Justin Bieber: MAKING Hailey Baldwin Have a Boring Bachelorette Party?

Justin Bieber and Hailey Baldwin are engaged and they’ve been piling on the PDA as they race to the altar. Unlike their public outings, however, it sounds like Hailey’s bachelorette party plans are going to be decidedly less wild and steamy. Is Justin the one insisting that Hailey tone down her last night as an umarried woman? Life & Style reports that Hailey Baldwin’s bachelorette party is going to be a pretty tame affair despite the celebrity guests. Hailey and her guests “will play games about the groom,” their insider reports. She and the likes of Gigi Hadid and Kendall Jenner will do that “and take tons of pictures in a photo booth,” the source describes. “Hailey and Justin want it to be a classy and fun-filled celebration,” the insider explains. In other words, there are some things that Hailey will not be doing. Allegedly, it’s Justin who insists that the event be dialed down a little. “So,” the source continues. “What you won’t see are any of the girls wearing wedding veils and playing beer pong,” And they certainly won’t be “getting a five-minute lap dance from complete strangers,” the insider says. (We get the feeling that they won’t be getting lapdances from close friends, either) The source says that there will be no wild antics “or doing any of the other things young brides usually do.” It sounds like a very PG-13 affair. Now, this is pretty believable, even though most wouldn’t considering beer pong to be especially out-of-control. Hailey may be a young, hot model, but she’s also a pretty hardcore Christian. That is one of the things that she and Justin have in common. You know, aside from fame and terrible dads. A lot of their “dates” have been to attend Hillsong Church together. Maybe this super-tame bachelorette was Hailey’s idea. But … maybe it’s true that this is at Justin’s insistence. We should also acknowledge something else. This recent photo of Justin looking very nurturing had an interesting caption. Justin’s formerly deadbeat dad, Jeremy Bieber, wrote: “To be Father.” This led some to believe that the man was hinting that Justin and Hailey have their own bun in the oven . If so, the insistence on a low-key bachelorette party could simply be a cover for why a secretly preggo Hailey might avoid alcohol. If Justin’s the one laying down the law in this respect, it sounds … very hypocritical. It seems that he doesn’t trust Hailey and that he might be a little controlling. But more to the point, he’s done all of this stuff. This is the guy whose own manager was worried that he’d die from his substance abuse issues just a couple of years ago. And the guy worried about his fiancee getting a lapdance has reportedly slept with sex workers while touring in different countries. This isn’t the first time that we’ve seen signs that Justin might be a little jealous or even controlling. Remember Hailey’s close personal friendship with the oh-so-desirable Shawn Mendes? Hold on to that memory, because Hailey purged every photo of Shawn from her entire Instagram account . The two of them went to the Met Gala together earlier this year. Now, from her IG, you’d think they’d never even met. Shawn is a Canadian singer and heartthrob. He’s younger and hotter than the Biebs. Did Justin demand that Hailey do that out of jealousy? There is just so much here that we don’t know. There is so much here that we cannot know, really. If Hailey wants her bachelorette party to just be having a nice dinner and then playing scrabble with some of the (other) hottest models on the planet, that’s fine. Not every bachelorette party needs a stripper or a sexy pillowfight or a human sacrifice. We just hope that it’s her choice — and that Justin respects her enough to make his own party toned down to match. Surely the Biebs has sown enough wild oats for a dozen lifetimes.

Nicolas Cage Accused of Drunkenly Beating Ex Girlfriend

Nicolas Cage’s career has survived a number of bizarre rumors and scandals, but the latest allegations against the famously eccentric actor could mean that his acting days are over. According to court documents obtained by Radar Online, Cage’s ex-girlfriend, Vickie Park, accused Cage of assaulting her while “severely intoxicated” at the SLASH Film Festival in Vienna last month. According to Park’s filing, Cage “abused” her on September 20. She attributed the actor’s behavior to a combination of alcohol abuse and mental illness. “I am already aware of his alcohol addiction, depression and mental illness as his mother is also currently still facilitated in mental ward,” Park wrote. Park says that in addition to that incident, she has been the victim of a sustained and targeted harassment campaign carried out by Cage’s ex-wife, Alice Kim. Park says she feels unsafe in her own home, adding, “I am afraid for my life because of the stalking and harassment of his jealous ex-wife Alice Cage.” According to Park, the harassment began immediately after she started dating Cage in June of 2017. Park claims Kim has gone to great lengths to undermine her relationship with Cage and to damage her reputation. “[Kim] stalks my Instagram page which I now had to make private because I am afraid of her/ she sends Nic messages about me — spreading lies and rumors about me all over Los Angeles and Las Vegas as well,” Park claims. In her increasingly bizarre filing, Park goes on to claim that she became unwillingly caught up in a bitter divorce battle when she started dating Cage: “I am afraid and distressed from their toxic relationship being projected onto me — physically and mentally,” she says. “Currently they are in a divorce battle where she is requesting more than $30 to 40,000 dollars a month solely for herself without signing a contract without documenting how much of the money is going to their son, Kal.” Unfortunately for Park, the judge in her case found insufficient evidence to grant her a restraining order. According to the judge’s ruling, the facts of the case, as presented by Park, “do not sufficiently show acts of violence, threats of violence, or a course of conduct that seriously alarmed, annoyed, or harassed [Vickie Park] and caused substantial emotional distress.” For their part, Cage and Kim issued the following joint statement through their lawyers: “Nicolas and Alice Cage categorically deny the absurd allegations listed in the filing of a temporary restraining order against Alice Cage, which was denied by the court.” We’ll bring you further updates on this situation as more information becomes available.

Bill Cosby Sentenced To 3 To 10 Years In Prison For Sexual Assault Conviction

Here is the original post:

B ill Cosby was sentenced on Tuesday to three to 10 years in prison for drugging and sexually assaulting a woman in 2004. Judge Steven T. O’Neill sentenced the 81-year-old following the conclusion of the hearing to determine how long he would be behind bars for being convicted of sexual assault. BREAKING: Bill Cosby, 81, is sentenced to three to 10 years in state prison for 2004 sexual assault. — The Associated Press (@AP) September 25, 2018 “It is time for justice. Mr. Cosby, this has all circled back to you. The time has come,” O’Neill said . It was unclear if Cosby would be immediately remanded to prison or if he would remain free on bail during an appeal, which was expected to be filed by defense attorneys. Either way, Cosby will serve at least three years and at most a decade behind bars. Bill Cosby is still in court. Judge and attorneys in chambers. Looks like a last ditch attempt to keep him from being taken away in cuffs. Defense attorneys citing a mystery tape recording. — Manuel Roig-Franzia (@RoigFranzia) September 25, 2018 “Nobody is above the law because of where they live, who they are, wealth, fame, celebrity, or even philanthropy,” O’Neill reportedly added. The sentencing took place in Montgomery County Courthouse in Norristown, Pennsylvania, a suburb of Philadelphia. Cosby was found guilty in April during a re-trial that centered on claims from  Andrea Constand   stemming from an incident in 2004. “Bill Cosby took my beautiful, healthy, young spirit & crushed it,” Constand told the court Tuesday morning during her victim impact statement before Cosby was sentenced. “He robbed me of my health & vitality, my open nature, and my trust in myself & others.” More from Andrea Constand’s victim statement: Says she & her family were slandered in the media by Cosby legal team. Says Cosby legal team sought to “frighten & intimidate” her. Cites “psychological, emotional and financial bullying.” — Manuel Roig-Franzia (@RoigFranzia) September 25, 2018 The court also determined that Cosby would be labeled as a sexually violent predator, a point of contention that defense attorneys were arguing against. The prosecutor in the case was pushing for Cosby to serve 10 years in prison, but the judge hinted on Monday that the sentence may be closer to three years. Cosby’s legal team was asking for the comedian to be remanded to his home instead of a correctional facility. Prior to the sentencing, Cosby had the opportunity to take the stand and ask the judge for leniency and express remorse, but he chose not to. Cosby’s fall from grace has been especially notable because he built his career on a clean, family-friendly image that was shredded when he was indicted and ultimately arrested on Constand’s accusation that had gone all but ignored until Montgomery County District Attorney Kevin Steele won his election in 2015 and vowed to finish the job  he said his predecessor should have started. Allegations of the TV star having spent decades drugging and sexually assaulting women were initially suppressed before the claims grew louder and more abundant, ultimately reaching as many as 60 women accusing him. Cosby’s first trial resulted in a mistrial, but a retrial was granted based on the court’s admission of a previously sealed civil deposition during which Cosby admitted giving quaaludes to women, likening the action to how someone would offer a guest “a drink.” This week’s sentencing hearing began with the expectations that Cosby would indeed be sentenced, but defense attorneys tried a last-ditch effort to stall the proceedings on Monday. According to Deadline , Cosby’s “lawyers today made a last-ditch sleight-of-hand that could knock the two-day sentencing hearing off the rails right after it started and keep him from potentially going behind bars this week.” Accusers had an opportunity to speak directly to Cosby and the court during the two-day sentencing hearing, including former supermodel Janice Dickinson. The comedian’s wife filed an ethics complaint with the state judicial board last week claiming Judge Steven O’Neill was biased, but the accusation was never really expected to affect the sentencing.

Ho Sit Down: Meek Mills Janky Judge Could Be Exposed As Biased Upon Release Of “Shoutout” Transcript

Image via Prince Williams/WireImage/Getty Transcript Of Meek Mill’s Meeting With Judge To Be Released If you’ll recall, the reputation of Genece Brinkley , the judge who threw a library of books at Meek Mill for probation violation, has come into SERIOUS question. Meek says the judge basically tried to offer a bribe scenario in which Meek would record a Boyz II Men song and give her a sycophantic shoutout. Young bul refused this jawn’s nut a$$ request and claims that she has been drawin’ ever since. According to TMZ , another judge has ordered the release of the transcript from that meeting to help determine whether or not Brinkley really is carrying out a vendetta against the Philly spitter. The transcript could also show whether or not the judge asked Meek to change managers, one of the things that the FBI is interested in as well in their investigation to determine corruption. #FreeMeekMill might just become a reality sooner than everyone thought.

‘HTGAWM’ Recap: Annalise Goes To Battle For A Sex Trafficking Victim

More here:

Source: Mitch Haaseth / Getty Tonight’s episode of How to Get Away With Murder is in flashback format, as per usual. However, it’s one big therapy session between Annalise and her counselor. The episode opens with the reminder that Annalise is living in a hotel, which doesn’t bother her, and she tells her counselor that she took her first case last week since being back. Now we flashback to Annalise taking the case. The case is that of Jasmine, one of the women Annalise met when she was locked up. Jasmine is shocked that Annalise would take her case on, and pro bono at that. Jasmine is a career prostitute and drug addict convicted who was possibly wrongfully convicted on an illegal firearm charge. This woman has a lengthy record and other charges to contend with, winning won’t be easy. via GIPHY Meanwhile, Annalise’s kids are busy trying to figure out their next career moves. They’re interviewing for respective internships and having an awkward time with interviewers who are less interested in them as candidates and more interested what it was like working for Annalise, the notorious.  Later on, Michaela and Asher get call backs to their firm of choice while Connor and Laurel have no luck. Bonnie is moving on with her life away from Annalise. She works at the DA’s office now and she’s bitter af that Annalise let her go. That comes into play a little later, but hold that thought. Jasmine’s case isn’t looking good at first. There’s body camera footage of her soliciting the arresting officer for sex. Then it comes out that Jasmine was pimped out to a crew of savages by her father, at 13-year-old, for some drugs. Basically, this is a nod to broken people getting sucked into a broken system that discards them instead of actually reforming them. via GIPHY Annalise realizes that her client is a sex trafficking victim and reaches out to Bonnie for help because needs Jasmine’s sealed files from when she was a minor, from the DA’s office. Bonnie gets real stank and refuses, but Frank’s stalker behind slides in with the goods. He’s still trying to get back in Annalise’s good graces so he shows up to her hotel room with the info, and even though she’s not thrilled to see him she takes the files. Frank leaves without incident, but tells her that he’s always there when she needs him. via GIPHY Annalise’s counselor is trying to get her to see that this case is close to her heart she she was also a victim of child sex abuse. Annalise denise this, but c’mon son, we know what it is. Anyway, Annalise digs deep in court. She found disparities in how Jasmine’s case was handled as a child. Basically Jasmine was the judge’s only black client and while the judge didn’t send her to jail and sealed her record out of courtesy, he didn’t make sure she was released to a safe  environment. However, he made sure that his white clients were protected. This method of defense is unorthodox because Annalise is gonna Annalise, but she did a good job of making the court see that Jasmine was treated as a criminal instead of a victim and set up for failure. As a result, the judge orders Jasmine’s previous records to be sealed and allows her to get out of jail and be eligible for assistance. As long as Jasmine stays out of court she can live her life and apply for work without worrying about a prior convictions. Annalise is there when a grateful Jasmine gets out of jail and even sends her off with money. However, she reveals to her counselor that she thinks Jasmine will be reaching out to her soon, saying that she’s back on the streets and back on drugs. Hopefully not. Annalise claims she’s done adopting people because she ruins lives, but this wouldn’t be a bad passion project…from a distance. Just wire Jasmine some dough here and there and send some people to keep her lifted and out of trouble. via GIPHY The episode winds down with news that Michaela got an offer from Kaplan and Gold (the firm she and Asher wanted), but Asher didn’t. Laurel urges her to take the job because it’s the firm that represents her father and then she drops the bomb. She reveals that her father killed Wes. Michaela is rightfully stunned. via GIPHY Two months later, we’re at the hospital with Laurel freaking over her missing baby after regaining consciousness. Annalise’s counselor is at the hospital witnessing this. He calls Annalise, who doesn’t pick up, and leaves her a message  wondering where she is but also informing her that Laurel is awake. Then we cut to Bonnie on the bloody scene of a crime. It looks like someone was dragged out of an elevator. We don’t know who it is, but in next week’s preview Annalise is going to be called to identify the body. Lordt. Here we go again.

Tamra Judge: Faking Her Fights for the Camera?

In Real Housewives terms, Tamra Judge seems to be fighting a war on all fronts, at any given time. Her friend-turned-archenemy might still be Vicki Gunvalson, but Tamra seems to be always willing to go off on somebody else. Well, according to an insider’s report, it sounds like Tamra has been faking it all just to stay relevant. Sometimes, you hear a guy drone about how all of his ex-girlfriends were “crazy,” and by the time that he starts describing the fifth or sixth girl, you want to point out that the common factor in all of these relationships was the guy . Well, that’s how we feel about Tamra Judge. She does not get along with a lot of her fellow Real Housewives of Orange County . Vicki Gunvalson and Tamra Judge’s rivalry is intense and an ongoing storyline of the series. Once, they were friends, but competition for the spotlight drove a wedge between them until they became enemies. It’s even been reported that Tamra Judge and Vicki Gunvalson refuse to film together , meaning that their rivalry storyline became so real that it could damage The Real Housewives of Orange County . It was said that both women knew that they wouldn’t be fired and were leveraging their fame to avoid unpleasant encounters. But while you wonder if they’d both stay on top if the camera didn’t show them at each other’s throats, you have to remember that Tamra seems willing to freak out at anyone these days. We’ve all seen Tamra freak out, even at friends like Peggy Sulahian. Recently, we saw  Tamra Judge eviscerated by her daughter Sidney Barney , who exposed her mother by revealing accusations of years of neglect, frightening emotional abuse, an inability to respect anyone’s wishes, and a willingness to exploit her children to feed her own fame. Well, it looks like that’s not all that Tamra is willing to do to stay famous. RadarOnline  reports that, according to their source,  Tamra Judge fakes fights in front of the cameras  just to stay relevant. Isn’t that sad? “Tamra literally starts fights with everyone because she knows that it is the only way that people will keep talking about her.” Well, that seems pretty true. People are only going to have so much to say about Tamra’s, like, exercise recommendations or whatever is left to Tamra if you take away all of the fights. “It seems pointless to everyone on the cast and her friends. She claims to have so many issues with everyone on the cast, and insists that it is everyone else’s fault.” Isn’t that so typical? The thing is that, while playing up conflicts or even creating them just for drama and to continue collecting a paycheck would totally fit with justa bout any reality series … we’re not sure how deliberately Tamra does this. We’re sure that she exaggerates for the camera — who doesn’t? — but Tamra seems to have some issues that cause her to lash out hurtfully at people. Not all monsters are made by cameras, people. Now, let’s be clear: Tamra may be a less-than-likable person and, from what her daughter says, a truly terrible mother … (Tamra has been milking the estrangement from her daughter for sympathy for ages, which is the exact opposite of what Sidney asked her to do) … But we were saddened to hear about her skin cancer diagnosis . That’s no reason for anyone to try to guilt Sidney into trying to rekindle a relationship with her mother, though. And a melanoma diagnosis is not an excuse for Tamra’s bad behavior for the camera. Vicki Gunvalson isn’t exactly blameless for their feud, but Tamra can’t possibly be the victim in every single conflict. Either she has some serious social aggression issues … or Tamra is faking it to make it.
