Drake Tells Tory Lanez ‘Come Home Soon' After Prison Stabbing
Drake wants fellow Canadian rapper Tory Lanez to 'come home soon' after he was stabbed multiple times in prison and hospitalized earlier this week.
On his Instagram Story Friday (May 16), Drake wrote '@torylanez come home soon' while sharing a Change.org petition urging California Governor Gavin Newsom to pardon the fellow Toronto MC, who's currently serving a 10-year prison sentence after being convicted on three felony counts tied to his shooting of Megan Thee Stallion during a heated dispute after a Hollywood Hills pool party in July 2020.

TMZ reported Monday that Lanez (real name Daystar Peterson) had been stabbed in the prison yard of California Correctional Institution and rushed to a nearby hospital in Bakersfield, California, to treat his injuries. A statement shared on Lanez's Instagram Story the following day revealed that he had been 'stabbed 14 times, including seven wounds to his back, four to his torso, two to the back of his head and one to the left side of his face. Both of his lungs collapsed, and he was placed on a breathing apparatus. He is now breathing on his own,' the statement reads. 'Despite being in pain, he is talking normally, in good spirits and deeply thankful to God that he is pulling through. He also wants to thank everyone for the continued prayers and support.'
This isn't the first time Drake has shown support to Tory Lanez. In December, during his Drizzmas Giveaway stream with Adin Ross, Drake raised a shot glass to Lanez and declared, '3 up T, man. 3 up T. I know they don't want to hear me say that. 3 up T.' He used a similar plea 10 months earlier when he simply wrote '3 u' on his IG Story.
The two previously feuded but squashed their beef in 2017 via an IG post. Drake brought Lanez out at his OVO Fest the same year to perform 'Controlla' from the former's 2016 album Views together.

Megan Thee Stallion Took Over the Runway at Miami Swim Week
"Hearst Magazines and Yahoo may earn commission or revenue on some items through these links." Miami Swim Week has officially come to a close, and with it not only comes the beginning of summer, but also a fresh outlook on the upcoming resort and swim trends to shop, wear, and love this season and next. After Paraiso Miami Swim Week celebrated its 20th anniversary last year, 2025 marked 40 years of the legacy brand Shan, almost 25 years of Miami-favorite Luli Fama, and 10 years of the ultra-upcoming brand Oséree. This year's event also launched the inaugural edition of the Swimwear Icons Hall of Fame (SIHOF), where Megan Thee Stallion accepted the Cultural Icon Award (and later walked down her own runway). 'I have spent over a decade immersed in this space and felt there was a lack of recognition for the people whose creativity, innovation, and influence helped turn swim into a global cultural force,' says Natalija Dedic-Stojanovic, founder of Paraiso Miami Swim Week. '[SIHOF] honors the legacy of the visionaries who have shaped the swimwear industry across fashion, media, beauty, and culture.' With editors, buyers, models, and influencers—and Rick Ross—buzzing about, this year's event was one for the books. Even outside of swimwear, the collections shown in Miami are both a reflection and an indicator of other upcoming fashion trends to watch out for—burgundy summer, anyone? There's no time like the present to shop our favorite trends of the week, so scroll below for your next dose of summer inspiration. Maybe it's a bit obvious that sea themes would be all over the runways at Miami Swim Week, but this year feels different. Shells, starfish, and mermaid motifs have taken over, even outside of swimwear, and yet we still love to see them in our favorite waterside styles, like sparkling seascapes at Oceanus and underwater hues at Luli Fama. An added bonus? Claire Holt (a.k.a. Emma from H2O: Just Add Water) sat front row at the first show of the week.$156.00 at at at at $19.00 at at mytheresa Stripes of all colorways, silhouettes, and sizes have become a marker of summer style in and out of the swim category.

From tankinis and Hawaiian prints (hello, hibiscus) to fun florals and colorful prints, the height of 2000s nostalgia made a comeback this Miami Swim Week at shows like Leslie Amon and Cupshe.

Whatever your inspiration, get piña colada-ready with these styles.$125.00 at SAME$36.99 at Cupshe$545.00 at at Burgundy is perhaps an unexpected color trend for swimwear, but not to us.

From Messy Moments to Meaningful Memories: 'Once Upon an Amateur Mom' is a Tribute to Mothers Everywhere
New Book 'Once Upon an Amateur Mom' Shares Wit, Wisdom, and Wonder from Everyday Parenting SAN FRANCISCO, CA, UNITED STATES, June 6, 2025 / / -- With heart, humor, and honesty, author Renee Thomas Hawkley returns with her second book, Once Upon an Amateur Mom — a spirited collection of real-life reflections on the joys, challenges, and revelations of motherhood. Drawn from her popular 'Mother's Minutes' newspaper columns, magazine features, heartfelt letters, and email exchanges, Hawkley's stories remind us that while parenting may often feel improvised, the impact of a mother's love is timeless. Whether it's a tender moment or a chaotic kitchen catastrophe, each vignette offers something familiar, funny, or profoundly moving for parents in every stage of the journey. 'As mothers, we are the keepers of moments,' says Hawkley. 'Our work may seem ordinary, but it builds the extraordinary.' A former elementary school teacher with a master's in literacy, Renee brings both educational insight and lived experience to the page. She and her husband Dan, a retired military judge and officer in the U.S. Air Force, raised eight children across six states and two countries — from Utah to the Philippines. Her first book Don't Come in Here! Mom's Throwing Spaghetti! also captured the beautiful chaos of parenting with humor and heart. The message behind Once Upon an Amateur Mom is simple but profound: motherhood links generations — past, present, and future — through love, light, and the small moments that shape lives. As Hawkley reflects in her 'Mother's Creed,' featured in the book: 'My words and deeds, though small, will one day eclipse those of governments and kingdoms. My achievement will endure when even time is a memory; for I am a mother . . .' Whether you're a seasoned parent or just beginning your journey, this collection is a gentle reminder that the amateur moments are often the ones that matter most.

Ally Walker, Star of ‘Sons of Anarchy,' Debuts New Metaphysical Thriller ‘The Light Runner'
LOS ANGELES, Calif., June 6, 2025 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — Red Rabbit Press LLC. presents 'The Light Runner' (ISBN: 978-1966981060). Ally Walker has captivated audiences with unforgettable roles—from June Stahl in 'Sons of Anarchy' to Dr. Sam Waters in 'Profiler.' Her versatility has made her a standout presence in film and television, with memorable performances in 'Universal Soldier' and 'While You Were Sleeping.' After recent appearances in 'Ghosted, Longmire, and Colony,' Walker now brings her storytelling prowess to the page with her debut novel, 'The Light Runner.' With 'The Light Runner,' Walker delivers a metaphysical thriller that bends reality, unravels secrets, and challenges perception. At Bainbridge Psychiatric Hospital, the lines between truth and illusion are dangerously thin. Dr. Ella Kramer, a psychiatrist haunted by her own past, is assigned to Captain Oliver Haskell, a decorated war hero whose fractured mind may hold the key to solving his wife's brutal murder. As she delves deeper into his unraveling psyche, she begins to uncover disturbing patterns among the other patients—patterns that suggest Bainbridge is far more than it seems. Walker's cinematic storytelling shines through in the novel, earning praise from her peers. Actress Sarah Wayne Callies, 'The Walking Dead,' called it 'propulsive, thoughtful, incisive—a thriller that stands out in a crowded field.' A masterful weaving of past and present, actor Tim DeKay 'Oppenheimer' described it as 'a powerful and thought-provoking exploration of the prisons we build for ourselves, both within and without.' Katey Sagal 'Sons of Anarchy, Married with Children.' praised the novel's immersive storytelling, saying, 'The imagery is vivid and other-worldly, and the storytelling makes it impossible to put down. The characters are unique and compelling, making the whole ride fun.' Walker's ability to create cinematic storytelling is a standout feature of 'The Light Runner.' Robert Davi (Profiler, Die Hard) emphasizes her deep understanding of character and narrative, declaring, 'Ally Walker has planted her flag in the crime genre… vivid storytelling, pacing, and character development—true cinematic storytelling.' Beyond the unraveling mystery, 'The Light Runner' bridges psychological suspense with metaphysical intrigue. Christine Lahti (Chicago Hope) calls it 'a fantastical page-turner… a thriller that bridges two worlds and begs the question—how will you fight to keep your humanity?' Walker crafts a thriller that grips, unsettles, and refuses to let go. 'The Light Runner' releases June 6, 2025.
