While actor and singer, Jussie Smollett, is in Hawaii having a grand ole time, lawmakers in Chicago are busy filing legal docs.

Rapper Kodak Black is really unappologetic when it comes to actress Lauren London following the tragic death of her boyfriend, Nipsey Hustle in Los Angeles, California by making an "insensitive comment" that didn't sit well with many social media users.

Rapper Kodak Black, who is currently on tour, have been reportedly slapped with rape charges in South Carolina after he allegedly sexually assaulted a high school-aged girl after a concert in Florence back in 2016.

According to GossipOnThis: South Carolina prosecutors are giving the "ZEZE" rapper until summer or fall to return to the state to answer to a criminal first-degree sexual conduct charge.

“I’m hoping to get it up for disposition by then,” 12th Circuit Solicity Ed Clements said Thursday (Apr. 4) after announcing that the trial that was tentatively scheduled for April was pushed back to the summer or fall.

The State reports that he committed the crime in a hotel room after performing at a concert in Florence, Clements. An arrest warrant accuses the 21-year-old rapper of committing the sexual assault in February 2016.

Kodak Black, who was born named Dieuson Octave, was arrested on the sexual assault charge in November 2016, WMBF reported.

According to the arrest warrant, Kodak Black forced the girl onto the bed, then the floor where he committed sexual battery, although she “repeatedly told the defendant no and to stop. The defendant did not stop.” He also bit the girl on the “neck and her right breast,” injuries that were documented in a rape kit, the arrest warrant said.

The hip hop star was released on a $100,000 bond, WPDE reported. After he was released, Kodak Black agreed to be swabbed and the prosecutor’s office has his DNA, Clements told The State.

“We are slowly but steadily moving toward a disposition,” said Clements, who told The State the rapper could face a maximum sentence of 30 years in prison if convicted, but there are several lesser sentences he could face related to the same criminal sexual conduct charge. “I want to do justice for the victim, whatever that takes.”

Attorneys Beattie Ashmore and Robert E. Lee are representing the rapper, who has been “arrested four times in Florida,” the Florence Morning News reported.

They are, without doubt, a happy couple! Britney's boyfriend, Sam Asghari, is sticking by her side. Checkout the deets below.....

According to E! News: [Yesterday], it was reported that the singer checked into a mental health treatment facility as she continues to cope with her father Jamie Spears' recent health scare. Spears broke a months-long social media hiatus and wrote on Instagram on Wednesday, "Fall in love with taking care of yourself. Mind. Body. Spirit."

So far, the 37-year-old singer has received tons of support from friends and family, including her millions of fans.

And despite everything that Spears has been going through for the past few months, a source tells E! News that Asghari has been an important piece of support for her. The insider added that the two  "are very much still together."

"Sam has stuck by her side throughout all of her recent struggles and knows that this is just a phase in Britney's life that they will have to adjust to right now," the source explained. The source also told us that Asghari has been "very helpful in making sure Britney did whatever she needed to feel better." That included him checking in on her and being "by her side."

The 25-year-old praised his girlfriend on social media after news broke that she was seeking treatment.

For whatsoever reason in the world, Tiger Woods is now trending on social media for a wrong reason. This is an epitome of sadness at its peak for the 41-year-old tennis champ.

Woods have had series of seasons of bad outings in recent times and this time the winner of 14 major championships who broke records with stunning regularity has been arrested close to his home in Jupiter Island at 3 a.m., on Monday.

But hours after his release from a jail near his Florida home, Woods issued a statement saying “alcohol was not involved.”

In the statement, released through his publicist, Woods blamed his arrest on prescription drugs.

“What happened was an unexpected reaction to prescribed medications,” Woods said in the statement. “I didn’t realize the mix of medications had affected me so strongly.” , but Mark Steinberg, Woods’s frequent agent, would not say whether the mix of medications Woods cited was related to his back problems.

Although his arrest was based on suspicion of DUI and booked into the Palm Beach County Jail that morning, according to police records. In his statement in the early hours of that same day, woods said; “I understand the severity of what I did and I take full responsibility for my actions,” but “I want the public to know that alcohol was not involved.

“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.”

The arrest continues a long period in Woods’s career in which the news he makes comes off the golf course. The episode of woods downturns is one of the most epic falls from grace in sporting history.

Also, Woods was release from police custody around 10:50 a.m, later that day. There has been no details as to where he was going or coming from, nor the level of substances in his system.

But according to ESPN:

Woods told police he was taking several prescriptions, including two painkillers. Police said Woods was "cooperative as much as possible" and that he agreed to take a breath test and a urine test. He blew a 0.00 in the breath test.

DID YOU KNOW? Woods and his ex-wife, Elin, had their divorce confirmed not so long. A golfer who had burst on to the scene as a fresh-faced and brilliant teenager, to the point where he had endorsement deals worth tens of millions, found himself shunned by some of his commercial partners amid serious damage to his reputation.

Woods stood before an audience and issued a public apology for the actions which cost him his marriage and led to a two-month spell in a sex addiction clinic. His career was to suffer, partly on account of this personal turmoil but also a series of injuries. 

She's no longer trapped in the closet!

R&B singer R. Kelly has been reportedly slapped with a lawsuit for giving deputy sheriff, Kenny Bryant, wife chlamydia.

Actor and comedian Bill Cosby is reportedly preparing himself to revive his career after his widely-publicized trial is over.

Roc-A-Fella logo designer, Dwayne Walker, is taking Mrs. Carter to court over misuse of his logo in her hit 'Drunk in Love' video.

Tmz reports that Walker, who owns the rights to Jay Z’s Roc-A-Fella Records logo, has filed a lawsuit against Beyonce for using the iconic symbol without his permission. He stressed in the court docs, "being that she's Jay-Z wife isn't a pass to use the logo."


Walker also states that his work is prominently displayed in the music clip, but the only place you see it is on Jay Z’s chain, guess for him that’s plenty.

Although, Jay-Z isn’t named in this particular lawsuit, Walker had reportedly lost a separate $7 million lawsuit against the rapper back in September, and now he's trying to shake Hov's wife down for a few million.

Rapper Soulja Boy is no stranger to media scrunity and in fact, he's becoming quite the attention wh*re.

The rapper, who co-stars on the hit reality show "Love and Hip Hop: Hollywood," recently released a series of clips of himself showing off his amazing body arts and noticeably d**k print for his millions of fans to see.

Keeping it PG, we are only showing you a still from one of the videos and let's just say the dude might not be all that but he is definitely packing!

As reported by TMZ, the video was released just days before the rapper was arrested following someone notifying LAPD after he allegedly threatened someone on Twitter on Saturday. According to the report, upon arrival to the rapper's home in Hollywood Hills, California, a gun was found on the premises, which led to his arrest.

He was later released on a bond and is expected to see a judge after the New Year.

Former NFL star Darren Sharper has felt the full wrath of the law as he was sentenced to 20 years in prison for reportedly drugging and raping two women in Los Angeles and assaulting an alleged nine women across the country.

Via Yahoo:

On Tuesday, Sharper, who has been on trial for raping two women inside his hotel room, was sentenced by a L.A county judge to 20 years in prison on rape charges brought against by the two victim. The young NFLer was also accused of attacking more than a dozen women across the country.

Sharper was sentenced as part of a plea deal he reached last year — a “global resolution” that his attorneys said helped resolve sexual assault cases filed against him in multiple states.

One of the victims had this to say:

“I can only imagine myself lying there like a vegetable while he took advantage of my body without my permission,” she said in a downtown Los Angeles courtroom. 

“I have lost every bit of self confidence I’ve ever had and am always in fear while alone," she added. "It doesn’t matter whether it’s day or night, I can see a guy and automatically in my head think, ‘What if this guy tries to rape me?’”

The L.A Times also reports:

Superior Court Judge Michael E. Pastor noted the statements that the woman and another victim gave as he sentenced Sharper. 

“I dare say that I cannot speak more eloquently or passionately about the horrible misconduct of Mr. Sharper and the unfathomable effect he has had on the two alleged victims,” the judge said. “I think their individual statements speak volumes as to this disgraceful abuse of trust and the behavior of Mr. Sharper.” 

After Los Angeles authorities arrested Sharper on suspicion of sexual assault in January 2014, women in other cities came forward alleging similar attacks. The former New Orleans Saints safety has been convicted of drugging and raping nine women in Los Angeles, Nevada, Arizona and Louisiana.;

Back in 2010, A-list actress Katherine Heigl stunned the politically correct crowd in Hollywood by using an electronic cigarette on a popular American late-night television show. Her brand of choice, VAPESTICK, was just getting its feet wet in the burgeoning industry.

Nevertheless, since then, electronic cigarettes have taken off among the world's top celebrities. It is no longer uncommon to see singers, actors, politicians, and even athletes vaping in public places. 

Just to give you a little taste, here is our list of the top 10 celebrities who use electronic cigarettes: 

10. Ronnie Wood – Musician 

Rolling Stones and Faces guitarist Ronnie Wood has been spotted numerous times using his electronic cigarette while out with friends. He has been spotted in London nightclubs, Hollywood restaurants, and numerous other places. Although Wood is rumoured to be a dual user – he still uses both tobacco and e-cigs – no one quite knows for sure whether he really wants to give up smoking. However, at his age, so what? 

9. Leonardo DiCaprio – Actor 

Hollywood actor Leonardo DiCaprio is certainly at the top of the A-list of film actors. He has been very vocal in his support for electronic cigarettes since taking them up a number of years ago. He has also not been shy about saying he appreciates them as a substitute for his tobacco habit which, 
incidentally, he wants to quit. 

8. Britney Spears – Singer 

With all the self-destructive behavior Britney Spears has engaged in, who would ever have thought she would consider using an electronic cigarette. Yet she has been spotted on numerous occasions doing just that. It may be she only vapes in public places where tobacco is not allowed, but maybe 
she is also trying to quit. Perhaps we should give her the benefit of the doubt? 

7. Murray Kessler – CEO of Lorillard 

Murray Kessler may not be a celebrity to you, but he is a very big name in the world of finance, business, and Big Tobacco. He has been seen on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange happily vaping away. And why wouldn't he? His company was the first Big Tobacco player to get into the electronic cigarette market. The decision by Lorillard to do so has made a huge difference in the company's bottom line. E-Cigarettes are picking up where tobacco sales are lagging. 

6. Kate Moss – Supermodel 

It seems counterproductive for a supermodel to be a cigarette smoker, but Kate Moss managed to pull it off for years. Fortunately, Moss decided a life change was necessary; a change that included substituting her tobacco with an e-cigarette. There is no word on whether or not she continues to vape or, for that matter, smoke. We hope she has at least given up the tobacco habit. It does nothing for her complexion. 

5. June Brown – Actress 

EastEnders' actress in June Brown has been using electronic cigarettes for years. In her case, she is a dual user. She prefers to limit her vaping only to public places when she cannot use tobacco. At least she's trying! 

4. Tom Petty – Musician 

World famous rock star Tom Petty has long been known for the destructive lifestyle that goes with the music industry. However, he has apparently decided he has had enough of tobacco. He turned to electronic cigarettes back in 2010, according to an interview he gave to Parade magazine. 

3. Nikki Reed – Actress 

If you are familiar with the 'Twilight' film series, you are probably familiar with actress Nikki Reed. The American-born actress, producer, screenwriter, and singer turned to electronic cigarettes a number of years ago in place of tobacco. We hope she sticks with it. It would be a shame for such a beautiful face to be ruined by tobacco smoke. 

2. Robert Pattinson – Actor 

Robert Pattinson, another actor who rocketed to stardom via the 'Twilight' series has also taken up e-cigarettes. His first foray into vaping came during a time when his relationship with co-star Kristen Stewart was on the rocks. And although he returned to tobacco for short time, he and Stewart now continue to vape together. That's not a bad thing to have in common! 

1. Johnny Depp – Actor 

How could the quirky Johnny Depp not make our list given the fact that he was the first A-lister to actually use an electronic cigarette in a mainstream film. That's right, there's an entire scene in 'The Tourist' where Depp's character uses, demonstrates, and explains the e-cigarette to the character played by Angelina Jolie. Depp actually uses the device in real life, too. 

There are so many other celebrities using electronic cigarettes these days, that it's impossible to list them all. However, that just proves one thing: the devices are not a passing fad destined to fade away like so many fashion accessories. Vaping is here to stay among celebrities – and us commoners too.
