Rapper Sean Kingston and his mother, Janice Turner, have been found guilty of federal wire fraud.
The verdict — guilty on a total of five counts — was delivered Friday after three and a half hours of jury deliberation at the trial in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. During the trial, prosecutors alleged that the mother-son duo allegedly defrauded several luxury goods businesses in recent years, including a jewelry business, a luxury bed company, a used exotic car dealership, and a luxury microLED TV company.
Now, Kingston has been ordered to remain under house arrest with electronic monitoring. He must also post a surety bond consisting of a home valued at $500,000 and an additional $200,000 in cash.

Just Go with It's soundtrack features the perfect mix of songs to usher the story toward every step of the way. The romantic comedy stars Adam Sandler as a plastic surgeon whose big move is to pretend he is married so he can hook up with women without ever having to call them again.

Of course, this leads to an even more outrageous series of events and an unlikely love story.

Fresh off the heels of his latest single, ‘Rush’, which features Billboard-charting recording artist Zoey Dollaz, Ike Rhein returns with a new hit, ‘Good Love’. ‘Good Love’ features multi-platinum recording artist Sean Kingston. The song is the second lead single from Ike Rhein’s upcoming debut album, ‘Memoir’, which is slated to be released in early 2024.
In a similar vein as “Rush,” “Good Love” dives into relationships and the titular, love. However, “Good Love” has a more romantic, sensual vibe to it. The track is more of a Pop song, but it does have R&b / Soul sounds sprinkled in it. Sean Kingston also adds his Caribbean flair, which gives the record an eclectic, rich tone. “I wanted to give fans a feel-good, lovey-dovey type of Pop song.” Ike Rhein continues, “I added the legend, Sean Kingston, to surprise fans and give the song another element that fans haven’t heard from me yet.
In a similar vein as “Rush,” “Good Love” dives into relationships and the titular, love. However, “Good Love” has a more romantic, sensual vibe to it. The track is more of a Pop song, but it does have R&b / Soul sounds sprinkled in it. Sean Kingston also adds his Caribbean flair, which gives the record an eclectic, rich tone. “I wanted to give fans a feel-good, lovey-dovey type of Pop song.” Ike Rhein continues, “I added the legend, Sean Kingston, to surprise fans and give the song another element that fans haven’t heard from me yet.

TLC have an array of stars in their documentary “TLC Forever”.
The band — who are currently on the Hot Summer Nights Tour with Shaggy and special guests En Vogue and Sean Kingston — chatted to Et Canada’s Brittnee Blair about teaming up with the likes of Dave Grohl in the Lifetime doc, which chronicles the journey of the group.
Having someone like Grohl — who lost Foo Fighters’ drummer Taylor Hawkins last year — appear meant a lot, given TLC band member Lisa “Left Eye” Lopes died in 2002 in a car accident.
Tionne “T-Boz” Watkins said of Grohl, “He actually can understand exactly what we felt because he lost a group member as well. So, you know, there’s no one more perfect in my eyes that could have spoke on our behalf.”

Viewers had a hard time picking the finalists on The Voice season 22, as there was such a stellar cast, and several surprising eliminations. Blake Shelton, Gwen Stefani, John Legend, and Camila Cabello all had strong teams this season, with performers as young as 17 years old. While Team Blake ultimately took home the title after Bryce Leatherwood won this season, some fans were hoping for a different top five in the finale.

Alas, En Vogue couldn’t hold on, and this time, it was Shaggy. Both 1990s artists were eliminated on Wednesday night during the Round 3 finales of this season’s “The Masked Singer.”
The En Vogue trio of Terry Ellis, Cindy Herron and Rhona Bennett were unmasked as the Queen Cobra, while Shaggy was revealed to be the Space Bunny.
For Queen Cobra, Nicole Scherzinger figured out it was En Vogue, and Jenny McCarthy Wahlberg agreed. Robin Thicke thought it was another 90s R&b group, Swv; and Ken Jeong went big with the more contemporary combo of Ariana Grande/Jessie J/Nicki Minaj.
As for Space Bunny, Thicke was correct with Shaggy, and Scherzinger agreed. McCarthy Wahlberg thought it was Sean Kingston and Ken Jeong guessed Owen Wilson.

(Warning: This post contains spoilers for Wednesday’s “The Masked Singer.”)
It appears to be ’90s week on “The Masked Singer.” During the Round 3 Finals on Wednesday, both Space Bunny and Queen Cobras were eliminated from the competition.
Queen Cobras was revealed to be R&b group En Vogue, while Space Bunny was none other than Shaggy. The judges were on a roll this week, managing to guess the correct identities for each before they were unmasked.
Shaggy was the first to go home after his performance of “Now That We Found Love.” Before he was revealed, judge Robin Thicke managed to correctly guess that he was behind the cuddly astronaut costume. In all honesty, the reggae singer told TheWrap he wasn’t too surprised that the judges were able to figure out his identity — and he actually expected it sooner.
