It’s been a tough couple of weeks for music mogul Sean Diddy Combs, also known as Puff Daddy and Diddy. Music producer Rodney “Lil Rod” Jones filed a $30 Million Lawsuit, resulting in raids at Diddy’s LA and Miami homes.

New reports suggest that an improbable name has popped into the lawsuit: Rapper 50 Cent’s Daphne Joy. In the lawsuit, she is accused of being a s*x worker, and the allegations are daming.
The twists keep on coming in this Diddy scandal after the mention of high-profile names of celebrities like Prince Harry, Usher, and more. It all started in November of last year when Diddy‘s ex, Cassandra Ventura,...

Two homes owned by Sean “Diddy” Combs were raided by the US Department of Homeland Security on Monday (March 25th) in connection to an ongoing federal sex trafficking investigation. Now, Combs’ lawyer is claiming that officials employed a “gross overuse of military-level force.”
In a statement released on Tuesday, Combs’ attorney, Aaron Dyer, alleges that there was an “excessive show of force and hostility exhibited by authorities,” and that Combs’ children and employees were “treated” poorly. The statement also claims that Combs “spoke to and cooperated with authorities,” and has not been arrested or otherwise restricted by law enforcement.
Dyer’s statement goes on to call the raid an “unprecedented ambush,” and the allegations against Combs in general as part of a “witch hunt.” He concludes by saying that Combs “will continue to fight every single day to clear his name.”

Warning! Contains spoilers for Road House (2024).
Southpaw on Netflix showcases Jake Gyllenhaal's boxing skills and emotional depth, making it a more devastating watch than Road House. Both Southpaw and Road House depict characters facing personal struggles, but Southpaw draws inspiration from Eminem's life and struggles. Viewers who enjoyed Gyllenhaal's performance in Amazon's Road House should watch Southpaw to see his range in portraying two different characters.
A $95 million Jake Gyllenhaal movie, which is available on Netflix for streaming, is the perfect film to watch after the Road House remake. Directed by Doug Liman, Amazon's Road House reimagines the narrative of the eponymous 1989 film by not only giving it a contemporary twist but also adding more depth to some of its main character beats. Although the film was initially met with some skepticism when it was first announced, it has surprisingly received a positive response from viewers and critics.

Dr. Dre set out to prove he’s more than a producer and a rapper in a skit filmed for Jimmy Kimmel Live! that aired on Tuesday (March 19th). While joined by his frequent collaborators Snoop Dogg, 50 Cent, and Eminem, Dre gave the late night host a check-up in a spoof of the long-running ABC drama Grey’s Anatomy called Dre’s Anatomy. Watch the full skit below.
The sketch revolved around Kimmel’s penis — which is apparently lacking in the size department. To open the skit, Dre looks under Kimmel’s hospital gown and says, “What the fuck is this? This man has no penis.”
He calls in Dr. Broadus (aka Snoop Dogg) to take a look with the aid of a magnifying glass. Then, 50 brings in a telescope to help Snoop guide Dre through some impromptu surgery — only to find out that Kimmel came in for a colonoscopy.

Fans of the Power franchise are losing Ghost again — but this time, it’s the series.
Starz has canceled Power Book II: Ghost, with the show’s fourth season to serve as its last. It will be broken into two parts, premiering June 7 and September 6. Watch the teaser above.
The move was prefaced by Starz CEO Jeffrey Hirsch this week when he revealed plans to contain content costs by developing more new shows versus sustaining series longer as they become more expensive.
Using the Power franchise as an example, he said: “You look at the [Power] map and say, ‘Ok, if I take one of those characters out and spin one of those out, I can bring that on to replace the Power show at half the cost.’ Now I’m putting a lot of money right to the bottom line. And I’m really not losing anything in terms of acquisition costs and subscriber viewership,...

Sascha Penn (“Power Book III: Raising Kanan”) will serve as the executive producer for “Origins,” which comes from Lionsgate TV. (It’s unclear whether it will actually be called “Power Book V: Origins.”)
The first “Power,” which debuted in 2014, starred Hardwick as James St. Patrick, a nightlife entrepreneur who is also a massively successful cocaine distributor known on the streets as “Ghost.” He rules that empore alongside his childhood friend Tommy, played by Sikora.

Starz is expanding the Power Universe again with a prequel spinoff series that will reunite Ghost and Tommy.
In the vein of Power Book III: Raising Kanan, which follows the youthful years of everyone’s favorite foe, Kanan Stark (played by Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson), the new series Origin will follow the early years of the beloved duo of Ghost and Tommy’s (played by Omari Hardwick and Joseph Sikora in the Og series).
Fans of Raising Kanan have been asking for seasons when Ghost and Tommy would run into Kanan since the teens met in high school, yet those characters had never been cast. But as Tommy reappeared after Power in Power Book II: Ghost before spinning off into his series Power Book IV: Force, it would make sense if Ghost and Tommy appeared in Raising Kanan before Origins. And to add one more piece of pure speculation on my end,...

Expendables 4 or Expend4bles was the final nail in the coffin for the renowned Sylvester Stallone action franchise that made a name for bringing some iconic stars together on screen. The fourth and latest film in the franchise was a critical and commercial disaster. Adding more to its list of injuries, the film also gave Sylvester Stallone a Razzie for the Worst Supporting Actor.
Sylvester Stallone in The Expendables 4
With his latest Razzie for Expendables 4, Sylvester Stallone has made a record for most Razzie wins by an actor and an action icon. Even after being one of the greatest names in action and Hollywood, Stallone has been a recipient of a record 11 dishonoring Razzies in total. It does not look like any other action star would be able to break the record soon.

With Starz set to become a pure play standalone public company by year end, CEO Jeff Hirsch is out talking up its strong points and how it competes in a crowded streaming landscape — price increases, bundling, and most importantly, he said, containing content costs with a slate of new shows in development as later season series get costly.
“When seasons go from one to two to three to four [seasons], three to four is where the cost really pops because most of the actors get bigger raises, and you have to really manage that. So, you have to have in your portfolio of development shows that can actually replace shows as they get into later seasons,” he said at a Deutsche Bank media conference today, providing one of the most blunt assessments of a practice introduced by Netflix and embraced by other streamers where shows produced under the Cost Plus model...

The Academy Award-winning French courtroom thriller "Anatomy of a Fall" is one seriously chilly movie. It's visually quite cold, taking place in winter in the mountains, and its characters are equally icy. Not even a cover of 50 Cent's "P.I.M.P" played on the typically breezy steel drums can warm it up, but there's one magical element in the movie that manages to make things feel a bit less freezing: the dog Snoop, played by Messi the border collie. Messi is the Mvp of "Anatomy of a Fall," and that's really saying something considering the film's powerhouse performances from Sandra Hüller, Milo Machado Graner, and Swann Arlaud (Hüller is nominated for Best Actress for her role). Messi won the Palm Dog this past year, which is like the Palm d'Or but for dog performers at Cannes, but he doesn't stand a chance of winning any Oscars at the Academy Awards.

Crank up that steel drum cover of 50 Cent’s “P.I.M.P”! “Anatomy of a Fall” has scored the Oscar for Best Original Screenplay. Director Justine Triet and her husband and co-writer Arthur Harari took the stage at the Dolby Theater on March 10 to accept the trophy.
In winning the award, Triet and Harari beat out several other Best Picture nominees to claim the top prize. Also nominated in the category were David Hemingson for “The Holdovers,” Bradley Cooper and Josh Singer for “Maestro,” and Celine Song for “Past Lives.” The sole non-Best Picture nominee recognized in the category was “May December,” which received its sole Oscar nomination for Samy Burch’s script.
The Original Screenplay Oscar is the latest award that Triet’s courtroom drama received during the past Awards season. Triet and Harari won in the same category at the British Academy Film Awards, the Golden Globes, and the French César Awards.

Comedian Chelsea Handler is back at it with another year of skiing in a swimsuit on her birthday.
Handler posted a video of her birthday tradition on her Instagram to commemorate. She is carrying on the tradition that she started last year, but this time she raised the stakes by doing the same routine, plus a cocktail and a joint.

Rappers 50 Cent and Floyd Mayweather have had a long-running rivalry, trading insults and taunts on social media over the years. They’ve also periodically made amends, only to start feuding again soon after. Their latest falling out stems from comments Mayweather made defending music mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs, who currently faces multiple s*xual assault lawsuits.

Power Book V: Influence was canceled by Starz due to the network's shift towards producing more female-driven content, despite the popularity of the Power franchise. The cancellation may also be attributed to the conclusion of Rashad Tate's character arc in Power Book II: Ghost, making Power Book V unnecessary. Fans are left wondering about the future of the Power franchise, with rumors of a potential London-set spin-off, although no official announcements have been made.
In August 2022, fans of the popular Starz crime drama Power were shocked to learn that the network had suddenly canceled Power Book V: Influence. The announcement was made by the newly appointed president of original programming, Kathryn Busby, who informed Variety that the fifth Power series will not be moving forward.

Chris Brown is claiming the 2024 NBA Celebrity All-Star Game is singing one of his most famous songs: Say Goodbye.
The singer said he received an invitation to appear in the game, but a sponsor nixed those plans. Brown has constantly tried to make amends for a domestic abuse incident in 2009 against his then-girlfriend, Rihanna, and has generated other negative headlines from legal issues.
This time, Brown once again faced the consequences of past actions.
“I was asked by the NBA to play in the all star game this year! Only for them to call later and say they couldn’t do It because of their sponsors like Ruffles,” Brown wrote on his Instagram story, as reported on Complex Sports. “At this point I’m sick of people bothering me and I’m tired of living in the f—ing past.

Usher’s performance featured high-energy dancing, strong singing, roller skates and more. Guests including Alicia Keys, Ludacris, Lil Jon, will.i.am, H.E.R. and Jermaine Dupri, and Usher ran through hits like “U Got It Bad,” “Love in This Club,” “U Don’t Have to Call” and “Yeah!”
Collins said he told Usher: “I was like, ‘You got the spirit of Marvin and Michael and James Brown all inside, and all that comes together.’”
“[You’re] watching someone that truly seeks perfection,” Collins adds. “And you get this incredible performer that can sing and dance and captivate an audience, and I think he did all that tonight.

Hello, and welcome to the Scene 2 Seen Podcast. I am Valerie Complex, an associate editor and film writer at Deadline. Today I’m chatting with Power Book III: Raising Kanan star, Patina Miller. As a major talent across film, television and musical theater Miller portrays Raquel “Raq” Thomas on the Starz original series which is coming up on the end of its third season.
Raising Kanan is the third show in the Power Universe. This one is about a young Kanan Stark (played by Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson’s character from the first series) and how he joins his family’s growing and dangerous drug business. It takes place in Queens, New York during the 1990’s.
Raq is the mother of Kanan. To Kanan, she might come across as affectionate, yet on the streets, she embodies the epitome of toughness, navigating the male-dominated world with a blend of coldness, determination,...

It wasn’t long ago that Leslie Fhima got her heart broken on The Golden Bachelor.
She thought she was “the one” Gerry Turner would give his final rose and propose to, but he had a last-minute change of heart and chose Theresa Nist instead.
The Golden Bachelor viewers thought Leslie dodged a bullet after one of Gerry’s ex-girlfriends dropped a bombshell – right before finale night.
And she may have because Leslie has been living it up lately.
She even returned to Costa Rica last month and reclaimed the country where she was dumped on reality TV.
Now, she’s rubbing elbows with celebrities and attending events that she likely wouldn’t have if not for The Golden Bachelor.
