Tyler Perry, an American actor and director, is facing sexual assault allegations, which he vehemently refutes. An actor who appeared on the filmmaker’s long-running TV program, The Oval, is making the alleged claim.
Derek Dixon allegedly sued Perry for allegedly asking him for a phone number for a upcoming acting role after the movie mogul “picked him out of a crowd” in 2019.
In two episodes of the television series Ruthless, Perry reportedly gave Dixon cameos.
Then, he alleges Perry allegedly climbed into his bed with him while he was staying over at Perry’s Atlanta residence in January 2020. Dixon claims that he at the time rejected Perry’s advances.
Dixon eventually secured the role of Dale in one of Perry’s projects, The Oval, but he claims in the documents that he started sending him sexually suggestive text messages.

He claims that because he was afraid he would lose his job, he didn’t file a sexual harassment complaint at the time. Before quitting The Oval, Dixon filed the lawsuit with the Equal Employment and Opportunity Commission in June 2024, according to TMZ.
Dixon is suing Perry and Tyler Perry Studios for sexual assault and battery at work. The actor wants damages in the amount of $ 260 million.
A Perry representative said in a statement that appeared to be nothing more than the setting up of a scam in a statement released on Tuesday night. However, Tyler won’t let go, and we are confident that these fabricated harassment claims won’t be true.

According to reports, Brooklyn Beckham and his wife Nicola Peltz have reportedly purchased a opulent mansion in Los Angeles, which could worsen the Beckham-Beckham feud.

Brooklyn Beckham and his wife, Nicola Peltz, have reportedly splashed their cash on a £10.5million in Hollywood after previously renting their other home. The couple are currently embroiled in a reported feud with the rest of the Beckham clan and it’s said the recent purchase could worsen their relations.
The apparent feud seems to be ongoing as Brooklyn seemingly snubbed his dad David’s huge achievement of earning a knighthood on the King’s Birthday Honours List last weekend on his social media pages, as well as failing to publicly celebrate him on Father’s Day. He was also nowhere to be seen for David’s 50th birthday celebrations.

Brooklyn omitted his father’s knighthood dreams, which eventually came true. Victoria has been reportedly rubbed in the wrong way by Brooklyn’s actions, and she has been left furious by his actions.
The current circumstance has devastated the entire family. No one had anticipated that the tension would turn this toxic after it had existed for a while, according to reports.
Victoria is unable to comprehend why Brooklyn hasn’t apologized. An insider recently told Heat Magazine that “she’s angry with him, but she’s also heartbroken.”

After they bought a new home in Los Angeles, things could start to get worse between the couple and his family.
A source told The Sun that Brooklyn feels like his life is now in America when describing the five-bedroom, six-bathroom property.
He claims that he has “anywhere to work,” but Brooklyn thinks LA offers him more opportunities. According to the source, it will be a savage blow to his parents’ hearts.
The insider claimed that there were hopes that his time in America wouldn’t be “permanent,” but “this house purchase squelches any last hopes.”
However, another source told the Mirror that “this house is unrelated to family dynamics.” Brooklyn spent a portion of his childhood in Los Angeles while his father worked for the LA Galaxy, and both Nicola and Brooklyn’s careers were there.
He spent a number of years in LA before moving to the city and making friends there. He has always felt at home in LA.
The Mirror have reached out to Brooklyn and Nicola’s reps for comment.
Loved wife Victoria posted a sweet picture of her kissing her husband on the cheek on her social media page to pay tribute to him after he became a “Sir.”
You’ve always been my shining armor, she wrote in the caption. “But now it’s official. Dear David Beckham, What a privilege, I’m not more than proud of you.
Your commitment to the things that matter most, including your family, your job, your passions, and most importantly, your country, has never faltered. You have touched so many lives with kindness and humility over the years, which speaks volumes about who you are and continue to inspire us every day. But I’m so, so proud to call you mine before all else. I’m so in love with you, xxxx.

A top New York surgeon has shared details of Kris Jenner’s rumoured facelift and how one particular procedure, the deep plane facelift, would have been ‘riskier’ than other procedures. The 69-year-old socialite recently shocked fans with her youthful appearance while in Paris with her daughter, Kim Kardashian.
Before her 70th birthday, Dr. Steven Levine, the Keeping Up With The Kardashians star and motherager’s representative, had confirmed to Page Six that she had undergone cosmetic procedures. Some claim she underwent a deep place facelift, while others speculated it might be a standard SMAS procedure, but it wasn’t confirmed exactly what procedures she underwent.

In a recent interview, Dr. Norman Rowe, a specialist in deep plane facelifts, touched on Kris’ surgery and discussed the differences between the two procedures.
The actress kept her appearance while the doctor praised her and expressed his satisfaction with the outcome. According to him, he added that based on the location of the operation, the cost of the procedure could range from five to six figures.
He told The Sun, “I think, to be honest, still, the majority of people performing facelifts are probably doing SMAS,” he said in an interview about the risks. It continues to be the standard technique.

The surgeon’s ease in going that deep plane to that point ultimately determines how comfortable they will be. Since it is a little riskier than, let’s be honest, a SMAS.
The only way to find out what Kris had done is to examine her in five or ten years, he continued. If she starts to show no signs of aging, it’s likely to be in a deep plane. “Probably wasn’t.”
Meanwhile, Kris recently opened up about her previous facelift after her daughter, Kylie Jenner, revealed to a fan exactly what procedure she underwent for her boob job.
“445 cc, moderate profile, half under the muscle,” Kylie said! silicone!!! Garth Fisher !!! “To a fan who inquired what she did,” I hope this helps.
The doctor who did her surgery took to his page to thank the star before adding: “Every patient is unique. This isn’t ‘cookbook’ surgery—it’s thoughtful, personalised care.”
Garth you are such a superstar class act, Kris wrote in the comments section. My first facial rejuvenation took place in 2011 – 14 years ago! !
“And made it the most amazing experience ever, and even granted us access to film so that people could see it for themselves and not be afraid,” you have continued to be such a devoted and beloved friend! Such incredible talent! “!

The beloved grandmother of the Wicked star’s beloved grandmother has passed away, according to pop icon Ariana Grande and her family. Marjorie Grande passed away at the age of 99, known affectionately as “Nonna” to Ariana and her brother Frankie.

“Marjorie (Nonna) Grande passed away peacefully in her home, where her family and close friends stayed every second.” As we grieve and celebrate her beautiful, extraordinary life, we thank you for your love, support, and respect for our privacy.
At the 2015 American Music Awards (FilmMagic), Frankie and Ariana Grande pose with their adored Nonna.
Ariana frequently shared photos of her dear grandmother on social media, and she even took her to see her film Wicked in November. The Thank U, Next star received a nod for best female actor in a supporting role at the 82nd Golden Globe Awards after answering a question about her grandmother on the red carpet.
The celebrated pop singer and actress was questioned about the first person she phoned after learning about her nomination during the star-studded event in January. Joan Grande, Arianna’s mother, was the first to learn of her.
Ariana’s refusal to call her grandmother, Nonna, first glared at the interviewer. When questioned about her grandmother’s continued presence with us, Ariana said, “Yes, my Nonna. She’s 99]years old]. Cynthia and my acting coach Nancy Banks, who I just called on the way over here, came second, and then there was Nonna.
The interviewer’s direct question shocked users on social media. One criticised, with another adding, “IS SHE STILL ALIVE????????? – WHY WOULD THE INTERVIEWER ASK IF SHES STILL ALIVE?” don’t behave that way in nonna.”

The singer addressed fans by captioning a number of photos of himself with his dear grandmother, saying, “Dearest Nonna, I can’t thank you enough for the many lessons you have taught me over the years.”
You taught me how to love without conditions, how to dominate a three-card poker table, how to never ever take a negative picture, how to open a dinner party without venting at all, how to never be so cold about what other people think, and most importantly, how to show up for family in a way so profound and unwavering that I promise you: I will carry that torch fiercely in your absence. No doubts. No choice.
Nonna, you have always been my friend, and you have always been my. a close friend. My secure location. Without you, I honestly don’t know how this world would turn out, but I do know that because I am so well-versed in you, I will never have to wonder what you might think or say. I will always be influenced by your voice, love, and spirit. We’ll never be apart, in that way.
My sweet Nonna, I love you without end. More than words can express how much I miss you. I feel so proud of everything I’ve accomplished and what is about to come, but I also feel your heart broken.
“Thank you for every moment, lesson, hug, and belly laugh.” Please kiss Grandpa and Aunt Judy for me and let them know how much I miss them until we can talk again. Your apple always.”

R. Kelly’s lawyers claimed in recent court documents that prison officials overdosed on the singer after serving a criminal record and being convicted of R&B.
Kelly is currently awaiting a 30-year prison sentence in a facility in North Carolina. He was found guilty of a wide range of crimes, including sex trafficking and minor sex crimes.
His attorneys claimed in a flurry of filings on Monday and Tuesday that Kelly was being held in isolation after being given an “overdose quantity of medication” by the prison.
By the morning of the following morning, the 58-year-old allegedly became “faint” and “dizzy.”
Mr. Kelly attempted to climb up, but he sank to the ground. His attorneys claimed that he slipped to the cell door and went into unconscious state.
According to the court documents, Kelly was transported by ambulance to Duke University Hospital for two days while receiving care.
The Bureau of Prisons, who was contacted by AFP, declined to comment.
We do not discuss the conditions of confinement for any incarcerated person, including health-related medical issues, for privacy, safety, and security reasons. Additionally, the Bureau of Prisons does not comment on ongoing legal proceedings, whether it be pending or in litigation, or whether it is the subject of a lawsuit, according to a statement from the office.
Kelly’s attorneys had previously requested a release from home confinement, alleging that prison officials had orchestrated a murder plot.
Government attorneys criticized the accusations as “fantastic” and “theatrical” in opposition to the request.
The request, according to the Chicago federal lawyers, “makes a mockery of the harm suffered by Kelly’s victims,” and it wasn’t filed in the appropriate court with the proper authority to even hear the accusations.
In a 2021 trial, Kelly was found guilty in federal court in New York for using a business to systematically recruit and traffic teenagers and women for sex.
In a separate trial, jurors found the singer guilty of producing child pornography and enticing a minor, and he was later found guilty in Chicago federal court.
Music legend Diana Ross opens up ahead of her hotly-anticipated UK tour about family, fashion, and why performing live is her ‘life force’

When it comes to dramatic entrances, there is no doubt Diana Ross reigns Supreme.
Sweeping down the navy-blue carpet in an extraordinary, floor-grazing white gown, the legendary star lit up the Met Gala last month.
With a feather-boa trimmed cape and hat – not to mention several assistants carrying the train up the stairs – she marked her first appearance at the fashion event for 20 years with a bang.
And the Grammy-winning legend aims to make a similar splash when she takes to the stage of her UK tour next week.
In a rare, exclusive interview, Diana says how fashion – and numerous dazzling costume changes – will be at the heart of the new dates.
Not least, she says, because us Brits have such a keen sense of style.

“I’m really looking forward to coming to the UK…I love the country and the British people have elegance,” she explains.
Diana is determined to build on the last series of shows here, which included the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee concert and her unforgettable turn on Glastonbury’s Pyramid Stage, in 2022, as well as the Royal Albert Hall the following year.
“I’m bringing my live band and I’ve added an orchestra and a choir that will really make these shows special…it’s almost two hours of memories, dancing, and dazzling costume changes,” she says.
All of her gowns for these shows have been custom-made, with Diana personally designing each one and working with a seamstress to bring them to life.

“Fashion and music are both forms of self-expression—it’s really a part of who I am and how I connect. On this tour, I want every gown and every song to reflect a spirit of being fun and elegant,” she says.
“Music and fashion go hand and hand – dressing up feels wonderful, and I want to inspire everyone coming to the shows – to do the same.”
As well as fashion, family means everything to Diana too, who has five kids, and eight grandchildren.
“My family is really my greatest joy and blessing. [Eldest daughter] Rhonda travels with me on tour and will be at the shows. My five children really take care of their mum,” she says.
Diana had Rhonda, 53, with Motown legend Berry Gordy in 1971. The same year, she married her first husband, music executive Robert Ellis Silberstein, and they had two more daughters: Tracee, 52, and Chudney, 49.
Diana split from Silberstein in 1977 and went on to marry Norwegian mountaineer Arne Naess Jr. in 1986. The former couple had sons Ross, 37, and Evan, 36.
Diana says she was determined to pay homage to all her kids by sewing all their names into her Met Gala gown.

“Fashion, like music, tells a story,” she explains “ The Met Gala was a special moment for me. My son Evan and a young designer Ugo Mozie and I collaborated on the gown and cloak that I wore. We wanted something meaningful. The 18-foot train stretches across generations with the names of my adult children and grandchildren beautifully embroidered on it. It’s beaded and has crystals— the details celebrate my family, and our love.”
Born in Detroit’s Brewster-Douglass Housing Project – America’s first federally funded housing for African Americans – Diana was one of six children and grew up singing at family parties and in a Baptist church gospel choir.
Her life changed forever when she met Florence Ballard and Mary Wilson and in early 1959, the three girls along with Betty McGlown, started The Primettes’, an all-girl singing group.
“My love for singing became my life and my passion…those moments really gave me hope. It was the beginning of this beautiful, incredibly blessed journey,” she says.
The trio auditioned for the fledgling Motown label and in January 1961, they were eventually signed as The Supremes.
By 1965 they had racked up five consecutive number one hits with songs such as Baby Love and Stop! In the Name of Love.

In 1967, the band’s name was changed to Diana Ross and the Supremes, before Diana went solo three years later.
With such a huge body of work, Diana is spoilt for choice when it comes to curating a special set-list.
“The audiences have requested songs that were big: I’m Still Waiting, Love Hangover and Chain Reaction. UK, here I come,” she says.
In preparation for the shows, Diana has a few strategies to stay performance-ready including steaming her throat, drinking hot tea with honey and breathing exercises.
And despite a career spanning six decades, Diana says she still gets as much of a thrill from performing live to audiences as ever.
In fact, she describes it as her “life force.”
“There is nothing more magical than performing. When I go out on stage, I feel alive. That’s pure magic to me,” she says.
“Performing on stage brings me a lot of joy. It’s fun for me as well as the audience. I can feel the exchange of energy with the audience as I perform. I love seeing the beautiful, happy faces from the stage. The audiences are such an important part of all my shows.”
It is with them in mind that she has enlisted three of the most prestigious UK orchestras for her shows.
She is performing five times with the Manchester based Hallé Orchestra, before being joined by the Royal Scottish National Orchestra in Glasgow and the Royal Philharmonic Concert Orchestra for London.

“I want everyone to feel like they’re part of something truly special. They are just as much a part of the shows as I am — each show is a night I hope they’ll never forget. Music. Memories. And Dazzle,” she says.
