First Impressions
REPLICA By the Fireplace makes a bold entrance with its strong, almost aggressive smoky scent, immediately evoking the image of wood fiercely burning in a fireplace. Warm, spicy clove notes underscore this intense aroma.
At first, the subtleties of pink pepper essence and orange flower absolute might be easy to miss. But as the fragrance unfolds, these delicate notes emerge more clearly, offering a gentle contrast with a berry-like spice and a soft floral hint that gradually becomes more noticeable against the dominant smoky backdrop.
As the fragrance settles, it extends a warmer, more inviting aspect. The initial smokiness, reminiscent of traditional masculine colognes, is complemented by the emergence of sweet vanilla notes, adding a traditionally feminine touch.
This cozy, luxurious scent represents a harmonious balance of two worlds. The shift from a bold, smoky start to a soothing, sweet finish showcases the fragrance’s dynamic character and highlights its unisex appeal, blending traditionally masculine and feminine qualities.

#RHOA: Kroy Biermann Thanks Supporters After Volatile Temper Exposed on Police Body Cam
Kim was typical Kim on the footage, but many found Kroy’s demeanor pretty distressing. We saw a man who clearly had reached his breaking point in the wake of his “destroyed” life. Also, reports said that one of the minor Biermann kids was who called the police. And suddenly, this whole thing seemed a bit less suitable for public consumption. Even their friends have had enough.
As the fallout from the video continues and Kim sells off the couple’s designer duds on Instagram, at least it seems that Kroy’s receiving some support. He recently took time to acknowledge those who’ve made it clear that they’re in his corner.
Having some of your life’s most traumatic moments made widely viewable is already embarrassing enough. But, Kim just added to the spectacle by making an Instagram account solely dedicated to selling off the evidence of their terrible financial decisions.
Kim initiated the sale of various items belonging to both her and Kroy, such as shoes, purses, and wigs, on Saturday via Instagram. Of course, the prices were outrageous for used designer goods.
Her @kimzbcloset profile bio encourages fans to “Shop all things from Kim’s Closet ❤️,” and she adds, “Send me a DM with the item you want, and we will go from there. I appreciate your support.”
Well, I guess that’s one way to try to clear out the McMansion from Hell before it gets foreclosed out from under you.
It seems like Kim continues to be the vaginally rejuvenated ringmaster of this never-ending circus. She is NOT laying low like a normal person would. Has Kim heard of consignment stores?
Kroy, on the other hand, looks to be gaining sympathy. Following Kim’s fire sale of his Louis Vuitton luggage and other stuff, he took to his Instagram Stories on Monday.
“I see You ALL! ❤️,” he posted against a simple black background. It was only a few words, but made it clear that people have been expressing their support for Kroy. Even after his scary outburst was exposed.
Let’s hope this is the winding-down of the saga of Kim and Kroy’s ruinous relationship with high-visibility tribulation. If not for the health of our eye-rolling muscles, at least for the well-being of their undoubtedly hurt and mortified children.
Kim will be on the upcoming season of The Surreal Life. And, Don’t be Tardy and past seasons of RHOA are streaming.
#MusicNews: Beyoncé’s ‘Renaissance’ Cracks Top 5 on List of Top Music Concert Films of All Time
Renaissance: A Film by Beyoncé grossed $1.9 million in its third weekend in U.S. theaters, according to boxofficemojo.com, bringing its total to $30.8 million. That makes it one of the top five grossing concert films in history.
It is far behind the all-time leader, Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour, which grossed $179.2 million in a nine-week run following its release in October. Swift’s film is No. 11 among all films for 2023. Beyoncé’s film is No. 60. That isn’t meant to take the shine off Bey’s film, it just goes to show what a phenomenon Swift’s film was. (Beyoncé and Taylor Swift attended each other’s premieres, a show of mutual respect and support that was heartening to see.)
Beyoncé’s film ranked No. 1 at the weekly boxoffice two weeks ago, becoming the fourth concert film to achieve that feat. Hannah Montana and Miley Cyrus: Best of Both Worlds Concert and Michael Jackson’s This Is It each logged one week on top of the domestic boxoffice. Swift’s film became the first concert film to top the domestic box office for two weeks.
Beyoncé wrote, directed and produced Renaissance: A Film by Beyoncé, which chronicles the development and execution of the Renaissance World Tour, Beyoncé’s 2023 stadium tour in support of her Grammy-winning album Renaissance (2022).
In a piece highlighting the seven best moments of Beyoncé’s film, Billboard’s Kyle Denis noted: “The film provides a rare peek into Beyoncé’s behind-the-scenes process, namely how she runs her ship as the Mother of the House of Renaissance. Over nearly three hours, the documentary treats fans to pristine footage of several nights of the superstar’s record-breaking Renaissance World Tour. Seamless edits showcase the endless variety of haute couture costumes the ‘Break My Soul’ singer flaunted across her 56 sold-out shows, and intimate black-and-white scenes present the Beyoncé her family sees off stage.”
#HipHopNews: Nicki Minaj Goes To No. 1 On Billboard Gospel Chart With ‘Blessings’
Nicki Minaj has had yet another first in her career, scoring her first gospel chart-topper with “Blessings.”
Billboard is reporting that the head Barb collaborated on the song with gospel superstar Tasha Cobbs Leonard, and it hit No. 1 on the magazine’s Hot Gospel chart based on sales, streams, and airplay.
“In the Dec. 8-14 tracking week, “Blessings” garnered 3.1 million official U.S. streams,” reports the outlet. “It also sold 3,000 downloads and arrives atop both Gospel Streaming Songs (where it’s Leonard’s fifth No. 1 and Minaj’s first) and Gospel Digital Song Sales (marking Leonard’s 10th leader and Minaj’s second).”
The pair previously collaborated on 2017’s “I’m Getting Ready,” though it didn’t hit the top of the charts as “Blessings” has done.
This score is just the latest for Nicki Minaj’s Pink Friday 2.
According to Chart Data, Nicki’s latest project has become the rap album by a woman with the highest number of songs to appear on the Hot 100, with 17 of its 22 tracks landing on the chart.
Fourteen of those 17 songs debuted on this week’s Hot 100, with the Lil Uzi Vert-assisted “Everybody” being the highest at No. 26, followed by the Drake collaboration “Needle” at No. 34 and “FTCU” at No. 42.
Other tracks include “Barbie Dangerous” (No. 58), “Are You Gone Already” (No. 60), “Let Me Calm Down” featuring J. Cole (No. 63), “Beep Beep” (No. 64), “Big Difference” (No. 73) and “RNB” featuring Lil Wayne and Tate Kobang (No. 80).
“Super Freaky Girl” previously peaked at No. 1 last year, while “Red Ruby da Sleeze” (No. 13) and “Last Time I Saw You” (No. 23) had also earlier appeared on the chart.
The historic milestone comes shortly after Nicki Minaj broke a separate record on the Billboard 200.
Thanks to Pink Friday 2 topping the chart with 228,000 album-equivalent units in its first week, Nicki now has the most No. 1 albums of any female rapper with three.
She was previously tied with Foxy Brown, who topped the Billboard 200 twice in the 1990s with her solo album Chyna Doll and The Firm: The Album, a collaboration with Nas, AZ, and Nature.
Foxy reacted to the news on social media, congratulating her younger peer for breaking her long-standing record.
“Umm sir! Only Nic could break tha king[‘s] record,” she wrote on her Instagram Stories, while also teasing a comeback of her own: “3rd #1 record dropping 2024.”
She added: “Hella proud. 26 year record is brazy tho. Y’all mean to tell me no bitch broke that shit in my absence! Took twin to set tha bar again!”
Rihanna Attends FENTY x PUMA Launch Party Wearing Her New Creeper Phatty Sneakers
Held at NeueHouse on Sunset Boulevard, ASAP Rocky was also in attendance. According to PEOPLE, he arrived 15 minutes earlier and joined her after she completed her photo sessions and interviews. Other celebrities included Evan Ross and model Slick Woods.
The shoe itself came out in North America with three colorways, including black and blue, on Nov. 30. It was released globally the following day (Dec. 1). Furthermore, the new version of the classic silhouette featured enhanced padding on the upper and a chunky brown sole.
“We took our OG Creeper and made it bigger and badder,” Rihanna shared last month. “When designing the Creeper Phatty, we wanted to reinvent the OG Creeper that was loved by so many. It’s a classic silhouette that has been missed, so its return had to be bigger.”
“The original Creeper changed the game for us. We knew it was time to bring it back. This shoe has universal appeal, and we’ve seen tremendous consumer excitement for the silhouette to return. We are excited to not only be able to build upon the existing silhouette with the Creeper Phatty but also expand our offering to the entire family,” Maria Valdes, CPO at PUMA, added.
Rihanna returned to her role as creative director for the footwear company in September. That same month, they announced the launch of the football-inspired Avanti sneaker.
After stepping away from the brand in 2017, the musician focused on Fenty Beauty and Savage x Fenty, as well as being a mother. She shares two children with Rocky: RZA and Riot Rose.
Mariah Carey Spotted On Solo Outing In Aspen Amid Bryan Tanaka Split Rumors
On Tuesday, December 19, the 54-year-old stepped out and went shopping during her annual holiday trip. He appeared to be in good spirits, smiling and waving to paparazzi while heading for the Louis Vuitton, Gucci and Kith stores. She also gladly posed for a picture with a fan while walking on a sidewalk.
Mariah cut a chic figure in an all-white ensemble for the shopping trip. She donned a form-fitting white top, a white peplum mini skirt, white opaque tights and a pair of platform sherpa-lined knee-high boots. She kept herself warm with a Prada Re-Nylon cropped convertible down jacket that retails for $2,500.
Adding to her stylish look, the R&B diva sported a pair of white Tom Ford Jada oversized sunglasses with pink gradient lens. She also wore a singular diamond tennis necklace and a huge butterfly ring as her accessories.
Mariah is reportedly spending Christmas holidays in Alpen without Bryan, whom she has been dating since 2016. This marks the first time she traveled to Alpen without the creative director, who traditionally joined her during that time of the year.
Bryan has also been absence from her shows. The 40-year-old choreographer was not onstage when she kicked off her "Merry Christmas One and All!" shows at Yaamava' Resort & Casino in Highland, California on November 16 despite having been a fixture on her tours since 2006.
Mariah and Bryan were first romantically involved in 2016 after they began working together professionally back in 2006. They were last seen together publicly in March when the "My All" songstress celebrated her birthday.
Colorado Supreme disqualifies former President Trump from 2024 primary ballot
The Colorado Supreme Court has ruled that former president Donald Trump is ineligible to appear on the state’s presidential primary ballot next year.
According to the 213-page ruling from the Colorado Supreme Court, a majority of the court holds that Trump is disqualified from holding office under the 14th Amendment, and they say that because he is disqualified, it would be wrongful under Election Code to list him on the ballot.
Trump’s Campaign Spokesman Steven Cheung released the following statement after the ruling came down Tuesday:
“Unsurprisingly, the all-Democrat appointed Colorado Supreme Court has ruled against President Trump, supporting a Soros-funded, left-wing group’s scheme to interfere in an election on behalf of Crooked Joe Biden by removing President Trump’s name from the ballot and eliminating the rights of Colorado voters to vote for the candidate of their choice. Democrat Party leaders are in a state of paranoia over the growing, dominant lead President Trump has amassed in the polls. They have lost faith in the failed Biden presidency and are now doing everything they can to stop the American voters from throwing them out of office next November. The Colorado Supreme Court issued a completely flawed decision tonight and we will swiftly file an appeal to the United States Supreme Court and a concurrent request for a stay of this deeply undemocratic decision. We have full confidence that the U.S. Supreme Court will quickly rule in our favor and finally put an end to these unAmerican lawsuits.”
Colorado Secretary of State Jena Griswold also released a statement after the ruling came down:
“The Colorado Supreme Court has ruled that Donald Trump is barred from the Colorado ballot for inciting the January 6 insurrection and attempting to overturn the 2020 Presidential Election. This decision may be appealed. I will continue to follow court guidance on this important issue.”
This ruling is stayed until January 4, and the Supreme Court says if review is sought before the stay expires, it shall remain in place and the Secretary will continue to be required to include President Trump’s name on the 2024 presidential primary ballot until the receipt of any order or mandate from the Supreme Court.
Colorado voters 11News spoke with did not mince words on their feelings about the ruling.
“I think it’s that’s a really dangerous precedent in the nation. Regardless of how you feel about the speech itself, I think it’s a bad day for America,” said Wes Schropp, a voter.
“It is good for democracy to be able to have checks and balances. Having the states be able to check that and to have that opinion come may be a good thing,” said Gunther Wagoner, another voter.
The chairwoman for the El Paso County Republican Party told 11News that the matter should be decided by voters, not the court.
“I would say it’s poor decision. It’s an unnecessary and preemptive decision. It’s also sad because you know when you interfere with an election like that, you don’t always get the results that you think you’re going to get,” said Vickie Tonkins with the Republican Party.
The county’s democratic party said that they support the decision adding that Trump lost the Colorado in 2020 by several points and that he would most likely do the same next year.
“With the judges now saying that Trump committed an act of insurrection, you have to wonder why we are even talking about this. If somebody committed an insurrection, they should not be running for a dog catcher, much less President of the United States,” said Rob Rogers with the El Paso County Democratic Party.
Colorado’s presidential primary is set for March 5th.
Cameron Diaz Disputes Rumors About Jamie Foxx’s On-Set Behavior: ‘Everyone Loves Him’
Speaking on the Lipstick on the Rim podcast, Diaz responded to rumors after Foxx’s on-set medical issue halted filming.
“Jamie is, like, the cheerleader for the entire crew,” Diaz said. “Everybody loves him. We have so much fun on the set with him and he’s just a professional on every level.”
Online rumors claimed that Foxx acted “crazy” and ruined the set. One rumor alleged that Diaz would never film again “because of him.”
“I really hate all of the things that were being said about our set at the time,” Diaz said. “You just want to scream at the top of your lungs, like, ‘What are you talking about?’”
Diaz said some “natural” production hiccups occurred but nothing major.
“Jamie is the best. I love that guy so much. He’s such a special person and he’s so talented, so much fun,” Diaz said. “The hiccups that happened throughout production are the natural kinds of things that happen. But nothing got delayed other than, obviously, toward the end. And that’s something that is not my place to speak about.”
Diaz declined to discuss the details of the incident that ultimately halted filming.
The actress, who stepped back from Hollywood in 2014, stars alongside Foxx in the action-comedy at Netflix. Cameron and Foxx previously worked together on 1999’s “Any Given Sunday” and the 2014 “Annie” remake.
“Back in Action” does not yet have a release date from Netflix.
Jonathan Majors "looks forward to fully clearing his name" following guilty verdict
A New York jury found Jonathan Majors guilty on one count of reckless assault in the third degree and a charge of harassment as a violation. He was acquitted on another charge of assault and one of aggravated harassment. Sentencing is set to take place Feb. 6, 2024 with Majors facing up to a year in prison.
Not long after the verdict was read, Priya Chaudhry, one of Majors’ defense lawyers, released an official statement shared by NBC News. “It is clear that the jury did not believe Grace Jabbari’s story of what happened in the SUV because they found that Mr. Majors did not intentionally cause any injuries to her,” she said, referencing Majors’ ex-girlfriend. “We are grateful for that. We are disappointed, however, that despite not believing Ms. Jabbari, the jury nevertheless found that Mr. Majors was somehow reckless while she was attacking him.”
Chaudhry’s statement continued, “Mr. Majors is grateful to God, his family, his friends, and his fans for their love and support during these harrowing eight months. Mr. Majors still has faith in the process and looks forward to fully clearing his name.”
Taking to Twitter, court reporter Meghann Cuniff broke down the trial’s outcome in an attempt to debunk disinformation on social media.
“Both assault charges related to what happened inside the car and the harassment charges related to what happened outside. He was acquitted on anything having to do with intent,” she tweeted. “This means Majors WAS convicted related to Jabbari’s finger injury. Jury ruled it was reckless but not intentional, but the assault is for the finger injury.”
Cuniff continued, “Majors’ attorney is assuming a lot about jury deliberations when she says jurors didn’t believe Jabbari about what happened because they said no intent. The jury convicted Majors of third-degree assault recklessly causing physical injury and it’s for what happened in the SUV.”
Christian Keyes Says He Became a ‘Professional Runaway’ After His First Foster Mother Made Him ‘Walk Down the Street Naked In the Rain’
In a nearly hour-long video on Instagram, Keyes alleged that the unnamed individual attempted to “climb” into bed with him in a room while he was intoxicated at a party. He added that the man also offered him $100,000 to strip and another actress patted his “equipment.” Though he’s never publicly spoken about these interactions in fear of being blackballed from the industry, his experience with trauma goes back further than his early acting years.
As a child who grew up in the foster care system, the now-48-year-old recalls suffering abuse at the hands of his very first foster mother, Mrs. Keyes. When asked to describe his childhood of “bouncing around” different foster homes between Detroit, Pontiac, and Flint, Michigan, Keyes told Atlanta Black Star, “It was interesting, to say the least.“
The accomplished playwright and screenwriter, who was adopted twice since the age of 3, said there wasn’t much consistency being raised by court-appointed guardians.
“The only consistent thing in some of the foster homes were pencil and paper. So if you’re in a less than wonderful environment, you know, I could create or I could write a place, write myself into a space that was better than what I was experiencing, so that helped,” Keyes explained, noting that writing eventually became his “refuge.”
“You know, a place to mentally escape this or that or child abuse or, feelings of neglect or not being worthy, things like that … and it definitely shaped my storytelling.”
The “Saints and Sinners” star remained mum on why he was placed into foster care but he went on to discuss his upbringing with Mrs. Keyes, who formally adopted him. He described her as an “incredibly abusive” woman who would hit him with a “bat, hammer, broomstick, saucepan, and/or bottle.”
“When the belt didn’t … when it wasn’t as effective as she wanted. When it didn’t make us scream loud enough, she would hold the leather side and beat us with the belt buckle. It gets worse,” he continued. “But it was that kind of environment between eight and 12. So by 9, I started running away. By 10, I was pretty good. By 11, I was a professional runaway.”
Running away became his norm as Keyes learned to fend for himself by stealing or eating out of the garbage cans at McDonald’s and Farmer Jack supermarkets
“Child Protective Services, man, they dropped the ball probably a dozen times. Neighbors complained because she would have, as a punishment, she made me walk down the street naked in the rain at 9 years old to ask a neighbor for a magazine — The Watchtower and Awake — Ask another Jehovah’s Witness family.”
The state of Michigan has been accused of dropping the ball on numerous occasions, with 371 children dying from abuse or neglect in the past decade, according to the Detroit News. Families of the children have accused CPS of not thoroughly investigating allegations, while experts have blamed overworked caseworkers and crowded homes with too many children under one roof.
“It took a couple of decades to build my self-esteem back up and to heal from all that. And it was heavy and painful,” said the singer-songwriter, “but I was so happy to get out of there.”
Keyes began to see better days after a second adoption with another family under Michelle Williams, who had no problem taking care of him without being paid.
“It was wonderful. The family taught me love. Taught me how to be a man. Taught me responsibility,” he stated, adding that he learned discipline from having an “extensive chore list, including cutting the grass, taking the trash out, and washing dishes.
He added that Johnson took him in without any formal paperwork filing, which came much later. Keyes’ upbringing also led him to study social work at Ferris State University, but he ended up focusing more on singing and writing.
“I mean I’ve been in group homes, detention centers, foster homes, and dealt with child abuse and neglect, and I figure I could affect some change on the other side. So, you know, why not?” said ‘The Family Business” star.
Instead of pursuing a career as a social worker, Keyes took the more creative route and dove deeper into his music and his writing. He started doing local stage plays before gaining the attention of media and film mogul, Tyler Perry, whom he’s grown to work closely with over the years.
Perry currently serves as executive producer of Keyes’ “All the Queens Men,” which airs on BET+ through his partnership. He also cast Keyes in his stage plays “Madea Goes to Jail,” “What’s Done In the Dark,” and the blockbuster movie “Diary of a Mad Black Woman.”
Madonna Says She Was in an ‘Induced Coma for 48 Hours’ Due to Bacterial Infection🥺
The singer opened up about her recent health scare while performing in New York on Saturday night as part of her Celebration World Tour
Madonna is sharing new details about her recent hospitalization for a bacterial infection.
The singer, 65, opened up about her June illness that had her admitted to the intensive care unit for several days. She revealed details about the life-changing situation while performing a show in Brooklyn, New York, on Saturday night, telling the crowd that she was in "an induced coma for 48 hours" in June.
She then took a moment to thank her Kabbalah teacher, who was by her side at the hospital. “The only voice I heard was his. I heard him say, ‘Squeeze my hand,' " Madonna told the crowd, according to a fan-captured video shared on X (formerly known as Twitter).
The Grammy winner also gave a shout-out to her friend Shavawn, who was in the audience on Saturday and credited her with saving her life by rushing her to the hospital.
"There are some very important people in the room tonight that were with me at the hospital. There's one very important woman who dragged me to the hospital," she said of Shavawn in the clip. "I don't even remember; I passed out on my bathroom floor and woke up in the ICU ... She saved my life."
During her candid speech to the crowd, Madonna also recounted her first moments upon coming out of her coma. “There were a couple of things I thought about when I first became conscious and I saw my six incredible children sitting around me — by the way, I had to almost die to get all my kids in one room," she quipped, referring to Lourdes, 27, Rocco, 23, David Banda, 18, Mercy James, 17, and 11-year-old twins Estere and Stella.
Madonna's longtime manager, Guy Oseary, announced on Instagram on June 28 that the "Material Girl" singer was recovering in the ICU after developing a "serious" bacterial infection. At the time, he said she was still under medical care but expected to make a "full recovery."
Oseary also shared that she would need to pause all of her work commitments, including her tour. "We will share more details with you soon as we have them, including a new start date for the tour and for rescheduled shows," he added.
The following day, PEOPLE confirmed that Madonna had left the hospital and returned home. "She's feeling better and following doctor's orders and resting," a source said.
Madonna spoke out two weeks later, thanking her fans for all of their prayers and well-wishes. "I have felt your love. I'm on the road to recovery and incredibly grateful for all the blessings in my life," she wrote on Instagram.
"My first thought when I woke up in the hospital was my children," she continued. "My second thought was that I did not want to disappointment anyone who bought tickets for my tour. I also didn't want to let down the people who worked tirelessly with me over the last few months to create my show. I hate to disappoint anyone."
Madonna was able to resume her tour in October, kicking it off in London on Oct. 14. A week later, during a show in Antwerp, Belgium, she told the crowd it was "a miracle" that she was back onstage doing what she loves.
"Less than four months ago, I was in a hospital and I was unconscious, and people were thinking, predicting that I might not make it," she said, according to a video taken by a fan. "So, it’s a f—ing miracle that I’m here right now."
Alec Baldwin escorted by police after heated confrontation at pro-Palestinian rally in NYC
It’s not clear why Baldwin was in the area or what exactly led up to the confrontation at the Manhattan rally.
Video of the incident shows the 65-year-old actor speaking to two or three protesters with a serious look on his face.
At one point he says to one protester, “That’s my business. That’s my business.”
A protester is heard asking Baldwin, "You work for Hollywood, do you condemn Israel?"
“You’ve already made up your mind … every question you’ve got, right?” Baldwin replied. “I’m in Hollywood’s pockets, you said? You ask stupid questions. Ask me a smart question! Ask a smart question!” as he pushed his body into that protester.
Then several police officers surrounded Baldwin and escorted him away from the crowd.
The protester yelled, “Go f--- yourself” and “Why did you even come here?” and Baldwin appeared to yell back, “Shut the f--- up” as he was escorted away.
Neither a representative for Baldwin nor the New York City Police Department responded to requests for comment on the incident.
George Clooney says that starring in 'Friends' didn't bring Matthew Perry 'joy or happiness or peace'
George Clooney says that starring in "Friends" didn't bring his longtime pal Matthew Perry "joy or happiness or peace."
In a new interview with Deadline, the 62-year-old actor opened up about his friendship with Perry, who was found dead in his home in late October.
Clooney said they had known each other since Perry was 16 years old, and added that the late "Friends" actor always spoke about his dream of landing a role on a sitcom.
"'I just want to get on a regular sitcom and I would be the happiest man on earth,'" Clooney told Deadline, recalling Perry's words. "And he got on probably one of the best ever. He wasn't happy. It didn't bring him joy or happiness or peace."
The "ER" star added that it was "hard to watch" Perry struggle and that it came as a heartbreaking shock to eventually find out his friend was using opioids every day.
"And it also just tells you that success and money and all those things, it doesn't just automatically bring you happiness," Clooney said. "You have to be happy with yourself and your life."
In an interview with The New York Times in October last year, Perry revealed that he would fake back injuries and migraines just to obtain the 55 Vicodin pills he needed each day.
"When you're a drug addict, it's all math. I go to this place, and I need to take three. And then I go to this place, and I'm going to take five because I'm going to be there longer. It's exhausting but you have to do it or you get very, very sick," Perry told the Times.
The "Friends" actor had been open about his struggles with alcoholism and drug addiction in recent years, and even detailed his journey in his 2022 memoir "Friends, Lovers and the Big Terrible Thing."
Last week, the Los Angeles County Corner's Office ruled that Perry's death was an accident caused by "the acute effects of ketamine."
Will Smith’s Former Assistant Says He Will Provide Evidence Of Duane Martin Affair If He Isn’t Sued In Two Weeks
“Jada, listen, in two weeks, if you don’t sue me in two weeks, if Tasha K will have me, I’m back here and I’m dropping evidence,” Bilaal said. “You said I extorted you, you said it was a money shakedown, you said a lot of things about me. Jada, you a bald-head liar and a drug addict.”
Previously, Bilaal stated he walked into a dressing room where he saw Smith on the receiving end of anal sex with Martin.
“I opened the door to Duane’s dressing room and that’s when I see Duane having anal sex with Will,” Bilaal said. “There was a couch and Will was bent over the couch and Duane was standing up killing him, murdering him. It was murder in there.”
Draymond Green Enters Counseling, Expected To Be Out Three Weeks
Draymond Green has entered counseling following his indefinite suspension from the NBA. The Golden State Warriors star forward was suspended after hitting Jusuf Nurkic during a game last week.
According to The Athletic‘s Shams Charania, Green will miss the next three weeks, but there is no direct timetable for his return to basketball. “People around Green and the organization said the four-time NBA champion has been understanding and prepared to undergo the process required to return to the team in a full capacity,” Shams said. “Those sources would not reveal the specifics of Green’s counseling out of respect for his privacy.”
In a press release, the NBA issued the suspension by taking “into account Green’s repeated history of unsportsmanlike acts.” Green faces a deduction of $153,941 for each game if his suspension lasts less than 20 games and $202,922 per game if the suspension extends beyond 20 games.
Green spoke to the media and apologized after the game.
“I am not one to apologize for things I mean to do, but I do apologize to Jusuf because I didn’t intend to hit him,” Green said. “I sell calls with my arms … so I was selling the call … and I swung and unfortunately I hit him.
“You guys have known me long enough, if I intended to do something, I am not apologizing. But I did make contact with him, so I do apologize. … It’s a hard hit.”
Charleston White Charged With Animal Cruelty & Aggravated Assault With A Deadly Weapon In Texas
Charleston White has found himself in yet another controversy. On Monday, White was arrested on charges of animal cruelty and aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. While not much is known about what led to this arrest, we do know that White was taken into custody in Tarrant County, Texas. He remains in the Lon Evans Correction Center on a $31,000 bond.
In addition to this latest arrest, White found himself in legal trouble earlier in 2023. He was accused in March of kidnapping Asian women. The FBI got involved in this matter, though it’s unclear if he is facing charges from this investigation. Coincidentally, just days before this situation, White unleashed an anti-Asian rant on Instagram Live. In the disturbing stream, he said Chinese women should be sexually assaulted, and their children should be murdered.
Aside from his legal woes, White has found himself in feuds with Soulja Boy, Saucy Santana, T.I., and several others. Most of his beef stems from his wild remarks in interviews. In recent days, White tried shooting his shot at rapper Cardi B, which will likely find him in another rift with her estranged husband, Offset.
For now, White cannot fire at anyone, as he remains behind bars. No one from his team has commented on this arrest.
