Tory Lanez Hospitalized After Getting Stabbed In Prison (Reports)
Rapper Tory Lanez was stabbed in prison at California Correctional Institution in Tehachapi on Monday, according to several reports.
According to TMZ and the Los Angeles Times, Lanez, whose real name is Daystar Peterson, was in the yard outside Monday morning when another inmate stabbed him. Per TMZ, he was taken to a local hospital in Bakersfield to treat his injuries, which aren't considered life-threatening, and it's unclear what had provoked the attack.

Reps for Peterson didn't immediately respond to request for comment, nor did representatives for the Kern County Sheriff's Department or the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation.
Peterson is currently serving a 10-year sentence for shooting hip-hop star Megan Thee Stallion. The two got into a heated argument while in a car outside a Hollywood hills party during the summer of 2020. Meg got out of the car, and and as prosecutors said, Lanez yelled 'dance, bitch,' and shot at her feet, wounding her. Peterson was charged in 2020 and convicted in 2022 before he was sentenced in August of 2023.
Peterson released the eponymous Peterson, his first album since his 2022 conviction, back in March. He shared a post on Instagram Friday confirming a new album called Slutty Bass would also release at some point this summer. 'Alone at Prom + Miami Bass + Alvin and the Monk$ + slutty dark rnb vibes = Slutty Bass,' the rapper wrote.
Peterson's trial was one of the most high-profile legal cases in music in years, drawing media attention around the globe as online fans scrutinized the case and Megan Thee Stallion's own claims. Meg has spoken about the online vitriol, telling Women's Health last year that 'people expect me to take the punches, take the beating, take the lashings, and handle it with grace.'
'A lot of people didn't treat me like I was human for a long time,' Stallion said. 'I feel like everybody was always used to me being the fun and happy party girl. I watched people build me up, tear me down, and be confused about their expectations of me.'

Why Mindy Kaling Took A Break From Acting
At this point, Mindy Kaling is an undeniable multihyphenate. From Never Have I Ever and The Sex Lives of College Girls to Velma and Running Point, it honestly feels like we've gotten a show that she's created or written every time we switch on our TVs. Mindy's been so ever-present behind the scenes that it's honestly been easy to forget that we were all introduced to her as an actor — especially in the classic NBC TV show The Office (which, to be clear, she also wrote for). These days, however, Mindy isn't in front of the camera all that often. She's done some voice work on Velma and Monsters at Work, and she's made the occasional appearance on The Morning Show, but that's about it. During a recent public appearance (via The Hollywood Reporter), Mindy addressed her recent absence as an actor — especially when it came to making a cameo on Never Have I Ever, which she ultimately decided not to do. 'A show literally about an Indian American family in Southern California, and if I wasn't on that—what's wrong with me?' she joked. 'I think there is a part of me that feels a little superstitious,' she continued. 'I'm like, these seem to have gone well and I'm not in them so maybe I'll wait.' Mindy also admitted that she does "miss" acting, and that she "would like to write or co-create a show for me to act in soon" — particularly because doing so would be 'unbelievably fun and it's so efficient.' 'I would love to do that again,' she said. 'That's the thing that maybe in the next couple years, when I launch a couple other things that are earlier in the pipeline, that would be something that would be fun to do again.' We'll see what happens!

Street Takeover Participants & Spectators Could Soon Be Hit With Steep Fines
Street takeovers - where crowds block off intersections so drivers can pull stunts like donuts, burnouts, and drifts - have become a hallmark of Southern California's underground car culture. But now, L.A. County is drawing a hard line. A new proposal would double the fine for participating in or even watching a takeover, raising it from $500 to $1,000, the Los Angeles Times reported. The idea isn't just to hit drivers in the wallet; it's also aimed at the crowd. Spectators fuel the vibe, create cover for drivers, and generate social media content that keeps the trend alive. By making it costly just to show up, officials hope to tamp down the spectacle altogether. Takeovers might look like Fast & Furious-style fun, but they've turned increasingly dangerous. County officials point to a rise in fatal crashes, shootings, and torched vehicles tied to these events. In some neighborhoods, families say they hear engines bouncing off rev limiters just blocks from their front doors. Supervisor Holly Mitchell, whose district includes cities like Compton, Inglewood, and Carson, introduced the measure and stated that the issue is personal for many residents. In one recent tragedy, a woman in Pomona was killed during a suspected street-racing crash. Stories like that have become too common. The proposed ordinance doesn't stop with street-level enforcement. It also calls on social media platforms to enforce their own community standards and remove content that promotes illegal activity, specifically, takeover clips that rack up views and ad dollars. Officials want platforms to demonetize those videos and cut off the oxygen that keeps the culture going viral. Interestingly, while street takeover reports have dropped in most of L.A. County, Mitchell's district saw a sharp rise - from 191 incidents between July and September to 297 from October through December. County officials credit some of the decline elsewhere to a coordinated task force that includes law enforcement, city leaders, and community groups working to intervene early and redesign problem intersections. Mitchell's district is still playing catch-up, and that's part of why she's pushing hard for tougher penalties. If you're a car enthusiast, the rise in takeovers and the resulting crackdown might hit close to home, even if you're not in Southern California. Similar events have popped up across the country, and cities are watching each other to figure out what works. San Jose, Atlanta, Chicago, and Houston are all places that have seen sideshows spark community backlash and new legislation. The L.A. County Board of Supervisors gave the proposed fine increase a thumbs-up this week, but it still needs one more vote to become law. If approved, the new penalties could go into effect later this year. There's also talk of broader reforms - everything from hardened centerlines at takeover hotspots to possibly creating safe, legal alternatives for car enthusiasts. For now, though, the message is clear: if you're planning to show up at a sideshow in L.A., even just to watch, you might want to think twice. Your next post could come with a $1,000 price tag.
