Chris Brown due to enter plea over ‘bottle attack' charge
R&B singer Chris Brown is due to appear in court to enter a plea after he was charged over an alleged bottle attack at a London nightclub two years ago. The American musician, 36, was able to continue with his scheduled international tour after he was freed on conditional bail last month. Brown, accused of causing grievous bodily harm to Abraham Diaw in February 2023, is set to appear at Southwark Crown Court on Friday morning alongside his co-defendant, US national Omololu Akinlolu, 38, for a plea and trial preparation hearing. The Go Crazy singer had to pay a £5 million security fee to the court as part of the bail agreement, which is a financial guarantee to ensure a defendant returns to court and may be forfeited if they breach bail conditions. Brown and Akinlolu have both been charged relating to the alleged assault at the Tape venue in Hanover Square in Mayfair on February 19 2023. Manchester Magistrates' Court heard last month that Mr Diaw was standing at the bar of the Tape nightclub when he was struck several times with a bottle, and was then pursued to a separate area of the nightclub where he was punched and kicked repeatedly. Brown was arrested at Manchester's Lowry Hotel at 2am on May 15 by detectives from the Metropolitan Police. He is said to have flown into Manchester Airport on a private jet in preparation for the UK tour dates. Brown was released from HMP Forest Bank in Salford, Greater Manchester, on May 21. Shortly after being released from prison, Brown posted an Instagram story referencing his upcoming tour. It said: 'FROM THE CAGE TO THE STAGE!!! BREEZYBOWL.'

Unbeknownst to Joey, Michael is stuck in the building. It's time for the window cleaner to channel her inner John McClane and save the day. Stream Cleaner on Max. Dredd (2012) One of the mysteries surrounding Dredd is the involvement of writer Alex Garland. Did he take over for Pete Travis and direct the movie? After over a decade of rumors, Garland finally came clean this year to GQ, admitting to 'ghost-directing' the sci-fi action film. Knowing Garland's filmmaking style now, it's clear the Ex Machina director stepped in and improved Dredd. Based on the Judge Dredd comic strip, Dredd introduces audiences to Mega City One, an overcrowded and violent metropolis on the East Coast. Nearly 20,000 crimes are reported daily. The only semblance of the law exists with the judges — cops who are judge, jury, and executioner. The most prominent judge is Dredd (Karl Urban). The famed judge and a rookie judge (Olivia Thirlby) must restore order to a 200-story high-rise apartment run by drug lord Ma-Ma (Lena Headey). With terrific special effects and gritty action, Garland might be the best sci-fi filmmaker currently in Hollywood. Stream Dredd on Max. Love Lies Bleeding (2024) Love Lies Bleeding has the vibes of Natural Born Killers and a Coen Brothers neo-noir. Set in 1989, the romantic thriller chronicles the lesbian relationship between Lou (Kristen Stewart), a hermit-like gym owner, and Jackie (Katy O'Brian), a bodybuilder preparing for a competition in Las Vegas. The two sleep together and fall in love. Lou even supplies Jackie with steroids to compete at a higher level. Things take a sinister turn after Lou and Jackie are caught in a murder conspiracy that requires a cover-up. We'll stop there to avoid spoilers. Expect blood, sex, and violence in this brutal and effective thriller. Stream Love Lies Bleeding on Max.

We wanted to congratulate him on his knighthood and see if he would support us with our project. "One of the people there was his mother Sandra - and it was quite an intimate moment for him and his mother. "I felt really bad afterwards thinking I had disturbed his special moment. He is a true gentleman and spent a few moments with us to talk about our charity and his award." Mr Kapashiawala said the star was "very generous" for still making time to chat about his foodbank charity.
