Update: Tiger Woods Blames DUI On Prescription Meds … Not Booze

Tiger Woods is blaming his holiday weekend DUI on being under the influence of prescribed medications.

Less than 24 hours after being put behind bars inside Palm Beach County Jail, the professional golfer released a statement suggesting that booze was “not involved.”

“I understand the severity of what I did and take full responsibility for my actions,” he said. “I want the public to know that alcohol was not involved. What happened was an unexpected reaction to prescribed medications. I didn’t realize the mix of medications had affected me so strongly.”

He continued, “I would like to apologize with all my heart to my family, friends and the fans. I expect more from myself, too. I will do everything in my power to ensure this never happens again.”

Woods, who has been recovering from a lower back injury and back surgery, was found asleep in his car early Monday morning when approached by officers in South Florida. According to the report, the former athlete “had extremely slow and slurred speech” and when asked to do a field breathalyzer, he refused.

Woods later agreed to a urine and breath test, which he blew a 0.000.

“I fully cooperated with law enforcement, and I would like to personally thank the representatives of the Jupiter Police Department and the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office for their professionalism.”

Woods was in custody for a little over three hours before being released.

Melania Trump Gets ‘Revenge’ On Designers Who Refused to Dress Her

Dolce & Gabbana fashion house scored a home run when former model Melania Trump wore their creations during her visit to Europe and the Middle East last week.

Mrs. Trump gave invaluable press to Dolce & Gabbana, Ralph Lauren and Michael Kors, making rival designers drool with envy.

Melania exacted her revenge on the long list of arrogant fashion designers who refused to dress her after her husband was elected president.

The list of designers who regret their decision not to dress Melania include Tom Ford, Marc Jacobs, Zac Posen, Christian Siriano and Sophie Theallet, among others.

The first lady stepped out in Sicily on the first day of the G-7 summit wearing a Haute Couture Dolce & Gabbana 3D floral jacket that retails for $51,500 and a matching flowery clutch. Within hours the vibrant jacket was sold out online.

Proud D&G designer Stefano Gabbana rushes to Instagram each time she wears one of his creations.

“THANK YOU @flotus #melaniatrump #DGWoman #DGStyle,” he wrote in the caption of his latest post featuring the first lady wearing his floral jacket.

Tiger Woods Arrested for DUI

Golf legend Tiger Woods arrested for driving under the influence near his mansion on Jupiter Island, Florida at 3 a.m. The 41-year-old golf superstar was pulled over after a police officer noticed him driving erratically and weaving “all over the road”.

The officer noted a strong odor of alcohol on Woods’ breath. But Woods refused to blow a breathalyzer test. Refusing to take a breathalyzer test in Florida means an automatic DUI arrest.

Woods was allowed to sleep off his drunken stupor in a jail cell. He was booked into the county jail at 7:18 a.m. then released on his own recognizance at 10:30 a.m.

In a mugshot handout by the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s office, Woods appears bleary eyed and wasted.

He was charged with driving under the influence of an unknown substance. A urine test will determine if he was high on drugs or alcohol.

Gossip tabloid TMZ reports that Woods, who lives in the wealthy enclave of Jupiter Island on Florida’s east coast, was driving southbound away from his home at the time of his arrest.

TMZ claims Woods’ lawyers have been calling the sheriff’s office all morning asking if the cop wore a body cam.

Cops were planning to tow his black 2015 Mercedes Benz SUV when a friend arrived to pick it up.

At the top of his peak in the early 2000s, Woods won 14 major tournaments and earned a total of $1.4 billion in prize money and endorsements.

Sunday wasn’t the first time the golfer was caught driving under the influence. In 2009 Woods took an Ambien tablet, got behind the wheel of his Cadillac Escalade, hit a fire hydrant and smacked into a tree in a neighbor’s yard next door to his home near Orlando.

He was fleeing his then-wife Elin Nordegren, who took a golf club to his SUV (pictured below) because he was cheating on her.

Woods wasn’t arrested that night but he was issued a $164 ticket for reckless driving by the Windermere Police Department.

He later released a statement on his website saying, “I have let my family down and I regret those transgressions with all of my heart.”.

Woods and Nordegren divorced less than a year later. They have 2 children together, daughter Sam, 10, and son Charlie, 9.

‘The Saudis Loved Melania Trump Because She is Submissive to Her Husband’

CNN shared an opinion piece by Bangladeshi pundit Anushay Hossain, who writes: “The ugly truth behind Saudi Arabia’s love for Melania Trump” is that her husband, President Donald Trump, makes her behave the way “the Saudi government likes women to behave.”

In other words, Melania Trump is submissive to her husband and stays in her lane.

Hossain writes that the Saudi press loved Melania, not only for her elegant poise, but also because she “walks behind her husband, is quiet and reserved, does not make obvious demands (at least not ones we can hear), and most importantly, she looks beautiful and polished.”

She said Melania appeals to the Saudi citizens of the notoriously anti-woman kingdom because they can relate to her, especially visually.

The CNN op-ed was intended to be a hit piece on Melania, but it turned out to be a complimentary to her husband, President Trump, for having a wife who not only looks pretty in pictures, but who behaves the way he wants women to behave.

Any man will tell you being married to a submissive woman is a match made in Heaven.

Jermaine Jackson & Girlfriend Maday Velázquez at Cannes

Jermaine Jackson and his longtime girlfriend Maday Velázquez posed on the red carpet at the 70th Annual Cannes Film Festival in Cannes, France Wednesday. The 61-year-old Gary Indiana native has been dating 23-year-old Velázquez since before his estranged wife, Halima Rashid, filed for divorce in 2016.

The beautiful couple looked like they stepped out of the pages of a romantic fairytale.

Jackson couldn’t stop grinning as his beautiful girlfriend turned this way and that way for the photogs lining the red carpet. But she wasn’t amused when the confused photogs yelled out Halima’s name.

Rihanna Wearing Dior

Rihanna was spotted leaving her New York apartment on her way to the studio. The 29-year-old Bajan singer dressed casually in an oversized Buju Banton t-shirt, skinny jeans and a Dior monogram speedy.

During an interview at the 69th annual Parsons Benefit in New York earlier this week, Rihanna said she is always searching for “new, energetic” fashion to fill the empty void inside her.

“I get bored really quickly,” she admitted to Instyle.co.uk. “I have A.D.D. (Attention Deficit Disorder), even when it comes to fashion, so I always want to find something new, energetic, something that provokes something in me that’s exciting. There’s the greats, and they’ll never not be great, but you always want to find the next.”

Manchester attack: Bomber not acting alone, says Amber Rudd

The man who carried out a suicide attack in Manchester was "likely" to have not acted alone, Home Secretary Amber Rudd says.

Salman Abedi killed 22 and injured 64 when he blew himself up at the Manchester Arena on Monday night.

Police arrested three men in Manchester on Wednesday. Abedi's 23-year-old brother was arrested on Tuesday.

The UK terror threat level is now up to its highest level of "critical", meaning more attacks may be imminent.

It means military personnel are being deployed to protect key sites.

The Palace of Westminster has been closed to the public following police advice, and will not re-open until further notice, a statement on its website said.

And the Changing the Guard ceremony at Buckingham Palace has been cancelled on Wednesday to redeploy police officers, the Ministry of Defence said.

Mrs Rudd said: "It was more sophisticated than some of the attacks we've seen before, and it seems likely - possible - that he wasn't doing this on his own."

Eight of the victims are known to be eight-year-old Saffie Roussos, Lisa Lees, Jane Tweddle-Taylor, 50, Martyn Hett, 29, Olivia Campbell, 15, Kelly Brewster, 32, John Atkinson, 28, and Georgina Callander - thought to be 18.

Two Polish people, Marcin and Angelika Klis, were also among those killed killed. They had been living in York for some time.

The injured are being treated at eight Greater Manchester hospitals. Of those, 20 are in a critical condition, and some have lost limbs.

The wounded include 12 children aged under 16.

Several people are still missing, including Eilidh MacLeod, 14, from Barra in the Outer Hebrides, Chloe Rutherford, 17, and Liam Curry, 19.

Eilidh's friend, Laura MacIntyre, 15 - who was also reported as missing - was later identified as one of the seriously injured in a Manchester hospital.

Manchester metro mayor Andy Burnham told the BBC that the attack had been the city's "darkest hour".

Nicki Minaj Confirms She Has “Sleepovers” With Nas

Nicki Minaj has officially confirmed that yes, she and rapper Nas have sleepovers. In layman’s terms, they are totally dating.

Rumors of the pair’s romance started earlier this month when the female emcee shared a snapshot snuggled up next to the Queens native. Although she didn’t confirm their relationship, you know the saying, pictures are worth a thousand words.

So while on a recent appearance on The Ellen Show, the talk show host OF COURSE grilled Nicki about her budding courtship with Nas.

“There’s a rumor y’all are dating, and if it’s true, I’m all for it. I love him so much—ever since ‘One Mic.’ That’s where I first found him,” Ellen said. “He’s fantastic and a really good guy.”

“He’s so dope,” Nicki explained. “He’s the king. He is the King of Queens, and I’d like to think I’m the Queen of Queens … I have a lot of respect for him. And, you know, he’s kind of cute, too.”

“But have you had sleepovers yet?” DeGeneres asked. Nicki confirmed that they do in fact have sleepovers and she goes to his house.

But believe it or not, they haven’t done the “nasty.” She said, “I’m just chillin’ right now. I’m celibate. I wanted to go a year without dating any man. I hate men.”

She did, however, suggest that, “I might make an exception to the rule for him, because he’s so dope.” The host hopes she reconsiders, saying, “I’m all for that, because I think he’s fantastic.”

Ariana Grande Suspends Tour After 22 Concertgoers Die in Explosion in UK; ISIS Claims Responsibility for Bombing

A 23-year-old man was arrested in connection with the bombing that killed 22 and injured over 50 at an Ariana Grande concert Monday in Manchester, England,

12 children under the age of 16 were killed during the terrorist attack by a suicide bomber outside the Manchester Arena.

59 concertgoers were injured and were treated for shrapnel wounds at 4 Manchester area hospitals.

The bombing occurred at around 10.40pm local time (5:30 pm EST), minutes after Grande finished her concert and left the stage. The audience was made up of mostly teenagers and small children.

23-year-old Salman Abedi, loitering outside the box office area of the venue, detonated an improvised explosive device (IED) that was packed with nails, nuts and bolts to inflict maximum damage to victims.

The bomber’s remains have been identified but police have not released the name of the man who was arrested after the bombing.

Grande, 23, took to Twitter early Tuesday morning to express her sorrow, saying she is “broken”.

“Broken. from the bottom of my heart, i am so so sorry. i don’t have words,” she tweeted.

A rep for Grande says she has suspended her world tour in the wake of the tragedy.

Ariana has reportedly suspended her tour in the wake of the bombing, canceling her scheduled gig in London on Thursday and shelving the rest of her upcoming European tour dates, according to TMZ.com.

A statement from Ariana’s management team, headed by Scooter Braun, added: “Tonight, our hearts are broken. Words cannot express our sorrow for the victims and families harmed in this senseless attack.

“We mourn the lives of children and loved ones taken by this cowardly act. We are thankful for the selfless service tonight of Manchester’s first responders who rushed towards danger to help save lives. We ask all of you to hold the victims, their families, and all those affected in your hearts and prayers.”

The tragedy brought out the worst in social media users who used the morbid occasion to increase their followers and bring attention to themselves.

Melania Trump Gives President Trump Low-Five, Twitter Goes Crazy

The video footage shows President Trump clearly extend his hand back with palm up. Mrs. Trump playfully gives her husband a low-five.

But Democrats interpreted Melania’s hand gesture as a rebuke of her husband — as if she would be that uncouth knowing the eyes of the world are upon her.

The high-five originated from the low-five which was popular in the black community until drunk sports fans modified the greeting in ball parks.

Mr. Trump famously offered his hand for Jeb Bush to give him a low-five during a CNN debate in 2015. Watch the Trump/Bush video below. And below that is a video demonstrating multiple versions of the low-five.

19 Confirmed Dead, 50+ Wounded at Ariana Grande Concert in UK; Explosion Outside Arena Monday, May 22, 2017

The BBC reports 19 people are dead, dozens injured at a concert by American singer Ariana Grande at the Manchester Arena north of London.

The bomb was detonated by a suicide bomber outside the arena in “a public space” according to Greater Manchester police.

A massive boom was heard outside the arena just after the concert ended at about 10:35 p.m. London time (5:35 p.m. EST). The arena seats 21,000 people.

Ariana Grande’s record label reports the singer is okay.

Photos published by the Daily Mail show injured and bleeding concertgoers stumbling out of the arena.

Greater Manchester police believe the explosion occurred outside the lobby near the ticket booth.

Concert goers originally thought the sounds were large balloons popping.

Update 8:09 pm:

Fox News reports the bomb was an improvised explosive device (IED) that was packed with nails and other shrapnel designed to inflict significant injuries.

Cher Flaunts Her 71 Year Old Bawdy At Billboard Music Awards

The 2017 Billboard Music Awards turned back time …literally with the one and only Cher. Just one day after her 71st birthday the pop icon hit the stage to perform her smash hits “Turn Back Time” and “Believe.”

But it was what she wore that had everyone’s jaw on the floor. Still in amazing shape, Cher rocked a skin-baring bodysuit glittery wig and pasties for an energetic rendition of “Believe.”

Next after a brief encore, the entertainer returned to the stage in an outfit nearly identical to the sheer black catsuit she wore in the music video for “If I Could Turn Back Time.” Yaaaas Queen!

Oh and if you’re wondering if those vocals were still in tact … they were.  The chart-topping diva delivered some seriously strong vocals and shut the house down.

Jay Z And Beyonce’s Net Worth Is Astronomical!

Jay Z and Beyonce are rolling in dough, but that’s no secret.

Just one week after it was reported that Jay Z was the second richest hip-hop artist on the planet, Forbes is revealing that Hov and his wife are officially a billion-dollar couple.

According to the news outlet, the famous couple’s combined net worth is a whopping $1.16 billion dollars. Given Forbe’s previous report, Jay is worth $810 million and Beyonce $350 million.

So how did these superstars become one of the richest couples in the industry? Jay can credit the success of his label Roc Nation, the success of his music and his little music streaming service called Tidal.

As for Beyonce, well, duh, her music. She, however, can also thank her sold-out tours, deals with brands like Pepsi and her clothing brand, Ivy Park.

Couples goals!!!

Times Square car crash driver Richard Rojas 'heard voices'

A man who drove a car along three blocks of pavement in New York's Times Square, killing a teenager and injuring 22 people, said he had "heard voices", according to law enforcement sources.

Richard Rojas, 26, a US Navy veteran who was arrested twice previously for drink-driving, is now in custody.

He also said he expected to die, the sources told AP news agency.

According to Reuters, he said after being arrested: "You were supposed to shoot me! I wanted to kill them."

Mr Rojas has been charged with second-degree murder, aggravated vehicular homicide and multiple counts of attempted murder. He is expected to appear in court later on Friday.

The streets in Times Square, a bustling tourist district, were thronged with visitors when the car ploughed through the crowds.

The burgundy Honda saloon mounted the pavement at 45th Street and Broadway at 11:55 local time (15:55 GMT) and drove at high speed for three blocks before crashing into a pole.

It came to a standstill with smoke and flames escaping the bonnet.

Afterwards, victims lay on the ground, many of them separated from their scattered shoes and belongings, as medical staff, police officers and passers-by tried to assist them.

One pregnant woman at the scene said: "A man pulled me out of the way of the car. I think he saved my life."

Media reports say a ticket agent and a worker at Planet Hollywood restaurant were among the people who helped police subdue and detain Mr Rojas.

The Planet Hollywood worker, Ken Bradix, told Associated Press: "He began screaming, no particular words but just utter screaming. He was swinging his arms at the same time. There was something wrong with him."

The incident evoked recent terrorist attacks by vehicles in London, Nice and Berlin but New York Mayor Bill de Blasio said there was "no indication" it was an act of terrorism.

Turkish bodyguards attack peaceful protesters after Trump hosted Erdogan at the White House

A peaceful protest outside the Turkish Embassy in Washington, DC turned violent on Tuesday when Turkish residence bodyguards launched an unprovoked attack on the protesters.

The protesters were demonstrating outside the Embassy residence where Turkey’s President Recep Tayyip Erdogan stayed after visiting President Donald Trump at the White House.

Shocking video released by the BBC shows President Erdogan’s personal bodyguards rushing across the street to attack the protesters.

Erdogan’s security detail punched, kicked and stomped protesters who were mostly members of the Turkish community in Washington.

D.C. police waded into the scrum to break up the melee. One officer yelled, “You know better than that!” While another officer shoved a bodyguard toward the embassy, yelling, “Get back over there! You’re done!”

11 people and 1 officer were injured in the melee. None of the Turkish bodyguards were arrested because they have diplomatic immunity.

President Erdogan was inside the residence when the bodyguards attacked the protesters.

The protesters were demonstrating against the U.S. support of Kurdish fighters who are killing thousands of men, women and children in Turkey.

Barron Trump took his entire 5th grade class to Washington D.C. to tour the White House

First son Barron Trump gave his entire 5th grade class a field trip to remember. The 6-foot-tall 11-year-old took his entire 5th grade class to Washington, D.C. to meet his father, President Donald Trump, and to tour the White House.

The Daily Mail UK reports that Barron and his classmates from the exclusive Columbia Grammar and Preparatory School in New York City boarded a chartered bus for the 2-hour trip to D.C. last Wednesday.

The kids traveled with teachers, parents, and Secret Service agents. After touring the White House, the students spent the night at a D.C. area hotel before returning to New York City on Thursday.

The trip was a parting gift from Barron who is the youngest resident of the White House and the first boy to reside in the White House since John F. Kennedy, Jr in the 1960s.

Barron will attend the prestigious St. Andrew’s Episcopal School in Potomac, Maryland beginning in the fall.

Mo’Nique slams Oprah, Tyler Perry & Lee Daniels for blackballing her: ‘You can suck my d–k’

Actress Mo’Nique is fighting back against Hollywood A-listers Oprah Winfrey, Tyler Perry, and Lee Daniels for blackballing her and preventing her from getting work.

The outspoken comedienne, who won an Oscar for her portrayal of an abusive mother in ‘Precious,’ lashed out at Oprah, Perry and Daniels onstage at the Apollo Theater on Saturday.

“What is that black d—k connected to? That black man? So no, I was not blackballed. I was white-balled by some black d—ks who have no balls,” the 49-year-old said bitterly.

“Thank you, Mr. Lee Daniels. Thank you, Mr. Tyler Perry. Thank you, Ms. Oprah Winfrey,” she continued. “I know they like to say, ‘Mo’Nique, you talk too motherf—kin’ much.’ It would kill me not to say the real s—t … You are not paying me equally. You are not treating me fairly, so you can suck my d—k if I had one.”

Mo’Nique, who is the mother of twins, has spoken publicly about her beef with Oprah and her bestie Daniels in the past.

She blamed Daniels for giving away roles that were meant for her to his bestie, Oprah.

“I was offered the role in ‘The Butler’ that Oprah Winfrey played. I was also approached … to be on Empire. And I was also offered the role as Richard Pryor’s grandmother [in a new biopic about the late comedian]. Each of those things that [Daniels] offered me was taken off the table. They all just went away. But that’s just part of the business, you know? I can’t be upset at anybody, ’cause life is too good. It’s just what it is.”

Daniels declined Page Six‘s requests to comment on Mo’Nique’s rant, but he told The Hollywood Reporter in 2015, that Mo’Nique can be difficult to work with.

“I consider her a friend. I have and will always think of her for parts that we can collaborate on,” said Daniels in 2015. “However, the consensus among the creative teams and powers thus far were to go another way with these roles.”

North Korea missile test was 'new type of ballistic rocket'

North Korea has claimed that the missile it tested on Sunday was a new type of rocket capable of carrying a large nuclear warhead.

The missile, launched at a steep angle, reached an altitude of 2,000km (1,242 miles) and travelled about 700km, landing in the sea west of Japan.

North Korea said on Monday it was a test of the abilities of a "newly developed ballistic rocket".

South Korea's military said it could not yet verify the North's claims.

But it said the North's missiles did appear to be able to leave and re-enter the atmosphere, which is crucial to developing intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs), the Yonhap news agency reported.

Katherine Jackson’s nephew demands she pay his legal bills after she drops elder abuse case against him

Michael Jackson‘s mother Katherine Jackson dropped her elder abuse case against her nephew, Trent Jackson, hours before she was scheduled to appear in court last month.

The 87-year-old Jackson matriarch is currently residing in London, England with her daughter, Janet Jackson, and her infant grandson, Eissa Al Mana.

A judge in California refused Katherine’s attorney’s request to allow her appear via closed circuit television from Janet’s home in London. The judge ordered her to appear in person at a hearing last month or risk losing the case. So Katherine dropped the case.

Now Trent and his attorney are demanding she pay his legal costs out of the generous monthly allowance she receives from her late son Michael Jackson’s estate.

According to Trent’s attorney, Ron Rale, Katherine can afford to pay Trent’s legal fees because she gives away most of her $67,000 monthly allowance to her unemployed adult children Jermaine, 62, Maureen (Rebbie), 66, and La Toya, 60.

According to estate documents obtained by the NY Daily News, Katherine gives $12,000 a month to Jermaine, $7,000 a month to Rebbie, and $30,000 a month to La Toya.

Additionally, she pays over $9,000 a month for a leased Los Angeles home for several unemployed grandchildren (Jermaine’s kids).

Katherine dropped the case against Trent on April 25, the same day she was scheduled to appear in court. Her lawyer, Nelson Handy, said his client dropped the case because she wanted to “take a step back.”

In her initial complaint, Katherine requested a restraining order against Trent because she says he bullied her, invaded her privacy and stole money from her. She told the court she hid in a closet to talk to her children because she was afraid Trent would hear her.

Trent was hired by music icon Michael Jackson to take care of his ailing mother. Trent’s duties included driving her to the grocery store and running errands for her, as well as paying her bills from her monthly allowance.

Trent’s lawyer says other family members manipulated Katherine into making accusations of elder abuse against him, and since he is the “prevailing party,” she should pay.

Steve Harvey Memo To Staff Leaked: “Do Not Approach Me”

Steve Harvey seems like a pretty approachable guy, right?! Too bad he doesn’t want to be approached.

An old letter has been leaked from Harvey to his old staff in Chicago, listing some stern rules, specifically, pertaining to his personal space.

Blogger Robert Feder got his hands on Harvey’s letter, which HipHollywood can confirm is more than a year old. Feder released the memo in it’s entirety and here are some of the requests.

1. “Do not come to my dressing room unless invited.” 2. “Do not approach me while I’m in the makeup chair unless I ask to speak with you directly.” 3. “You must schedule an appointment.” 4. “I promise you I will not entertain you in the hallway, and do not attempt to walk with me.”

The note also suggested that these rules were so that he can seek “more free time for me throughout the day.”

Harvey has not responded to the leaked memo, but if we know Steve, he will be speaking out in no time.

The talk show host, by the way, is in the process of moving his daytime talk show from Chicago to Los Angeles.

Read the full letter below: 

Good morning, everyone. Welcome back.

I’d like you all to review and adhere to the following notes and rules for Season 5 of my talk show.

There will be no meetings in my dressing room. No stopping by or popping in. NO ONE.

Do not come to my dressing room unless invited.

Do not open my dressing room door. IF YOU OPEN MY DOOR, EXPECT TO BE REMOVED.

My security team will stop everyone from standing at my door who have the intent to see or speak to me.

I want all the ambushing to stop now. That includes TV staff.

You must schedule an appointment.

I have been taken advantage of by my lenient policy in the past. This ends now. NO MORE.

Do not approach me while I’m in the makeup chair unless I ask to speak with you directly. Either knock or use the doorbell.

I am seeking more free time for me throughout the day.

Do not wait in any hallway to speak to me. I hate being ambushed. Please make an appointment.

I promise you I will not entertain you in the hallway, and do not attempt to walk with me.

If you’re reading this, yes, I mean you.

Everyone, do not take offense to the new way of doing business. It is for the good of my personal life and enjoyment.

Thank you all,

Steve Harvey

Bow Wow Responds To Internet Mocking Fake Lifestyle: “This Is News?”

Bow Wow is shocked that his perceived counterfeit lifestyle is actually news.

Earlier this week, the rapper shared a snapshot of a private jet on Instagram and suggested he was hopping on a flight to NYC to promote his new We TV reality series Growing Up Hip Hop: Atlanta.

The Atlanta native, however, was later spotted on a commercial airline and was called out for lying.

#

“So this guy lil bow wow is on my flight to NY,” a passenger posted on social media. “But on Instagram he posted a picture of a private jet captioned ‘traveling to NY today’ smh.”

So of course, some brilliant Internet junkie created a challenge called the #BowWowChallenge, which calls for fans to post what looks like something lavish, but in hindsight, is not.

Shad Moss, the rapper’s legal name, got wind of the challenge and responded to it via Instagram live stories. “You don’t live my life. Everybody talking about the plane,” he said. “I didn’t know that was news. That ain’t news. What is there to talk about? I’ve been doing this shit for too long.”

He added, “The second they hate, but it take you a life time to make 500k my n*gga, talk to me.”

Sean Combs Tops Forbes List As World’s Richest Rapper

For the seventh year in a row, music mogul Sean Combs tops Forbes magazine’s list of the five richest rappers in the world.

The 47-year-old father-of-5 is worth an estimated $820 million, thanks to his investments and lucrative endorsement deals.

Combs added a TV network, liquor brands and a vitamin water brand to his expanding portfolio in recent years.

Rap mogul Jay Z follows closely behind Combs with an estimated net worth of $810 million. Jay Z, whose real name is Shawn Carter, 47, holds part ownership in streaming service Tidal, Roc Nation entertainment company, and Armand de Brignac champagne.

Dr. Dre takes the third spot with $740 million in estimate wealth, while Bryan ‘Birdman’ Williams comes in a distant fourth with $110 million.

Canadian rapper Drake rounds out the list in the fifth spot with an estimate $90 million personal wealth.

Funeral service held for ex-England defender Ugo Ehiogu

The funeral of former England defender Ugo Ehiogu has taken place in London.

The 44-year-old, Tottenham's Under-23s coach, died in hospital last month after collapsing at the club's training ground. He suffered a cardiac arrest.

England manager Gareth Southgate, who played with Ehiogu at Aston Villa and Middlesbrough, was among the mourners at St Michael's Church, Highgate, and gave a speech in tribute to his friend.

A fundraising page set up in Ehiogu's memory has raised more than £23,000.

Villa team-mate and best man at his wedding, Dwight Yorke, helped carry his coffin into the church, and said the service was an "amazing occasion".

Former England defender Ledley King and fellow former Spurs players Les Ferdinand and Tim Sherwood also attended, along with ex-Middlesbrough stars Paul Ince, George Boateng and Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink.

Villa stalwarts at the service included former managers Brian Little and Ron Atkinson, and ex-striker Dion Dublin.

Park to stay closed after Evha Jannath's death

A theme park where an 11-year-old girl died in a fall from a water ride will remain closed for a second day.

Evha Jannath fell from a boat on the Splash Canyon rapids attraction during a school trip to Drayton Manor Theme Park in Staffordshire on Tuesday.

Her family, from Leicester, want the ride to stay shut throughout the investigations and have asked for the immediate release of her body.

They said she was "a beautiful little girl who was full of love".

In a statement, thanking emergency services, the park said Tuesday's events had "shaken the whole Drayton Manor family, from the board, through to staff and visitors.

"The park will be closed on Thursday to allow the Health and Safety Executive to complete their work.

"Our thoughts are with the family and all those who have been affected by Tuesday's incident," it said.
