Bianca Belair defeated Naomi, Bayley, Roxanne Perez, Alexa Bliss, and Liv Morgan to win the WWE Women’s Elimination Chamber and earn a championship match against at WrestleMania 41 in Las Vegas.
Jade Cargill returned from injury to attack Naomi before the bell could ring. Unable to compete, Naomi was eliminated before the match could begin. Morgan squared off with Belair, who was first out of the pods and immediately tried to come to the aide of her fallen tag team partner. Morgan took advantage early on and gained some momentum early.
Perez came firing out of the pods, and connected on a russian leg sweep into the chamber cage. Bayley was next out of the chamber pod, followed by Bliss. Perez and Bayley exchanged shots, only for Bayley to be eliminated by Morgan.
Morgan was chased up the pod by Belair, and Belair whipped her with her hair, knocking her off the pod. Belair then jumped from the top of the pod onto Morgan. Perez was knocked to the ground before Bliss hit Twisted Bliss for the pinfall.
Bliss connected on the Sister Abigail to Belair, but Morgan rolled through for the pinfall. She pulled Belair over but was only able to get a two-count. Morgan yo-yo’d Belair against the cage, pulling her hair back and forth as she slammed her head into the cage. Outside the ring, Belair held Morgan and flung her against the pod, then the cage, then the pod again.
In the ring again, Belair hit the KOD on Morgan for the pinfall, earning her spot at WrestleMania.
Escorted to the stage by friend and actress Millie Bobby Brown, Sabrina Carpenter used her address (viewable here) to hilariously thank the UK for understanding her “dry humor” or as Americans often refer to it, her “extra horny” jokes.
Read Sabrina Carpenter’s full Global Success Award speech during the 2025 BRIT Awards below.
The first time I ever came to the UK was ten years ago–I was with my mom and nobody knew who I was. Maybe ten people. But, all I kept thinking about was one day how exciting it would feel if anyone in the UK knew my music. Now, this week I get to headline the 02 [Arena] because of you guys.
And the BRITs have given me this award, and it feels like such an insane honor. In a primarily tea drinking country you guys streamed the sh*t out of ‘Espresso’ and you streamed ‘Short ‘N Sweet.’
You’ve really understood my dry sense of humor because your sense of humor is so, so, so dry. So, I love y’all more than you even understand. I want to thank Island [Records], Polydor, Universal [Music Group], my incredibly hard-working team that never sleeps, my family, my friends, my sisters–all the people I love. Most importantly, I want to thank the fans. The ones that have followed me since the beginning. The ones that have followed me since tonight. I love you so much. This is all because of you and this is for you. Thank you so much. Cheerio.
Lil Baby is arguably one of Atlanta’s biggest music acts. As a native, the “By Myself” rapper wears that as a badge of honor. While residents view Lil Baby as a hometown hero, local law enforcement has a starkly different classification of him.
In a press conference, Atlanta Police Department’s Homicide Commander Ralph Woolfolk, slammed Lil Baby after a shooting on the set of his 2024 music filming ended in two deaths. “He knew he should not have been there,” said Woolfolk. He then vowed to hold Lil Baby responsible for the tragedy.
Now, Lil Baby’s lawyers, Drew Findling and Marissa Goldberg, have issued statement of their own to TMZ. “[Woolfolk’s remarks are] complete and total nonsense,” said the legal duo.
They continued: “To say that he couldn’t shoot a music video in his hometown, a place that he loves and has continued to uplift, is disgraceful. Even more, the location for a major music video shoot is a decision made by a professional team and is not a decision made by any individual.”
Despite the APD’s previous accusations, Findling and Goldberg firmly hold that Lil Baby “had absolutely no involvement” in the shooting. They revealed that Lil Baby was “devastated” following the tragic incident because he as well as the grew up in that neighborhood.
Findling and Goldberg closed by calling the APD’s comments “unprofessional, unethical and shameful.”
The Atlanta Police Department have reportedly arrested 7 people in connection with the shooting.
Today (March 1), Sabrina Carpenter took her talents across the pond for a highly anticipated BRIT Awards performance. Fresh off of her humorous and charming display during the 2025 Grammys, Carpenter’s UK fans were expecting a more tame showing. Instead, for her performance at the 2025 BRIT Awards (viewable here), Carpenter reverted to her hot and steamy ways to sing “Espresso” and “Bed Chem.”
In full mock Royal Guard regalia, Carpenter and her men background dancers took to London’s The O2 Arena stage. As the group fiercely marched around in sync, Carpenter ethereally sang her beloved song “Espresso.” With the robust audience’s vocal support, Carpenter did not have any need for additional background singers. After shaking her perfectly stoned tail feather off, Carpenter made a swift exit from the stage for a quick wardrobe change.
Then Carpenter reemerge in the center of her dreamy plush heart shaped bedroom set (seen through the Short ‘N Sweet Tour) to perform “Bed Chem.” This time, Carpenter’s impressively flexible woman dancers joined her for a round of sensual choreography.
As Carpenter’s time on stage was coming to an end, one of her faux Royal Guardsmen got awfully close. The pair, nearly chest-to-chest, were then lowered from the audience’s sight line with Carpenter took other creative liberties.
With Carpenter’s Short ‘N Sweet Tour slated to resume at the end of the year, fans could an extension of the steamy moment when she visits a city near them.
Someone from Diddy’sMaking The Band past wants the disgraced mogul to make amends. While the “Act Bad” musician awaits his racketeering and sex trafficking trial, Diddy (real name Sean Combs) has been named in a slew of civil complaints–of which the latest arrived yesterday (February 28).
According to court documents obtained by Rolling Stone, former Da Band singer Sara Rivers (formerly Sara Stokes) is suing Diddy for sexual harassment, battery, and fostering a hostile work environment.
Rivers says that during the tapping Making The Band, she was subject to unwanted sexual advances by Diddy. Rivers’ lawyer Ariel Mitchell outlines a supposed incident in which Diddy “backed her into a corner and blocked her from moving while running his hand across her breasts.”
Mitchell also referred to the infamous moment where Diddy forced Da Band members (including Rivers) to walk to Junior’s Restaurant for cheesecake. While viewers found the moment humorous, Mitchell argues that it is a glaring example of Diddy’s “abusive” demands forced upon subordinates.
In the paperwork, Rivers also named MTV and Viacom (the networks behind the infamous reality television show), several ex-Bad Boy employees including Diddy’s assistant Fonzworth Bentley, and Diddy’s mother Janice Combs. Rivers accused many of the parties of being complicit in Diddy’s alleged actions.
However, Diddy’s legal team has come out to slam Rivers’ claims. In a statement to the outlet, reps referred to the lawsuit as “yet another example of false claims being filed against Mr. Combs.”
“No matter how many lawsuits are filed, it won’t change the fact that Mr. Combs has never sexually assaulted or sex trafficked anyone—man or woman, adult or minor,” said the legal spokesperson. “We live in a world where anyone can file a lawsuit for any reason. With the deadline for New York’s Gender-Motivated Violence Act expiring tomorrow, it’s clear that opportunists are rushing to file last-minute, meritless claims. Mr. Combs remains confident he will prevail in court.”
Sara Rivers is reportedly seeking $60 million in damages.
Although famed DJ and producer Marshmello’s identity remains a mystery to most–the same can not be said of his home address. The “Feel In Love” musician’s mixes invites listeners into his world, but some folks have overstepped that boundary violating his personal space.
According to TMZ, on Tuesday, February 25, Marshmello’s Los Angeles home was burglarized. Based on insider information received by the outlet, the break-in was not discovered until days later.
On Thursday, February 27, Marshmello’s private security team supposedly entered the properly only to find it in disarray. It was after walking surveillance footage that they learned intruders had ransacked Marshmello’s home seemingly in search for valuables.
A law enforcement source confirmed to TMZ, that the burglars did in fact find something of interest. The insider claimed unidentified people made off with a safe. While the Los Angeles Police Department immediately responded to Marshmello’s distress call and filed a formal burglary report, at this time no arrests have made.
However, because the investigation is ongoing and Marshmello’s team is reportedly aiding with the matter, they are hopeful that things will be resolved soon. Sadly, this is not the first time Marshmello’s valuables were at the center of a criminal investigation.
Back in 2020, Marshmello’s fully custom $500k Hennessey Ford VelociRaptor truck was stolen from a dealership’s service center. After tracking down the vehicle, the suspects led police on a full out chase. Eventually, the assailant was detained, and the truck was returned to Marshmello.
Marshmello has not issued a public statement regarding the home burglary.
Sorrow has come over lovers of soul music. Legendary soul singer, songwriter, and actress Angie Stone has tragically died at 63 years old (according to TMZ).
Deborah R. Champagne, a longtime representative for Stone, confirmed the heartbreaking news with the outlet. “Angie [Stone] left a performance in Montgomery, Alabama early Saturday morning when she was killed in a car crash,” said the rep.
At this time, no other details have been shared by Champagne or Stone’s family. Stone is survived by daughter Diamond Stone and son who shared with fellow entertainer D’Angelo, Michael Archer Jr. (professional known as SwayvoTwain).
The multi-Grammy Award nominated recording artist made a successful career as a soloist, recording hits such as “Wish I Didn’t Miss You” and “Brotha.” But, Stone’s breakthrough came as part of the 1970s hip hop trio the Sequence. During the 1990s, Stone spent her time in the R&B trio Vertical Hold alongside Willie Bruno II and Dave Bright.
As an actress, Stone appeared in several TV shows and films–most notably in 2003’s The Fighting Temptations, which starred Beyoncé and Cuba Gooding Jr. Stone also starred in the 2015 reality TV show R&B Divas: Atlanta, where she frequently addressed the challenges of working in the music industry.
Supporters online have begun to pen touching tributes in Stone’s memory.
Back in 2020 rap loss underground legend MF Doom. Although it has been nearly five years since, the “Gazzillion Ear” rapper’s death, fans, friends, and his family have kept his legacy at the forefront of hip-hop. But in doing so, his estate has faced a few hurdles.
According to records, one of these obstacles have been overcome. Yesterday (February 28), Pitchfork exclusively reported that MF Doom’s widow, Jasmine Dumile Thompson and the late musician’s former A&R Eothen “Egon” Alapatt’s legal battle over his notebooks has been resolved.
Following the parties “amicable” and confidential settlement, they shared a statement regarding the matter.
“We are relieved to bring this chapter to a close,” said Thompson. “Over the years, there have been many public narratives concerning this matter, some of which have been misrepresented or unfairly magnified. While differences did arise along the way, we acknowledge that Egon preserved Doom’s invaluable notebooks and are grateful to now have them returned as part of this resolution.”
She continued: “As a family, our focus remains steadfast on celebrating Doom’s extraordinary legacy—his unparalleled artistry and his lasting impact on music and culture. We hope that this resolution serves as a step forward in continuing to honor his memory.”
Alapatt spoke to his relationship with MF Doom and his intent behind storing the notebooks. “Doom was a dear friend to me and one of the most important artists I’ve ever known,” he said. “I bought Doom’s notebooks and kept them safe for years to ensure his powerful musical legacy could be preserved. My only goal has always been to showcase Doom’s lasting musical genius, and the resolution Jasmine and I have reached regarding Doom’s notebooks represents a significant triumph in protecting the genesis of a once-in-a-lifetime talent.”
He closed: “I am proud to have played a role in saving some precious markers of Doom’s life in music and trust Jasmine to determine the next steps for his notebooks.”
The tumultuous fight supposedly began in 2022 when Thompson claimed Ego stole MF Doom’s rhyme books and refused to “relinquish” them over to her. By 2023, Johnson had formally filed a lawsuit against Egon accusing him of copyright infringement, fraud, intentional misrepresentation and unjust enrichment.
No updates were provided whether the contents of the books will be released. But fans surely hope so.
The punk rock community is in deep mourning. Based on reports, the genre has lost a monumental pioneer.
According to Rolling Stone, frontman for the New York Dolls and the last surviving original member of the pioneering punk act, David Johansen, has died at the age of 75.
In a statement provided by a spokesperson for Johansen, they confirmed the musician had transitioned yesterday (February 28). “David Johansen died at home in NYC on Friday afternoon holding hands with his wife Mara Hennessey and daughter Leah,” they wrote. “[David was] surrounded my music, flowers, and love. He was 75 years old and died of natural causes after nearly a decade of illness.”
For years, Johansen battled with several different medical complications seemingly connected to stage four cancer diagnosis and brain tumor discovery. During the time, Johansen’s family sought out the public’s help to raise money for his treatment, which included around-the-clock care as he had been bedridden and at one point incapacitated.
Fans rallied behind Johansen in hopes he would make a full recovery. Now that he has passed, supporters of Johansen have flooded to various social media platforms to reflect on his legacy. Many are sharing positive notes about his contribution to punk music. While others are thinking back on his acting catalog, which included appearance in the movies Scrooged and Let It Ride.
With the 2025 Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame months away, rock fans hope that the ceremony features a tribute to David Johansen as a proper punk-worthy send off.
Netflix has unintentionally resurrected numerous shows. Those include You, a show that languished on Lifetime until it became a streaming hit on Netflix, which picked the show up for four more seasons that will end with Joe’s final stand this spring. That club also includes shows like Lucifer and Manifest, and most recently, Dexter‘s enduring streaming popularity spawned morespin offs on Showtime, and then there’s Suits LA, which recently debuted on NBC several years after USA Network bid farewell to Suits.
The question of whether USA Network’s White Collar can follow suit has been taking some turns. If that happens, unlike with Suits LA, the original-cast magic would be back on board. That’s clearly a bonus, so let’s level with whether this sequel series will happen, and what we can expect if it does.
Plot
The original Matt Bomer-fronted series, in which he portrayed the ultimate charming con artist and thief Neal Caffrey entering the FBI-informing world, landed on Netflix last April and quickly gathered a new audience. That streaming success landed around the same time that Suits LA was announced, so naturally, chatter began on whether the phenomenon could repeat.
So far, the effort remains in the “maybe” stage with promising updates provided by series co-creator Jeff Eastin but no ultimate confirmation yet.
Already though, cast members have raved about the pilot script that would bring back Bomer as Caffrey and Tim DeKay as Special Agent Peter Burke. Tiffani Thiessen portrayed Peter’s wife, Elizabeth Burke, and all three actors have insisted that they are ready to join this project. The show also starred Natalie Morales as Agent Lauren Cruz with Sharif Atkins as Clinton Jones, who has also confirmed that he’s willing to revisit the series. Additionally, these alums have vouched to how the script pays fitting tribute to the late Willie Garson, who portrayed Mozzie, shady friend to Neal and also an informer. Other raves have included the claim that the reboot script feels “organic.”
Any actual hints on plot specifics? Eastin recently hinted to Variety that the open-ended 2014 series finale left a natural opening for more:
“If you get to the finale, with Neal [Bomer] walking in Paris, that was always the setup,” he said. “I always left it open, and as the years passed, it seemed more like a distant hope. But say thank you to ‘Suits’ for starting this streaming trend. They were doing great, and got people watching ‘White Collar’ now on Netflix. That’s doing really, really good. Off of that, it’s like, ‘Hey, let’s do another one.’”
Eastin has been candid about the reboot process phases. 20th TV put a reboot into in-development status last summer, and in September, he posted an image to social media while declaring, “Can report the studio is very happy with the new White Collar script.” In doing so, Eastin highlighted the new title, White Collar: Renaissance, with the pilot episode being “Masquerade.”
As of this month, the reboot is being shopped on the streaming marketplace, according to Deadline’s Nellie Andreeva:
The project is produced by 20th Television, part of Disney TV Studios. Initially, sibling Hulu was considered the logical home for the follow-up as it also carries the White Collar library. I hear the Disney streamer opted not to proceed with the reboot, which now is being taken to the open market.
Of the other major players, Netflix would be a natural fit as the platform also has – for the moment – the original series in the U.S., the UK and Canada.
One thing is certain: Matt Bomer would be wearing the hell out of those suits again, even though he previously admitted that this did not happen easily for him upon initially accepting his role.
Cast
Matt Bomer, Tiffani Theissen, Tim DeKay, and Sharif Atkins are all ready to roll. And ideally, a Willie Garson tribute will hit harder than the one provided by Carrie Bradshaw in And Just Like That….
Release Date
Eastin is raring to go, so once an official green light happens, we can probably expect an even quicker turnaround than the year-long wait for Suits LA liftoff. The catch, of course, is that the pick up needs to happen with a streaming service. C’mon, Netflix.
Trailer
The first pilot trailer sold the show, and it can do it again.
