Richard Shotwell/Invision/AP Sean "Diddy" Combs is scheduled to be sentenced on Friday, Oct.3 Federal prosecutors have asked that Combs be sentenced to at least 11 years and three months in prison for his convictions for transportation to engage in prostitution Combs' attorneys have urged Judge Arun Subramanian to sentence the former hip-hop mogul, 55, to no longer than 14 months in prison ​​Just over three months after he was found guilty of two prostitution related charges,Sean "Diddy" Combsis scheduled to be sentenced on Friday, Oct. 3. Federal prosecutors have asked that Combs be sentenced to at least11 years and three monthsin prison for the two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution he wasfound guilty of in July. Combs' attorneys have urged Judge Arun Subramanian to sentence the former hip-hop mogul, 55,to no longer than 14 months in prison, only a few months more than the time he has already served in jail since his arrest in September 2024. Neama Rahmani, a former federal prosecutor, believes that Combs, who was acquitted of the more serious charges of sex trafficking and racketeering conspiracy during an eight-week trial, will most likely get a sentence between 4 and 5 years. "I don't think he's getting the 11 years that the government is recommending," he tells PEOPLE. "That is more than the statutory max for the prostitution counts." Elizabeth Williams via AP The prostitution related offenses carry maximum sentences of 10 years each, Rahmani says, adding that the Probation Department recommended 5 to 7 years in prison. "If the judge was so inclined he would've released him on bail after the verdict," he adds. "The fact that he kept him detained, even though he was acquitted of a more serious racketeering and sex trafficking counts, leads me to believe that he's going to impose a sentence. Maybe not the full amount the government is asking for, but a split the baby type sentence. So that's why I think five years ends up being in the middle." Rahmani says the judge can consider "other relevant conduct" when making his decision. Want to keep up with the latest crime coverage?

"We're talking about the violence. Even though he was acquitted of running a criminal enterprise and forcing these women to have sex through coercion. Now there's a lot of bad evidence that came out with respect to violence and drug use. So, I think the judge is going to treat this like more than just a simple prosecution case." Combs wasdenied acquittal and a new trialon Tuesday, Sept. 30. "The government proved its case many times over. That by itself might be enough to dispose of Combs's challenge," Subramanian wrote in court documents obtained by PEOPLE. In aletter ahead of his sentencing, Combs' exCasandra "Cassie" Ventura, who alleged during trial that he abused her during their decade-long relationship, asked the judge to consider "the many lives that Sean Combs has upended with his abuse and control."

Country Star Details Heart-Stopping Near Miss With 'The No. 1 Apex Predator on Earth'New Foto - Country Star Details Heart-Stopping Near Miss With 'The No. 1 Apex Predator on Earth'

One country music star is opening up about looking danger in the eye with his wife during a recent trip to one of the country's illustrious national parks. Tyler RichandSabina Gadecki, most recently known for her role as Carla onFire Country, were hiking in Yellowstone to celebrate their anniversary, as he detailed in a new interview withTaste of Country, when the two came face-to-face with an angry bear he swears was the size of a car. The two were out on their own on a couple of ATVs at the time, with Rich believing that they were just "seconds away from being mauled" by the "Volkswagen-sized grizzly" who stood a mere 20 yards away with her two cubs. "I just froze," he admitted. "I didn't know what to do. I had like 20 ideas, but in that moment, you are just, like, humbled." He pointed out ot his wife at the time, "A momgrizzly bearthat thinks her cubs are threatened is the number one apex predator on the Earth." Thankfully, the bear and her cubs chose flight over fight, and though the couple's path out of the wilderness happened to be the same trail—in the same direction—where the creatures had run off, they never had to find out what defending themselves from an apex predator would be like. It also alleviated the couple's internal battles over going to war with the bear to protect their loved one, which Rich and interviewerEvan Pauljoked would have been "a romantic way to die"—something Gadecki also noted at the time. "She said, 'You know, it might have been like a sweet ending,'" Rich shared. The "Better Than You're Used To" singer, of course, felt that he "obviously would have just ran straight at the bear so she could get away," while the actress "was like, 'No,Iwould run at the bear.'" They can both rest easy knowing neither of them had to run at the bear. We presume the encounter—or lack thereof—happened relatively recently, asthe two have been married since September of 2019, andrecently shared footage from a road trip together on Instagram, though the specific date wasn't shared by the country crooner. Rich just kicked off his Leaving California Tour, which will take him throughout a small handful of areas of the country this fall. Luckily, Bear Country isn't one of them.

Kylie Kelce Breaks Down Crying Sharing Details About Her Miscarriage: 'Everything Went Into Slow Motion'New Foto - Kylie Kelce Breaks Down Crying Sharing Details About Her Miscarriage: 'Everything Went Into Slow Motion'

Not Gonna Lie with Kylie Kelce/YouTube; Mike Coppola/Getty Kylie Kelce had an emotional episode of herNot Gonna Liepodcast on Oct. 2 She opened up about her 2018 miscarriage before welcoming daughter Wyatt, sharing that she learned of the loss on husband Jason Kelce's birthday The moment came after the couple had already found special ways to tell Jason's family including Donna, Ed and Travis Kelce, that they were expecting Kylie Kelcegot personal and emotional on the Thursday, Oct. 2 episode of herNot Gonna Liepodcast. In honor of October beingPregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Month, the mother of four opened up about theheartbreaking miscarriageshe suffered before welcoming her first daughter,Wyatt, with husbandJason Kelce. Noting that her first positive pregnancy test came in August 2018, Kylie, 33, shared that she went to the doctor at six weeks pregnant. While the baby was measuring a few days small, everything else appeared normal. She and Jason, 37, traveled to London, where the Philadelphia Eagles played a game ahead of her 12-week appointment, so she planned a visit when she returned. And while in London, they shared the news with Jason's family. "We made it a point to surprise Jason's mom and dad when we were there by pretending to take a photo and telling them that we were expecting," Kylie shared ofDonnaandEd Kelce, getting choked up. "We surprised Jason's mom and dad with a video. We also surprised Jason's Aunt Judy and his grandmother, Grandma Mary. When we were in Cleveland, we surprised [Jason's brother]Traviswith little baby booties. All of these interactions were recorded for memory purposes." Kylie Kelce/Instagram Throughout the retelling, Kylie was audibly emotional, pausing multiple times to compose herself. "I emphasize the fact that this still hurts after having four children, because it does. And it's okay," Kylie, who is mom to daughters Wyatt, 6, Elliotte, 4, Bennett, 2, and Finn, 6 months, said.

Kylie then recalled going to her doctor's appointment when she learned that she had miscarried. "It felt like everything went into slow motion," she said. "And they could not find the baby on the doppler." The Philadelphia native shared that while the nurse gave possible alternatives as to why they couldn't locate the baby, she knew she'd lost her child. Kylie Kelce/Instagram "I remember being like, 'Oh, there isn't a heartbeat. You didn't find one because there isn't one,' " she said. "They estimated that the baby had stopped developing between, I believe it was nine and 10 weeks. Essentially, I had had what you would refer to as a missed miscarriage. It means that your body did not realize that the pregnancy was no longer viable." Adding to the sadness of the moment was the fact that this happened on Jason's birthday. Lisa Lake/Getty "It was a s----- day because it was Jason's birthday," Kylie shared, continuing to cry. "I called my mom and told her that I couldn't tell Jason because it was his birthday, which seems very silly. It seems very silly because obviously I'm going to tell my husband what happened. And I did. And it was hard for both of us." Kylie noted that the experience of miscarrying her first pregnancy made future pregnancies a challenge for her mentally. "Having had that experience then messed with my brain for every consecutive pregnancy," she admitted. "So for Wyatt, we did not share that we were pregnant until I was after 20 weeks. For consecutive pregnancies, I waited till I was at least 16 weeks. I Googled almost every week what the percentage likelihood was that a baby could survive, which sounds really dark. I literally did it for Finn." Read the original article onPeople

Death Toll Rises To 72 After Powerful Earthquake In The Central PhilippinesNew Foto - Death Toll Rises To 72 After Powerful Earthquake In The Central Philippines

At least 72 people have died from the magnitude-6.9 earthquake that hit the central Philippines Tuesday. On Thursday, local officials said nearly 300 people were left injured. Disaster officials said there have not been reports of additional missing people. More than 170,000 people were affected, including many who have refused to return home because they were traumatized and fearful of aftershocks. The earthquake damaged or destroyed 87 buildings and nearly 600 houses in Bogo, a relatively new and progressive coastal city of about 90,000, and outlying towns. Bridges and concrete roads were damaged and a seaport in Bogo collapsed The quake was triggered around 10 p.m. by a shallow undersea fault line that Filipino seismologists said has not moved for at least 400 years. President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. flew to Bogo Thursday to assess the damage and offer aid and support to survivors while mourning with families of the victims. Just days ago, the president was in the central region after a fierce storm left at least 37 people dead and lashed more than half a million people, including in Cebu province. CCTV footage captured some of the initial, terrifying moments during the quake, as buildings swayed violently and families rushed to safety. Calape sits in the central Philippines, not far from Cebu City, one of the country's largest metropolitan hubs. It's also relatively close to Tacloban, which many remember as the city devastated by Super Typhoon Haiyan in 2013. The region is also a popular tourist destination, with Bohol known for its Chocolate Hills and white-sand beaches. Deaths also were reported from the outlying towns of Medellin and San Remigio, where three coast guard personnel, a firefighter and a child were killed separately by collapsing walls and falling debris while trying to flee to safety from a basketball game in a sports complex that was disrupted by the quake, town officials said. The earthquake was one of the most powerful to batter the central region in more than a decade and it struck while many people slept or were at home. The Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology briefly issued a tsunami warning and advised people to stay away from the coastlines of Cebu and the nearby provinces of Leyte and Biliran due to possible waves of up to 3 feet. No such waves were reported and the tsunami warning was lifted more than three hours later, but thousands of traumatized residents refused to return home and chose to stay in open grassy fields and parks overnight despite intermittent rains. The Philippines lies along the seismically active boundaries of the Philippine Sea Plate, which has produced some of the world's deadliest earthquakes and tsunamis. Among them: the 1976 Moro Gulf earthquake and tsunami that killed more than 5,000 people, and the 1990 Luzon earthquake, which left 2,400 dead. The Associated Press contributed to this report.

Israeli strikes kill dozens in Gaza as Hamas considers its response to Trump's peace proposalNew Foto - Israeli strikes kill dozens in Gaza as Hamas considers its response to Trump's peace proposal

DEIR AL-BALAH, Gaza Strip (AP) — Israeli strikes and gunfire overnight and into Thursday killed at least 41 Palestinians in the Gaza Strip, according to hospitals, as Hamas was still considering its response toU.S. President Donald Trump's proposalfor ending thenearly two-year war. The plan requires Hamas to return all 48 hostages — about 20 of them thought by Israel to be alive — give up power and disarm in return for the release of hundreds of Palestinian prisoners and an end to fighting. However, the proposal, which has been accepted by Israeli Prime MinisterBenjamin Netanyahu, sets no path to Palestinian statehood. Palestinians long for the war to end but many believe the plan favors Israel, and a Hamas official told The Associated Press that some elements were unacceptable, without elaborating. Qatar and Egypt, two key mediators, said it requires more negotiations on certain elements. Israel intercepts activist aid flotilla At least 27 people were killed by Israeli fire in southern Gaza, according to Nasser Hospital, which received the bodies. Officials there said 14 of them were killed in an Israeli military corridor where there have beenfrequent shootings around the distribution of humanitarian aid. Officials at Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital in the central city of Deir al-Balah said they had received 13 dead from Israeli strikes. In Gaza City, health officials at Shifa Hospital said they received one body and several wounded people, adding that its staff are having difficulties reaching the hospital as Israel wagesa major offensive aimed at occupying the city. Israel has meanwhile intercepted most of about 40 vessels in awidely watched flotillacarrying a symbolic amount of humanitarian aid for Palestinians and aiming to break Israel's 18-year blockade of Gaza, according to organizers. Israel's Foreign Ministry said on social media that activists on board – including several European lawmakers – were safe and were being taken to Israel to begin "procedures" for their deportation. Awaiting word from Hamas A senior Hamas official told The Associated Press on Wednesday that some points in the proposal agreed upon byDonald Trumpand Netanyahu are unacceptable and must be amended, without elaborating. He said the official response will only come after consultations with other Palestinian factions. Speaking on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to talk to the media about the ongoing talks, the official said Hamas had conveyed its concerns to Qatar and Egypt. The Hamas-led attack on southern Israel on Oct. 7, 2023 that triggered the war killed some 1,200 people while 251 others were abducted. Most of the hostages have been freed under previous ceasefire deals. The Trump plan would guarantee the flow of humanitarian aid and promises reconstruction in Gaza, placing its more than 2 million Palestinians under international governance. Mounting toll in Gaza Israel's campaign in Gaza has killed more than 66,200 Palestinians and wounded nearly 170,000 others, according to Gaza's Health Ministry. The ministry does not differentiate between civilians and militants in its toll, but has said women and children make up around half the dead. The ministry is part of the Hamas-run government. U.N. agencies and many independent experts view its figures as the most reliable estimate of wartime casualties. Around 400,000 Palestinians have fledfamine-stricken Gaza Citysince Israel launched a major offensive there last month. On Thursday morning, smoke could be seen in northern Gaza and people were fleeing the area headed south. Israel's defense minister on Wednesday ordered all remaining Palestinians to leave Gaza City, saying it was their "last opportunity" and that anyone who stayed would be considered a militant supporter. While Hamas' military capabilities have been vastly depleted, it stillcarries out sporadic attacks. On Wednesday, at least seven projectiles were launched into Israel from Gaza, but all were either intercepted or fell in open areas, with no reports of casualties, the Israeli military said. ___ Mroue reported from Beirut.

Part of drug lord's ranch, famous for "cocaine hippos," given to conflict victims

Colombia has handed over a chunk of deceased drug lord Pablo Escobar's ranch, famous for its"cocaine" hippos, to women caught up in the country's armed conflict, President Gustavo Petro said Wednesday. Escobar, once head of the powerful Medellin Cartel, was one of the richest men on the planet in the late 1980s, with Forbes magazine estimating his fortune at $25 billion. His lavish 10,000-acre Hacienda Napoles estate in northwest Antioquia department, which he filled with exotic animals, including hippos, became a symbol of his power and wealth. After he was shot dead by police in 1993, the state took over the estate and leased it to local authorities, who turned it into a successful theme park, complete with a hotel and zoo. Petro said that part of the estate had now been handed over to victims of Colombia's more-than-six-decade armed conflict between left-wing guerrillas, drug cartels, right-wing paramilitaries and the state. "We have begun to recover the Napoles estate for the victims,"Petro wrote on X, adding that Escobar's "political and economic heirs wanted to take over the estate." The government said that 297 acres of land had been given to local women farmers. The women received a loan of the land from the local Puerto Triunfo municipality in 2017, but according to the national government, were later evicted by the police. "I feel very happy because today there are women who have hope, who have land for life," Millinery Correa, one of the beneficiaries, said in a video shared by the state-run National Land Agency. Land ownership has been a key driver of Colombia's conflict. In May, Petro had asked that Escobar's estate be included in a land reform program, under which thousands of hectares of land, including some properties previously owned by drug traffickers, be given to rural Colombians. Tourism companies operating at Hacienda Napoles had protested the plan to break up the estate, pointing to its role in attracting tourists to the region. Hacienda Napoles is famous for the replica plane that he mounted over the entrance gate -- an emblem, since removed, of the planeloads of drugs he smuggled into the United States -- as well as itshippo population. Escobar brought a small number of the African beasts to Colombia in the late 1980s. After his death theanimals were left to roam freelybeyond the estate's boundaries and to multiply. They now number around 150. Colombia has declared them aninvasive speciesand experts previously said sterilization alone is not enough to control the growth of the invasive species, which is why the government is arranging for the possibletransfer of hipposto overseas sanctuaries. But the cost of deporting the hippos is also expensive — an estimated$3.5 million. The area where they roam is a paradise for the animals who have no predators and ample food and water, CBS News correspondent Manuel Bojorquezreported in 2019. But they're getting too close to people. It's not uncommon to spot a three-ton hippo walking around town.

Videogame publisher EA's $55 billion buyout turns spotlight on gaming IP diversificationNew Foto - Videogame publisher EA's $55 billion buyout turns spotlight on gaming IP diversification

By Zaheer Kachwala (Reuters) -Electronic Arts' record $55 billion leveraged buyout by Saudi Arabia's sovereign wealth fund and two other firms marks a turning point in the videogame industry, as companies look to capitalize on intellectual property through media crossovers. Despite being the largest entertainment industry in the world, the videogame market is undergoing a post-pandemic downturn as consumers rein in spending in response to higher prices, forcing companies and executives to think of other ways to leverage successful IP. One way they're doing that is through other types of media - like film and television. Acquiring EA means the company's incoming owners, Silver Lake, Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund (PIF) and Jared Kushner's Affinity Partners, get their hands on properties including "Battlefield", "Apex Legends" and "The Sims." Other companies of late have found success in translating wildly popular video games into film and television franchises, whereas in decades past, such adaptations - such as 2005's "Doom" or 2009's "Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li" - often received poor reviews and stumbled at the box office. The global success of Sony's "The Last of Us" television series in 2023 spurred Hollywood studios and gaming publishers to greenlight the film and TV adaptations of popular videogame intellectual properties. Those include Amazon Prime's "Fallout" series, a new season of Riot Games' "Arcane", Warner Bros' "A Minecraft Movie", and sequels toNintendo's "Super Mario Bros" film and the "Mortal Kombat" movie. "Call of Duty" is also expected to be adapted for the big screen in a Paramount Skydance production. EA, which is gearing up to launch the highly anticipated "Battlefield 6", already announced plans last year to partner with Amazon's MGM Studios to produce a film based on its simulation role-playing game, "The Sims". "The direction of travel is clear in the longer term, and the value of high-end video gaming IP is only increasing as players continue to concentrate engagement among fewer, more popular franchises and games," Raymond James analysts said. PIF's gaming arm, Savvy Games Group, has bought or made major investments in other video game companies such as Take-Two Interactive and Nintendo and has also bet big on growing other entertainment sectors, having signed deals to expand cinemas in the kingdom and taking a stake in Japanese animation firm Toei Co. "The PIF has shown heightened interest in entertainment assets with prominent positions in popular culture. I would expect them to be more focused on digital media and less on print media, or traditional film and TV delivery models like linear television and movie theaters," said Jon Wakelin, Partner at tech strategy consulting firm Altman Solon. Experts say that while paying hefty amounts to own large IP could benefit in the long run, high production and development costs could pose a financial risk if it is not deployed appropriately. For example, Swedish videogame group Embracer went on an acquisition spree over the last three to four years, buying up dozens of smaller studios and beefing up its portfolio of games. However, poor critical reviews for big titles and canceled projects hit the firm, leading to a three-way split of the company last year. "Consolidating IP during a down market has its short-term benefits, but more often than not, ends up running into inefficiencies and a devaluation," said Joost van Dreunen, games professor at NYU Stern School of Business.
