Tupac's Alleged Killer Too Dangerous to Free Pre-Trial ... Prosecutors Want No Bail

The state of Nevada is pushing back on Duane "Keefe D" Davis' request to be let out of jail ahead of the trial ... because they insist Tupac Shakur's alleged killer is just too dangerous.
For those unaware, Keefe D's lawyers asked a judge last week to release him from custody on his own recognizance before his trial, which is currently set to start in June ... and if the court wouldn't allow it, asking instead to set his bail no higher than $100k.
According to new docs, obtained by TMZ, prosecutors say Keefe D's request is absurd, and they provide several reasons why he shouldn't get to walk free until his trial. For instance, they claim he's a former high-ranking member of the South Side Compton Crips, and has confessed multiple times to involvement in the Tupac murder over the years.
Prosecutors also claim Keefe's made credible threats to witnesses while being locked up.
They also continue to claim they have mountains of evidence -- including Keefe D's own words -- pointing to Keefe orchestrating Tupac's murder back in 1996 ... despite Keefe now distancing himself from those previous statements.
The state's asking the court to keep him behind bars until his trial date ... and believes there are more than enough reasons to do so.
As we reported, Keefe D pled not guilty last month for the murder charge he's currently facing ... after appearing in court 2 times before with his attorney apparently being a no-show.

Pete Davidson resurfaced for the first time since mysteriously pulling the plug on a bunch of his comedy shows ... he's out in public with GF Madelyn Cline by his side.
TMZ obtained video of the couple at Bobo's Café in Somers, NYC, on Thursday ... where the ex-SNL star and "Outer Banks" actress were seen perusing the menu and ordering drinks.
We're told Pete's a regular at the place -- and on this occasion, he ordered an iced matcha latte before smoking a cigarette outside while waiting for his drink.
Things are evidently going strong between Pete and Madelyn ... they began dating in September, though given the comic's track record of short-lived flings with famous women, only time will tell how long their romance lasts. This is the first time they have been spotted together since an SNL after-party in October.
Pete and Madelyn's low-key outing comes after Pete canceled a string of shows from Dec. 26 to Jan. 4 due to "unforeseen circumstances" ... with disappointed fans being promised refunds ASAP.
Pete's remained mum on the situation ... and it looks like he's making the most of his newly cleared schedule to prioritize some quality time with Madelyn.

Desestiman las acusaciones de abuso de la ex mujer de Jessey Lee

La estrella de "Bling Empire" Jessey Lee acaba de anotarse una gran victoria legal sobre su ex esposa. Ella lo acusó de abusar de ella y sus hijos, pero la solicitud de una orden de restricción ha sido desestimada.
De acuerdo con nuevos documentos legales obtenidos por TMZ, la solicitud de Crystal Hoang Lee de una orden de restricción contra Jessey ha sido desestimada.
TMZ publicó la historia, la ex esposa de Jessey presentó una orden judicial de protección contra él a principios de este mes, entregando impactantes acusaciones de violencia contra él.
Crystal, que una vez estuvo casada con Jessey y tiene dos hijos con él, afirmó que golpeó a uno de sus hijos porque el niño no se iba a dormir. También le acusó de haberle provocado un aborto involuntario, pero sus documentos no entraban en más detalles sobre esa acusación. Al final, el juez desestimó todas las acusaciones por falta de pruebas.
En su solicitud de orden de alejamiento, Crystal también acusó a Jessey de golpearla, de abandonar a su familia para irse a jugar y de desarraigar a los niños. Debemos mencionar que un juez de Texas ya le había concedido la custodia temporal completa a Jessy antes de que Crystal solicitara la TRO.
El juez denegó la solicitud de Crystal de una orden de restricción temporal y fijó una audiencia para la semana pasada y ahora el juez la ha desestimado por completo.
El abogado de Jessey James Daily le dice a TMZ: "Es profundamente preocupante ser testigo de cómo los medios de comunicación pueden ser influenciados por afirmaciones sensacionalistas, especialmente a la luz de la abrumadora evidencia en contra de Crystal Lee. Declarada culpable de 73 cargos de desacato, sus acciones no solo trataron de difamar injustamente el carácter de Jessy Lee, sino que también despreciaron descaradamente el bienestar de sus hijos. Jessy, conocido por su naturaleza amable y cariñosa, ha sido víctima de una difamación maliciosa, un intento de ensombrecer su verdadera identidad como padre devoto y respetado hombre de negocios".
'BLING EMPIRE' STAR JESSEY LEE EX-WIFE DENIED FRAUDULENT D.V. RESTRAINING ORDER

"Bling Empire" star Jessey Lee just scored a huge legal victory over his ex-wife... she accused him of abusing her and their kids, but her request for a restraining has been tossed.
According to new legal docs, obtained by TMZ, Crystal Hoang Lee's request for a restraining order against Jessey has been dismissed.
TMZ broke the story ... Jessey's ex-wife filed for court-ordered protection from him earlier this month, leveling shocking allegations of violence against him.
Crystal, who was once married to Jessey and has 2 children with him, claimed he hit one of their kids because the child wouldn't go to sleep. She also accused him of causing her to suffer a miscarriage, but her docs didn't go into further detail on that allegation. In the end, the judge dismissed all allegations for lack of evidence.
In her restraining order request, Crystal also accused Jessey of hitting her, leaving their family to go off and gamble, and uprooting the kids. We should mention, a Texas judge had already awarded temporary full custody to Jessy before Crystal even filed for the TRO.
The judge denied Crystal's request for a TRO and set a hearing for last week ... and now the judge has dismissed it altogether.
Jessey's attorney James Daily tells TMZ ... "It’s deeply concerning to witness how the media can be swayed by sensationalist claims, especially in light of the overwhelming evidence against Crystal Lee. Found guilty on 73 counts of contempt, her actions not only sought to unfairly malign Jessy Lee’s character but also blatantly disregarded the well-being of their children. Jessy, known for his gentle and loving nature, has been a victim of malicious defamation, an attempt to overshadow his true identity as a devoted father and respected businessman."

Denver Broncos Trade For Russell Wilson Is 'Worst Of All Time' ... Ex-NFL GM Says

No deal in the history of the NFL has been more awful than the one the Broncos made to get Russell Wilson ... at least, that's according to ex-NFL general manager Michael Lombardi, who tells TMZ Sports Denver's trade for the QB "is going to go down as the all-time worst."
The former Cleveland Browns decision-maker didn't mince words when discussing Wilson's benching with us this week ... explaining he believes the Broncos' 2022 swap with the Seahawks will now go down as a historic blunder.
"When you add the contract and the trade," Lombardi said, "it's the worst of all time."
The Broncos gave up a bevy of picks -- including a first-rounder and a second-rounder -- plus three other players in the move to acquire Russ before the '22 season. They then signed the 35-year-old to a massive $245 MILLION contract extension.
Russell Wilson Benched In Denver
But, Russ played terribly in 2022 ... and wasn't all that much better in 2023 -- which forced Sean Payton to sideline him this week for Jarrett Stidham.
The head coach's decision likely signals the end of Wilson's Denver tenure -- and with it all but over, Lombardi's ready to dub it the most disastrous NFL deal ever.
Lombardi said prior to the Broncos' move, there had been other historically bad ones -- including the Vikings' infamous 1989 trade with the Cowboys for Herschel Walker -- but he said "none of those trades had contracts attached to them that impact the salary cap in future years."
"Russell will move from Denver," Lombardi said. "But his cap problems will remain for two more years."
There is at least good news for Wilson on the horizon, according to Lombardi ... the former NFL exec says the QB should have a market if/when the Broncos officially cut him.

Childish Gambino fans might not have to wait much longer for new tracks, despite no album in over 3 years ... 'cause Donald Glover tells us new music is on the horizon.
We got Donald -- or, as he's known in the music world, Childish Gambino -- leaving the Greenwich Hotel in New York, and we asked him about his different methods for laying out genre styles in his albums ... but that's not the kicker here.
On his way into his ride, we asked what's next for him ... and with a bit of a smirk, he tells us he's been working pretty hard in the studio -- and the album is coming "soon."
Fans obviously have reason to rejoice here ... especially because Childish Gambino's last album, "3.15.20," dropped in March 2020 ... still, the guy hasn't been totally radio silent since then, to be fair.
He and KIRBY cranked out an EP earlier this year for his show, "Swarm," which he created along with Janine Nabers ... and last year his other show, "Atlanta," wrapped its final season.
Looks like music is Donald's latest venture yet again ... hopefully he doesn't leave fans hanging for too long!

Puede que los fans de Childish Gambino no tengan que esperar mucho más tiempo para escuchar nuevas pistas del artista. Esto, a pesar de que no ha sacado un álbum en más de 3 años porque Donald Glover nos dice que la nueva música está en el horizonte.
Conversamos con Donald - o, como se lo conoce en el mundo de la música, Childish Gambino- mientras dejaba el Hotel Greenwich en Nueva York y le preguntamos sobre sus diferentes métodos para mezclar estilos en sus álbumes, pero eso no era lo importante aquí.
Mientras paseaba, le preguntamos qué es lo que se viene para él y con una especie de sonrisa de satisfacción nos dijo que ha estado trabajando muy duro en el estudio y que el álbum se viene "pronto".
Los fans obviamente tienen motivos para alegrarse, sobre todo porque el último álbum de Childish Gambino, "3.15.20", salió en marzo de 2020. Para ser justos, el chico no ha estado totalmente silencioso desde entonces.
Él y KIRBY sacaron un EP a principios de este año para su programa "Swarm", el que creó junto a Janine Nabers y el año pasado su otro programa "Atlanta", terminó su última temporada.
Parece que la música es la última aventura de Donald una vez más, ¡esperemos que no deje a sus fans colgados durante mucho tiempo!
Imagine Dragons Ayuda a reconstruir la casa de un chico ucraniano Que aparece en uno de sus videos musicales

Imagine Dragons está ayudando a la familia de un chico ucraniano de 15 años a reconstruir su casa, después de que el lugar fuera destruido por la guerra aún en curso en su país.
Sashko es el adolescente de Ucrania que aparece en el video musical de la canción "Crushed". El video y la canción se convirtieron en un gran éxito en gran parte debido a la historia de Sashko, que lo perdió todo a manos de las fuerzas rusas.
El hogar del niño fue completamente destruido durante la primavera de 2022. Poco después, el director de fotografía de Imagine Dragons, Ty Arnold, conoció a Sashko durante un viaje a Ucrania, se sintió conmovido por su historia y quiso dar a conocer al mundo los horrores que estaba enfrentando.
El video musical provocó donaciones masivas a UNITED24, una plataforma lanzada por el Presidente Zelensky para recoger donaciones para los ucranianos, con la que Imagine Dragons se asoció.
UNITED24 utilizó los fondos para pagar toda la restauración de la casa de Sashko y nos dicen que Ty entregó las llaves de la casa la semana pasada a Sashko y su madre.
Hay mucho más por reconstruir en Ucrania, pero este es un buen comienzo.

Imagine Dragons is helping a 15-year-old Ukrainian boy's family get their home back together .... after the place was destroyed during the ongoing war in his country.
Sashko is the teenager from Ukraine who was featured in the music video for the band's song, "Crushed" ... the video and song became a huge hit in large part due to Sashko's story about losing everything at the hands of Russian forces.
The boy's home was completely obliterated in 2022. Shortly after the Imagine Dragons' Director of Photography Ty Arnold met Sashko during a trip to Ukraine and was moved by Sashko's story ... and wanted to let the world know about the horrors Sashko faced.
The music video sparked massive donations to UNITED24 -- a platform launched by President Zelensky to collect donations for Ukrainian's -- because Imagine Dragons teamed up with the organization.
Thanks to the Imagine Dragons video, UNITED24 found a private donor to rebuild Sashko's house.
UNITED24 used the funds to pay for the entire restoration of Sashko's house ... and we're told Ty handed over the keys to the rebuilt home last week to Sashko and his mother.
There's a lot more rebuilding needed in Ukraine, but this is a good start.

Dwayne Johnson sigue diciendo que es la primera vez que prueba In-N-Out pero se equivoca

Dwayne Johnson NO es el virgen de In-N-Out Burger que dice ser.
"The Rock" publicó un divertido video a principios de esta semana afirmando que estaba probando In-N-Out Burger por primera vez. El clip generó mucha atención y resultó ser buena publicidad para la cadena.
Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.
Mientras disfrutamos de la producción de Dwayne y su entusiasmo por las hamburguesas In-N-Out, las patatas fritas, el proceso de drive-thru sin problemas y sus amables empleados, nos dimos cuenta de que ha hecho esto mismo antes.
De hecho, esta es la TERCERA vez que Dwayne menciona ir a In-N-Out por primera vez.
Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.
Curiosamente, Dwayne publicó un video en Instagram en agosto de 2022 documentando una comida de In-N-Out Double-Doubles, patatas fritas y su propia marca de tequila.
Por supuesto, Dwayne mezcló tequilas reposado y blanco en el mismo vaso para lavar su In-N-Out el año pasado, así que tal vez se olvidó de todo el asunto.
Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.
Pero luego está el hecho de que The Rock también publicó sobre su "primera" experiencia en In-N-Out en 2017, esa vez fue solo una selfie con un par de empleados de In-N-Out en la ventanilla de autoservicio.
En su publicación de febrero de 2017, Dwayne añadió un largo pie de foto explicando que su esposa y su hija querían In-N-Out. También prometió "destruir múltiples hamburguesas" si su película "Moana" ganaba un Oscar unos días después... bueno, la película no lo consiguió.
Así que Dwayne ha estado en In-N-Out y ha probado la comida antes de afirmar esta semana que estaba teniendo su "primera experiencia" en la popular cadena.
Anthony Bourdain dijo una vez que conseguiría más likes en las publicaciones de IG sobre In-N-Out que en las fotos con grandes celebridades y parece que Dwayne también quiere algo de eso.
Todo eso está muy bien, pero recuerden amigos, no hay que mentir para triunfar.

Dwayne Johnson is NOT the In-N-Out Burger virgin he claims to be.
"The Rock" posted a fun video earlier this week claiming he was trying In-N-Out Burger for the first time ... leading to a lot of attention, headlines and pats on the back.
Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.
While we enjoyed Dwayne's production and his zest for In-N-Out hamburgers, fries, the smooth drive-thru process and their friendly employees ... we noticed he's done this same thing before.
In fact, this is the THIRD time Dwayne's mentioned going to In-N-Out for the first time.
Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.
Funnily enough, Dwayne posted a video on Instagram in August 2022 documenting a cheat meal of In-N-Out Double-Doubles, fries and his own brand of tequila.
Of course, Dwayne mixed reposado and blanco tequilas in the same glass to wash down his In-N-Out last year ... so maybe he forgot about the whole thing.
Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.
But then there's the fact The Rock also posted about his "first" In-N-Out experience back in 2017 ... that time it was just a selfie with a couple In-N-Out employees at the drive-thru window.
In his February 2017 post, Dwayne added a long caption explaining his wife and daughter wanted In-N-Out. He also promised to "destroy multiple burgers" should his "Moana" movie win an Oscar a few days later ... well, the movie came up empty.
So, Dwayne's at least been to In-N-Out and tried the food before claiming this week he was having his "first ever" experience at the popular chain.
Anthony Bourdain once said he would get more likes on IG posts about In-N-Out than pics with huge celebs ... and it seems Dwayne's wanting some of that engagement too.
That's all well and good, but remember folks ... you don't have to lie to kick it.

Remember ... BH recently went nutty over Mobb Deep's "Get Away" instrumental, rhyming "bang" with every other word -- and he tells us the term is simply a macho expression that no longer motivates beef between Crips or Bloods ... at least in his eyes.
Bang on your job, bang on the schoolbooks, bang bang like Pops from "Boomerang" ... whatever you choose, do it to standard is Big Hit's motto here.
BH wasted no time dropping his debut "The Truth Is In My Eyes" -- where he managed to snag a Snoop Dogg feature -- and some friendly advice on how to stay jail-free.
The OG was released from prison this summer after serving a 9-year bid for gun possession, but he's scoffing at the folks who are telling him he's too old for this behavior.
Sounds like Big Hit is going to rep his section at all costs and bang on TMZ while he's at it!!!
