  American singer Ne-Yo and his wife Crystal Smith renewed their wedding vows in April, but it appears their reconciliation was short-lived. On Saturday night (July 30), Smith shared an Instagram post alleging her famous husband is still cheating on her and now she’s finally ready to walk away from the relationship. “8 years of lies and deception,” she began. “8 years of unknowingly sharing my life and husband with numerous of women who sell their bodies to him unprotected… every last one of them! To say I’m heartbroken and disgusted is an understatement. To ask me to stay and accept it is absolutely insane. The mentality of a narcissist. “I will no longer lie to the public or pretend that this is something it isn’t. I choose me, I choose my happiness and health and my respect.”  Ne-Yo and Smith exchanged vows in 2016 during an oceanside ceremony about an hour outside of Los Angeles. They had three children together — Roman Alexander-Raj, Shaffer Chimere Jr. and Isabella Rose — which s

A woman who sued Bob Dylan for allegedly sexually abusing her when she was 12 has dropped her case, just after the folk-rock artist’s legal team accused her of destroying evidence Last year August, the plaintiff who remains unnamed and was identified only as J.C., had filed a suit alleging that Dylan abused her over a six-week period between April and May of 1965. It alleged Dylan “exploited his status as a musician” to provide “alcohol and drugs and sexually abuse her multiple times” at the famed Chelsea hotel in Manhattan. The suit also accused Dylan, who turned 81 in May, of physically threatening the girl. At the time a spokesperson for Dylan, who was born Robert Zimmerman, had dubbed the accusation “untrue.” In a letter Dylan’s legal team filed with the federal court on Wednesday, they accused the plaintiff of deleting important text messages and suggested that “monetary sanctions” were necessary. On Thursday Dylan’s lawyers said the plaintiff had dropped the case. Lawyers for the

  Although, there’s no official word yet, it appears like Shakira and Gerard Piqué’s relationship is moving in a clear direction. The Colombian singer is close to moving to Miami with her kids, and the soccer player is on board with the idea. For the benefit of their children Milan and Sasha, it also appears that the Barcelona footballer wants to close this chapter of his life in the best possible manner, without animosity. And Gerard Piqué illustrates this by wishing the Colombian celebrity the best in a message that he gave to her. He knows that whatever transpires between them, for better or worse, will be expressed in their children. Piqué wants to maintain order at the celebration because of this. Barcelona’s message, which makes it apparent that their 12-year union is essentially over and without agreement, was released by a person close to him. He further stresses that now, for both of them, their children should come first. Prior to their meeting the next week, the player repor

He said, “Anyone who says ‘words hurt’ has never been punched in the face.” “Yeah, that s – – t hurt, motherf – – ker — but I shook that s – – t off and went to work the next day.” Hart brought a live goat onstage and presented it as “Will Smith” during the event. The next day, Rock clarified during his performance at the PNC Bank Arts Center in Holmdel, New Jersey, when he riffed about people being excessively sensitive. “I’m not a victim, motherf – – ker,” the “Grown Ups” star declared. “I don’t go to the hospital for a paper cut.” This was the first time Rock has spoken about th

  Amber Heard has disclosed that her financial status is not good at all following the trial against her ex-husband Jonny Deep, but the actress startled everyone by filing for bankruptcy after finding herself unable to pay the Pirates of the Caribbean actor’s court punishment. Social media was flooded with recordings, comments, and even live feeds of the testimony given by both actors throughout the course of the proceedings’ several weeks. Once the trial was over, the jury decided that Heard was responsible for Johnny Depp’s $10 million in damages. Depp would also be required to pay $2 million in damages. The Aquaman actress’ legal team informed the judge that she would not have enough money to repay the obligation as soon as the judge’s decision was made. Heard has since been involved in a court battle to find alternatives to paying the $10 million. She has reportedly appealed the jury’s verdict in order to have the amount reduced. According to a statement from the artist’s represent

  Controversial Nigerian artist, Habeeb Okikiola, popularly known as Portable, has been disqualified from the 15th edition of Headies Awards scheduled to hold this year. The organizers yesterday evening gave reasons for Portable’s disqualification.

  Formula One teams say they need a quick decision, preferably before the August break, on proposed 2023 technical changes that aim to end the sport's 'porpoising' problem but have divided the paddock.  The governing FIA wants to tackle vertical oscillation, a phenomenon where cars bounce at speed like a porpoise through water. The problem is a consequence of this year's major aerodynamic changes. The plan is to raise the floor edges of cars by 25mm and perform more stringent lateral floor deflection tests. Some teams, such as Ferrari and Red Bull, who do not have a problem with porpoising argue that the proposals favour those who got this year wrong and should not be forced through on safety grounds. Either way, all need to know what rules apply for 2023 to avoid wasting precious time and resources under the cost cap, with new car development and design ramping up after August. "It's not yet too late, but we can't afford waiting another four or six weeks,&
