Diddy trial live: Kid Cudi reacts to car fire and accuses Diddy of 'messing with' dog during break-in
Diddy's lifestyle 'like drinking from a fire hose'
Cross-examination of George Kaplan, Sean "Diddy" Combs's ex-assistant, begins after the prosecution finishes their questions.
Kaplan worked for Diddy for several years up to December 2015 and was subpoenaed to appear at court and has an immunity order, meaning his testimony will not be used against him.
Marc Antony Agnifilo, Diddy's lead lawyer, begins by asking Kaplan to expand on the "incredible time" he had while working for Diddy.
Kaplan says he was young at the time, just realising how big the world was, and says Diddy "made my world so much bigger".
He describes Diddy's knowledge of business and his way of living as being like "drinking from a fire hose".
He says he has been a fan of Diddy since his childhood, adding: "I use [his] work ethic every day, without those lessons I wouldn't have the jobs I have now."
Kaplan describes Diddy as pushing him to his "deepest depths," adding that working for Diddy was "a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity".
We learn that the birthday of the late rapper Notorious BIG - which was yesterday - is marked at Combs Enterprises with a holiday for all staff.

Bride and groom's risqué act in front of wedding guests leaves internet stunned
A bride and groom have left the internet stunned over their risqué act in front of their wedding guests. Haley Finch posted a video of her husband, Austin, removing her garter during their wedding reception to TikTok earlier this, and the sultry interaction quickly went viral. The bride sat in a chair in the middle of the dance floor, while Austin knelt in front of her. He then used his teeth to pull the garter off her leg - which sat high on her thigh. Haley seemed to be enjoying the moment, as she opened her mouth wide with surprise before laughing. But people on the web were shocked by the racy moment... especially since it happened in front of the couple's entire families and friends. 'Absolutely not in public?' one surprised user wrote. 'In front of the WHOLE FAMILY? You're strong,' another person shared. Haley Finch posted a video of her husband, Austin, removing her garter during their wedding reception to TikTok earlier this, and the sultry interaction quickly went viral 'That whole garter thing makes me uncomfortable. We skipped it in our wedding,' someone else revealed, while a fourth said, 'Yeah I am NOT doing the garter removal at my wedding.' A fifth comment read: 'My mom would faint.' 'This should only be done in private after the wedding,' a different viewer said. 'In front of my parents? I WOULD HAVE DIED,' announced someone else. 'I would be so embarrassed...' another person shared. 'Doing this in front of family will never not be weird to me,' admitted one user. Other comments read: 'I think my parents would legitimately have a heart attack,' 'The honeymoon is supposed to be at a different location,' and, 'Dude, this is a wedding, not your bedroom.' However, a few people encouraged the act and defended the couple. One wrote: 'It's a leg, they are MARRIED. People need to relax. It's a normal tradition at the wedding. And it was THEIR WEDDING. Don't like it? Scroll.' A garter is a piece of lingerie that some brides wear under their wedding gowns. It's a longstanding tradition for the bride and groom to do a 'garter toss,' where the man removes the bride's garter in a flirty manner with either his hands or teeth, per Maggie Sottero. The garter is then tossed into a group of single men - and whoever catches it is named the winner, and it's believed he will be the next one who will marry. A wedding garter symbolizes love and luck for your wedding guests as well as being a fun and cheeky tradition.

AMC fans threaten to BOYCOTT after movie theater chain announces shock change
A shocking announcement from AMC has left movie-goers fiercely outraged. Anyone who has gone to the cinema knows the torture of waiting for the film to begin and having to watch a slew of ads about upcoming films and attractions. And now, it's going to get worse as the theater chain revealed this week that it has agreed to run even more commercials before its movies, per Bloomberg. The outlet said that starting July 1, AMC theaters will add one more commercial right before the start of the movie as part of a new deal with American cinema advertising company National CineMedia Inc. According to the publication, AMC will get a cut of the ad sales from the 'platinum spot,' which it described as 'vital revenue.' 'While AMC was initially reluctant to bring this to our theaters, our competitors have fully participated for more than five years without any direct impact to their attendance,' it said in a statement. Fans were not happy with the news, and took to X, formerly Twitter, to slam AMC. 'Now I have even more reason not to go there,' announced one angry user. 'It already takes 30 minutes for the movie to actually start! I DO NOT want to wait any longer,' agreed another. 'No, no and no. I ain't trying to see trailers and ads for 45 mins before my [movie] starts. I got s**t to do,' someone else wrote. 'I honestly think that the movie theater is going to go extinct in the next 10 years,' predicted a different person. 'Boycott AMC,' a fifth tweet read, while a sixth said, 'No thanks, I'll stay home.' Others branded the company as 'tone deaf,' 'trash,' and 'excessive.' Variety reported last month that AMC Theatres' quarterly losses had hit $202.1 million after a 'lack of winter blockbusters.' On its website, AMC currently states that 'there are approximately 20 minutes of preshow material, including trailers, between the published showtime and the start of the feature film.' Last year, a moviegoer lashed out at AMC Theaters after discovering a sneaky fee on their concessions receipt. Fans were not happy with the news, and took to X, formerly Twitter, to slam AMC TikToker Kikntiger detailed his frustration in a video entitled: 'Pretty weak move AMC Theatres.' In it, he explained how after ordering a popcorn and two large drinks at a cost of almost $24, he was then charged an additional $2 delivery fee alongside the usual $1 service fee. 'Delivery fee INSIDE of a movie theater is insane,' he wrote alongside the clip. 'Companies are getting out of control with their fees,' Kikntiger starting by saying in his 45 second rant. 'This is for concessions in a movie theater. You know, this isn't DoorDash!' he added, referring to the popular food delivery app. 'This is at my local movie theater, where the only option to get any snacks is they bring it to you, straight to your seat,' Kikntiger went on. 'You can't just go to the snack counter and order what you want and walk to the theater with it. 'So, OK, whatever - but then they charge you $2 just to deliver it 25 feet from the kitchen? 'Like, you're not driving it to my house. And then a dollar service fee, too? For what? For the privilege of ordering food?' 'I understand concessions are expensive; I don't care about that. But just slapping me with a $2 fee that I can't avoid? Ridiculous,' he said before ending his video. His post quickly went viral, gaining millions of views and erupting in backlash for AMC. A check of Dine-In AMC locations confirms that an additional $3 is added to any food order tab. As per the TikTok video, the charge consists of a $2 Delivery Fee and $1 Service Fee; AMC locations without the Dine-In option charge a $1 flat fee for service.

US charges Kilmar Abrego Garcia with transporting illegal immigrants into the country
Kilmar Abrego Garcia has been charged with in the United States with transporting illegal immigrants into the country, nearly three months after the Trump administration mistakenly deported him to his native El Salvador. The human trafficking charges stem from a 2022 vehicle stop in which the Tennessee Highway Patrol suspected him of human trafficking. A report released by the Department of Homeland Security in April states that none of the people in the vehicle had luggage, while they listed the same address as Abrego Garcia. Abrego Garcia was never charged with a crime, while the officers allowed him to drive on with only a warning about an expired driver's license, according to the DHS report. The report said he was traveling from Texas to Maryland, via Missouri, to bring in people to perform construction work. The Justice Department was expected to announce charges Friday.
