#RHOA:Kandi Burruss' Ex Makes Explosive Claims About Intimacy
Reality star Kandi Burruss had her pants pulled down in public when her ex-hubby claimed they shredded the sheets with threesomes throughout their marriage, RadarOnline.com can reveal.
The Real Housewives of Atlanta shocker comes in a trailer for a documentary that promises to rip the lid off the secrets from the combustible show, featuring the perspectives of the partners of the drama queens and produced by Burrus' ex, Todd Tucker.

Todd Tucker claimed he and Kandi Burruss had threesomes throughout most of their marriage.MEGA
"We did. I would say most of our marriage we did," Tucker told another Atlanta ex, Peter Thomas – who was recently released from prison after a six-month stint for tax evasion – in a trailer for 'Til Divorce Do Us Part, due out in theaters in October.
"For real?" Thomas, 65, asks. When Tucker responds in the affirmative, Thomas – who was previously married to RHOA star Cynthia Bailey – exclaimed, "I'm a saint!"

Just one day after Tucker aired the divorced couple's dirty laundry, Burruss kicked back, issuing a blistering statement saying: "A man who has already hurt me to my core is furthering the damage by choosing to sensationalize our private life to stretch his five minutes of fame.

"His current behavior has only confirmed that I did the right thing by getting divorced. I Do, I Did, I'm Done!"
Burruss accused Tucker of sensationalizing their private life for publicity.MEGA
Grammy winner Burruss, 50, announced their split in November 2025 and the battling exes finalized their divorce earlier this year, with the musician agreeing to pay Todd a lump sum of $426,000.

Kandi and 53-year-old Tucker met while filming season 4 of RHOA in 2011 before becoming engaged in January 2013 and tying the knot in April 2014.
They seemingly had an amicable split and made an effort to show they were peacefully co-parenting their kids, Ace, 10, and Blaze, 6, in June when they shared a video on social media of their vacation to Bermuda.
A June social media video showed Burruss and Tucker vacationing in Bermuda.MEGA
The video showed Todd on the beach reading a copy of the book Daily Prayers for Men, which elicited a telling comment from Buruss: "We was married for almost 12 years, and that man ain't never had no Prayers for Men book, none of that... he should've started praying a long time ago."

#MusicNews: “Love King” Raheem DeVaughn Launches Syndicated Nighttime Radio Show ‘The Garden of Love’
Urban One’s Reach Media and Radio One have officially announced the launch of “The Garden of Love,” a brand-new syndicated nighttime radio show hosted by Grammy-nominated R&B heavyweight Raheem DeVaughn. Premiering on Monday, October 12, the program will air Sunday through Thursday from 7:00 PM to midnight.
Designed as a nightly sanctuary for the community to unwind, “The Garden of Love” seamlessly pairs soulful music with grounded conversations about love, life, and relationships. Each broadcast will feature a curated mix of romantic R&B and classic slow jams, while DeVaughn opens the phone lines for audience dedications, real talk, and interactive discussions.

“Grateful to everyone who has supported my radio journey!” DeVaughn shared regarding the launch. “This new chapter with Urban One is about building a new nighttime syndicated tradition and truly something special for the listeners. The future is bright, and we’re just getting started!”
The transition to nighttime radio is a natural progression for DeVaughn, widely known as “The Love King of R&B & Soul.” A platinum-selling songwriter and independent powerhouse, he recently earned his second No. 1 on the Billboard R&B charts with a reimagined version of his classic hit, “You.” Earlier in 2026, he released his tenth studio album, The Quiet Storm Lover (Tome Un), via a partnership with EVEN.biz.

Beyond his musical catalog, DeVaughn is a dedicated community advocate. As the founder of the LoveLife Foundation, he actively works to improve the health and well-being of underserved communities of color. His philanthropic efforts earned him the Key to the City of Washington, D.C., and the 2023 Presidential Volunteer Award, paving the way for a prestigious performance at the 2024 White House Juneteenth celebration alongside Patti LaBelle and Charlie Wilson.
“The Garden of Love” will anchor its broadcast on Majic 102.3 WMMJ in Washington, D.C., with syndication across additional major markets including WAMJ Atlanta, WPPZ Philadelphia, WWIN Baltimore, and WKJS Richmond.

#HipHopNews: JAY-Z Opens Los Angeles Pop-Up Ahead Of SoFi Stadium Shows
JAY-Z has opened his Los Angeles anniversary pop-up, bringing the gear from his yearlong celebration to fans ahead of his two SoFi Stadium shows.
The JAY-Z30 space is at 7007 Romaine Street. An official notice lists daily hours from noon to 7 P.M. Pacific through October 22. That gives fans time to stop in before the concert weekend.

Photos sent with the opening notice show a lit display table with clothing racks around it. A large wall carries the JAY-Z30 name, Los Angeles branding and the slogan “’96 & Forever,” tying the room to the year Reasonable Doubt arrived.
The photos also show black varsity jackets with the Yankees logo on the chest and a large Reasonable Doubt 30th-anniversary design on the back. The jacket’s sleeves also carry album titles and release years.

Other shots show JAY-Z30 T-shirts, a blue shirt covered in his aliases and a black cap bearing the words Los Angeles.
Those New York designs have a story beyond a team logo. The jackets are part of a Mitchell & Ness collaboration built around JAY-Z’s albums and his Yankee Stadium concerts earlier this year.
Designer Tommy Campos explained how the pieces came together in a July interview with Andscape. He studied old Yankees gear and items from the album’s first release while working on the clothes.

“The varsity jacket is based on Roc-a-Fella’s original promo jacket,” Campos said.
For the collection’s baseball jerseys, he also drew on the cut and weight of the Yankees’ 1996 uniforms. The charcoal pinstripes took their cue from the suit on JAY-Z’s album cover, linking the clothes to the record’s look.
Fans wore anniversary varsity jackets and Yankees collaboration jerseys outside his July 10 Yankee Stadium show.

The Los Angeles opening follows the New York pop-ups launched for the album’s anniversary. Those June events paired merchandise with installations in Manhattan and Brooklyn, extending the celebration beyond the stage before the hometown shows.
JAY-Z’s SoFi Stadium concerts are scheduled for October 23 and 24, with both shows listed for 8 P.M. The pop-up’s announced closing day falls one day before the first performance.

#TRAGIC: Georgia police identify man who fatally fell off Six Flags roller coaster as Hassan Jihad Ibn Kariem
Georgia police on Tuesday identified the 42-year-old who died after being ejected from a Six Flags roller coaster outside Atlanta.
The Cobb County Police Department said the incident, which occurred Monday at about 4 p.m. at Six Flags Over Georgia, also left several injured.
Preliminary findings from witness and employee interviews indicate that Hassan Jihad Ibn Kariem was “ejected from the ride and struck other patrons before falling beneath the attraction.”

When officers arrived at the scene, Kariem was found unresponsive and beneath the ride.
“Investigators continue to examine the circumstances surrounding the incident,” the police statement said.
Several others were injured, according to officials, but it is unclear how many. The department’s Major Crimes Unit is investigating.

Atlanta Public Schools said in a statement that Kariem was a “member of its community” at the Wesley International Academy, an Atlanta public charter school for kindergarten through eighth grade. It is unclear whether Kariem was a teacher, and the district did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

The school’s leadership shared a letter with NBC News that it sent to families.
“We know this news is heartbreaking and difficult to process. Mr. Kariem was a valued member of our Wesley family, and his loss will be deeply felt throughout our school community,” the letter said. “Our thoughts and prayers are with his family, friends, colleagues, students, and all those whose lives he touched.”

Witnesses who spoke to NBC affiliate WXIA of Atlanta said they saw Kariem fall from the Goliath roller coaster, and at least two people said they saw him strike parts of the ride before he hit the ground.

“He fell and hit the car three different times,” a witness told the station.
The witness said that the falling man was captured in their souvenir picture taken during the ride.
He added that Kariem’s body hit others on the ride before falling onto the roof of a haunted house attraction below.
Another witness told WXIA that Kariem was on the ride with a young boy who appeared to be his son, while a woman who appeared to be his wife and a young girl watched from the ground.

A third witness told WXIA that he and his wife saw Kariem ejected from his car and bounce off the coaster three times.
“We saw it all,” the man said. “We were having a great time and just screaming, ‘Oh my God, what is happening?’” the woman said.
A park spokesperson said in a statement that it was “deeply saddened by the guest incident at our park today.”
“Our thoughts and heartfelt condolences are with the guest’s family, friends, and loved ones,” the spokesperson said.

The spokesperson added that the park was supporting guests and employees and that details would not be released immediately “out of respect for the family’s privacy.”
Logan Conner said he was on the ride with his fiancé when he saw Kariem come out of his seat on Goliath.

“The man started levitating in the air sideways,” he said. “We made direct eye contact with him.”
Nicholas Mendenhall told the “TODAY” show he rode the roller coaster with his son 10 minutes prior to the incident.
“He came up out of his car, he was in his seat, and went forward and just came down headfirst,” he said. “It was in slow motion. And there was a moment where I was like, ‘God just let this man stay in that cart.’ It all happened so fast.”

Video showed riders exiting the roller coaster after it paused mid-ride and were forced to walk down a steep incline.
Goliath, designed and built by Bolliger & Mabillard Consulting Engineers of Switzerland, opened in 2006 and features a drop of more than 200 feet and speeds of at least 70 mph, which places it in the category of a hyper coaster.
A Six Flags spokesperson said by email Monday night that it has temporarily closed nine similar rides at the company’s other North American locations “out of an abundance of caution.”

Those rides include Raging Bull at Six Flags Great America; Goliath at Six Flags Magic Mountain; Nitro at Six Flags Great Adventure; Leviathan and Behemoth at Canada’s Wonderland; Fury 325 and Thunder Striker at Carowinds; and Orion and Diamondback at Kings Island, the spokesperson said.
The company did not provide any more details on when the rides will reopen.
In September, Six Flags was named in multiple lawsuits after riders alleged they suffered brain injuries on the X2 roller coaster at Six Flags Magic Mountain in Southern California. It includes 360-degree rotating seats, a 215-foot drop and sudden flips and rotations.

That coaster has been closed since July 12, a day after attorney Christopher Bulone said one of the plaintiffs suffered catastrophic brain injury after a ride.
Magic Mountain President Brian Oerding said in a Sept. 29 statement that X2 was being retired because “it’s the right thing to do” after guest confidence in its safety was affected.
Six Flags Over Georgia is about 10 miles west of downtown Atlanta.

Chris Brown’s former housekeeper wants him arrested for withholding $9M settlement
Last month, a California judge offered Chris Brown‘s former housekeeper $9.5 million to avoid a costly retrial in her dog mauling lawsuit.
Maria Avila sued the “Residuals” singer after Brown’s dog mauled her at his Tarzana home in 2020. Avila’s face was horribly disfigured in the attack.

She testified in court that she has extensive scarring, and post-traumatic stress disorder. “I will never be the same again,” she cried.
In June 2026 a jury awarded Avila $12.9 million in damages. She had asked for $90 million in damages. On September 28, Judge Huey P Cotton said the jury’s award was too “excessive” and he gave Avila the option of accepting reduced damages of $9.5 million or proceed with a new trial which would limit the amount of compensation she would receive. She accepted the reduced award.

“Maria Avila hereby unequivocally accepts and consents to the reduction of her damages award,” Avila’s lawyer wrote the court.
But nearly a month later, Avila is still waiting for Brown’s lawyers to cut the check. According to court documents obtained by TMZ, Avila asked the judge to issue an arrest warrant for Brown who is currently on tour with Usher Raymond.

Sources say Brown will barely earn a profit from the tour after he pays Avila her settlement.
Brown and Usher canceled four stops on their R&B Tour ahead of his sentencing in a London court on Oct. 26. Brown, 37, and Usher, 47, cited their “health and well-being” as well as the tour’s demands on the crew.
They explained that the cancellations would allow the tour to continue “safely and sustainably” through the remaining schedule. “We sincerely apologize to fans affected by these cancellations and appreciate their understanding.”

The tour will resume in Atlanta on November 5.

Donald Trump Asks Kimberly Guilfoyle to Resign Amid Damaging Reports of Messiness in Greece
President Donald Trump asked Kimberly Guilfoyle to resign as U.S. ambassador to Greece after she reportedly asked a Republican donor to pay off her massive credit card bill.
Guilfoyle turned in her resignation on Tuesday, Oct. 13, according to her post on X/Twitter. “Serving as the United States Ambassador to Greece has been the honor of a lifetime,” Guilfoyle said.
She also addressed allegations that she used her government job to enrich herself personally. “These allegations are false, and I intend to vigorously defend my name, my reputation, and my integrity,” she wrote on X.

Guilfoyle was previously engaged to Donald Trump Jr. who quietly married socialite Bettina Anderson in May.
Guilfoyle was asked to step down after a damaging report claimed that she asked a Republican donor to send her $100,000 to pay off her American Express credit card.
“We have asked Ambassador Guilfoyle to resign. She has been a wonderful asset to the team, and we wish her well,” said President Trump’s new press secretary, Katie Zacharia.

Trump said Monday he was “looking at” firing Guilfoyle after the reports alleged she engaged in “improper and possibly illegal” conduct during her tenure in Athens, Greece.
“Well, we’re looking at it,” Trump told reporters at the White House. “We’re not happy.”
According to the Wall Street Journal, Guilfoyle boasted about her connections to two Greek tycoons who were bankrolling her trips around the world on private jets.

Guilfoyle was annoyed that she was blocked from attending a dinner for Eric Trump in Greece. She allegedly asked an American businessman who was on the guest list to help her get into the dinner. Guilfoyle allegedly promised to use her White House connections to “deliver the world” to the businessman if he got her in the door.
“You know, I can deliver the world to you. Which you deserve,” she told the businessman, according to an audio recording obtained by WSJ. “I’m going to make you a lot of f—ing money,” she reportedly said.

Michael Jackson and the untold story behind his legendary Super Bowl performance
More than three decades have passed since Michael Jackson walked onto a football field and changed what it meant to perform at the Super Bowl. That night has never been fully told from the inside, and now it finally will be. Hulu and ESPN are set to release a feature-length documentary in February 2027 that goes behind the scenes of Jackson’s iconic 1993 halftime performance at Super Bowl XXVII.

The film is titled Spectacle: Michael Jackson at the Super Bowl and is directed by Bao Nguyen, whose previous work includes the acclaimed Netflix documentary The Greatest Night in Pop. The project promises a perspective on that historic evening that fans have never had access to before, including footage of Jackson and his team that has not been seen publicly until now.

A teaser released ahead of the February premiere offers an early glimpse of what the film will cover. The footage shows Jackson commanding the stage at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, California, dressed in the military-inspired outfit that became one of the most recognizable images in live performance history. Thousands of fans fill the venue around him, and the energy captured in even those brief preview clips suggests the documentary will match the scale of the event it is documenting.

Beyond the spectacle itself, the film is expected to explore the creative process and logistical effort that went into building a halftime show that had never been attempted at that scale before. The people who worked alongside Jackson to bring the performance to life will be part of the story, offering context that the live broadcast could never provide.
Jackson’s appearance at Super Bowl XXVII was not just a memorable halftime show. It was a structural shift in how the event itself was understood by television audiences and the music industry alike. Before that night, the halftime slot was treated as an intermission, something to fill time between the two halves of the game. Jackson turned it into a destination.

The decision to book him came at a moment when network executives were looking for a way to keep audiences from changing the channel during the break. What they got instead was a performance that drew more viewers than the game itself and established a template that every halftime act since has been measured against.

By the time Jackson took the Super Bowl stage, he was already one of the most decorated solo artists in chart history. He had accumulated 13 number one singles on the Billboard Hot 100 across his career, including some of the most enduring songs in pop music. His 1982 album Thriller spent 37 weeks at the top of the Billboard 200 and produced seven top ten singles from a single project, a run that remains one of the most extraordinary in the history of recorded music.

That catalog gave the 1993 halftime show a weight that few performers could have matched. Jackson did not arrive at the Super Bowl to introduce himself. He arrived as the biggest pop star on the planet, and the performance reflected that reality in every detail.
Spectacle: Michael Jackson at the Super Bowl premieres on Hulu and ESPN in February 2027.

SURPRISE! Star Wars' John Boyega Reveals He Privately Got Married 2 Years Ago, Is Expecting First Baby
John Boyega revealed he privately got married nearly two years ago. Plus, the couple is expecting their first baby together: “My life is completely fulfilled in terms of family.”
John Boyega is ready for his next mission.The Star Wars actor revealed he privately tied the knot “coming up on two years” ago, adding that he and his wife are currently expecting their first baby together, a little boy. 

“We both like the idea of celebrating something established,” Boyega told The Guardian in a recent interview of why he and his bride had a low-key wedding, “rather than celebrating the entry.”
And while they opted for a small ceremony when it came to their nuptials, Boyega shared he’d “love” to have a bigger bash in the future. As the They Cloned Tyrone star put it, someday they’ll “have to shut Nigeria down!”

Though Boyega didn’t mention his bride by name, rumors that he and actress Lashontae Heckard tied the knot emerged after she shared photos of herself donning rings on that finger. Elsewhere in the Sept. 22 Instagram post was a zoomed in photo of Boyega’s face, with her using the reflection in his sunglasses to take a selfie. 
Sharing details about his own bling, Boyega told the outlet that he has two sets of rings: a two-toned band that holds “sentimental” value from an unexpected place and another band that he got later on. 

“This is the one we decided to pick up spontaneously because I just wanted the ring on my finger, so we went to Walmart to get this,” he noted of the two-toned band. “It was a lovely trip to Walmart. Shout out, Walmart Canoga Park!”

But with their quiet chapter as newlyweds in the rearview, he is certain the Force is with his parenthood journey. 

“We got a baby cooking,” he said. “My life is completely fulfilled in terms of family. It’s been so nice with the timing.”
And while he joked that the idea of stepping into fatherhood feels “funny,” he knows he’s just the stormtrooper for the job.
“I’ve tried to, as much as possible—especially following periods when I’ve worked a lot—to decenter my career,” he said. “There have been certain moments when I’ve known that this is a time for family. There’s stuff to do.”
As for what he’s bringing to the table in his next chapter?

“I’m present,” he said, “I’m consistent and full of love.”

Amy Robach and T.J. Holmes officially got married in a private wedding ceremony in Arkansas 

Amy Robach and T.J. Holmes are saying good morning to married life.The former GMA3 hosts officially tied the knot almost four years after their romance was first made public.
According to the couple's marriage license, registered in Washington County, Arkansas, on Oct. 13 and obtained by E! News, Robach and Holmes married in a private ceremony on Sept. 19.

E! News has reached out to reps for comment and has not heard back.
Robach, 53, and Holmes, 49, announced their engagement on an October 2025 episode of their Amy & T.J. podcast, noting they wanted to make sure the news came from them, alluding to when their romance was made public in 2022 after they were photographed packing on the PDA in New York City. 

“We wanted to let you all know before anybody else was able to," Holmes said at the time. "We’ve learned that lesson, I guess, in the past about our relationship."
The coworkers sparked controversy when news broke that they were dating, as they were both still married at the time—Robach to Andrew Shue and Holmes to Marilee Fiebig. However, the former daytime hosts confirmed they were both separated from their spouses when the news went public, with Shue and Fiebig even beginning their own romance in late 2023.

Still, their relationship caused quite a stir, with both of them departing Good Morning America’s GMA3 in early 2023, a move that proved difficult for Robach—who shares kids Ava, 23, and Annalise, 20, with first husband Tim McIntosh.
“I feel the pressure of our careers that I believe were unfairly taken from us," she said on a January 2024 episode of their podcast, "and I really wanna be able to do what I love and I wanna be able to do it with you." 

Thankfully, the two have been able to rely on each other over the years, with Holmes—who shares kids Brianna and Jaiden with first wife Amy Ferson, and daughter Sabine, 13, with Fiebig—calling Robach “my person, my partner, my spouse,” on their I Do, Part 2 podcast last year.
And Holmes and Robach knew they were dedicated to each other even before that, with Robach saying on an April 2024 episode of their Amy and T.J. podcast, "Mentally, emotionally, we've absolutely agreed to commit to each other.”

“I have said this to you, and I believe you've said it to me as well, that I want to be with you for the rest of my life,” she continued. "I want a life partner. I want someone who is with me. I like spending the night with you and waking up with you."

“RuPaul’s Drag Race” Former Music Producer & On-Air Personality Lucian Piane Passes Away At 46 
Lucian Piane, best known for his work on “RuPaul’s #DragRace,” has tragically d!ed at 46 after being struck by a vehicle in California.
According to TMZ, law enforcement sources say the songwriter and producer was hit by a car in Glendale early Monday morning (Oct. 12). Emergency responders attempted to save him, but he was ultimately pronounced de@d at the scene. Authorities reportedly found no identification on him at the time, only a citation, though his identity was later confirmed.

His passing comes after fans recently expressed concern over a series of troubling Instagram videos that appeared to show him spending significant time on the streets. He was also reportedly taken into custody twice in the days leading up to his de@th — once Saturday for allegedly being under the influence of a controlled substance and again Sunday for allegedly a$$aulting an officer or emergency personnel. He received citations in both incidents and was scheduled to appear in court the same day he d!ed. Piane was widely recognized for his contributions to multiple seasons of “#RuPaulsDragRace,” where he worked as a judge, producer, and songwriter.

University of Maryland tennis club suspended indefinitely after 'racist imagery' sent to teams over email
The University of Maryland (UMD) has suspended its club tennis team indefinitely after members allegedly sent racist imagery to other college tennis teams ahead of a weekend tournament in College Park.

According to university officials, members of the Maryland Club Tennis organization emailed tournament materials containing the offensive imagery targeting Black and African American people to other university tennis clubs in the region. UMD Recreation and Wellness staff learned about the materials Saturday and took immediate action.

The entire club tennis team has been suspended indefinitely while the university's Office of Student Conduct investigates. The matter has also been referred to the University of Maryland Police Department.

"We are committed to doing all we can to repair the hurt and harm that this has caused, but first we must acknowledge how this incident has impacted our community members who are Black or African American, the Howard Club Tennis team, and our Black students on the Maryland Club Tennis team," UMD President Darryll J. Pines wrote in a letter Tuesday afternoon. "Our Club Tennis players who are Black forfeited their matches as part of the measures taken, and Student Affairs staff and our Belonging & Community team will continue to offer support at this time."

While the university said only a few students may have been directly involved, Howard University Interim President Wayne A. I. Frederick said two Maryland club tennis leaders were referred to the Office of Student Conduct.

Howard University's club tennis team was among the schools participating in the tournament.
This past weekend, members of Howard University's Club Tennis Team traveled to the University of Maryland, College Park, to participate in a tournament that should have been an opportunity for friendly competition, sportsmanship, and fellowship among students," Frederick said in a statement Monday. "Instead, our students were confronted with deeply offensive and racist imagery.

Frederick condemned the materials, saying the imagery brought up a painful history of racial violence and discrimination.
"There is no place for racism, intimidation, or imagery rooted in hatred and racial violence in collegiate athletics, on our campuses, or anywhere in our society," he said.
Pines, in a statement, said he echoed Frederick's sentiment.
"We [UMD and Howard] will continue to stay in close communication as the investigation proceeds," according to a letter from Pines' office.

Following the discovery, Maryland's club tennis team forfeited its matches, although the tournament continued for other participating schools.
UMD officials said student leaders met with other team captains to apologize, take responsibility, and acknowledge the harm caused. The club also sent apology emails to each of the invited teams.
"The University of Maryland is horrified and expresses its regret and sincere apology for the harm that this has caused," the university said in a statement to 7News.
"It was deeply harmful and offensive, and I offer my apology for its detrimental impact on one and all," Pines wrote in addition to the university's earlier statement.

UMD's director of Recreation and Wellness also apologized to officials and club presidents at participating schools.
UMD said it also reached out to Black leaders across the campus within the first 24 hours to provide support.
Howard University said it will remain in contact with Maryland as the investigation continues.
It remains unclear whether the students involved will face additional disciplinary action or criminal charges.

Pope Leo Diagnosed with Lung Cancer, Undergoes ‘Successful’ Surgery

Pope Leo has been diagnosed with lung cancer.
The pontiff, 71, was diagnosed with lung adenocarcinoma and he underwent a “successful” surgery to remove the lower lobe of his right lung.
Pope Leo was in the operating room for about three hours on Tuesday (October 13) and the surgery lasted for about 90 minutes, according to the Vatican’s medical bulletin.

“The surgery was successful, and there were no complications,” the Vatican said (via CBS News). “To ensure a radical resection, the lower lobe of the right lung was removed using a video-assisted technique. Intraoperative histological examination confirmed the diagnosis of pulmonary adenocarcinoma, as suspected from pre-operative tests.”
The surgery took place at Gemelli hospital in Rome, Italy and the Pope is recovering in a room on the 10th floor. The papal apartment in the hospital is currently undergoing renovations, so he is in a nearby room instead. He walked into the hospital through the main entrance ahead of the operation and “regained consciousness normally” after the procedure.

Gemelli’s chief thoracic surgeon, Dr. Stefano Margaritora, performed the surgery.
This type of lung cancer affects both non-smokers and smokers. It’s believed that Leo was not a smoker.
We’re wishing him a speedy recovery!

#RHOP: Wendy Osefo Opens Up About the ‘Darkest Time’ in Her Marriage to Eddie During Legal Scandal 
Dr. Wendy Osefo and her husband, Eddie Osefo, are ready to open up about the state of their marriage after a fraud arrest rocked their world. “The world that I knew is completely different,” Wendy, 42, shared during the Sunday, October 11, episode of The Real Housewives of Potomac. “To see all of that being wiped away, it is something that I think of every single day. Everything happened at what I thought was the height of my career, and then I lost it all.” Eddie, 42, added, “What this whole situation has taught me is you just never know what tomorrow will bring. I don’t want to say we’re in the dark, but we’ve just been going through the process. The process takes a freaking long time.” 

In October 2025, both Wendy and Eddie were indicted by a grand jury on charges of insurance fraud, conspiracy insurance fraud and a false statement to a police officer. The case stemmed from the couple reporting a purported burglary at their home, during which more than $200,000 worth of items were allegedly stolen, while the couple was on vacation in Jamaica in April 2024. Related: ‘RHOP’ Stars Dr. Wendy Osefo and Husband Eddie’s Relationship Timeline Both parties have denied any wrongdoing, with a rep for the couple previously telling Us, “The Osefos, alongside their legal team, look forward to their day in court.” During Sunday’s episode, Wendy confirmed she and Eddie have separate legal teams as their case moves forward. “I think this has definitely been the darkest time in our marriage,” Wendy told her husband during Sunday’s season 11 premiere. “I had moments where I didn’t even want to talk to you. It’s definitely been trying. … Some days I’m not fooling with you at all.” Eddie added, “I feel we’re rebuilding trust with each other.”

#MusicNews: Janet Jackson pays tribute to MJ at The F1 Singapore Grand Prix
American pop, R&B and dance music icon Janet Jackson took over the Wharf Stage. It was her first Singapore concert in 15 years – she last performed here at the Singapore Indoor Stadium in 2011.
After more than five decades in show business, the 60-year-old star put on a commanding display of stage presence, executing tight, razor-sharp choreography alongside five male dancers.
Clad in a dark blue denim ensemble with black, glittery sleeves, the youngest of the famed Jackson siblings maintained a smooth, sensual interaction with her troupe throughout her set.

Cramming 40 years of hits into an hour-long set, the show compressed her vast catalogue into rapid-fire medleys, often shortening tracks to the core verses and choruses.
Jackson was accompanied by five dancers.
A solid display of her constant musical reinventions, the set list bridged 2000s electropop numbers like Rock With U (2008) and Feedback (2008) with 1990s R&B landmarks like Got ’Til It’s Gone (1997) and 1980s New Jack Swing staples like Miss You Much (1989) and Control (1986).
While her signature breathy delivery was occasionally swallowed by heavy beats on uptempo tracks like Doesn’t Really Matter (2000), Control-era anthems What Have You Done for Me Lately (1986) and Nasty (1986) featured assertive vocals, although they were still low in the audio mix.
High-energy highlights included a chair-routine dance that accompanied When I Think of You (1986) and wild head-banging on hard rock tracks like Black Cat (1989).
Some of the biggest cheers erupted when she launched into Scream (1995), her hard electronic funk duet with late brother, King of Pop Michael Jackson. The LED backdrop played clips from the song’s distinctively sci-fi black and white music video.

She left the stage after funk-heavy Rhythm Nation (1989) and many in the audience took it as a cue to exit the venue.
But the fans came running back when she emerged minutes later to perform Together Again (1997) solo without her dancers, as the screens projected childhood photos honouring her late brothers Michael and Tito, as well as their father, Joe Jackson.

Dionne Warwick Cancels Carnegie Hall Performance Due to Leg & Foot Pain

Dionne Warwick has unfortunately been forced to cancel her Carnegie Hall performance.
This past weekend, the 85-year-old music icon was scheduled to perform on Sunday (October 11) at the Deborah Silver & Fabulous Friends: Voices for ALS charity benefit at Zankel Hall in New York City.
Unfortunately, Dionne was forced to cancel her performance as she suffered from severe pain in her leg and foot.

“I’m sorry to have had to cancel the chance to see you all at Carnegie,” Dionne shared in a statement to Page Six. “My leg and foot would not allow me to stand nor walk at the moment.”
Due to the pain, I just couldn’t do anything other than cancel my appearance this time, as I focus on rest and recovering from it,” she added.
The five-time Grammy winner asked for understanding and grace, as “only the pain and inability to stand or walk is the reason for my absence.”

In September 2025, Dionne underwent emergency leg surgery. At the time, she reassured fans that she’s “doing okay” and that they should “not worry.”
We wish Dionne Warwick a speedy recovery!

Rep. Ilhan Omar With a Message to Trump After Fed Search on Her Home: ‘I Will Not Be Silenced’
A shakeup occurred in the Nation’s Capitol on Monday as federal authorities executed a search warrant on the home of Minnesota Democratic Rep. Ilhan Omar. Omar, who is frequently under the scope of President Trump, is currently running for reelection in the state where 127,000 votes have already been cast according to CNN.

The Department of Justice stated authorities “executed a judicially authorized search warrant secured by the Department of Justice” and stated it was “part of an ongoing federal criminal investigation.”

However, no details for the investigation or any alleged crimes were references. And Omar sounded off.
“I’m ok. Make no mistake: this is an attempt to target political enemies and weaponize federal law enforcement,” she wrote on X. “For ten years, Trump has targeted me with baseless lies and smear campaigns. This is just the latest escalation in his campaign of political intimidation. I will not be silenced.”

House Democratic leaders including House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, Whip Katherine Clark and caucus Chair Pete Aguilar released a statement: “For years, Donald Trump and far-right extremists have relentlessly targeted Congresswoman Omar with vile personal attacks and baseless accusations. The American people deserve transparency, and we will deliver full accountability for the rogue abuse of power from the Department of Homeland Security and Department of Justice.

Spokesperson for Diddy Responds to Reports of Head Injury and Hospital Visit
Diddy found himself in an ambulance as reports state he was transported from prison to a local hospital for treatment of a head injury.
According to TMZ, Diddy was transported out of FCI Fort Dix to tend to the injury, which is believed to not have been life-threatening.
According to a spokesperson for the Bad Boy Mogul, his health is the “immediate concern:”

“We are aware of the reports concerning Sean Combs and are working to confirm the circumstances. Sean’s health and well-being are our immediate concern, and we appreciate everyone who has reached out.”
Just last week, Mike Tyson appeared on SiriusXM’s Andy Cohen Live to promote his new Netflix documentary TYSON, where he discussed his relationship with Sean “Diddy” Combs and a phone conversation between the two.
Tyson confirmed he remains friendly with Diddy and said he was surprised by the lengths authorities went to prosecute him.

“Listen, I was surprised that they went through so many lengths to get him. They used a 110-year-old rule to get him, that case 110 years ago, but they used it to get him. Can you imagine that? They took a 110-year-old case to get him a couple of months, a couple of years ago.”
Tyson also revealed that he spoke with Diddy by phone and was asked to deliver a letter to the president.
“Well, I spoke with him once on the phone, yes. He wanted me to give a letter to the president.”

When asked whether he delivered the letter, Tyson confirmed, “I did what he told me to do, yeah.”

‘Breaking Bad’ actor RJ Mitte dead at 34

RJ Mitte, the actor best known for his role on the Emmy-winning television show “Breaking Bad,” has died, according to a spokesperson from the office of Justice of the Peace Cyndi Hinojosa in Brownsville, Texas.
The spokesperson said the 34-year-old actor died Monday, and that it’s an ongoing investigation.
The Brownsville Police Department told CNN they received an emergency call around midday local time on Monday. Mitte was already deceased when police arrived, they said. No foul play is suspected at this time.

In a statement shared by his representatives, Mitte’s family confirmed his passing and honored his philanthropy work as an ambassador for United Cerebral Palsy and Shriners Children’s, as well as through The Mitte Foundation. They also highlighted how he used “his platform to challenge stereotypes and promote greater representation for people with disabilities.”
Mitte – who lived with cerebral palsy – portrayed the son of Bryan Cranston’s Walter White across all five seasons of “Breaking Bad,” the TV hit that aired on AMC from 2008 to 2013, amassing many awards and accolades during its run including what was then known as a SAG Award for best ensemble.

“I’m in deep despair,” Cranston said in a statement Monday night, expressing his condolences and recounting their time working together.
“I met him when he was only 14 years old when he was cast as Walter White Jr., a part he played with such joy and enthusiasm,” Cranston said. “Born with Cerebral Palsy, he never — ever — allowed that challenge to be an excuse for anything. He met the demanding shooting schedule head on with great determination.”
“I loved him, and thoroughly enjoyed being with him throughout the years on the series, and after the spotlight on Breaking Bad dimmed…I’ll miss you, son,” he wrote.

Mitte was born in Lafayette, Louisiana, in 1992, and moved to Hollywood at the age of 14 with his family in support of his sister, after she was discovered by an agent as a toddler in Houston, Texas.
He initially got work as an extra on shows like “Everybody Hates Chris” and “7th Heaven,” and his first listed job on IMDb is the uncredited role of school jock on TV’s “Hannah Montana” in 2007.
His first audition was a public service announcement for the state of California – “an anti-meth commercial,” he recalled on “The Joe Vulpis Podcast” earlier this month, noting the irony, considering his big break was on a show about a high school teacher who started making and selling methamphetamine.

In the same interview, Mitte reflected on starring on “Breaking Bad” during his teen years, noting, “back then we really didn’t realize how impactful the show was going to be.”

Acting wasn’t his plan, but in it, he found his “passion,” he said.
Mitte also posted a snippet of the podcast interview to his Instagram last week, in which he discussed how he felt that his storyline within the White family wasn’t over.
“I think there’s a lot of unanswered questions there that for them will probably never be answered,” he said. “I think there’s still a big step for the White family.”

He also alluded to his desire to “top ‘Breaking Bad’” in the future.
“I set a bar for myself as a young man that is kind of unobtainable. I tell people, I say, ‘Look, it’s a long way down from the top of the mountain.”
In 2021, Mitte starred in a film called “Triumph,” based on the real-life story of a high schooler with cerebral palsy who wanted to join the wrestling team. The actor said during an interview at the time that he could relate given his own journey with the condition.
“You know when you have a disability there’s these assumptions that you’re weaker, that you’re slower, that’ you’re fragile,” he said. “When I was a kid growing up with cerebral palsy there were a lot of times when [it was said] I would ‘never walk properly’ or I would ‘never talk properly.’ I would never have a normal life or career. That was the perception when I was a kid.”

“And my family was like ‘No, he’s going to go do things,’” he added.
Mitte told Able Magazine that the acting opportunities that were presented to him often related to his disability. “We want to see ourselves on TV and in films that represent us accurately while being entertaining,” he said.
The actor also had a recurring role on TV’s “Switched at Birth,” and this summer he starred opposite Finn Wittrock in the film “Westhampton.”

Fellow actors, disability activists and other “Breaking Bad” cast members have extended their condolences over Mitte’s death.
Dean Norris, who portrayed Drug Enforcement Administration agent Hank Schrader in the AMC series, said Mitte’s death was “heartbreaking.”
“Though RJ didn’t play my TV son, I always looked out for him as a young kid on set. He was a sweetheart of a young man and will be greatly missed. This is so heartbreaking, I can’t believe it. Thinking of him and his family,” Norris wrote on X.
Aaron Paul, who starred as White’s right-hand-man Jesse Pinkman, shared the same sorrow in a statement, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

“I am at a loss. I am heartbroken over this news. RJ, I love you my friend,” said Paul in a statement, per The Hollywood Reporter. “You will be missed. And to whoever happens to be reading this, please know you are loved, and you are not alone. Always remember that.” CNN has reached out to Paul’s representatives.
AMC Network also expressed its condolences, saying Mitte “left a lasting impression on audiences around the world.”
“RJ brought authenticity, warmth and humanity to a character who became an integral part of one of television’s most acclaimed dramas,” the network said in a post on Instagram.

Reality TV personality Kash killed in downtown Oakland shooting, woman arrested
Reality TV personality Mackayla Paige, known as "Kash," was fatally shot in downtown Oakland early Sunday morning. Police have arrested a woman from Richmond as family and friends mourn the 29-year-old star.
Oakland police arrested a woman from Richmond in connection with the shooting but have not released her identity or details about what led to the incident.

Family members identified the victim as Mackayla Paige, who appeared on reality shows including "Real West Coast Baddies," "RoomH8z" and "Young & Reckless."
Loved ones began setting up a makeshift memorial near the shooting scene Sunday, remembering Kash for her outgoing personality, love of the spotlight and dreams of becoming famous.
"Oh my God, she was so fun. Was she not hella fun? Oh my God, this girl was so fun. She had us everywhere," said Poodahh, who described herself as one of Kash's girlfriends.

Kash had posted videos to her Instagram Stories showing herself enjoying a night out Saturday, just hours before her death.
"She wanted to be famous so bad," said Nicky Clayton, Kash's cousin. "She still had morals, don't get me wrong. She wanted to be a reality star. She [wanted] to start her own business. She was modeling for a lot of companies, and she really wanted to do makeup." 

What we know: Oakland police said officers responded to the 200 block of 14th Street shortly after 1:30 a.m. Sunday following reports of a shooting
Officers found a 29-year-old woman suffering from an apparent gunshot wound. She was taken to a hospital, where she died.
Video posted to TikTok showed a large police presence outside Cave Lounge near 14th and Harrison streets.
Police confirmed that an adult woman from Richmond was arrested in connection with the shooting. Authorities have not released the woman's identity or disclosed what led to the shooting.

The Oakland Police Department's Homicide Section is investigating.
A memorial on the 200 block of 14th Street in Oakland following a shooting overnight Sunday.
Clayton said Kash had been spending time with family before the shooting.
"She was chilling. She was with family. So she supposed to be good. I don't know what transpired, but I know she's supposed to be here," Clayton said.

As she helped create a memorial for her cousin, Clayton struggled to process the loss.
"I'm in disbelief," Clayton said, becoming emotional.
Poodahh, who has the words "Spoil Me With Kash" tattooed on her hand, remembered someone who constantly encouraged her to reach her potential.
"She pushes me to be better every day. She sees when I'm not giving it my all, and she pushes me to be what she knows I could be," Poodahh said.

For those closest to Kash, accepting her death remains difficult.
"She's not gone. I can't speak to her in the past tense," Poodahh said.
While Kash dreamed of becoming a star, her loved ones say she had already made an unforgettable impression on the people around her.
"I'm sorry for all of our loss, because she's a star," Poodahh said.

Oakland police have not detailed the circumstances that led up to the shooting, nor have they publicly identified the suspect or victim.
Those with information, photos or video related to the shooting are asked to contact the Oakland Police Department at (510) 238-3821, via the tip line at (510) 238-7950, or by email at cidvideos@oaklandca.gov .
 
Collin Gosselin accuses mom Kate of abuse, calls life on TV a 'lie'
Collin Gosselin has accused his mom, Kate Gosselin, of repeated physical abuse and says his family's life on TV was a "lie."
Collin, 22, alleged as much while discussing his memoir, In the Shadow of Eight, in an interview that aired Monday on Good Morning America.
Collin and his family came to fame on Jon & Kate Plus 8, a TLC reality series following Jon Gosselin, Kate Gosselin and their eight children -- twins Cara and Mady and sextuplets Collin, Alexis, Hannah, Aaden, Leah and Joel -- that aired from 2007 to 2009.

Following Jon Gosselin and Kate Gosselin's 2009 divorce, the show was renamed Kate Plus 8 and ultimately ended in 2017.
In his book and in the GMA interview, Collin said his life at home was much different from what was shown on TV.
"Simply put, my whole life that I lived was a lie. All the things you see on TV -- lies," Collin said.
"I couldn't talk about what went on in the home, and now I finally can," he added.

Collin, who was 12 years old in 2016 when Kate Gosselin sent him to a live-in facility because of his alleged social and educational issues, said his mother labeled him "difficult" as a way to protect her image.
"I was 'difficult' because I was the only one out of my siblings who pushed back against filming. And that whole facade, that my mom spent years building, I was a danger because I could have so easily dismantled that facade," Collin said.
"I threatened my mom's income, I threatened her image, and people will do anything to protect their reputation, especially my mom," he later added.

Collin, who said Kate Gosselin was repeatedly physically abusive and once zip-tied him and locked him a basement room, went to live with Jon Gosselin in 2018 after his dad was awarded custody of himself and his sister Hannah.
Jon Gosselin alleged in 2016 that Kate Gosselin refused to share Collin's whereabouts, telling Entertainment Tonight, "No one knows where he is. Kate says Collin is in a special school for special needs kids with behavioral problems."
On GMA, Collin said he had an independent evaluation in 2023 that showed he did not have his previous diagnoses of autism, bipolar disorder and obsessive compulsive disorder. The 22-year-old is now studying finance in college.

Kate Gosselin has previously denied abuse allegations. She addressed Collin's memoir in comments on TikTok in June, calling the allegations "ridiculous."

Selma Blair arraigned after alleged Delta flight altercation, bail set at $20K
Actress Selma Blair was arraigned Monday evening on assault charges in New York, following an alleged altercation with flight attendants aboard a Delta flight from Los Angeles to New York City on Sunday.
She also had alleged altercations with a Port Authority officer and a registered nurse, according to a complaint obtained by ABC News.
A judge set bail for Blair at $20,000 cash, $60,000 bond or $60,000 partially secured bond, during her hearing on Monday. 
According to the criminal complaint filed in Queens, Blair is charged with two counts of assault in the second degree under New York Penal Law 120.05(3).

The Port Authority Police Department responded to a call Sunday night at John F. Kennedy International Airport regarding a physically abusive passenger aboard Delta flight 938, which was parked at the gate after arriving from Los Angeles International Airport, according to Port Authority officials.
The passenger, identified as Blair, was taken into custody following the alleged incident and transported to a hospital. Sources familiar with the matter told ABC News Blair was treated at Jamaica Hospital.
Two flight attendants sustained injuries as a result of the alleged incident, with one being transported to the hospital for further evaluation, according to Port Authority officials.

The pilots informed air traffic controllers ahead of landing that one person had a bloody nose and another person had bite marks and requested that medical personnel be waiting at the gate.
The complaint names Port Authority Police Officer Maria Suarez, who was kicked by Blair repeatedly in the face, neck and chest while the officer was helping transport Blair from John F. Kennedy Airport to an ambulance. The officer reported swelling to her jaw and substantial pain and was treated at a hospital, according to the complaint.
The second incident, involving registered nurse Ashley DeLeo, allegedly happened when she was assisting with Blair's medical treatment at Jamaica Hospital Medical Center, according to the complaint.

Blair allegedly kicked DeLeo in the chest and she reported substantial chest pain, according to the complaint.
Blair's next court appearance on the assault charges is scheduled for January 19, 2027.
In addition to the assault charges, Blair was issued a violation notice on Monday alerting her that she is facing federal charges of assaults within the special maritime and territorial jurisdiction of the United States, a source familiar with the federal summons told ABC News.

The summons is answerable to the petty violations court in Brooklyn federal court, the sources said. There is no appearance date.
In a statement to ABC News, Blair's representative said, "Selma experienced a medical emergency that led to the alleged conduct. Upon landing, she received immediate medical attention and is currently in stable condition.
There was no operational impact to the flight as it arrived ahead of schedule, and law enforcement met the flight when it landed, according to Delta. 

"Delta has zero tolerance for unruly or unlawful behavior, as the safety of our customers and crew always comes first," the airline said in a statement to ABC News.
The FBI and Federal Aviation Administration say they are investigating the alleged incident.
This is not the first time that Blair has been involved with an incident on a flight. In June 2016, the actress was removed from a plane on a stretcher and hospitalized after reportedly causing a scene on a flight home from a trip.
Blair later apologized in a statement to Vanity Fair, saying at the time that she had been under the influence at the time of the incident.
"I made a big mistake yesterday. After a lovely trip with my son and his Dad, I mixed alcohol with medication, and that caused me to black out and led me to say and do things that I deeply regret," she said at the time.

She added, "I take this very seriously, and I apologize to all of the passengers and crew that I disturbed and am thankful to all of the people who helped me in the aftermath. I am a flawed human being who makes mistakes and am filled with shame over this incident. I am truly very sorry."
Blair also opened up about the 2016 incident during a visit to "The Talk" months later, in October that year, saying she'd had a "total psychotic blackout."
"It was horrible and frightening and I had empathy for myself actually afterwards because it was actually so out of character for me, especially because I'm a mother," she added.
Blair, who is known for films like "The Sweetest Thing," "Cruel Intentions," "Legally Blonde," and more, was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis in 2018. In 2021, she announced that she was in remission.

Russell Brand's Criminal Trial Begins as Judge Issues Warning to Jurors
Russell Brand pleaded not guilty to seven charges—including three counts of rape, three counts of sexual assault, and one count of indecent assault—stemming from allegations by six women between 1999 and 2009.
Judge Joel Bennathan told prospective jurors they “absolutely must not carry out any research” on Brand and dismissed candidates familiar with previous investigations into the allegations.
Jurors are expected to be sworn in October 13 before prosecutors open their case in a trial projected to last about six weeks.

Russell Brand's criminal trial is underway in London, and the judge has already warned jurors: Don’t look up the comedian's past.
According to Reuters, the 51-year-old appeared at Southwark Crown Court on Monday, October 12, as jury selection began in a case involving allegations from six women spanning a decade.

Brand arrived at the courthouse wearing sunglasses and accompanied by his wife, Laura Brand. Once inside, the former Hollywood actor reportedly spent much of the hearing staring straight ahead or sitting with his eyes closed.
Brand faces seven charges, including three counts of rape, three counts of sexual assault, and one count of indecent assault. The allegations concern incidents between 1999 and 2009. He has pleaded not guilty to every charge.

But before prosecutors could begin laying out their case, Judge Joel Bennathan had another matter to address: Brand's notoriety.
"We are about to start the trial of one Mr Russell Brand," Bennathan told prospective jurors. "Many of you will have heard of him."
The judge wanted no outside influence. He dismissed prospective jurors who admitted they had watched a documentary or read an extensive newspaper investigation into allegations against Brand that surfaced three years earlier.

"The defendant is clearly someone very well known," Bennathan told those initially selected. "You absolutely must not carry out any research at all about this defendant, Russell Brand."
He also reminded jurors that Brand firmly denies the accusations.
The warning comes after years of headlines surrounding the former Forgetting Sarah Marshall star. In September 2023, a joint investigation by The Sunday Times, The Times, and Channel 4's Dispatches detailed allegations of misconduct against Brand, prompting widespread scrutiny of his behavior during his years in entertainment.

Criminal charges followed in April 2025, with additional charges filed that December. Brand has repeatedly maintained his innocence.
"I've never engaged in non-consensual activity," he previously declared in a social media video addressing the allegations.
However, Brand has also publicly acknowledged past behavior he now considers exploitative. During an April appearance on The Megyn Kelly Show, he admitted having a sexual encounter with a 16-year-old when he was 30, while emphasizing that the encounter was legal under British law.

"I recognize that my sexual conduct in the past was selfish," he said, acknowledging that he gave little consideration to how his actions affected others.
That interview also generated headlines when Brand criticized ex-wife Katy Perry's relationship with former Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. Brand and Perry divorced in 2012 after approximately 14 months of marriage.
Jurors are expected to be sworn in on Tuesday, October 13, with prosecutors scheduled to open their case later this week. The trial is expected to last approximately six weeks.

If you or someone you know has been affected by rape or sexual assault, confidential support is available through the RAINN National Sexual Assault Hotline at 800-656-HOPE (4673) or online at RAINN.org.

Earth, Wind & Fire Drummer John Paris' Spinal Cord Injury Revealed After 2-Month Hospital Stay
Earth, Wind & Fire drummer John Paris entered rehabilitation after a spinal cord injury, two major surgeries, two medically induced comas, and more than two months in the hospital.
Paris was uninsured when the Aug. 6 medical emergency occurred, and his family says the fundraiser’s $100,000-plus total may not cover his lengthy rehabilitation and continuing care.
The 58-year-old musician has played with Earth, Wind & Fire since 2001, and his hospitalization interrupted the group’s Sing a Song All Night Long tour with Lionel Richie.

Earth, Wind & Fire drummer John Paris suffered a spinal cord injury during a medical emergency that left him hospitalized for more than two months, his family has revealed. The 58-year-old musician, who underwent two major surgeries and was placed in medically induced comas twice, has finally been transferred to rehabilitation. But the latest update raises new questions about the extent of his injuries and what recovery will look like.

In a statement shared through the GoFundMe established to support Paris and his wife, Kathy Merrick, his family confirmed that the drummer is no longer hospitalized but faces a lengthy rehabilitation process.
"This is a milestone we have prayed for — but it is not the end of John's journey," the statement read. "In many ways, a new one is just beginning."
The update also revealed that Paris was uninsured when his medical emergency occurred, a detail his family had previously kept private. What began as a fundraiser to help Merrick remain in San Francisco during her husband's hospitalization has become an effort to address the mounting costs of his treatment.

"John's prolonged hospitalization, spinal cord injury, rehabilitation and continuing medical needs have created a financial situation far beyond what we anticipated when Standing With John began," the organizers explained.
The fundraiser has now surpassed $100,000, but questions remain about how much of Paris' medical care will ultimately be covered.
"Kathy and John are pursuing every available source of assistance, including Medicare and workers' compensation, but what ultimately will be covered remains unresolved," the statement continued. "Meanwhile, John's care continues."

Paris' medical ordeal began Aug. 6, when Earth Wind & Fire abruptly canceled its scheduled performance with Lionel Richie at San Francisco's Chase Center. Emergency responders were called following what authorities described as a cardiac incident, and the drummer was transported to a hospital in critical condition.
The severity of his condition became clearer in the weeks that followed. Doctors placed Paris in a medically induced coma while treating him, and although he briefly regained consciousness, complications involving elevated blood pressure and breathing difficulties forced them to sedate him again.

An earlier update shared by Shelly Clark White, wife of Earth, Wind & Fire bassist Verdine White, described an emotional moment when Paris opened his eyes and asked, "Where's Kathy?"
After seeing his wife, he turned to his friend Eddie M and joked, "Get me outta here, man!"
That moment of relief was short-lived as his condition deteriorated again.
Paris has been Earth Wind & Fire's drummer since 2001, contributing to albums including The Promise, Illumination and Now, Then & Forever. His hospitalization interrupted the group's Sing a Song All Night Long tour with Richie, who experienced his own health setbacks earlier in the summer.

"John has spent a lifetime giving us music," the fundraising statement concluded. "Now let's help John on the long road home."

Nicki Minaj Tell Christians to Wake Up and Vote Red
Nicki Minaj called on all Christians to “wake up” and head to the election polls in November. The rap star urged her Christian followers to “incorporate the elections into the church.”
“I think Christians as a whole need to wake up and they need to wake up now,” she said during the X Takeover event at Tesla’s Gigafactory Texas facility in Austin on Saturday, October 10.
“I think that the elections should be incorporated into what they’re preaching even at church during this time, because these are such important elections, you know,” she went on to add.

Nicki also shared that her pastor is from Nigeria and she is concerned about the abuse against Christians there.
She mentioned that she hopes more celebrities and influencers “come on board the train to start speaking out about what’s happening to Christians in Nigeria.”

Meanwhile, as sandrarose noted, fans on YouTube wondered why Nicki did not speak about the alleged racism in the workplace at Tesla factories.
The U.S. government’s Equal Employment Opportunity Commission sued Tesla, alleging the automaker allowed flagrant acts of racism toward Black employees at its flagship California factory. Lawyers for Tesla said the n-word is acceptable in the workplace under certain situations.
In January 2024, a judge ruled thousands of Black employees can join a lawsuit against Tesla. The company also settled a lawsuit with three Black employees who faced racism at its Fremont factory.

Nicki wants Christians to speak up at the polls, but standing on Tesla’s turf without addressing its own record left some fans questioning her priorities.
