The footage was shocking, to say the least. On May 17, CNN released a 2016 surveillance video that shows Sean “Diddy” Combs physically assaulting his then-girlfriend, Cassie, at the InterContinental Hotel in Century City, Calif. Two days later, the rapper, 54, posted an apology on Instagram, taking “full responsibility” for his “inexcusable” actions — but the internet wasn’t buying it. Neither was Cassie, 37. “Combs’ most recent statement is more about himself than the many people he has hurt,” her lawyer, Meredith Firetog, fired back. “When Cassie and multiple other women came forward, he denied everything and suggested that his victims were looking for a payday. That he was only compelled to ‘apologize’ once his repeated denials were proven false shows his pathetic desperation, and no one will be swayed…

The LAPD has opened a criminal investigation into the tragic passing of Matthew Perry, who was found floating face-down in his Pacific Palisades hot tub on Oct. 28, having died from the acute effects of ketamine. While he’d been using infusion therapy to treat his depression, the Friends star, 54, was in the process of weaning himself off the treatment drug. Matthew’s last session took place a week-and-a-half before his sudden death, and yet, a toxicology report revealed that the amount of ketamine found in his system was comparable to that which is used during general anesthesia. Where did the actor get it from? That’s what the police want to know, as do loved ones. “Matthew was over a year sober and had recently quit smoking. His death was shocking…

To the people of England, she’s the Princess of Wales. But to James Middleton, Kate is simply his big sister. In his upcoming memoir, Meet Ella: The Dog Who Saved My Life, the 37-year-old will share stories from their childhood, growing up in Berkshire. “The royals don’t really like the lid being lifted off their private lives, but Kate knows that James would never write anything to embarrass her,” says a source. “He’s been the keeper of her secrets since they were kids. Even though she’s older, he’s always been fiercely loyal and protective of her.” When Kate, 42, announced in March that she was battling cancer, James posted a photo of them as young children on Instagram. “Over the years, we have climbed many mountains together,” he wrote. “As…

In 2023, Melissa Joan Hart and her family made a trip to Zambia, in southern Africa, to visit the three girls they sponsor through World Vision. “We had the biggest adventure,” the actress, 48, tells Life & Style. “We’ve been there now twice, and it’s just an eye-opening experience in so many ways.” For a first-timer’s trip to the country, Melissa suggests visiting one of the seven natural wonders of the world: Victoria Falls. “It’s called ‘The Smoke That Thunders’ because of the amount of mist that comes up out of the falls, creating a huge cloud that you can see and sometimes feel from miles away,” the Sabrina the Teenage Witch star explained. “It is just gorgeous and unbelievable to see the power of those waterfalls, how big they…
