Another woman has come forward to accuse Sean “Diddy” Combs of sexual assault, alleging the hip-hop mogul sexually assaulted her four times between 1995 and the early 2000s, according to court documents filed on Thursday.
April Lampros claimed she met Combs in early 1994 while she was a college student at New York’s Fashion Institute of Technology, and that he “love-bombed her” before his attempts to woo her “manifested into an aggressive, coercive, and abusive relationship based on sex,” according to the lawsuit filed in the Supreme Court of New York County.

A towel-clad Sean Combs is seen chasing his then-girlfriend Cassie down a hotel hallway as she flees, throwing her to the ground, kicking her several times, and attempting to drag her away in newly unearthed surveillance video obtained by CNN.

A reality series featuring Sean “Diddy” Combs that was in early stages at Hulu has been scrapped, The Hollywood Reporter has learned.
Production company Fulwell 73 was behind the project that would have focused on the music mogul’s family life.

Earlier this month, R&b singer Cassie accused Combs of raping and beating her over the course of a decade. Cassie, whose real name is Casandra Ventura, previously recorded for Combs’ Bad Boy record label. Just one day after the suit was filed,...

Diddy is continuing to deny all allegations of sexual assault after he was named in a third lawsuit.
The 54-year-old music mogul was accused of rape and physical abuse in a lawsuit filed against him by his ex Cassie earlier this week. The lawsuit included multiple serious allegations about the “Me & U” singer’s relationship with Diddy.
The lawsuit was settled one day later, with Diddy‘s team claiming that the settlement was not an “admission of wrongdoing.”
Since then, Diddy has been sued by two more women in rapid succession. His team has issued a response to the allegations.

The most recent lawsuit filed accuses Diddy and musician Aaron Hall of raping two women in New York City. The alleged assault happened more than three decades ago, and the accuser is anonymous.

Sean “Diddy” Combs has been hit with a third lawsuit alleging sexual assault under the Adult Survivors Act that expired after Thanksgiving. The new complaint from an anonymous accuser alleges Combs and singer-songwriter Aaron Hall took turns raping the plaintiff and her friend in 1990 or 1991 – and that Diddy turned violent during a rage days later.
In the filing, obtained by Rolling Stone, Jane Doe alleges she and her friend met Diddy and Hall at an event hosted by McA Records, the distributor of Uptown Records, at the company’s offices in New York.

Over the course of his first four appearances on “The Masked Singer,” the Robopine has won over the four judges and the home audience with his powerful set of pipes. It is no surprise that he is still in the competition to win the season 5 Golden Mask. He takes to the stage again on the May 5 episode, “The Spicy 6 – The Competition Heats Up!”
To figure out who is hiding inside the Robopine costume, we’ve gone back and take another look at his previous performances: “Never Too Much” by Luther Vandross in Week 1; “All of Me” by John Legend in Week 3; “Killing Me Softly” by Roberta Flack in Week 6; and “Let’s Get it On” by Marvin Gaye in Week 7. And we’ve also rewatched his video clues packages.

Spoiler Alert: Do not read ahead if you have not watched Season 5 Episode 9 of “The Masked Singer,” which aired April 28 on Fox.
The unmaskings took a week off, as Wednesday’s episode of Fox’s “The Masked Singer” was instead a special one-hour sing-a-long edition that doubled as “The Maskys,” an award celebrating some of the season’s most memorable performances.
Well, they actually spelled it “The Masky’s,” which is extremely questionable from a grammar standpoint.
But however to spell it, “The Maskys” also included a joint singalong to “Never Gonna Give You Up,” by Rick Astley, featuring previously unmasked celebrities Bobby Brown (Crab), Tamera Mowry (Seashell), Mark McGrath (Orca), Nick Cannon (Bulldog), Logan Paul (Grandpa Monster), Danny Trejo (as Raccoon), Caitlyn Jenner (as Phoenix) and Kermit the Frog (as Snail).
Panelists, Jenny McCarthy Wahlberg, Nicole Scherzinger, Robin Thicke and Ken Jeong also got a week off from the guessing game.

We love watching Robopine rock the house on “The Masked Singer.” On April 21, he secured a slot in the Super 6 with his silky smooth cover of the Marvin Gaye classic “Let’s Get it On.” We certainly aren’t surprised that the four judges sing his praises. But we just can’t understand how they can be so wrong about who is hiding inside the Robopine costume.
The Robopine is not Terry Crews, Jamie Foxx or Aaron Hall. We’ve rewatched all of his performances, several of which were showcased on the special sing-along episode on April 28. And we’ve taken another look at his clues videos. Keep reading for our reasoning “The Masked Singer” spoilers, including the real name of the Robopine.
The Robopine is Tyrese Gibson, the R&b singer who is also one of the stars of the “Fast and Furious” film franchise, including the upcoming “F9.

Wednesday’s Super 8 episode of “The Masked Singer” gave fans double the length and double the unmaskings. For the first time all season, the show eliminated two contestants during the two-hour episode. The remaining four from Group A and the remaining four from Group B came together for the first time to sing their tails off in front of a virtual audience and panelists Robin Thicke, Jenny McCarthy, Ken Jeong and Nicole Scherzinger, plus guest judge Rita Wilson. So which two celebs were sent home?

As the music world today is reeling from the news of Andre Harrell’s death at the age of 59, his colleagues and friends are celebrating the career of the Uptown Records founder. Harrell’s milestone career and personal story also are the subject of Uptown, a three-part original scripted miniseries, which was greenlighted by BET Networks in early December 2019.
Harrell was executive producing the project, which had been in pre-production when the coronavirus pandemic suspended all filming in Hollywood. The production held a series of open casting calls in December and January for performers to play 90s versions of Heavy D & The Boyz, Mary J. Blige, Jodeci, Sean “Diddy” Combs, Kim Porter and Aaron Hall, among others.
No cast and production start date have been set for the miniseries, which originally was supposed to premiere in 2020. Because of the uncertainty over when Hollywood production will be able to safely resume,...

On Monday morning, R. Kelly took to Instagram to declare that “Today is the day you’ve been waiting for,” accompanied by a SoundCloud link. The singer-songwriter has long been known for his penchant for excessive spectacle — his chitlin’ circuit musical series “Trapped in the Closet” comes to mind – so for that link to lead people to a 19-minute song titled “I Did It” wasn’t a total surprise. As journalist Jim DeRogatis, who has reported on R. Kelly’s alleged cases of sexual abuse for decades, noted in a response to the track,...

As you may or may not know, Warner Bros. began working on a Justice League movie back in 2011, which was a few years before Man of Steel came out and kicked off the DC Extended Universe in proper fashion. Though it never got off the ground, a script was written by Will Beall and thanks to The Wrap, who got their hands on a copy of it, we now know what the studio’s original plan for the Dceu was.
As you’ll see down below, the script details what sounds like a pretty wild movie and a far cry from what we ended up getting. With 28 characters, time travel, an insane plot and more, we’re actually thankful that we got what we did instead, despite its problems, and after hearing about what Beall’s story involved, you’ll probably feel the same.
So, where to begin? Well, like we said above,...

Need to catch up? Check out the previous Twin Peaks recap here.
If you ever watched Twin Peaks‘ original run and thought, “Man, what this show really needs is an extended, highly disgusting vomit sequence,” then this week’s episode of the revival is your bile-soaked gift from the universe.
In just a moment, I’ll explain (in as little detail as possible) exactly what I mean. For now, suffice to say that regurgitation plays a big role in bringing Special Agent Dale Cooper back into our world, although whether he’s fully here — in body, mind and spirit — remains to be seen.

So... Warner is running a little late. Maybe Zack Snyder is still exhausted from driving the Batmobile around San Diego last night. As always, Warner Bros. has added more screens, and it wraps around the audience further than every before. Aisha Tyler was brought out as a moderator of the panel, which is a nice change-up. The first big blast of footage was for "The Man From U.N.C.L.E.", and it looks like a party. I have a huge fetish for '60s spy films, and it's pretty obvious Guy Ritchie does as well. Armie Hammer and Henry Cavill look like a really solid comic and action team, and Alicia Vikander continues her triumphant 2015 with a role that looks like it's going to be huge fun. Cavill, Hammer, and Vikander walked out to sit with Tyler, and they jumped into talking about the tone of the film, which is blatantly funny...

It’s that time again… okay, it’s a little past that normal time, thanks to the Mix March Madness wrapup, but here are the preview materials for DC Comics releases for July 2012.
What’s on tap this month? More of the Before Watchmen books, with the debut of Ozymandias from Len Wein and Jae Lee, the conclusion of the Court of Owls storyline and crossover in all the Bat-books, and the debut of the done-in-one book, National Comics, featuring the New 52 Debut (coming right at you) of Eternity.
And in the white elephant of desire category, there’s the $300 statue showing the climactic scene from The Dark Knight Returns.
Once more, into the breach? Banzai!

Yes, it 's true: AfterElton.com is doing for the Colbert Report what we did in 2007 for The Daily Show: mine its funniest and hardest-hitting queer moments. (And we took this opportunity to update The Daily Show piece with some of Jon Stewart's queer highlights since 2007, too.)
Colbert, like Stewart, is a strong ally for the gay community, consistently using his fake-conservative persona to smilingly tear homophobic politicians and small minded public figures into tiny little shreds of battered, bleeding flesh, and then – still smiling – feed them to the sharks. In fact, the biggest problem with doing this feature was trying to find a way to fit in all the really good stuff.
We think this is a pretty comprehensive roundup. But an exhaustive review of every single great gay moment on The Colbert Report would be nearly impossible. We hope our readers will augment this compendium by...

We hold in our hands the covers for DC Comics this February. As a child of four can plainly see, these comics have been hermetically sealed in a Cgc 9.9 slab, and they’ve been kept in a #2 mayonnaise jar under a giant stack of returned copies of Holy Terror since noon today.
What do we have worth noting? The new look of Darkseid, and we’re far enough into the new 52 books that it’s time for Batman to start crossing over in all of them. Plus Mara Jade, the red-haired assassin who fell in love with her blond-haired man she was sent to kill– oh, I’m sorry, that’s from Star Wars. This is Mera in a jade outfit. Our mistake.

Juice, 1992's 'film noir' with teenagers – and hip-hop, is still finding young fans today
Juice wasn't supposed to taste so fresh. A morality tale featuring a quartet of Harlem teens – aspiring DJ Q, ladies' man Raheem, comic foil Steel and hothead Bishop – Ernest Dickerson's 1992 directorial debut was initially filed by many critics as a rapsploitation retread of the previous year's Boyz n the Hood.
But nearly 20 years after its release, Juice is still making noise. From dance maestro Sidney Samson sampling a Bishop quote to Soulja Boy hyping up an ill-advised remake, Dickerson's movie has quietly become a hip-hop classic. Dickerson had paid his dues as Spike Lee's go-to cinematographer (he shot She's Gotta Have It, Do the Right Thing and Malcolm X, among others) and Juice, despite ticking all the early 90s hood-movie boxes, also turned out to be buoyant celebration of hip-hop culture, feeding off seminal 80s B-boy flicks,...

'R. Kelly took Aaron Hall's whole style,' Songz says after his sound is compared to Kelly's.

Trey Songz might have denied that there's a beef between him and R. Kelly — whom he's regularly criticized in song and interviews — but that doesn't mean they share a friendly relationship.
In the upcoming April/May issue of Vibe, Songz again talks about Kelly, accusing him of jacking R&B singer/songwriter Aaron Hall's style. The "Say Aah" singer admits he's done the same with Kelly's style, injecting some of the embattled star's subtleties into his music. The result, Songz's Ready album, is his most successful project to date.
"People say, 'Well, I hear a lot of R. Kelly in your music.' So what?" Songz told the magazine, which hits newsstands April 13 "R. Kelly took Aaron Hall's whole style.

In 1992, we were in the tail end of the golden age of hip-hop. Dr. Dre had just released The Chronic, and G Funk was on the rise, but for fans of the east coast sound, there was still Eric B & Rakim. So as a nod to the good old days, today's Scenes (Songs) We Love is all about Eric B & Rakim's Know the Ledge from the 92 crime flick, Juice. The 90's timepiece was directed by cinematographer Ernest R. Dickerson (The Wire and long-time cinematographer for Spike Lee) and centered on four friends in Harlem: Bishop (Tupac Shakur), Q (Omar Epps), Raheem (Khalil Kain) and Steel (Jermaine "Huggy" Hopkins) as they wrestled with the usual urban tropes about making it out of the 'ghetto'.
Music was a big part of the film, and if you are of a certain age, the songs in this movie will seem like the best...

Grace Jones' Hurricane tour stormed into the Hollywood Bowl last night, and one thought kept coming to mind: Lady Gaga wishes she were half as badass as Grace.
Let's back up a second. It's been awhile since the striking model/actress/musician/all-around performance artist has been in the public eye, so it's safe to assume that JoBros fans and Twilighters aren't familiar with her. But Grace has been working alongside big names for quite some time, like Eddie Murphy in "Boomerang," James Bond in "A View to a Kill" and California's governor in "Conan the Barbarian." Her music has made just as big an impact, starting with three disco albums in the late '70s and continuing through this year's Hurricane.
