Dakota Johnson Is ‘Babysitter' To Orlando Bloom's Dog
Orlando Bloom's pet pooch, Biggie Smalls, is one lucky dog. He not only has one of Hollywood's best actors wrapped around his finger but also has actor Dakota Johnson as his 'babysitter,' although temporarily. Biggie Smalls was recently seen resting in Johnson's arms when Bloom was giving an interview on Today. And before anyone knew, the pup hogged the limelight and upstaged the actor with his little barks and adorable look. Orlando Bloom recently visited TODAY's studio on June 9 to talk about his new movies — Prime Video comedy 'Deep Cover' and drama, 'The Cut' with Savannah Guthrie. And the actor was not alone. He bought his fur baby, Biggie Smalls, on the sets. While talking about the films, their conversation was interrupted when Biggie Smalls started barking off-screen. Soon after, Bloom introduced his teacup poodle to the camera, who was resting in Dakota Johnson's arms on a couch. The actor appeared on the show to talk about her upcoming film, 'Materialists,' alongside co-star Chris Evans. Looking at Biggie Smalls's reaction, Bloom joked that the pup was 'looking for attention.' Even Guthrie chimed in and said that the pooch 'has found a new owner.' The 'Pirates of the Caribbean' star continued saying that his brown pup 'would never bark' and 'keeps quiet as a mouse.' But maybe the pooch is 'having separation anxiety' looking at his 'Dad' on the other side. And looking at Johnson's gesture, Bloom quipped that she is 'stealing the dog.' However, when the actor bought Biggie Smalls over to Bloom, Johnson said, 'I'm just the babysitter. I'm just the nanny.' Bloom eventually revealed that Biggie Smalls is his 'emotional support animal.' The interview then continued with the actor with the pup 'really enjoying his moment' in front of the camera. And when Craig Melvin asked Johnson about what happened with Biggie Smalls behind the camera during their segment, she replied, 'It's just what I do. I'm here for the people.'

I travel so much, but I do love dogs... He's a real emotional support animal, 'cause I'm very emotional right now, sitting here,' he joked.

And you literally feel like you're flying,' he said. 'The last stunt of the show was I flew five miles over the ocean, landing on Pismo Beach,' he said.

Orlando Bloom distracts Tonight Show viewers with 'emotional support' dog amid Katy Perry relationship rumors
Orlando Bloom was upstaged by his tiny dog during an appearance on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon amid rumors that his relationship with Katy Perry is on the rocks. The Pirates of the Caribbean actor, 48, joined Jimmy, 50, for an interview on Tuesday night to discuss his new television show, Deep Cover, which premiered at this year's Tribeca Film Festival. Instead, though, all eyes were on Orlando's teacup poodle named Biggie Smalls – and even he acknowledged how his miniature pooch is setting the internet alight. 'So, my manager calls me and says, 'You know, you're trending.' And I'm like, 'Well, that's great, I'm trending,'' he began. ''Well, not exactly you. It's the dog,'' he recalled his manager telling him. Orlando then shared that Biggie Smalls serves as his 'emotional support animal,' revealing that he goes nearly everywhere with him. 'He's a real emotional support animal because I'm very emotional right now,' he said. Jimmy jokingly agreed and added: 'You really are. Every time I see you.' The duo continued to gush over Biggie Smalls and both agreed that he 'looks fake' and is the 'whisper of a dog.' Viewers couldn't get enough of the tiny dog on social media either, and continued to fawn over him. 'I love Orlando Bloom, but that little dog was 100 percent adorable,' said one. 'I love puppies and I love Orlando Bloom so great combo,' another agreed. A third added: 'Okay this is too much. Mr Bloom and a Puppy. Oxygen, please.' One, however, boldly claimed that Orlando's appearance with Biggie Smalls was a ploy to distract from the relationship rumors. Commenting on YouTube, they said: 'Katy's team: SEND IN THE HUSBAND TO DISTRACT THEM.' Orlando's appearance on the show came as his fiancé Katy was spotted out in Sydney, Australia, with their four-year-old daughter, Daisy. In exclusive pictures obtained by the 40-year-old singer was seen dressed in a bear onesie with round, floppy ears as she visited Luna Park. Despite her kooky attire, she appeared downcast and somber amid the fresh rumors of strain with Orlando. The California Gurls singer — who album 143 was hit with a wave of negative reviews — also wore a black Balenciaga hip back slung across her upper body, and she covered up with a baseball cap and black sunglasses. Daisy complemented her mother's costume with a mini version of the same look, though she covered up with an additional fuzzy brown coat. While Katy looked less-than-enthused to be spending time at the amusement park, Orlando seemed to be having a blast at the Tribeca Festival in New York City and posed on the red carpet with their adorable Biggle Smalls. The couple's sightings on different continents come amid a new report alleging that Katy's poorly performing album caused 'tension' in their relationship. The singer's seventh studio album, 143, was released in September 2024, and received a largely negative response from fans as well as critics, who claimed the record sounds 'generated through AI.' 'Katy was deeply frustrated following the reception of her new album. It made her very stressed,' a source told People on Monday.

From yearbook photo to Epstein bike ride - Diddy nemesis 50 Cent trolls trial with wild AI images
50 Cent has long been vocal about his feelings for his rap nemesis, Diddy, but as the music mogul undergoes a revealing federal trial, 50 has ramped up his distaste for Diddy with a series of wild AI-generated images. Diddy, also known as Sean Combs, has frequently dispelled any rumors of a feud between the legends, but Curtis Jackson, also known as 50 Cent, has been slamming his nemesis publicly for years. The two hip-hop stars rose to fame in the 1990s and ran in the same circles. 50 Cent was credited as a writer on Diddy's 2001 track, Let's Get It. They were pictured together at industry events for years, and even performed together at the Screamfest tour in 2007 alongside Jay-Z, Kanye West, and T.I. The massive collaboration was shocking, not just because the rappers shared the stage, but a year earlier, 50 Cent insinuated Diddy had something to do with rapper Biggie's murder. 50's 2006 diss track, The Bomb, made jaw-dropping accusations against his nemesis, with one lyric proclaiming, 'Who shot Biggie Smalls? We don't get 'em. They gonna kill us all. Man, Puffy know who hit that [expletive]. Man that [expletive] soft.' In the outro of the song, 50 Cent roasted Diddy for his infamous 'White Parties' at his Hamptons home, rapping, 'Oh I guess this means I won't be invited to the white parties in the Hamptons. I don't give a f***.' 50 Cent continued to publicly call Diddy out, speaking frequently about the accusations against him and insinuating about his sexuality on multiple occasions. 50 Cent has been particularly active since Diddy was arrested on charges of racketeering and sex trafficking last September. 50 reveled in Diddy's arrest, posting a photo of himself with Drew Barrymore on her daytime talk show and captioning it, 'Here I am keeping good company with @thedrewbarrymoreshow and I don't have 1,000 bottles of lube at the house.' The caption referenced evidence Homeland Security found when Diddy's Florida home was raided. When jury selection for Diddy's criminal trial started, 50 Cent amped up his posts with several artificial intelligence photos mocking his nemesis. looks at some of 50 Cent's posts as the trial continues. 50 Cent on the jury? On May 8, just a few days after the jury selection for Diddy's trial began, 50 Cent posted an AI-generated image of himself sitting on the jury in six different color suits. Writing over the comedic photo read, 'Sean Diddy Combs jury selection for trial is finally complete'. 50 Cent captioned the post: 'I'm not sure if this is fair [eye emoji] but don't worry, be happy!' His followers quickly rushed to the comment section praising the post, with one writing: 'The level of your pettiness is always top tier and I love it.' 'Give this man the ultimate troll trophy,' another added. 'Ain't even gotta finish the trial with this jury, guilty first day of court,' a third joked. Baby oil pool In a May 13 post, 50 Cent trolled Diddy by posting an AI-generated photo of him in a pool of baby oil. The image was shared on the second day of Diddy's federal trial as his former partner, Cassie Ventura, testified about the rapper's 'freak off' parties. While on the stand, she recounted a disturbing story where Diddy forced her to get into an inflatable pool filled with baby oil while wearing an outfit purchased from a sex shop. Cassie added that she didn't want to get into the pool but was afraid of how Diddy would react if she refused. Homeland Security also discovered baby oil and lubricant in Ziploc bags, five bottles of baby oil in the bathroom's bathtub, two more bottles of lubricant in a drawer, two bags of a pink powdery substance,and a bag with $9,000 in cash. In response to the allegations, 50 Cent poked fun at Diddy's alleged obsession with baby oil by sharing an AI photo of him shirtless in an inflatable pool with a yellow duck. Another image portrayed Diddy smiling as he was surrounded by baby oil while submerged in the pool. Diddy in jail Then again, on May 17, 50 Cent shared an AI video of Diddy walking in jail holding a mystery person's hand. The video also showed Diddy lying in a prison bed, drinking Johnson's Baby Oil. 50 Cent captioned the post, 'LOL [laughing emoji] who made this hahahaha HA.' His followers loved the AI video with one commenting, 'YOU ALWAYS WIN AND I LOVE IT.' 'No matter what you do. Do not be on 50's bad side,' another added. Riding with Epstein On Monday, 50 Cent shared a wild AI-video of Diddy riding on the back of a motorcycle with disgraced abuser Jeffrey Epstein. The fake video depicted the two gleefully riding down an open road as Diddy clung to Epstein. 'Man Diddy in MDC mad as a motherf***er [laughing emoji] we're did his friends go? LOL.' Free Diddy T-shirt 50 Cent shared a video of people on the street outside of the federal courthouse in New York, where Diddy's trial was taking place on Monday. The people in the video were wearing T-shirts that read, 'Free Puff' and 'Free Diddy.' One woman not wearing a T-shirt claimed someone had offered her $20 an hour to put one on. It's unclear who the demonstrators were and if they were paid to wear the shirts, but 50 Cent didn't miss the opportunity to take shots at Diddy. He posted an AI-generated image of himself wearing a 'Free Diddy' shirt in front of the courthouse and wrote, 'Ok now where do I send my $20 invoice guys, a deals a deal. If you want I can be there tomorrow from 3 to 4 OK !' 50 Cent posted another AI image of himself in front of the courthouse and included a screenshot of a news article detailing more of Cassie's testimony. Cassie's mother, Regina Ventura, testified that she took out a home equity loan of $20,000 when Diddy demanded 'recoup money' after he found out Cassie was in a relationship with rapper Kid Cudi. She testified that the money was returned to her account five days later. Regina Ventura also testified that she took photos of her daughter after Cassie was allegedly physically assaulted by Diddy. In response to the allegations, 50 Cent captioned the post: 'He [Diddy] only made Cassie's mom take out a home equity loan to pay 20k for him to not put out sex tapes. Free itty bitty Diddy! LOL [squinting emoji] wait is that legal.' Yearbook photo On Tuesday, 50 Cent posted an edited photo of Diddy as a teen in a high school yearbook. Under his headshot, his superlative reads, 'Most likely to get caught with 784 dildos and gallons of lube'. The doctored superlative refers to the lubricant and sex toys that Homeland Security recovered from Diddy's home during a raid last March. 'I don't know what he did to you but damn,' one comment read. '50 wakes up choose violence every time, another commenter joked. Diddy vs. 50 Cent The decades-long feud between Diddy and 50 Cent has permeated hip-hop culture and created numerous viral moments. In an extensive interview with The Hollywood Reporter last July, 50 Cent revealed his true feelings for his rap colleague and detailed the moment he decided not to interact with Diddy. 'He asked to take me shopping. I thought that was the weirdest s**t in the world because that might be something that a man says to a woman. 'And I'm just like, 'Naw, I'm not f***ing with this weird energy or weird s**t,' coming off the way he was just moving. From that, I wasn't comfortable around him,' he said. 50 Cent attended a roast of Diddy and shared video footage of comedians making fun of his nemesis 50 Cent has frequently recounted the story, revealing an interaction during an interview on the Breakfast Club in 2018. When The Hollywood Reporter asked 50 Cent about his relationship to Diddy, he denied that they were ever friends and clarified they only knew one another because of work. 50 Cent added that Diddy's former girlfriend, Jennifer Lopez, had pushed him to work with 50 when they were together. 'He's [Diddy] not a producer. He's been able to take advantage of the business and the creatives in it. I don't have any interest in doing that. I actually fall under the creative. So I just didn't take to hanging out with that,' 50 added. The rappers also found themselves at odds during the 2010s when they both represented rival vodka brands. Diddy was affiliated with the beverage company Diageo, which produces the vodka brand Ciroc, while 50 Cent represented Effen Vodka. In a 2018 interview on the Drinks Champs podcast, 50 took shots with Diddy, telling the hosts, '[Effen] is made from wheat from Holland and distilled five times, so it's a lot less sugar, it's the right way. 'And then later when you have a headache because you finished your full bottle of Ciroc… I told you I was smarter.' 50 has taken shots at Diddy countless times over the years, posting a video comparing him to disgraced musician R. Kelly and sharing footage of a 'Diddy Roast' at a comedy club last June. In October 2023, 50 Cent even accused Diddy of being involved in Tupac Shakur's death during a concert. Diddy has repeatedly denied accusations that he had anything to do with Tupac or Biggie's deaths. Diddy has also denied a feud with 50 Cent, saying in an interview with The Breakfast Club in 2018 that his nemesis 'loves' him. 'Y'all can't see that he loves me? You really think that's hate? You know he loves me,' he said. 'Me and him could be friends, but he doesn't want to be my friend,' Diddy continued. 'I wanna be his friend so I could teach him everything I know so he could become a better money-getter since I'm the number one money-getter in the world.' Diddy's federal trial could potentially continue for weeks. He has repeatedly maintained his innocence, denying all accusations made against him.

Meaning behind Diddy's ‘alter ego' Frank Black REVEALED after shock raid pics of baby oil crates and rope shown at trial
THE meaning behind Sean "Diddy" Combs' alias Frank Black has been revealed as his assistant disclosed what it was like working for the music mogul. George Kaplan testified that he would routinely book hotel rooms for Combs under the name Frank Black, which he said was a reference to the late Bad Boy Records rapper Biggie Smalls, whose nickname was "Frank White." 5 5 5 5 5 Kaplan, who worked at Combs Enterprises between 2013 and 2015, described working punishing "80 to 100-hour" work weeks, which would involve ensuring Combs' breakfast was cooked and his bathroom was stocked with all his essentials. Kaplan in September 2014 he was promoted from an executive assistant to the chief operating officer to Combs' personal executive assistant. He said he would have daily communication with the Bad Boy Records founder, exchanging texts, calls, and emails multiple times a day. However, Kaplan said Combs would often threaten his job security every month, saying he needed to be "surrounded by the best people." The assistant told jurors his job would involve prepping hotel rooms for Combs' alleged freak-offs. He recalled stocking the rooms with candles, Astroglide lubricant, baby oil and clothing. Kaplan said he would often clean up after the alleged sex marathons in order to protect Combs' public image. "It was implied, protect his public image. I was keen on doing that," Kaplan testified. "I found hotels would sell photos to newspapers to shame guests." Kaplan recalled he would dispose of "bottles of baby oil and Gatorade" and in one instance, cleaned up brown crystallized powder from a bathroom countertop. Wednesday's proceeding began with special agent Gerard Gannon, one of the federal agents involved in the raid at Combs' estate in Miami in March 2024, back on the stand. Gannon testified that federal agents uncovered a cache of drugs, sex toys, and high-powered firearms at Combs' mansion on Star Island in Miami.

Rapper Kid Cudi is also expected to testify tomorrow. Combs' attorneys have insisted that while Combs might be guilty of domestic violence against Cassie, he's not guilty of any of the charges against him, including racketeering conspiracy, sex trafficking by force, and transportation to engage in prostitution. The music executive has pleaded not guilty to all charges as prosecutors continue to paint him as the ringleader of a criminal enterprise. He has denied all allegations against him and insists he's only engaged in consensual sex.
