues there.”

Fogel continued, “It’s such a fertile,...

Micheal Ward, the widely famed fan-beloved Top Boy star, is currently facing some seriously career-threatening allegations. As the latest reports have it, he has been charged with r-pe.

The world is in a state of shock ever since it was announced that Ozzy Osbourne, aka the ‘Prince of Darkness’, met his end on July 22, 2025. He was 76. The singer redefined the heavy metal genre and wasted no time in becoming a cultural icon who would go on to rule the industry for generations.

Since the news of his passing, previous comments made by none other than his wife, Sharon, are resurfacing on social media. These comments in question are about the couple’s plans to go through assisted s*icide if things get unbearable due to an illness.

As per MedicalNewsToday, euthanasia is when a doctor is allowed by law to end a person’s life painlessly, with the consent of the patient and their family. On the other hand, assisted s*icide refers to a situation in which a doctor assists the patient in ending their own life,...

Ozzy Osbourne, the legendary singer-songwriter and media personality, has succumbed to death’s calling. The former lead singer of the heavy metal band Black Sabbath was reported to have passed away on the morning of 22 July 2025, at 76. But his death came after a long history of severe medical conditions following the Goat around, including Parkinson’s disease.

Notably enough, only a few weeks ago, he had reunited with his bandmates and performed a huge farewell Back to the Beginning concert on July 5, having announced that this would be his last live performance. Nonetheless, as his demise marks a tragic loss for the industry, here’s a deeper dive into the medical conditions he was battling in the years prior to his death.

Can you believe, it’s been 30 years since Amy Heckerling’s loose adaptation of Jane Austen’s novel Emma, under a film titled Clueless first hit theaters? Yes, the iconic teen comedy that redefined the ’90s is officially three decades old, and the cast that gave us Cher’s charm, Dionne’s sass, and Josh’s laid-back wisdom have all gone on very different journeys.

From red carpets to real-life activism, courtroom controversies to Marvel movie fame, the Clueless cast evolved into legends and left us inspired well into the 2020s. So today, let’s take a look at where each of the titular actors of this 1995 comedy are. From Alicia Silverstone to Paul Rudd and even stars like Donald Faison, Stacey Dash, and Breckin Meyer—let’s take a look at all.

Sean Combs may be awaiting sentencing on federal charges, but according to recent news, his music career isn’t waiting for parole. In a surprising new update in the Diddy case, the rapper is allegedly working on new music from behind bars, and he’s teaming up with none other than Kanye West, aka Ye. Who, by the way, has been a constant supporter of the artist in an industry where most people have turned away from him.

Industry insiders and leaked audio snippets suggest that Diddy and West are already deep into the creative process. One such leak, reportedly recorded via jailhouse call, hints that a track or even an entire joint project could be underway. While it might sound outlandish, jail-recorded music isn’t a first. Tory Lanez did it recently, with his prison album, Peterson. And with celebrities often granted more flexibility, it’s far from impossible.

Meek Mill has been yet another name embroiled in the controversies surrounding Sean Combs, though his case file doesn’t seem to have much evidence against him. For one, he was speculated to be the rapper that the now-disgraced music mogul allegedly was intimate with, in a lawsuit filed in early 2024 by music producer Rodney ‘Lil Rod’ Jones against Diddy.

While the suit itself accused the I’ll Be Missing You singer of s-xual assault and harassment, it also put forward the accusation that a particular rapper allegedly had s-x with Combs. The footnote of the same had it that the redacted name was of “a Philadelphia rapper who dated Nicki Minaj.” (See full details of the lawsuit here.)

Since Mill was born and raised in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and is one of the rappers who have formerly dated Nicki Minaj (from 2015 to 2017), it didn’t take long for him to...

“I don’t know him anymore,” Scooter said during the episode.

In reference to Kanye‘s recent antisemitic social media posts, Scooter said, “I think the person that I knew wasn’t someone who says those things. Sometimes the hardest thing to do with someone you care about is mourn them while they’re still here. The person that I knew is not the person that I’m seeing, so I don’t have a relationship anymore.”

When asked if Kanye could potentially be redeemed and return to the person that Scooter had known, he reiterated that he didn’t know Kanye and said,...

Sean Diddy Combs wasn’t the kind of celebrity that others would like to associate with during the past few months. He was on trial for five counts of serious charges, and people previously close to him were put under the lens of public scrutiny. Kanye West didn’t care as he continued to show his support for the disgraced rap mogul.

West arrived at the Daniel Patrick Moynihan Courthouse on June 13, 2025, when the trial was still ongoing and showed his support for Diddy. When asked about his appearance, West confirmed to ABC News that he was there to support the Bad Boy CEO.

A source has claimed that Diddy and West could help each other to ascend to the top of Hollywood ranks. The source shared that they consider each other as blood brothers and hope to rule Hollywood together. The source told Globe (via Yahoo!):

Diddy is...

On June 24, it was announced that comedian Shane Gillis would be hosting this year’s Excellence in Sports Performance Yearly Awards. The news was met with some excitement among fans, but when he walked onto the stage at the Dolby Theater in Los Angeles, things changed.

Unfortunately, Gillis’ jokes seem to have fallen flat as he struggled through his long monologue where he took a dig at anyone and everyone. From Donald Trump to basketball player Caitlin Clark, Gillis spared no one.

While he received a few laughs here and there, the audience present at the venue just seemed a little too uncomfortable and this didn’t go unnoticed by the comedian himself.

Hosting an award ceremony comes with certain expectations and jokes at the expense of famous names are pretty common.

Attendees of Kanye West’s latest live performance demanded a refund for what many have dubbed the “worst concert ever.”

On July 11, Shanghai Stadium was filled with 70,000 eager concert-goers, excited for West’s trademark high-energy performance after waiting hours in line to see him. However, the rapper showed up over 40 minutes late, and his show was marred by numerous technical problems that forced the DJ to restart multiple songs. Several people also alleged that West was lip-syncing to multiple songs on stage. A now-viral video on X shows an angry, disappointed audience chanting for a refund.

Tickets to the show cost between 980 and 2,689 yuan (roughly $137 to $374). The event promoter, StellarAmber Group, posted an explanation on China’s social media platform Sina Weibo, claiming that West’s late arrival and the technical issues were due to heavy rainfall around the time of the concert, which didn’t allow for proper setup according to West’s specifications.

Sean Combs’ aka Diddy’s future remains uncertain, but the possibility of his release in 2025 is no longer far-fetched. Following his conviction on two counts related to the Mann Act, transporting a prostitute across state lines, Diddy faces up to four years in prison. However, legal experts now believe he may serve closer to 15 to 21 months, especially given his proactive rehabilitation efforts.

Diddy’s participation in two federal prison programs, one addressing substance abuse and the other focused on domestic violence, demonstrates what former prosecutor Neama Rahmani called “Lawyering 101.”

By voluntarily enrolling in the Stop Program (targeting s-xual assault and violent behavior) and the Dr. Harry K. Wexler substance abuse program, Diddy is signaling to the court that he is taking personal accountability for his actions. These rehabilitative steps may help Judge Arun Subramanian, who previously denied his bail, view him as a lower risk.

Moreover, Diddy was acquitted of...

The weekend of July 4 was relatively stacked with hip-hop releases from stars who have been beloved in the genre for years, but data from Luminate and Billboard reveal that few of them made the kind of impact they’d once been capable of. Drake fired shots at fake friends on “What Did I Miss?”, Asap Rocky dropped “Pray4DaGang,” singer Brent Faiyaz played the roles of “Peter Pan” and “Tony Soprano” with a double single release, Logic produced his own single “The Adventures of Cocaine Larry,” and Chance The Rapper...
