Kanye ‘Ye’ West named as suspect in Los Angeles criminal battery investigation
Kanye ‘Ye’ West was allegedly involved in a battery incident in Los Angeles on Wednesday, January 12. The 44-year-old “is a named suspect in a battery report,” the Los Angeles Police Department confirmed on Thursday, January 13. According to authorities, the report was taken around 3 a.m. after a supposed argument occurred at the corners of Santa Fe and Bay Streets. Police were unable to specify the details of the investigation, however, they confirmed that no arrests were made. Police sources as saying the incident is being investigated as misdemeanor battery, which carries a maximum jail sentence of 6 months.
Reportedly, Ye allegedly punched a male fan who had asked him for an autograph, and knocked him to the ground. Multiple outlets report that Ye had already left the scene by the time officers arrived. TMZ posted its own video of the rapper “shot sometime between Wednesday night and Thursday morning.” In the clip, Ye is heard yelling, “Did y’all say that or not? Did y’all say that or not? ‘Cause that’s what happened right f–king now” to a couple of people. Earlier that night, Ye was spotted with new flame Julia Fox at West Hollywood hotspot Delilah. The 31-year-old Fox stayed at the club after West left alone.
The news comes just one day after Billboard confirmed Ye, Billie Eilish and Harry Styles were the headliners for 2022 Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival.

Jason Momoa and Lisa Bonet split after 4 years of marriage
Jason Momoa, 42, and wife Lisa Bonet, 54, announced their separation in a joint statement on Momoa’s Instagram Wednesday.
The statement read: “We have all felt the squeeze and changes of these transformational times… A revolution is unfolding and our family is of no exception… feeling and growing from the seismic shifts occurring,” the joint statement read. “And so we share our Family news that we are parting ways in marriage.”
“We share this not because we think it’s newsworthy but so that as we go about our lives we may do so with dignity and honesty,” the statement continued. “The love between us carries on, evolving in ways it wishes to be known and lived. We free each other to be who we are learning to become…”
The statement concluded, “Our devotion unwavering to this sacred life our children. Teaching our children what’s possible. Living the Prayer. May Love Prevail
J & L.”
The couple started dating in 2004 after being introduced by mutual friends at a jazz club. In July 2007, the pair had their first child, Lola, and welcomed their second child, Nakoa-Wolf, in December 2008. Bonet also shares daughter Zoë Kravitz, 33, with ex-husband Lenny Kravitz, whom she was married to from 1987-1993. While it was widely believed that Momoa and Bonet married in 2007, the couple actually were married in October 2017.

Megan Fox and Machine Gun Kelly announce their engagement
Actress Megan Fox and musician Machine Gun Kelly are engaged.
On Wednesday, Fox wrote in the caption of an Instagram post announcing the engagement: “In July of 2020 we sat under this banyan tree. We asked for magic. We were oblivious to the pain we would face together in such a short, frenetic period of time. Unaware of the work and sacrifices the relationship would require from us but intoxicated off of the love. And the karma. Somehow a year and a half later, having walked through hell together, and having laughed more than I ever imagined possible, he asked me to marry him. And just as in every lifetime before this one, and as in every lifetime that will follow it, I said yes … and then we drank each other’s blood.”
Kelly wrote on his Instagram along with a picture of the couple’s ring: “Beneath the same branches we fell in love under, I brought her back to ask her to marry me. I know tradition is one ring, but I designed it with Stephen Webster to be two: the emerald (her birth stone) and the diamond (my birth stone) set on two magnetic bands of thorns that draw together as two halves of the same soul forming the obscure heart that is our love. 1-11-2022.”
The pair met in March of 2020 while filming “Midnight in the Switchgrass,” and the couple confirmed their relationship in June 2020. This will be MGK’s first marriage, and Fox’s second. Fox was married to ‘90210’ actor Brian Austin Green for 10 years, with whom she shares three sons.
