It is known more for its luxury shops and celebrity hotspots, not brazen, daytime shootings. Beverly Hills is the well-known stomping ground for the rich and famous, but on Thursday (March 4) afternoon, patrons of Il Pastaio found themselves victims of a robbery. Those who keep up with pop culture are aware of Il Pastaio’s reputation as being a restaurant that celebrities often frequent—making it a paparazzi favorite, as well—and bold gunmen targeted the eatery for a robbery that ended with an injured woman.
It was a regular day in Los Angeles for DaniLeighas she pulled up at Il Pastaio, but before she decided to get out of her car, the three thieves approached the restaurant. The robbery is said to have taken place outside as many L.A. locations are only permitted to allow outdoor dining. During the shakedown, a man was robbed of his $500K Richard Mille watch at gunpoint and a woman was shot in the leg. She was reportedly at a nearby table and was struck as the man fought back against the thieves.
As frightening as the ordeal was, we’re thankful that weren’t any serious injuries or casualties. Tyler Shields, a celebrity photographer, was reportedly at the location during the shooting, as well, and he claimed he “herded a large group of people into a nearby parking garage” for safety.
DaniLeigh has yet to comment on what she may have witnessed. Investigators continue to search for the perpetrators and haven’t released a description of the individuals involved.

Megan Thee Stallion is taking a moment to help her fellow Houston residents. The rapper’s hometown, along with many other cities in Texas, was slammed by a winter storm last month that results in power outages, boil water advisories and no hot water for many, as well as a senator who tried to skip out on helping for a trip to Cancun.
Hoping to speed up the road to recovery for many Houston residents, Megan has announced the Hotties Helping Houston fundraiser drive. Getting help from NACC Disaster Services and Texas Representative Sheila Jackson Lee, the drive will benefit single mothers and the elderly in the area.
Megan spoke about the drive in a post to her Instagram page. “It is always very important for me to help give back to the city that made me,” she said in the post’s caption. “I just want to say thank you to everyone who came together with me to help rebuild my hometown of Houston Texas.” Some of the names and brands that she mentioned included Maroon 5, Taraji P. Henson, Fashion Nova, her label 300 Entertainment, and Revlon. She also prompted fans to visit her website to find information on how they can help and to buy new merchandise that would see proceeds go directly to NACC’s rebuilding efforts.
You can read the announcement in the post above.
Megan Thee Stallion is a Warner Music artist. Uproxx is an independent subsidiary of Warner Music Group.
As a woman who touts a large half-phoenix, half-dragon tattoo on her back, Jhené Aiko was the perfect fit for the Raya and the Last Dragon soundtrack. The Los Angeles native told Apple Music that she’s a self-described “Disney kid,” so her inclusion in the film’s creative process is a dream come true for the singer. We previously reported on Aiko partnering with Oscar-nominated composer James Newton-Howard for the Raya and the Last Dragon song “Lead The Way,” and now, the songbird returns with a fantastical visual to accompany the single.
“I’ve always had this little fantasy of being a Disney princess, voicing one, or like being the character. And so this was the closest that I’ve gotten, so I was pretty excited,” said Aiko. “The number one thing was I heard dragon, and I love dragons. I have a big dragon tattoo on my back. I was born in ’88, which is the year of the dragon. And I just think it’s a beautiful, mystical creature that is just so many things, symbolizes so many things for me, personally.”

In one week, Sean Paul will release one of two albums he has planned for the year. Dutty Paul has been making bodies moves for decades, topping charts, collaborating with some of our favorite artists, and representing Dancehall to the best of his ability. Live N Livin is the album where he continues to connect with his roots, and the Grammy Award-winner is warming up fans with his latest single from the record, “Boom” featuring Busy Signal.
“The album is called Live & Living. I’m kind of throwing it back in everyone’s face who said Dancehall is dead,” Sean Paul told HNHH exclusively. “We have a very strong pulse. So, here we are. Live and living. I believed in the music as a kid, as a teenager, and I’ve been able to become an artist to bring new fans to this genre internationally. I feel like I am an ambassador of, and a coach on, the music.”

Her tenure as the First Lady may have come to an end, but Michelle Obama remains an inspiration to many. She’s shared her story with the world in the form of a candid memoir, Becoming, and she recently caught up with Dwyane Wade’s daughter and Gabrielle Union’s stepdaughter, Zaya, for a virtual interview. Zaya has made headlines after coming out as transgender at 12-years-old and the Wades have endured backlash from the public. They’ve remained a steadfast unit against the naysayers and Zaya has been thriving over the past year as she grows more comfortable with sharing her journey.
Zaya asked the former First Lady if she had any advice for “teens who want to be themselves and thrive like you have and currently are.” Michelle flipped the script on the 13-year-old and said, “And like you have and currently are.” Obama added, “You know, I am just so proud of you for being just an amazing role model and embracing your truth, right? You’re already doing this, so maybe this is for some other young people that are listening.”
“It does take time to know what ‘yourself’ is for young people,” said Michelle. “So, my first piece of advice is: be patient with yourself, number one. At your age, or in the teenage years and probably through your 20s, you’re gonna be experimenting with so many versions of yourself. All young people are trying on different versions, different voices, they’re learning more about their intellect, they’re learning about what they love, what they’re good at, what they like—this is the period of exploration.”
She added that often, adults put teens under too much pressure to know who they want to be in life, too soon. Michelle said a question she “hated” was, “What are you going to be when you grow up?” She said, “How am I supposed to—I’m thirteen! I’m twelve! You’re not supposed to know yet.” Michelle advised young people “to give yourself space and time to learn and grow.” A good little bit of advice for any age. Check out the clip below.

From the moment Apryl Jones strolled onto the scene for VH1 Family Reunion: Love & Hip Hop Edition, Trick Daddy Dollars was paying attention to her moves. The reality show has reinvented itself by gathering together various members of its hit franchises for a family reunion-styled retreat where they talk out any differences and find new unity. Trick Daddy acts as the patriarch of the group as he has helped facilitate the vacation, but his funny remarks about Apryl can’t go unnoticed.
Apryl, of course, gained wide popularity on the show due to her relationship with Omarion and her recent romance with O’s B2K groupmate, Fizz. Now that her relationship with Fizz has…well, fizzled out…it’s reported that Apryl and Dr. Dre may have something going on. Prior to the world learning about that last bit of news, Trick Daddy was on set with Apryl shooting his shot.
In the scene, Trick asks Apryl about the types of men she likes. “Apryl probably think that I’m ho-ish, but she’s a very fine eye candy specimen of a woman,” he said in a green screen interview. He also mentioned that he watched Apryl’s workouts every morning and invited her to his restaurant in Florida.
Trick pulls out all of his playa-playa lines and even told her she has “everything in the right place” as he put on a little pressure. Still, it doesn’t look as if Apryl was feeling it. Check out the chuckle-worthy clip below.

Colin Cowherd always seems to give Baker Mayfield a hard time, no matter what it is he’s getting up to. This was especially the case on Thursday after Mayfield revealed that he had spotted a UFO while out with his wife. Fans were waiting on Cowherd to come through with a bizarre take on the whole thing and that is exactly what he did as he brought Tom Brady into all of it.
“Joe Montana, Troy Aikman, Terry Bradshaw & Tom Brady have never seen aliens. I would prefer my guys don’t talk about it,” Cowherd said.
Brady immediately took notice of these comments and decided to take to Twitter, where he jokingly took offense to what Cowherd had to say. “How do you know I’ve never seen aliens Colin?” Brady asked sarcastically.
This was followed up by a reply from Mayfield who took a light jab at Brady saying “At your age, you’ve probably seen a bunch.”
At this point, there is no end in sight for the Mayfield Vs. Cowherd beef but now that Brady has entered his way into all of it, perhaps Cowherd will finally back off, once and for all.
