Tekashi 69’s troubles with the law are long from over. After the rapper’s lengthy trial and subsequent jail stint in 2020, he’s been caught up in several legal complications, including one incident that happened more recently.

According to TMZ, Tekashi was allegedly arrested in the Dominican Republic for assaulting two music producers. Local publishers have shared further details regarding the incident. According to Diario Libre, the brawl occurred on Friday, October 13, when the pair had contact with Tekashi’s girlfriend, Yailin.

Justin Herbert Caught A Pass From Himself To Pick Up A Third Down Against The Cowboys

Justin Herbert is pretty universally viewed as one of the most naturally gifted quarterbacks in the NFL. Blessed with a rocket launcher for an arm with great accuracy and the ability to process the game at a high level, Herbert is very close to reaching that upper echelon of quarterbacks in the league. And on Monday night, we saw that Herbert has another club in his bag: the ability to catch the football.

Herbert and the Los Angeles Chargers played host to the Dallas Cowboys on Monday Night Football this week. During the game’s second quarter with things tied at seven, Herbert and the Charger offense faced a third-and-5 from deep in their own territory. He dropped back and looked like he had a layup to Keenan Allen, but the ball was batted down at the line of scrimmage. But instead of softly falling to the ground, Herbert was able to snag the ball while it was in mid-air, corral it, and run for a first down, as Dallas had no one to keep him from sprinting to the line to gain.

Credit where it’s due, that’s an impressive, heads-up play by Herbert and a good job to pick up the necessary yardage. Having said that, he’s much better at throwing the ball than he is catching it, so we would recommend he keeps doing that.

‘Gargoyles’ May Be Coming Back To Television, This Time In Live-Action Form

When Disney+ launched four years back, some were baffled by some of the company’s more obscure and out-there fare that was now a couple clicks away. Others were stoked to see childhood favorites suddenly available. Among the titles that blew up social media was Gargoyles, the mid-‘90s show about nocturnal creatures who are stone monuments by day, night-time protectors by night. Now fans (probably) have some good news.

Variety confirmed that Disney+ is hard at work on a reboot of the show. It won’t be some animated fare. Instead it will do what the company loves to do, namely remake their back catalogue but as live-action fare. The project comes from Gary Dauberman, writer of the Annabelle, It, and The Nun films, and James Wan’s company Atomic Monster.

Here’s the official logline:

“Based on the cult classic Disney animated series, Goliath is the last of a heroic race of gargoyle warriors who once lived among mankind. Free from a centuries long curse that turned him into stone, Goliath struggles to solve the mystery of his past while watching over modern-day New York City alongside police detective Elisa Maza.”

Gargoyles stuck out from the ‘90s daytime animated pack by being darker than, say, The Gummy Bears, or even Darkwing Duck, which, a few years ago, also had a live-action redo on the docket.

Pink Responded To A Claim That She Flew Israeli Flags During Her Recent ‘Pink Summer Carnival Tour’ Stop

The tensions between the Israeli military and Hamas forces continue to boil over. On October 7, the conflict spilled into the region’s entertainment market when Bruno Mars was forced to cancel his Tel Aviv concert at Park HaYarkon. Now fans have begun to look at their favorite public figures, such as Drake, to speak out about the issue. Some even think they’re seeing support for causes they do not support.

After a video clip surfaced of Pink’s latest Pink Summer Carnival Tour stop, people online believed she was showing her support for Israel by flying the country’s flag onstage. However, Pink took to her official X (formerly Twitter) feed to deny the claim.

Read her complete statement below.

This post will be controversial for some. At this point, breathing is controversial. I am getting many threats because people mistakenly believe I am flying Israeli flags in my show. I am not. I have been using Poi flags since the beginning of this tour. These were used many, many years ago by the Māori people in New Zealand, and because they and the Māori people are beautiful to me, we use them. I do not fly flags in my show in support of anything or anyone except the rainbow flag. That will remain my position. I am a human. I believe in peace. Equality. Love. I am deeply saddened by the state of the world. I pray for all of us.

Mom shares 5 questions to ask your kids after school, instead of ‘How was your day?’

Have you ever picked up your kid from school and asked them, “How was your day?” and they responded with a one-word answer such as “Good,” “Fine,” or “OK”? This all-too-common interaction can be disheartening because, as a parent, you want to know what your child did during the 6 hours you were apart.

Let’s be honest: not every day can be “fine.” There are probably some days that weren’t so great that got glossed over. Or, some beautiful days, but your child didn’t feel like doing the emotional or mental labor of recalling everything.

Yamel Belen, a mother of 5 kids ages 7 to 25, who lives in Tampa, Florida, was tired of hearing the same old responses from her kids, so she started asking open-ended questions to get the ball rolling. She shared her conversation starters on TikTok, and the view has really resonated with parents, earning 740,000 views.


“I really hated getting the ‘It was good’ response to my after-school questioning,” Belen, a registered nurse originally from Brooklyn, told The New York Post. “I wanted to know everything about their lives at school and felt like I was doing something wrong [as a mother].”

“So, I started asking questions that would give me better responses,” she added.

@themotherhoodkit

I really hated getting the “it was good” reaponse to my after school questionining! I wanted to know more, all of it….so I started digging for questions that would give me better responses. Try these and let me know how it goes! . . . . . #afterschoolroutine #schoolpickupfun #schoolpickipline #motherhoodseries #motherhoodkit #motherhoodlife #motherhoodunplugged #bondingwithkids #openendedquestions #motherdaughterrelationships

Here are 5 questions that Belen says will open up some conversation with your kids:

“What made you smile today?”

“Who did you sit next to at lunch?”

“Did you see any acts of kindness today? If so, what were they?”

“Did you see any acts of people being unkind, and if so, what did that look like?”

“What part of the day made you super happy?”

“Remember, these are conversation starters, so they’re meant to have open-ended responses, Which leads you to better conversations with your kids,” Belen added.

Belen says that the conversations opened up the lines of conversation with her elementary school daughters, ages 7 and 9, and her 17-year-old son. “Now I’m getting all the tea,” Belen joked.

Dana Basu, PsyD, a licensed clinical psychologist in private practice at everGROW therapy, agrees with Belen in that asking “How was your day?” will probably cause your kids to draw a blank.

“I love asking my kids specific questions about their school day, which helps point their attention to specific moments,” Dr. Basu tells Verywell Family. “I find that this allows them to be better able to recall stories and moments from their day with me.”

Elizabeth Manly, who currently runs the website Discovery Play With Littles, adds that parents should set an example by sharing about their days, too. Parents don’t have to go on about the adult world of work, either. They can talk about what made them happy or moments of kindness they noticed.

“The more you tell them, the more they will understand how to talk about their day,” Manly said. “Oftentimes, younger kids don’t know how to talk about their day. We forget this is also a skill that has to be taught.”

A Pregame Scuffle Broke Out Between The Cowboys And The Chargers

Monday Night Football features a matchup between a pair of teams that seem to relish never playing in a normal game. The Dallas Cowboys are making their way west for a battle with the Los Angeles Chargers, with a fun storyline being that ex-Cowboys offensive coordinator Kellen Moore is now overseeing the offense in Los Angeles.

Before the game kicked off, tensions boiled over between the two teams. While it’s not 100 percent clear what set this off, it looks like some Chargers players did not appreciate a few Cowboys players running through them while they were getting warmed up. This led to a bit of pushing and shoving, with a bunch of teammates on both sides of things getting involved.

Some other angles of the fracas show just how big this got, with a whole lot of pushing and shoving in the center of things and a number of teammates, coaches, and officials trying to break it up.

The two teams have not played since the 2021 campaign, when the Cowboys beat the Chargers in Los Angeles, 20-17. Dallas enters Monday night’s game with a 3-2 record, but got demolished in their most recent game against the San Francisco 49ers. Los Angeles, meanwhile, sits at 2-2 and are coming off of their bye.

50 Cent Trolled Jada Pinkett Smith With A Post Online To Demand That She ‘Free Will’ Following Her Recent Confession

50 Cent doesn’t back down in the recording booth or on social media. When he’s not brokering a business deal or performing in front of a sold-out crowd, the legendary rapper is maybe browsing his favorite apps for the day’s news. No one is off limits when it comes time for him to provide snarky commentary.

Last month, 50 Cent poked fun at Busta Rhymes for his NSFW onstage antics. Earlier in the week, he shared his opinion on who he believed was involved in Tupac’s murder. He even took aim at himself for his surprise performance at the Super Bowl LVI halftime show. On Sunday, October 15, he decided to troll Jada Pinkett Smith with a social media post, demanding that she “Free Will Smith,” her longtime husband.

In the Instagram post, 50 Cent uploaded a screenshot of her latest confession to The New York Times, in which she admitted to sell illicit drugs when she was a teenager. In the caption, he wrote, “Alright, enough is enough. Free Will Smith. Wtf is going on,”

Pinkett Smith’s admission is one of the stories featured in her latest memoir, Worthy, which will hit book sleeves and online retailers on October 17. Find more information here.

Ben Shapiro’s Movie Company Is Making A Right-Wing ‘Snow White’ To Combat Disney’s ‘Woke’ Live-Action Remake

Conservatives are pissed at Disney. Some are incensed that they don’t support legislation deemed homophobic. Others are up in arms over their forthcoming live-action Snow White, which they claim will be “woke.” (That is, it features a non-white lead.) But one group is going several steps father in their anger.

Per The Hollywood Reporter, The Daily Wire, the conservative media company co-founded by prolifically dunked-on far right brat Ben Shapiro, revealed they’re making Snow White and the Evil Queen. It’s a fit of counter-programming, offering a supposedly more traditional take on the fairy tale made popular by the Grimm brothers, which is now in the public domain.

“It’s our own adaptation of an ancient fairy tale,” said Daily Wire co-founder Jeremy Boreing.

The film stars Brett Cooper, young conservative YouTuber and host of The Daily Wire’s The Comments Section with Brett Cooper.

“I was raised on the original Grimms’ Fairy Tales, so I’m thrilled that we’re bringing this iconic story to life for the next generation!” Cooper explained. “Snow White is such a beautiful character, and I’m honored to be playing her. Like all the best fairy tales, this is a story with timeless values, like love, friendship, and kindness, and I can’t wait to share them.”

This isn’t the first Daily Wire movie. They’ve been in the film business since 2021’s Run Hide Fight, an action movie about a gun massacre at a school. They’re also where Gina Carano wound up after getting booted from The Mandalorian over social media posts seen as anti-pandemic mask, anti-trans, and anti-Semitic.
