The third week of Sean Combs’ sex trafficking and racketeering criminal trial brought three crucial witnesses for the prosecution to the stand: former staffers who all claim they not only witnessed Combs attack Casandra “Cassie” Ventura but that they were subjected to a range of abuse themselves while trying to protect her from the unpredictable and volatile hip-hop mogul.

Their testimonies help corroborate Ventura’s accusations of physical abuse against Combs, who is accused of keeping the R&b singer trapped in an abusive dynamic through physical force,...

Justin Bieber denied online rumors that he was abused by Sean Combs in his first public statement since Combs was arrested for sex-trafficking and racketeering.

With Combs’ trial underway this week in New York, Bieber’s rep released a statement Friday in part due to the many rumors that have propagated since Combs’ arrest that alluded to Bieber being an abuse victim of Combs.

“Although Justin is not among Sean Combs’ victims, there are individuals who were genuinely harmed by him,” the rep said in a statement to People. “Shifting...

Making the Band contestant Sara Rivers has filed a new $60 million lawsuit against Sean “Diddy” Combs, alleging the mogul sexually harassed her and stroked her breasts during filming of the hit MTV reality show.

Ke Huy Quan seemingly has his next film lined up, and his next role is just as different as anything he's done up to this point, in keeping with the varied roles the actor has taken since his resurgence in fame following his award-winning performance in Everything Everywhere All At Once. In an exclusive news report from Deadline, Huy Quan's next big film will be a horror movie titled Bad Boy, with a premise that follows most of the well-known tropes in the genre, albeit from an unconventional perspective. Here is a synopsis for the film:

“Gary is a good boy who loves his new owner, Cameron (Ke Huy Quan). He gets treats and belly rubs and life is great. Gary isn’t allowed in the basement though. And even if he was, he can’t unlock doors. But there’s a girl (Lili Reinhart) in the basement. And she...

Hollywood definitely loves a good scandal, doesn’t it? 2024 has been a year that has taken the drama to levels that even the boldest screenwriters wouldn’t dare script. This year has been a wild ride of jaw-dropping allegations, reputations unraveling faster than a celebrity marriage in Vegas, and public meltdowns.

The entertainment industry has found itself in the eye of a storm, with controversies that are not just messy but outright explosive. From the disturbing accusations at music mogul Sean Diddy to the surprising backlash aimed at Blake Lively, the stories that have dominated headlines feel more like plotlines from a dark, twisty HBO series than real life.

Before the controversial life of the Grammy-winning rapper behind the doors was unraveled, with the constant lawsuits and numerous allegations against him, one name that consistently emerged as a voice of caution was the talk show host Wendy Williams.

Known for her candid commentary, Williams has a long history of calling attention to the rapper’s actions, whether addressing her abrupt firing from Hot 97 radio or sharing her critiquing his long relationship with Cassie Ventura.

Wendy Williams Alleged Diddy Had Her Fired From Hot 97

Wendy Williams, who was diagnosed with dementia in 2023 has now been declared “cognitively impaired and permanently incapacitated” by her legal guardian Sabrina Morrissey.

Williams has been known for her bold and often controversial commentary, including her strained relationship with music mogul Sean Combs, aka P. Diddy, which dates back to her time on the popular Hot 97 radio show.

Conspiracy theories, no matter how wild, have taken the internet by storm ever since the allegations against Diddy came to light. Beyoncé and Jay-Z are now caught in the crossfire, accused of allegedly teaming up with him to “terrorize” the music industry.

The more outrageous the claim, the faster it spreads online, and now Diddy’s former bodyguard’s comments are adding even more fuel to the frenzy.

Diddy’s Former Bodyguard Ron Smith’s Claims About Beyoncé

The world is in on the joke, with everyone thanking Beyoncé for staying on her good side, or so the meme goes. The “Thank you, Beyoncé” trend has two sides. On one hand, it’s tied to wild conspiracy theories linking her and Jay-Z to Diddy’s controversies, despite zero evidence.

With music mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs in prison following his September arrest, rumors are starting to spread concerning one of his bodyguards, Ron Smith. Also known as “Uncle Ron,” the bodyguard had passed away back in September. Since then, some fans have been alleging a conspiracy concerning his death.

‘Uncle Ron’ Released A Video Concerning Bigge Smalls

In addition to his work as a bodyguard, “Uncle Ron” served as something of a TikTok personality. Tragically, Smith passed away this past September.

A video had been released on Smith’s Tik Tok channel announcing his passing, shared by his wife Evelyn. It read, “I would like to inform everyone on [Tik Tok] of my husband passing. Uncle Ron will always be remembered & [loved].”

The post, which was shared on September 13, continued, “If you can help with donations towards his funeral service, it would be deeply appreciated. Thanks, his wife, Evelyn.

Back in the late 90s, Sean ‘P. Diddy’ Combs attended an after-party with The Notorious ‘Biggie’ B.I.G., where the latter was shot and killed in a drive-by shooting. Years later, the hip-hop mogul’s bodyguard Uncle Ron, whose real name is Ron Smith, opened up about the conspiracy behind Biggie’s tragic demise.

Claiming that Jay-Z and P. Diddy were the co-conspirators behind The Notorious ‘Biggie’ B.I.G.’s demise, Uncle Ron took the internet by storm. But surprisingly, within 24 hours of making the tell-all video about the two infamous rappers, Diddy’s bodyguard mysteriously passed away, making his claims all the more intriguing for netizens.

The past is never dead; in fact, it’s often lurking just around the corner. Pop sensation Justin Bieber appears to be feeling the weight of history hanging over his shoulders. In the aftermath of Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs’ arrest on grave charges, familiar specters from Bieber’s past are reportedly coming back to haunt him. Per reports, these recent waves of controversy have caused the Baby singer to withdraw from his usual close-knit circle.

Known for chart-toppers and high-profile relationships, his life has certainly hit its fair share of highs & lows, leaving onlookers keenly aware of the pressures he faces—not just from the outside world, but from within.

Also, rumor has it that if Diddy’s alleged “freak-off parties” take the spotlight in the trial, a slew of A-listers might find themselves in hot water, poised...

Wendy Williams is providing a rare public statement.

Amid a court-ordered guardianship due to a primary progressive aphasia and frontotemporal dementia diagnosis, the former Wendy Williams Show host spoke out about the allegations against Sean “Diddy” Combs, who was charged with several federal crimes, including sex trafficking, racketeering and transportation to engage in prostitution.

In a statement to The Daily Mail, she noted: “What is really weird is that I have been told by so many people, ‘Wendy, you called it.’ Including some people from my family who have said the same.”

While letting people know she’s “doing good,” she went on to say: “You know how I feel about that? It is about time. To see this video on TV of [Cassie] getting pummeled… it was just horrific. But now you have to think, how many more times? How many people? How many more women?...

Diddy’s Bad Boy Records turned into a hip-hop summer school, and the curriculum? One of Tupac’s greatest tracks! The team went all in, analyzing every note, rhyme, and vibe, aiming to unlock the secret sauce behind Pac’s legendary sound.

Diddy took center stage at the 2014 Golden Globe Awards alongside Usher and Kate Beckinsale to present the awards for two prestigious categories. He was arguably over the top while presenting Best Score to Alex Ebert, and later Best Original Song to U2. While Sean Combs was all in the party mood, U2 frontman Bono wasn’t having any of it.

Their awkward hug where Bono was visibly annoyed was one of the most discussed moments in that edition of the Golden Globes. U2 and Bono were on stage to receive the award for the song Ordinary Love from Mandela: Long Walk To Freedom. It was a pretty touching moment for them which the disgraced hip-hop mogul should’ve caught on.

Just when it seemed the British Royal Family had weathered all possible storms, Prince Harry was unexpectedly mentioned in a $30 million lawsuit involving rapper Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs.

In February 2024, a federal court filing in New York revealed that Rodney ‘Lil Rod’ Jones had accused Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs of a troubling array of misconduct during the former’s time working on Combs’ 2023 album. The lawsuit paints a dark portrait of Diddy’s alleged actions.

Before jumping to conclusions or getting carried away with wild theories, let’s set the record straight: Prince Harry isn’t accused of any wrongdoing. So why, you may wonder, has his name surfaced in this legal drama, especially with such serious allegations? Has he ever met Diddy?

Following Rolling Stone’s six-month investigation into alleged violent abuse by Sean Combs, Notorious B.I.G.’s mother, Voletta Wallace, tells Rolling Stone that she hopes the disgraced Bad Boy mogul apologizes to Cassie and his mother and that she wants to “slap the daylights out of him.”

It’s been a steady stream of harrowing allegations against Combs since his former girlfriend Casandra “Cassie” Ventura filed her sex-trafficking lawsuit against the Bad Boy founder in November, detailing numerous instances of violent physical abuse — including a 2016 attack that was captured on hotel surveillance footage.

Rapper Badshah, who is known for ‘Jugnu’, ‘DJ Wale Babu’ and ‘Kar Gayi Chull’, is a sneakerhead, and he recently got a pair of Air Force 1 High Sneakers as a gift from visual artiste Santanu Hazarika.

Santanu designed the visual identity for Badshah’s pan-India ‘Paagal’ tour this year. The sneakers have been custom designed by Santanu and double up as slides. The sneakers have been designed keeping the elements of the ‘Paagal’ tour in mind by the designer.

They have been designed in collaboration with Sykick, and are nothing short of revolutionary.

Fresh out of theaters, Bloody Disgusting and Screambox are excited to announce today that Onyx the Fortuitous and the Talisman of Souls is coming home next month.

Onyx the Fortuitous and the Talisman of Souls streams on November 14, only on Screambox!

Based on Bowser’s viral internet character of the same name, Onyx tells the story of an amateur occultist who learns that sometimes when you raise Hell…you get a little burned.

Between high-stakes cases and moral and ethical conflicts among the characters, the hour felt more like old-school The Resident than it has in some time.

We got the return of Conrad, the Bad Boy of Chastain, with an assist and push from Aj on The Resident Season 6 Episode 12. And our beloved characters nearly all found themselves weighing what the greater good is and entails.

The storylines and all the characters were balanced well too.

This would have served well as the first part of a two-hour finale, but the split may not have been so bad.

Unlike The Resident Season 6 Episode 11, where there wasn't much momentum built, and it was hard to say where the finale could've possibly gone or what it would've explored, this installment is enough to hook you for an exciting finale.

And while we still don't know how the season's final installment will play out, there...

The Philippines presents a unique case in animation. Even as one of the world’s leading producers of animation, this island-state has only collected around a dozen domestically-directed features in the last century. While journal articles often accuse local talent and limited resources, outsourcing is also to blame. In the US alone, up to 90% of all American TV animation is produced in Asia; in the Philippines, the fourth largest producer of global animation in the 1980s, this translated to as much as $25 billion Usd in revenue at its peak. Production may stay at home, but ownership ships overseas.

As a result, local auteur Avid Liongoren makes a point to direct his own films. His second feature, “Hayop Ka! The Nimfa Dimaano Story” recently hit Netflix headlines as the streaming site’s first Filipino animated feature. This brightly-colored drama follows the plight of Nimfa Dimaano (Angelica Panganiban), a working-class cat who can never quite settle.

In 1999, the walls started closing in on Sean “Puffy” Combs. Two years prior, his friend and Bad Boy Records superstar, the Notorious B.I.G., was gunned down in California. Puff’s album No Way Out, released a few months after Biggie’s death, bled with genuine grief and sorrow, and Bad Boy seemed like it could be poised to reign for decades. The label’s roster was stacked with many of New York’s most exciting voices — the Lox, Lil Kim, Faith Evans, 112, and Harlem rapper Mase. But by...

Three years in production, "You Animal!" (aka "Hayop Ka!"), the first adult animated Netflix feature from the Philippines is directed by Avid Liongoren, starring Angelica Panganiban, Robin Padilla and Sam Milby, streaming October 29, 2020 on Netflix:

"...in this refreshing look at societal expectations, personal aspirations and a classic love triangle, 'Nimfa Dimaano' is a pretty pussycat, perfume sales kitty at a department store.

"Her boyfriend, 'Roger' a macho mongrel is a janitor. One day Nimfa meets 'Iñigo Villanueva', a bourgeoisie business dog and their chemistry ignites.

"Will Nimfa and Roger's love for cheap street food prevail or will Iñigo’s high society charms tear their relationship apart...?"

Just when he thought he was out, they pulled him back in: Al Pacino will reunite with Robert De Niro, James Caan, Robert Duvall, Diane Keaton, Talia Shire and the man who mobbed them up, Francis Ford Coppola, in a rare reunion for the Tribeca Film Festival’s closing-night screenings of The Godfather and The Godfather Part II.

The cast and director of the greatest mob movies ever will take part in a panel discussion on April 29 at New York’s Radio City Music Hall, the closing-night event of the 16th annual Tribeca fest, which runs April 19-30.

Last week, Puff Daddy debuted his new Pharrell-assisted single “Finna Get Loose” as the grand finale of his Bad Boy mega-medley at the BET Awards. Now, the rapper has unveiled exclusive behind-the-scenes footage of that all-star performance soundtracked by Puff Daddy’s latest single. In the Armani Ortiz-directed black-and-white video, we watch as the Bad Boy mogul and a score of dancers prep for the performance, one of the many highlights from Bad Boy’s 20th anniversary celebration.

The BET Awards performance of “Finna Get Loose” has sparked a...

Puff Daddy is on a quest for total validation in his new song “I Want the Love,” which features Meek Mill and comes complete with a ridiculous, frigid video directed by Eif Rivera. As the recently redubbed Puffy expounds in the song’s intro, he’s not into funerals or people crying during hour-long specials about his life after he’s gone — “Love me while I’m here!” he screams from somewhere in the Swiss Alps.
