Jessica Alba Planning Family Trip With Cash Warren Following Divorce: ‘Conscious Uncoupling'
Jessica Alba and Cash Warren are keeping things civil in the wake of their divorce, as evidenced by their cozy family get together over Easter, and a source exclusively tells Life & Style that they're looking to follow up with cozy getaways in the months ahead – much to the relief of their three young kids. 'As much as Jessica is embracing change for herself, she's still very concerned about maintaining as much of the status quo for her kids as she can. Doing holidays with Cash feels like an important tradition to try to maintain,' Life & Style's insider explains. 'Hayes is only 7, he wants both his parents there when he does his Easter egg hunt. Honor and Haven are teenagers but it's still important for Jess that they feel they have some semblance of a family.' To maintain their family bond, the Honey actress, 44, 'wants them all to take a family trip together somewhere.' Of course, the dynamic would look different than before. The insider shares that the family 'can rent a villa so they can have separate rooms, she's got no designs on getting back together, this is really for the kids more than anything.' 'She's following Gwyneth [Paltrow's] advice on conscious uncoupling and a family trip is something she and Chris did after their divorce that was very healing,' the source continues. 'Jessica loves what Gwyneth has created with Chris [Martin] and would love to have that with Cash. They are best friends, she doesn't see why they need to totally chuck out their relationship, it just needs to transform into something new.' Jessica and Cash, 46, separated in December 2024 and both parties filed for divorce two months later. Despite pulling the plug on their 16-year marriage, the former couple have maintained a united front for the kids. The family matriarch shared photos of their lovely Easter celebration on April 20, which included a precious family snapshot and other pictures of their petting zoo and Easter egg hunt. While closing one door on her marriage with Cash, Jessica is ready to 'have some fun' on the market. 'This has been over between Cash and Jessica in a romance sense for a long time. She even said it straight up – they became like roommates,' a second insider exclusively told Life & Style in a story published on March 13. 'Things have wrapped up with no ugliness, so that's not weighing her down. As far as divorces go, it's going smoothly.' The second source also noted that Jessica's public presence 'will be to socialize and network, but also to meet quality guys.' 'No doubt plenty of high-profile men will use the classic Hollywood way and have their managers reach out to her team and go that route, and she will be open to that,' the second insider continued. 'She's not ruling out dating a regular guy, but she's taking her friends' advice and plans to try dating someone at her level of celebrity. They're all telling her that it will be a better power balance and rule out some of the issues she had with Cash.' Two months later, the Fantastic Four star was spotted with a mystery man in London. Jessica was captured on camera as she got a massage from the man, who was covered up in a hoodie and baseball cap.

Security Guard Diddy Paid $100K For Cassie Assault Video Testifies As Screaming Woman Forcibly Removed From Court
Source: Variety / Getty Diddy's sex trafficking and racketeering trial has largely been supported by victim testimonies, text messages and photos like the ones of Kid Cudi's burned Porsche, but the most damning has been the video. The video of Diddy beating and dragging his then girlfriend, Cassie, through the hallways of a California hotel made its way through the court of public opinion, and now it's the subject of the latest person to testify against him. Eddie Garcia, who worked at the InterContinental in Los Angeles in March 2016, took the stand to tell the story of how much Diddy never wanted the tape to see the light of day. According to NBC News , he remembers clocking in to work that day, brought up to speed about the assault, but 'was told Ms. Ventura did not request the presence of police or medical attention.' In the days after the assault, Diddy's team began to understand the video's potential damage, as former chief of staff, Kristina Khorram, repeatedly called the hotel to get the footage, and eventually Diddy himself, who tried to justify his actions. 'He was talking really fast, a lot of stuttering,' Garcia remembers Diddy saying, adding that he was ' just saying he had a little too much to drink.' Garcia said Diddy also told him, 'With women, one thing leads to another, and if this got out, it would ruin him.' Garcia says that Diddy was willing to pay for the sole copy of the footage, and his boss agreed to a $50,000 fee. 'He referred to me as 'Eddy, my angel,'' Garcia said. The deal came together as he got on a FaceTime call with Diddy and Ventura, who Diddy told to say she also wanted the video to disappear. The security guard was then told to sign a $1 million penalty NDA, —which was later presented in court— and Diddy walked into a room with a money counter and $100,000 in a brown paper bag. Combs said he doubled the original amount so he could split it with the other security guards who were aware of the situation. Combs warned him not to make any large purchases so as not to draw attention to himself, so he spent the money on a used car. He even contacted Garcia weeks later to ask him if there had been any rumblings about the video, telling him, 'Happy Easter. You are my angel. God is good. God put you in my life for a reason.' Prior to Garcia's account of Diddy paying him off, there was a disruption in the courtroom when a woman in the gallery, who claimed to be a transit employee, began acting up. 'Everyone is laughing at Diddy! It's not right what they're doing to him!' she screamed as U.S. District Court Judge Arun Subramanian instructed her to be removed. See social media's latest responses to the Diddy trial below.

Diddy trial drags Madonna, Judd Apatow, Chadwick Boseman into weekslong battle over rapper's sex-trafficking, racketeering charges
Madonna, director Judd Apatow and late actor Chadwick Boseman are just the latest celebrities to get name-dropped at Sean 'Diddy' Combs' bombshell Manhattan trial. The A-listers came up in rapid succession Monday during the testimony of Combs' ex-assistant Mia — who took the stand under a pseudonym and has accused the disgraced music mogul of sexual assault — as her test messages mentioning the stars were shown to jurors. After leaving Combs' Bad Boy Records in 2017, Mia told the jury that she worked for the 'Queen of Pop' for eight months, in a position where she was in charge of 'a myriad of things.' 'I was hired to lead her film industry. It morphed into multiple roles,' she told jurors in Manhattan federal court, upon questioning by Combs' attorneys. Mia, who began working for Combs in 2009 claimed the powerful record producer tried to blacklist her from the industry after she left his company — but Madonna 'didn't care.' Still, she testified that Combs sought retribution against her by pulling a television show she created and removing her credit from a documentary. Mia texted Combs many times in the years after she stopped working for him, according to her testimony. On March 8, 2019, she told him to watch the Netflix show 'Love,' directed by Apatow. Mia also sent Combs a text on May 14, 2020, about the death of record executive and media mogul Andre Harrell — the man credited with discovering the 'I'll Be Missing You' singer. 'Puff my heart is broken about Dre. I've spent all week crying for you as well,' Mia texted him. Diddy trial live updates: Shocking new details about hotel beating video revealed; security guard says mogul bribed him to bury footage Sean 'Diddy' Combs bribed hotel security guard $100K to hand over Cassie beating video, then called him on Easter: 'God put you in my life for a reason' Sean 'Diddy' Combs fan unleashes profane rant at trial, mogul watches her get dragged from courtroom before day even starts Diddy trial drags Madonna, Judd Apatow, Chadwick Boseman into weekslong battle over rapper's sex-trafficking, racketeering charges Later, she also texted about the sudden August 2020 death of 43-year-old 'Black Panther' star Boseman, who had been battling colon cancer away from the public eye. Combs replied: 'How are you? Yeah, life is crazy,' the court heard. Mia, a former live-in assistant, to Combs has accused him of years of abuse — including rape — over several days on the stand at his racketeering and sex-trafficking trial. Combs, 55, has pleaded not guilty. If convicted, he could face life in prison. The bombshell trial is set to continue on Tuesday with testimony from a security guard who worked at a Los Angeles hotel where Combs was caught on video beating his then-girlfriend Cassie Ventura.
