Diddy’s Request For House Arrest Until His 2025 Trial Was Reportedly Denied By A Judge

On September 16, Sean “Diddy” Combs was taken into federal custody amid his sex trafficking allegations. The following day, Diddy was formally charged with racketeering conspiracy, sex trafficking by force, fraud or coercion, and transportation to engage in prostitution.

Since then Diddy’s legal team has been hard at work trying to get the disgraced mogul released. After their requests for a bond were denied three times, Diddy’s lawyers have reportedly taken a different approach. According to US Weekly, Diddy’s legal team requested that he be released on house arrest until his trial, which is tentatively scheduled for May 2025.

But the outlet claims presiding US District Judge Arun Subramanian “immediately rejected the idea.”

“That is not going to work,” he said.

In the lawyers’ proposal they suggested Diddy be confided to his Star Island mansion in Miami, Florida. The property was one of Diddy’s estates that was raided by Homeland Security and local authorities in March.

They also offered Diddy’s heavily guarded Upper East Side apartment as a secondary option. Both offered were rejected by the judge. Instead, Diddy will remain at the Brooklyn Metropolitan Detention Center.

The latest (and fourth) bail decision regarding Diddy’s detainment will be decided next week according to the outlet.

Adele Is ‘Sh*tting Herself’ Because She Does Not Have Any Plans For Her Indefinite Hiatus

Weekends With Adele Las Vegas Final 2024 (1024x437)

After several extensions and multiple unforeseen postponements, Adele’s Las Vegas residency has officially concluded. Yesterday (November 23), Weekends With Adele wrapped up its monster of a run at Caesars Palace’s The Colosseum.

As expected the “Chasing Pavements” singer delivered a tearful speech about Weekends With Adele ending. Although Adele was moved by the milestone, it appears her emotional reaction as more to do with Adele’s indefinite hiatus.

While addressing the end of Weekends With Adele and her upcoming “long break,” Adele revealed she’s “sh*tting herself” trying to figure out what’s next. In the clip captured by an attendee (viewable here), discussed her plans or lack thereof.

“[The residency] has been wonderful, and I’m going to miss [my fans] terribly,” she said. “I don’t know when I next want to perform again. I’m not doing anything else. I’m actually sh*tting myself about what I am going to do.”

Adele went on to joke about what she would fill her days with now that she won’t be consumed with show fittings, sound checks, band rehearsals, and more. “I guess I’ll just daydream,” she joked. “I guess that’s what I will be doing. But I can’t do that forever.”

She closed with a token of appreciation for the fans that made the trip to Las Vegas in order to see her perform. Adele’s long break is well deserved but fans supporters hope that she’ll at least occasionally release music.

The Commanders And Cowboys Played The Most Insane Final 3 Minutes Of Any Game This Season

FOX

The Commanders and Cowboys played in. one of the funniest games in the NFL this season, as the two divisional rivals went back and forth with each team being on the wrong end of some massive blunders in what ended up a 34-26 Cowboys win.

The final three minutes was particularly insane, as it saw the game go from 20-9 Dallas to 34-26 with a truly outrageous sequence of events. The first was a touchdown from Jayden Daniels to Zach Ertz, with Daniels running in the two-point try to make it 20-17. On the ensuing kickoff, Kavontae Turpin let the ball bounce in front of him and had it roll past him for a near-disaster, before turning it into a touchdown return with a quick spin move and outrageous speed, making it 27-17.

The Commanders would then kick a field goal with just under two minutes to play to make it 27-20. A failed onside kick figured to be about the end of things, but it was truly just the beginning. Washington’s defense got the three-and-out needed to give their offense a chance at a miracle, and Daniels delivered for the second time this season as Dallas’ defense melted down, allowing Terry McLaurin to catch the ball and evade everyone on his way for an 87-yard touchdown. However, Austin Seibert had already missed an extra point earlier in the game, so it was anything but a guarantee they would tie the game, and sure enough a bad snap led to a rushed operation and Seibert hooked another left of the uprights to keep it a 1-point game (videos below).

On the ensuing onside kick, the Cowboys scooped it up and ran it back for a touchdown, which was the one thing that could keep the Commanders hopes alive, as they would get the ball back with time on the clock and a chance at another Hail Mary. Alas, this time Daniels’ efforts at a miracle ended up being caught by Dallas and the game finally ended with a Cowboys win that became far more difficult than it ever needed to be.

In 2022, SZA released her long-awaited sophomore album SOS. Since then the chart-topping body of work has continued to set or break records. But, the “Kill Bill” singer doesn’t plan on taking another five year gap between projects.

Yesterday (November 23), SZA teased the projected timeline of her next project. During her appearance on Kai Cenat‘s livestream, SZA
promised to release her highly anticipated follow-up (viewable here). When asked about when supporters should expect it, SZA replied: “It’ll be out before the year is over.”

The announcement shocked Kai, Lizzo (who was also a special guest on the stream), and users online. SZA didn’t share any further information about the forthcoming album. However, many believe the album in question Lana, the at one-time deluxe version of SOS.

Earlier in the month, SZA gave British Vogue an update about Lana.

“I think I am making music from a more beautiful place. From a more possible place versus a more angsty place,” she said. “I’m not identifying with my brokenness. It’s not my identity. It’s shit that happened to me. Yeah, I experienced cruelty. I have to put it down at some point. Piece by piece, my music is shifting because of that, the lighter I get.”

After supposedly scrapping a version of the project due to leaks, Lana has experience several setbacks. Fortunately for SZA supporters, she seemingly powered through.

Whitney Cummings Says ‘Thank God’ Sabrina Carpenter Was Not Cast In ‘The Conners’

Long before Sabrina Carpenter was a chart-topping pop star, she was a Disney Channel darling.

According to Whitney Cummings, one role could’ve derailed the “Espresso” singer’s momentous rise in music. During a sit down with People, Whitney Cummings claimed Sabrina Carpenter had eyes on The Conners‘ Harris Conner-Healy role on. But ultimately she lost out to Emma Kenney and Cummings says: “Thank God.”

“Sabrina Carpenter auditioned, and it wasn’t the right fit,” she said. “She got a rejection that day when we were casting the daughter. And by the way, thank God we said no to her.”

Cummings went on to explain why she is essentially happy Carpenter was bypassed saying: “Because she’d be stuck on a sitcom set and not being Sabrina Carpenter.”

Although landing The Conners gig could’ve added another notch to her acting resume, the series did face controversy over Roseanne Barr’s racist comments.

Also, the show, which first aired in 2018, is heading into it seventh and final season. During the show’s run, Sabrina Carpenter has experienced the largest moment in her musical career. Some of these moments include multiple Grammy Award nominations, a sold-out headlining arena tour, chart dominance, several notable collaborations (including Taylor Swift), and more.

Lil Nas X’s Recent NSFW Amazon Purchase Being Posted On X (Twitter) ‘Wasn’t An Accident,’ According To The Musician

Your personal shopping habits are typical only known by you and online data collectors. Lil Nas X, on the other hand, doesn’t mind letting the world into his latest purchases. The only issue is the “Light Again” musician’s recent splurge could violate community guidelines.

Yesterday (November 23), Lil Nas X bought a sexy time toy from Amazon (viewable here). Following the purchase, the link to the item was shared to his X (formerly Twitter) page with the caption: “I just bought Realistic Thick Dildo Sex Toy, 7.16 Inch Safe Silicone Lifelike G Spot Anal Dildos with Strong Suction Cup for Hands-Free, Flexible Monster Stimulator Adult Toys for Women Men Couples on Amazon! Get your own here.”

Shortly after pop news aggregator, Pop Drop, reported that the upload was shared accidentally. However, Lil Nas X refuted the outlet’s claim, writing: “It wasn’t an accident.”

Although Lil Nas X turned replies off on the post, users online shared posts accusing him of reverting to his troll-like antics. However, others speculated that Lil Nas X’s post was a subtle jab directed at his longtime foe Elon Musk, the owner of X.

Lil Nas X supporters sited the recent suspension of several gay pornographic accounts across the platform as their supporting evidence.

At this time, it is all fan theories as Lil Nas X hasn’t detailed his reason for uploading the NSFW purchase.

What’s Popular On Streaming Now

Netflix

Every single week, our TV and film experts will list the most important ten streaming selections for you to pop into your queues. We’re not strictly operating upon reviews or accrued streaming clicks (although yes, we’ve scoured the streaming site charts) but, instead, upon those selections that are really worth noticing amid the churning sea of content. There’s a lot out there, after all, and your time is valuable.

10. Gladiator – Universal film streaming on Paramount+ With Showtime

Ridley Scott’s original flick with Russell Crowe is promising to “entertain” while the sequel (starring Paul Mescal, Pedro Pascal, Connie Nielsen, and Denzel Washington) enters theaters. This first movie doesn’t have nearly as much spectacle as the new film that promises water battles, but it’s still worth a microwave-popcorn crunching viewing at home before you head out to watch the next generation of sandal-clad battles.

9. My Old AssPrime Video/Amazon movie

Aubrey Plaza, man. She was playing the awkward long game and it’s paid off all at once over the past few years. This movie spruces up the coming-of-age premise when Plaza’s 39-year-old Elliott visits her 18-year-old self (Maisy Stella) in an effort to press the brakes on future regrets, sort of like if The Terminator‘s Kyle Reese was sent back in time to do mushrooms and tell Sarah Connor to ditch that 1980s hairdo earlier in life. Not quite? Let me have this poor analogy and then go enjoy this more nuanced analysis.

8. Dune: Prophecy – HBO series streaming on Max

Are you looking to watch Paul Atreides rode a sandworm? Get outta here with that. In all seriousness, this series takes place about 10,000 years before Denis Villeneuve’s blockbuster movies take flight and before Duncan Idaho was far too handsome to be striding around on Arrakis. This recently launched series will detail how the Bene Gesserit sisterhood will show the audience a new side of Frank Herbert’s epic brainchild. Dune: Prophecy follows the Sisterhood of Dune book penned by Brian Herbert (son of Frank) and Kevin J. Anderson, who detailed how a war has destroyed technology as this civilization has known it, and with that, the worldbuilding can begin anew.

7. LionessParamount+ series

Zoe Saldana and Taylor Sheridan are both doubling down on this week’s list, and here, their combined powers add up to one of the more unique Sheridanverse series with the prolific Paramount+ king proving that he’s no mere cowboy. Genesis Rodriguez is the breakout of this season, and her role as part of the real-life Marine Corps all-women Lioness program has led to a casting in The Night Agent‘s third season on Netflix.

6. SiloApple TV+ series

Let the Rebecca Ferguson Supremacy begin. It is no accident that a former mayor character saw hope in Juliette beyond being a mechanical genius. However, those skills are what Hugh Howey’s most famous protagonist must put to use if she wants to survive. Graham Yost’s (Justified, Band Of Brothers) newest show is on track for a four-season run, and Steve Zahn has joined the cast as a book-notorious character. With that said, the Order warned that a failed cleaning would add up to “war,” and so far, the residents of Juliette’s home base are on track to meet that goal.

5. Arcane: League Of LegendsNetflix series

Are you ready to get your steampunk on? Gamers and cosplayers have been holding watch parties while you’ve been busy watching spy shows, and there’s no time like the present to branch out because there’s so many worlds out there for every TV viewer. This also happens to be Ella Purnell’s second successful video-game TV series and co-stars Hailee Steinfeld while sisters find themselves fighting as rivals in a tech-fueled war between the Piltover and Zaun twin cities. Show-stopping animation (even if you aren’t usually into animation) and a thrilling story will get you hooked.

4. Emilia PérezNetflix film

This electric film provides the rarest of showcases for Selena Gomez, Zoe Saldana, and Karla Sofia Gascón. Did you hear that this is a musical, too? Don’t be afraid of that label, even though that fear is likely why that label hasn’t appeared too prominently during promotion. The drama story hails from auteur Jacques Audiard and revolves around about a cartel leader who fakes their own death and emerges as a woman, Emilia Pérez. Gomez portrays Emilia’s wife, Jessi, and this film will have long legs, so if you want to know what the continuing chatter is about, it’s waiting on Netflix for the taking.

3. CrossPrime Video/Amazon series

There’s more than enough room on Prime Video/Amazon for rotating Dad TV anthems, and Aldis Hodge has joined that club as unparalleled D.C. forensic psychologist Alex Cross. This version of the James Patterson character, however, isn’t following the specific beats of any particular book, and the author has given his blessing. Amazon, as well, has so much confidence in this series that they renewed for a second season months before liftoff. Not incidentally, Reacher is still months away from its third season and has received a fourth-season renewal, too. Dads are powerful TV connoisseurs.

2. LandmanParamount+ series

Off the hook? Taylor Sheridan isn’t exactly puritanical, but the series premiere of the Billy Bob Thornton-starring series revealed a bawdy streak (courtesy of Michelle Randolph) right away. The leading man’s world weariness is ingrained within his Tommy Norton character, and I don’t believe that Michael Pena or Emilio Rivera have received enough recognition for their trash-talking cookout. Throughout this season, Jon Hamm, Demi Moore, and Ali Larter will help flesh out Tommy’s personal and professional lives, and this gets messy.

1. Cobra KaiNetflix series

How on earth are we somehow staring down the final five episodes, and exactly how does a certain character always manage to do the cigar and hot tub thing? The final moments of the recent release took the series to its darkest place, but since this is generally a life-affirming series, that mood will hopefully smooth itself over. In the meantime, the Sekai Taikai worldwide tournament still must be settled, and ideally, Robby and Tory can stop “defining the relationship” while physical fights are ongoing. Focus, people.

Fred VanVleet Pointed In A Ref’s Face And Called Him A ‘B*tch’ After Getting Ejected

Space City Home Network

The Houston Rockets have had a phenomenal start to the 2024-25 season, entering Saturday’s game against Portland at 12-5 on the young season, but things did not go as planned against the scrappy, young Blazers in a 104-98 loss.

The frustrations of that loss were evident late in the fourth quarter when Fred VanVleet got ejected after getting into it with the officials, telling them all that they suck, but then took things a step further after getting run by walking directly to the official that tossed him, pointing in his face, and telling him “you’re a b*tch.”

From the TV angle, it wasn’t clear if VanVleet made contact with the official’s face, which was of concern to the Rockets broadcast crew as that would’ve been an auto-suspension. However, a side angle showed that he did not make contact, but did still point his finger right in the ref’s face in a moment that wasn’t exactly his finest. This will definitely lead to VanVleet paying a hefty fine to the league office, and we’ll have to wait and see if, even without actually poking the ref, this crossed enough of a line to earn him a night off without pay. VanVleet is averaging 14.9 points and 6.2 assists per game this season for Houston.

Katy Perry Has Reportedly Won Her Trademark Lawsuit Appeal Against An Australian Designer

Katy Perry has been a household name since her breakout single, “I Kissed a Girl” dominated the pop scene in 2008. Global fame has afforded Perry a host of perks, which haven’t slowed down despite her online critics.

In fact, her superstardom also earned Perry a victory in her length legal battle over her name’s trademark. According to Sydney Morning Herald, Katy Perry won her trademark appeal lawsuit against Australian designer Katie Jane Taylor (owner of the Katie Perry loungewear brand).

Full Court of the Federal Court Justices David Yates, Stephen Burley and Helen Rofe ruled that the “difference in spelling of ‘Katy’ v ‘Katie’ does not take the aurally identical word marks beyond deceptive similarity.”

With that said, due to Perry’s popularity paired with Taylor’s invalidly being registered sole owner of the trademark has been given to the singer.

“Whilst some die-hard fans of [the I Kissed A Girl singer and co-writer] may recognize the incorrect spelling, the ordinary consumer with an imperfect recollection,” wrote the presiding judges. “[It] would be likely to be confused as to the source of the item and wonder whether it was associated with [the performer].”

The battle kicked off after Taylor filed and won a case against Perry in connection to her namesake merchandise line last year. In a statement to the outlet Taylor slammed the decision. “I am devastated with the outcome of the case,” she said. “I won my case at first instance and to have it overturned on appeal is heartbreaking. This case proves a trademark isn’t worth the paper it’s printed on. My fashion label has been a dream of mine since I was 11 years old, and now that dream that I have worked so hard for since 2006 has been taken away.”

Katy Perry has not issued a public response.
