#RHOA: New RHOA Cast Member Pinky Cole Files for Bankruptcy:
Last year, she briefly lost control of Slutty Vegan after restructuring the company to avoid crumbling under a mountain of debt. She successfully bought the company back a few weeks later, but now, she’s right back in another financial nightmare.
Pinky Cole joined The Real Housewives of Atlanta Season 17
According to Fox 5 Atlanta, Pinky filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy just days after Bravo announced her as part of the RHOA Season 17 cast.
In her legal documents, she said that she owes the United States Small Business Administration $1.2 million. On top of that, she also allegedly owes the Georgia Department of Revenue $192,000.
Pinky’s financial statements listed assets of around $3.75 million, which include clothing, cars, artwork, jewelry, and several investment properties in Georgia and Maryland.
As mentioned, this is just the latest financial setback for Pinky. In early 2025, she had to give up ownership of her Slutty Vegan empire amid significant financial challenges. She bought the business back in March 2025, but they’ve significantly scaled back their operations. They went from 14 locations to just five.
Despite the latest unfortunate news, Pinky seems to be taking things in stride. Following the bankruptcy filing, she posted a video to Instagram making light of her financial struggles. The video showed her packing up her suitcase and “moving” out of her home, dog in hand.
“What people think happens after you file bankruptcy,” she jokingly wrote in the caption.
#MusicNews #RIP: Neil Sedaka, Chart-Topping Pop Singer-Songwriter, Dies at 86
Neil Sedaka, the veteran pop singer-songwriter who penned some of the most enduring hits of the 1960s and early 1970s, has died. His family confirmed the news on social media, writing, “Our family is devastated by the sudden passing of our beloved husband, father and grandfather, Neil Sedaka. A true rock and roll legend, an inspiration to millions, but most importantly, at least to those of us who were lucky enough to know him, an incredible human being who will be deeply missed.” He was 86.
Sedaka wrote dozens of No. 1 hits for the Billboard charts, many of which he sang and performed himself, from the cheeky “Oh! Carol,” about his ex-girlfriend Carole King, to the hook-forward favorite “Calendar Girl.” His biggest single, “Breaking Up Is Hard to Do,” earned him a nomination for Song of the Year at the 1976 Grammy Awards. Onstage, Sedaka was cheeky at the piano and even more charming while parading around with dance moves. While his peers crafted personas rife with wild spunk or smooth-talking suaveness, he opted for a goodhearted grin and a vintage sheen.
After dropping his debut full-length, Rock with Sedaka, in 1959, Sedaka went on to release four original studio albums and scored back-to-back hits on the radio. He kept his head further down in the following decade, putting out nine records in the 1970s and reinventing his sound with singles like “Laughter in the Rain,” “The Immigrant,” “Bad Blood,” and “Breaking Up Is Hard to Do.” The bulk of his success arrived in that initial stretch, though, with Sedaka earning 25 million by 1963—roughly half of his lifetime sales.
When the Beatles, the Rolling Stones, and the rest of the British Invasion bands took over the music world, Sedaka accepted that he may no longer have the attention of his local American fans. Instead, he offered up his songwriting skills to other artists—Connie Francis (“Stupid Cupid,” “Where the Boys Are”), LaVern Baker (“I Waited Too Long”), and Dinah Washington (“Never Again”)—and reworked his own hits into other languages, singing in Italian, Spanish, French, German, Japanese, and more to great fanfare overseas.
In his later years, Sedaka continued to push himself creatively: He wrote lyrics for classical melodies by the likes of Chopin and Tchaikovsky for 1995’s Classically Sedaka, penned symphonic pieces like “Joie de Vivre,” and wrote the 2009 children’s album Waking Up Is Hard to Do. Even during the COVID-19 pandemic, Sedaka stayed busy, recording live performances from the comfort of his home to share music with others, near and far.
In a 2020 interview, Sedaka was asked what advice he would give to aspiring songwriters. His answer was simple and to the point: “The advice I give to all aspiring songwriters and performers is ‘Don’t repeat yourself. Develop and grow. Raise the bar. And reinvent your creativity.’”
#HipHopNews: Salt-N-Pepa Make History With NAACP Image Awards Hall Of Fame Induction
The honor adds yet another achievement to the legendary Hip-Hop group’s résumé. In addition to their Hall of Fame induction, Salt-N-Pepa made history as the first female rap group to win a Grammy and earn a platinum certification.
MC Lyte presented the award and took a moment to celebrate the duo’s impact:
“I’m a longtime friend with the group, and I came up with them. They influenced me and so many others in our careers. They showed all of us that we could stand toe to toe with any roughneck.”
When the group took the stage to accept the honor, Salt delivered a lyrical acceptance speech:
“Here’s to my kings and my queens, Hip-Hop and rap fiends. I ain’t talking pipes, I’m talking about rap dreams, I can’t breathe. All I see is hands and white knees, 2025 came and went like lightning, time moving way too fast, it’s frightening.”
Pepa followed with a heartfelt message about what the Hall of Fame induction means to her and the culture:
“When we first started, there wasn’t any blueprint for women like us in Hip-Hop. We were told to compete, we were told to conform. We were told to make ourselves smaller in the room. But we chose to stand together and to stay true to who we are. So this award really is for the women that came before us. IT’s for the women standing beside us. It’s for the women coming next, and it’s for every female MC who was ever underestimated but never silenced.”
Tyler Perry Says $77 Million Sexual Assault Lawsuit From 2nd Accuser Has No Basis It's a Money Grab
Tyler Perry is standing firm on his innocence. Back in December 2025, Boo! A Madea Halloween actor Mario Rodriguez filed a $77 million s3xual battery lawsuit against Tyler. Mario alleges that Tyler made multiple unwanted s3xual advances toward him starting in 2016. This legal action followed a similar lawsuit from Derek Dixon, who has also previously worked with Tyler.
In court docs obtained by TMZ, Tyler slammed Mario’s allegations, saying they have “no basis in fact or law and no merit.” Tyler further claims that Mario treated him like a personal bank after receiving “a very minor role in a single” film.
According to Tyler, Mario only began asserting that their relationship was nonconsensual after Tyler stopped covering expenses such as rent, car payments, medical bills, and other unpaid costs. The filmmaker is now asking the court to dismiss the lawsuit.
‘Supacell’ Actor and Rapper Ghetts aka Justin Clarke-Samuel Sentenced to 12 Years in London Hit-and-Run Death
The sentence was handed down at the Old Bailey this week following an October crash that prosecutors described as reckless and avoidable. According to court testimony, Clarke-Samuel had consumed alcohol prior to getting behind the wheel, with toxicology reports showing his blood alcohol level was approximately 1.5 times over the legal limit. He admitted to drinking three glasses of brandy earlier in the evening.
CCTV footage and forensic evidence presented in court showed Clarke-Samuel driving at speeds exceeding 60 mph in a 30 mph residential zone in northeast London. Prosecutors said he failed to stop at multiple red traffic lights and executed dangerous maneuvers before striking Tamang, who was crossing the street. The impact caused catastrophic injuries, and Tamang died two days later in the hospital.
Clarke-Samuel did not stop at the scene and was arrested the following day. A damaged car mirror found near the crash site was traced back to his vehicle. Although he claimed someone had been following him — which he suggested contributed to his driving behavior — investigators found no evidence to support that account.
In a statement read in court, Tamang’s family described their grief as “hearts broken beyond repair,” calling their son “a precious soul” and stating they could never forgive the loss inflicted on their family.
Through his attorney, Clarke-Samuel expressed “extreme regret, shame and remorse,” adding, “This may be the only chance that I get to apologize. It was truly an unintentional act on my part and I am so sincerely sorry for the suffering and emotional distress that I have caused.”
Beyond music, Clarke-Samuel had recently expanded into acting, portraying the antagonist Craig, also known as Krazy, in Netflix’s Supacell, created by Andrew Onwubolu (widely known as Rapman). The gritty superhero drama centers on a group of Black Londoners who unexpectedly develop superpowers and became a major streaming hit following its 2024 debut. The series also stars Tosin Cole, Nadine Mills, Eric Kofi-Abrefa, Calvin Demba, Josh Tedeku and Adelayo Adedayo.
Season 2 of Supacell had begun filming shortly before the crash. The fate of Clarke-Samuel’s character seemed to be killed but his fate was left ambiguous at the end of Season 1, and it remains unclear how the production will address his absence moving forward.
As a musician, Ghetts built a respected career in the U.K. grime scene, releasing multiple studio albums and collaborating with major artists including Stormzy, Skepta, Dave and Ed Sheeran. His sentencing marks a significant and sobering turn in a career that had recently bridged music and television.
For Tamang’s family, however, the focus remains on the irreversible loss of a son whose future was cut short — a tragedy the court ultimately deemed the result of a fatal decision to drive under the influence and at dangerous speeds.
Zendaya’s mom reacts to claims her daughter and Tom Holland are already married
Zendaya’s mother is weighing in on those wedding rumors with her daughter and Tom Holland.
Zendaya’s stylist and “RuPaul’s Drag Race” judge Law Roach told Access Hollywood at Sunday’s 2026 Actor Awards that his longtime client secretly married the “Spider-Man” star, to which the “Euphoria” actress’ mother addressed on social media.
In a now-removed Instagram Story, Z’s mom, Claire Stoermer, wrote over footage of Law’s confession, “The laugh” with a laughter emoji. But, she didn’t necessarily confirm or deny the nuptials.
Law told Access Hollywood, “The wedding has already happened. You missed it. It’s very true.”
Zendaya and Tom Holland got engaged in 2024 at a family home, according to People.
The couple first met on the set of 2016’s “Spider-Man: Homecoming,” where M.J. (Zendaya) is Spider-Man’s (Holland) love interest.
Zendaya and Tom Holland have yet to confirm the news of their wedding and marriage.
If the rumors are true, we wish them nothing but the best!
Cardi B Demands Tasha K's Financial Records
Now Cardi is demanding to see Tasha's financial records...
Cardi B is demanding blogger Tasha K show up for an examination of her finances in person, and to turn over her bank records ... just months after the two ended their battle over millions of dollars owed, TMZ has learned.
According to docs from Tasha's bankruptcy case in Florida, obtained by TMZ, the "WAP" rapper is demanding Tasha's company produce records relating to her income from YouTube and other social media accounts. Cardi also wants copies of Tasha's tax returns.
The movement comes months after Cardi and Tasha worked out a deal in March 2025, when Tasha agreed to pay off a portion of the $3.9 million she owed the rapper.
The debt stemmed from a defamation lawsuit Cardi brought against Tasha over allegations of drug use and bad behavior.
According to the deal, Tasha said she would pay $1.2 million over the span of five years. Tasha also agreed not to trash-talk Cardi on her social media platforms.
The agreement called for Tasha to turn over financial records every quarter.
Sean Combs' Prison Has Been Sentence Reduced
Last year Bad Boy Entertainment CEO, Sean 'Diddy' Combs, was sentenced to 50 months in prison after his conviction on two counts of violating the Mann Act. Diddy has scored a slight reduction in his sentence...
Sean “Diddy” Combs will be released from prison a month and a half early amid his battle to appeal his four-year sentence.
Page Six can exclusively reveal that Combs’ prison release date has been pushed up from June 4, 2028, to April 25, 2028, according to the Federal Bureau of Prisons. This comes after Combs was accepted into a drug-abuse rehabilitation program in November, which could help shorten his sentence.
Logan Paul Says Floyd Mayweather Still Owes Him $1.5M From 2021 Exhibition Fight
According to Paul, the transaction happened before the fight was finalized for its eventual home at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens, Florida. “He pre-sold the fight using my name and likeness to a company, I think in Dubai or somewhere in the Middle East, for $10,000,000 cash,” Paul said. “We ended up doing the fight in the US with a different company. That’s the company that put on the fight, but he had already sold our fight to someone else for $10M cash.”
Paul went on to claim that his contractual agreement entitled him to 15 percent of that pre-sale revenue. “Our deal was 15%, he smoked me. 15% of $10,000,000 is $1,500,000,” Paul said. “The company that paid him $10M is suing him. I don’t think I’m ever getting the money.”
Paul’s account touches on a well-documented chapter from the lead-up to the fight. Before the bout was staged in Miami, Mayweather Promotions filed a $122.6 million lawsuit against PAC Entertainment Worldwide, a company that had pitched hosting the exhibition in Dubai. Court filings obtained by TMZ Sports at the time revealed that PAC had approached Mayweather’s promotional company claiming it had extensive business contacts in the region and the financial capability to stage an event of that scale.
According to those documents, Mayweather Promotions signed a deal calling for a guaranteed $110 million on a prescribed payment schedule. When the first installment of $30 million was not delivered by its March 2021 deadline, Mayweather’s team backed out and moved the fight to Miami through a separate arrangement with Fanmio Boxing. The exhibition aired on Showtime pay-per-view on June 6, 2021. PAC Entertainment disputed Mayweather’s version of events in its own federal court filing, claiming it was Mayweather who breached the agreement.
The specific $10 million figure Paul cited does not directly correspond to the numbers in the publicly available lawsuit, which referenced far larger sums. Whether the amount Paul described represents a separate transaction, an advance, or a different element of the broader deal structure is unclear.
The payment grievance is not new. Paul has raised the issue publicly and repeatedly since the months following the fight, calling Mayweather a “weasel” on Instagram in late 2021 and telling TMZ in 2022 that he intended to pursue the matter in court. On Andrew Schulz’s Flagrant podcast, Paul previously estimated the outstanding amount at somewhere between $2 million and $5 million. The latest claim narrows the figure to $1.5 million tied specifically to the alleged overseas pre-sale.
The original deal structure for the exhibition reportedly guaranteed Paul a $250,000 base purse plus 10 percent of pay-per-view revenue. Mayweather’s guarantee was reported at $10 million plus 50 percent of PPV revenue. The event sold approximately one million pay-per-view units, which by most estimates would have put Paul’s total earnings in the range of $5 million.
Mayweather has previously pushed back on the nonpayment accusations, telling reporters in early 2022 that pay-per-view money “takes a while” and that he was still collecting checks from fights that took place years earlier. At a press conference ahead of his 2022 exhibition with Mikuru Asakura, Mayweather dismissed Paul’s claims, arguing that if Paul truly had not been paid, he would not have been seeking a rematch. Mayweather has not publicly responded to the latest podcast comments.
For Paul, the $1.5 million appears to be a write-off. His tone on the podcast was resigned rather than combative — a notable shift from the Instagram outbursts and courtroom threats of prior years. Paul has since moved on to a WWE career, his PRIME Hydration business with KSI, and a life based in Puerto Rico. Whether the matter is still being pursued through legal channels is unknown.
Nearly five years after the two men shared a ring in Miami, the financial aftermath of their exhibition continues to play out — one podcast appearance at a time.
Sidney Dorsey, Ex-Sheriff Who Ordered Political Rival Derwin Brown Murder, Dies in Prison at 86
Former DeKalb County sheriff Sidney Dorsey, whose groundbreaking political career ended in scandal after he was convicted of arranging the killing of the man elected to replace him, has died while serving a life sentence. He was 86.
According to a statement from the Georgia Department of Corrections released to local ABC affiliate WJCL, Dorsey died at Augusta State Medical Prison from natural causes. He had spent more than two decades behind bars following his conviction for orchestrating the assassination of sheriff-elect Derwin Brown in 2000.
The case became one of the most notorious political murder plots in Georgia history.
Dorsey served as DeKalb County’s sheriff from 1996 to 2000 and made history as the first Black person elected to hold the position. Before becoming sheriff, he had built a long career in law enforcement and had previously worked on the task force that reviewed evidence related to the Atlanta Child Murders case involving convicted killer Wayne Williams.
While serving on that task force, Dorsey publicly questioned Williams’ guilt. “Most people who are aware of the child murders believe as I do that Wayne Williams did not commit these crimes,” Dorsey once said.
But Dorsey’s legacy would ultimately be defined by events that unfolded years later.
In November 2000, Dorsey lost a runoff election for sheriff to longtime police captain Derwin Brown. Brown had campaigned on promises to clean up alleged corruption inside the sheriff’s office and was preparing to take office when he was killed.
On the evening of December 15, 2000, Brown was shot outside his home in Decatur, Georgia—just days before he was scheduled to be sworn in as DeKalb County’s new sheriff.
Prosecutors later argued that Sidney Dorsey arranged the killing because he feared Brown would investigate misconduct within the department once he took over.
A jury agreed. In 2002, Dorsey was convicted of organizing the assassination and was sentenced to life in prison. The court also handed down an additional 23 years tied to corruption-related charges, including racketeering and violating his oath of office.
During sentencing, Dorsey denied responsibility for the killing. “I do not have the blood of Derwin Brown on my hands,” he told the court.
Brown’s widow, Phyllis Brown, also addressed the courtroom at the time, telling Dorsey that despite the loss of her husband, she did not wish death upon him.
Years later, however, authorities said Dorsey admitted from prison that he had ordered the hit after his election defeat. According to prosecutors, he claimed he attempted to stop the plot before it was carried out but failed to do so.
The killing of Derwin Brown drew widespread attention across metro Atlanta and beyond, often described by investigators as a political assassination tied to a contested election.
Two other men connected to the murder plot were later convicted in federal court of conspiracy to commit interstate murder-for-hire and sentenced to life in prison without parole.
Brown, a veteran law enforcement officer, left behind his wife and five children. Supporters and family members have continued to honor his memory with annual vigils in the years since his death.
Dorsey remained incarcerated until his death on March 2, 2026.
John Tesh Says Dating Oprah Winfrey in the 1970s Was ‘Very Uncomfortable’ in the South
Speaking to Page Six about that time, Tesh described the climate as tense. It was, he said, “very uncomfortable back then for an African-American woman and a very, very white guy” to be seen together.
Both were employed at competing local news stations, grinding through long days in a regional media market that was far removed from the national spotlight they would later command.
Tesh acknowledged that their relationship stood out. “It was unusual in the South,” he explained, noting that he grew up there and understood the social codes that shaped public reactions.
Instead of allowing the scrutiny to define them, he said they developed a private sense of humor about it. After work, he recalled, one of them would joke, “Which restaurant do you want to empty tonight?”—a reference to the visible discomfort their presence sometimes caused.
Despite the friction, Tesh has said he recognized early on that Winfrey possessed rare star power. He remembered that colleagues sensed it too. Covering stories alongside her made routine assignments feel electric.
“We all knew that she was something special,” he said, adding that working the same stories made the job more fun.
However, Tesh downplayed the romantic intensity of the relationship, describing them as extremely close friends. When asked whether Winfrey was a good kisser, he laughed off the question and said he doesn’t even recall them kissing, emphasizing instead the bond they shared.
The relationship eventually faded as their careers pulled them in different directions. Winfrey left Nashville for Baltimore and later Chicago, where she would launch the talk show that reshaped daytime television.
Tesh moved to New York and Los Angeles, ultimately becoming a co-host of Entertainment Tonight before pivoting to a music career, including composing the NBA on NBC theme “Roundball Rock.”
This isn’t the first time Tesh has addressed the relationship publicly. Per CBS News, in 2010, amid renewed attention sparked by Kitty Kelley’s unauthorized biography about Oprah, he confirmed that he and Winfrey “dated for a short time” while working as “cub reporters in Nashville nearly 40 years ago.”
He added at the time that they had even discussed it during one of his appearances on Winfrey’s show and that they “remain friends to this day.”
Kelley’s book, which drew widespread media coverage upon release, painted a more dramatic picture of their relationship. According to the biography, Kelley spoke to a former Tesh paramour, who had a very different take on why they split.
"He said one night he looked down and saw his white body next to her Black body and couldn't take it anymore,” the ex said.
Today, Winfrey has been with Stedman Graham since the mid-1980s. Tesh married actress Connie Sellecca in 1992, and beyond television, he continues to tour and host his syndicated radio program, Intelligence for Your Life.
Alan Cumming Apologizes After BAFTAs Broadcast Racial Slur, Says 'We Were All Let Down'
Alan Cumming has issued an apology after hosting the 2026 BAFTAs.
During the ceremony held on February 22, John Davidson, who has Tourette’s syndrome, could be heard shouting a racial slur from the audience while Sinners stars Michael B. Jordan and Delroy Lindo were onstage.
Additionally, the BBC has faced scrutiny for choosing to air the moment along with censoring other speeches.
“It’s now a week since I hosted the BAFTAs. What should have been an evening celebrating creativity as well as diversity and inclusion turned into a trauma triggering s–tshow,” the Traitors host started his apology in an Instagram post shared on Tuesday (February 3). “I’m so sorry for all the pain Black people have felt at hearing that word echoed round the world. I’m so sorry the Tourettes community has been reminded of the lack of understanding and tolerance that abounds regarding their condition.”
He continued, “The only possible good that could come of this is a reminder that words matter, that rushing to judgement about things which we are not fully cognisant is folly, that all trauma must be recognized and honoured.”
Alan concluded his statement by saying “we were all let down by decisions made to both broadcast slurs and censor free speech.”
“Congratulations to all the artists whose work was overshadowed by the night’s events,” he wrote.
Georgia Father Found Guilty Tuesday for Failing to Secure Gun Used in 2024 Apalachee High School Shooting
Colin Gray, 55, was convicted Tuesday on 27 charges, including second-degree murder and cruelty to children, tied to the September 4, 2024, massacre at Apalachee High School in Winder, about 45 miles northeast of Atlanta. Jurors deliberated for less than two hours before returning guilty verdicts on every count.
Gray showed little visible emotion as the decision was read in court. After jurors confirmed their votes, he was handcuffed and escorted out by deputies. Judge Nicholas Primm did not set a sentencing date, saying “there are a lot of people that need to be notified and have a right to appear.” Gray now faces the possibility of spending the rest of his life behind bars.
Prosecutors argued that Gray ignored warning signs and allowed his teenage son access to an AR-15-style rifle kept inside their home. The couple’s son, Colt Gray, was 14 at the time of the shooting and is accused of killing four people inside the school. He remains in custody, and a trial date has not yet been announced. Those killed were Mason Schermerhorn, 14; Christian Angulo, 14; Richard Aspinwall, 39; and Cristina Irimie, 53.
During closing arguments, Assistant District Attorney Patricia Brooks told jurors, “Christian acted and became a hero. He attempted to push the shooter out of his classroom, and when he was shot, Christian’s last act on this earth was to shut the door to his classroom to protect his friends.”
Testifying in his own defense, Colin Gray said he never believed his son would hurt anyone.
“I never thought that he would even have a thought process of bringing a gun to school or doing any kind of harm to anybody else. Well, on anybody at school,” he said.
The case follows other recent prosecutions of parents linked to school shootings, signaling a growing legal focus on accountability beyond the alleged shooter.
