Controversial S#!T

Charlie Wilson says fans recording with their phones at his concerts are A-OK in his book, but he completely understands why Busta Rhymes is drawing a hard line on the topic.

We spoke to the R&B/Funk legend Monday at LAX, fresh off his own performance at the 2024 ESSENCE Festival of Culture in NOLA -- the same place Busta had his latest outburst.

Busta was one of the festival openers and the crowd was still filling in as he and Spliff Starr revved things up.

Meagan Good is doing good -- in fact, she's never been happier dating Jonathan Majors, despite every friend telling her to steer clear because of his legal troubles.

Speaking on "Today With Hoda and Jenna," Meagan made it clear people can advise her all they want, but at the end of the day, she marches to the beat of her own drum -- insisting she feels a lot of peace in her heart with any decision she makes, and that includes dating JM.

She brings God into it, saying she'll have to answer to him one day ... so she wants to be responsible for all the decisions she makes.

This gives new meaning to "Bottoms Up!!!"

A man in Waycross, GA decided to buy a woman a drink at Rodeo Mexican Restaurant, but his orifice of choice was not her mouth.

The dude somehow got his hands on a funnel and tried his hardest to pour the drink down her butt. The funnel gets 86'd and he pours a pitcher of margarita right in between the crack.

President Joe Biden said the only one who could change his mind on running for re-election is The Lord Almighty ... well multiple Lords Almighty have spoken ... with the help of Jon Stewart, and the news isn't good.

"The Daily Show" host hilariously spoofed Biden's Biblical challenge with Gods of all shapes and sizes. There's the traditional God with the white beard, then there's Jesus, then Black Jesus and the most hilarious ... Ozempic Buddha!

They're message is pretty clear -- quoting from their New York Times Best Seller, The Bible -- "To everything there is a season ... turn, turn, turn."

Zach Wilson isn't the only one getting engaged this month ... his ex, Abbey Gile, also has wedding bells in her future -- after getting proposed to by Wilson's college roommate.

Gile -- who dated the Denver Broncos quarterback from high school until 2022 -- was seen rockin' a massive diamond ring on her finger after Dax Milne, a Washington Commander receiver, proposed on the beach.

"She said YES❤️💍," the 25-year-old said in an Instagram post on Monday.

Alec Baldwin just got a huge part of the prosecution's case thrown out ... a day before his manslaughter trial kicks off.

The judge ruled prosecutors cannot introduce evidence of Baldwin's role as a producer in the film ... something that was a critical part of the State's argument that Baldwin's alleged recklessness led to the death of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins.

Baldwin was an Executive Producer on the film, but there were other EPs as well who had much more of a hands-on role.

Bhad Bhabie has got everyone worried ... posting some disturbing IG stories showing her ex-BF, Le Vaughn, physically attacking her.

The rapper, AKA Danielle Bregoli, shared the shocking footage Sunday. The video, timestamped from June 30, shows Le -- also the father of her baby daughter -- pushing her to the ground and pressing his knee against her back.

BB also posted pics showing herself with swollen black eyes and facial bruises -- from the alleged assault. The vids and photos have since been deleted from her IG account.

Ice Spice isn't here for fans disrespecting her BFF Taylor Swift -- no matter where she is, or what she's doing!!!

That was the case for the "Barbie World" rapper when she was met with fans who weren't thrilled with her decision to play her TS collab "Karma" during her performance Sunday in Austria for the Rolling Loud Europe festival.

Ice closed her set with the sound of Taylor singing on "Karma" but fans rejected the vibes with thumbs-down gestures in unison!!! 👎🏻

Talk about an unreal beauty! The world's first Miss AI competition just found its first queen ... and a hijab-wearing activist from Morocco is rocking the crown.

Lifestyle influencer Kenza Layli -- formed with beauty, brains, and AI magic -- explained in a clip despite not feeling emotions like an actual human, she was genuinely pumped to top the AI charts -- beating roughly 1,500 computer-modified beauties for the title.

Kenza walks away with a $20,000 grand prize... which, of course, will actually go straight into the hands of her creator -- a tech exec from Morrocco.

Joe Biden's standing firm -- he's fully committed to the race and is determined to beat Donald Trump in the 2024 Presidential Election.

In a lengthy letter to Congressional Democrats Monday, the Prez didn't touch on his disastrous debate or any concerns about his age or cognitive health. Instead, he hammered Trump while making it clear he's the right person for the job for the second time.

In the letter, Biden laid out how his policies could make a positive difference for the country, especially when compared to Trump's potential mess-ups -- urging folks to get out there and vote, and of course, to vote for him.

Congressman Adam Schiff -- a prominent Democrat has added his voice to the growing number questioning Joe Biden's mental fitness.

The California congressman -- who's currently running for Senate -- stopped by "Meet the Press" Sunday morning to discuss the presidential race ...and, take a listen to his comments 'cause he's not sounding super confident in the sitting prez.

AS says Biden's debate performance has Americans wondering if he's up to the task of beating Donald Trump ... and, he says if it was just based on their past records, Biden would crush DJT.

Nicki Minaj's show won't go on in Romania ... 'cause she just pulled the plug on her concert in Bucharest -- saying her security detail tells her it's not safe.

The singer-songwriter announced the news less than an hour ago on her X account ... letting her millions of followers know she won't hit the stage in Eastern Europe -- 'cause her team says protests in the area could explode into violence.

NM says she's a mom first ... and, she needs to think about her safety for her son and the other team members traveling with her -- so, she just can't take the risk.

Joe Biden made several confusing statements in a recent radio interview ... and, it may be even worse than Dems originally thought -- 'cause the interviewer says he knew the questions in advance.

Andrea Lawful-Sanders -- a radio host of "The Source" on WURD -- stopped by CNN for an interview Saturday morning after speaking with Biden earlier this weekend ... an interview that's gone viral due to the prez's jumbled answers.

If you haven't seen the interview ... Biden mixes up his words on several occasions -- at one point accidentally calling himself the "first Black woman to serve with a Black president." Disconcerting for Democrats who are still reeling from his poor debate showing last week.

Minnie Driver's all for locking up former President Donald Trump ... saying the Republican candidate deserves prison time -- and saying his supporters like "racism."

The actress sat down for an interview with The Times of London -- published Saturday -- and dove into the United States' politics ... 'cause the British star used to live in L.A. but recently headed back across the pond.

MD starts by saying Cali's a fine place for a liberal like her ... but adds it's insulated -- and, at times she felt she needed to go to a Republican-dominated state to fight for the important issues

Emma Roberts is doubling down on how nepo baby status ain't all it's cracked up to be ... claiming once again it's lost her jobs -- but never helped her land one.

The actress sat down for an interview with the magazine Flaunt that dropped earlier this week, and she reflected on being a nepo baby ... totally laughing off the idea she's getting help with her career from her dad Eric or aunt Julia Roberts.

ER says, "I’ve lost more jobs than I’ve gained from being in the business. People have opinions and sometimes maybe they’re not good opinions of people in your family. I’ve never gotten a job because of it, I know I definitely have lost a couple of jobs because of it."

Justin Timberlake isn't letting his drunk driving arrest get in the way of his business aspirations ... He's reportedly opening a new saloon in Scotland with Tiger Woods!

According to Billboard ... Justin and Tiger – who's also had a past DUI arrest – are partnering to turn the New Picture House Cinema into a T-Squared Social sports bar in the historic Scottish town of St. Andrews.

The singer/actor and the golf great first opened T-Squared in New York City – and it was so popular the pair decided to expand the operation overseas to Scotland.
