Tiffany Haddish has reached a resolution in a Georgia DUI case that dates back more than four years. The comedian and actress pleaded guilty Tuesday to one count of DUI driving less safe in a Georgia court, ending the criminal case stemming from her January 2022 arrest. Haddish, 46, entered the plea by video conference as part of a negotiated agreement with prosecutors. Under the deal, prosecutors dropped the remaining charges, while the court sentenced Haddish to 12 months of probation and a 24-hour jail term. Because Haddish had already spent a day in custody following her original arrest, the…

Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department deputies responded to the property around 3:45 p.m. Sunday following reports of the intrusion. According to authorities, the suspect entered the multimillion-dollar estate, removed several items and then took a Lexus for a ride through the gated community.

Phoebe Gates’ shopping app Phia is facing fresh scrutiny over allegations that it took credit for sales it did not actually drive. A new Bloomberg report says people familiar with the matter claim Gates and Phia co-founder Sophia Kianni knew about the practice months before the company publicly said it had discovered what it called “misattributions.” The allegations center on a controversial digital advertising practice known as “cookie stuffing,” in which tracking cookies can be placed on a user’s browser so a company receives credit for a purchase even when its product did not generate the sale. Phia has said…
Ray J’s legal battle with Kim Kardashian and Kris Jenner is moving forward after a Los Angeles County Superior Court judge rejected his attempt to have their defamation case dismissed. According to court documents obtained by TMZ, the judge denied Ray J’s effort to throw out defamation and false light claims brought against him by Kim and Kris. The case stems from statements Ray J made publicly about the mother-daughter duo, including claims that they were connected to a federal racketeering investigation and comments comparing the alleged situation to Diddy. Ray J has denied defaming Kim or Kris, arguing that…
Chris Brown is asking a court for another shot at a case that ended with a $12.9 million judgment in favor of his former housekeeper, Maria Avila. The singer has filed court documents seeking a new trial, arguing that the jury was unfairly influenced after being allowed to hear about his 2009 felony domestic violence conviction involving Rihanna. Brown had previously asked the judge to keep that conviction out of the trial, arguing that an incident from 17 years earlier had no connection to the dog-bite lawsuit and could prejudice the jury against him. The judge ultimately allowed the testimony.…
Keke Palmer is pumping the brakes on months of speculation that she and Hot Ones host Sean Evans are Hollywood’s newest couple. During an appearance on Evan Ross Katz’s Shut Up Evan podcast, Palmer acknowledged why fans have been pairing the two together but made it clear that their relationship is not what some people may think. The actress joked about the idea of taking their connection to the next level, then delivered a much more direct explanation: “What are we supposed to do, go get married? We don’t even know each other outside of work.” That comment puts some…

Oprah Winfrey is drawing a firm line between herself and two television personalities whose careers received major boosts from The Oprah Winfrey Show: Dr. Phil and Dr. Oz. In a new interview with Emmy Magazine, Oprah addressed criticism over giving both men prominent platforms before they went on to build their own television careers. Her message is straightforward: whatever Dr. Phil and Dr. Oz chose to do after appearing on her show belongs to them. “Everybody has their own path in life, and it has not one thing to do with me, and I don’t have one thing to do…

Sean “Diddy” Combs is firing back at Rodney “Lil Rod” Jones with a new legal claim centered on footage allegedly taken from Diddy’s personal video archive. According to the allegations described in the countersuit, Diddy claims Jones used his position as a videographer and producer to access computer drives containing footage that was intended for a documentary about Diddy’s life.

Yella Beezy is asking a Dallas judge to put a limit on the number of potential witnesses prosecutors can bring into his upcoming murder-for-hire trial. The rapper, whose real name is Markies Conway, has challenged a State of Texas witness list that now contains 264 names, arguing that the massive list does not give his defense enough clarity about who prosecutors actually intend to call. Conway’s attorney, Toby Shook, filed a four-page motion Monday with the Dallas County Clerk asking Judge Chika Anyiam to order prosecutors to provide a narrowed, good-faith witness list. The request comes less than two weeks…
Wayne Barrow has scored a significant court ruling in the ongoing dispute over proceeds connected to The Notorious B.I.G.’s music catalog. A Delaware Chancery Court judge ruled that Barrow, the sole trustee of late rapper Biggie Smalls’ mother Voletta Wallace’s trust, is entitled to receive her share of distributions from Notorious B.I.G. LLC. The ruling rejected R&B singer Faith Evans’ challenge to those payments and gives Barrow control over the distributions that Wallace was entitled to receive under the company’s agreement. The decision does not end every legal dispute surrounding Biggie’s estate, however. A separate lawsuit involving Wallace’s grandson, CJ…

Suge Knight does not want any part of the courtroom battle over Tupac Shakur’s murder. The former Death Row Records boss has warned that he will not cooperate with either side if he is compelled to testify in the case against Duane “Keefe D” Davis, whose trial is now moving forward in Nevada. Knight was driving the vehicle when Tupac was fatally shot in Las Vegas in 1996, making him a significant potential witness nearly three decades later. But Knight says forcing him onto the witness stand would not necessarily benefit either side. His message to the lawyers is blunt:…
Luigi Mangione’s defense team wants his upcoming New York murder trial to be seen by a much wider audience. Mangione’s attorneys are seeking permission to livestream the state proceedings as they continue adjusting their legal strategy amid separate state and federal prosecutions stemming from the December 2024 fatal shooting of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson. The defense previously considered using an extreme emotional disturbance defense in the state case but withdrew that strategy earlier this summer. Now, attorneys are reportedly exploring other ways to present evidence about Mangione’s mental and emotional state while trying to preserve their options for the separate…
Cash Cobain is taking his signature style from the Bronx rap scene to one of denim’s most recognizable brands. The rapper and producer is the face of True Religion’s Fall 2026 Iconography Capsule, a limited-edition collection that revisits the brand’s most recognizable design elements through a contemporary lens.

Across the collection, familiar Horseshoe, Buddha and Big T motifs return alongside contrast stitching, script branding and updated silhouettes. For Cobain, the campaign represents another step in an aesthetic that has…
