00:00:00.160 --> 00:00:15.320
A calorogus Shark Media, Hi,
and Welcome to Entertainment, plus a short

2
00:00:15.400 --> 00:00:20.519
roundup of the top entertainment stories in
today's news. In a shocking revelation,

3
00:00:20.640 --> 00:00:25.039
singer Cassie took to Instagram on Thursday
to break her silence after a disturbing video

4
00:00:25.320 --> 00:00:30.640
surface showing her ex boyfriend rapper Sean
Diddy Combs physically assaulting her in a hotel.

5
00:00:31.000 --> 00:00:34.640
The video, obtained by CNM,
depicts a shirtless Diddy wearing only a

6
00:00:34.679 --> 00:00:39.200
towel as he chases Casting down a
hall waiter into Continental Hotel in Century City.

7
00:00:39.600 --> 00:00:43.280
He grabs her and kicks her in
the distressing footage. In her emotional

8
00:00:43.280 --> 00:00:47.479
statement addressing the incident, the thirty
seven year old singer urged people to open

9
00:00:47.520 --> 00:00:52.399
your heart to believe victims the first
time. Cassie expressed heartfelt gratitude, writing

10
00:00:52.799 --> 00:00:55.520
thank you for all the love and
support from my family, friends, strangers

11
00:00:55.520 --> 00:00:58.359
than those I have yet to meet. The outpouring of love has created a

12
00:00:58.399 --> 00:01:00.840
place for my younger self to settle
and feel safe now, but this is

13
00:01:00.920 --> 00:01:07.079
only the beginning. She emphasized the
severity of the issue, stating domestic violence

14
00:01:07.280 --> 00:01:11.120
is the issue it broke me down
to someone I never thought I would become.

15
00:01:11.519 --> 00:01:12.799
With a lot of hard work,
I am better today, but I

16
00:01:12.840 --> 00:01:17.799
will always be recovering from my past. Cassie thanked everyone who took the matter

17
00:01:17.840 --> 00:01:22.280
seriously and offered her support to others
still trapped in abusive situations. I offer

18
00:01:22.319 --> 00:01:25.640
my hand to those who are still
living in fear. Reach out to your

19
00:01:25.680 --> 00:01:27.640
people, don't cut them off.
No one should carry this weight alone.

20
00:01:27.840 --> 00:01:30.680
This healing journey is never ending,
but the support means everything to me.

21
00:01:30.959 --> 00:01:37.439
Thank you, Love always. Diddy
took responsibility for his inexcusable actions and apologized

22
00:01:37.439 --> 00:01:41.519
on Sunday in an Instagram video.
Looking solemnly into the camera, he said,

23
00:01:41.719 --> 00:01:44.719
I hit rock bottom, but I
make no excuses. My behavior in

24
00:01:44.760 --> 00:01:48.959
that video is inexcusable. I take
full responsibility for my actions in that video.

25
00:01:49.079 --> 00:01:52.000
I'm disgusted. I was disgusted then
when I did it, and I

26
00:01:52.040 --> 00:01:56.120
am disgusted now. The rapper shared
that he sought professional help to address his

27
00:01:56.159 --> 00:01:59.560
issues. I went and I sought
our professional help. I got into going

28
00:01:59.599 --> 00:02:01.719
to therapy, going to rehab.
Had to ask God for his mercy and

29
00:02:01.760 --> 00:02:05.879
grace. I'm so sorry, but
I am committed to be a better man

30
00:02:06.000 --> 00:02:09.240
each and every day and not asking
for forgiveness and truly sorry. Didy's public

31
00:02:09.240 --> 00:02:15.319
apology and commitment to change came after
the disturbing video sparked widespread outrage. In

32
00:02:15.360 --> 00:02:20.639
a separate headline making celebrity story,
the mystery lender who attempted to rest control

33
00:02:20.680 --> 00:02:24.080
of Elvis Presley's iconic Graceland mansion away
from the late singer's granddaughter, Riley Keo,

34
00:02:24.439 --> 00:02:29.879
says he is abandoning his efforts.
Gregory Nasauni told dailymail dot Com that

35
00:02:29.919 --> 00:02:34.360
the complex case, which spans three
different states, is proving too complicated to

36
00:02:34.520 --> 00:02:38.280
pursue. Nasawney, who claims the
late Lisa Marie Presley borrowed millions of dollars

37
00:02:38.280 --> 00:02:43.039
from him back in twenty fifteen,
was blocked by a Memphis court on Wednesday

38
00:02:43.080 --> 00:02:46.560
from having Graceland auctioned off to settle
the supposed debt. In an email response,

39
00:02:46.599 --> 00:02:51.560
he said he consulted with lawyers and
is withdrawing all claims with prejudice to

40
00:02:51.599 --> 00:02:55.400
avoid the need for multiple legal filings
across several states. The Sawny added there

41
00:02:55.439 --> 00:03:00.439
was no harm meant on Miss Killo
for her mother's LMP. Miss habits and

42
00:03:00.479 --> 00:03:04.879
mismanaging of money. He seemed to
place blame on Lisa Marie Presley's financial decisions

43
00:03:04.960 --> 00:03:08.520
rather than her daughter Riley. The
supposed lander's abrupt abandonment of his Graceland takeover

44
00:03:08.520 --> 00:03:14.800
attempt follows scrutiny of fishy loan documents
produced by his mysterious Missouri based fern.

45
00:03:15.080 --> 00:03:21.240
In more personal revelations, Seinfeld actor
Michael Richards seventy four has disclosed his previously

46
00:03:21.280 --> 00:03:25.639
private twenty eighteen stage one prostate cancer
diagnosis. The comedian shares details of his

47
00:03:25.719 --> 00:03:31.120
health battle in his forthcoming Memoirle Entrances
and Exits. Richards spoke candidly to People

48
00:03:31.120 --> 00:03:36.240
Magazine, revealing that immediate surgical intervention
saved his life. If I hadn't,

49
00:03:36.479 --> 00:03:38.719
I probably would have been dead in
about eight months, he said, of

50
00:03:38.759 --> 00:03:45.240
the prostate removal operation his doctor recommended
after a biopsy. The Seinfeld star admitted

51
00:03:45.240 --> 00:03:46.960
he was initially resigned to what he
thought was his fate. Upon hearing the

52
00:03:47.000 --> 00:03:50.879
cancer news, I thought, well, this is my time. I'm ready

53
00:03:50.919 --> 00:03:53.639
to go, which is called.
But thoughts of his young son quickly shifted

54
00:03:53.680 --> 00:03:58.639
his perspective and determination to have more
time with his child. Not possible.

55
00:03:59.560 --> 00:04:02.080
The brush with mortality inspired Richards to
put his life story down on paper.

56
00:04:02.360 --> 00:04:05.319
I'm turning seventy five, so maybe
wanting to do that is something that comes

57
00:04:05.319 --> 00:04:09.800
with being my age, he mused. I had over forty journals I've kept

58
00:04:09.800 --> 00:04:13.840
over the years. I wanted to
connect with my feelings and memories. In

59
00:04:13.879 --> 00:04:17.480
the memoir, Richard's also tackles his
infamous two thousand and six racist outburst at

60
00:04:17.480 --> 00:04:21.079
the Laugh Factory comedy club. I
was immediately sorry the moment I said it

61
00:04:21.120 --> 00:04:25.759
on stage, instead of repeatedly using
the N word against Heckler's during a stand

62
00:04:25.839 --> 00:04:28.839
up set. My anger was all
over the place, and it came through

63
00:04:29.079 --> 00:04:33.879
hard and fast. Rather than engage
in superficial damage control, Richards turned inward.

64
00:04:34.120 --> 00:04:38.639
I've spent the past seventeen years in
deep analysis to figure out where all

65
00:04:38.639 --> 00:04:41.600
the anger was coming from, he
explained, tracing it back to his own

66
00:04:41.639 --> 00:04:45.879
deep seated insecurities and fears of not
being accepted. He insisted, I'm not

67
00:04:45.959 --> 00:04:48.439
racist and I have nothing against black
people, framing the on stage tirade as

68
00:04:48.480 --> 00:04:53.560
a misguided attempt to put down a
man who said he wasn't funny, Echoing

69
00:04:53.560 --> 00:04:58.639
the actor's own self doubts. In
tragic news from the music world, Charlie

70
00:04:58.639 --> 00:05:00.319
Collen, former basis of the band
train As, died at the age of

71
00:05:00.360 --> 00:05:03.839
fifty eight after an accidental fall in
a shower. His mother had confirmed to

72
00:05:03.959 --> 00:05:09.079
TMZ. Colin had been house sitting
for a friend in Belgium when the fatal

73
00:05:09.120 --> 00:05:13.240
accident occurred. Sadly, his body
was not discovered until the homeowners returned from

74
00:05:13.279 --> 00:05:16.759
their trip approximately five days later.
Colin's former train band mates more this sudden

75
00:05:16.839 --> 00:05:21.040
loss of their one time collaborator.
In an Instagram post Wednesday, they remembered

76
00:05:21.040 --> 00:05:26.560
the sweetest guy while alluding to the
substance abuse issues that reportedly led to Colin's

77
00:05:26.560 --> 00:05:30.079
departure from the Grammy winning group in
two thousand and three. In comments at

78
00:05:30.120 --> 00:05:33.519
the time of Colin's exit, lead
singer Pat Monahan said, Charlie is one

79
00:05:33.600 --> 00:05:36.240
incredible bass player, but he was
in a lot of pain and the way

80
00:05:36.240 --> 00:05:40.879
he was dealing with it was very
painful for everyone else around him. Tensions

81
00:05:40.920 --> 00:05:44.399
came to a head after a Disaster's
Oregon performance, where Colin was a mess.

82
00:05:44.800 --> 00:05:46.839
Monahan forced the band to choose between
the two of them. A painful

83
00:05:46.959 --> 00:05:50.839
ultimatum. Looking back on his train
tenure. In an interview last year,

84
00:05:50.879 --> 00:05:56.199
Colin felt the band's meteoric rise may
have contributed to his personal issues. We

85
00:05:56.360 --> 00:05:58.800
just never stopped. It's kind of
one of those things where you feel like

86
00:05:58.800 --> 00:06:01.040
this is too good to be true. Most bands have a lifespan of a

87
00:06:01.040 --> 00:06:04.519
few years, he reflected. Despite
the difficult parting, Colin went on to

88
00:06:04.519 --> 00:06:09.319
collaborate with other major rock acts like
Puddle of Mud and Slipknot. He also

89
00:06:09.360 --> 00:06:14.319
formed new musical projects like pain Birds
with fellow trained alum Rob Hotchkiss and the

90
00:06:14.360 --> 00:06:23.560
band The Side Deal More Entertainment Just
a Moment. In a surprising update from

91
00:06:23.560 --> 00:06:28.000
a wellness icon, fitness guru,
Richard Simmons seventy five is apparently working on

92
00:06:28.120 --> 00:06:31.399
bringing an interactive musical about his life
story to Broadway. Simmons, who has

93
00:06:31.519 --> 00:06:35.800
largely retreated from the public eye over
the past decade, excitedly shared the news

94
00:06:35.839 --> 00:06:39.720
with fans on Facebook. I just
got off the phone with a friend of

95
00:06:39.720 --> 00:06:43.240
mine who is an attorney and manages
famous artists and music. Simmons posted,

96
00:06:43.560 --> 00:06:46.360
she wants to do an interactive Broadway
show about my life. The Energetic Sweat

97
00:06:46.399 --> 00:06:50.680
into the oldie star envisions a production
featuring open space near the stage for audience

98
00:06:50.680 --> 00:06:56.639
members to join lively dance workout numbers. Simmons expressed his enthusiasm to reporters,

99
00:06:56.680 --> 00:07:00.000
saying, I am so excited about
the prospect of my own Broadway show.

100
00:07:00.079 --> 00:07:02.839
So many ideas and I'm writing them
all down. Broadway is in my blood.

101
00:07:02.959 --> 00:07:06.560
To get inspired for the potential project, he has been sharing favorite memories

102
00:07:06.560 --> 00:07:11.160
from Broadway shows he attended over the
years, like the original nineteen eighty three

103
00:07:11.160 --> 00:07:15.120
production of Lakaja fol Simmons recalled the
dancers greeting him from the stage during the

104
00:07:15.199 --> 00:07:18.439
I Am What I Am opening number
on his backstage to visit after the show,

105
00:07:18.680 --> 00:07:23.040
I sent each dancer along stemmed white
Rose, he reminisced. About a

106
00:07:23.040 --> 00:07:25.839
week later, they sent me a
handmade thank you card and they all signed

107
00:07:25.839 --> 00:07:29.879
it. I still have their card
today. The prospect of Simmons translating his

108
00:07:29.959 --> 00:07:33.879
exuberant persona and fitness legacy to an
interactive Broadway experience after so many years out

109
00:07:33.879 --> 00:07:39.079
of the spotlight mark's an intriguing development
for both the theater world and longtime fans
