#RHOA: Star Eva Marcille Sued By Her Homeowners Association For Alleged Violations
Eva's lawyer, Michael T. Sterling, tells TMZ ... “Let me be absolutely clear: Eva Marcille Sterling is NOT going to lose her home over weeds in her lawn or a vehicle parked outside her residence. Period."
Michael continues, "I intend to fight this HOA at every turn to protect her property, defend her rights, and hold those responsible accountable. No homeowners association should be allowed to weaponize fines, fees, and liens to intimidate homeowners, particularly over minor violations that should never escalate into a threat against someone’s home."
Eva's attorney adds, "Georgia has already sent a clear message with the passage of the Georgia Property Owners’ Bill of Rights Act: homeowners deserve protection from HOA overreach, abusive enforcement practices, and the misuse of fines, fees, and liens. This legislation represents an important step toward greater transparency and accountability, and I intend to pursue every legal remedy available to ensure Eva’s rights are protected."
"This is about more than one homeowner," Michael points out. "It is about protecting the fundamental right to homeownership and ensuring that homeowners associations are not permitted to abuse their authority or use their power to harass and intimidate the very people they are supposed to serve."
Eva's lawyer ended by saying, "Eva will not be bullied, intimidated, or threatened out of her home. We will challenge every improper action, demand accountability, and fight this matter as far as the law allows. They picked the wrong homeowner to push around, and they picked the wrong attorney to stand in her way.”
'Real Housewives of Atlanta' alum Eva Marcille is being dragged to court for allegedly being an awful neighbor ... and her homeowners association is behind the legal action.
According to a new lawsuit, obtained by TMZ, the HOA where Eva owns a 5-bedroom, 5-bathroom mansion worth $1.8 million in Atlanta claims the reality star has received numerous notices about violations of the neighborhood's maintenance standards.
The HOA claims Eva has been dinged for failing to treat weeds, mow the lawn, remove inoperable cars from the driveway, maintain current registration, and keep trash cans out of public view.
According to the suit, Eva was given sufficient opportunity to make changes and get into compliance but has failed to do so.
Now, the HOA is seeking more than $22K in past assessments and fines from the reality star ... and it wants the judge to order her to clean up the issues and comply with the maintenance standards ASAP.
Eva has yet to respond to the lawsuit.

#MusicNews: Posthumous D’Angelo Album in the Works With Six Tracks Completed
A posthumous album from D’Angelo is in development, with six tracks completed as his family reviews a vault of unreleased recordings from the late neo-soul pioneer.
Luther Archer, D’Angelo‘s brother confirmed the project, noting that additional music is still available for potential future releases.
“We’ve got an album coming out,” Archer stated. “There are six tracks [so far]. But then we have a whole vault of music that’s never been released.”
The singer’s estate is also exploring several long-term projects, including a potential collection of B-sides. Archer indicated that more releases could follow, adding that “there’s several projects down the road.”
Among the archived recordings under consideration are unreleased collaborations featuring Mary J. Blige and Michael Jackson, offering the possibility of previously unheard music from D’Angelo alongside other influential artists.
The upcoming project would mark D’Angelo’s first full-length offering since 2014’s Black Messiah, his acclaimed third studio album.

#HipHopNews: Method Man Finally Hears Wu-Tang Clan’s ‘Once Upon a Time in Shaolin’ for the First Time
Method Man recorded and sent in his contributions for Wu-Tang Clan's Once Upon a Time in Shaolin album, but never listened to the completed version of the notorious album, which was recorded from 2007 to 2013.
That changed in the Friday (Oct. 16) episode of Pablo Finds Out, which hosted a listening of the one-of-one Wu LP in Brooklyn with a select group of people, including Method Man.
"I can see why people would like it. I can see why some people would love it. For me, it had a few nostalgic moments on there. I don't know if that's good or bad," Meth said. "You can tell [Cilvaringz] was emulating RZA's sound as much as possible to the point it got a little mimicky. A bit long sometimes, but that's what producers do, they're like, 'Look what I did.' All in all, I do not hate this album."
The Staten Island native continued: "Ringz got lucky with a lot of them darts because they are so good. My guys sounded really good. [Raekwon] could've stayed off the last joint, though — that's not his pace. Again, I can see why people would like this album. I could see why people would love this album. Cilvaringz did his thing with this album, his production was on par with some of the stuff RZA would do back in the day. I'll say it again, I don't hate it."
Method Man admitted he has a "chip on his shoulder" about the album due to its muddied public history, being passed around from "Pharma bro" Martin Shkreli, to the U.S. government seizing the album and now, art and crypto collective PleasrDAO has ownership of it. However, he went in with a non-biased approach to his first listen and didn't allow the past to taint his review. "We found out that album ain't as bad as I expected it to be," Meth concluded.
At the 39-minute mark of the episode, fans can hear a snippet of one of Once Upon a Time's tracks featuring a smooth verse from Meth. "Never tell on your team or take shorts when you're selling the beans/ Catch a body that's a felony thing and every dream starts with C.R.E.A.M. that's on everything," he raps.
Wu-Tang recorded Once Upon a Time over the course of six years, with superfan-turned-producer Cilvaringz helming the production. He crafted a 31-track double-album with the Wu featuring assists from Redman and Cher.
Looking to challenge status quo of the music industry, Wu-Tang looked to make the album a one-of-one piece of fine art, rather than selling the album commercially. Shkreli, who was a pharmaceutical executive and former hedge-fund manager, purchased the elusive album for $2 million at a 2015 auction, which barred him from commercially distributing the LP for 88 years, until 2103.
Shkreli became known publicly as "Pharma bro" as he came under scrutiny for raising the price of the drug Darapin by 5,000 percent. He was arrested in 2015 for securities fraud and sentenced to seven years behind bars. Once Upon a Time was among the assets seized by the federal government in the $7.3 million judgment.
"Yes, to be honest," RZA told People of accepting Shkreli's involvement as part of the album's lore. "Yes. You got to accept that. Even though it's negative, you got to accept that. Because you know what? Look, maybe there was something negative in it anyway."
In 2021, PleasrDAO purchased the album from the U.S. government for a reported price tag of $4 million to satisfy the judgment against Shkreli.
Once Upon a Time in Shaolin is back in the spotlight thanks to the Netflix documentary The Disciple: A Wu-Tang Fable, which premiered on Friday, and takes fans behind the album's creation with Cilvaringz.

Ticket Broker Used 1,300 Accounts to Make $833K Off One Beyoncé Concert, Say Feds
The DOJ and FTC sued ticket broker REPS & Co. and three executives, alleging they used roughly 1,300 accounts to buy 7,624 tickets for Beyoncé’s 2023 Kansas City concert and made $833,323 in resale profits.
Federal investigators say REPS spent more than $1.3 billion on 18.5 million tickets across at least 83,500 events since 2022, generating at least $120.8 million in profits from high-demand shows.
Prosecutors allege the company used overseas workers, virtual credit cards, disguised IP addresses, thousands of accounts, and an internal “Error Bible” to evade Ticketmaster limits amid a broader federal crackdown on ticketing practices.
Beyoncé fans who struggled to score Renaissance World Tour tickets may have questions after this. Federal investigators allege that a San Diego-based ticket broker used approximately 1,300 accounts to purchase thousands of tickets to a single Beyoncé concert, pocketing more than $833,000 in resale profits.
Now, the Department of Justice and Federal Trade Commission are suing REPS & Co., accusing the company and three executives of running an operation that generated at least $120.8 million in profits.
According to the complaint filed on October 15, REPS purchased 7,624 tickets for Beyoncé's October 1, 2023, Renaissance concert at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City, Missouri. Ticketmaster's purchase limit was four to eight tickets per customer, but federal officials allege the broker circumvented those restrictions by operating hundreds of accounts at once.
The result? Approximately $833,323 in profits from one night of Beyoncé's blockbuster tour. And that was just one concert.
Federal authorities claim REPS spent more than $1.3 billion acquiring over 18.5 million tickets across at least 83,500 events since 2022. The company allegedly targeted high-demand shows featuring artists including Post Malone and Pitbull, then resold tickets at substantial markups. For a 2024 Pitbull concert in Syracuse, New York, investigators say the company used 700 accounts to purchase 5,430 tickets, generating another $120,000 in profits.
The alleged operation went far beyond having employees refresh Ticketmaster. Prosecutors claim REPS hired workers in the Philippines, used virtual credit cards and disguised IP addresses, and maintained thousands of accounts to get around security measures.
According to the complaint, the company even developed an internal troubleshooting guide dubbed the "Error Bible" to help employees work around Ticketmaster's restrictions.
"REPS' entire business model is focused on trying to game the ticket-purchasing system in order to obtain as many tickets as possible to resell at inflated prices to consumers," Christopher Mufarrige, director of the FTC's Bureau of Consumer Protection, said in a statement.
The allegations carry particular weight given the enormous demand surrounding Beyoncé's Renaissance era. The 2023 tour became one of the year’s defining live music events, bringing her celebration of Black dance music, ballroom culture, and queer musical influences to stadiums worldwide.
The tour later became the subject of her concert film, Renaissance: A Film by Beyoncé.
Beyoncé's business moves have continued to make headlines well beyond music. The superstar acquired Moët Hennessy's stake in SirDavis in July, taking full ownership of the premium American whisky brand she launched in 2024.
The company, named after her great-grandfather Davis Hogue, became an independently owned, Black-owned and woman-owned enterprise.
The case also comes amid a broader federal crackdown on ticketing practices. The FTC previously sued Live Nation and Ticketmaster over allegations involving ticket brokers and purchasing limits, while federal regulators have increased enforcement of the Better Online Ticket Sales Act.

Michelle Parker’s ex-fiancé Dale Smith Jr. charged with murder 15 years after “People’s Court” appearance
Dale Smith Jr. is charged with second-degree murder. The district attorney said his charge could be upgraded to first-degree murder if the evidence supports it.
Parker was last seen on Nov. 17, 2011, when she dropped off the couple’s then 3-year-old twins at Smith’s Orlando condominium. Police found her car nearby and her phone was recovered from a lake. Smith denied being responsible for her disappearance. Parker’s body was never found.
On Wednesday, Oct. 14, the OPD released a video that shows Smith being placed into a police car.
“Today, the Orlando Police Department’s Fugitive Unit and SWAT Team arrested Dale Smith Jr., Michelle Parker’s former fiancé, on a charge of second-degree murder,” the caption read.
People said a breakthrough in the case came after “years of investigative work,” including a “renewed, focused effort over the past year.” The OPD didn’t explain what evidence led to Smith’s arrest.
In 2011, Smith and Parker appeared on an episode of “The People’s Court”. He accused her of intentionally throwing her engagement ring over a balcony into a hotel atrium. Smith said he ran down 9 flights of steps to look for the ring. But it was gone by the time he got down there. He sued Parker for $5,000 – the value of the ring.
Parker told Judge Marilyn Milian that Smith was “a mean person, especially when he’s been drinking.” She said all of their problems were caused by his alcoholism.
After hearing both sides of the story, Judge Milian ruled that Smith and Parker must split the cost of the engagement ring. Smith was visibly upset when he walked out of the courtroom.

Diddy Moved To Pennsylvania Prison Amid Contraband And Security Concerns
Diddy has been transferred to a new prison facility in Pennsylvania following reports of a fight and contraband issues at his previous location.
On October 16, 2026, TMZ reported that the music mogul was relocated from FCI Fort Dix in New Jersey to the Federal Corrections Institution in Allenwood, Pennsylvania. This new facility is a low-security prison housing approximately 1,000 inmates, a significant decrease from the 4,000 inmates at Fort Dix. While this change appears to be related to security, the federal Bureau of Prisons has not officially confirmed the reason for the transfer.
A representative for Diddy, Juda S. Engelmayer, highlighted the importance of the rapper’s safety and well-being in a statement to XXL. He noted that the move from one low-security institution to another demonstrates a focus on security and expressed gratitude for the attention given to Diddy’s situation. The representative also expressed hope that he can continue serving his sentence without further disruptions.
During his time at Fort Dix, Diddy reportedly lost 41 days of good time credit and 400 days of commissary privileges because of multiple infractions. Last month, he was placed in the Special Housing Unit (SHU) after an NBC News investigation revealed he had contraband items, including massages, alcohol, and a cell phone.
The report further stated that Diddy was caught on video attempting to use a contraband cell phone. Sources also claimed that he leveraged his money and influence to receive unauthorized perks, such as having other inmates cook for him and do his laundry. These allegations led to several raids by prison staff, during which numerous contraband cell phones were confiscated.
There were also reports that Diddy sustained a head injury during a fight with one of the inmates involved in the contraband situation. However, a spokesperson for the Bureau of Prisons denied that any fight took place, calling those claims false in a statement to TMZ.
Diddy is currently scheduled for release on March 2, 2028.

Ebony reopened its archives for André Leon Talley’s Oct. 16 birthday, revisiting his early-1980s run as a fashion editor who centered Black designers and models in luxury fashion.
After enduring racism at Women’s Wear Daily and W, Talley found a platform at Ebony that embraced his Blackness and brought his work to the family, church community, and Black households that already knew the magazine.
His 1980 features treated Black designers as fashion architects and celebrated models including Pat Cleveland, Beverly Johnson, Iman, Mounia, and Peggy Dillard while confronting colorism, scrutiny, and unequal access.
Before André Leon Talley became one of Vogue’s most commanding figures, he brought his unmistakable eye to Ebony.
The magazine marked Talley’s Oct. 16 birthday by reopening its archives and spotlighting his brief run as a fashion editor in the early 1980s—a chapter that placed Black designers and models at the center of the luxury conversation decades before the wider industry began treating representation as a priority.
Talley joined Johnson Publishing after working at Women’s Wear Daily and W, where his success came with intense racism and discrimination. An invitation from Ebony fashion pioneer Eunice Johnson offered something those predominantly white institutions lacked: an environment that embraced his Blackness instead of treating it as an obstacle.
The job also connected his rarefied fashion career to a publication that already carried enormous weight in the community that raised him.
“My family did not read WWD at all, nor would they even have known where to purchase that publication,” Talley wrote in his 2020 memoir, The Chiffon Trenches. “But they all subscribed to and read the monthly EBONY and JET.”
For the Durham-raised son of the segregated South, joining Ebony meant his work was suddenly reaching his relatives, his church family and Black households across the country. “Finally, I had a job that would make my entire church family and all of my aunts and cousins proud,” he wrote.
He used that platform with intention. In a July 1980 spread, Talley covered Black designers as serious creative forces while confronting the uneven playing field surrounding their work. His reporting addressed their artistic influences, the dues they were forced to pay and the resources routinely denied to them.
Rather than framing Black designers as occasional exceptions inside someone else’s industry, he documented them as architects of fashion in their own right.
Talley carried that same energy into a November 1980 feature on Black models and their growing influence. “Black models have become the perfect expression and image of elegant fantasy, modern dignity, and the new freedom and confidence all Black women have gained over the past ten years,” he wrote.
The piece gave Pat Cleveland, Beverly Johnson, Iman, Mounia and Peggy Dillard their flowers while acknowledging the scrutiny, colorism and limited visibility Black models faced in mainstream fashion publishing.
Talley, an alumnus of the HBCU North Carolina Central University, later became Vogue’s fashion news director and its first Black male creative director.
He also mentored emerging talent, championed Black designers, styled Michelle Obama, and brought fashion history to television through House of Style and America’s Next Top Model.

Air Force Confirms Airman's Death After Rappel Fall at Football Game
An Air Force airman died after losing control during a pregame rappel and falling roughly 170 feet from the Alamodome rafters before UTSA’s game against Navy.
Emergency responders treated the airman in front of 23,297 fans and transported him with life-threatening injuries to a San Antonio-area hospital, where he died.
The game resumed after a roughly 10-minute delay, with UTSA beating Navy 38-34.
An airman has died after falling from arena rafters during a pregame rappelling demonstration before the University of Texas San Antonio played Navy on Saturday (Oct. 17) in San Antonio, the Air Force confirmed.
The airman, assigned to Detachment 2 of the 6th Combat Training Squadron, reportedly lost control while descending from the stadium ceiling roughly 170 feet above the field. The fall happened about 15 minutes before kickoff.
In front of 23,297 fans, the airman slid down the line in an uncontrolled manner and hit the turf. UTSA staff formed a semicircle around him as medical personnel worked for about 10 minutes.
The San Antonio Fire Department transported the man with life-threatening injuries to a San Antonio-area hospital, where he died.
Four airmen were rappelling as part of UTSA's annual Salute to Armed Forces and Veterans game.
UTSA, the American Conference, San Antonio Mayor Gina Ortiz Jones, head coach Jeff Traylor, and quarterback Owen McCown all addressed the incident afterward.
The game resumed after a delay of about 10 minutes. UTSA won 38-34 to move to 6-1 overall and 3-0 in conference play, while Navy fell to 2-4 and 1-3.
The incident is currently under investigation.

Law Roach Sets His Sights on Acting: 'If I'm Terrible at It, At Least I Tried'
Law Roach wants to try a scripted acting role, saying, “If I’m terrible at it, at least I tried.”
Zendaya’s longtime stylist has already appeared as himself in The Devil Wears Prada 2 and Running Point and judged shows including Legendary, Project Runway, and RuPaul’s Drag Race.
Roach’s acting ambitions arrive as he expands his fashion roster with Kim Kardashian and Porsha Williams while continuing to protect Zendaya’s privacy.
Law Roach has dressed some of Hollywood's biggest names, built a career commanding red carpets, and added to his television résumé along the way. Now, Zendaya's longtime stylist wants to find out whether he can hold his own in front of the camera without playing himself.
The Image Architect revealed his acting ambitions at the 2026 InStyle Imagemaker Awards in Los Angeles on Thursday, October 15, telling Variety that he's ready to take a crack at a scripted role. Whether he turns out to be a natural is apparently beside the point.
"When a director sees something for me," Roach said when asked about acting. "I want to try everything. If I'm terrible at it, at least I tried."
Law Roach is ready for an even bigger close-up. The celebrity stylist tells me he "absolutely" wants to try to do some acting: "If I’m terrible at it, at least I tried." variety.com/2026/film/colu… via @variety #justforvariety #redcarpet
And while his client list includes plenty of people who know their way around a film set, Roach isn't confusing proximity to talent with having it himself.
"I've also worked with some of the greatest singers of all time, but that doesn't mean I'm going to try to sing," he cracked.
Acting would be new territory for Roach, but being on camera certainly isn't.
He's already popped up as himself in The Devil Wears Prada 2 and Kate Hudson's Netflix comedy Running Point. He's also served as a judge on Legendary, America's Next Top Model, Project Runway, and RuPaul's Drag Race, where his fashion expertise and outspoken personality have been part of his television presence.
The difference now? Roach wants an opportunity to play somebody other than Law Roach.
His latest ambition comes during a particularly busy stretch for the celebrity stylist, whose growing client roster has recently brought him into both reality television and the Kardashian orbit.
Earlier this month, The Real Housewives of Atlanta star Porsha Williams hired Roach, and the pair appeared together at Schiaparelli's Spring/Summer 2027 runway show at Paris Fashion Week.
That followed his September announcement that Kim Kardashian had become a client, adding another major celebrity to a roster that already includes Zendaya and Céline Dion.
Roach has also been taking his influence beyond celebrity wardrobes. During New York Fashion Week in 2025, he teamed with The Dominick Hotel on a luxury package built around his personal favorites, including designer beauty products, caviar, and Cheddar & Sour Cream Ruffles.
An archival fashion event with What Goes Around Comes Around also brought him alongside influencer Camilla Araujo, prompting fans to push for a collaboration.
Meanwhile, his relationship with Zendaya keeps generating headlines for reasons unrelated to clothing.
Last month, Roach admitted on Outlaws with TS Madison that he deliberately gives conflicting answers about the actress's reported marriage to Tom Holland.
"You don't know if that lady married or not," he said, making it clear that protecting Zendaya's privacy matters more than answering questions about her personal life.

Nia Long Has Fans Ready to Sign an NDA After Steamy Gala Video Goes Viral
Nia Long has fans ready to sign NDAs after a steamy nightcap video she posted on X following the Academy Museum Gala went viral. She also shared photos from the night on Instagram, and between the two, the timeline has not recovered.
Long hit the sixth annual Academy Museum Gala in Los Angeles on Saturday, Oct. 17, in black satin with a plunging cowl neckline under a dramatic feathered shrug. She wore her hair in a sleek middle part bun, finished with bronzed glam by makeup artist @beautybychrisc. The look was pure Old Hollywood, and it fit the room.
After the gala, Long gave fans a closer look at the glam with a short nightcap video on X. The replies filled up fast. Fan after fan joked they were ready to sign a nondisclosure agreement on the spot for one evening with her, while others pointed out that she has looked this good for more than three decades.
Nia Long did not walk in alone. She posed on the carpet with Jaafar Jackson and Tyriq Withers, and was photographed alongside director Antoine Fuqua and producer Graham King. Long played Katherine Jackson in “Michael,” the Michael Jackson biopic that crossed $1 billion at the worldwide box office this year. The gala raised money for the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures and honored Colman Domingo, Charlize Theron and John Carpenter.
The viral moment caps a big stretch for Nia Long. In September, the Hollywood Walk of Fame announced she will receive a star in the Motion Pictures category, with Graham King and Snoop Dogg among the scheduled speakers.
Fans who grew up on “Boyz n the Hood,” “Friday,” “Love Jones” and “The Best Man” have been calling her one of the finest to ever do it for years. One video after one night out, and the paperwork is already getting passed around.

50 Cent Says He’ll Never Work With ‘Power’ Creator Courtney Kemp Again, Accuses Her Of Downplaying His Contributions — She Responds
50 Cent is opening up about his strained relationship with Power creator Courtney Kemp, revealing that he has no plans to work with her again.
During a new interview with Variety, the rapper and television mogul was asked whether there was anyone in Hollywood he had such a difficult experience working with that he would refuse to collaborate with them again.
His response was immediate: Courtney Kemp.
“I don’t look forward to working with her ever again,” 50 Cent said.
He explained that although he doesn’t believe Kemp is a bad person, he feels their professional relationship deteriorated following the success of Power. According to 50 Cent, Kemp began minimizing his contributions to the hit Starz series, despite his involvement in developing its musical identity, pitching the project and helping establish its audience.
The G-Unit founder claimed he produced eight songs for the show’s original pitch, including its theme song, and suggested his celebrity helped get the series off the ground.
“I think she forgot,” he said when asked whether Kemp had minimized his involvement.
50 Cent also alleged that production costs for the original series climbed to nearly $12 million per episode. He criticized certain spending decisions and claimed his approach to subsequent productions helped reduce expenses.
However, Kemp pushed back in a statement to Variety, disputing his recollection of production budgets and emphasizing that she created the series.
She acknowledged that 50 Cent played an important role in bringing Power to television but maintained that he did not write or create it.
