BREAKING: Donald Trump Has Been Found GUILTY On ALL Felony Counts
Donald J. Trump was convicted on Thursday of falsifying records to cover up a sex scandal that threatened to derail his 2016 presidential campaign, capping an extraordinary trial that tested the resilience of the American justice system and will reverberate into November’s election.
Mr. Trump was convicted on all 34 counts of falsifying business records by a jury of 12 New Yorkers, who deliberated over two days to reach a decision in a case rife with descriptions of secret deals, tabloid scandal and an Oval Office pact with echoes of Watergate. The former president sat largely expressionless, a glum look on his face, after the jury issued its verdict.
Sentencing was scheduled for July 11. The felony conviction calls for a sentence of up to four years behind bars, but Mr. Trump may never see the inside of a prison cell. He could receive probation when he is sentenced, and he is certain to appeal the verdict — meaning it may be years before the case is resolved. Still, the jury’s decision is an indelible moment in America’s history, concluding the only one of four criminal cases against Mr. Trump that was likely to go to trial before Election Day.
#RHOA: CHANGE OF HEART? Andy Cohen Open to Shereé Whitfield RHOA Return ‘In Some Capacity’
When Bravo released the official cast roster for Season 16 of Real Housewives of Atlanta, one name was missing. Shereé Whitfield, aka the Bone Collector, was not on the list.
Though she’s come and gone before, Shereé’s unexpected exit caused dismay among fans who felt the OG has more story to share.
Fans have been quick to blame Executive Producer Andy Cohen for under-appreciating Shereé’s role in the cast. But Andy admits there may still be room for the occasional visit by the fashion designer.
Andy really hopes to see Shereé return. Though Andy claimed to be just as “upset” as many fans are to see Shereé pink-slipped, there’s not much he can do about it. Her exit was part of a “cast shakeup” meant to revitalize the show. In addition to Shereé, Marlo Hampton, Sanya Richards-Ross, and Courtney Rhodes were also let go. Kandi Burruss also chose to leave after 14 seasons, although she claims she was asked back.
“I always have hope that we will get a little Shereé coming back,” Andy told Distractify.
“I think that Shereé is one of the cornerstones of that show,” he added. “She’s one of my personal favorites.”
As fans continued to attack the Watch What Happens Live host on social media, Andy suggested that there’s always a chance Shereé could drop by to make a few shady remarks in future episodes. She has his respect and admiration, and he would be open to a visit now and then.
Only two cast members retained their peaches for Season 16: Drew Sidora and Kenya Moore. Porsha Williams is returning, alongside her BFF Shamea Morton, who’s finally earned her peach. Cynthia Bailey is also coming back as a “Friend of” the Housewives.
The Real Housewives of Atlanta is now streaming on Peacock.

Moreover, the upcoming arena run is slated to conclude with another concert in New York. Minaj will perform at the UBS Arena in her hometown of Queens on Oct. 11.
The presale starts tomorrow (May 30), while general ticket sales will go live this Friday (May 31). Peep the entire route below.
Can you believe it? 💕🎀 🎫
PRE-SALE starts TOMORROW & all tickets available THIS PINK FRIDAY!!!
The “Moment 4 Life” creator initially announced that she would be bringing her “Pink Friday 2 World Tour” last week. Taking to Twitter, she wrote, “I was offered a second leg beginning in SEPTEMBER. Sign up now, and [tickets] will go on sale in a few more days… Wow. God is good. Don’t you ever give up. You got this.”
Thus far, the trek has been full of surprises. Minaj brought out several guests these past few months: 2 Chainz for the first Atlanta stop, Big Sean for Detroit, Drake for Toronto, BIA and JT for Boston, and 50 Cent for New York.
It hasn’t been without its setbacks, either. Over the weekend, the Grammy nominee was arrested in Amsterdam on allegations of drug possession. The unfortunate event caused her to postpone her Manchester show, with the new date scheduled for June 3.
“I don’t know when was the last time I felt that low,” Minaj shared on Stationhead yesterday (May 28). “There was one lady there — all the rest were men — and I could tell she had a heart. The treatment was just disgusting, and I wouldn’t wish that on anyone.”
Sean “Diddy” Combs’ Legal Team Addresses ‘Rolling Stone’ Investigative Report
Legal representation for Sean “Diddy” Combs issued a statement to Rolling Stone as the magazine published a lengthy investigative report tracking decades of allegations against the Hip-Hop mogul. In the piece, reported by Nancy Dillon and Cheyenne Roundtree, Combs is accused of violent behavior against women as early as the 1980s when he attended the Washington, D.C.-based HBCU Howard University.
“Mr. Combs cannot comment on settled litigation, will not comment on pending litigation, and cannot address every allegation picked up by the press from any source, no matter how unreliable,” explained his lawyer Jonathan Davis to the outlet after RS sent a list of detailed questions for Combs regarding new and pending allegations.
“We are aware that the proper authorities are conducting a thorough investigation and therefore have confidence any important issues will be addressed in the proper forum, where the rules distinguish facts from fiction.
Speaking to over 50 people over six months, the full report features commentary from Combs’ accusers, former friends, Bad Boy Records employees, and more with some named and contributing under the condition of anonymity.
“Puff is out here acting crazy. He’s beating her,” detailed a former Howard student, remembering the aforementioned alleged attack on a former girlfriend on the college campus. Other former students confirmed the story with the alleged victim denying to comment.
Additional claims exposed in the story include physical attacks against Kim Porter, soliciting women for sex, abusive treatment of employees, and more details from alleged victims who have pending litigation against Combs.
Joi Dickerson Neal, one of several women suing Combs for sexual assault, explained to RS the lawsuit “isn’t about money. It’s about making sure the world sees that this man who rose to the level of an ‘icon’ is actually sick and has left so many victims in [the wake of his] unpunished disgusting behavior for years.”
Cassie Ventura, ex-girlfriend of Combs, filed the first public lawsuit in November 2023. Combs denied all allegations. Earlier this month, a deeply disturbing video, released by CNN, displayed Combs physically attacking Ventura, resulting in the mogul releasing an apology that Ventura’s lawyer called “disingenuous.”
Accusers may soon testify against Combs, taking the matter to criminal courts. As of Wednesday (May 29), reports indicate victims may appear in front of a grand jury in the Southern District of New York as the next step in the Justice Department’s investigation against Combs.
In addition to video evidence corroborating reports, at least one male sex worker has been questioned and interviewed by federal authorities in connection with the uncovered tapes.

André 3000’s Flute Causes Commotion Among Fans At Atlanta Jazz Festival
According to Atlanta News First, fans were excited about seeing Three Stacks live. “Anytime you get a free André 3000 concert, you really just have to take advantage of that,” said one attendee, as another anticipated that the “city would turn up” once the Four Brothers actor hit the stage.
Instead of returning to his OutKast past, the rapper performed instrumental tunes from his latest solo album, New Blue Sun. Per Twitter, one fan was awestruck by the performance and referenced Ye’s “Ultralight Beam” when tweeting, “I saw André 3000; I’m never going to fail.”
However, in a separate viral video, there was slight murmuring from onlookers, as André basked in his newfound, woodwind passion in an apparent improvised set
He reportedly prefaced his performance by saying, “Everything we’re doing — the same way that New Blue Sun was made with me and my brothers. We’re completely making everything up as we go along. We never know what the night is gonna sound like.”
As the video made its rounds across Twitter, many vocalized their dislike for the rapper’s acoustic set.
One felt the problem was with the environment, noting, “I feel like this should be done somewhere with better acoustics and not outside.” Another person faulted Atlanta. “The crowd so confused they don’t know how to take them vibes. They used to toxic music in Atlanta,” they tweeted.
There have been varying reports on whether the father-of-one was playing the flute or clarinet, but either way, the crowd was torn on how to react. The vibe was similar to LL Cool J’s stance on Three Stacks, where he admitted that he prefers André to rap.
“Flutes? Man, come on, bro […] He’s so gifted. So it’s like, come on, B, not the flute. We not gonna lie. … Don’t gas … that man needs to know the truth. He needs to know the truth,” said the Queens native on The Shop.
Regardless of how anyone feels, André is set to co-headline Robert Glasper’s Blue Note Jazz Fest: Black Radio Experience this August.
Lisa Ann Walter On 'Abbott Elementary' Finale And Career Milestone
Lisa Ann Walter revealed that her "Abbott Elementary" co-star Sheryl Lee Ralph had an exuberant response to the season 3 finale, which featured a passionate kiss between Gregory (Tyler James Williams) and Janine (Quinta Brunson). According to Walter, Ralph exclaimed a chorus of "ooh" and "aww" during the table read, much to the amusement of the cast.
Ralph had previously expressed her anticipation for the kiss, saying she wanted it to last forever. Fans also reacted with excitement on social media, sharing their reactions and creating edits on TikTok.
However, Williams, who plays Gregory, has expressed a preference for the platonic dynamic between Gregory and Janine. He believes it's important to showcase a healthy friendship based on mutual respect rather than a romantic relationship.
Despite Williams' view, it appears that the majority of fans support the Gregory-Janine union. Walter also had a positive reaction to the season 4 renewal, sharing that it's the first time she's felt genuinely secure in her acting career.
Walter explained that her role as Melissa Schemmenti in "Abbott Elementary" has allowed her to provide a memorable experience for her children by taking them on their first major family vacation to Italy. She had previously struggled to afford vacations outside of local trips.
The actress noted that she had never felt on solid footing in her career, despite appearing in films such as "The Parent Trap" and "Bruce Almighty." However, "Abbott Elementary" has given her a sense of stability and peace of mind.
Walter acknowledges that her sense of security may be due to her age and the realization that she can't give up on her dreams. She emphasizes the importance of perseverance and taking advantage of opportunities when they arise.
Tamar Braxton Apologizes To Fiancé Over Interview Where He’s Called ‘Colonel Sanders’: ‘You Felt Wronged, I Gotta Respect That’
The 47-year-old singer wrote,“Hurting the person that you love is far worse than being hurt BY the one you love. I’m new to true love and loving myself. I wish for the opportunity to give an apology and be forgiven for it ALL … No matter how much I feel like I was right.. you felt wronged. And i gotta respect that. I’m not embarrassed for being open about how I feel, I’m embarrassed of how I made you feel. I’m sorry.”
This follows a live interview Tamar Braxton did with Carlos King. When the subject of her fiancé, JR, was brought up, Tamar Braxton stated to the crowd,“Y’all do not like that man…”
Tamar and Carlos King erupted in laughter, while the audience chuckled along.
Carlos then appeared to reference JR’s slick gray hair, beard, and mustache, and jokingly said,
“We gotta talk about Colonel Sanders, honey.”
However, after Tamar said “He do not look like that,” she quickly ended the segment on her love life, revealing
“JR and I decided that we would keep out relationship completely private. No matter what the status is.”
Soon after the clip of the interview made its rounds on social media, JR took to Instagram to express his disappointment with some of the perceived shady comments and threatened to tell his “side of the story.
'Michael Jackson Was a Womanizer,' Claims Ex-Bodyguard as He Reveals Bombshell Accusations
Michael Jackson was allegedly a secret womanizer, at least that's what his former bodyguard and longtime confidant Matt Fiddes recently claimed, RadarOnline.com has learned.
Fiddes, a martial arts expert who also alleged he is the biological father of MJ's youngest child Blanket, opened up about the King of Pop's personal life during a recent appearance on the Stripping Off With Matt Haycox podcast.
"Michael Jackson was a real womanizer, but he was suppressed from expressing or showing any kind of interest in women because of his music label," Fiddes said. "They believed it wasn't good for his career and would ultimately impact his female fans."
"We went to great lengths to hide his girlfriends and wives from the public," he added. "He was brainwashed by Motown to not be seen with a girl because if you sing with a girl, your fan base would be gone."
"Michael Jackson was a real womanizer, but he was suppressed from expressing or showing any kind of interest in women because of his music label," Fiddes said.
"Towards the end of his life, Michael started to get more open, which led to the fatal decision to work with Martin Bashir," Fiddes continued. "They hoped it would help him, but it only highlighted his issues with women. In the Living With Michael Jackson documentary, Bashir promised him things that never happened, and the footage was manipulated to fit a negative narrative."
"If you watch the documentary, there’s a part where female fans ask Michael for a hug, and he responds warmly, saying, 'I'll give you more than a hug.' However, Bashir’s commentary overshadowed these moments to maintain the program’s narrative," Fiddes added, going on to assert that the allegations of child abuse may have been financially motivated.
"The guy was into women," he insisted, pushing back against the persistent rumors about MJ's sexuality and behavior. "If you're gonna go after someone and bring them down, child molestation, murder, rape, those are the things. And once you've been accused of that, you're over, aren't you? Michael never recovered from that."
Jackson married Lisa Marie Presley in 1994, but the high-profile couple split a little over a year later. He then married Debbie Rowe, a dermatology assistant who was pregnant with his child, in 1996. They had one more kid together before divorcing in 2000.
Fiddes claimed in 2021 that Jackson also had a short-lived affair with Whitney Houston in 1991. "Whitney practically moved in to Michael’s ranch and they had a fling like any other young couple. But Michael said later he had always hoped the relationship had gone further, and I know he dreamed of marrying her," he revealed at the time.
"They were both a mess, to be honest. They shared what would be their final hugs and Michael begged Whitney to get off the drugs that were destroying her life," Fiddes recalled. "The two of them whispered that they loved each other as they hugged. The emotion was written all over their faces."
Negro Leagues statistics added to MLB’s historical record
Major League Baseball (MLB) officially decided to include statistics from the Negro Leagues -- a move that will acknowledge approximately 2,300 Black players. This included Josh Gibson, revered as one of the greatest catchers of all time, who was previously inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1972. As of today (May 29), he now leads MLB in multiple batting categories, including batting average, slugging percentage, and on-base plus slugging, surpassing the likes of Ty Cobb and Babe Ruth.
Back in 2020, Commissioner Robert Manfred announced that MLB would rectify this historical oversight. "All of us who love baseball have long known that the Negro Leagues produced many of our game’s best players, innovations, and triumphs against a backdrop of injustice," he stated. "We are now grateful to count the players of the Negro Leagues where they belong: as Major Leaguers within the official historical record."
The integration of Negro Leagues statistics into MLB records involved a meticulous review process of examining decades' worth of newspaper clippings, microfilm, and other historical documents to ensure the accuracy of the data. Speaking to NBC News, John Thorn, the chairman of the Negro Leagues Statistical Review Committee, described the MLB's decision as “not only righting a social, cultural, and historical wrong, it’s defining baseball as a game for Americans without exclusion.”
“Baseball is a game of consistency, and it’s also a game of change. We may be slow to change, but when we do, it can be profound,” Thorn added.
Come June 20, MLB will further honor the Negro Leagues with a tribute game at Rickwood Field in Birmingham, Alabama, the oldest professional baseball ballpark in the United States. Participants will wear period uniforms that pay homage to Alabama native and center field legend Willie Mays.
Jerry Seinfeld Says He’s Nostalgic for “Agreed-Upon Hierarchy” and Misses “Dominant Masculinity”
Seinfeld shared the comments on Tuesday’s episode of the Honestly With Bari Weiss podcast, where he said he feels cultural hierarchy has “absolutely vaporized in today’s moment.”
“That is why people lean on the horn and drive in the crazy way that they drive,” he continued. “Because we have no sense of hierarchy. And as humans, we don’t really feel comfortable like that.”
Seinfeld was speaking in connection to his recent Netflix film (and feature-length directorial debut) Unfrosted, which tells the fictionalized origin story of the Pop-Tart and takes place in Michigan in the ’60s. During their conversation, Weiss told the comedian she felt the film represented a nostalgia for “a sense of one conversation, a common culture.”
Seinfeld agreed with Weiss’ assessment. “That’s part of what makes that moment attractive looking back,” he said, adding, “I always wanted to be a real man. I never made it, [but] in that era, it was JFK. It was Mohammed Ali. It was Sean Connery, Howard Cosell … that’s a real man.”
The comedian elaborated on his point saying, “I miss a dominant masculinity. Yeah, I get the toxic thing, but I still like a real man.”
Part of what defines that era of masculinity, Seinfeld continued, was “those movements of style. I like people that have a little style in everything they do.”
He cited Hugh Grant as an example. “He knows how to dress. He knows how to talk. He’s charming. He has stories, he’s comfortable at dinner parties, he knows how to get a drink.”
Grant plays Thurl Ravenscroft, a Shakespearean actor playing cereal mascots, in Unfrosted. The movie is available on Netflix now.
Kim Petras Partners With MAC Cosmetics for New Viva Glam Collection
Kim Petras has partnered with MAC Cosmetics for a good cause! The 31-year-old “Unholy” pop star and Elite actress Danna Paola teamed up with the iconic beauty brand for their annual Viva Glam collection, a line of lipsticks that raises money for charity.
This year marks the 30th anniversary of MAC’s Viva Glam line, which has already raised more than $520 million for charities. To celebrate the big anniversary, the company has elevated the collection in a very special way.
This year’s Viva Glam collection features four different shades of lipstick. One hundred percent of proceeds from each will be donated to charities that are dedicated to feeding women and girls, caring for the environment, protecting the LGBTQIA+ community and funding racial justice.
They are already available on MAC‘s website.
“It took me one second to say yes to a Viva Glam campaign. It was just something that was very present when I was learning about gay culture,” Kim told People, referring to the collaboration as a “princess moment.”
She described the brand a “a lucky charm,” noting that she was wearing the iconic Ruby Woo shade at the Grammys when she notched a historic win.
About the cause, she said: “A lot of my career and my life is very based on I wish we could just treat everybody the same. Not on gender, not on where they’re from, not on how much money they have, not on how they look. MAC agrees. And Viva Glam, which has raised over half a billion dollars, stands for equality: sexual equality, gender equality, racial equality and environmental equality.”
Alexander 'AE' Edwards Breaks His Silence on Travis Scott Fight at Cannes Film Festival Party
Alexander “AE” Edwards is addressing his recent fight with Travis Scott in Cannes.
Last week, the 38-year-old music executive (who is currently dating Cher) and the 33-year-old “Sicko Mode” rapper got into a physical altercation while they both attended the same party after the 2024 amfAR Cannes Gala.
While landing back at LAX Airport in California on Wednesday (May 29), AE broke his silence on the fight.
AE told TMZ that everything’s “all good” now between him and Travis.
“I don’t got no hard feelings. It is how it is, it went how it went, that’s it,” AE continued, before jokingly adding that his bodyguard “didn’t have to work that night.”
As of right now, Travis has not yet publicly addressed the fight with AE.
Snoop Dogg's Wife, Shante Broadus, Set to Open LA Strip Club
Shante Broadus is gearing up to take over the club scene. Although she is known as Snoop Dogg's wife, Shante is more than that; she's a boss lady on a mission to disrupt the club scene. As she prepares to debut The Players Club, a strip club in Downtown Los Angeles, we think there's some respect that needs to be put on her name.
The grand opening for the gentleman's club is slated for May 29 (Wednesday) at its brick-and-mortar location at 800 S Main St, Los Angeles.
According to TMZ, the blue carpet will be rolled out on night one and is slated to be attended by Tiffany Haddish, Too $hort, Big Boy and Cedric the Entertainer. DJ Drama and DJ Sky High Baby will be on deck on the ones and twos.
The "Gin and Juice" rapper has also shown his support for her new endeavors. Earlier this week, he posted a video montage that featured the interior of the club, its dancers, and Shante taking in the moment.
The outlet also reports that auditions for dancers were held over the Memorial Day weekend.
Mayor Apologizes to Kylie and Jason Kelce After Jersey Shore Woman Screams at Them for Rejecting Photo Request
Margate City Mayor Michael Collins has apologized to Jason and Kylie Kelce after a woman harassed the couple during a recent date night in New Jersey.
According to blogger Hugh E. Dillon, Kylie, 32, and Jason, 36, were heading into Steve & Cookie’s Restaurant and Oyster Bar in Margate City, New Jersey on Saturday, May 25 when the woman demanded a photo from the NFL star and his wife.
After Kylie and Jason politely declined to take a photo, the woman "wouldn't take no for an answer" and "started screaming at Kylie," according to Dillon's post on X (formerly known as Twitter).
On May 29, Mayor Collins issued an apology and offered to help the couple redo their date night in South Jersey. "On behalf of the City of Margate, I'd like to formally apologize to Jason and Kylie Kelce for the experience they had in Margate City over the holiday weekend," the Mayor wrote in his statement.
"As a father with young children, I know as well as anyone the importance of a date night with your wife and would like to offer a redo date night with dinner on me," Collins added.
A short video of the incident made its way onto social media, showing Kylie standing her ground as the woman yelled at her.
Kylie can be heard saying “I can smell the alcohol on your breath, you’re embarrassing yourself,” after the woman threatened that Kylie would "never be allowed in this town again," during the heated exchange.
Kylie and Jason have yet to comment on the incident with the woman, but other fans in the New Jersey area have reported pleasant interactions with the Kelce's during recent run-ins.
Dillon said that the couple was "very accommodating" to fans asking for pictures on the beach over the weekend.
And when a woman posted a TikTok about spotting Kylie on a beach walk and deciding to give her her personal space, Kylie commented on the video and said she'd keep her "eyes peeled" for the girl so she could say hello in the future.
Luckily, the unfortunate encounter with the woman didn't keep Jason and Kylie from enjoying their dinner. According to Dillon, the couple "walked right into the restaurant and enjoyed their night," after the incident.
On the May 29 episode of New Heights with Jason and Travis Kelce, Jason said he and Kylie had a great time in nearby Sea Isle with their three daughters over the holiday weekend.
"We went to Sea Isle [New Jersey]. We definitely went to Sea Isle. Went to the beach, had a lot of fun with the girls, ate a bunch of beach food," Jason said.
"Shore is fun. It was good to be out there. It's the first really big weekend of the year. So all the businesses are back up and running. So, yep, it's like you never left," the former Eagles center added
Kerry Washington Joins Cast of ‘Knives Out 3’ Alongside Daniel Craig
Deadline first reported the news, and details about the plot and characters are being kept under wraps.
Rian Johnson returns as writer and director for the film and is producing alongside Ram Bergman. Production is expected to begin soon.
In a post on X, formerly known as Twitter, Johnson announced the film’s title and expressed his enthusiasm for the whodunit genre: “I love everything about whodunnits, but one of the things I love most is how malleable the genre is. There’s a whole tonal spectrum from Carr to Christie, and exploring that range is one of the most exciting things about making Benoit Blanc movies.”
This project adds to Washington’s busy schedule, which includes Netflix’s “Six Triple Eight” and Lionsgate’s “Shadow Force,” both in post-production. She also stars in and executive produces Hulu’s Onyx Collective comedy “UnPrisoned.”
Gabby Douglas Pulls Out of U.S. Championships Due to Ankle Injury, Ending Bid for 2024 Olympic Team
An ankle injury has halted Gabby Douglas‘ 18-month-long quest to return to the Olympics, but the gymnast is not ruling out competing in the 2028 Games.
The three-time Olympic gold medalist announced on Wednesday, May 29, that she has withdrawn from the U.S. Gymnastics Championships due to the injury, which she sustained during training earlier in the week.
“I love this sport and I love pushing my limits,” Douglas, 28, told ESPN. “I hope I can inspire both my peers and the next generation of gymnasts that age is just a number, and you can accomplish anything you work hard for.”
This event was Douglas’ last chance to earn an invitation to the U.S. Olympic Trials next month in Minneapolis, following her eight-year hiatus from competition since the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro.
“I proved to myself and to the sport that my skills remain at an elite level,” Douglas said. “My plan is to continue to train for the L.A. 2028 Olympics. It would be such an honor to represent the U.S. at a home Olympics.”
Douglas was set to be the oldest female athlete in the field in Fort Worth this weekend, where her appearance with Simone Biles and Suni Lee would have marked only the second time that three Olympic all-around gold medalists competed at the same meet.
Her return has not been without challenges. Earlier this month, she withdrew from the 2024 Core Hydration Gymnastics Classic after competing in only one event — the uneven bars — following two falls from the apparatus.
Douglas’ performance at the American Classic last month, where she earned high marks on the vault and balance beam, had qualified her to compete in the championships. However, even then, she shared on Instagram that it “wasn’t my best showing.”
“Well guys… it wasn’t my best showing this weekend but was so happy and grateful to be back out there on the floor doing what I love again,” she wrote. “With anything, there are always kinks to work out, get better, and improve. I’ve never been more excited to get back into the gym and work even harder.”
She added, “Hard days are the best because that’s when champions are made.”
Despite the setback, Douglas remains focused on her future and the possibility of competing in the 2028 Olympics.
