Tom Hanks Playfully Tells A Photographer To STFU
Tom Hanks is a hoot in front of the cameras. On May 28, at the New York City premiere of Wes Anderson's new movie The Phoenician Scheme, Tom had a little fun with the photographers for holding him up on the red carpet. Tom is starring in Wes's 12th theatrical film alongside Benicio del Toro, Bryan Cranston, Benedict Cumberbatch, Jeffrey Wright, and Scarlett Johansson. Tom playfully shouted at the camerapeople in a video shared by MTV UK. "Can you hurry it up so I can get to thse people?" he asked, possibly referencing the journalists waiting in the press line. "You and your cushy jobs." I've been on my fair share of red carpets, and Tom's right. We are waiting like hungry little fish for the talent to finish taking 1,000 photos so we can ask them hard-hitting questions like, "What's the most expensive thing you're wearing?" Next, the video cuts to Tom pointing at them and playfully shouting, "Shut the fuck up!" followed by a cheeky little smile. It's his little mischievous smile afterward. Tom's "STFU" moment immediately took me back to September 2024, when Chappell Roan made her MTV VMA red carpet debut. If you recall, when photographers kept shouting her name while she adjusted her dress, someone was heard saying loudly, "Shut the fuck up!" While it was unclear who the comment was directed at, Chappell yelled back, "You shut the fuck up!" Chappell later told Entertainment Tonight, "This is quite overwhelming and quite scary. I think for someone who gets a lot of anxiety around people yelling at you, the carpet is horrifying. I yelled back. You don't yell at me." Chappell's heated interaction sparked an internet debate, making me wonder if Tom was privy to that exchange and his "STFU" was a callback. But that's pure speculation, of course. Either way, it was hilarious, and Tom's wild for that.

Britney's Wild Vegas Night With Diddy Resurfaces After Cassie's Bombshell Testimony
A storm from Britney Spears' past has resurfaced in court, tying her to a wild 2007 Vegas night hosted by Sean 'Diddy' Combs. Cassie's recent explosive testimony revealed that Diddy brought Britney to her 21st birthday bash, followed by an afterparty hosted by 50 Cent. Fans are now digging up old photos showing Britney glassy-eyed, wearing dark sunglasses indoors, and looking dazed. Less than a day later, Britney took the MTV VMA stage for her now-infamous "Gimme More" performance—widely panned as a career disaster. In her memoir, Britney confessed she hadn't slept, was battling a panic attack, and was forced onstage by her team. Now, fans believe that chaotic Vegas night was the first domino in her downward spiral toward conservatorship. The internet is buzzing, wondering if Diddy's invite and that night of excess played a bigger role in her collapse than anyone realized.

Joe Rogan celebrates daughter's birthday with ‘delicious' Sabrina Carpenter cake; netizens react: ‘This is scary'
'Is it real or cake?' — the viral question that's become a staple of Internet curiosity usually applies to shoes, furniture, or even household items. But things just got taken to a whole new level. This time, it wasn't just a cake shaped like an object, it was a full-blown hyper-realistic cake of pop star Sabrina Carpenter. UFC commentator and podcast giant Joe Rogan revealed the cake. In a move that surprised fans and followers alike, Rogan posted photos of the cake that looked strikingly like the Espresso singer. It wasn't a joke or a deepfake, it was an actual cake. For his daughter's birthday, Rogan commissioned the life-like confection from Sideserf Cake Studio, a bakery known for its mind-blowing creations. 'Shout out to @sideserfcakes for the incredible @sabrinacarpenter cake they made for my daughter's birthday. Incredible delicious art!' he wrote in the caption. And just like that, the Internet exploded. A post shared by Joe Rogan (@joerogan) As usual, reactions were mixed. Some were amazed by the attention to detail. Others, not so much. Comments ranging from admiration to confusion, and straight-up roasting, came in. One person said, 'This is easily one of the weirdest things Rogan has ever posted. I legitimately thought that was Hilary Clinton. It barely looks like Sabrina.' Another user wrote, 'Sabrina should get a Joe Rogan cake for her Dad's birthday.' A third person commented, 'Sabrina carpenter cake posted by joe rogan was not on my bingo card.' And then there were those who just found the whole thing… well, unsettling. 'Kinda cryptic,' one fan wrote. A few couldn't unsee the odd expression on the cake's face, especially the eyes, which drew some mockery. In 2024, Rogan surprised his followers by posting a clip of Carpenter's hit track Espresso on his social media. Given that Rogan rarely shares clips other than his podcast, the shoutout stood out. At the time, the song was dominating charts and conversations globally. The song not only topped the Billboard Global 200 and climbed to number three on the Billboard Hot 100, but it also earned Carpenter her first MTV VMA win, taking home the coveted Song of the Year award.

Celebrities who should be ‘worried they'll be next' as Diddy's Freak Off guest list set to be exposed in bombshell trial
THE guest list of Sean "Diddy" Combs' supposed freak-offs is set to be exposed in his upcoming federal trial, and any celebrity who engaged in the alleged drug-fueled sex marathons should be concerned, experts have warned.

Combs ensured female and male prostitutes were present and stocked the rooms with drugs, alcohol, as well as baby oil and lubricant, according to the five-count federal indictment. The guests would be forced into drug-fueled, days-long sex marathons with commercial sex workers, which would often leave victims disoriented and requiring IV fluid to recover, prosecutors allege. Advertisement Federal prosecutors said Combs would participate in, masturbate, and secretly record the sex gatherings. DAMNING EVIDENCE "I wouldn't be surprised if we start hearing the names of other people who participated in the freak-off," said Rahmani, the president and co-founder of West Coast Trial Lawyers. "Now, they haven't been charged in this case, but some of them have been named in civil lawsuits brought by Diddy's victims, many of whom are represented by attorney Tony Buzbee. Advertisement Most read in Celebrity "So, I wouldn't be surprised if one of the victim witnesses in this case mentions another celebrity. "Now, that celebrity being mentioned may not result in criminal charges, but it will certainly tarnish their reputation.

Rahmani told The U.S. Sun that if the alleged freak-off recordings exist, two sets of people should be concerned. Advertisement "The most powerful evidence that was seized by the government has to be the videos," he added. "And we've only seen one video of Diddy seemingly beating Cassie Ventura at the Intercontinental Hotel in Los Angeles in about 2016. "Criminal defendants can lie. Only when CNN got a copy of that video in May of last year did Diddy finally issue an apology. "That's how powerful video evidence is. And that's why the government wanted to get the hard drives, the iPhones, the iPads, because Diddy reportedly videotaped these freak-offs.

"It may be the reason Combs gets convicted. "There are two sets of people that should potentially be worried. Obviously, if anyone participated in these freak-offs and sexually assaulted victims, they can be charged or sued civilly. "But there are also individuals in Diddy's entourage that maybe helped set up the freak-offs. Advertisement "People buying the baby oil, people contacting prostitutes, people getting the hotel rooms, setting up the lights and cameras. "Those individuals could potentially also be charged." Diddy locked eyes with us as he entered the courtroom - inside the trial of the decade By Israel S-Rodriguez, Senior News Reporter at The U.S. Sun: The federal sex trafficking trial of Sean 'Diddy' Combs began with jury selection on May 5. Combs is standing trial at the Southern District of New York Courthouse in Lower Manhattan - an intimidating federal courthouse where the cases of Ghislaine Maxwell, Donald Trump, and Bernard Madoff, among others, were tried. Once a powerful founder of a music and business empire, Combs has been reduced to a defendant, inmate 37452-054, stripped of his mogul status, and now standing trial on five federal charges with the full wrath of the United States government against him. When I attended Day 3 of jury selection at the federal courthouse on May 7, the buzz around the start of the trial was palpable. Hours before the courthouse opened its doors, more than a dozen reporters and members of the public stood in line in hopes of securing a seat in the gallery for the high-profile trial. As you walk through the glass door entrance of the Daniel Patrick Moynihan Courthouse, you are met by bulletproof vest-clad court officers. All visitors must separate their electronic devices from their personal belongings, which are passed through a metal detector. Visitors walk through a metal detector before a court officer hands them a poker chip. The courthouse uses a poker chip system to sort the number of electronic devices visitors are in possession of. Electronic devices, such as Bluetooth-powered headphones, voice recorders, laptops, cellphones, and smart watches, are confiscated before you're allowed to enter the courthouse's main hallway. As about a half-dozen reporters and I waited in the gallery for jury selection, we witnessed how Combs entered the courtroom shackle-free. Combs entered with his hands pressed together, greeted his defense team before he examined the gallery, and locked eyes with reporters and potential jurors. The 55-year-old disgraced Bad Boy Records executive was attentive and engaged with his counsel as they grilled dozens of potential jurors. As jury selection wrapped up for the day, Combs embraced each of his female defense attorneys before he mouthed "thank you" to a handful of supporters in the gallery. Combs' trial is being held on the 26th floor in Judge Arun Subramanian's courtroom and is expected to last for eight weeks. We'll bring it all to you on The U.S. Sun. BOMBSHELL LIST OF NAMES On the first day of jury selection, potential jurors were given an expansive 17-page form containing a list of 31 personal and triggering questions regarding history of domestic violence, sexual assault, or harassment. In addition to the questions, the pool of prospective jurors received a list of people and places connected to Combs in various ways and who could come up during the trial. Advertisement The list of people included well-known names like actors However, why the celebrities could be named in the trial remains unclear. The celebrities have not been accused of any wrongdoing. Rahmani warned that the celebrities named in civil lawsuits should be concerned if Combs is convicted. Advertisement "The other celebrities, they've been able to avoid potential criminal charges, but if Diddy is convicted and others are implicated, they should certainly be worried that they may be next," the former federal prosecutor said. "I can tell you that [Richards] wants justice to be done," Bloom, the founder of the Bloom Firm, told The U.S. Sun. "Of course, it's a time of high anxiety, I think, for all of the accusers. And, you know, glad I think that the trial is finally getting underway." Advertisement Read more on the Irish Sun Judge Arun Subramanian, who is presiding over the case, said the trial is expected to last eight weeks. Combs has pleaded not guilty on all five federal counts and rejected a last-minute plea deal from prosecutors a week before the start of jury selection. What happened during Sean Combs' 'freak offs'? Sean Combs' infamous drug-fueled freak offs, first revealed by his ex-girlfriend Cassie Ventura's lawsuit in November 2023, have become a central narrative of the indictment, which alleges: The music mogul "manipulated women to participate in highly orchestrated performances of sexual activity with male commercial sex workers." Freak offs "occurred regularly, sometimes lasted multiple days, and often involved multiple commercial sex workers." Combs "distributed a variety of controlled substances to victims, in part to keep the victims obedient and compliant." He and the victims "typically received IV fluids to recover from the physical exertion and drug use" after the freak offs. Cops "seized various Freak Off supplies, including narcotics and more than 1,000 bottles of baby oil and lubricant" from his homes in Los Angeles and Miami. Combs "hit, kicked, threw objects at, and dragged victims, at times, by their hair," during and separate from the freak offs, which "often resulted in injuries that took days or weeks to heal." He also used the "sensitive, embarrassing, and incriminating recordings" that he made during freak offs as "collateral to ensure the continued obedience and silence of the victims."

Niall Horan responds to Ed Sheeran's Instagram throwback as pair confirm their 'rift' is over - 11-years after One Direction star's 'fling' with singer's ex Ellie Goulding
Niall Horan confirmed his famous rift with Ed Sheeran is fully resolved as he praised his old friend across social media on Wednesday. Sheeran hinted at a bitter fall-out with the former One Direction star in 2014 after singing about an ex-girlfriend cheating with one of his friends - widely believed to be Niall and Ellie Goulding - on the hit single Don't. But the ensuing decade appears to have healed old wounds, with Sheeran, 34, recently sharing an old photo of himself and Horan with Instagram followers. The photo is part of an online promotional campaign for his latest single, Old Phone, with the singer-songwriter treating fans to a barrage of celebrity throwback photos from his phone archive. Acknowledging the post, Horan, 31, later reposted the same photo on his own Instagram platform with the response: 'Love ya.' Sheeran has also posted throwbacks of himself with ex-girlfriend Goulding, R&B stars Usher and Bruno Mars, and a long haired Harry Styles at the height of his One Direction fame. The singer dated Goulding briefly in 2013 after they were seen looking close at the MTV VMA's, but the release of Don't the following year put a fresh spin on the reason for their abrupt split. Speaking to The Sun about its lyrical content at the time, he said: 'I got over the anger the moment I wrote the song. It's a song that came at the time that I needed to write. That's the end of it. 'I'm grateful I could get a song out of it, to be honest. I don't feel it's about anyone anymore, I'm not attached to that. 'The moment you attach to someone to a song it becomes more difficult to sing every night.' The track, which climbed to number eight on the UK singles chart, includes the lyrics: 'I never saw him as a threat, 'til you disappeared with him to have sex,' and 'If I show courtesy and respect to someone, I expect to receive it'. In 2023, nine years after its release, Goulding addressed claims of a fling on TikTok after a fan told her: 'Can't believe you cheated on Ed with Niall, but slay.' Responding to the comment, she wrote: 'False!!!! But also slay'. Sheeran was inspired to write the new song when revisiting his old phone during the copyright lawsuit around his hit single Thinking Out Loud. At the time, he denied ripping off Marvin Gaye's soul classic Let's Get it On for the 2014 song, and in 2023 was cleared in court. Explaining the new account, Sheeran wrote: 'Put the sound on and have a listen. I got rid of my phone 2015, and moved onto email full time. I just turned my phone off December '15 and that was it. 'When I got sued, the judge ordered me to give up my old devices to the other sides lawyers, to look through messages, emails, voice notes, videos, etc, to see if there was anything on there to help their case. In the process, I switched on my old phone. 'The first message was from my friend Jamal Edwards, who had recently passed away. The second was from my ex girlfriend who I hadn't been in contact with for years. The third was a family member I haven't spoken to in a decade. And so on.' Goulding uploaded a TikTok video and responded to a fan who wrote 'Can't believe you cheated on Ed with Niall but slay' with 'False!!!! But also slay' Sheeran admitted looking through the phone made him emotional for a number of reasons, including discovering pictures of his friends who have passed away. He wrote: 'It felt like a time capsule, a time of life that I was in, and living at that time in 2015. Turning it on really spun me out, I found myself scrolling messages and conversations with people who are no longer here. 'I found myself crying at messages to friends who are now dead, who I won't get to speak to again. I found old photos of me with people I was so close to then, but we've lost touch since.' He added: 'The whole experience was such an emotional journey. I wrote the song Old Phone on my own at 2am whilst jet lagged in India finishing the album, and recorded it that morning. 'It feels like a song that should've been on my debut album, but also a song I couldn't have written until I experienced real life things happening to me.'
