Fast-forward to Friday morning, after performing at Aftershock Festival in Sacramento Thursday night, we're told Travis got up at 4:30 AM in the pouring rain to meet the Pine Grove guys at their jail facility to train with them on-site. It was all about motivation, discipline, and mutual respect.

In a statement, Cassie's attorney Doug Wigdor said, "While nothing can undo the trauma caused by Combs, the sentence imposed today recognizes the impact of the serious offenses he committed."

He continued, "We are confident that with the support of her family and friends, Ms. Ventura will continue healing knowing that her bravery and fortitude have been an inspiration to so many."

Sean Combs will call prison home for more than 2 years, and he has a target on his back for sexual and other violent assaults ... this according to his longtime lawyer.

Mark Geragos told Harvey on the "2 Angry Men" podcast ... Diddy faces the same fears sexual predators deal with but worse, because of his celebrity status.

Diddy already got a taste of possible violence behind bars ... his team revealed Friday someone already planned to shank him in jail.

Taylor Swift not only dropped the album of the year on Friday, AMC Theatres also released the surprise cinematic experience "Taylor Swift | The Official Release Party of a Showgirl" ... and let’s just say the Swifties not only showed up, but made cinematic history!!!

AMC Theatres Distribution tells TMZ ... the release of 'TLOAS' album debut cinematic experience is the "biggest album debut event in cinema history" -- just from opening day domestic sales alone.

With no Thursday previews, no morning shows, and a start time of 3 PM ET, most films would have struggled to build momentum -- however, Taylor pulled in a jaw-dropping $15.8 million on opening day ... and we're told as of Saturday morning, the domestic weekend box office forecast remains $25-30 million.

A man who says he was one of Diddy's former interns claims he contracted HIV after being drugged and sexually assaulted at an after-party hosted by the music mogul … and it’s all laid out in a new lawsuit.

The man, who is suing as "John Doe," filed the suit against Diddy in Los Angeles Superior Court Friday, says he was pursuing an entertainment career in late 2014.

Doe says he would intern in the music industry back in the day and, when an opportunity to work with Diddy came around, he jumped at the chance.

"The Real Housewives of Orange County" alum tied the knot with boyfriend-turned-fiancé John Janssen in a romantic ceremony in Laguna Beach, CA, on Friday.

We finally know how much time Diddy will spend behind bars after his transportation for prostitution convictions ... and a sex worker and exotic dancer involved with the case are weighing in on the conclusion.

As you know ... Judge Arun Subramanian ordered Diddy to serve a little over 4 years in a federal prison ... but he's already spent over a year in jail and will get credit for time served.

Sharay Hayes -- the exotic male dancer nicknamed "The Punisher" who testified during Diddy's trial, tells TMZ ... at first, he thought Diddy should've been freed today for time served -- but after hearing the judge's reasoning for several more years behind bars ... Sharay says he concurs.

Diddy sexually assaulted a woman in a night club as she was celebrating her 20th birthday ... shoving his hand up her skirt and forcefully penetrating her with his fingers ... at least according to a new lawsuit.

The Bad Boy Records founder was just hit with a new lawsuit filed by his legal nemesis, Houston attorney Tony Buzbee.

According to the suit, obtained by TMZ, a woman named Leiana Ripley says Diddy approached her at Club Playhouse in Los Angeles around November 1, 2016 and demanded she drink a beverage he offered her.

Diddy has finally received his sentence ... Judge Arun Subramanian has ordered him to serve a little over 4 years in a federal prison.

The sentence came down Friday and it is longer than what Diddy wanted ... remember, his legal team asked the judge for a 14-month sentence while prosecutors wanted him to serve 11 years behind bars. He was ultimately given 50 months.

Arthur Jones had plenty of ups and downs throughout his career in the NFL, which lasted for nearly a decade.

The older brother of professional martial artist Jon Jones hopped between teams and even earned himself a Super Bowl ring prior to his death at the age of 39.

We're going to take a look into the background of the late football player and see what he accomplished throughout his sports career.

Arthur first began gaining attention for his athletic skills back in high school, where he played football and was a member of Union-Endicott High School's wrestling team.

He started attending Syracuse University in 2005 -- although he didn't play any games during his freshman year of college, according to the school's official sports website.

Arthur more than made up for the missed opportunities during his second year, when he became one of 40 players to have participated in every game in the 2006 season.

The athlete remained with the Syracuse Orange until 2009, when he finished out his final year with the team.

Arthur kicked off his career in the NFL in 2010, when he was drafted by the Baltimore Ravens as a defensive end.

The athlete, whose younger brother Chandler also played in the league, remained with the Ravens until 2013, when he helped lead them to victory at Super Bowl XLVII.

Arthur didn't remain with the Ravens after the big game, though, as he signed a five-year contract with the Indianapolis Colts in 2014. He ended up being released from his contract after sitting out for the entirety of the 2015 season, after which he received a four-game suspension in 2016 following a positive test for performance-enhancing drugs, reports ESPN.

He signed with the Washington Commanders in 2017, although he was quickly placed on injured reserve.

Arthur stepped away from professional sports in 2018, when he announced his retirement from the NFL.

The professional athlete's death was revealed seven years later, and a cause hasn't been revealed as of yet.

The Ravens released an official statement regarding his death, and the organization's general manager, Eric DeCosta, claimed the team was "terribly saddened" about his loss.
