Jay-Z, the famous rapper, strongly denies serious claims against him in a recent lawsuit. A woman, known as Jane Doe, says Jay-Z and Sean “Diddy” Combs hurt her at an MTV Music Awards afterparty back in 2000. Some photos from that night are now being shared on social media.

The lawsuit was first filed in October 2024 but only had Diddy named as the person to blame. Recently, it was updated in a New York court to include Jay-Z, whose real name is Shawn Carter. The pictures from the party, which have not been proven real, have sparked more discussion about the claims and issues in the music industry.

According to a report, other stars at the party included Ice T, David Blaine, Eminem, and Jennifer Lopez. The lawsuit claims Jay-Z assaulted a 13-year-old girl after she tried to enter a party without a ticket.

The girl said she was taken to a house party on September 7, 2000, where she drank something and began feeling dizzy. She said both Jay-Z and Diddy entered the room, with Jay-Z removing her clothes while Diddy hurt her as another celebrity watched.

In response to these claims, Jay-Z criticized Jane Doe’s lawyer, Tony Buzbee, saying he uses these accusations to pressure him into paying money. Jay-Z insists he will not settle or be quietened but will fight back against what he believes are lies.

He expressed concern about how these accusations affect his family, especially his young daughter, Blue Ivy, and his 7-year-old twins, Rumi and Sir. Jay-Z said it’s unfair for children to face such awful and false stories. He stated that he came from a tough background and won’t let people play games with him.

Fans gathered excitedly around actor Dhanush at an event in London! Dhanush took part in the 7th annual diabetes walk at Queensbury Station Parade Green. The event was special because it was the London part of a tour that started in Toronto, Canada. After the walk, he attended a private brunch where fans could meet him at the Sugar and Spice Lounge.

In videos shared on social media, Dhanush looked happy and thrilled to see so many fans eager to meet him. Wearing a stylish grey suit, he smiled brightly as he entered the lounge. One touching moment was when a young fan came up to him, and he bent down to accept a garland from her. “It’s so lovely to see you all…such lovely, smiling faces. Thank you,” he said.

Many fans posted comments under the videos, some expressing their sadness for missing the chance to see him. Others commented with phrases like “what a moment” and “never disappoints,” adding fire and heart emojis to show their excitement.

In other news, Dhanush recently made headlines because of a disagreement with actress Nayanthara about her Netflix series “Nayanthara: Beyond the Fairytale.” Nayanthara wrote an open letter to him on Instagram, saying he wouldn’t allow them to use clips from their film “Naanum Rowdy Dhaan,” which he produced. Even though Dhanush sent her a legal notice, the series still included behind-the-scenes footage of the film.

Last seen in his own directed film “Raayan,” Dhanush will soon appear in “Kubera,” directed by Sekhar Kammula. He is also acting in, directing, and producing a new film called “Idly Kadai.”

On Sunday, December 8, the Hyderabad police arrested three people related to the death of a fan during the premiere of “Pushpa 2: The Rule.” The people arrested include M Sandeep, the owner of Sandhya Theatre, the manager M Nagaraju, and the security head Gandhakam Vijay Chander.

This incident happened on December 4, when the premiere was held at the theatre in RTC X Roads. Allu Arjun attended the event with his co-star Rashmika Mandanna and his wife, Allu Sneha Reddy. The police said that they were not informed in advance about the actor’s visit, which led to a chaotic situation among the fans. The excitement turned into a stampede as many rushed to see Allu Arjun, causing a tragic incident that resulted in the death of a 35-year-old fan named Revathi. Revathi and her young son both lost consciousness during the chaos. While she was declared dead, her son was hospitalized in serious condition.

The police acted quickly, providing CPR to both Revathi and her son before taking them to the hospital. A case was filed against Allu Arjun, his security team, and the theatre management for the unfortunate event.

In response to this tragedy, Allu Arjun offered ₹25 lakh (about $30,000) to Revathi’s family and promised to cover the medical expenses for her son. At a news conference, he expressed his sorrow, saying, “The money is just a way to show we care. I can’t fix their loss, but I will support them as best as I can.”

Taylor talked about how fans created special traditions during the tour. She mentioned a line in one of her songs about making friendship bracelets. When the tour started, fans brought and traded bracelets, making friends with each other. Taylor said, “You made the idea of friendship bracelets a big part of the Eras Tour. That’s pretty amazing!”

The Eras Tour, which began in March 2023 in Arizona, is a record-breaking experience. The shows featured an hour-long setlist with songs from her entire career.

Brittany Cartwright has said she won’t be spending Christmas with her ex-husband Jax Taylor as they go through their divorce. She told TMZ, “Not this year. Maybe in the future.” The couple, who were together for five years, first shared their breakup news earlier this year on their podcast called “When Reality Hits with Jax and Brittany.”

When Brittany arrived at LAX, she mentioned that she and her family are going through a lot, especially during the tough holiday season. She focuses on making Christmas special for her 3-year-old son, Cruz, whom she shares with Jax. Brittany said, “I make [Christmas] very special for my son. The whole house is decorated, and I’m like Mrs. Claus.”

There were also reports that Jax is dealing with mental health issues, including bipolar disorder and post-traumatic stress disorder. When asked about getting back together with Jax, Brittany made it clear: “That ship has sailed.” She also mentioned that she is currently “very single” but was rumored to be casually dating a former basketball player named Julian Sensley. Brittany added that her relationship with Julian ended a while ago.

Brittany filed for divorce from Jax in August because of “irreconcilable differences.” In October, Jax had to refile for divorce after Brittany mistakenly said they were never legally married. Jax corrected this error to continue with the divorce process.

There are reports of a fight between members of the Manchu family that got serious on Sunday morning. Mohan Babu and his son, Manchu Manoj, both called the police, claiming each other had hurt them. However, Mohan Babu later said through a spokesperson that these reports are not true. He said, “There is no truth in the news that we filed complaints against each other. Media should stop spreading false stories.”

Earlier, it was reported that Manoj went to the police station after his father allegedly hit him and that he was hurt in the fight. Then, Mohan also reportedly told the police that his son attacked him. The family feud seems to be about a property dispute.

As more news spread, Manoj mentioned that a person named Vinay, who helps with Mohan Babu’s university, may have attacked him on Mohan’s orders. This story is still developing, and both Mohan and Manoj have not spoken to the press directly yet.

This isn’t the first time there have been issues in the Manchu family. Earlier in 2023, Manoj posted and then deleted a video online, saying his brother, Vishnu Manchu, hurts their relatives and friends. Vishnu joked about the situation later, saying, “This is just the beginning…#HOM #HouseOfManchus.” His team claimed that Manoj’s video was part of a ‘reality show,’ but Manoj and their sister Lakshmi settled those claims with the media.
