The twins were joined by their brothers Christian Combs, 27, Quincy Brown, 34, and little sister Love Combs at the fashion show.

Their father couldn’t attend the event because he’s still locked up in Manhattan – even though a jury acquitted him of RICO charges. He was convicted on misdemeanor charges. Judge Greg Mathis said “I’m not sure if that’s fair.”

Hailey was dressed in a pinstriped black skirt set with black pointy toe heels.

Swizz Beatz addressed the divorce rumors in a post on Instagram.

“Everybody knew we was Divorced but us,” he wrote. “We found out on our 15yr anniversary vacation. People rather believe fake gossip instead of the truth because they’re miserable we have nothing to do with that !! Bless up!!”

In 2021, he denied rumors that he was creeping with Carmelo Anthony’s ex La La Anthony.

Well-connected veteran radio host Miss Jones reported that he was sleeping with La La.

Swizz quickly responded by saying his wife’s song “LaLa (Unlocked)” is the only ‘LaLa’ he’s rocking with.

Whoopi Goldberg is half the woman she used to be. The 69-year-old talk show host and comedienne returned to the stage in the UK with two back-to-back shows in London and Cardiff.

Whoopi was spotted leaving Fortnum & Mason department store in London on Friday. She looked thin and frail and her clothes were hanging off of her.

Whoopi previously discussed taking weight-loss drugs when she tipped the scales at 280 pounds.

Her comedy shows were promoted as possibly the last time to see Whoopi perform in the UK. She previously performed in London nearly a decade ago.

Whoopi opened her London show by warning there’ll be no politics tonight. Instead, she cracked jokes about menopause, loss, and what it’s like to be turning 70 on November 13. “I’m not your grandma’s 70. I’m a whole f–king different thing,” she joked.

Whoopi encourages kindness toward those who struggle with their weight every day.

“The View” co-host disagreed with Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s criticism of weight loss drugs like Ozempic and Mounjaro. She accused RFK of “setting folks up for shame.”

“What is the downside of a miracle drug that cuts that much out of the budget?” she asked. “And, if someone’s doctor examines them [and] prescribes the medication, shouldn’t that be the only metric of health care coverage?”

Vivica A. Fox says she didn’t take criticism very well when Quentin Tarantino cast her as Vernita Green in his martial arts film Kill Bill Vol. 1 in 2003.

In a sit-down chat with director Lena Waithe, Vivica recalled when actress Uma Thurman grabbed her and told her not to go off on Tarantino.

Vivica said the experience was “difficult but fun because he would demand a lot of you.”

She continued: “I’ll never forget that we would train Monday through Friday. And then on Friday, he would critique you. And I didn’t like being critiqued negatively.”

Vivica said she “popped off” at Tarantino one day and Uma Thurman grabbed her. “And after we finished, she was like, ‘Please don’t do that again.'”

“I turned into a little b–h and I said, ‘He’s not giving us any compliments and I’m tired of working so hard…’ And Uma said, ‘He can fire you.’ And that was all she had to say. I never complained again.”

Vivica added: “It was a huge learning lesson for me to know my place, play my position and stay in my lane.”

TMZ reported that Ciara Wilson “legally” added “Wilson” to her son Future Zahir Wilburn‘s last name “a few years ago.”

TMZ’s claim seems to be an assumption based on Russell Wilson’s Instagram Story post.

The couple attended the 2025 US Open in Flushing Meadows. In the caption of a photo posted on his Instagram Story, Russell wrote: “Mrs. @ciara Wilson Future Wilson & Sienna Wilson.”

Social media ran wild with the story. Fans speculated that Russell “adopted” little Future.

But TMZ didn’t provide a copy of a court document showing the name change or adoption by Russell.

According to reports, Future Zahir’s father, rapper Future Hendrix did not give up his parental rights. In fact, Future is still paying Ciara $2,800 a month in child support for little Future.

Ciara, 39, and Russell, 36, met in 2014 – weeks after she ended her engagement to rapper Future, 41.

Ciara and Russell announced their engagement on March 11, 2016. They were married at a castle in England on July 6 of that year.

They share three children: son Win and daughters Sienna and Amora.

Caitlin Clark announced she will not return to the Indiana Fever lineup for the remainder of the 2025 WNBA season.

Clark, 23, announced the devastating news on her social media accounts on Thursday night.

“I had hoped to share a better update, but I will not be returning to play this season,” she wrote. “Disappointed isn’t a big enough word.”

Clark’s second year was plagued with injuries. The WNBA’s 2024 Rookie of the Year has not played since July 15.

She averaged 16.5 points, 8.8 assists and 5 rebounds in 13 games this season.

Fans expressed their disappointment on X (Twitter) on Thursday. Many directed their frustration at the WNBA for not protecting their golden goose.

Clark took the WNBA by storm in 2024. She brought unprecedented growth to the league and provided financial opportunities for WNBA players.

She became the first rookie in league history to score a triple-double, and she led all rookies in assists and scoring in 2024.

There wouldn’t be an Unrivaled women’s basketball league without Clark’s influence.

She deserves more than just 2 hearts from the WNBA.

California healthcare workers fired for mocking patients in TikTok video may have a case for wrongful termination

California healthcare workers who were fired for posting a TikTok video mocking patients may be able to sue for wrongful termination.

The now-deleted video shows the former employees pointing and making faces at what appears to be lubricant on an exam table paper.

The video sparked backlash on social media. Sutter Health, which is partnered with Sansum Clinic in Santa Barbara, placed the workers on leave and then fired them.

On Wednesday, Sutter Health wrote on social media:

“Sutter Health has terminated the employees responsible for the inappropriate and insensitive photos posted on social media. This unacceptable behavior is an outright violation of our policies, shows a lack of respect for our patients and will not be tolerated.”

In a now-deleted post on Reddit.com, a relative of one of the terminated employees says the healthcare workers smeared lubricant on the exam paper themselves. The user said no patients were in the facility at the time when the TikTok video was made.

In the above photo, an unidentified former employee poses with what appears to be lubricant smeared on exam paper. The photo supports the Reddit user’s claim that the table hadn’t been used by a patient.

The table would be flat and the exam paper would be very wrinkled if a patient used it for a Pap smear procedure.

The photo may be in bad taste and unprofessional, but it is not a violation of HIPAA laws for a healthcare worker to smear lubricant on exam paper.

Many media outlets reported that patients left “bodily fluids” behind on the exam table.

Lubricant is not a “bodily fluid.” Lubricant is a not a fluid produced by the body.

Sutter Health may be liable for wrongful termination lawsuits if the healthcare workers smeared lubricant on the exam table to make TikTok videos after hours (when no patients were in the facility).

The guests were stunned when Musiq Soulchild showed up at the wedding. They raised their cellphones to record him singing “Don’t Change.”

Musiq was nearly unrecognizable in a hat and dark shades. He wore blue leisure pants and a matching vest over a black T-shirt.

X users agreed that the husband sang Musiq’s song better than he did.

One person wrote: “The husband ate Musiq Soulchild up honey.”

Another X user wrote: “The husband sang it better.”

A third person commented: “Musiq, brotha, WTF was that!?!? How you let the husband out sing you on YOUR song.”

A witness told AllHipHop:

“This happened in the midtown Atlanta area. It looked like they were roughing him up in the bushes. But he was running away, so that is to be expected. I saw him run past my car. And then I started recording. The police had been watching them so they shouldn’t be surprised that they got arrested.”

The source said police arrested other people along with Raww.

According to jail records, Raww is charged with possession of a sawed-off shotgun, sawed-off rifle, machine gun, dangerous weapon, or silencer. He was also hit with a charge of willful obstruction of police officers.

The 22-year-old aspiring rapper is currently being held in the Fulton County Jail without bond.

Boosie has a troubled history raising his only son.

In 2020, the Department of Family and Children Services (DFACS) investigated the father-of-9 amid allegations of xesual abuse of a teenager.

Boosie previously admitted that he hired xes workers to service his son and nephews.

Tootie Raww was 16 and Boosie’s nephews were 12 and 13 at the time.

Boosie boasted in a video:

“Hell yeah, I got my f– son d– s–ked. I’m training them boys right. Ask any of my nephews, ask any of them, ask my son. Yeah, when they was 12, 13, they got (oral sex)… That’s how it’s supposed to be.”

“Yes, a grown woman, grown, super grown, checked his a– out. Checked all my nephews out, super grown. Is she grown? She check me out. I know what the f**k she did to them, she checked me out, that b***h. I’m getting them prepared, man.”

Boosie’s Instagram account was later banned.

Young Thug was indicted on RICO, gang charges in 2022. He was released from jail in 2024 after he accepted a plea deal.

Last week, audio from his jail phone calls leaked online.

In one jail call with a female, Young Thug said Memphis rapper GloRilla was “ugly AF.”

According to DJ Akademiks, the woman on the phone with Thug is his girlfriend, Mariah the Scientist.

“I saw the girl, um, GloRilla? Why people say she pretty? That b–h ugly AF,” he said. Thug laughed when the woman told him that people say GloRilla looks like Rihanna.

“It’s crazy, there’s probably n–a’s running around sleeping with her,” he said.

“Long ass bullsh– ass wig, skinny sh–, goddamn big a– head, big mouth. Watch out,” he continued. “That b–h ain’t talking about nothing. I would not pursue her at all, ever,” he said.

The audio is among phone calls Young Thug made and received while in jail in Atlanta and Cobb County, Georgia from 2022 through 2024.
