Source: Dimitrios Kambouris / Getty A$AP Rocky was just released from prison pending the verdict of his trial in Sweden. via TMZ A$AP Rocky was just released from jail while the judge in his Swedish assault case decide his fate. The announcement in court was met with cheer from onlookers. A$AP is free to leave Sweden while they await a verdict, which is expected August 14. The other 2 defendants are also released and free to leave. Prosecutors had asked that Rocky, who’s spent a month in jail, remain there because he was a flight risk, but the judges disagreed. Reading between the lines, the fact that the judges are letting him leave the country may be a sign he won’t be found guilty.

Source: Marvel Studios / Marvel Studios A few weeks ago at San Diego’s Comic Con Marvel revealed it’s movie slate for MCU’s phase 4 which included some highly anticipated projects including Blade starring Mahershala Ali as the vampire killing Daywalker and Thor 4, but noticeably absent was any mention of the sequel to everyone’s favorite Black superhero, Black Panther 2 . Though we know it’s definitely happening and director Ryan Coogler is penning the script, we haven’t gotten much else other than rumors about Killmonger possibly returning to Wakanda (Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige basically shot that rumor down recently). While official word on Black Panther 2 remains scarce, We Got This Covered is reporting that the villain for the highly anticipated sequel has been nailed down and it’s none other than the merman known as Namor. The Sub-Mariner will be T’Challa’s main antagonist when we all return to Wakanda for the next adventure. According to our sources – the same ones who told us that the real Mandarin will appear in Shang-Chi and Taskmaster will be the villain inBlack Widow, both of which were later confirmed by Marvel – the studio has chosen Namor to be the main antagonist of Black Panther 2. The specifics of his role are still a bit unclear, but like we said above, the sequel will see him trying to take control of Wakanda and become its ruler. As with any scoop of this kind, we imagine Marvel may deny it publicly as they so often do, but as we mentioned above, our sources are usually pretty reliable, so we feel fully confident in their intel. And while things can always change in the development process given how early on it still is, for now, it seems that Namor will finally be making his big screen debut in Ryan Coogler’s Black Panther 2 . This shouldn’t come as a surprise as rabbit-eared fans caught the easter egg in Avengers: Endgame when Okoye mentioned underwater earthquakes off the coast of Africa. Could it be the city of Atlantis readying to make its presence known to the world? We don’t know but fans were quick to point out the possibility and that Namor would soon be joining Marvel’s cinematic universe. Though Marvel hasn’t confirmed the news We Got This Covered is also reporting that they’re eyeing Crazy Rich Asians star Henry Golding to take on the role of the hotheaded anti-hero. No word yet on when Black Panther 2 will be making its way into theaters but rumors have it dropping November of 2021 or February 2022. Either way, we can’t wait.

Source: Michael Campanella / Getty Swedish prosecutors have it in for A$AP Rocky . Reportedly, they want the Harlem rapper to serve 6-months in jail for his part in a brawl in Stockholm. The “Goldie” rapper insists he was acting self-defense. According to TMZ , the crux of the prosecution’s case is that A$AP Rocky hurled a bottle at the victim. However, witnesses say they never saw the rapper throw a bottle, although he admitted picking it up. Because of the bottle, prosecutors have requested to the judges that A$AP to do at least 6-months in jail. The sentence won’t be handed down for another week or so. Also, once again Donald Trump has tried to intervene , allegedly sending a letter requesting A$AP and his co-d’s be moved to a hotel. The letter is unprecedented, and the court rejected it. We get the feeling time served would have been more than enough if this was Aeson Rock. And you know why. A$AP’s mother, Renee Black (pictured above), has been in attendance during the trial.
Source: JGI/Jamie Grill / Getty Funeral To Be Held For Twins In Accidental Hot Car Death As we previously reported, 39-year-old Juan Rodriguez has been charged in the accidental hot car death of his 1-year-old twins. In an update, CBS reveals a funeral for his babies will take place today. “Today there will be a funeral for 1-year-old twins who died after their father left them in a car, apparently by accident. Juan Rodriguez is charged with manslaughter, criminally negligent homicide, and endangering the welfare of a child. There’s been 24 hot car deaths this year,” the news site tweeted out, alongside a clip detailing the incident. If you aren’t aware of what happened, the story is absolutely horrific . A disabled war veteran, Rodriguez was supposed to drop his kids off prior to going into work (where he cares for the homeless and other vets). Rodriguez dropped his 4-year-old son off at daycare, then went about his day, forgetting that his twins were in the backseat and needed to be dropped off at their separate daycare center. Rodriguez parked at the hospital where he works at 8:22 a.m. and didn’t return to his car until 4 p.m. Then, 10 minutes after he left work and drove off, he pulled over because he realized what he’d done. “I left them in the car!” he reportedly screamed, as witnesses called 911. His kids were pronounced dead on the scene. Today there will be a funeral for 1-year-old twins who died after their father left them in a car, apparently by accident. Juan Rodriguez is charged with manslaughter, criminally negligent homicide, and endangering the welfare of a child. There's been 24 hot car deaths this year. pic.twitter.com/DwbmByS2hs — CBS This Morning (@CBSThisMorning) August 2, 2019 We are deeply sorry to report this story and we are praying for Rodriguez and his family at this time.

In a stunning twist that truly no one saw coming, 90 Day Fiance star Jay Smith was released from ICE custody this week. His bailout came as a major surprise for several reasons, but a lot of fans want to hear from him. How does Jay feel about his incarceration? What are his plans now? Will he just wait for deportation or is he going to fight for legal residency? Here is what Jay has to say in his first statement since his release: 1. Jay did not have a fun July He spent almost the entire month behind bars. Now, for the first time, he is breaking his silence. 2. Ashley took out a protection order On July 1, she obtained a Protection From Abuse order. Jay had allegedly broken into her home, and Ashley apparently had evidence of alleged abuse during their marriage (awful stuff). The goal of the PFA was to keep Jay away. 3. Jay promptly broke the rules As you can see in his fateful Instagram Story, Jay discussed the PFA … which he’s not allowed to do. This was a violation, and so the police contacted him and told him that he would be arrested. 4. Jay did the smart thing, here He voluntarily turned himself in to authorities, and even implied as much on Instagram — even if most followers didn’t yet know what was going on. 5. Jay followed through and was arrested Because he is not an American citizen (or even, it is believed, a legal resident), Jay was then placed in ICE custody. 6. Even Ashley was devastated This is not how she wanted this to end. Yes, Jay had cheated on her — and allegedly done much worse — but the part of her that still loves him hated the idea of him spending weeks at a time in a cell. View Slideshow
Another Jersey Shore wedding is almost upon us! Okay, so Mike Sorrentino and Lauren Pesce actually got married back in November, but on the show, they're just now entering the final preparation stage. And — as is pretty much always the case these days — Ronnie Magro is dropping the ball and making things more complicated for everyone. To be fair, however, Ronnie has a lot on his plate, and it seems he's once again being abused by Jen Harley, whose love language is punching. It all unfolded in ugly fashion on Jerzday night's episode of Jersey Shore: Family Vacation. Take a look: 1. A Simpler Time Or was it? As far as we can tell, Ronnie and Jen’s relationship has always been abusive — a fact that’s never prevented them from posing for “happy family” selfies. 2. Not-So-Fond Memories To remind us of how long this has been going on, Thursday’s episode of Jersey Shore took us back to late 2018, a time when Ronnie’s lies about Jen were so apparent that his castmates’ frustration was beginning to show. 3. A Bad Situation When Ron nearly missed Mike Sorrentino’s sentencing, he claimed that he had been jumped in a parking lot in Secaucus, New Jersey — but last night, the truth came out. 4. A Happier Couple As Mike and Lauren’s wedding planning comes to a head, Ronnie is absent for several key events, which is a problem, as he’s one of the best men, and there’s a whole freakin’ dance routine involved. 5. The Explainer The reason, of course, is all the drama surrounding his relationship with Jen, a fact Ron finally makes clear in a series of Instagram posts. 6. Confirming the Obvious “Sorry for lying to my friends and family, sometimes u love people so much your willing to lie and the hurt the people that love u the most to protect,” Ron wrote.

Most tattoo artists will tell you that couples tattoos are a jinx. No one knows why, but it seems the universe simply can’t resist the allure of laughing at someone who gets permanently inked in honor of their significant other, only to watch the relationship crumble within a matter of months. To be clear, we do not think that’s what’s gonna happen to the Teen Mom franchise’s most stable couple. Still, Cole DeBoer’s tattoo commemorating his proposal to Chelsea Houska is a bit of a cringe. Cole shared his newest ink in an Instagram photo album on Thursday. “More additions from the master artist himself @robbie_portfolio51 the scene of me proposing to my beautiful wife @chelseahouska and one badass eagle!!!!” he captioned the pic. Now, before you race to the comments to flame us for doing the unthinkable and criticizing Cole, let us just say that the sentiment is beautiful, and the technical execution of the tattoo is very impressive. But relationship tatts are always questionable, and getting a scene from your life etched into your flesh in photo-realistic detail is a little creepy. Like, Cole now has a tattoo of himself on his arm. Again, we understand the motivation behind the tatt, but it just seems like the sort of thing that might not age terribly well. And we’re really, really hoping getting a tattoo of your proposal photo doesn’t become a trend. But hey we’re sure Chelsea appreciated it and eagles, as a species, are probably pretty happy with being depicted on Cole’s forearm. After all, this is the guy that recently saved Chelsea Houska’s life . And we don’t mean he swooped in and gave her new hope following her messy breakup from Adam Lind . We mean Chelsea was choking, and Cole swooped in and administered a life-saving Heimlich maneuver. Suddenly, your husband remembering to switch over the laundry like you asked doesn’t seem as heroic, does it, Karen?! Obviously, we ragged on Cole’s choices in skin art a bit today, but the guy really does seem like a decent and genuine partner to Chelsea and a truly devoted father. We’d say he’s the best baby daddy in the Teen Mom franchise, but that would be damning him with faint praise. We’re pretty sure a plastic bag on a stick could’ve claimed that title before Cole came along. View Slideshow: Chelsea Houska & Cole DeBoer to Star in Teen Mom Spinoff!
