Sean “Diddy” Combs will be sentenced on October 3 for his federal prostitution conviction. He’s been in custody for over a year already. He could face up to 20 years, but prosecutors are asking for 51 months, while his lawyers are hoping for just 21. The judge will make the final call—and probably wish they’d taken a longer summer break.
LAPD detectives are reviewing security footage and dusting for fingerprints after someone broke into Brad Pitt’s L.A. home last month. It happened while he was in Japan promoting his new movie. Police think the suspects may have already left town, but they’re hoping the fingerprints lead to a match. Imagine breaking into Brad Pitt’s house and forgetting to wear gloves. Rookie move.
Blake Lively is set to be deposed next week in her legal dispute with Justin Baldoni. According to TMZ, it’ll just be Blake and her lawyers in the room—no Ryan Reynolds, unfortunately. So, no wisecracks or Aviation Gin this time.
Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom were spotted back together—sort of—on Jeff Bezos’ yacht in Italy. They were hanging out with their daughter Daisy, eating gelato in Capri, and giving a masterclass in chill co-parenting. A source said, “They proved they can still keep things cool post-split.” And yes, that’s a quote and an ice cream pun.

What she needs now isn’t another season—it’s a serious break.
Doc Antle, of Tiger King fame, is finally heading toward sentencing after pleading guilty to animal trafficking and money laundering. He could get up to 10 years in prison.

It’s the final legal chapter in a very strange saga.
A biopic about Ozzy Osbourne is in the works. The script is done, and production may start this spring. Jack Osbourne promises it’ll be raw and authentic. So prepare for wild stories, heavy music, and maybe a few moments that need subtitles.

And finally, the latest Superman movie isn’t exactly flying high with critics. Reviews say it’s heavy on CGI and light on storytelling and character development.
