Sean Combs returns key to New York City after Cassie attack video | Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs

Sean Combs has returned his key to New York City after a request from mayor Eric Adams in response to the release of a video showing the music mogul nicknamed “Diddy” attacking R&B singer Cassie, officials said Saturday. The mayor’s office said Combs returned the key after Adams sent letters to the embattled musician’s offices in New York and California on 4 June rescinding the key and asking for it to be sent back to City Hall. The city received the key on 10 June. In his letter, Adams wrote he was “deeply disturbed” by the attack, adding: “I strongly condemn these actions and stand in solidarity with all survivors of domestic and gender-based violence.” Combs’ career has been derailed by numerous accusations of sexual abuse, as well as a federal criminal sex-trafficking investigation that led to raids of Combs’ mansions in Los Angeles and Miami. In May, CNN aired security video of Combs attacking Cassie in a hotel hallway in Los Angeles in 2016. Combs, who initially denied the attack, has said he is …

Sean Lennon calls Prince Harry an ‘idiot’

Sean Lennon calls Prince Harry an ‘idiot’

John Lennon’s son Sean has blasted Prince Harry, Duke of Sussex, as an ‘idiot’ in a belated review of his tell-all memoir. Lennon bashed the royal’s book Spare on social media, giving the January 2023 release a scathing critique. “My long-awaited review of Prince Harry’s autobiography is two words. ‘Spare Me,’” the musician joked via X. When fellow social media users came to the Duke’s defence, Sean doubled down on his negative review. “I do empathise with him generally. But the way he whines and wangs on about things is really too much,” he wrote. “I’m just having a little fun. I think he’s earned some mockery. (I’m sure I have as well).” When one fan wrote that writing Spare took “courage”, Lennon joked that the particular revelation about Harry’s frostbitten penis certainly did. The songwriter noted that while he is aware of what he and the Duke of Sussex have in common, he considers Harry an “idiot” and a “buffoon”. He tweeted, “I’m very disappointed with his outlook. I was hoping he’d be smarter.” …

‘Selling the OC’s Austin Victoria and Castmates Explain Sean Palmieri Drama: Where They Stand After Season 3

‘Selling the OC’s Austin Victoria and Castmates Explain Sean Palmieri Drama: Where They Stand After Season 3

Who knew the Oppenheim Group’s Newport Beach, California, office patio could double as a fight ring? It nearly did on season 3 of Selling the OC, as Austin Victoria squared up with Sean Palmieri after a rumor circulated within the cast circle that Austin and his wife, Lisa, had made some sort of advance on Sean one night when he came over for dinner.  “Everything was fabricated, everything was a lie that was said,” Austin tells ET, sitting down with his castmates — Kayla Cardona, Ali Harper, Alexandra Rose, Jason Oppenheim and Brandi Marshall — to discuss the just-released episodes. “What truly happened the night that he came over to my house, we were just texting back and forth, my wife and I, we’re gonna have dinner, she was gonna bake some cookies and I just got an Oculus — a VR, I’m a big gamer — so Sean and I are texting back and forth,” Austin recalls. “He asked if he could join us. I said, ‘Sure,’ so he joined us for dinner. My wife …

Mark and Sean Harmon on What to Expect From the ‘NCIS: Origins’ Prequel (Exclusive)

Mark and Sean Harmon on What to Expect From the ‘NCIS: Origins’ Prequel (Exclusive)

Mark and Sean Harmon are ready to peel back and reveal everything there is to know about Leroy Jethro Gibbs. The father-son duo are serving as executive producers of NCIS: Origins, the prequel to the iconic NCIS franchise set to come to the CBS fall lineup later this year. And while speaking to ET’s Kevin Frazier on Thursday at the CBS Schedule Reveal Celebration at the Paramount Studios Lot in Los Angeles, California, the Harmons made it clear that they are laser-focused on how exactly they want to travel down memory lane. “It’s all going to be a time that we haven’t traveled before. It’s 1990, so it’s something we’re all looking forward to,” said Mark, who portrayed Special Agent Gibbs during his incredible 19-season run on NCIS. “It will be different.” NCIS: Origins is the brainchild of Sean, who concocted the idea while playing the younger version of Special Agent Gibbs during flashback episodes. “This is an idea we worked on for a long time and just really happy to finally be at this point in the …

Everything you need to know about Sean Bean’s love life

Everything you need to know about Sean Bean’s love life

After tying the knot five times, Sean Bean has described himself as something of a “romantic.” Speaking candidly in 2022, the actor said: “I’ve obviously experienced more marriages than most people.  “I suppose there is that romantic in me, otherwise I wouldn’t keep doing it. But I don’t regret anything. I’d live it all again.” Nowadays, Sean – who found love with his fifth wife, Ashley Moore – is happily settled in Somerset and enjoys spending time with his three children, and four grandchildren. Here, we take a closer look at his family life… Is Sean Bean married? Sean has been married five times. He originally tied the knot with his childhood sweetheart Debra James back in 1981, with the pair splitting seven years later. He eventually married fellow actor Melanie Hill in 1990 before the pair split in 1997. Later that year, Sean went on to marry his Sharpe co-star Abigail Cruttenden. They split in 2000.  The actor tied the knot with his fourth wife, Georgina Sutcliffe, in February 2008 after the pair originally cancelled …

The Immunity Con | Sean Wilentz

The Immunity Con | Sean Wilentz

On April 25 the Supreme Court heard oral arguments in Trump v. United States, on whether a former president enjoys immunity from prosecution for crimes committed while in office. The Court did not need to accept the case; it could easily have passed on former President Donald Trump’s extraordinary claims of blanket immunity and allowed his trial on federal felony charges for attempting to overthrow the 2020 election to go forward. But since a federal grand jury in Washington indicted him over the election, the Court has done everything possible, as I argued recently in these pages, to delay the case from being brought to trial: first by refusing to rule expeditiously on the immunity motions back in December, then by taking the case in February, then by setting oral arguments for the very last day on its schedule. As a result, even before the recent oral arguments, it appeared likely that Trump would not be tried on the election charges until, at best, shortly before voters go to the polls in November.  This sluggishness was …

‘I want to show more crotch!’ Sean Bankhead on his raunchy dances for Beyoncé, Cardi B, Lil Nas X and more | Dance

‘I want to show more crotch!’ Sean Bankhead on his raunchy dances for Beyoncé, Cardi B, Lil Nas X and more | Dance

This year’s Super Bowl was watched by more than 120 million people in the US, almost as many as watched the moon landings. And in the half-time show, right behind R&B superstar Usher, there was Sean Bankhead dancing. “It was a really overwhelming sensory experience,” says Bankhead. “It was hot, muggy, sweaty and it stunk like a football game.” Bankhead, 35, officially hung up his dancing shoes a few years ago to focus on choreography for the likes of Missy Elliott, Normani, Katy Perry, FKA twigs, recent Grammy winner Victoria Monét and Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion (whose 2021 Grammy performance of WAP he masterminded) but he couldn’t turn down the chance to dance with Usher, one of his childhood heroes. “I messed up so many times. We performed on the actual grass and there were chunks missing. But it was a rush.” They are not ashamed of their bodies. They love their sexuality. And I’m right there supporting them It has been quite a year for Bankhead so far. As well as the …

Strap in for Sean Penn’s pummelling paramedic drama

Strap in for Sean Penn’s pummelling paramedic drama

Thirty-five years ago, Sean Penn was still honing his craft as the rookie cop on despatch in Dennis Hopper’s Colors. Now, behind the wheel of an ambulance, it’s his shift as the grizzled veteran of our duo in the paramedics-on-call drama Black Flies, which rarely explores the lighter side of being a first responder. Arrestingly grim from the off, Jean-Stéphane Sauvaire’s film certainly sustains a mood – one of raging urban stress and cramped horizons, where fighting off a sense of despair goes hand-in-hand with defibrillating. With its episodic form and the chronic red bleed of emergency lights over whatever we’re seeing, it owes a great deal to Martin Scorsese’s Bringing Out the Dead (1999). The Catholic overlay of that picture hasn’t quite given up the ghost, either – check out the angel wings on the back of Tye Sheridan’s bomber jacket. Confirming his ongoing willingness to get down and dirty, Sheridan exudes fatigue as Ollie Cross, the greenhorn side-by-side with Penn’s Gene Rutkovksy on call-outs to one dire emergency after another. A gunshot victim …

Trump’s Delayed Reckoning | Sean Wilentz

Trump’s Delayed Reckoning | Sean Wilentz

On April 25 the Supreme Court will hear oral arguments to address what it has identified as the central issue in the case Donald J. Trump v. United States: “Whether and if so to what extent does a former President enjoy presidential immunity from criminal prosecution for conduct alleged to involve official acts during his tenure in office.” The crucial words here are “for conduct alleged to involve official acts.” Trump’s attorneys have contended that their client’s interference in the 2020 election involved his official duties, which therefore renders him immune from prosecution. That the Court is entertaining this argument is cause for concern. Last month, in overturning Trump’s disqualification from the Colorado ballot over his role in the insurrection of January 6, 2021, the majority disfigured the Fourteenth Amendment. Now the Court is signaling that it may tamper once again with established legal precedent and even with the Constitution itself. Already, however, the Court’s handling of the immunity case has played heavily to Trump’s advantage. By declining to expedite the process back in December, …

McCartney and Lennon sons, James and Sean Ono, team up for new song ‘Primrose Hill’

McCartney and Lennon sons, James and Sean Ono, team up for new song ‘Primrose Hill’

Last year saw the release of the Beatles’ new song: “Now And Then,” which was promoted as the band’s final single — but there’s a new McCartney/Lennon pairing. Paul and the late Linda McCartney’s son (and youngest offspring), James McCartney has released a new song with his close friend and John Lennon‘s son, Sean Ono Lennon. The pair co-wrote the song, titled “Primrose Hill.” “I had a vision as a child in Scotland, on what was a lovely summer’s day,” James McCartney wrote in a April 2 tweet ahead of the song’s release. “Letting go, I saw my true love and saviour in my mind’s eye. ‘Primrose Hill’ is about getting the ball rolling with me & finding this person.” James McCartney has contributed to solo music from both of his parents, and he also released a few of his own records as well. Sean Ono Lennon has released several solo records and has performed with bands such as Cibo Matto, his own Ghost of a Saber Tooth Tiger, and the Lennon Claypool Delirium (with Primus bassist-singer Les Claypool). Paul McCartney also …
