Actor Vince Vaughn has been convicted of reckless driving after his arrest for failing a drunken driving test last year.
An attorney for the 49-year-old “Wedding Crashers” star entered a no contest plea to the misdemeanor count Friday in Los Angeles Superior Court. Vaughn was arrested on June 10 at a sobriety checkpoint in the upscale community of Manhattan Beach.
According to police, the Wedding Crashers actor repeatedly refused to get out of his car and then failed a field sobriety test and a blood alcohol test.
Vaughn ended up being sentenced to three years of unsupervised probation and ordered to complete a three-month alcohol program. According to Page Six, he has also reportedly been advised that if he drives drunk again and kills someone he could be charged with murder.

Survey says—-MESS!
As he continues to flourish with charitable efforts, new hosting gigs and marital bliss, there’s tittle-tattle bubbling about Steve Harvey and his devoted wife.
Marjorie Harvey’s nefarious first husband a man named Jim Townsend, apparently penned a memoir as he sat in a prison cell and now he’s ready to release it. The report comes from RadarOnline who spoke to the convicted cocaine courier himself. According to Townsend who was sentenced to life in prison after attempting to buy 40 kilos of cocaine, he has no reason NOT to write the book that will apparently include alleged details about his former wife.
“I wrote two-thirds of the book in prison,” said Townsend exclusively to RadarOnline.com.
“I have no allegiance to Marjorie, she showed her hand,” he blasted. “I’m going…tell my story. It don’t matter [if she knows about it].”
Marjorie was never charged with any crime but Townsend who was called a “Memphis kingpin” by police told Radar she has some “secrets.”
“I’m pouring my heart out,” he said of sharing all his and Marjorie’s explosive secrets. “No one knows what happened but me and Marjorie.”
M E S S Y.
Townsend served 26 years behind bars and was released in January 2017 after being granted a pardon by then-President Barack Obama.
All the while this news has been circulating, rumors have swirled (again) that a Steve and Marjorie Harvey divorce is on the way.
Hopefully, it’s not true—hit the flip for the details.

RadarOnline who’s on Harvey watch apparently, note that Steve’s seemingly liquidating his assets and sold four of his Texas properties. So far Radar says he’s made $2 million off of two of them—and allegedly previously transferred ownership solely to himself.
They say the “Family Feud” host did this because he’s preparing for a divorce battle.
“Steve learned a lesson from his drawn-out divorce from [second wife] Mary. It took him years to get their properties into his name,” tattled a source.
The home sales come on the heels of news Steve’s $200 million business empire maybe on the line — after his wife stormed out ahead of a possible down-and-dirty divorce war, sources said.”
They allege that the recent worldwide trips you’ve seen Marjorie taking with her daughter Lori Harvey to Japan, Vietnam, the Maldives, Tanzania, and Russia were after a “bitter blowout” between the spouses and despite an alleged financial strain in the Harvey household.
EHHHHHH—looks like some (very rich) mother-daughter bonding time to us. But hey, what do we know?
Mind you, just yesterday Marjorie shared this video of Steve looking confused as their dog Bear sat shotgun in one of their pricey whips.
This isn’t the first time we heard Steve and Marjorie Harvey divorce rumors.
Steve SHUT DOWN reports he was leaving his wife—for Kris Jenner at that, just last year. A fed-up Steve said more stringent libel laws for public figures should be enforced.
“I’m sick of it,” he said. “They act like I don’t have family. They act like my kids can’t read. They don’t care. They just go out to destroy people with no facts behind it.”

In extremely gruesome news, a young man was found dead in Central Park earlier this morning. Reports state he was hanging from an overpass with a plastic bag wrapped around his head.
From the NY Post:
The unidentified white man in his 30s was found dangling by an orange cord from the Winterdale Arch near Central Park West and West 82nd Street around 5:50 a.m. by a passerby who discovered his body and called 911, said cops and a park worker.
It seems authorities and park workers believe it was a suicide.
“He hung himself. Right off the railing at the edge of the arch,” the parks worker said.
“I saw a long orange cord. He had tied a plastic bag around his head, too… It was awful to see. I’m about ready to go home.”
The site states police haven’t said whether or not they have a suicide note just yet. Condolences to his loved ones.

Blocboy JB was arrested on Friday in Shelby County, Tennessee and charged with felony possession of a handgun by a convicted felon. He also faces the misdemeanor charges of speeding, possession of drug paraphernalia, and marijuana possession.
The Memphis rapper was arrested in a Tennessee home along with 20 other individuals in a raid that was the result of a “multi-agency investigation,” according to reports from FOX 13 Memphis. Blocboy’s attorney told the station that another individual was the target of the raid. “They weren’t looking for [JB], and there was no warrant for him personally,” attorney Murray Wells said to FOX 13. “They may have been looking for other suspects on the premises.”
The rapper was also arrested in Shelby County on drug and weapons charges back in February.
It should come as a shock to absolutely NO ONE that cursed wave-hopper Drake slithered his way to Megan Thee Stallion’s yeehaw yammmstagram and hugged it out with the Hot Girl sensation in Vegas.
Oh yes, there’s definitely a big ‘ole collab happening much to the (hilarious) dismay of fans who want Drizzy to keep his thirsty owl claws off the hottest new artist in the game today.
Peet the hilariously petty hysteria over Drake Imstagramming it up with Megan Thee Stallion on the flip.

After two years, justice has been served in the case of a young Black man from Maryland who was wrongfully charged with the attempted murder of a police officer. Kevin Sneed has been found “not guilty,” but says his fight against the criminal justice system weighed heavily on his mind, causing depression and hopelessness.
NBC Washington reports:
His trouble began during a traffic stop. In a police report for the incident, a Prince George’s County Police officer said he stopped Sneed for a broken taillight and because there was a “robbery in the immediate vicinity the previous night.” He said Sneed accelerated during the stop.
The officer reported he jumped into the driver’s side window because he feared the driver had a gun. The officer’s report also said that after searching the vehicle, no guns or drugs were found.
But Sneed was charged with attempted murder of an officer.
Sneed suffered bruises and says he was assaulted by the officer who arrested him…
Eventually Prince George’s County State’s Attorney Aisha Braveboy reduced Sneed’s charges to second-degree assault and disorderly conduct and he was offered a plea with no jail time if he’d admit guilt, which Sneed considered for fear of possibly going to jail.
Instead of taking the plea, they went to trial. With the help of Black Lives Matter, Sneed’s mother Kema Harris was able to get him a better defense team.
Now, on to the good news…
After a two-day trial, a jury found Sneed not guilty on all charges Wednesday. The Maryland ACLU said Sneed had the kind of help too many defendants can’t access.
“People are forced to take these plea deals in which oftentimes they are pleading guilty to crimes they did not commit,” Jay Jimenez of ACLU said. Sneed said the outcome is a second chance.
“If you did not do anything wrong, fight for your life,” he said.
We are beyond happy for Sneed and his loved ones.

Over a month ago, you might remember the shocking video of a 9-year-old getting hit by a speeding car in her yard.
Well now, the young girl is recovering and she’s here to share her story.
The viral video that spread across the Internet showed LaDerihanna Holmes playing in her yard, when out of nowhere, a car plowed through the yard and hit Holmes right before driving away.
According to Channel 2, LaDerihanna was left with a broken pelvis, a fractured skull and other injuries. Her friend also faced injuries. LaDerihanna is now at home unable to walk yet. She uses a wheelchair or a walker to get around, and she spends her time going through rehab while being homeschooled.
LaDerihanna told Channel 2 that she hasn’t watch the clip of the car crashing into her, however, she does remember the sounds.
“Tires screeching,” LaDerihanna said. “My pelvic bone was injured in three places.”
DeKalb County police said both the driver and another man inside the vehicle hopped out seconds after the crash, then they took off running.
Gabriel Fordham, 28, eventually turned himself into police and remains in jail. He originally said that he lost control of the car because he was being carjacked, however, a judge disputed Fordham’s account. LaDerihanna’s mom also isn’t here for Fordham’s story. “He let (the other passenger) in and they were with him,” Charlette Bolton said.
Meanwhile, it’s great to know LaDerihanna is on the journey to recovery. With more rehab, she hopes to have her right leg functioning properly in the future.
“I don’t get to do the things I usually do, but I’m OK,” LaDerihanna said.
As for Fordham, LaDerihanna had this to say:
“I feel like it was a cowardly thing to do,” she said. “You ran me over, but I’m going to get better real soon. Don’t think you hurt me too much.”
Bloop!

Every few years, the climate of the fashion industry changes drastically. At one point, it was cool to rock baggy clothes and mismatched prints, until it became chic to wear skinny jeans and button ups. One thing that rarely shifts in fashion is the desire to incorporate a little street style, no matter what look you’re going for. Big brands sometimes use to stray away from adding “street fashion” into their collections, but they always come back to the culture for a little inspo.
In an effort to reassert itself into the genre of streetwear, True Religion hired UpscaleHype cofounder Allen Onyia as their new artistic director. Onyia is a recognized tastemaker in streetwear fashion circles and was named “Menswear’s Most Important Instagram Account” by GQ in 2018. In a press release about Allen’s new, excited gig, True Religion said in a statement:
“In his new role, Onyia will innovate modern and elevated streetwear for True Religion, which has iconic roots in the aesthetic. He plans to apply the same ethos to design as he does to his platforms – “look good, feel good and be a part of something”.
Onyia said of upcoming position:
“I have always admired True Religion as an iconic brand with deep roots in the streetwear category. I am thrilled to join the team and bring my vision to reestablish a brand people can associate with, in this new age of streetwear.”
True Religion CEO Chelsea Grayson added:
“We have been driving towards this watershed moment since I joined the Company. I am excited to work with Allen to return True Religion to its rightful place among streetwear leaders. The whole point of this [hire] is it really signals a sea change for the company and its progression into the future. This is a real line in the sand and I was intent on that when I joined the company.”
“Allen lives, eats and breathes streetwear and the streetwear aesthetic on all ends of the spectrum. So he knows how to dress it up, dress it down, make it more elevated or less elevated, and I really respect that fluidity in his style.”
Adding Allen to the crew is just one of many changes the brand has planned. Grayson says there will be less denim and more crewneck T-shirts, crewneck long-sleeve shirts, sweatshirts, outerwear and elevated fabrications.
But Allen isn’t new to this fashion ish. Back in 2008, he co founded the site UpscaleHype with his brother Kyle Onyia, which focused on coverage of high-end men’s wear and celebrity fashion. He also worked with True Religion once before as as a brand ambassador when the brand teamed up with Travis Scott back in 2014. Grayson says Onyia’s mark touch on the brand will be felt as soon as their Spring collection drops — but you’ll see more of his works during the holiday assortments.
Congrats, young King.

Don’t Joe Jonas and Sophie Turner look happy at last night’s Billboard Music Awards? There’s a good reason for it.
Right after the awards show, the couple tied the knot at a Vegas chapel in front of family and friends.

Diplo documented his friends’ wedding on his IG story at Chapel L’Amour inside A Little White Wedding Chapel. The two were officiated by an Elvis impersonator, of course.
Congrats to the Lady of Winterfell—oh, and Joe Jonas too!

A mom is accused of slitting the throats of her two young children with a razor and leaving them bleeding on a Bronx street corner according to NY Daily News reports.
Shanice Martin allegedly slashed the necks of her two children — a 2-year-old girl and a 6-year-old boy — around 8:20 p.m. Saturday on a street corner cops said. Panicked pedestrians saw the wounded children and flagged down a passing police cruiser, which rushed them to Lincoln Hospital. The children’s throats were cut “from ear to ear” police sources said.
Her kids are expected to survive.
Covered in blood, Martin, 24, showed up a few minutes after the attack two blocks away at the 42nd Precinct stationhouse, where she handed them the razor she used and surrendered.
“Go ahead and arrest me,” the woman said as she handed the blood-soaked blade over, sources said.
Cops charged her with assault, child abandoment, endangering the welfare of a child, and weapon possession. She is undergoing a psychiatric evaluation.
Shanice Martin’s brother Travone Lango said his sister was estranged from the family and may have just “snapped.”
“She used to take medicine in the past. She never used to act like that. She was probably under a lot of pressure.”
Lango’s mother is taking care of Martin’s two wounded children, her brother said.
“I feel bad for them,” he said of his nephew and niece. “I hope they’re OK.”
