Sean Kingston Sentenced to Prison After Asking for House Arrest in Fraud Case
Sean Kingston has been sentenced following his conviction earlier this year on fraud charges. Friday, the 'Beautiful Girls' singer was given 3.5 years in prison, per NBC. Previously, Kingston's mother, Janice Turner, was sentenced to five years. Turner, like her son, was found guilty by a federal jury of wire fraud and conspiracy to commit wire fraud in April. At the time, both Kingston and Turner were facing up to 20 years on each count. Prosecutors say that over the course of roughly a year, starting in April 2023, Kingston, born Kisean Anderson, amassed more than $1 million of products from various luxury vendors through the use of fake wire receipts. In the days leading up to Kingston's arrest, however, his legal team argued 'most of the victims were paid back,' a fact they say supported their push for a home confinement-focused sentence. As detailed in court docs viewed by Complex, Kingston's lawyers pointed to multiple past cases to underscore their arguments, noting that not only could determent from future offenses be accomplished 'by a reasonable term of home detention,' but that house arrest could serve as a 'substantial punishment' for their client's crimes on its own.

Further bolstering the lawyers' argument were several letters to the judge, including from Kingston's sister and a person experiencing homelessness who said the singer had provided food and clothing. For now, Kingston has not publicly addressed these developments on social media or elsewhere. The Yung Q-featuring 'Good Go Bad,' the latest release, arrived on streaming services back in July.

‘Ketamine Queen' accused of selling fatal dose to Matthew Perry agrees to plead guilty
A federal indictment charged Sangha with one count of conspiracy to distribute ketamine, one count of maintaining a drug-involved premises, one count of possession with intent to distribute methamphetamine, one count of possession with intent to distribute ketamine and five counts of distribution of ketamine. Get Starting Point A guide through the most important stories of the morning, delivered Monday through Friday. Enter Email Sign Up Sangha will officially change her plea to guilty at an upcoming hearing, where sentencing will be scheduled, prosecutors said. She could get up to 45 years in prison. An email sent to Sangha's lawyers seeking comment was not immediately answered. Advertisement She and Dr. Salvador Plasencia, who signed his own plea deal June 16, had been the primary targets of the investigation. Three other defendants — Dr. Mark Chavez, Kenneth Iwamasa and Erik Fleming — agreed to plead guilty last year in exchange for their cooperation, which included statements implicating Sangha and Plasencia. Perry was found dead in his Los Angeles home by Iwamasa, his assistant, on Oct. 28, 2023. The medical examiner ruled that ketamine, typically used as a surgical anesthetic, was the primary cause of death. Advertisement The actor had been using the drug through his regular doctor as a legal, but off-label, treatment for depression, which has become increasingly common. Perry, 54, sought more ketamine than his doctor would give him. He began getting it from Plasencia about a month before his death, then started getting still more from Sangha about two weeks before his death, prosecutors said. Perry and Iwamasa found Sangha through Perry's friend Fleming. In their plea agreements, both men described the subsequent deals in detail. Fleming messaged Iwamasa saying Sangha's ketamine was 'unmarked but it's amazing,' according to court documents. Fleming texted Iwamasa that she only deals 'with high end and celebs. If it were not great stuff she'd lose her business.' With the two men acting as middlemen, Perry bought large amounts of ketamine from Sangha, including 25 vials for $6,000 in cash four days before his death. That purchase included the doses that killed Perry, prosecutors said. On the day of Perry's death, Sangha told Fleming they should delete all the messages they had sent each other, according to her indictment. Her home in North Hollywood, California, was raided in March 2024 by Drug Enforcement Administration agents who found large amounts of methamphetamines and ketamine, according to an affidavit from an agent. She was indicted that June, arrested that August and has been held in jail since. None of the defendants has yet been sentenced. Perry struggled with addiction for years, dating back to his time on 'Friends,' when he became one of the biggest stars of his generation as Chandler Bing. He starred alongside Jennifer Aniston, Courteney Cox, Lisa Kudrow, Matt LeBlanc and David Schwimmer for 10 seasons from 1994 to 2004 on NBC's megahit series. Advertisement

Let the Games Begin: Michael Bublé Gears Up For Upcoming Season 28 of ‘The Voice' By Showing Off His Reba McEntire Socks
What would The Voice be without the incessant friendly trash-talking and mind games among the coaches? Two months before the two-hour season 28 premiere on Sept. 22, the gang were back on set for a preview of the upcoming go-round in a one-minute video that dropped on Monday (July 28). 'We're so excited!' Reba McEntire sang as she moseyed her way to set in the clip while last season's winner, Michael Bublé, complimented her baby blue outfit and whispered 'it's so good to be back. I'm so happy to be here with you' into a boom mike. The energy was palpable as the coaches hugged staffers, and each other, with McEntire gushing, 'got the band back!,' and announcing that 'now the party can start' when Snoop Dogg brought her in for a warm squeeze.

Before they hear a note, though, Bublé got in some light teasing on McEntire, pulling up his pant leg to reveal what he described as 'the finest socks ever. Look at how beautiful they're smiling at me,' he said while showing off the stockings printed with McEntire's face. ''Hey Mike, I'm gonna beat you,'' he added in his approximation of the country superstar's Southern accent. 'She'll eat you alive!' Horan promised of the claws-bearing McEntire, who bragged that she gets to 'tell them what to do, like a big sister.' The clip ends with Bublé realizing his 'dream come true,' with the Canadian crooner pulling out his hockey stick on the set and volleying around with a tennis ball. New episodes of The Voice will air on Monday and Tuesday nights at 8 p.m. ET on NBC and stream the next day on Peacock. Watch The Voice season 28 preview clip below.
