Diddy's Ex-Girlfriend Asks The Judge To Release Him Ahead Of Sentencing
An ex-girlfriend of Sean 'Diddy' Combs is urging the judge to release the music mogul on bail while he awaits his October sentencing. Virginia Huynh, who identified herself as Victim 3 in the federal government's indictment against Combs, wrote in a letter submitted to the judge this weekend that she has known the artist for many years in both a personal and professional capacity. She wrote that while their relationship had many ups and downs, Combs always tried to become a better person. 'By the time our relationship ended, he embodied an energy of love, patience and gentleness that was markedly different from his past behavior,' she wrote. 'To my knowledge, he has not been violent for many years, and he has been committed to being a father first.' Combs was acquitted last month of racketeering conspiracy and sex trafficking charges, but he was found guilty of two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution. Last week, Combs' attorneys filed a motion asking the judge to release him on $50 million bond before his October sentencing hearing. Combs has been in Brooklyn's Metropolitan Detention Center since his September arrest and has been denied release multiple times. Huynh's letter asks the judge to consider letting Combs out on bond until October. She wrote that she does not view Combs as a danger to her or the community, and said he should be released because he has children who depend on him for financial and emotional support. 'I want to assure the Court that if released, I believe Mr. Combs will adhere to all conditions imposed and will not jeopardize his freedom or the well-being of his family,' Huynh wrote. In the indictment against Combs, prosecutors said Combs used his 'power and prestige' to intimidate and threaten women, often while he was in a romantic relationship with them. 'On multiple occasions, Combs threw both objects and people, as well as hit, dragged, choked and shoved others,' the indictment read. 'On one occasion, Combs dangled a victim over an apartment balcony.' Huynh did not testify in the trial against Combs. Combs' ex-girlfriend Cassie Ventura did, however, telling the court that Combs forced her to participate in sex marathons known as 'freak-offs.' Related...

‘KPop Demon Hunters' Makes Chart History As ‘Golden' Hits No. 1
Hunter/X's 'Golden' has been gaining momentum since its debut several weeks ago, and this time around, the fictional girl group – created for Netflix's hugely-popular movie KPop Demon Hunters – reaches a new historic high on one of Billboard's most competitive charts. As the beloved cut ascends, it helps the made-up band manage a feat that's never been seen in America. 'Golden' Becomes Hunter/X's First No. 1 'Golden' rises from No. 2 to No. 1 on the Streaming Songs chart this time around. As it climbs, Hunter/X manages a historic feat, as no girl group — real or fictional — has previously reached the summit on the list of the most-streamed tracks in the country. Hunter/X Joins a Small List of K-Pop Leaders 'Golden' is the group's second top 10 on the Streaming Songs tally. Recently, as 'Golden' began to surge, 'How It's Done' peaked at No. 6. Among K-pop outfits, Hunter/X joins an elite roster with a top 10 streaming smash. Blackpink has sent three tracks into the top 10, while Fifty Fifty has also reached the region. Looking at all K-pop artists, Hunter/X is only the second to rule the Streaming Songs list, following Psy. He sent both 'Gentleman' and 'Gangnam Style' to No. 1 more than a decade ago. Hunter/X Also Rules Several Global Rankings The success of 'Golden' isn't limited to streaming, or to the U.S. The cut rises from No. 4 to No. 2 on the Hot 100, a new personal best for the group on the most competitive songs list. It also rebounds to No. 1 on both the Billboard Global 200 and the Billboard Global Excl. U.S., reclaiming the throne on each for a second stint and reigning as the biggest smash in the world. Hunter/X Scores a Rare Radio Hit Hunter/X is so popular that its success extends beyond streaming platforms and digital download storefronts. 'Golden' debuts at No. 35 on the Pop Airplay chart this week, marking the group's first appearance on a radio-focused Billboard tally. The showing suggests that the tune is beginning to connect with a broader U.S. audience outside of its core fan base, and that it's receiving some serious promotion.

Home Depot's Halloween Skeleton Decorations Now Feature Electronically Enhanced Terrors
Home Depot has given its giant skeleton-led collection of Halloween decorations quite an upgrade for 2025, with more animatronic capabilities that are even more perfectly suited to terrify your neighborhood all year long.

Grave & Bones Animated Ultra Skelly with 'Life Eyes,' which can blink, move, and be changed to fit various expressions and holiday themes—such as heart eyes for Valentine's Day. With an LED app, you can control not just the eyes and lights on Skelly but also switch up the spooky phrases it says between preset ones and voice recordings of your own that can be put through various voice filters. Plus, you can traumatize the neighborhood kids by speaking directly out of it from the app whenever you'd like it to greet anyone at your door.
