DaBaby arrested
Rapper DaBaby has been arrested in Beverly Hills. E! News reports the 29-year-old hip-hop star, whose real name is Jonathan Kirk, was taken into custody for alleged possession of a firearm on Thursday after a Gucci store security guard reported a man with a “handgun in his waistband” on Rodeo Drive. Kirk was previously arrested in January 2020 for alleged battery after an altercation with a club promoter.
‘Police Academy’ actress dies
“Police Academy” star Marion Ramsey is dead at age 73. ET reports the actress, best known for playing the soft-spoken Officer Laverne Hooks in six “Police Academy” films, died Thursday at her home in Los Angeles. A cause of death has not been announced. Ramsey’s long list of credits included Bill Cosby’s sketch comedy series “Cos,” Broadway shows, “The Jeffersons,” “MacGyver,” “Beverly Hills 90210,” “The Nanny,” “Modern Family,” and Syfy’s campy “Lavalantula” with her former “Police Academy” co-star Steve Guttenberg.
Xena vs Hercules
“Xena: Warrior Princess” star Lucy Lawless is calling out “Hercules: The Legendary Journey” star Kevin Sorbo after Sorbo reportedly suggested without evidence that some of the pro-Trump rioters at the U.S. Capitol were actually antifa activists. “They don’t look like patriots to me,” said Sorbo, a right-wing actor who starred on “Hercules” from 1995 to 1999. “No, Peanut. They are not Patriots. They are your flying monkeys, homegrown terrorists, QAnon actors,” responded Lawless, a New Zealand actress who appeared on eight episodes of “Hercules” and starred on the spinoff “Xena” from 1995 to 2001. ”They are the douchebags that go out and do the evil bidding of people like you who like to wind them up like toys and let them do their worst,” she added.
