Alright, alright, alright! Hold up! It’s your main man Jacky Jasper, serving the hottest tea in Tinseltown. Let’s break it down.
Ya girl, Halle Berry, is throwin’ shade and showin’ receipts. Why, you ask? Well, she ain’t too pleased with our Canadian Champagne Papi, Drake. The dude took a flashback pic of Halle, from back in 2012 when she was gettin’ slimed on, and thought it’d be smooth to slap that image on his new track ‘Slime You Out.’ C’mon, Drizzy!
Now, rumor has it that Drake slid into Halle’s DMs to ask for the green light, but guess what? She hit him with the red. “No-go,” she said. But Drizzy, being Drizzy, went rogue.
Fast forward, Halle’s got somethin’ to say. She hops on her ‘Gram, droppin’ some subliminal wisdom like, “Sometimes you gotta be the BIG man, even if you rockin’ heels.” Didn’t call him out by name, but we ain’t blind. We all see you, Halle!
Now, a fan being a fan, wanted the 411. Asked Halle straight up, “What’s the deal with Drake and that pic?” And she hits back, “Thought that boy had class! But if you’re gonna ask and I say no, then why go rogue? That’s a low blow. Not cool, Champagne Papi. Not cool.”
But wait, there’s more! Halle’s out here making it clear, “Just ’cause I don’t own the pic, don’t mean you play me like that. Why ask if you gonna do you? That’s a slap in the face!”
Now Drizzy ain’t directly addressed the drama. But he’s out there, posting pics with cryptic messages. Rockin’ a tee that screams, “What the hell is going on?” and captioned it, “literally tho…”
Alright, HSK fam, Jacky Jasper’s got the inside scoop on one of the most embarrassing industry leaks in recent memory. Grab your popcorn because this tea is scalding!
So, the scene is set with director Deon Taylor, who, if y’all remember, gave us that epic fail, “Fear,” earlier this year, which also starred Andrew Bachelor (aka King Bach) along side Joseph Sikora, Terrence J and the rapper TI. I mean, who knew a movie could crash and burn that spectacularly? Anyway, the man thought he could redeem himself by diving into the world of TV pitches, and boy, was he mistaken.
In a leaked Zoom conference video, Taylor tries to make his big pitch for a TV series revolving around social media sensation, King Bach. But here’s where things go hilariously south: the man seemed to have done zero homework. First off, he claims that King Bach met Steve Jobs. News flash, Deon: Steve Jobs left us in 2011, a whole three years before Vine even came into existence! And we’re supposed to believe that King Bach was chilling with Jobs? C’mon now!
And speaking of King Bach, let’s get one thing straight: while the man surely made waves on Vine, claiming he was the first social media celebrity is a stretch. Ever heard of Tila Tequila, Deon? But wait, the cringe doesn’t end there. Taylor’s tech knowledge is laughably basic. For someone attempting to pitch a show about a social media star, you’d think he’d know the basics, right?
The cherry on top of this mess? Deon openly mentions he wants to “rip off” the concept of “Entourage.” Originality clearly isn’t his strong suit.
For those keeping score at home: Deon Taylor is zero for…well, all of his movies in terms of profits. And now, with this half-baked pitch, it’s clear that research, understanding, and maybe a little honesty aren’t in his playbook.
In an industry where your reputation can make or break you, Taylor’s latest fiasco is sure to leave a mark. Here’s some free advice, Deon: maybe next time do a little research and perhaps, just perhaps, come up with an original idea.
As always, keep it locked here on HSK for all the juiciest stories and inside scoops. Until next time! 🔥🍿🎬
In a significant turn of events, Danny Masterson, the well-known actor from “That ’70s Show,” has been sentenced to 30 years to life in prison. The charges, stemming from incidents over two decades ago, relate to the rape of two women during the height of his career.
Judge Charlaine F. Olmedo of the Los Angeles Superior Court delivered the verdict following poignant testimonies from the survivors. N. Trout, one of the affected women, profoundly said, “When you raped me, you stole from me. That is what rape is, a theft of the spirit.”
Los Angeles District Attorney George Gascón commented on the case, emphasizing the need to hold accountable those who take advantage of their power. “Justice was served today,” he affirmed.
Masterson’s legal representative, Shawn Holley, expressed disappointment and signaled a possible appeal, indicating that the legal journey might not be over.
Masterson, 47, known for roles in “That ’70s Show” and “Men at Work,” had his career trajectory altered in 2017 when he was removed from the Netflix series “The Ranch” following the emergence of these allegations.
A significant part of the case also delved into the alleged role of the Church of Scientology, with victims accusing the institution of trying to silence them. Christina B., who alleged a rape incident in 2001 involving Masterson, claimed she was told by a church official that “You can’t rape someone that you’re in a relationship with.”
Despite the claims, the Church of Scientology maintains its position, asserting there is no tangible evidence to corroborate the accusations. However, lawyer Alison Anderson, who stands with two of the victims, mentioned, “Despite challenges, these women held a person accountable today.”
This case highlights the ongoing challenges and conversations surrounding Hollywood and the broader cultural environment. The story continues to unfold, and we will keep you updated with the latest developments.
Yo, yo, yo! Hold up, stop the press! Ya’ll heard the tea? Diddy, aka Sean “Money Ain’t a Thang” Combs, just handed over the Bad Boy publishing rights back to his artists. We talkin’ about the Notorious B.I.G.’s estate, Faith Evans, Ma$e, the Lox, 112, and a few others still in the mystery box. A source snitched this news, claimin’ it’s part of Diddy’s Labor Day charity tour or somethin’.
But hey, this is Hollywood, baby! Ain’t nothin’ ever what it seems. So what’s really poppin’? Could Diddy be sportin’ an ulterior motive with this big dollar move? Let’s break it down:
1. Money, Money, Money
First off, these assets ain’t pocket change; we’re talkin’ hundreds of millions! Artists like Dylan, Springsteen, and Vandross have been cashin’ in their catalogs for nine figures, ya heard? Diddy’s been fieldin’ multi-million dollar offers, but says, “Nah, Imma give it back.”
2. Mase and the Cash Chase
Let’s talk about Ma$e. Homie’s been callin’ Diddy out for ages, sayin’ he’s been shortchanged. Even Diddy claimed Ma$e owed him $3 million. Outta nowhere, Ma$e’s gettin’ his rights back? Fishy, ain’t it?
3. The Timing
Ah, the irony of Labor Day. Workers’ rights and all that jazz. Diddy handin’ over rights on this day? Could be a PR move as smooth as his Ciroc vodka.
4. New Album Alert!
Check this: Diddy’s got a new album droppin’ on September 15th, “The L.O.V.E. Album: Off the Grid.” Got some big names, too—Bieber, the Weeknd, Mary J. Blige. Releasing good vibes now might just boost those sales, you feel me?
5. Empowerin’ Black Artists…Or Himself?
Source says Diddy’s aimin’ for “economic empowerment for Black artists.” Noble, but what’s the real ROI (Return On Image) for Mr. Combs?
Let’s not forget, not everyone has signed off on this yet. Diddy’s still dotting the i’s and crossing the t’s, so could there be strings attached we don’t know about?
Till then, keep it locked! And remember, in this game, the house always wins… but who’s house is it? Stay woke!
In Hollywood, name-dropping can sometimes be considered an art. Some do it subtly, hoping to elevate their own status, while others do it as a strategy to stay relevant. But then there’s Deon Taylor, who has, time and again, taken name-dropping to a whole new level. His most recent dig? At none other than Hollywood heavyweight Jamie Foxx.
This time, Taylor is in the headlines again. Sources close to the situation say that Jamie Foxx’s controversial, now-deleted Instagram post, which was perceived as antisemitic, was indirectly aimed at Taylor. After a Zoom call surfaced showcasing Deon belittling Jamie’s business acumen, Foxx, evidently irate, took to Instagram to vent his feelings. While his intention was to address personal betrayal, it unfortunately came across as a generalization, landing him in hot water.
However, Jamie Foxx’s involvement in this entire saga, though significant, isn’t the main story here. The real focus should be on Deon Taylor’s unrelenting penchant for controversy. His dismissive remarks about Hollywood peers and his somewhat audacious approach towards sensitive topics have left many wondering about his true intentions. Is it a publicity strategy, or is he genuinely oblivious to the impact of his words?
Yet, amidst all this chaos, one must not forget Jamie Foxx’s recent struggles with his health. The actor has been recovering from a severe medical complication. His emotional journey through this ordeal could have played a part in his choice to make the controversial post.
As Deon Taylor continues to make headlines, not only for his caustic remarks but also for legal entanglements, the dynamics within Hollywood appear to be shifting. Recent reports highlight the ongoing litigation between Taylor’s Hidden Empire Film Group former partner in Hyper Engine LLC., AONE Creative LLC. This legal battle further muddies Taylor’s already turbulent reputation. With each controversy, whether it’s his words or business dealings, the question arises: how much more can Taylor’s damage his own image? For Jamie Foxx and others indirectly ensnared in Taylor’s web of disputes, the hope is likely for a future free of such chaotic associations. One thing’s clear: in the unpredictable landscape of Hollywood, Deon Taylor’s fall from grace remains one to watch.
Y’all, in the land of livestreaming mishaps, we’ve got a wild one! The gaming sensation, IShowSpeed, gave his fans quite an unexpected show, but this time it wasn’t his gaming skills they were gawking at!
For those out the loop, Speed – while deep into a session of “Five Nights at Freddy’s” – had a major wardrobe malfunction. You know what I’m talkin’ about! Our man accidentally flashed the family jewels live, to thousands of viewers. Let’s just say it was a whole new kind of jump scare for everyone involved.
Immediately after the reveal, Speed’s reaction was nothing short of mortified. Just imagine the dread sinking in as you realize you’ve flashed your business to the world. He was all “Oh my God” and swiftly cut the feed. Understandable? Absolutely!
So, here’s where things get interesting: YouTube could’ve brought the banhammer down on Speed for the accidental exposure, given their strict policies against explicit content. However, the streaming giant seems to be wearing their compassionate shoes, recognizing it as an honest mistake. Speed’s still got the green light to upload. Crisis averted!
Now, of course, this doesn’t give him a free pass for future uploads. YouTube’s community guidelines are still in full effect, and they’ll be watching, but it’s a nice nod from the platform showing that they get it – stuff happens!
Since the eye-popping event, Speed (known in the real world as Darren Watkins) has gone ghost on us, taking a digital hiatus. But with this new turn of events and YouTube’s forgiving nature, we might just see our boy back in action, dropping beats, and (hopefully) keeping everything covered.
One thing’s for sure, Hollywood Street King readers – in the ever-unpredictable world of live streaming, you’ve got to expect the unexpected! Until then, stay locked in, and keep those cameras at eye level, fam! 😉🎥🎮
It’s Britney, b****, and she’s back making headlines, but not for her pop anthems. This time, it’s her personal life that’s taking center stage, and the rumor mill is working overtime!
Britney’s Mr. Right-Now, Sam Asghari, is whispering some shady tales to anyone who’ll listen. Sources are feeding TMZ the juice that Sam believes our Pop Princess has been playing naughty, not just with him, but with a staff member at her swanky pad.
Now, you’re probably thinking, “Britney? Doing the dirty with a house staff member?” Well, it gets juicier. Sam is suggesting that our girl asked a staff member to film her in her birthday suit. And I ain’t talking about a homemade music video, if you catch my drift. But here’s the shocker: Sam insists there’s actual footage floating around of Brit Brit and this mystery staff member in a… well, let’s just say “un-PG” scenario.
Now we’ve seen Britney go through some rough patches before. Sources close to the situation reckon she’s in a delicate, hyper-charged state right now, which might be leading to some questionable choices. And, let’s keep it real; it ain’t the first time we’ve seen her tread dangerous waters.
And where’s Sam in all of this? Allegedly, he’s been the rock holding Britney together. But everyone has their breaking point, and it seems our boy Sam has hit his. Word on the street is that he’s been done with their marriage for a hot minute, and these scandalous events were the cherry on the drama-filled sundae. So, it’s no shocker he’s looking to bow out and file for divorce.
Meanwhile, our beloved Britney is in a lonesome space. With her family on the outs, no real crew to confide in, and Sam hopping off the Britney train, she’s left to fend for herself. There’s genuine worry bubbling up from those who truly care for her, but hands are tied, and the path ahead looks uncertain.
Here’s hoping our queen finds her groove again and steers clear of the drama. Only time will tell what’s next for Miss Spears, but one thing’s for sure, Hollywood never sleeps, and neither does the tea. Stay tuned, fam!
Whew, y’all, just when we thought the Trump drama had reached its pinnacle, the Peach State decided to toss a fresh indictment in the mix. Grab your popcorn because the saga continues!
Yes, the one and only Donald J. Trump has found himself yet again on the receiving end of an indictment. And this ain’t a rerun, folks. It’s all brand-spankin’ new!
Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis isn’t playing games this time around. Trump and his motley crew of Meadows, Giuliani, and Eastman? They’re now officially part of a racketeering squad in the eyes of the law. Bet they didn’t see that one coming. Isn’t racketeering what they pin on mob bosses and shady underground figures? The irony! And let’s be real, a potential 20-year jail sentence ain’t a walk in Central Park.
Let’s break it down: Trump’s facing a whooping 13 felony counts. From racketeering to solicitation, from forgery to feeding us with false statements. The indictment reads like a crime novel with our former POTUS at the center of it all.
Now, most of this drama circles back to that infamous January 2, 2021, phone call. Remember that? Our guy Trump was on the line with Georgia’s top election honcho, Brad Raffensperger, essentially begging him to “find” enough votes to hand him a win. But in Trump’s world, this was just a “perfect” call. And in a plot twist nobody asked for, he’s been shouting from the digital rooftops of Truth Social, branding this whole thing as the “world’s greatest witch hunt.” Oh, the drama!
But let’s not forget – this ain’t Trump’s first rodeo with the law. Oh no! Our man has been collecting indictments like they’re rare Pokémon cards. Hush money scandals, espionage accusations, the Capitol riot? Brother man’s rap sheet is expanding faster than the universe. And let’s not even talk about the sexual abuse and defamation charges, with E. Jean Carroll winning a cool $5 million in damages against him. But true to form, Trump is counter-suing. Because of course he is.
And what’s even more wild? Amid all this, Trump is still leading the Republican pack, gearing up for another Presidential run. Only in America, y’all.
But as they say in Tinseltown, “there’s no business like show business.” And Trump’s legal drama might just be the longest-running show of our time. Stay tuned, because if history’s shown us anything, there’s always another act waiting in the wings!

Danny Masterson, the former star of the hit show “That ’70s Show,” received a devastating blow on Wednesday as he was found guilty on two counts of forcible rape. However, the jury reached a deadlock on a third rape charge, resulting in a mistrial with an 8-4 vote in favor of conviction.
The potential consequences for Masterson are severe, with a potential sentence of 30 years to life in prison on the two charges. The announcement of the guilty verdicts left Masterson’s family, who were present in the courtroom, in shock and audibly gasping.
The allegations against Masterson involve three women who accused him of raping them at his Hollywood Hills home between 2001 and 2003. While the jury convicted him of raping two women in 2003, they were unable to reach a verdict on an allegation from November 2001 involving a former girlfriend.
Following the reading of the verdict, Masterson was immediately taken into custody, handcuffed and all. Despite a defense request for him to remain free until the sentencing, Judge Charlaine Olmedo denied the request and scheduled a hearing for August 4.
Bijou Phillips, Masterson’s wife, was visibly distraught and seen sobbing in the front row of the courtroom. The impact of the guilty verdicts on Masterson’s personal life is palpable.
One of the victims, identified as Jane Doe 2 in court, expressed relief upon Masterson’s conviction. She also mentioned an ongoing civil case where she and the other accusers have sued Masterson and the Church of Scientology for harassment and stalking. In her statement, she expressed disappointment that Masterson was not convicted on all counts but took solace in the fact that he and others involved will face accountability in civil court.
Another victim, Jane Doe 3, expressed devastation at the lack of criminal accountability for Masterson’s actions against her. She remains determined to seek justice in civil court, where she believes the women involved will shed light on how Scientology and other parties enabled and attempted to cover up Masterson’s despicable behavior.
Los Angeles District Attorney George Gascón expressed gratitude to the jury for their service and commended the bravery of the women who came forward. While disappointed with the jury’s decision not to convict on all counts, Gascón acknowledged and respected their verdict.
Masterson’s trial shed light on the teachings of Scientology, as all three victims were members at the time of the alleged assaults. The women have claimed that the church discouraged them from reporting Masterson to the police due to his prominent position within the church and his success as an actor.
During closing arguments, prosecutor Ariel Anson argued that Masterson abused his position within the church to commit rape with impunity. Anson claimed that the church taught the victims that rape was not considered as such and that they should not involve law enforcement, making it an ideal hunting ground for predators like Masterson.
In response, defense attorney Philip Cohen attempted to shift the focus away from Scientology, suggesting it was used as a distraction from inconsistencies in the victims’ testimonies.
This retrial differed from the first trial primarily in relation to the allegation of drugging. While the women testified in the initial trial that they felt weak or had little memory after consuming a drink prepared by Masterson, prosecutors did not explicitly claim that Masterson drugged them. However, in the retrial, the prosecution altered its approach and argued that Masterson had indeed drugged the women.
Cohen countered this claim, stating that there was no tangible evidence, such as a toxicology report, to support the drugging allegation. He also pointed out that drugs were not mentioned in the actual charges brought against Masterson.
The case against Masterson resurfaced in 2016 after the three women found each other and approached law enforcement together. One of the women had previously reported Masterson to the Los Angeles Police Department in 2004, but charges were not filed at the time. Prosecutors were able to pursue the case under a “one-strike” sex crimes law, which extends the statute of limitations for multiple forcible rapes.
Cohen argued that the women modified their stories to fit a narrative of rape after connecting with one another and discussing the case. He contended that accusations made after such a significant time lapse create a potentially dangerous scenario.
The repercussions of Masterson’s conviction are far-reaching, tarnishing his reputation and exposing the dark underbelly of Hollywood. The aftermath of this trial will undoubtedly leave a lasting impact on Masterson’s personal and professional life, as well as sparking conversations about abuse, accountability, and the influence of powerful institutions.

LaTonya Floyd, the sister of the late George Floyd, is ready to share her deepest sentiments regarding Derek Chauvin, the man found guilty of her brother’s untimely demise. In an unexpected turn of events reported by FOX 26 Houston, LaTonya opens up about her path to forgiveness towards Chauvin.
This startling revelation lands on the grim anniversary marking three years since George Floyd’s passing.
LaTonya made her feelings known during an event covered by FOX 26 Houston. She bared her soul, stating her belief that folks may label her “crazy” for her mindset, but for her, forgiveness for Chauvin is a necessary step in her life’s journey.
She shared, “I know America may think I’m crazy for saying this, but I gotta get this off my chest. At this point, three years down the line, I do forgive Derek Chauvin for what he did… Ok, but I have to forgive him in order to move forward in my life.”
She made it clear that dwelling on this anger might transform her into someone capable of similar harm, an eventuality she is determined to avoid.
LaTonya’s path to peace involves prayers for Chauvin, hoping he finds a sense of tranquility and that his future actions will be guided by assistance rather than aggression.
Her brother, Philonese Floyd, also shared his two cents with FOX 26 Houston, highlighting the urgency of passing legislation to outlaw chokeholds. His demand is for a safer America, a land worthy of the fight many people undertake to call it home.
The President chimed in on the issue as well, commemorating the third anniversary of Floyd’s death with a reaffirmation of his commitment to push for impactful police reform.
Derek Chauvin, the Minneapolis cop caught on tape with his knee on George Floyd’s neck for a torturous nine minutes, was handed a sentence of 22 years in prison back in July. The infamous incident of May 25, 2020, led to Floyd’s tragic suffocation.
Stay tuned, folks, as we follow the unfolding discourse on this important topic.
