Tiffany Haddish’s Drug Test Requirements Reduced Amid Legal Proceedings

Comedian Tiffany Haddish finds herself in the spotlight once again as updates emerge regarding her ongoing legal battle stemming from a 2022 DUI arrest in Georgia. Recent reports shed light on developments in the case, revealing that a Georgia judge has agreed to reduce the frequency of drug tests required of Haddish while she awaits trial.

According to court documents obtained by Radar Online, a recent hearing saw Haddish’s legal team arguing for modifications to the comedian’s bond conditions. These modifications specifically targeted the frequency of drug testing, with Haddish’s team successfully advocating for a reduction in the number of tests she must undergo.

Haddish’s troubles began in January 2022 when she was arrested for driving under the influence in Georgia after officers pulled her over and determined she had been smoking marijuana. The comedian contested the arrest, accusing the officers of an “unlawful search” and challenging the admissibility of evidence obtained during the incident.

Following her Georgia arrest, Haddish faced further legal woes in November 2023 when she was arrested for a second DUI in Los Angeles. This led Georgia prosecutors to demand additional conditions be added to Haddish’s bond, including abstaining from alcohol and drugs, including CBD products, and submitting to weekly drug tests.

Despite these legal challenges, Haddish recently reached a plea deal in her Los Angeles criminal case, resulting in the dismissal of all DUI charges in exchange for a reckless driving charge and probation.

As Haddish’s legal battles continue, the Georgia case, initially set for trial earlier this month, has been postponed until April. However, recent developments have seen a positive outcome for the comedian as the judge presiding over her DUI case granted a motion to reduce the frequency of drug testing. Haddish will now only be required to submit to bi-monthly drug tests, marking a notable change in her legal proceedings.

The reduction in drug test requirements represents a significant development in Tiffany Haddish’s ongoing legal saga, offering a glimmer of hope amidst the complexities of the legal system.

KeKe Palmer’s Mother Confused By Restraining Order Request

Keke Palmer Announces 'Big Boss' Tour Starting This September

Actor Sarunas Jackson has made headlines as he attempts to obtain a restraining order against his brother’s baby mama, actress KeKe Palmer. However, he faces challenges in locating KeKe to serve the notice, leading to a legal saga that has caught the attention of social media.

As reported this week, Sarunas Jackson is renewing his efforts to secure a restraining order against KeKe Palmer, citing difficulties in finding her to serve the necessary legal notice. The actress’s mother and manager, Sharon Palmer, expressed her confusion and disapproval of Sarunas’ actions, dismissing them as a mere attempt to gain attention through her famous daughter.

Radar Online reports that Sharon Palmer has gone on record, stating that KeKe “never wants to see him again.” Despite Sarunas’ initial request being denied by a judge, he has been granted another opportunity to present his case in court. The stumbling block, however, is his claim that he cannot locate KeKe to serve the hearing notice.

Sharon Palmer, who raised KeKe in Illinois, has a straightforward response to Sarunas’ legal pursuits, dismissing them as baseless and attributing them to what she believes is clout chasing. “God bless him, but this clout chasing must stop,” she told RadarOnline.com.

The confusion and drama surrounding this legal dispute have left fans and followers curious about the underlying issues between Sarunas Jackson and KeKe Palmer. As the courtroom saga unfolds, the public is left to ponder whether this is a genuine legal matter or a case of seeking publicity through a high-profile connection.

Amidst the conflicting statements, one thing is clear – the unfolding drama surrounding Sarunas Jackson’s pursuit of a restraining order against KeKe Palmer has become a spectacle in the entertainment world, capturing the attention of those who follow the lives of these prominent figures. Stay tuned as the court proceedings shed light on the truth behind the headlines and whether this legal tussle is indeed a matter of substance or merely an attempt to grab the spotlight.

Kanye West Reveals 2024 Presidential Endorsement: ‘Trump All Day’

by
Kanye West Meets Trump WH

Kanye West is back on the Donald Trump support train. Paparazzi caught up with the rapper and asked about his support. Ye made no secret about his endorsement. “Yeah, of course, it’s Trump all day. What you talking ’bout? You know what it is.”

You can see the moment below.

The endorsement comes after a 2022 video from Ye detailing a visit to Mar-a-Lago that didn’t go well.

While YE was at Trump’s Florida home, he offered the idea of Trump being his running mate for President. Trump would be the vice president.

“I think the thing that Trump was most perturbed about [was] me asking him to be my vice president. I think that was, like, lower on the list of things that caught him off guard. It was the fact that I walked in with intelligence,” Ye said.

Ye said in the conversation that Trump insulted Kim Kardashian and told the former billionaire he would fail in the election. “And I was thinking like, ‘That’s the mother of my children.’ Since we and all the Christians in America that love Trump know that Trump is a conservative, we’re gonna demand that you hold all policies directly to the Bible.”

What was Ye’s response: “‘Woah Woah, hold on, hold on, Trump. You’re talking to Ye.’”

Nick Fuentes, a white supremacist, also attended the controversial dinner. More on that below.

Rhino Announces 30th Anniversary Edition Of Tina Turner’s ‘What’s Love Got To Do With It’

by
unnamed 26

In celebration of the 30th anniversary of Tina Turner’s What’s Love Got To Do With It, a brand new suite of special edition albums are to be released on April 26. The 4CD/1DVD boxed set will include the original album remastered on CD1, with CD2 featuring a collection of edits, remixes and acapella. CD3 and CD4 features Turner’s live show at the Blockbuster Pavilion in 1993 remastered, which can also be watched on the DVD along with three music videos. The boxed set also includes a poster and a 24-page booklet. Additional album formats include a 1-LP and 2-CD and is available to stream digitally. Pre-order here.

Originally released on June 15, 1993, What’s Love Got To Do With It was a commercial and critical success. The album was the soundtrack for the Tina Turner biographical film of the same name and reached No.1 in the UK, also making the top 10 in Switzerland, Germany, Austria, and Canada, and the top 20 in the US. The album went on to be a platinum record across the world, including the US, UK and Switzerland. It was a collection of songs, some of which were re-recorded from Turner’s ‘Ike & Tina Turner’ period, including “A Fool In Love,” as well as five brand new songs, one of which – “I Don’t Wanna Fight” – became a top 10 hit in both the US and UK. The album also includes Turner’s version of The Trammps’ disco classic “Disco Inferno,” a song she had often performed live in concert in the late 70s but never previously recorded in the studio. Two tracks from her 1984 breakthrough solo album Private Dancer are also included – the title track and a different re-mixed version of “I Might Have Been Queen.”

Turner has sold over 200 million records and has had 10 UK top 10 hit singles and nine UK top 10 albums and was the first female artist to have a top 40 hit in six consecutive decades in the UK. Her albums combined are 20x platinum in the UK and 9x platinum in the US whilst also achieving huge sales throughout the rest of the world. She has won eight Grammy® Awards and has been nominated for 25. She was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame® in 1991 and has stars on the Hollywood Walk Of Fame and St. Louis Walk of Fame. Her 1988 Break Every Rule tour broke the world record for the largest paying audience at a solo concert, with 184,000 at the Maracanã in Rio de Janeiro, and Rolling Stone Magazine named her No.17 on the 100 Greatest Singers of All Time and No.63 on the 100 Greatest Artists of All Time.
