Halle Bailey Requests Sole Custody of Son After DDG's Alleged Attacks
Originally appeared on E! Online
Warning: This story discusses allegations of domestic violence and emotional abuse.
Halle Bailey has taken steps to protect her son Halo.
In addition to the temporary domestic violence restraining order she was granted against her ex DDG (real name Daryl Dwayne Granberry Jr.) on May 13, the Little Mermaid actress was also given sole physical and legal custody of the pair's 16-month-old until a June 4 court hearing, according to documents obtained by E! News. She has requested to have full legal and physical custody of their son moving forward.
Given the temporary court order, DDG must keep at least 100 yards away from both Halle and Halo, including her home and vehicle, and is also barred from personally contacting the Color Purple actress. Additionally, the 'Moonwalking in Calabasas' rapper is not allowed any visitation with Halo until 'further order of the court.'
Halle—whose relationship with DDG ended in October after two years of dating—was also granted an order to prevent child abduction due to the 'Impatient' rapper's alleged history of physically and verbally abusing her, taking Halo without her permission and not cooperating with co-parenting. Due to the approved order, DDG 'must not apply for passports or other documents that can be used for travel.'

E! News has reached out to DDG's rep for comment and has not yet heard back.
In Halle's restraining order and custody request, she described multiple alleged altercations with DDG. In one alleged dispute from January, she said she was helping to buckle Halo into the 'I'm Geekin' rapper's car when he slammed her face against the steering wheel, leaving her with bruises on her arm and a chipped tooth, according to the docs, which included photos of the injuries.
'I then stopped fighting back as I was in a lot of pain,' she wrote in the order, adding elsewhere, 'Darryl lacks an understanding of how his actions impact Halo. He is often verbally abusive towards me in front of Halo.'
In other altercations, Halle detailed receiving a 'threatening text' from DDG in March after he allegedly entered her home while she wasn't there. Days later, he allegedly locked the actress out of her house, stole her phone and drove away before throwing it out of his car window.
Halle and DDG are set to appear in court on June 4. Until then, read on to look back through their two-year relationship.

I Review AI Image Generators. This Is How I Write My Prompts to Get the Best Results
In the messy world of AI image generators, there are a lot of things that can go wrong when you're trying to get the image you see in your head to appear on your screen. I've spent the past year testing and reviewing different AI image generators, and I've generated hundreds of images across services like Midjourney and Dall-E. But they haven't all been winners. A bunch of them have been downright horrifying. But it taught me that the best way to avoid creating a wonky AI image is using a good prompt. Prompt engineering, as experts call it, is knowing what words to use to get AI products to do what you want. For AI images, that means creating a holistic description of what you want, beyond just the characters and setting. I've written a lot of prompts through my testing, and I've learned that no matter what service you use, there are essential elements you need in every prompt for the best results. This is especially important if the generator you're using doesn't have a lot of editing tools, like the ability to upload reference images or fix weird hallucinations. Writing a good AI image prompt is very easy to learn. These are my best expert tips for crafting the right prompt, including some common phrases to use and common mistakes to avoid. Start with these three elements When you first write your prompt, you might feel overwhelmed or like you're not sure where to start. I've been there, and the best place to begin is with the essentials. These are the three necessary elements every prompt needs. Once you have something for each of these, you can build it out from there. Characters and elements in the scene Setting or where it takes place Dimensions, like portrait, landscape or a specific ratio (3:2, 16:9, etc) You might be tempted to add some exclusionary characteristics in your prompt, or things that you do not want in your image. I would caution against it. Even the most prompt-adherent generator is likely to ignore these, or worse, misread the prompt and include something you specifically asked it not to. If you want to eliminate an element from one image, it's usually easier to do that in the editing stage rather than in the original prompt. Specify the style and color palette you want Beyond the "who, what and where" in your basic prompt, you'll want to guide the generator toward a specific style. Here are some of the most popular styles of AI images. Photorealistic: As close to real life as possible. AI image generators aren't great at this, but it's worth trying. Stock photography: Like real photos, but shinier and brighter. Product features: Emphasizes individual elements over the background or scene. Cartoon: Fun, bright and usually less detailed. Illustration: Similar to paintings, pencil sketches. Gaming/Game UI: More advanced than cartoon, sometimes anime-like. Include specific colors you want, too. If you're not picky about the exact shades you want, you can still lead the generator down the right road by specifying if you want warm or cool tones. This Canva image keeps the magic alive with a cartoonish warm-toned image. Katelyn Chedraoui/Canva Magic Media AI You'll want different styles for different projects. Photorealistic AI images are likely to be better suited for professional environments than cartoon-style images, but they might not be right for a creative mock-up. Illustrations might be best for more detail-oriented, creative projects, like building out brainstorming ideas, and gaming is good for first iterations of new characters and worlds. Describe the aesthetic, vibe and emotion Take your prompt a step further and include a description of the overall aesthetic or vibe. This can help elevate your images and reach that extra layer of detail. These details are a jumping-off point to get you in the ballpark of what you want without overwhelming the generator with a novel-length prompt. Here are some common options to include in your prompt. Abstract Anime Medieval Retro Psychedelic Glow, neon Geometric Painting, brushstroke, oil painting Comic Noir Vintage Impressionist Simple, minimalistic Fantasy, sci-fi High tech Surrealist If none of these aesthetics feel right, try picking the closest one and building from there. Include textures, the time period and landmarks. If you care less about the specific style but want to ensure a specific emotional response, try describing that. Often describing the emotional temperature of a scene can jump-start the generator toward a specific kind of visual look. For example, happy scenes tend to have bright colors and a warm feel, no matter if they're photorealistic or illustrations. Stressful scenes might have more detail, cool tones and a foreboding feeling that the generator might show you fits better with a fantasy or nonrealistic aesthetic. Leonardo might not understand "cottage core coastal grandma," but it does understand the rustic feel with blues and warm light. Katelyn Chedraoui/Leonardo AI You can try using more specific or pop culture aesthetics, but there's no guarantee the generator will understand and adhere to them. For example, you might want to consider translating "cottage core coastal grandmother" to "vintage style with a light, breezy, feel using pastel blues and neutral tones." It gets at the same idea with more specific instructions. My AI images still aren't right. What now? Even with a well-written prompt, AI image generators aren't perfect and you'll get some duds. The tech behind the text-to-image generators is advancing, but it's still very much in progress. Tweaking your prompt is the fastest way to troubleshoot big problems. But if issues persist, try narrowing down what exactly is wrong with the images and tracing the problem back to where it may be coming from. For example, if your images aren't professional-looking enough to present, it could be because the style or aesthetic included in your prompt isn't right. Even making smaller changes to your presets, like the image dimensions, can make a big difference in the end results. Midjourney took the "stressful" emotion too far in this image and lost the photorealistic style I wanted. Katelyn Chedraoui/Midjourney AI Many AI image services offer post-generation editing tools that can help you fix smaller errors. Services more geared toward professional creators like Adobe Firefly have extensive tools. More beginner-friendly programs run the gambit, with Leonardo having the most, then Midjourney with an average amount, with Canva having barely any. Still, it can be frustrating not to get what you want after lots of work. Even more frustrating is that sometimes the best thing to do is start over. Resetting your settings to default, rethinking your prompts and beginning anew can feel like going backward. But when nothing else works, it can be a good last resort. At the end of the day, AI image generators are not replacements for creators. They're like other image editing software: You need to spend time getting to know your program, understanding how it works and its editing capabilities. Once you have a handle on your program, you'll have a good understanding of what kind of prompts deliver the best results. These tips will help get you close to what you want in the meantime.

Kendra Wilkinson Reveals Biggest Regret From Her Playboy Mansion Years
Kendra Wilkinson Reveals Biggest Regret From Her Playboy Mansion Years originally appeared on Parade. Kendra Wilkinson rose to fame on the hit 2000s reality show The Girls Next Door, about Hugh Hefner and his "bunnies" living in the Playboy Mansion. While the show made it look like the Playboy Mansion was one giant funhouse, reports years later claimed it was actually a house of horrors. Wilkinson's former co-star Holly Madison has been vocal about the lasting trauma she endured during her time as Hefner's girlfriend, appearing in the explosive A&E docuseries Secrets of Playboy and writing a tell-all memoir, Down the Rabbit Hole. Now, Wilkinson has revealed her biggest regret from her time living in the Playboy Mansion. At a red carpet event, Wilkinson opened up in an interview with Fox News Digital. "The only thing I can say I regret in my life," she said, "is not starting my real estate career while I was living at the Playboy Mansion." The former reality star entered the real estate game during the pandemic, signing with The Agency, of Netflix's Buying Beverly Hills, in July 2020. She since left The Agency for Douglas Elliman, and even starred in a reality show about her career change, called Kendra Sells Hollywood. 🎬 SIGN UP for Parade's Daily newsletter to get the latest pop culture news & celebrity interviews delivered right to your inbox 🎬 "What was I thinking?"

Wilkinson hasn't said much about her time at the Playboy Mansion, but she did reveal a few other regrets from her time there in a 2024 interview with People. 'Why did I have sex with an old man at that age? Why did I do that? Why did I go to the mansion in the first place? Why did I get boobs? Why did I bleach blonde my hair? Why did I?'

Clarkson's Farm star Kaleb Cooper shares health update from A&E after suffering 'painful' injury
Clarkson's Farm star Kaleb Cooper has revealed he suffered a painful foot injury following a game of football earlier this week. The 26-year-old shared an update from A&E on Wednesday, confirming he had fractured his foot after taking a tumble on Tuesday evening. Posting to Instagram, Cooper showed followers a video of his visibly swollen ankle as he hobbled around the farm, grimacing in pain. He said: 'I just got back from football and I'm trying to shut the chickens up and look at that ankle, ahh pain, the pain, the pain!' The following morning, the 26-year-old posted an update from hospital as he prepared for an x-ray. Hours later, he confirmed the ankle was fractured and showed off a medical boot fitted to stabilise the injury. 'Not good,' he wrote, before adding in a separate video that he was now 'hobbling around'. Despite the break, Cooper insisted he will still attend this weekend's Three Counties Show, where he's due to appear on Sunday. He said: 'I may be hobbling around as I have fractured my ankle but I will still be at the Three Counties Show on Sunday. 'I've got my Kaleb Cooper contracting stand there, Hawkstone cider, as well as I'll be doing talks through out the day on the Sunday, so do pop along to say hello. 'I am looking forward to this one even though I maybe hobbling around I will be there.' The news comes after viewers criticised Cooper for being frosty towards with temporary farmhand Harriet Cowan on the latest series of Clarkson's Farm. Cowan was brought in to cover Cooper's absence while he embarked on a live stage tour. But when he returned, viewers were quick to pick up on his standoffish behaviour — with one tense scene showing Cooper silently inspecting Cowan's work before making a pointed remark about fertiliser. The interaction sparked backlash, with some fans labelling Cooper 'rude' and 'childish', and even suggesting he should be dropped from the show. Others criticised him for being unwelcoming to a newcomer doing her job. Jeremy Clarkson himself appeared to call out the behaviour during filming, joking that Cooper had contracted 'c*** flu' after spending too long being pampered on tour and needed to re-acclimate to farm life. However, Cooper and Cowan have since found friendlier footing, with later episodes showing them getting on.
