Casandra "Cassie" Ventura Fine made a rare public appearance alongside her husband, Alex Fine, at the Season 2 premiere of "MobLand" in London.
The "Me & U" singer and Fine attended the red carpet event Thursday, Sept. 10 at the Odeon Luxe Leicester Square. Ventura Fine wore a structured gray peplum dress with a corset-style bodice, while Fine opted for a black knit sweater and matching trousers.
The premiere brought the couple back to the same city where they attended the show's Season 1 launch in March 2025, when Ventura Fine was pregnant with their third child.
Fine portrays Donnie in the Paramount+ crime drama, which also stars Tom Hardy, Pierce Brosnan and Helen Mirren.

A California appeals court has ruled that Jay-Z cannot sue a personal injury attorney for extortion or defamation.
The musician's bid to sue was in response to a lawsuit that accused him of raping a 13-year-old girl.
In 2024, Tony Buzbee accused Jay-Z, known legally as Shawn Carter, of raping a child alongside Sean 'Diddy' Combs decades earlier, then dropped the case just months later.
Jay-Z denied the allegations and fought back, claiming the lawyer had fabricated the claims to extort him.
In a new ruling, California's Second Appellate District has decreed that the rap icon cannot sue Buzbee for extortion or defamation over the salacious accusations, even if they were quickly dismissed.
"The record contains no evidence Buzbee accused Carter of raping Jane Doe while knowing those statements to be false or with reckless disregard as to whether they were true," the appeals court wrote in a decision obtained by Billboard.

Sean "Diddy" Combs landed a major win in his defamation case against attorney Ariel Mitchell and her client Courtney Burgess, who claimed to have videos showing the music mogul **** ually **** aulting minors and celebrities at his "freak off" **** parties.
New York federal judge John P. Cronan denied Mitchell's motion to dismiss the lawsuit in a Sept. 4 ruling obtained by USA TODAY, giving Combs the green light to move forward with his $100 million legal action.
Combs first sued Burgess, Mitchell and Nexstar Media for $50 million in January 2025 but amended his complaint seven months later seeking an additional $50 million in damages. In the filing, he accused the lawyer of damaging his reputation by vouching for Burgess' allegations and making allegedly false statements of her own, "including that a police report corroborated an accusation of rape against Combs and that Combs had used drug-laced baby oil to incapacitate his victims."

Trigger Warning: ***** ual ***** ault

Diddy secured a significant legal victory in his defamation case against lawyer Ariel Mitchell and her client Courtney Burgess. Burgess made explosive claims about the music mogul, alleging that he had videos showing Diddy ***** ually ***** aulting minors and celebrities.
Mitchell asked the court to dismiss Diddy's lawsuit, but US District Judge John Cronan has declined to do so. The court ruled that her arguments were not strong enough to warrant ending the case. In a September 4 order, the judge stated that claims alleging Diddy ***** ually ***** aulted people and secretly recorded ***** ual partners have "precise meanings that are readily understood," reports TMZ.
Diddy filed the defamation lawsuit on January 22, 2025. The case was brought in a New York federal court and initially sought $50 million in damages. Later, the amount was increased to $100 million. The lawsuit also named NewsNation's parent company, Nexstar Media. Diddy accused them of promoting "outlandish claims" and "baseless speculation." He claimed the statements were designed to satisfy the public's desire for "wild lies."
Mitchell previously spoke to the outlet about the matter, saying, "This is just a pathetic ploy to silence victims and people who stand up for victims. Diddy has time to sue but refuses to accept service for the lawsuits already filed against him. I look forward to countersuing and ensuring the court punishes not only Diddy but also his lawyers who filed this pathetic lawsuit for this frivolous and meritless filing."
Combs is currently serving a 50-month prison sentence after facing charges of ***** trafficking, racketeering, and transportation for prostitution. A court hearing to determine the next steps in the case is scheduled for September 17.

Keke Palmer typically stays out of trouble, but her latest Instagram post has drawn mixed reactions online. While celebrating her birthday, the "True Jackson, VP" actress shared a carousel of photos, including one of her posing with Diddy's sons, King and Justin Combs. In the caption, Palmer shared a heartwarming message, thanking them, along with others, for being there during some of her most precious milestones. Her post prompted some social media users to share their thoughts about her connection to the Combs family, particularly as Diddy remains behind bars following his 2025 conviction.
Palmer celebrated her 33rd birthday on August 26, giving fans a glimpse into her special day with a 20-slide photo dump on Instagram. The carousel opens with a photo of the actress posing alongside Justin and King Combs, with Palmer wrapping her arms tightly around both brothers as she flashes a wide smile at the camera.
"I've known most of these people 4EVER. They still show up for me! So happy spending my birthday with people that believe we deserve to share in happiness with one another," she said in the caption.
"Life is too short not to be in community, I don't need a reason to celebrate with my folks but a birthday will always remind you to show grace and gratitude for where you come from and where you've been, most importantly who you are today. Thankful to God! Another year," she finished.
Palmer's photo caught the attention of her followers, with several taking to the comments to weigh in on her apparent connection to the Combs family.

ATLANTA (AP) — Scottie Scheffler was signing for another bogey-free round when he was curious enough about the par-3 ninth hole at 270 yards. The numbers surprised him and validated his thinking about how hard it was to separate at East Lake for the Tour Championship.
The 87 players on that hole in three rounds had made two birdies and six bogeys. Do the math — he does have a degree from the McCombs School of Business at Texas — and that's 79 pars.
"That seems very high," Scheffler said. "It's almost like let's just skip it at this point. If we're all going to make par, what's the point in playing the hole, to be fair?"
Viktor Hovland and Ryan Gerard got a little separation at the end — Hovland with six putts of 7 feet or longer on the last six holes for a 65 and a one-shot lead over Gerard, who was bogey-free in his round of 66 — but the talk all week has been how bunched the scoring has been.
Cameron Young opened with an even-par 70 on Thursday and was in last place. After 54 holes, Kristoffer Reitan and Alex Smalley shared the basement. They were at 3-under 207.

Gene Deal claims he's being pressured to testify in Duane "Keffe D" Davis' murder trial over the 1996 killing of Tupac Shakur.
During a conversation with The Art of Dialogue, the former Bad Boy bodyguard explained why he believes his testimony is being sought, claiming there is interest in having him establish a connection between Keffe D and Sean "Diddy" Combs.
"They want me to show that Keffe D and Diddy had a relationship," Deal said. "They want me to establish what I know about Keffe D and Puff coercing with each other when they're around each other. Gambling, laughing, drinking, popping bottles, the whole nine yards. That's what they wanted me to do."
Deal stressed that much of what he knows about the circumstances surrounding Tupac's death came from what others allegedly told him rather than what he personally witnessed.

Holly Marie Combs has revealed she has "retired" from acting.
The Charmed star broke the news of her decision to step back from the screen during an episode of her House of Halliwell podcast on 25 August.
"The stuff that I was getting and coming across my desk was just nothing that I was like, 'Oh my gosh, this is really great. I need to do this,'" Combs explained. "And being in, you know, that 40 to 50 range, the job pool gets even smaller and smaller. And I feel like the roles get a little less interesting."
It's been nearly seven years since the Pretty Little Liars actor has appeared in an on-screen role.
The 52-year-old now lives in Washington state with her husband Mike Ryan and her three kids, Finley, 22, Riley, 19, and Kelley, 17, whom she shares with her ex-husband David Donoho.
Spending more time with her family is another reason she's decided to call it quits.

Holly Marie Combs built a career spanning more than 30 years in Hollywood, anchoring hit series like Charmed and Pretty Little Liars. But in recent years, the actress has largely stepped out of the spotlight. Now she's opening up about what pushed her to step back.
Aside from appearing on friend and former Charmed costar the late Shannen Doherty's podcast and popping up as herself in Pretty Little Wine Moms Re-Watch, Combs, 52, hasn't taken an acting job since a guest spot on Grey's Anatomy back in 2019.
On Tuesday, August 25, Scout Taylor-Compton, who played Thistle on Charmed, joined Combs and her cohost, Brian Krause for an episode of their podcast, House of Halliwell. Like Combs, she grew up in the industry. During the conversation, Combs traced her exit from acting back to the pandemic.

Jaguars head coach Liam Coen said last month that the team is expecting running back Bhayshul Tuten to have a big year for them, but Tuten has not nailed down the top spot on the depth chart.
The team released its first depth chart of the year and it shows Tuten or Chris Rodriguez listed in the No. 1 spot in the backfield. Tuten is in his second year with the Jaguars while Rodriguez signed with the team as a free agent this offseason.
Le'Quint Allen, Ameer Abdullah, DeeJay Dallas, and J'Mari Taylor make up the rest of the running back group.
The Jaguars have one other position with a pair of players listed at the top. Ventrell Miller and Branson Combs are joined at one of the team's linebacker spots.

Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence has been through this routine before.
As the team prepares for its first of three joint practices with the New Orleans Saints later this week, there's a question of whether Lawrence will get any playing time in the first preseason on Aug. 15.
It's something he's been through several times in his career, and he isn't focused on when he'll play in the preseason.

With Kentucky Basketball wrapping up its summer practices Thursday, the Wildcats are now taking time to build team chemistry away from the court.
The team traveled to Eastern Kentucky on Friday for its annual retreat, continuing a tradition that has become a staple under coach Mark Pope.
To begin the trip, the players and staff helped to build a gazebo for the ARH Cancer Center in Hazard. Despite the hot and humid conditions, the Wildcats spent the day working on construction and landscaping while giving back to the local community.
One fan, Ray Combs, took to social media to praise the team for its efforts.
"I just want to take a moment to brag on the KentuckyMBB team and the hard work they have done today building a gazebo for the UK Cancer Center here at Hazard ARH. It's hot, it's humid, and these fellas haven't stopped, neither has CoachMarkPope."

Sean "Diddy" Combs is now expected to remain in federal prison nearly one month longer than his most recent projected release date.
Federal Bureau of Prisons records list the 56-year-old music mogul's release from FCI Fort Dix in New Jersey as February 20th, 2028. His previous projection was January 24th, 2028, a difference of 27 days.
The agency has not explained the change or connected it to Combs' reported July altercation with another inmate. Bureau of Prisons release dates are projections and can change as sentence calculations, earned credits and other factors are reviewed.
Combs is serving a 50-month sentence after a federal jury convicted him of two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution. Jurors acquitted him of racketeering conspiracy and two ******* -trafficking charges.
Combs' projected release date has changed several times since he began serving his sentence. Bureau of Prisons records had listed February 23rd, 2028, as his expected release before the date moved forward to January 24th. PEOPLE reported that earlier versions of his federal record included April 15th, April 25th and June 4th, 2028.

Sean "P Diddy" Combs' release date has been pushed back once again.
According to the records of the Federal Bureau of Prisons, the Last Night rapper, 56, won't be released from prison until February 20, 2028, a month after his last release date.
Just last month, his prison sentence was shortened to January 24. However, a recent altercation seems to have affected his release.
TMZ shared Combs got physical with an inmate a few weeks ago after he was reportedly dissed. Prison staff had to separate the men. The rapper was then placed in solitary confinement.
The change to his release date marks the sixth time it has been moved since a New York jury convicted him of transporting prostitutes across state lines for drug-fueled ******* parties. Just two months after the verdict was announced in July 2025, Combs' legal team began pleading for a short sentence.

A very real competition is unfolding at the linebacker position for the Jacksonville Jaguars.
While the thought throughout the offseason was that Ventrell Miller would step into the starting role next to Foye Oluokun, Branson Combs has entered the mix and is pushing for those snaps.
"That's a heated competition in that room," said defensive coordinator Anthony Campanile. "It's about stacking days and continuing to produce. But the guys in there are in a good competition and they're all playing hard."
Each linebacker brings a different element to the Jaguars' defense. John Shipley of Jaguars on SI notes the plays in the run game that Miller has made throughout camp, while Combs has stood out as a coverage defender.
"I think Combs has a narrow lead due to his coverage ability," wrote Shipley, "but it certainly feels like the Jaguars are going to let this battle go down to the wire. .. "Right now, it certainly feels like it is too close to call."

Rapper Sean "Diddy" Combs' planned release date from prison has been moved up by 12 weeks—just two weeks after the disgraced music mogul sold the Miami mansion he once put up for collateral in his failed bid for bail in his ****** -trafficking case.
Combs, 56, was found guilty on two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution in July 2025 and was initially sentenced to 50 months in prison. That sentence was later extended by a month after he allegedly violated multiple rules while behind bars.
In March, Page Six reported that the rapper's release date had been pushed up from June 4, 2028, to April 25, 2028, due to his participation in a drug rehabilitation program that helps inmates reduce the amount of time they spend behind bars.
However, ABC News is now reporting that the release date has been further pushed up to Jan. 24, 2028. No reason has been given for the new anticipated release date, and a representative for Combs declined to comment to ABC News.
This update comes just two weeks after the rapper sold his Star Island mansion for $55 million.

Following the Jacksonville Jaguars' first training camp practice, there were some noteworthy observations made when it comes to a few key positional battles that will unfold over the next month.
At running back, Bhayshul Tuten continues to seemingly have a firm grasp on the RB1 role. John Shipley of Jaguars on SI wrote that Tuten was "the most impressive offensive player" on Day 1 of training camp.
Chris Rodriguez, meanwhile, is back at practice after being sidelined during offseason programs with a foot injury, but he's going through a ramp-up, only participating in individual drills on Wednesday. This allowed Tuten to, again, take the bulk of the first-team reps.
The ****** umption all offseason has been that Ventrell Miller will take over the starting linebacker role following Devin Lloyd's departure -- and that could still be what happens. That said, Miller is going to have to earn that ****** le first.
Second-year linebacker Branson Combs has been pushing Miller for those starting snaps, with Shipley calling it a "true battle."

Jennifer Lopez is feeling humiliated after her first husband, Ojani Noa, gave a bombshell interview about her relationship with Sean "Diddy" Combs, a source tells In Touch.
"J. Lo is very sensitive when it comes to Diddy. His name is totally off limits and everyone in her world knows better than to bring him up," reveals the source. "So the fact Ojani is out there dredging up these old stories and shining a light on that very unfortunate part of her history is infuriating and deeply triggering."
Speaking to The US Sun, Noa, 52 — who was married to the Selena star from 1997 to 1998 — alleges that she cheated on him with Combs, 56, and that he got into a heated confrontation with the rapper at her **** istant's birthday party in 2001.
"Truth is, J. Lo's ashamed she ever dated him and this just underlines to her what terrible judgment she showed at the time," the source says of her two-year romance with Combs, who is currently serving time behind bars after being convicted on two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution.

Sean 'Diddy' Combs was reportedly sent to solitary confinement after he was involved in a fight with a fellow inmate this week.
The disgraced rapper allegedly sparked a brawl inside Fort Dix Federal Correctional Institution, a low-security prison located in New Jersey, after he was insulted by another prisoner.
The inmates reportedly got into a heated altercation and exchanged shoves and jabs before they were separated by prison guards, TMZ reports.
According to the outlet, Diddy was then thrown into solitary, although it is unclear if the other inmate also faced the same fate.
It also isn't clear if Diddy is still there, but his spokesperson said they were "unable to confirm this [report] at the moment" when asked for comment.

As part of our training camp preview, we'll be highlighting one player from each position group to keep your eyes on. In some instances, it may be one of the Jaguars' top players that we'll be watching closely, or it could be a player fighting for playing time or a roster spot.
Up next are the linebackers.
The ******* umption all offseason has been that Ventrell Miller would step into the starting role alongside of Foye Oluokun -- and he very well still could. However, Combs very much seems to be in the mix for that playing time as well.
Following offseason programs, John Shipley of Jaguars on SI wrote that Combs was a "true riser" and that the "expectation" for him should be that he will be competing for the starting job.

Tattooists say "bottomless tattoo" events are devaluing their craft, as removal specialists report growing demand from people wanting tiny tattoos erased.
Chantale Coady-McCombs, owner of Picture House Tattoo Studio in Chippenham, Wiltshire, said the rise of "micro tattoo bottomless brunch studios" had led to more clients needing help to fix or cover unwanted artwork.
The concept allows customers to book a set amount of time with an artist and get as many small tattoos as they want during the session.
BBC News has approached a number of studios offering bottomless tattoos for comment.
Tanya Buxton, owner of Paradise Tattoo Studio in Cheltenham, Gloucestershire said: "It's encouraging irresponsibility."

Between now and training camp, we will be going through the Jacksonville Jaguars' full 90-man roster, previewing each player.
Up next is linebacker Branson Combs, who wears No. 50.

Sean "Diddy" Combs might have scored a reference in Vice President JD Vance's new book, but the politician is not eager to **** ociate himself with the imprisoned music mogul.
Vance was at the Richard Nixon Presidential Library to promote his book "Communion: Finding My Way Back to Faith" on June 25 when he was asked about the inspiration for a chapter named after the Notorious B.I.G's hit posthumous single featuring Combs, "Mo Money Mo Problems."
"I'm a millennial, so I believe that's the wisdom of the great Christian theologian P Diddy, who as we found out in the last couple of years is very much not a Christian or a theologian," the vice president joked. "I'm going to get in trouble for all kinds of things. That will be one of them. That will be in an attack ad at some point in the future."

The release date for imprisoned rap mogul Sean "Diddy" Combs has once again been moved up, with Feb. 23, 2028, now penciled in as the day the fallen hip-hop star leaves federal lockup in New Jersey, after he was sentenced to 50 months for Mann Act violations last year.
This latest updated release date, which appears on the Federal Bureau of Prisons website for the rapper, marks the second time that Combs' prison exit has been revised. His lawyers are battling the guilty verdict he received at his jury trial last summer on two counts of transportation for prostitution. The new February date is four months before his original release date of June 4, 2028, and weeks before his most recently adjusted date of April 15, 2028.

The FIFA World Cup has arrived in North America with six games slated for downtown Seattle, and a lineup of "Fan Zone" events and watch parties in Bremerton's Quincy Square.
The Bremerton Fan Zone is one of nine locations across the state named as official sites to gather during the event, which kicked off with Mexico's win over South Africa on June 11 in Mexico City. Games will be played in 16 cities across the United States, Canada and Mexico, including Seattle, where four group-stage and two knock-out round games will be played, including the U.S. men's national team hosting Australia on June 19.
The Quincy Square site, at Fourth Street and Washington Avenue, just a few blocks from the ferry terminal, has been turned into a large public area for watching games that happen in Seattle as well as a few bonus events. The Fan Zone features a 20-foot LED outdoor screen set up at the new bandstand along Fourth Street, an outdoor beer garden, food trucks and certain themed days that will function as community events beyond just soccer.
"These events are intentionally designed to be immersive, high-energy, and welcoming," Jessica Combs, Executive Director of the Downtown Bremerton ******* ociation, said in a statement. "By combining global sport with local programming and partnerships, we’re creating experiences that feel authentic to Bremerton while welcoming the world."
Eight FIFA watch parties are now scheduled and the first kicked off on Friday, June 12, and others for the World Cup's final matches could be added. World Cup games in Seattle will be held June 15 (Belgium-Egypt), June 19 (U.S.-Australia), June 24 (Qatar-Bosnia-Herzegovina), June 26 (Egypt-Iran), July 1 (round of 32) and July 6 (round of 16). The fan zone opens two hours before every match's kickoff.

Disgraced hip-hop mogul Sean "Diddy" Combs, convicted last year for prostitution-related offenses, is being hit with another series of allegations that he **** ually **** aulted a minor.
In a lawsuit filed this week in California, an unidentified former child actor accused Combs of **** ually **** aulting him during a networking event in Hollywood Hills in May 2007.
"Defendant Combs' conduct ... was outrageous, intended to terrorize and cause him emotional distress, and did in fact cause him emotional distress. This **** ault was so extreme as to go beyond the bound of decency and be regarded intolerable by civilized society," the lawsuit stated.
A spokesman for Combs, now serving a 50-month prison sentence, called the allegations "false and ridiculous."
"He's just another hater in a long list of people trying to get in on the money gravy train encouraged by personal injury lawyers. Mr. Combs has never **** ually **** aulted anyone--and that includes any child! These allegations will be disproved like all the rest," said Juda Engelmayer, a Combs representative.

Cassie Ventura's legal fight with former male escort Clayton Howard has taken another turn, this time through someone from Howard's own past.
According to TMZ, an ex-girlfriend of Howard contacted Cassie's team and offered information as the singer fights to dismiss his federal lawsuit. Howard is suing Cassie and Sean "Diddy" Combs, alleging that they hired him for ***** ual encounters tied to the "freak offs" that became central to Combs' criminal case.
The new development does not decide the case, and none of Howard's claims against Cassie has been proven in court. It does, however, give Cassie's lawyers another piece of information as they argue that Howard's lawsuit should be thrown out.
TMZ reported that Francyna Evins, described as Howard's ex-girlfriend, contacted Cassie's team after hearing about his lawsuit. A source connected to the situation told the outlet that Evins offered information about Howard and his litigation history.
Evins has reportedly been involved in her own court dispute with Howard. According to TMZ, she told Cassie's team that Howard had a history of filing lawsuits she described as meritless.
