Madonna, Leonardo DiCaprio name-dropped during Diddy's federal trial in explosive testimony
Explosive testimony in Sean "Diddy" Combs' trial featured a few A-list names during the fourth week. Madonna, Leonardo DiCaprio and Beyoncé are a few of the celebrities who came up as the prosecution witnesses continued to take the stand and testify against the rapper in his sex trafficking and racketeering case. Diddy's trial began May 12 with opening statements. Throughout the fourth week of testimony, the jury heard from the disgraced music mogul's ex-assistant "Mia," former Bad Boy Entertainment CFO Derek Ferguson, Cassie's friend Bryana Bongolan and Diddy's ex-girlfriend "Jane." Here's a look at the celebrities mentioned in court this week. After Diddy's assistant, who testified under the pseudonym Mia, was let go in March 2017, she was hired by pop star Madonna. The rapper's defense team had questioned Mia aboutwhether she'd worked in the "same industry" as before after being fired. When asked what the ex-assistant did for Madonna, Mia replied, "A myriad of things." "I was hired to help lead her film division," Diddy's former employee claimed on the stand. "She also needed help restructuring her internal executive team, then it morphed into multiple roles." Diddy's ex-assistant Mia mentioned both Leonardo DiCaprio and Mick Jagger in a text to her former boss that was read in court Monday. During her cross-examination, the disgraced music mogul's defense zeroed in on text messages Mia sent after she experienced alleged physical and sexual abuse by Combs. The former ex-assistant admitted the text messages she sent to Diddy after being terminated from her job were all positive. "Love you, too. And the only things to remember are the good times, and those are the only memories I have!! Ha ha ha, like f------ hysterical ones! I'll send you everything I've got! I remember even before you had videographers with us, I carried around the little iVid thing. I found those, too. Completely forgot about them. "So many magical hilarious things, like drinking 1942 on the Parrot Cay Beach and champagne under the Eiffel Tower at 4:00 a.m. in the dark; and singing with Jimmy at Interscope; and Mick Jagger trying to take me home, but I ran away; and Ibiza caves, where I got a seven-inch scar; and Hawaii 5.0, when you punched that d--- f--- for talking s--- to me; and launching Revolt; and that random underground Baccarat game where Jlolo wouldn't pay out and I stayed only, and you won 650 grand, and that little prick ran away from me, and Leo [DiCaprio] grabbed my pink bedazzled BlackBerry, and you said that Titanic mother f----- doesn't know s---. He won 10K, I won 650K. Ha ha ha. Gosh, there are trillions of stories that are amazing." Rihanna and Beyoncé were mentioned during Bryana Bongolan's testimony Wednesday. Cassie Ventura's friend claimed the two had been working on a clothing line with Diamond Supply Company. According to Bongolan, the two got out a few collections during a two-year period. However, the clothing lines didn't work out due to "internal" reasons at Diamond Supply Company. Cassie's friend agreed with Diddy's defense lawyer that the clothing lines didn't work out because the two were competing with Rihanna and Beyoncé. Film producer Judd Apatow was mentioned during testimony in Diddy's trial while the defense was showing text messages from the rapper's ex-assistant. The defense noted Mia sent the texts after the "Last Night" rapper had been violent with her for years. Mia left her job working for Diddy in 2017. On March 8, 2019, five months after the death of Diddy's longtime partner, Kim Porter, Mia reached out. "Just sending you all the love in the world," she wrote, adding a heart emoji. "Speaking of, you should watch Love on Netflix. Judd Apatow created it," she added in a separate text that same day. "It's superbad-esque funny." In another text message Diddy's ex-assistant sent to the rapper after he allegedly abused her, Mia mentioned actor Chadwick Boseman. "Thinking of you since I heard about Chad Boseman and our sick James Brown auditions," she wrote to Combs in 2020, years after she stopped working for him. The "Black Panther" star died from colon cancer at the age of 43. "Chad Boseman passed away, and we had done this – I don't know how to explain it," Mia further explained during her testimony. "He was auditioning for this role for the James Brown movie that Chad Boseman got, and, essentially, he put on his own production that was – or we put on his own production for, like, a week, and it was really intense. Yeah, that's it." Diddy then asked Mia if she had a copy of the James Brown audition tape.

Miley Cyrus boasts of having a more impressive squad than Taylor Swift
Miley Cyrus has insisted she has a more impressive 'squad' than pop contemporary Taylor Swift. The 32-year-old claims she called up her most famous friends to convince them to star in a music video with her in 2013 - only for her record label to cancel the plan. Cyrus insists the video would prove she has more impressive contacts than fellow singer Swift, 35, who pulled together a lineup of A-List friends for her Bad Blood music video in 2015. The Flowers singer told the Every Single Album podcast, "I had everyone already lined up. Nelly ... Madonna was down to do the video, Miranda Cosgrove." She went on, "This was before Taylor had a lot of famous people in her crew. I was friends with famous people first. I wanted to do that. I had a f-king squad, and my squad was very, very cool." The music video in question would have been for a track called 4x4 from her 2013 album Bangerz - which was never actually released as a single. Cyrus claims, "Madonna was down to mud wrestle with Miranda Kerr. I was like, 'I'm gonna get all these girls, all these supermodels, all these Victoria's Secret models and all of these pop icons to come to my dad's farm, get in the back of 4x4s, and we're gonna mud wrestle, and we're gonna go out and do doughnuts." Swift called on friends including Selena Gomez, Zendaya, Karlie Kloss, Cindy Crawford and more for her own chart-topping single - famously penned following her alleged fall-out with Katy Perry.

Miley Cyrus Says Madonna ‘Was Down' to Mud Wrestle in a ‘4×4' Music Video, But Her Label Said No
In an alternate universe, Miley Cyrus' iconic Bangerz era would've been made complete with a wild music video starring Madonna, Nelly and more superstars popping wheelies and wrestling in the mud. Unfortunately, we do not live in that universe. In an interview on the Every Single Album podcast posted Thursday (June 5), the 'Flowers' singer revealed that she had been dead set on rounding up a star-studded group of friends to shoot a raucous visual for '4×4,' a song on her smash-hit 2013 album that ultimately never became a single. 'I had everyone already lined up,' Cyrus said. 'Nelly … Madonna was down to do the video, Miranda Cosgrove.'

'I was friends with famous people first. I wanted to do that. I had a f–king squad, and my squad was very, very cool.' Cyrus claimed the idea was eventually shut down by RCA, her label at the time, whom she quipped didn't want her 'talking about a pit bull [and] piss' in a song they'd be promoting. 'Madonna was down to mud wrestle with Miranda Kerr,' the Grammy winner reminisced wistfully. 'I was like, 'I'm gonna get all these girls, all these supermodels, all these Victoria's Secret models and all of these pop icons to come to my dad's farm, get in the back of 4x4s, and we're gonna mud wrestle, and we're gonna go out and do doughnuts.' Despite the lack of a '4×4' visual, Bangerz remains one of Cyrus' most successful albums to date. The LP debuted atop the Billboard 200 and spawned her first-ever No. 1 single on the Billboard Hot 100, 'Wrecking Ball,' which was followed closely by 'We Can't Stop' at No. 2. The 'Party in the U.S.A.' artist was signed to RCA for a three-album run, later dropping Younger Now in 2017 and Plastic Hearts in 2020 under the Sony Music imprint. In 2021, she inked a new deal with Columbia Records, through which she just released new album Something Beautiful on May 30. Later in the podcast episode, Cyrus recalled another time where she and her former label weren't quite on the same page. According to her, she never would've put a certain fellow pop star on 'Prisoner,' one of the singles on Plastic Hearts. 'No shade to Dua Lipa, it just isn't cohesive with the album,' Cyrus said frankly. 'She would've been much better on something like [2023 LP] Endless Summer Vacation,' the singer continued of Dua Lipa. 'She would've been great on 'Wildcard,' she would've been great on any of them — 'River,' can you imagine?' Cyrus added that she thought her team at RCA wasn't entirely confident in how Plastic Hearts would perform, so they brought in some 'medicinal Dua' to give the LP some commercial oomph. 'They basically were like, 'Oh, great, here's this piece of s–t album she gave us, let's spray a little Dua Lipa on there,'' Cyrus said, laughing.
