by

Tom Cruise has shared a video from the set of Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning to promote Top Gun: Maverick. In the clip posted to Paramount Pictures’ YouTube page, he jumps out of a plane over South Africa.

“Hey everyone,” Cruise began. “Here we are over stunning South Africa, where we’re filming ‘Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning’ parts one and two. And I didn’t want the year to end without thanking you all for coming out to the theaters and thank you for supporting ‘Top Gun: Maverick.’”

“Where was I?” he asked while free-falling. “Oh yeah. Thank you for supporting ‘Top Gun: Maverick’ and thank you for allowing us to entertain you. It truly is the honor of a lifetime.”

“I’m running out of altitude, so I have to get back to work,” he said lastly. “We have to get this shot. You have a very safe and happy holiday, we’ll see you at the movies.”

Top Gun: Maverick will begin streaming on Paramount+ on Thursday, December 22. The film released in theaters back in May, over thirty years after the release of the original movie. It earned $1.488 billion worldwide at the box office, the most of Cruise’s entire career. In addition to Cruise, the movie stars Val Kilmer, Miles Teller, Jennifer Connelly, Jon Hamm, Glen Powell, Lewis Pullman, and Ed Harris.

As for Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning, the film is due to hit theaters on July 14, 2023. In a previously released promo for the film, Cruise also hung off of an airplane. That video was released back in September.

Master P Fires Back At Romeo Miller On IG

by

Master P and his son, Romeo Miller, traded shots on Instagram over the weekend. Miller seems to have blamed the loss of his sister, Tytyana Miller, on Master P neglecting her mental health struggles.

The dispute became public when Romeo called out his father on Friday. He also shared a poem titled “The Tree of Trauma” on Saturday.

“Today was a boiling point,” Romeo wrote at the time. “I seen a man avoid his own children struggle with suicide and depression but post another man whom passed today that he doesn’t even know. Yall idols be lost. Better stop following the blind. Watch when it’s revealed.”

On Sunday, Master P fired back, revealing that he hasn’t spoken to his son in months.

“This new generation of kids need to stop blaming their parents for everything. How do they think they got to where they are without their parents making sacrifices for them?” Master P wrote. “Mental illness is real and so many families are tragically affected by it especially when there is added trauma like death of a loved on.”

“Son, I love you. Stop trying to get people to feel sorry for you. And let’s come up with a solution,” he added. “You can come talk to your father and your family, like a man, you have kids too. No family is perfect but together with God, we can heal and get through this.”

Romeo responded to the posts in the comments sections, admitting that they are the “last straw.”

“I loved you so much that I followed you blindly for 30+yrs,” he continued, “You know we’ve talked behind closed doors. You aren’t the man who you paint to be and why is it war because I refuse to follow ur lead. You only want to protect your image, but the image isn’t even real.”

Check out Master P’s post on Instagram below as well as Romeo’s poem.

Amar’e Stoudemire Arrested For Punching Daughter Hours After Receiving Master’s Degree

by

Authorities arrested Amar’e Stoudemire the night of December 17th for allegedly punching his daughter in the jaw and slapping her several times. Police charged the former NBA player with battery and stated that the incident came from an argument between Stoudemire’s daughter and her grandmother. Moreover, officers reported that his daughter was “giving attitude” when he struck her. Officers set his bail at $1,500. Also, this happened just hours after Stoudemire posted that he received his Master’s in Business Administration from the University of Miami. He celebrated his 40th birthday mere weeks ago.

According to police reports, the former basketball star’s daughter told them that her father struck her hard enough to draw blood. However, it’s unclear whether this was his 17-year-old daughter or his 14-year-old daughter. An officer working the case wrote “I observed blood stains on the victim’s sweater and sweatpants” on the arrest report.

“The mother of the victim, Alexis Welch,” they continued, “showed me the photo she received from her daughter, which shows the victim crying and blood running down her face.”

Welch told authorities that after her daughter sent her a picture, she rushed to get her and her two sons. Also, Stoudemire allegedly asked Welch to pick their daughter up because she was “being disrespectful.”

Reportedly, at around 8pm on Saturday (December 17th), the grandmother called Stoudemire’s daughter. She responded, “What?” Then, her father “rushed inside her room and asked her why she was giving attitude.” Later, his daughter said she wasn’t having a tone, and she said her father told her “You’re talking back again.” The daughter reported that the 40-year-old then struck her.

Meanwhile, the UM graduate said that his daughter called Welch to pick her up. She was sad “because she received a whooping from him for being disrespectful and a liar.” When authorities arrived on the scene, they saw bloodstains and arrested Stoudemire for punching his daughter. His bond is set at $1,500.

The last we heard of Amar’e Stoudemire, he was calling on Kyrie Irving to apologize for his antisemitic comments. Stay tuned to HNHH for the latest updates on this story.

Summer Walker Giving Birth To Twins, Erykah Badu Seemingly Confirms

by

The relationship that resulted in Summer Walker’s first pregnancy was anything but easy for her (though it did give us the vulnerable body of work that is Still Over It). She was undeniably public with her struggles the first time around. Due to this, fans were rooting for the singer to experience a fairytale when she revealed that she was with child once again.

Initially, it looked as though the Atlanta native had met her match in the equally goofy Larry. She provided fans with plenty of exciting updates early on. Additionally, she even channelled her inner Rihanna by performing in some sultry maternity outfits.

However, things seem to have taken a turn for the worse in recent months. As her pregnancy nears its end, Walker revealed via social media in November that she’s single again. At the time she had nothing bad to say about her ex. What she did specifically mention is that she refuses to tolerate certain things in a relationship.

In the following days, the “No Love” songstress proved that she and Larry are still friends on Instagram. In the clip, she tells her unborn child’s father to consider joining OnlyFans after seemingly getting a DM soliciting him for X-rated activities.

Since then, she’s kept relatively quiet in regard to her love life. However, she has been sharing stunning maternity photos that have Walker’s 4.9 million followers praising her beauty.

Her official due date remains unknown, but it seems that Erykah Badu may have given us a hint that the baby’s coming soon on her own IG page. As you may recall, the industry legend was present when the Over It artist gave birth for the first time a few years ago.

“Peace peace… MEET THE WELCOMING COMMITTEE,” the Dallas native wrote earlier this weekend. “Mother – Daughter DOULA duty. Today I am training a very capable doula who is shadowing me while we assist a mommy in labor with twins.”

Additionally, Badu said, “@pumacurry I’m so proud of [you] and I really really like you. A doula must be like water. Follow your instincts. – Mama Badoula – (We are listening to alpha wave [frequencies] on noise cancellation.”

Seeing as Walker has since posted selfies with her dear friends on her Story, it’s all but officially confirmed we’ll have two new celebrity babies to adore very soon.

Check back in with HNHH later for any updates on Summer’s birth.

Yung Miami Speaks After Diddy Is Seen Kissing Podcaster Jade Ramey

by

No matter how many times they remind the world that they’re not in an official relationship, Yung Miami and Diddy continue to face flack whenever the latter is seen out and about with another woman. Recently, things have been particularly brutal for the City Girl.

This is because her Bad Boy not only fathered his seventh child with someone else (28-year-old Dana Tran) but has also been spending time with two other budding internet beauties. Around the same time he shared the news of little Love Sean Combs’ birth on Twitter, paparazzi caught him strolling through New York City with a YouTuber named Shawntya Joseph.

Not long after that, it seems Diddy took a mystery woman on a dinner date to Nobu. Once again, paps took photos that make it undeniably clear she had his attention. Internet sleuths have since identified her as podcast host Jade Ramey, who herself has over 1.1 million Instagram followers.

As the new father continues to make rounds with his roster, the heckling targeted at Miami has only increased. Initially, it was mostly Akademiks throwing shade, but now, randoms in her comment section have joined the chat. “Can we give Diddy the same energy he’s giving you?” one person asked Caresha.

“But [you’re] a City Girl, right?” they went on. “I get it, y’all got love for each other, but he’s making us City Girls look crazy. Likeee ain’t noooo way a real City Girl is letting a grandpa get one up on us.”

Shortly after seeing the comments, Miami reminded the internet for the thousandth time, “that’s not my man and he’s free to do what he want!”

“I’m not in a relationship,” the podcast host additionally explained. “My focus is building my brand right now! I been through a lot these past three [years]. I’m just having fun!”

In fact, amid all the drama, the mother of two has been busy on the set of her Caresha Please show. On Twitter last week, she revealed that a new episode will be dropping before the end of the month.

Who do you hope Yung Miami interviews on her REVOLT series? Let us know in the comments, and check back later for more pop culture news updates.

Drake Wins $1 Million Bet On Argentina Beating France In World Cup

by

Argentina defeated France in the FIFA World Cup today, and Drake won big as a result. It was a nail-biting game between the two soccer titans, going to extra time and a shootout. While France’s powerhouse Kylian Mbappé scored thrice, Argentina’s superstar Lionel Messi scored two of their seven total goals to secure the win. The Canadian artist bet $1 million on the Latin American country’s victory, and casino streamer Roshtein matched it for France.

LUSAIL CITY, QATAR – DECEMBER 18: Lionel Messi, Captain of Argentina lifts the FIFA World Cup Trophy following his team’s victory in the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 Final match between Argentina and France at Lusail Stadium on December 18, 2022 in Lusail City, Qatar. (Photo by Marc Atkins/Getty Images)

“@roshtein my bet is in for tmrw @stake,” Drake wrote via Instagram on a screenshot of his bet. While both bet a million, Drake’s payout was $2,750,000, while Roshtein’s (real name Ishmale Schwartz) was $100,000 more. When Schwartz posted his bet, he wrote “Oui monsieur @champagnepapi vive la France @stake.”

While this ended up going great for the 6 God, many thought that he infected Argentina with the “Drake curse.” Moreover, he built a reputation for associating with teams that end up losing, even though there are always exceptions. However, it’s not hard to see why it’s become a thing. In October, Drake bet on FC Barcelona to beat Real Madrid, which was unsuccessful. The team even wore a special jersey as part of their Spotify partnership that featured the OVO owl.

After Drizzy posed with Manchester City’s Sergio Aguero for a picture, they lost the Champions League. In other sports, the trend also lines up. The Clemson Tigers won the 2019 College Football Playoff National Championship, yet Drake wore an Alabama hoodie before the match. Also, there’s the case of once-undefeated boxer Anthony Joshua. He lost for the first time in his professional career against Andy Ruiz Jr. in June of 2019 after getting the Toronto rapper’s support.

What we know for sure is that Drake will keep winning. He announced recently that he’ll be going on tour next year, which is sure to get fans ecstatic.

What do you think of the World Cup and Drake’s bet? Did you put up money for your team and how did that turn out? Let us know in the comments down below. Also, stay tuned to HNHH for the latest in sports, music, high risks, and the highest rewards.

Idaho University Slayings: New Video Raises Suspicion Around Man Named “Adam”

by

Just over a month ago, a tragedy unlike any other struck the community of Moscow, Idaho. At the time, four students were victims of a stabbing in their off-campus residence. Unfortunately for the loved ones of the deceased, as well as concerned locals, the brutal murders remain unsolved. However, on Sunday (December 18), TMZ came through with some updates on the investigation.

Earlier this month police confirmed that they would be upping campus security at the local university ahead of graduation. They had no further information to provide the public then. Still, they did advise everyone to stay alert and travel in large groups. At this time, any potential suspect’s identities are not publicly known. Now, though, new video footage is drawing attention to an unknown man named Adam.

Two of the victims – Kaylee Goncalves and Maddie Mogen – spent their last night alive walking with a mysterious male throughout the city’s downtown. Only photo stills of the video are available at this time to protect the investigation. Their outfits are the same as the ones worn in a previously circulating video in which they get a bite at a food truck, just hours before losing their lives.

The unknown man appears in that same clip. He was “later cleared by police as a suspect in the slayings,” TMZ notes. In the newer footage, one of the girls asks her friend, “Maddie, what did you say to Adam?” The second voice, presumed to be Mogen, then says, “Like, I told Adam everything.”

It remains unclear if Adam is someone who police are talking to this point. A Facebook group dedicated to solving the Idaho investigation submitted the related evidence to investigators and is currently awaiting any updates.

Other interesting videos appearing in connection to the case include body cam footage from a police officer. The policeman spoke with three people seemingly partaking in underage drinking. The incident took place near the crime scene and around the time of the murders.

Some believe they can hear a scream in the background of the clip. Others, though, argue that it’s just the sound of tires screeching. Another report from the Daily Mail specifically states that the audio seemingly contains a scream picked up on a police mic around 3:12 AM.

Presently, the assailant(s) of the four University of Idaho students remains at large. The murder weapon is also missing, though authorities believe it to be a combat knife.

Read more about other recent updates in the ongoing investigation here. RIP.

Megan Thee Stallion’s Former Bodyguard Said Tory Lanez Apologized For Shooting: Report

by

The legal battle between Megan Thee Stallion and Tory Lanez ramped up this week, as both sides give their testimonies. Recently, Meg’s former bodyguard Justin Edison did not attend trial proceedings when called to testify. While some see this as Meg’s case disintegrating, many have noticed how fishy this seems. A source told Rolling Stone that Edison gave a statement that Lanez apologized to him for shooting Megan.

According to these new reports, Edison primarily contributed to authorities charging Tory in the first place. Apparently, the bodyguard went to the Canadian rapper’s house to get his client’s belongings. After, he claims that Lanez apologized to him for the shooting, and issued a witness statement in reference. However, other witnesses backtracked rather than disappeared, such as Meg’s friend Kelsey Harris.

Regardless, Edison didn’t appear in court to give this testimony, which caused many to raise eyebrows. “Megan bodyguard Justin Edison is now considered a missing person,” one user wrote on Twitter. However, the Los Angeles Police Department told TMZ that there’s no missing person’s case for Edison.

Said user stated, “He was supposed to testify yesterday. He’s the sole reason Tory got charged. He went to Tory house to get Megan’s things, he claim Tory confessed that he shot Meg and now he’s missing out of nowhere, yeah okay.”

Seemingly, authorities in the LAPD dismissed Edison’s disappearance enough to not warrant a missing person’s case. Still, Rolling Stone’s report suggests that there’s a lot of withheld information in this case. Also, if Edison issued that statement and had every intention to testify, it would support the Houston rapper’s emotional testimony. However, things in court are not that easy. As witnesses flip and the case impacts Meg’s personal life, people are unsure of how far this will go.

But what do you think of Edison’s testimony, disappearance, and the LAPD’s actions? How do you think this case between Megan Thee Stallion and Tory Lanez will develop? Whatever the case, let us know in the comments below. Also, stay tuned to HNHH for the latest updates on this story.

Chrisean Rock’s Brother Confronts Blueface About Their Physical Violence: Watch

by

Even if you’re not a reality TV fanatic, it’s hard to deny the appeal of Chrisean Rock and Blueface’s new show. Their relationship certainly won’t be winning any “couple goals” awards anytime soon. However, they do know how to entertain a crowd with their dramatic antics.

Last Sunday (December 11) was when we saw the premiere of Zeus’ Crazy In Love series. The first episode had no shortage of chaos, including a physical blowout between the “Thotiana” rapper and his girlfriend’s dad, as well as some bickering between the lovers themselves. Elsewhere in the same show, Rock steals a van and drives away as her man proudly watches on.

Those who didn’t watch the series debut likely came across some of the clips circulating on social media with the most ridiculous moments. As fans prepare for another episode tonight (December 17), more snippets of what we can expect have been making rounds online.

On Saturday (December 16), @theneighborhoodtalk posted one that finds Blueface in the middle of a confrontation with Rock’s brother. Specifically, the recording artist is being pressed about his very public history of domestic violence with his girlfriend.

During their conversation, the reality starlet’s sibling admitted to having hit his own baby mothers before. However, he wants to see better for his family. “I done hit them before, but I’m not embracing that,” he explains to Blue.

When the 25-year-old asks Rock’s brother why he previously put his hands on the women in his life, he quickly said, “She hit me!” Defending himself just as promptly, the “Bleed It” artist claps back, “So you did the same shit as me!”

In the past, we’ve seen how violent things can get between Chrisean and her lover. Both of them have been accused of physically harming one another. Recently, she seemingly flexed a photo of Blueface sporting two black eyes that got her some serious backlash online.

Earlier this summer, Rock’s brother publicly spoke out regarding his concern for the couple’s relationship. “Chrisean I Love You So Much and over here hurting bout you,” he wrote after hearing about the Crazy In Love star’s fight that left his sister with a missing patch of hair and a broken bathroom door.

“Our father raised us to protect our sisters at all cost. [You] da youngest one. I know you love Blue, I jus wanna ask him do he love you? I can’t play bout [you] no more Chrisean. I’ll see y’all soon,” his message went on.

Read everything he had to say below. Afterward, let us know if you’ll be tuning into tonight’s episode in the comments.

50 Cent Compares Megan Thee Stallion Case To Jussie Smollett

by

Megan Thee Stallion’s court case against her alleged shooter Tory Lanez took some wild turns in the courthouse. Amid missing witnesses, contradicting stories, and backtracked testimonies, Meg and Tory have both faced scrutiny and criticism for their accounts. However, the Houston rapper in particular reckoned with a lot of backlash to her experience and side of the story. 50 Cent is the latest to question Meg’s side, as he published a tweet comparing her to former Power star Jussie Smollett.

LAS VEGAS, NV – MAY 17: (L-R) Recording artist 50 Cent and actors Taraji P. Henson and Jussie Smollett attend the 2015 Billboard Music Awards at MGM Grand Garden Arena on May 17, 2015 in Las Vegas, Nevada. (Photo by Larry Busacca/BMA2015/Getty Images for dcp)

In 50’s post, he included a meme of Megan morphing into Smollett and a link to his G-Unit merch. Readers likely remember that the actor staged a racist and homophobic attack on himself in 2019 because he was not happy with his salary.

The New York rapper posted the caption, “Damn i’m confused all this shit going around i don’t know what to think. LOL.”

Meg’s been fighting for her case in public since April of this year, where she had her first TV appearance since the July 2020 shooting. Furthermore, she told CBS This Morning‘s Gayle King that she was never intimately close with her alleged shooter. However, in this week’s trial proceedings, the court found that her and Tory Lanez had been romantically involved. Also, Meg’s former best friend Kelsey Harris contradicted her previous testimonies that she saw Tory shoot Megan.

Therefore, her lawyers are concerned that there’s been witness tampering. Meanwhile, the Canadian rapper said that a fight broke out the night of the alleged shooting over jealousy. He claims that he slept with both friends, which started an argument. Moreover, Tory sent an apology to the “NDA” rapper, which he used as primary evidence in court.

He tweeted in February, “Good dick had me f**king 2 best friends, and I got caught. That’s what I apologized 4. It’s sick how u spun it tho.” Unfortunately, male rappers coming down on the female MC’s traumatizing experience has been a trend this year.

What do you think of 50’s jabs? In addition, what’s your take on the legal battle between Megan Thee Stallion and Tory Lanez? Whatever the case, let us know in the comments down below. Also, stay tuned to HNHH for the latest updates on this investigation.
