Orlando Brown Arrest: Actor Loses Movie Role In Wake Of DV Incident

by

What appears to have been a brief return to the entertainment industry for Orlando Brown has quickly crumbled before him. According to a new report from TMZ, the That’s So Raven alum has been fired from an upcoming film after being arrested for domestic violence earlier this week.

The incident took place on Thursday (December 22). At the time, Ohio police came to help resolve a fight between two men. Since the actor’s arrest, his victim, Matthew Sanders, has spoken out about the situation.

Brown was due to star in a film called Up The Score, which Sanders is directing and producing. He tells the outlet that he wanted the former Disney star to be a part of the project not only due to their friendship but also because the latter believes the former to be “extremely talented.”

The 35-year-old entertainer moved to his director’s home in Lima in November. The film project is currently in preproduction, and won’t begin shooting until the new year. Before this week’s fight, there were apparently no major issues between the two.

Sanders recounting states that Brown “came at him with a broken-off knife blade and a hammer.” Additionally, he notes that he believes his friend is struggling with mental illness. At times, he thinks the California native comes off as “out of touch with reality.” Ultimately, he’s most upset by not helping the child star with his comeback.

In Up The Score, he was due to appear in a secondary role. The film is a dramedy about a military man who, after meeting someone on social media, leaves his family only to fall victim to some serious catfishing.

Presently, Sanders has decided that Brown is no longer allowed to live with him. If he seeks mental health help, a decision to recast him in the movie might be made. However, seeing as filming begins in the near future, it’s highly unlikely we’ll see him appear.

Billie Eilish’s 21st Birthday Party Saw Her Hosting In A Sultry Santa Claus Suit

by

Unfortunately for those who celebrate a birthday around the holidays, their greetings are often lost in the mix of Christmas and other ongoing festivities. While some complain about the downfalls of this, others, like Billie Eilish use it to their advantage.

Earlier this week, the “Bad Guy” singer celebrated her 21st birthday in a Santa Claus-inspired outfit, surrounded by her closest friends and family members. As Page Six notes, she hosted an event in West Hollywood, wearing a dark red velvet corset and black belt complete with white fur trim.

Eilish’s shiny black hair was styled in pin-up curls, and her bright blue eyes stood out amid her smokey makeup. Of course, her boyfriend Jesse Rutherford gallantly posed alongside her. For his part, The Neighbourhood singer chiefly matched her festive energy in green slacks and a red cardigan.

In photos that have been making rounds from the event, friends like Nas-X” class=”text-word” target=”_blank” >Lil Nas X, Hailey and Justin Bieber, and Dove Cameron are seen posing together. Canadian rockstar Avril Lavigne and comedian Eric Andre also made appearances to celebrate the singer.

Additionally, Kendall Jenner, Olivia Rodrigo, Sabrina Carpenter, Conan Gray, Doja Cat, Petra Collins, and Noah Cyrus were there as well. Obviously, there was no shortage of star power and vocal talent in the room that night.

Though she held her party recently, Eilish’s birthday is actually on December 18th. At the time, she wore a custom shirt reading “Been a good girl for 21 years” to commemorate the occasion.

Following that, the California native took to the stage on Friday (December 23) to close out her “Hometown Encore” shows. Her boyfriend, parents, and older brother joined her, at which time Billie joked about being able to legally take shots.

by

Rather than sticking to our weekly tradition of updating our Fire Emoji and R&B Season playlists, this Saturday, we have something extra special in store – our annual hip-hop holiday roundup.

Instead of showcasing new releases like we typically do, this collection is all about setting the Christmas mood. As you may have guessed, the titles on the tracklist are all festively themed and come from artists both old and new to the industry.

First on our playlist for 2022 is Rae Sremmurd’s “Nothing For Christmas.” Immediately afterward, Yo Gotti lets us know what’s on his “Wish List.”

Of course, it wouldn’t be the holidays without Gucci Mane. We have two tracks from him for you – “St. Brick Intro” and later, “All I Want for Christmas.” Next, the LVRN label holds it down with “Ghetto Christmas” from 6LACK and Summer Walker. Additionally, we hear dvsn’s “Let It Snow.”

Xavier Omär and Alex Isley are sipping “Peppermint Tea” on their collaborative track. Next, DRAM wants to help you celebrate “Litmas” this year.

Following those selections come some huge names, like Kanye West and Teyana Taylor. They worked with CyHi on “Christmas In Harlem,” which can only be followed by someone like Tyler, the Creator. For his part, the Igor artist worked with Ryan Beatty and Santigold on “Lights On.” The track appears alongside several others on his Grinch-inspired album.

Holding things down for the R&B lovers on this update is Chris Brown, who shared “No Time Like Christmas” a few weeks before the holiday season got into full swing.

Smino, Masego, Nicki Minaj, Bryson Tiller, Kiana Ledé, Jim Jones, DMX, and TLC are just a few others you’ll find throughout our latest playlist.

Check it all out exclusively on Spotify below. Afterward, let us know what your favourite hip-hop holiday hits are in the comments.

Big Scarr’s Cause Of Death Revealed By Family Members

by

A shocking number of rappers lost their lives in 2022. Just days before we welcome in a new year, another name is topping the list – 22-year-old Big Scarr. On Thursday (December 22), reports of the 1017 artist’s death began circulating online. Since then, law enforcement has given confirmation, and his family has opened up about the late man’s cause of death.

TMZ reportedly spoke with the late recording artist’s uncle, Arthur Woods, who was able to provide more information regarding his nephew’s death. Apparently, the Memphis native – born Alexander Woods – was at his girlfriend’s house yesterday when he overdosed on prescription pills.

It remains unclear where Scarr got the medication. However, his family says that the countless traumatic experiences he went through, such as being shot and surviving a serious car accident, were heavy for him.

While the pain was undeniably brutal, it only inspired Woods to grow and make a name for himself in the industry. His stage moniker came as a result of the vehicle crash, during which he went through the windshield. Afterward, he was left with a massive scar on his body.

During his shooting incident in 2020, the bullet that hit Scarr began travelling up his spine. Following that, he needed surgery to remove his appendix.

Aside from the physical issues, Uncle Arthur says his late nephew was struggling with depression throughout his short life. Particularly, the death of his grandmother was tough for him.

Rather than dwell on the sadness, Woods is choosing to remember Big Scarr as a “nice young man and a beautiful person who was very passionate about music.”

Previously law enforcement sources shared that Scarr’s body shows no signs of foul play. They’re moving forward with a further investigation of his death at this time. Check back in with HNHH later for any updates.

RIP.

Megan Thee Stallion’s Ex Bodyguard’s Nudes Leak After He No-Shows Tory Lanez Trial

by

Just when we thought the Tory Lanez and Megan Thee Stallion trial couldn’t come with any more curve balls, we’ve been hit with another. Following reports that the Houston native’s former bodyguard, Justin Edison, is missing, nudes allegedly believed to be his have leaked online, causing a major stir on Twitter.

The “Hot Girl Summer” hitmaker’s ex-security was due to testify in court last Friday (December 16). However, he inexplicably failed to show up at the courthouse last week. Prior to that, he was expected to say that the Canadian apologized to him for shooting his client.

It’s worth noting that Edison wasn’t actually present at the time of the incident, though he did vehemently vow to protect Thee Stallion afterward. Presently, the reason for his absence remains unknown, though some blogs did speculate that he was in Qatar for the FIFA World Cup.

A source previously told Media Take Out that the bodyguard was protecting an anonymous VIP at the games, and even provided Instagram photos believed to be him. However, the account holder who shared the snapshots shut down the gossip, telling people that the man in the photograph is not the one they were looking for.

Ultimately, the trial wrapped up its closing statements earlier this week without hearing Edison’s testimony. Additionally, Tory Lanez never took the stand, though both Megan Thee Stallion and Kelsey Harris did.

Unfortunately, the former athlete isn’t completely off the hook. As his name was circulating for his apparent disappearance, someone decided it was the perfect time to leak alleged nudes belonging to him.

At this time, it hasn’t been officially confirmed whether it’s Edison in the viral photos. However, various blogs have already attributed them to him, causing plenty of unwanted attention to head his way.

On Twitter, the discourse regarding the situation has been coming in nonstop. “Tattoos don’t match. When compared to his most recent and old pictures. First he went missing and now someone is trying to claim this is his nudes? What’s really going on with this case and behind the scenes???” one user pondered.

“The fact that Justin Edison’s nudes leaked and y’all are laughing at his size rather than addressing the obvious extortion attempt and revenge porn is disgusting,” another pointed out.

Other responses came from those who were simply eager to see the nudes for themselves.

Check out more Twitter reactions below. Afterward, read our latest update on the Megan Thee Stallion and Tory Lanez trial here.

Yung Miami & G Herbo Discuss Cheating And Sneaky Links On “Caresha Please”

by

Just a few weeks ago, Yung Miami was hinting at the possibility of having to cancel her award-winning Caresha Please podcast. At the time, the reasoning she gave is that her fellow celebrities are afraid of the smoke. However, one rapper has since come forward and was feeling brave enough to be grilled by the City Girl in her hot seat – G Herbo.

The two recording artists had plenty to discuss, from their romantic lives (he shares two children with Taina Williams and one with Ari Fletcher while she’s been spending time with Diddy) to their careers. In the show’s typical fashion, the host didn’t hold back when asking questions. Particularly, she pressed her guest regarding the history of his fidelity within relationships.

“I wouldn’t say I’m a cheater,” Herbo said of his present-day actions. “I’ve cheated though,” he went on to confirm. Without missing a beat, Miami asked him, “Did you cheat on Ari with Taina?”

The “Chi-Raq” hitmaker paused briefly before answering honestly. “Yeah,” he said. As Caresha asked him why he made that decision, the father of three further explained, “I was young. I was dumb. I ain’t know no better, man, I was just doin’ shit. Like, just cheating.”

“I ain’t gonna say I was just cheating,” he went on, taking back his last words. “But like, me and Ari was at a space – and I done talked to her about this already. I already said my piece and apologized. We was at a space where, like I said, I be going through shit mentally and I’ve gotta like separate myself from shit.”

“Me and her was having our differences, but that was no excuse to hear on her,” Herbo told Miami. The “Ex For A Reason” artist then pointed out that Fletcher was open about her struggles with post-partum depression after giving birth to the rapper’s baby.

Now, he realizes how serious the struggles can be. At the time, though, the 27-year-old says he had never been around a woman experiencing something like that. “At the same time, when she was going through that, I had just lost one of my best friends,” he recalled.

“I was super stressed, but that ain’t no excuse. I ain’t make no excuse, I had to make peace with myself early on, because I thought I was right back then.

Elsewhere in the interview, the two discussed the intimate details of Yung Miami’s bedroom life. Though she’s never shy about showing her love for Diddy, it turns out that she’s got an old faithful sneaky link of her own in the form of her baby daddy, Southside.

Check it out in the video below, and watch G Herbo’s full appearance on Caresha Please here.

It’s been just over a year since Memphis rapper Young Dolph’s tragic murder in his hometown.

Although the hip-hop community is continuing to mourn the loss of one of Southern rap’s most prolific stars, there’s some good news for Dolph fans.

The late rapper is set to be honored in the form of a museum called the “Dolphland Pop-up Museum Tour.” The announcement was made by his estate, his record label (Paper Route Empire) and the Trap Music Museum on Wednesday (December 21).

The exhibition will reportedly include both personal items from the Memphis native, as well as curated art. Furthermore, the focus is to reflect Dolph’s “unforgettable lyricism, personality, entrepreneurial spirit, philanthropy and historic moments from his legendary career.”

“The goal of the pop-up museum is to showcase the character of a leader and businessman, and to highlight the journey of someone whose early beginnings may mirror that of many young kids and entrepreneurs starting, so that they may draw inspiration to keep pushing on their own endeavors,” says Paper Route Empire CEO, Daddy-O in a statement.

The exhibit will be coming to several U.S. cities. The first of which will be New York City from January 13-15. Other stops it will make include touching down in Los Angeles, Atlanta, Chicago and Dallas.

The “100 Shots” rapper’s first posthumous album, Paper Route Frank, just arrived earlier this month. The 13-track project boasts features from the likes of Key Glock, Gucci Mane, 2 Chainz and more.

Finally, make sure to stream the posthumous release, as well as the rest of Dolph’s music on your preferred streaming platform. He owns all of his masters, meaning that his family will see the profit from these streams.

If the pop-up museum comes to your nearest city, will you be checking it out? Comment down below and stay tuned to HNHH for the latest industry updates.

Chrisean Rock Says She’s Had Three Abortions With Blueface

by

It seems as though Blueface and Chrisean Rock’s relationship keeps getting more and more toxic with the more reports that come out. Whether you’re a fan of them or not, they have been all over the headlines throughout the year.

Adding to the drama, Rock recently revealed some new information surrounding the couple.

In an appearance on the Know For Sure podcast, she confesses to having three abortions with the “Bleed It” rapper. The media personality says that it hasn’t felt like the right time each time she’s been pregnant with his child.

“If I have a baby, I’m keeping it this time. I killed like, three of them. You know you always have that bad feeling, like, this [is] not right,” she reveals. When the hosts ask her if now is the right time, she seems to stumble over her words. “I wouldn’t mind if it was right now,” before retracting and saying she needs a ring before she has a kid with the L.A. native.

The couple have allegedly been in an on-and-off relationship for several years. Her career in entertainment began in 2020 when she starred in Blueface’s controversial reality show, Blue Girl’s Club. Although they say not to mix business with pleasure, the 25-year-old went on to sign her to his record label, Blueface LLC.

Last year, however, she was reportedly dropped by the label after a heated argument with the “Bleed It” rapper. She subsequently broke into one of his homes.

Furthermore, the toxic couple was publicly spotted in a physical altercation earlier this year. This wasn’t the first time.

Regardless of the countless fights, baby mama drama and tattoos, the couple is going ahead with their new reality TV show, aptly-titled Crazy In Love. The upcoming series will of course be available on Zeus Networks, home to other reality shows including Baddies South.

What are your thoughts on Blueface and Rock’s complicated relationship? Sound off in the comments down below and read more of the latest stories surrounding them here. As always, stay tuned to HNHH for the latest updates.

Alicia Silverstone Poses Nude For PETA, “Clueless” Star Says She “Never” Gets Naked

by

It’s no secret that sex sells – PETA has known this for years, which is precisely why they recruit stunning celebrities to star in their informative campaigns. The shock appeal of seeing a famous face (and body) nude while reminding you about the wrongs of animal cruelty truly never gets old for the organization.

In the past, stars like Pamela Anderson, Karina Smirnoff, and Bethenny Frankel all bared their physiques for the camera in favour of saving their furry friends. Now, it’s Clueless actress Alicia Silverstone’s turn to break the internet.

The new campaign made its debut on Tuesday (December 20). Ahead of the release, PEOPLE shared a first look at the accompanying video. “I never, ever, get naked in TV, in film, nothin’, never, nope,” the blonde beauty tells the camera.

“But I’ve done it for PETA because that’s how much it matters to me,” she added. “The amount of resources, water, food, oil for transport, the amount of energy that goes into making leather is extraordinary. It’s just not sustainable. The Earth can’t handle it.”

In the new photos, Silverstone wears nothing but cowboy boots while posing in a cactus field. “DON’T BE A PRICK,” the clever slogan reads. “Wear Vegan. Buy cactus, mushroom, or apple leather instead!”

The mother of three herself is a long-time vegan, making the personal decision to change her diet back in 1999. Since then, she’s often used her platform as a place to speak on animal rights and other issues.

In the new campaign video, Silverstone says that her dream is to get “earth-friendly materials into the hands of famous designers” so the industry as a whole can gravitate closer toward sustainability.

“I’d rather go naked than wear animals,” she additionally notes in the clip.

Though it’s already making rounds on social media, PETA has plans to launch the new ad on a billboard in Times Square before the ball drops on New Year’s Eve.

Check out Alicia Silverstone’s latest photoshoot below, and come back later for more pop culture news updates.

U Of Idaho Murder Investigation Leads Police To Eugene, Oregon To Search Vehicle

by

Some are starting to believe that last month’s shocking murder investigation at the University of Idaho has gone cold. However, new updates continue to surface as police search for answers regarding the mysterious deaths of Madison Mogen, Kaylee Goncalves, Xana Kernodle, and Ethan Chapin.

Over the weekend, several videos circulating online made headlines as suspicion began to build around an unknown man named Adam. In a new video, two of the victims walk through downtown Moscow. As they make their way down the street, they gossip about telling the man “everything.” Strolling with them is a male figure previously seen in another video of the girls at a food truck.

According to TMZ, Adam is now known to be a local bartender. He has no involvement in the investigation in any way at this time.

While that lead was a dead end, authorities have thankfully been led to another clue – located all the way in Eugene, Oregon. In the city that’s nearly 500 miles away, a white Hyundai Elantra has been found. Additionally, there was a person sleeping inside of it.

The local police department received a call over the weekend about the vehicle. Officers promptly responded to the scene and made contact with the individual inside. Afterward, no further report was made.

Oregon cops are in contact with those in Moscow regarding the vehicle, which was brought up previously in press conferences. After scoping out various surveillance footage, Idaho police told the public that they were searching for a car of the same make and model.

Currently, they’re working to see if there’s any connection between the Hyundai and their ongoing murder investigation.

In other recent updates, a police officer’s body cam video captured on the same night of the slayings appears to include a chilling scream in the background. Check that out here, and tap back in with HNHH later for any updates. RIP.
