Borderlands 4 Collector's Edition doesn't include the game
The Echo-4 bundle offers buyers in-game cosmetics, art prints, a vault symbol necklace, a map of Karos, an Echo-4 figurine with LED lights, and some in-game codes. However, fans were quick to notice that the $149.99 bundle doesn't include the game in question, which will force them to purchase Borderlands 4 for an extra $69.99.
Disappointed fans flooded Wario64's comment section on X (formerly known as Twitter) to express their frustration. A user wrote, "This is actually really good news. Now we know for sure how this company feels about its fans."
Weow $150 for a collector's edition with no game! — // Lumi 🌓 (@lumiscera) June 16, 2025
Borderlands 4 has been under constant controversy ahead of its 2025 release date due to Gearbox CEO Randy Pitchford's recent response to fans who criticized the game's previous $79.99 price tag.
Pitchford turned heads when he was accused of "gaslighting" Borderlands fans when he responded to an X post regarding the game's previous price tag.
Responded to an unhappy fan who showcased frustration about the game's price tag on X (formerly known as Twitter) and wrote:
"A) Not my call. B) If you're a real fan, you'll find a way to make it happen. My local game store had Starflight for Sega Genesis for $80 in 1991 when I was just out of high school working minimum wage at an ice cream parlor in Pismo Beach and I found a way to make it happen."
On the contrary, another X user slammed Ptichford and wrote in response, "Dawg we are NOT paying $80 for a Borderlands game fully knowing you'll do multiple season passes that cost another $100 and you'll probably sell weapon skins too."

"Ketamine Queen" Jasveen Sangha plead guilty in Matthew Perry death case
LABAWABA - A woman who was known as the "Ketamine Queen" has decided to admit that she sold the drugs that killed Friends actor Matthew Perry. The Justice Department says that 42-year-old Jasveen Sangha will plead guilty to five charges in Los Angeles. One of the charges is selling ketamine that caused death or serious harm. The person with dual citizenship initially faced nine criminal charges. Federal agents raided her Los Angeles home, describing it as a "drug-selling emporium" and discovering dozens of bottles of ketamine. LOS ANGELES, CA - SEPTEMBER 23: Actor Matthew Perry (Photo by KEVIN WINTER/ Getty Images via AFP) Matthew Perry was found dead in the backyard pool of his Los Angeles home in October 2023. An autopsy revealed that ketamine had killed him quickly. Five people, including doctors and the actor's helper, are accused by US officials of giving Perry ketamine, taking advantage of his drug addiction to make money, and causing him to die of an overdose. They are Dr. Salvador Plasencia and Dr. Mark Chavez, two doctors who sold ketamine; Kenneth Iwamasa, who lived with Perry and helped buy and shoot ketamine into the actor; and Eric Fleming, who sold ketamine to Perry that he had gotten from Sangha. Jasveen Sangha Social Media Since then, all five have decided to plead guilty to the charges in the case. Sangha's criminal hearing had been pushed back several times, but it was now set to start next month. As part of the deal with federal authorities, she will have to go to federal court in the following weeks to officially enter her guilty plea. Her attorney, Mark Geragos, told the BBC in a statement that "she's taking responsibility for her actions." She is going to say she is guilty of one count of keeping a drug-related business open, three counts of selling ketamine, and one count of selling a controlled substance that caused death or major bodily injury. Jasveen Sangha Social Media According to the Justice Department, Sangha could spend up to 65 years in a federal jail. The US Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) says that ketamine is a dissociative anesthetic that can cause hallucinations. It can change how people see and hear things, and it can make them feel disconnected and out of control. It makes people and animals sleepy by separating them from their pain and surroundings. Investigators say that a doctor should administer the substance and that those who take it should be monitored by a professional. People are investigating how Matthew Perry obtained a large quantity of ketamine over several years and the circumstances surrounding his death. This has given us a look into Hollywood's ketamine drug network, which one doctor called the "wild west" in an interview with the BBC. As part of her plea deal, Sangha also admitted that she sold ketamine to a man named Cody McLaury in August 2019. The man died of a drug accident hours after buying the drug, according to the Justice Department. In an indictment, federal officials said that Sangha had been selling ketamine from her "stash house" in North Hollywood since at least 2019. They said that she had worked with celebrities and other high-profile clients. Before her arrest in March 2024, a search revealed thousands of pills, including methamphetamine, cocaine, and Xanax. They also found more than 80 bottles of ketamine there. Also Read Oscar-Nominated English actor Terence Stamp dies at 87 The house, which was called the "Sangha Stash House" in a federal complaint, is where she is said to have hidden and sold drugs. Someone who knows Sangha well told the Daily Mail that she went to the Golden Globes and the Oscars and hung out with famous people. Her social media accounts showed that she had a fancy life, with trips to Japan and Mexico and parties.

Taylor Swift breaks record previously held by Donald Trump
ALBAWABA - Taylor Swift broke President Trump's record for the most podcast listens in the hour after an episode came out. Swift was on the show "New Heights" on Wednesday. It was hosted by her boyfriend Travis Kelce and his brother Jason Kelce. It was live at 7 p.m., and the tight end for the Kansas City Chiefs and former Eagles player talked to Swift for more than two hours. The Daily Beast and Swift's representatives both said that 1.3 million people watched the show live on YouTube in the first hour after it came out. This is important because Trump used to have the most listens during the first hour of a podcast. A CNN expert named Harry Enten said that 800,000 people watched the first hour of his appearance on an episode of "The Joe Rogan Experience" in October 2024. So many people watched Swift's "New Heights" episode at once that YouTube crashed around the 1 hour and 44 minute mark. "For this video to have 1.3 million views is the height of numerology," Jason wrote on X just before the video dropped. I mean this video being 1.3 million views is the epitome of numerology — Jason Kelce (@JasonKelce) August 14, 2025 In this episode that broke all kinds of records, Swift showed off the cover and track list for her new album, "The Life of a Showgirl." She also talked about getting back control of her masters and her relationship with Travis. Three months ago, Trump said on Truth Social that Swift was losing fame because of him. Now, Swift has more podcast views than Trump in the first hour. 'Has anyone noticed that, since I said 'I HATE TAYLOR SWIFT,' she's no longer 'HOT'?' he posted in May. In September 2024, after Swift backed Kamala Harris for president, Trump made it clear on social media that he didn't like Swift. Since then, he has continued to make jokes about the pop star without planning to. For example, he talked about her in a speech in April when the Eagles went to the White House to celebrate winning Super Bowl LIX. Swift has never said anything in public about what Trump said about her.

Andrew Tate sues ex-girlfriend Bri Stern for $50 million over assault claims
ALBAWABA - Andrew Tate sues ex Bri Stern over alleged false assault claims. Andrew Tate is now in a new court case with Bree Stern, his ex-girlfriend, because Stern filed a countersuit for more than $50 million in damages. Tate says Stern is slandering him by making what he calls false claims of violence and sexual attack. In March of last year, Bri told cops in Beverly Hills that Andrew Tate had attacked her while they were dating, which led to the fight. Later, she brought a lawsuit with the help of her lawyer, Tony Buzbee. Tate has strongly rejected all of the claims. His words were backed up by medical proof and expert analysis that the injuries Bri said he caused were more likely to be caused by cosmetic surgery than by an attack. He also said that Bree was behind a planned smear effort to hurt his reputation so that she could get more money and attention. Tate's countersuit says Bri used his name and public image to promote her adult material and cryptocurrency businesses. He also says that she had made similar claims in the past, including one about trying to blackmail another guy in 2022. The Beverly Hills prosecution office did not charge Andrew Tate with a crime due to "insufficient evidence." Tate, however, says that Bri kept making the same accusations in public even after the case was dropped. Andrew Tate is suing Bri for defamation, causing mental distress, invasion of privacy, and abusing the legal process. Tate's lawyers say that Bree's actions forced him to file the countersuit. The case is likely to get a lot of attention because Tate has a controversial public image and a history of high-profile legal battles. Both sides are still adamant about their views, which means that there will be a heated court case in the coming months.
