Cassie gives birth two weeks after testifying against ex Sean 'Diddy' Combs
Cassie Ventura has welcomed her third child with husband Alex Fine just weeks after testifying at Sean 'Diddy' Combs' high profile trail. The singer already shares two daughters - Frankie, five and Sunny, Four - with Alex, and the couple announced they were expecting a son on social media this Febrary.
The news has now emerged that Cassie has now welcomed her third child. According to sources close to the star, she gave birth on Tuesday at a hospital in New York City. Despite the baby arriving a bit earlier than expected, both mother and child are said to be doing well, TMZ reports.
The Long Way 2 Go singer shared professional back-and-white snaps of her posing with her family as she showed off her baby bump. In one picture, her two young daughters kissed her bump while another showed Alex cradling her belly with his hands.
She kept the caption simple, using just a pregnant woman emoji and the hashtag "#3". At the time, celebrities like Karrueche Tran, Lauren London, Vanderpump Rules star Kristen Doute, and Ciara expressed their excitement in the comments, the Mirror reports.
On May 27, it was revealed that Cassie was rushed to a hospital in New York after going into labour. A source told TMZ that Cassie was in labour and in the delivery room, having been approximately eight months pregnant when she gave her testimony during the trail.
Cassie's ex-partner, Diddy, is currently facing multiple serious charges, including racketeering, conspiracy, sex trafficking through force, fraud or coercion and transportation for the purpose of prostitution. He has denied all the allegations against him.
Earlier this month, Cassie - who was pregnant with her third child at the time - took to the stands and made some explosive claims about the disgraced rapper.
Following her testimony, Cassie's lawyer, Doug Wigdor, issued a statement on her behalf.
The singers statement read: "This week has been extremely challenging, but also remarkably empowering and healing for me.
"For me, the more I heal, the more I can remember. And the more I can remember, the more I will never forget. I want to thank my family and my advocates for their unwavering support, and I'm grateful for all the kindness and encouragement that I have received.
"I'm glad to put this chapter of my life to rest. As I turn to focus on the conclusion of my pregnancy, I ask for privacy for me and for my growing family."
Cassie and Diddy were first romantically linked in 2007 and broke up in 2018. She met the disgraced rapper when she was just 19-years-old and starting off in the music industry, she was an aspiring singer and Diddy signed her to a 10-year contract with his Bad Boy Records label.
She filed a lawsuit against him in November 2023, accusing him of sexual assault and physical abuse.

Netflix comedy from Dexter's Laboratory creator slammed as 'incredibly disgusting' by viewers
Viewers have reported switching it off just minutes in Netflix viewers have been switching off a brand new comedy film on the platform within minutes, branding it "insufferable" and "incredibly disgusting." Launched on the streaming service today (August 13), Fixed centres on a dog called Bull (voiced by Adam Devine) who learns he's about to be castrated and embarks on one final adventure with his mates. He also plans to woo the pedigree pooch he fancies next door, Honey (Kathryn Hahn), before going under the knife. The animated comedy was crafted by Genndy Tartakovsky, a five-time Emmy Award-winning filmmaker behind Dexter's Laboratory and Samurai Jack, reports the Mirror. Netflix's synopsis states: " From visionary director Genndy Tartakovsky comes Fixed, an adult animated comedy about Bull, an average, all-around good dog who discovers he's going to be neutered in the morning! "As the gravity of this life-altering event sets in, Bull realizes he needs one last adventure with his pack of best friends as these are the last 24 hours with his balls! What could go wrong...?" The stellar cast also features Idris Elba as Rocco, Fred Armisen as Fetch and Bobby Moynihan as Lucky. Yet despite the celebrity talent involved, it has struggled to win over audiences from the get-go. "Fixed genuinely is insufferable and I'm only like five minutes in," one viewer began, adding: "I genuinely hate this. This is just corny sex jokes. I don't wanna see an animated dog's b******* flap while he's humping a grandma's leg." Another viewer abandoned the show after just the trailer, commenting: "It seemed incredibly disgusting (like worse than Big Mouth) just from the three second clip I watched while hovering over the title. Will absolutely not be investigating further," whilst a third disappointed Netflix subscriber added: "I still wanna know HOW were the voice actors talked into doing this." Not every viewer reacted so strongly to the film though. Defending the production, one supporter commented: "Just watched it. It's passable, wasn't as bad as the trailers made me think it would be but it's not a masterpiece by any means, great animation though." Speaking to Netflix's Tudum, Tartakovsky revealed how the cast was assembled: "Some of the material is a bit raunchy so we had to find people that were receptive to our sense of humor, and boy, did we. "I remember a moment where Kathryn Hahn read the script and called us - she wanted her character to be as raunchy as the other guys. It was a great note. We then rewrote her character to be reflective of that idea and she absolutely killed it."

Putin 'same as Hitler' says war crimes detective who pieces together body parts
Colonel Serhii Bolvinov doesn't let being on a Russian hit-list stop him from investigating the horrors of Russian atrocities committed by President Vladimir Putin's brutal invasion army One of Ukraine's most senior war crimes investigators has described the horror of probing tens of thousands of Russian war atrocities. Veteran police officer Colonel Serhii Bolvinov landed 448 crimes in the immediate aftermath of the Kremlin invasion - a task that has now swollen to 22,000 atrocities. And his grim job has put him high up on Russia 's hit list. US President Donald Trump will tomorrow hold his peace summit with Russian leader Vladimir Putin, who is an International Criminal Court war crimes suspect. And there has been no mention of the tens of thousands of war crimes allegedly committed by Russian troops during the war. As the world awaits the result of Friday's Alaska meeting International law firm Global Right Compliance, has warned any peace deal must not side-step the quest for justice for Ukrainian victims.. And Col Bolvinov, 43, is on the frontline of that quest. Col Bolvinov tells how he and his officers arrived at a forest outside the city of Izium, which is close to the Russian border. It comes after Putin warns of nuclear war after unleashing another night of hell on Ukraine Soon after Vladimir Putin's tanks and troops poured into Ukraine on February 24 2022 they threw themselves into an orgy of violence and depravity. In the weeks after the invasion the Mirror witnessed the aftermath of these crimes in areas such as Buch, north west of Kyiv, where corpses were dug up in huge mass graves. Civilians had been forced at gunpoint to bury their neighbours in these grim pits as the Russians did not want to be reminded of their crimes. It was the same wherever Russian troops appeared after the invasion and Col Bolvinov's team spent months exhuming decomposing civilian bodies after Putin's cowardly troops fled a ferocious Ukrainian counter-offensive. More than two years later Colonel Bolvinov, who commands the Kharkiv police investigations department, recalls: 'The smell was terrible from the very first minutes of the exhumation. Most of the bodies were badly decomposed because they were just thrown into the ground. As police investigators, we have seen many things. But this was terrifying because we were confronted with hundreds of bodies that had to be exhumed and accounted for. 'But all those war crimes must be accounted for - however long it takes.' In 2021 Bolvinov was appointed as head of police investigations for Kharkiv, which borders Russia, population 2.6m and the size of the Netherlands. On February 23, 2022, Bolvinov finished work in Kharkiv city at midnight and went to his rural home where he lived with his wife and three children. He said: 'My wife waited up for me and we talked about possible invasion and what we should do. She had prepared the car, but we did not think there would be an invasion. 'At about 4.30am, my wife heard these explosions, and she hit me so hard that I fell out of the bed. In 20 minutes, we had fully packed the car, we hugged goodbye and at that point we did not know if we would ever see each other again. It was horrible.' Bolvinov put his uniform on and headed into work in Kharkiv city, just 25 miles from the Russian border. His family, who he cannot name for safety reasons, have remained abroad ever since. He said: 'At 6pm I was at my post, ready to show my colleagues we needed to protect the city. 'I started to do typical police work. I slept on the floor in the office but by the 27th the Russians were just 500 metres away. We developed a rule of two walls. If a rocket or bomb is coming your way you need to be behind two walls. But I was beginning to get videos on Telegram from civilians and colleagues. 'We started to collect these videos from across the Kharkiv region and share them with the Ukrainian military, but we also had to control the situation because there were also looters and ordinary criminals.' Bolvinov and his 1000-strong team began to create a map of the region in order to track the shifting frontline. Three days later it came to their front door. He said: 'On February 27th the Russians infiltrated Kharkiv city. They were 500 metres from my office and I was at the office at the time. As a police officer you have to stay in your position. It doesn't matter who the criminal is, whether it is a civilian or Russian military. We started to collect evidence about war crimes.' Bolvinov and his team adapted quickly to survive. He said: 'As police officers we had never seen this before and didn't even know what war crimes were. But we started to collect evidence because there were a lot of dead people, a lot of wounded people, injured people, because Russia used cluster bombs, ballistic missiles, high explosive bombs dropped from the air. 'We started to learn about international law, how to gather evidence to the same standard, understand the weapons used. There were so many dead bodies in the streets.' Within months mobile DNA vans arrived, meaning it took hours instead of months or even years to identify victims. As civilian police they focus on civilians and civilian property when it comes to war crimes. These cover murder, torture, rape, and wounding, as well as destruction of property. Among them so far are 2854 civilians killed, including 96 children. The Russians have targeted Bolvinov and his colleagues, with their buildings hit by bombs and missiles and they have to dodge from building to building. In 2023 Bolvinov narrowly dodged being killed. He said: 'One day I was 200 metres away from a Russian rocket explosion. I was in a car driving through Kharkiv and there were no air defence systems at that time. They hit a building very close to me, the noise was deafening and very scary.' The Russians have him on their hit list, publishing his personal details, including his phone number. In October 2023, Bolvinov went to a village called Hroza after a Russian strike on a cafe. He said: 'Collaborators had sent information that a café was a Ukrainian military location and Russia used ballistic missiles. Because it was such a large missile, we could visually identify only 20 people. There were 59 civilians there, so many in such a small location there were a lot of body parts. 'That was when we started using mobile DNA labs and we spent five days and nights at the scene. It was a human horrible puzzle with parts from a head, an arm. Eventually we pieced together the DNA picture of the victims and pieced together the remains of perhaps a single victim, including a 12-year-old child.' But the scale of the 'cemetery' in Izium continues to haunt Bolvinov. "It required two mobile DNA vans for two months, without days off. We took DNA from the cheeks and lips. It was clear that we are dealing with a big case of Russians murdering civilians. To complicate matters the area had been heavily mined by the Russians.' In one grave marked 319 lay Ukrainian writer Volodymyr Vakulenko, who had been seized by soldiers in March, his fate unknown. Investigators calculated he had been shot twice with a semi-automatic Makarov pistol after being taken away by three men from the so-called Lushansk People's Republic. The case was built using eyewitnesses, who identified their car, and heard their call signs, or military names, their commander, and documents abandoned by the Russians. The trio remain at large but only last month, his team presented their case to the Kharkiv court naming Dmytro Katkalov, 36, as one of three soldier suspects. Bolvinov is emphatic that justice will be served. He said: 'One hundred percent. . We are experienced at collecting the evidence, we have the expertise. We know who the criminals are and we know who the victims are. We do this for the future, for justice and we do this risking our lives.' When asked about whether Russian war criminals will ever be brought to justice Bolvinov says: 'You know, that is not my brief. I investigate war crimes and believe in the truth. You know who Hitler is and I know who Putin is. It is the same. I have visited Croatia and it took more than 30 years to get justice.' Wayne Jordash KC, President of international law firm Global Right Compliance, tells the Mirror: 'While a ceasefire would be a welcome development for Ukraine, any deal that sidesteps justice for victims or ignores documented atrocities risks abandoning the fundamental principles of international law. 'It's vital a deal is followed by steadfast support for Ukraine's Office of the Prosecution, to ensure that Russian forces who have committed horrific crimes, including widespread and systematic torture, including sexual violence, killing, and starvation, and a range of other crimes against humanity, are held to account.'

Bonnie Blue and 'nervous' Ibiza Final Boss meet up as she makes wild confession
Bonnie Blue has flown over to the Spanish party island to meet viral raver Ibiza Final Boss after reaching out to him on Instagram and she has now revealed exactly what the encounter was like. Ibiza Final Boss has met up with controversial adult star Bonnie Blue after she flew out to Ibiza for a surprise visit. Geordie raver Jack Kay, who became an internet sensation overnight thanks to his distinctive haircut, had an awkward exchange with the sex star as he nervously hugged her during the unexpected meet up. Bonnie Blue, who has been booted off OnlyFans for her extreme content, is known to fly out to party hot spots to find men to sleep with and film for her work. Known for her rage-bait tactics, the 26-year-old was quick to jump on the opportunity to meet Jack, also 26, who had just launched his own single bragging:" Your bird listens to the Ibiza Final Boss ". The cringe clip shows Jack with his arm around Bonnie as he turns his head away from her. Another moment shows the duo awkwardly making conversation, standing noticeably far away from each other. Following their painful encounter, Bonnie said in a now-deleted clip: "It was my shortest video yet. I was shocked how nervous he was." The bizarre meet up comes after Bonnie sparked fury from Jack's followers when she sent him a cheeky message over the weekend, following reports that his girlfriend had dumped him over his partying ways, the Mirror reports. Making the most of his viral fame, the Ibiza Final Boss posted a video of him in the Spanish party island with the caption: "The final boss can't be slayed… your misses on the other hand? Her levels been completed". Bonnie was seemingly desperate to also profit off of Jack's viral moment as she replied to his post with a suggestive eyes emoji. Jack's fans flooded the comments warning him to 'stay away' from the star, but it seems he didn't listen. Bonnie's surprise visit comes after reports that Jack's love life is in trouble. His glamorous girlfriend Alisha Cook reportedly dumped him on his first Ibiza trip, just days before he went viral. The Newcastle lad is now said to be fighting to save his relationship with the model and debt collector from Co Durham. Alisha was allegedly so angry with her boyfriend's antics in Ibiza that she broke up with him before videos of his haircut made him go viral. The couple have reportedly worked things out since, but a friend of Jack's warned he was 'skating on thin ice' over his party lifestyle. They told the Daily Mail: "Alisha called it off when Jack went to Ibiza with the lads. They'd been together for almost a year and he was living at her place but things hadn't been right for months. "His car is still on her drive, she threw all his clothes in the back of it. She doesn't want him around anymore. She's had inklings that something was not right for a while. She just wants to wash her hands of him. Alisha is so beautiful. No one is quite sure what she saw in him." Join the Daily Record WhatsApp community!

However, it appears Alisha had a quick change of heart as she's now publicly declared herself as Jack's girlfriend since he rose to internet stardom. In a series of TikTok videos captioned: "POV: ya boyfriend's now known as Ibiza Final Boss," Alisha is seen cosying up to Jack, including clips of him kissing her cheek and the two of them partying together. However, the video has since been made private and Alisha is yet to speak out following the video of Jack and Bonnie.
