Dion Lewis Told Cop He’d Spit In His Face Before Getting Arrested: Report
Dion Lewis used to play running back for the New England Patriots, but that’s not why the Super Bowl winner is making headlines these days. Moreover, last week police arrested him at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Tampa, Florida on September 18. Apparently, he was causing a ruckus at the venue, and security called on the Seminole Police Department to assist them with escorting him out. According to court documents reportedly obtained by TMZ, the Albany, New York native called officers “p***ies” and threatened to spit in their faces before they took him to jail.
Furthermore, officials claim that venue staff instructed him to leave the Hard Rock location, and later took him to the valet. There, they permitted Dion Lewis to call a cab or an Uber to leave and not face any further action from security guards. It seems like that didn’t work out too well, and the filing states that he “became belligerent in front of other casino patrons, calling officers ‘p***ies,’ and advising he was not leaving property because he did nothing wrong.” In addition, that’s when the New York Giant allegedly told a policeman that he’d spit in his face “if he touched him.”

Ultimately, authorities were eventually able to get Dion Lewis out of there and to a nearby jail facility. The court charged him with misdemeanor trespassing, which is wholly due to the argument he faced with hotel and casino staff following his supposed unruliness. Still, the 33-year-old’s attorney issues a not guilty plea in his stead earlier this week. Next month, the court will assess this case, and he will have to make a public appearance at it to set the record straight.
Meanwhile, the former tailback has yet to publicly speak on this incident, which we’re sure will tell a different story. Regardless of what really went down in Seminole, it’s reasonable to think that all parties involved will be able to quell this quickly. After all, NFL stars, current or otherwise, paint a decidedly different picture than if it was just some regular gambling pedestrian. With that in mind, stay up to date on HNHH for more news and updates on Dion Lewis.

US Government Avoids Shutdown, Matt Gaetz Plans To Oust Speaker Kevin McCarthy
The US government avoided a shutdown with a late-night spending bill passed just before the midnight deadline. The Senate passed the bill 88-9, with amendments added to include $16 billion in emergency disaster assistance and FAA funding requested by the White House. However, the passed bill did not include any additional aid to Ukraine, despite that being a major sticking point for the Democrats during debates on Saturday.
For weeks, fears of a shutdown had mounted as Speaker Kevin McCarthy tried to engineer a spending bill that could pass without the support of the Democrats. However, the ever-problematic right-wing caucus of Republicans once again refused to work with McCarthy. In the end, the vote passed the house 209-126, with more Democrats than Republicans backing the final bill.

Matt Gaetz Vows To Oust Kevin McCarthy
However, McCarthy’s eleventh-hour move to compromise with the Democrats has left him vulnerable. Florida Representative Matt Gaetz announced his intention this week to introduce a motion to vacate, which would trigger a vote of no confidence against McCarthy. McCarthy agreed to a resolution during the historic Speaker of the House elections earlier this week that a vote of no confidence could be triggered by just a single member of the House. “You know what, if somebody wants to remove because I want to be the adult in the room, go ahead and try,” McCarthy said of Gaetz’s statement. Gaetz did not indicate when this week he would be submitting the motion.
It’s unlikely that Gaetz and his far-right caucus have the numbers to take down McCarthy. This is especially because the Democrats are unlikely to back Gaetz’s ploy. However, it’s yet another hold-up for a Congress that has been stagnant since the midterms in which the Republicans flipped the house. Last week, the Republicans began official impeachment hearings against President Biden. However, they were mostly an embarrassment for the Republicans, especially when their own star witness said that Biden had not committed an impeachable offense.

Drake Calls Birdman His “Real OG,” Kai Cenat, Central Cee, And Roy Woods Stop By Tour
Drake recently brought his It’s All A Blur tour to Atlanta, where he was visited by some very special guests. In new photos making their rounds online, Roy Woods is seen posing alongside UK rapper Central Cee as well as streamer Kai Cenat. The trio looked to be in great spirits, enjoying the show from the VIP section. Central Cee has opened for Drake at a variety of stops throughout the tour, including Glendale and Charlotte.
In one clip, Cenat and Central Cee can be seen rapping along to Lil Baby’s “Freestyle,” together, and seemed to be having a blast. Kai Cenat, Central Cee, and Roy Woods aren’t the only artists who paid Drake a visit at his recent tour stop, however. In another clip, Cash Money Founder Birdman can be seen in the crowd, and of course, Drake had to give him a shoutout.

In the clip, Drake makes his way down the stairs when he spots the New Orleans native. “Hey!” he says, telling fans to “make some noise for [his] real OG.” He then grabs the camera and directs it at Birdman, who takes the opportunity to wave to the rest of the audience. The two of them are known to have a solid relationship since Drake’s departure from Birdman’s label. “I’m always going to be involved in the Cash Money/Young Money imprint,” Drake explained to Rap Radar in 2019. “And my loyalty, like I said, always lies there.”
Drake’s now at the tail end of his It’s All A Blur tour, after kicking things off in July. He’ll wrap things up this month, with a couple of shows in Toronto next week. He then plans to head to Denver, New Orleans, Nashville, and Columbus, but those dates have yet to be announced.

Bad Bunny & Kendall Jenner Make Their Romance Instagram-Official
All the doubters and hopefuls got some bad news this week: Kendall Jenner and Bad Bunny are officially together. Of course, that’s not really disheartening unless you’re a hardcore Benito fan who wanted him to avoid the Kardashian curse, you lust for one or the other, or had some other reason to hate on them. Regardless, the reality is that they seem quite happy together, and even became business partners by starring in Gucci’s new Valigeria campaign. Their reposts of it on their Instagram accounts made their relationship set in stone, yet there was never really any doubt as to whether they were serious. To be fair, Kendall just posted a picture of her for the campaign as a post, but they both posted content together on their Stories.
Moreover, the two were spotted all over: double dates, horseback riding, fashion shows, concerts, sporting events, and so much more. Still, Bad Bunny and Kendall Jenner haven’t said much about their fling, and their tight-lipped nature meant for some fans that they weren’t really serious. However, we now know that the Puerto Rican superstar just wants to keep those things private, and the model probably agrees. If nothing else, they definitely made this Gucci campaign a buzzing topic online, and that promo is nothing to complain about for anyone involved.

In addition, it also added an extra layer of speculation and mystery to pretty much anything either of them do. For example, Bad Bunny’s new music video for his song “UN PREVIEW” is (according to Twitter Stans) filled with references to Kendall Jenner. The main thing to consider with this interpretation is the horse theme, which could allude to her recent Stella McCartney gig. It’s a bit of a stretch, but we’ll take it. After all, the reggaetón hitmaker inspires that allure everywhere he goes, and where she goes is no different.
Meanwhile, all fans wait on now is just a little more insight into their bond, which could come in due time. For now, though, they seem pretty private on the personal end, although making things official through a brand partnership is a solid way to hard-launch it. We wish them the best either way. For more news and updates on Bad Bunny and Kendall Jenner, stay posted on HNHH.

Flavor Flav On Keefe D Arrest: “God Turned This Guy In”
Flavor Flav has given his reaction to the arrest of Duane “Keefe D” Davis for the murder of Tupac Shakur. “I’m so happy right now that they finally found Tupac’s shooter,” he says. “It was bound to happen one day if he didn’t turn his own self in, because he told on himself. He wrote a book about it and all of this stuff, but if he didn’t do it, I felt the streets would turn him in one day. So I’m so happy that they found him. Because it’s been a minute. It’s definitely been a minute now. You know what I mean? So yeah, God is good, man. God turned this guy in. So glad. So glad,” Flav told PEOPLE.
Furthermore, Flav said that he was so moved by the news because of a deep connection he shared with Pac. “Tupac is the reason why I’m able to stand here and talk to you today. Way back in the day, there was an incident to where I almost committed a murder by accident. Tupac is the one that stopped me from doing it. So thank God for Tupac being in my life. He asked for my autograph. That was crazy. Yeah, I was crazy honored,” Flav added.

Tupac’s Siblings React To Arrest
Furthermore, Tupac’s siblings Mopreme and Set have commented on the arrest. “This is no doubt a pivotal moment. The silence of the past 27 years surrounding this case has spoken loudly in our community. It’s important to me that the world, the country, the justice system, and our people acknowledge the gravity of the passing of this man, my brother, my mother’s son, my father’s son. His life and death matters, and should not go unsolved or unrecognized. So yes, today is a victory but I will reserve judgement until all the facts and legal proceedings are complete. There have been multiple hands involved and there remains so much surrounding the life and death of my brother Tupac and our Shakur family overall. We are seeking real justice, on all fronts,” Set said.
Meanwhile, Mopreme had a more somber response. “The case isn’t closed for me,” Mopreme told TMZ. Furthermore, Mopreme said that hearing the news brought back the trauma of his brother’s murder. Additionally, Mopreme was critical of the behavior of the Las Vegas Police Department. Apparently, the LVPD only recently reached out to Pac’s family about the ongoing investigation. Furthermore, the first person who did reach out this year retired soon after. Mopreme also said that the family was not made aware of the arrest before it happened, meaning it came as a surprise to the family.

Bipartisan Showdown: How Congress Defied the Deadline to Keep the Nation Running
Government shutdown narrowly avoided: What does it mean for you?
In a dramatic turn of events on Capitol Hill, Congress managed to strike a deal, narrowly avoiding a government shutdown that would have sent shockwaves through the nation. On Saturday evening, the Senate took a resounding step by passing a crucial measure, temporarily securing government funding until November 17th. The House had earlier given its approval, surpassing the essential two-thirds majority with 335 votes—made up of 209 Democrats and 126 Republicans.
This high-stakes race against time saw members of both the House and Senate rush to pass the spending bill before the looming shutdown deadline. The Senate’s resounding 88-9 vote in favor of the stopgap spending bill was the final lifeline, narrowly averting a midnight shutdown. The bill has now been forwarded to President Biden’s desk, where it awaits his signature to officially become law.
President Biden didn’t waste any time in sealing the deal. Late Saturday night, the White House confirmed that he had indeed signed the bill into law. The President issued a statement in which he praised the bipartisan effort, emphasizing the relief it would bring to countless Americans. In his words, “This bill ensures that active-duty troops will continue to get paid, travelers will be spared airport delays, millions of women and children will continue to have access to vital nutrition assistance, and so much more. This is good news for the American people.”
However, it’s worth noting that not all Republicans were on board with this continuing resolution. Nine Republican senators voted against the bill, displaying their dissent in a time of high tension. Senators Marsha Blackburn (R-Tenn.), Mike Braun (R-Ind.), Ted Cruz (R-Texas), and Bill Hagerty (R-Tenn.) were among those who voiced their concerns. Hagerty, in particular, took to social media to make his stance clear, emphasizing the need for serious border-security measures.
Senator Mike Lee (R-Utah) and Roger Marshall (R-Kansas) also opposed the bill, with Marshall criticizing its failure to address the southern border crisis and the influx of fentanyl. Senator Rand Paul (R-Ky.), Eric Schmitt (Mo.), and J.D. Vance (R-Ohio) rounded off the list of Republicans who voted against the resolution.
This nail-biting episode in Congress highlights the delicate balance of power and priorities in Washington. As the nation looks ahead to the challenges and opportunities of the coming weeks, the implications of this compromise will undoubtedly continue to shape the political landscape.

Get Ready to Shine: Beyoncé’s Renaissance Tour Goes Cinematic
Beyoncé, the music sensation, is bringing her epic world tour to the big screen at AMC Theatres!
Beyoncé’s Renaissance World Tour is set to make a cinematic splash, and fans are in for a treat. Reports suggest that the music icon is finalizing a deal to bring her globally acclaimed tour to the silver screen through none other than AMC Theatres. The news was first reported by Variety.
What has the BeyHive buzzing is the behind-the-scenes look at Beyoncé’s mind-blowing Renaissance tour performances. On her birthday, Queen Bey issued a unique request to her fans: dress in chrome-shimmering silver. The invitation was accepted, and hundreds of thousands of concertgoers transformed into a “shimmering human disco ball.”
The tour itself stands as a testament to Beyoncé’s unmatched prowess, ranking as her highest-grossing journey to date. Hollywood’s top agency, CAA, is managing the negotiations, and there’s fierce competition to collaborate with the superstar.
The cherry on top is the rumored incorporation of visuals from Beyoncé’s Renaissance album. While she teased music video-style content when the album dropped, the full visuals remained under wraps.
Securing tickets for the Renaissance World Tour was no easy feat, given the overwhelming demand. Now, it’s turning into a must-see movie. Insiders are hinting that the movie could hit theaters around December 1.
There’s also speculation that the movie might be a secret project Beyoncé worked on with director Nadia Lee Cohen. Cohen has previously directed Beyoncé’s music videos for “Formation,” “Sorry,” and “Hold Up.”
Fans are eagerly awaiting the release of the movie, which promises to be a cinematic celebration of Beyoncé’s artistry and mastery of live performance.
We’ll keep you updated on the latest news about the Beyoncé Renaissance World Tour movie, so be sure to check back soon!
