Rapper Suge Knight has pleaded not guilty to murder in a hit-and-run case today.
The music mogul appeared in court today to deny all charges, after two men were killed in the fatal incident in Compton, California, in January.
His bail reportedly remains at $10million, after Los Angeles County Judge Ronald Coen denied a request to reduce it.
Knight faces one count of murder for Terry Carter’s death, one of attempted murder after Cle “Bone” Sloan was injured in the incident, and one count of hit-and-run.
A jury trial is now set for July 7.

He didn’t collapse on this occasion
A nine-minute video showing Suge’s truck mowing down two men at a drive-thru in LA was previously played in court.
The footage captured by a burger restaurant’s camera shows the music producer’s truck pull up the car park to talk to several men.
At the time of the incident on January 29th, the restaurant was the set of a video shoot for an upcoming documentary called “Straight Outta Compton.”
Cle “Bone” Sloan was working as a security guard for the film crew and can be seen approaching Knight after he pulls up.
After a few moments the music boss is seen reversing his vehicle knocking Sloan, 51, to the ground with the truck’s side view mirror.

The rapper kept his head down as he entered court
At that point Terry Carter, 55, is seen entering the frame.
Knight’s Ford F150 is then seen speeding forward ploughing in to both men and leaving Carter for dead.
The footage continues as a third man is seen running up to Sloan, still lying on the ground, and removing something from his waistband.
Knight claimed he didn’t mean to run over either man, and instead was trying to flee the scene.
He was scared for his life because both men were armed, he said.
Ricky Rayment and Marnie Simpson are seriously in love – and they aren’t afraid to show it.
The reality pair couldn’t keep their hands off each other as they lazed by the pool while enjoying a sun-drenched break in Lanzarote.
TOWIE star Ricky was obviously feeling a little bit cheeky as he grabbed a handful while the pair locked lips in a steamy embrace.
Is anyone else getting a little hot under the collar?

Cheeky!
Geordie Shore star Marnie didn’t seem to mind too much, giggling away as Ricky playfully petted her behind.
The adorable couple even wore matching swimsuits for the occassion. Aww.
The pair were spotted lazing by the pool while they enjoyed their jollies and Marnie showed off her trim figure in a backless blue swimming costume.
Meanwhile, Ricky relaxed in a pair of bright blue shorts and a pair of oversized sunnies.

Ricky grabs a handful
Things certainly seem to be hotting up between the couple and it looks like there might even be marriage and kids in store.
We couldn’t be more excited about the prospect of a Geordie Shore meets TOWIE family.
Opening up about their relationship in a joint interview with Now magazine , the pair couldn’t stop gushing about each other and their planned future together.
Romance was on the cards straight away after the pair met up at the NTA’s in January, as Marnie was accused of cheating on her then-boyfriend Dan Slone, and Ricky had only recently ended his relationship with Jessica Wright, and they don’t appear to have looked back since.

Ricky and Marnie are all kinds of loved up
Getting all emosh, about his other half, Ricky said: “I’ve always said she’s ‘the one’. We’re like the same person but she’s a girl. From the minute we wake up until we go to bed we’re always laughing.”
Marnie added: “When he’s not with me I’m so bored.”
Gosh, we’re welling up.
While they’re planning their future, Ricky did admit he’s hanging on before he gets a tattoo. Very sensible.

Even if he did get booed this weekend, we can assume Young Thug is a relatively happy man. The Atlanta rapper recently confirmed that he is engaged, after all.
We assumed that Young Thug had gotten engaged after he shared some telling Instagram posts, but we couldn’t be exactly sure. Well, during an interview released Wednesday (April 22), the MC finally confirmed the rumors.
“Yes,” Thugger told AllHipHop during an interview at his April 17 listening party.
While Thug gears up for wedding bells, the rapper’s also had to deal with rumors of a Rich Homie Quan feud – especially after he called him “Bitch Homie Quan” during a March concert.
“He had to focus on his career,” Thug said of Quan. “That’s something that he had to do. He didn’t have to do it, but he did it
A mother who beat breast cancer fulfilled a bucket-list wish of riding a horse on a beach – only to be tragically killed when she fell off, an inquest heard.
One of 51-year-old Geraldine Murray-Jones’s lifetime ambitions was to gallop on horseback across a deserted beach.
The mum-of-two travelled 100 miles to a stunning giant Welsh beach and “laughed out loud” as she rode out with a friend to fulfil her dream.

Tragic Death: Geraldine Jones who had just beaten breast cancer was killed when she fell of a horse at a seaside beauty spot
But an inquest today heard she suddenly fell off the cantering horse and landed heavily on her head onto the sand.
Her friend Briony Sellar and a passing jogger administered first aid – and a coastguard rescue team was sent. But she died at the scene from severe head injuries.
Geraldine, who was wearing a helmet, was an experienced rider but had never before galloped on sand.
Briony, 49, told the inquest how she keeps two of her own horses called Billy and Hector near the beach at Gower, South Wales – and offered to take Geraldine on her dream horseride.

Beach Tragedy: The 51-year-old had always wanted to ride across a deserted beach on horseback
She said: “Gerry had really been looking forward to it. She loved horses and the views.
“I had been there a couple of days and Gerry travelled down to meet up with us. She was on Hector who was the more calm, placid and laid back of my horses. She was laughing out loud as we went through the dunes.
“I had been out riding on the beach a couple of days before with my partner and the horse was fine with the sand and waves.
“Gerry and I went out on the sand and I was riding on ahead at a canter. I turned around to see how she was faring and saw her lying on her back on the sand.
“Hector was staring to trot towards me on his own. ”
Briony couldn’t get to unresponsive Geraldine to perform CPR because the horses were “spooked”. She flagged down a runner who put Geraldine in the recovery position – and Briony ran off to ask nearby anglers to raise the coastguard.
Briony – a qualified nurse and riding instructor – said: “I have no idea at all what happened and how she fell. I really don’t know. There were no potholes or ripples on the beach”.

Accidental Death: An inquest heard Geraldine had been carrying out one of her bucket-list wishes
The inquest heard Geraldine suffered a fractured skull and died from brain injuries.
Her husband Tim, 53, and two sons, Olly, 16, and 12-year-old Henry, were heartbroken by the tragic accident at Llangennith Beach on the Gower coastline of South Wales.
Geraldine, of Fownhope, Herefordshire, worked was the head of marketing and communications at St Michael’s Hospice near Hereford when she was diagnosed with breast cancer three years ago.
She underwent chemotherapy and when she was given the all-clear Geraldine drew up a “wish list” of things she had always wanted to do.
South Wales Police investigating officer PC Gareth Jenkins told the Swansea inquest: “She was a very positive and outgoing person, a devoted mother who cared a lot about her friends.
“Through her work in the hospice she became passionate about issues in Herefordshire.”

Beauty Spot: Geraldine had been riding with a friend when she fell
The inquest heard Geraldine has spent a lot of time on horses when she was younger – and wanted to enjoy the thrill of riding again.
Swansea coroner Colin Phillips sent his condolences to the family. He recorded a verdict of accidental death.
Acting senior coroner Colin Phillips said: “Geraldine’s equipment were satisfactory and she was with an experienced horse riding instructor, and was an experienced rider herself.
“The helmet she was wearing was her own helmet. Ms Sellars said it was checked before and it was a well-fitting helmet.
“I offer my condolences to Mr Jones and family. An unexpected death is extremely difficult to cope with.”
Staff at the hospice where she worked were in tears after being told of the tragedy in July last year.
Chief Executive Nicky West said: “Geraldine’s vibrant personality and zest for life made an enormous contribution to St Michael’s.
“Geraldine’s love of life brought joy to the people she spent time with. Her sudden death is a shock, leaving friends and former colleagues saddened and in tears. She will be greatly missed.”
Russell Wilson is having one hell of an off-season … he just walked in to the White House State dinner with Ciara on his arm …. and she’s looking DAMN FINE!!!!!
Rumors had been swirling about the Seattle Seahawks QB secretly dating the R&B singer … but now, it appears to be official — with Wilson bringing her as his date for dinner with President Obama and the Prime Minister of Japan.

Kim spoke out in support of Bruce in an interview the following day, praising him as brave and inspirational.
Now, it’s emerged that the reality kueen intends to continue supporting her stepdad by acting as his stylist.
A source told Grazia Magazine: “Kim’s promised to help Bruce with his wardrobe.

“As long as he is happy, and he wants to live his life, however he wants to live it, that just makes me happy. And I support him 100 percent.”

The 34-year-old television personality also revealed Bruce, 65, is helping the family to feel as “comfortable as possible” with his decision.
Speaking on The Today Show, she added: “What do we call him? Do we say him or her? How do we be respectful? There’s so many different things that you just want to be supportive and you just want to be respectful, and I think that everything takes time.
“I mean, Bruce wants us to feel as comfortable as possible and take everything at our own pace, and we love him for that, and we respect
him for that.
“Until that transition is done, we’ve learned that you do refer to him as him. He’s been really, really good at explaining everything to us, even though it’s really new. These have been newer feelings – not newer feelings for him, but for us to digest. He’s done a really good job of walking us through it.”
The mother-of-one revealed her siblings sat through ‘hundreds of family meetings’ and went through ‘every emotion possible’ as they came to terms with Bruce Jenner’sdecision to become a woman.

Bruce bravely announced his transition to the world during a tell-all interview with ABC’s Diane Sawyer last Friday.
Speaking publicly for the first time since the reality star’s revelation, Kim lifted the lid on how the famous family dealt with the news.
Kim said: “There is every emotion you could possibly imagine. There is hundreds of family meetings, we still have them.
“Say what you want about us, but we work out everything as a family, we have the best communication and we are so in sync with each other.”
Kim, who was spotted visiting her step-dad following the interview, continued by saying each member of the Kardashian Klan had dealt with the news “in a different way”.
She said: “I love having so many siblings and such a supportive mom because each family member might be dealing with this in a different way but we have each other to go through this experience with, and I’m really grateful for tha
Courtney Stodden has shot a sex tape which is being shopped around, according to TMZ.
The 20-year-old – who hit headlines when she married 51-year-old actor Doug Hutchison- stars in the film alone.
The website reported that Vivd Entertainment boss Steven Hirsh has already seen it saying it “looks amazing, this is the most unique footage I’ve ever seen”. Blimey.

Courtney could be moving into adult movies
Hirsh would only be allowed to distribute the video if DD chested Courtney signs it off.
If she is going to let anyone take it it will probably be Vivid – as that was the first studio to introduce celebrity sex tapes.
Over the years it’s had Pamela Anderson & Tommy Lee: Hardcore & Uncensored, Janine & Vince Neil: Hardcore and Uncensored, Kim Kardashian Superstar, Jimi Hendrix: The Sex Tape and others.

Courtney is not shy about striking a pose or two
In 2013 Courtney, who has reconciled with Doug after a brief split, claimed she had turned down a $5 million porn offer.
She said at the time: “Trust me, the second I turned 18, the entire porn industry turned upside down, Vivid, all of them. I turned down a $5 million porn offer about 3 months ago.”
His Diane Sawyer interview has been the talk of the internet.
And Bruce Jenner will be on TV talking about his life as a transgender woman even more in the future as E! has confirmed it will air an eight-part, one-hour series about his journey.
The series will premiere in the UK this summer and explore his intimate story as he lives his life as a female for the first time.

The documentary series, which is yet to be given a title, will also discover the effects his transformation has had on the people in his life.
Jeff Olde, Executive Vice President, Programming and Development, E!, said: “Bruce is incredibly courageous and an inspiration, and we are proud to be entrusted with this deeply personal and important story.
“This series will present an unfiltered look as Bruce boldly steps into uncharted territory and is true to himself for the first time.”
As well as being the main star of the docuseries, the former Olympian, 65, will serve as executive producer on the project.
On Friday night, Bruce confirmed he is now a woman during a sit-down interview with US chat show queen Diane.

Bruce Jenner The Interview with Diane Sawyer
He said: “Yes, for all intents and purposes, I’m a woman. I have the soul of a female and my brain in much more female than it is male, as of now I have all the male parts.”
He was supported by his family, including ex-wife Kris Jenner, his daughters Kylie and Kendall, and step-daughters Kim, Kourtney and Khloe Kardashian, who all watched his interview together.
Despite this, Bruce is currently choosing to not live publicly in the media as a woman.
Kris’ reaction to the news has possibly been the most documented – the couple were married for 23 years, after all.
The latest reports today suggest that the matriarch was “publicly humiliated” by the whole thing.
RadarOnline claim that “she had known about his habit of wearing her clothes around the house — there were no tears for the incredible struggle and journey Bruce endured.”
There’s also the issue of whether she was contacted for comment or not.
She says she wasn’t – while ABC insist they did ask her – repeatedly.
When the show aired, Bruce’s other two ex-wives gave supportive statements, while it was said that Kris did not make a comment.
Kris then took to Twitter to blast the claims that she didn’t comment, saying to celebrity blogger Perez Hilton: “F*** you Perez no one asked me to comment …. and I’m sitting with Bruce now watching this show so let’s keep it real…LOL….”
Kim Kardashian
Kim was very quick to say the whole family supports Bruce’s decision to become a woman.
Speaking on The Today Show, she said: “I think there is still an adjustment and there’s family therapy and we’re really close.
“I see reports that say, you know, this one doesn’t support him, and this one’s over here and my mom feels this way, and it’s all really so made up. We all really support him. [But] is it a hard adjustment? Yes.”
She also star tweeted her support to her stepfather following the interview.
She wrote: “Love is the courage to live the truest, best version of yourself. Bruce is love. I love you Bruce. #ProudDaughter
“Your honesty has opened the doors for others to be courageous and live an authentic life! #respect #hero #family (sic)”
During the interview Bruce revealed it was Kanye who helped Kim understand the gender transition.
He said: “They were talking about it and [Kanye] says to Kim, ‘Look, I can be married to the most beautiful woman in the world, and I am. I can have the most beautiful little daughter in the world, and I have that. But I’m nothing if I can’t be me. If I can’t be true to myself, they don’t mean anything.’
“Since then, Kimberly has been by far the most accepting, and the easiest to talk to about it.”
Kourtney
Kourtney, who is known for being the most reserved family member, supported her step father by writing: “Couldn’t be a more proud daughter. With courage and bravery, let’s change the world. I am honored to stand by Bruce’s side and support him. (sic)”
She added: “Elated by the overwhelming support for Bruce’s bravery&courage to be himself.Woke up with a smile on my face knowing this will change lives.”
Her long term partner Scott Disick has yet to comment.
Khloe
Khloe was also quick to tweet support for her step dad Bruce.
She tweeted: “Just finished watching the #BruceJennerInterview with the family. Bruzer, I’m soooo proud of you! Dads really are heros(sic)”
She also posted a picture of him in when he was competing in the Olympics – with the words Brave written across it.
During the interview Bruce revealed that Khloe struggled with his decision this most.
“You would think out of all the kids, Khloe who is most fun, open minded,” he explained:
“[Khloe] had the toughest time with it, she had the most losses.
“With her dad [the late Robert Kardashian] and [estranged husband] Lamar had his issues.’
Robert
While in general Rob steers clear of the limelight he decided to tweet about his step-fahter.
He tweeted: “You have always been a role model to me and now more than ever, I look up to you. LOVE YOU!”
Kendall
Kendall simply tweeted: “I love you … so very proud of you, my hero (sic)”
Kylie
Bruce’s youngest daughter Kylie addressed the interview by retweeting a couple of messages of support from Lady Gaga.
She added: “Understandingly, this has been very hard for me. You will hear what I have to say when I’m ready to but… this isn’t about me. I’m so proud of you, Dad. You are so brave. My beautiful Hero.”
Later in the day she wrote: “All this positive feedback I’m reading! makes me so happy.”
And the following morning she still couldn’t quite believe the reaction, writing: “Woke up still in awe… I’ve never been more proud of you, Dad!!!!!!”

Brandon shared a lovely picture of himself with Bruce when he was a child.

Brody
While Brody appeared on the show alongside his dad he also shared a picture writing: “You won another gold tonight. I stand with you on this journey. I love you Dad,”
Burt and Cassandra
Bruce’s eldest son and daughter also appeared on the interview to support their dad.
After the interview though he appeared to be suggesting some people’s reaction the news was fake, he tweeted: “Having a hard time not putting a few people on blast who were not supporters before hand, but want to act like they were all along,”
In a truly weird turn, Bruce Jenner’s sons, along with Kim Kardashian, are warning him to slow down on revealing too much of his journey on reality TV.
Sources connected with Bruce’s brood tell us, Kim and the boys think Bruce was spectacular on the Diane Sawyer special and won over millions of people in the process.
They say they’re worried Bruce’s upcoming docuseries might “de-class” what he’s accomplished. We’re told they also urged Bruce not to do other interviews and finish the process in private.
We’re told some of the kids have gone to their dad to express their concern, but the ship has sailed. Bruce believes the docuseries will educate people and create empathy, so he’s committed.
We’re also told Bruce’s kids won’t appear on his show.
Openly gay singer Adam Lambert claimed in a new interview that he has slept with a number of male Hollywood stars who aren’t openly gay.
“I’ve been with a few of them,” the singer, 33, tells Glamour magazine but refused to mention names.
Speaking about why these men sometimes choose to hide their true sexuality, Adam said:
“Whether it’s music or acting, you’ve got to remember that those industries are primarily run by men, so maybe it’s about that. But with women being the primary moviegoers and record-buyers, surely it shouldn’t matter so much?”
Soccer legend John Fashanu has accused his wife of trying to kill him – after she allegedly found him bedding two women at the same time.
The retired former Wimbledon and England striker said estranged Abigail Onyekwelu went for him with a knife during a furious row at their home.
Fashanu, also a former Gladiators host, is now at the centre of a bitter divorce battle with Abigail – and insists SHE cheated on him with a woman.
She denies his claims and the astonishing battle – which includes the accusation that he bedded their maid – is to be played out in the high court in Abuja, Nigeria.
Furious Abigail, 48, said last night: “Good riddance to bad rubbish! I’ve left him and washed my hands.”
Back in the day: John Fashanu used to present hit UK TV show Gladiators
But Fashanu, 52 – dubbed Fash the Bash for his hardman reputation in Wimbledon’s famous “Crazy Gang” – hit back with an extraordinary series of allegations.
He said he had to call in police to protect him from knife-wielding Abigail and was devastated to find her in bed with another woman.
He also alleged that she stole thousands of pounds in cash from their marital home.
Speaking exclusively to the Sunday People the star – who now presents the Nigerian version of TV’s Deal or No Deal – said: “She attempted to use knives on me. It was terrifying.
“My life was at stake, there’s no two ways about that.
“Even if you did think I was sleeping with the maid, or even if you thought I was sleeping with Miss Nigeria, don’t kill me! Just leave me and go. The violence was just too much.”

He denied his wife’s claim to have discovered him in bed with two other women – one of them their maid.
“I’ve been very fortunate to date some of the most beautiful women in the world,” Fash insisted. “I certainly don’t have to sleep with my cleaner!
“This is me, John Fashanu, you’re talking to. It’s absolute nonsense. If she wants to make up that story, at least let her say it’s Beyoncé or someone.
“Don’t say it’s my cleaner, that’s just b******s. It’s not true at all.
“The truth is she’s been cheating on me with a woman she calls her spiritual partner.
“I caught them in the bed many times. That was why I kicked her out of my house.”

In play: John Fashanu used to play for Wimbledon
Abigail is the mother of former beauty queen Adaeze Yobo. Fashanu met her in 2009. They married two years later but the relationship hit the skids last year.
Father-of-five Fashanu claimed police are now investigating an attack on him. He also alleged that officers are trying to retrieve missing cash from Abigail.
He said: “I’m the one who is filing for divorce. I couldn’t stand her and, to be honest, she probably couldn’t stand me. With Abigail it was just money, money, money.
“I’ve never seen a woman who has such an appetite for money. Nearly one million Nigerian naira (around £3,300) was stolen from my house in Abuja. There are police reports you can see.
“There were so many assaults, it was just getting too much. It was absolutely ridiculous. She attacked me on multiple occasions. The whole situation was far too hot for me. There are some wonderful, wonderful women. It’s just that I met the wrong one.”
Glamorous socialite Abigail, a qualified lawyer and mother-in-law to former Nigerian football captain Joseph Yobo, paints a totally different picture of the marriage breakdown.
The mother of four said: “John’s saying I tried to kill him? Oh my God, this is so funny. I don’t quite understand all this.
“How can I kill him? How can somebody like me kill this huge man who is an expert in karate. I don’t understand how I can kill him.”
Told that he had accused her of going to his house armed with knives before trying to attack him, Abigail retorted: “Oh my God, that is ridiculous.”
She also rejected Fashanu’s claim that he threw her out of his house
after finding her in bed with another woman.
Abigail said: “He didn’t kick me out of his house. We were living in my house. He couldn’t have kicked me out of my own house – I kicked him out.”
Of the woman concerned, she insisted: “She is a good friend to me. She has a husband and children. It is ridiculous. She was living with me for a while to get back on her feet.”
Abigail went on: “I caught him in bed with two women, the housemaid and one other woman. There were two women, it was awful.
“They were on the bed. They were undressed. I said to them, ‘Who are you and what’s going on here?’
“He told me that he doesn’t know what he’s doing and I should pray for him. He knows how to manipulate people, that’s one thing he is good at.
“I last saw him in April last year. I didn’t know he’d filed for divorce. He has been calling people asking them to plead with me to get back with him.
“I would have filed for divorce myself but I haven’t because I’ve been very busy. And he asked me not to because he did not want to make it known that we had separated.
“So I went on my way and I left him but I didn’t tell anybody anything.
“I’ve told him, ‘I don’t want you any more, I have forgiven you, I’m a Christian. But I don’t want you any more, just leave me alone.’
I don’t take him seriously. I don’t have time for him. If I should be angry at anyone, I should be angry at myself for descending so low as to enter into marriage with such a person.”
Responding to claims she stole money from Fashanu, Abigail added: “Anybody can say anything – but how can I go to his house and steal from him in his house?
“I wasn’t living there with him. He’s sick and he needs help.”
Fashanu was born in London to a Guyanan nurse, Pearl, and Nigerian barrister, Patrick. After they split up he had a spell in a Barnado’s home and was fostered in Norfolk.
His football career included spells with Norwich City, Lincoln City, Crystal Palace, Millwall and Aston Villa.
He joined Wimbledon in 1986 and famously won the FA Cup in 1988 in a team including Vinnie Jones and Lawrie Sanchez.
Fashanu scored more than 100 goals during his 17-year career, which also included two appearances for England.

In action: John interviewing Gladiators
After retiring from football he hosted the hit 1990s TV show Gladiators for seven years alongside Ulrika Jonsson.
In 2003 he starred as a contestant in the ITV reality show I’m a Celebrity Get Me Out of Here.
His first marriage, to Ivory Coast model Melissa Kassa-Mapsi, ended in divorce in 2004. Now Fashanu is a famous and respected figure in Africa.
He has carried out extensive charity work and is understood to have been a friend of Nelson Mandela.
He is a UN Ambassador for Nigeria, a former Unicef goodwill ambassador for 53 African countries and a former board member of the Nigeria Football Association.
He also worked to develop professional football across Africa and was Nigeria’s Ambassador for Sport and Tourism. Fashanu now presents the Deal or No Deal Nigeria game show on The Africa Channel and is a successful businessman with interests in London and Abuja.
But the star suffered heartbreak when his brother Justin, who was Britain’s first openly gay professional footballer, hanged himself in London in 1988.
After his brother’s suicide, Fashanu expressed remorse for disowning him because of his homosexuality.
But he later claimed he did not believe Justin was genuinely gay.
Wife Abigail claims he has fathered six children by three different women.
Meanwhile he added: “I filed the divorce petition in September and it’s listed for mention on the 19th of next month at the court in Abuja. We’re trying to move it through.”
Kim Kardashian has been pictured paying a visit to her step-dad Bruce Jenner after he spoke publicly for the first time about his transition.

Now, Kim has been pictured paying a visit to Bruce at his home in Malibu.
During his tell-all chat with US journalist Diane Sawyer, Bruce said Kim had been the most “accepting” of the change, saying her husband Kanye West had been instrumental in helping her to come to terms with it.

A ‘nearby friends’ feature will also show who is around your town or city at that moment.
Facebook have confirmed the plans saying they see ‘a notifications tab that adds additional, relevant content about everything that maybe helpful to know on a particular day’.
No timings for the changes have been announced but it will probably go live first in the USA before the rest of the world.
Here’s an example of the power that Facebook can wield, when a campaign for a dying boy attracted 500,000 pictures of dogs.
When it comes to Tyga‘s women … there’s only one on his arm — in permanent ink — and her name is Kylie Jenner … NOT Blac Chyna.
A photo surfaced today of Tyga with a fan, but more importantly … he’s flaunting fresh ink — his 17-year-old GF’s name is now on his inner right elbow. Sources close to the rapper reports.. he got the tat yesterday to prove to Kylie he is fully committed to her and no one else.
It’s no coincidence he got the ink the day after his baby mama, Blac Chyna put him on Insta-blast — posting his texts to her saying, “I want to be with u” … and have a relationship.
If the texts were real … it looks like Tyga’s had a quick change of heart.
Of course, getting someone’s name tatted is also known as the absolute kiss of death — at least according to Eva Longoria, Iggy Azalea, Melanie Griffith, Ciara, etc …
Blac Chyna says Tyga didn’t just text her out of the blue this week trying to get back with her … she says he’s been making that play for 7 months.
Sources connected with Blac Chyna reports … the text — in which he said “I want to be with u” — was the last in a flurry of texts, conversations and private face-to-face meetings in which he made his play to reconcile their relationship.
Sources close to Chyna says she never believed he was physically with Kylie Jenner — partly because she’s 17, and partly because they were all neighbors and close to the Kardashian family. She says she believed Tyga when he called out the media for suggesting he was dating Kylie, but doesn’t believe it anymore.
Blac Chyna posted Tyga’s texts out of anger, but she claims she wants nothing to do with him anymore. It’s complicated by the fact that they have a kid together.
As for Tyga, he has never said he’s with Kylie and in the past has denied it … but he’s recently insinuated it, and even put it in writing.
Bruce Jenner has emerged for the first time since revealing to the world he is a woman
The former Olympian slipped out for an early morning drive after what was arguably the biggest night of his life.
As he stopped to gas up, Bruce appeared to pause to take a moment to contemplate the drama that had unfolded in the past 24 hours.
And he smiled.
Bruce’s smile was immediately obvious
: The 65-year-old was spotted taking an early morning drive in LA just hours after his amazing tell all interview with Diane Sawyer on ABC
: As Bruce stopped to gas up, he seemed to zone out for a minute, obviously with a lot to think about
So much has been made of the Jenner patriarch’s changing appearance over the past years and decades, but on Saturday it seemed he had just undergone his biggest change yet: he finally looked at peace.
Wearing a royal blue hoodie that concealed his identity to most onlookers, Bruce’s grin to himself was still infectiously evident.
The grin was probably the most genuine one his legions of followers have ever seen him wear.

Haters: Very few people in the celeb community had anything negative to say, and those that did were quickly rounded upon
The tension for him leading up to the broadcast of Friday night’s two hour interview is hard to imagine.
He was finally going to face up to a truth that he has known almost all his life, a truth that has been speculated on and even scorned by commentators for years, a truth that he finally shared with the world just hours earlier.
And it is blatantly clear from the expression on his face that he knows he made the right decision.
