Tyrese and his estranged wife, Samantha Lee Gibson, were in court Monday for their divorce case, and the Baby Boy star reportedly is requesting legal custody of their 3-year-old daughter, Soraya.

The singer/actor is also asking that Samantha’s request for monthly spousal support be denied and that a prenuptial agreement be enforced, according to TMZ.

As previously reported, she is asking for $20,000 a month in child support, which Tyrese has called “unreasonably high.” Samantha also wants him to pay 100% of the child’s expenses, including medical bills, private school tuition and nanny salaries.

The couple married on Valentine’s Day in 2017. Samantha filed for divorce in September 2020, and claimed that Tyrese cut her off financially and locked her out of their house.

Samantha is Tyrese’s second wife. He was previously married to Norma Mitchell from 2007 to 2009. They have a 15-year-old daughter, Shayla.

A day after officially celebrating its 25th birthday, Netflix is giving its users some presents.

The streaming service has revealed its fall slate of films, and they run the gamut from the Oscar-winning WWI film All Quiet on the Western Front on October 28, to returning favorites like the sequel of Henry Cavill and Millie Bobby Brown‘s Enola Holmes on November 4, to Lindsay Lohan‘s return with Falling for Christmas on November 10.

Others include the true-crime documentary Capturing the Killer Nurse on November 11, and the family fantasy Slumberland starring Jason Momoa, which debuts November 18.

You can check out the full slate on the streamer’s fan site Tudum.

Speaking of Netflix’s birthday, the streaming service that began by mailing out DVDs released some factoids about its life. For example, the first movie to ever ship from Netflix to a customer was sent on March 10, 1998.

It was 1988’s Beetlejuice, for the record.

Also of note, the first recorded use of the phrase “Netflix and chill” was on January 21, 2009, in a tweet by a young woman named La Shanda Rene Foster.

Everything is more expensive nowadays, but on September 3, you’ll be able to go to the movies for just 3 bucks a ticket.

That’s because Saturday is National Cinema Day, and the nonprofit The Cinema Foundation is helping fans celebrate by having 3,000 theaters across the country slash prices to Reagan-era levels.

Basically every studio is participating, from Amazon Studios and Disney to Sony Pictures and Warner Bros., the organization promises.

“After this summer’s record-breaking return to cinemas, we wanted to do something to celebrate moviegoing,” said Cinema Foundation President Jackie Brenneman in a statement.

“We’re doing it by offering a ‘thank you’ to the moviegoers that made this summer happen, and by offering an extra enticement for those who haven’t made it back yet.”

And there’s really no catch. As the group touts, “Every movie, every format, every showtime” will see its tickets hit rock bottom, and fans will be able to catch up with both new movies and classics brought back just for the occasion.

Check out National Cinema Day’s website for more details.

Sylvester Stallone is denying that he tried to dissipate his assets before his wife of 25 years, Jennifer Flavin Stallone, filed for divorce.

In court documents from Palm Beach County, Florida, obtained by People, the 76-year-old Rocky star’s attorneys denied her accusations he was doing that, insisting he “has not engaged” in “the intentional dissipation, depletion and/or waste of marital assets.”

Sly apparently had no issues with some of his 54-year-old estranged wife’s other requests, but reportedly did object to her request to have “exclusive” use of their Palm Beach home.

Stallone also agreed to the model and entrepreneur’s dropping of his surname from hers, calling their marriage “irretrievably broken.”

And evidently his new dog had nothing to do with it. TMZ asked Sly about the rumor that a rottweiler called Dwight led to the bust-up: While he agreed she wasn’t happy with him buying the dog, Stallone explained, “We did not end the relationship on such a trivial argument.”

Further, he told the gossip site, “We just went in different directions,” adding, “I have the highest respect for Jennifer. I will always love her. She’s an amazing woman. She’s the nicest human being I’ve ever met.”

Following his infamous Oscar night slap at the hands of Will Smith, Chris Rock told the crowd during his show at the Arizona Financial Theatre in downtown Phoenix on Sunday night that he was asked to host next year’s award ceremony, but refused.

According to AZCentral, the 57-year-old comedian joked that returning to the Oscars would be like returning to the scene of a crime, referencing the murder trial of O.J. Simpson, whose ex-wife’s killing began with her leaving a pair of eyeglasses at an Italian restaurant.

Rock compared returning to the award ceremony to asking Nicole Brown Simpson “to go back to the restaurant.”

When Rock brought up the slap, wondering how a person could get famous for being a victim, someone in the crowd shouted, “Talk about it.”

The Saturday Night Live alum said the slap hurt him; in the past, he’d mentioned it took some time for his hearing to return to his left ear.

Noting that Smith had played the boxer Muhammad Ali in a movie, Rock quipped Sunday night, “He’s bigger than me. The state of Nevada would not sanction a fight between me and Will Smith.”

Season two of VH1’s My True Crime Story is in full swing and Remy Ma is back to narrate the intoxicating docuseries. 

This eight-episode batch tells the thrilling tales of ordinary people who got caught up in outrageous, unlawful crimes ranging from drug trafficking and steroid production to counterfeiting and jewelry theft. 

While Remy finds that there is something that piques her interest in each story, she tells ABC Audio the thing that keeps her coming back to host the series is that it gives people “the opportunity to tell their story.”

“We’re giving people a chance to tell their story, What happened from their perspective, what happened before we even got to the happening. What was your life like? How did you grow up?” she explains. “And also where are you now, though, after all of that?”

“I love all of those little twists and turns that we’re able to take,” the rapper adds. 

Not only does My True Crime Story allow people to share their lives, they’re able to do so from a first-person perspective, which Remy says “matters a lot.”

“You know, it’s one thing if you’re hearing about it from a media outlet or you’re hearing about it from somebody who was there or from somebody who heard the story,” she says. “You’re hearing about this from the person who actually went through it.”

Season two of VH1’s My True Crime Story airs Mondays at 10 p.m. ET.

Another original Roseanne star is leaving the ABC spin-off The Conners.

Although the network is remaining mum, TVLine reports Michael Fishman, who played DJ, the youngest child of Dan and Roseanne since the original show’s creation, won’t be back for the series’ fifth season.

With his exit comes the news that Jayden Rey, who played DJ’s daughter, Mary, won’t be back either.

The parting of the ways appears to be amicable, according to the publication, which pointed out DJ was missing from more than half of the spin-off’s 71 episodes, as the actor started working behind the camera as a director.

TVLine reports that the door is open for both stars to periodically return as guest stars.

Of course the original show’s main star, Roseanne Barr, was fired from the hit reboot in 2017 after sending a racially insensitive tweet; the series was rebranded and her character was killed off off-screen.

Days after she announced she was leaving HBO’s Euphoria, Barbie Ferreira has signed onto Oscar winner Ariana DeBose‘s psychological thriller House of Spoils.

The Prime Video-bound project is being produced by the horror experts at Blumhouse.

Written and directed by Bridget Savage Cole and Danielle Krudy — the people behind the Amazon hit Blow The Man Down, House of Spoils — will have DeBose playing an ambitious chef who opens her first restaurant on a remote estate.

And while the restaurant business is notoriously tough, her character has it worse: “[S]he battles kitchen chaos, a dubious investor, crushing self doubts … and the powerful spirit of the estate’s previous owner who threatens to sabotage her at every turn.”

Production on the “tense, psychological and sensuous thriller” gets underway this fall.
