Tupac’s murder: A search 27 years after his death!

Las Vegas police took everyone by surprise on July 18, in what is surely one of the music industry’s biggest Cold Cases, when a search took place in connection with the death of rapper Tupac Shakur… in 1996!

According to TMZ, it was a house where a suspicious firearm was found in 1998, two years after Shakur’s death. The residence was stormed by SWAT team members last Monday evening, to everyone’s surprise.

Investigators on the case have provided no details of what may have been found in the suspected residence, but ABC News reports that computers and hard drives were seized. Magazine articles about Tupac’s death were also reportedly found at the scene, in addition to photos of people who may have had a connection with the shooter.

The residence is said to be connected to Duane Keith, a gangster and member of the South Side Compton Crips (!), one of the alleged suspects in Tupac’s murder. At least, that’s what his uncle claims, and it was exactly his uncle’s house (owned by a woman) that was in the police’s sights.

The evidence gathered during the investigation should be presented before a Grand Jury, and perhaps we’ll see an arrest in this case one day!

Nobody can believe Ariana Grande is actually dating Ethan Slater (and she has been for months it seems)

Ariana Grande has dumped her husband Dalton Gomez without hesitation.

What’s more, it seems that the singer has probably already moved on, following the announcement of her separation and forthcoming divorce from Gomez, as she is now reportedly in the arms of her Wicked costar, Ethan Slater.

Now, according to a TMZ source, Grande and Slater began dating shortly after they met on the set of Wicked, which debuted last December! So we’re talking several months of dating already!

At 31, Slater is best known for his role as SpongeBob Squarepants in the musical of the same name.

Slater, who is married and had just welcomed his first child, reportedly split up at the same time as he began his relationship with Grande.

The film Wicked, starring the new lovebirds, is due for release in November 2024.

We imagine Grande’s fans can’t wait to see it… to understand.

An explosive divorce for Sofia Vergara and Joe Manganiello

The news of Sofia Vergara and Joe Manganiello’s separation finally broke earlier this week, after several days of rumors among the star’s fans on social networks, who proved to be veritable little detectives in the whole affair.

It was Manganiello’s rather laconic Instagram post marking Vergara’s 51st birthday that first set off the rumors among the star’s loyal fans!

“Happy birthday Sofia!!!” read Manganiello’s message to his wife of recent years, immediately drawing questions from his followers! It’s not the most spectacular post in history, indeed…

«Am I the only one who doesn’t like the way it sounds? Sofia…. not even My love, My beloved wife….» questioned one of the actor’s Instagram followers.

“Something’s not right. Cold message for her and two stories about her dog’s birthday. And Sofia didn’t even say thank you,” noted another fan of the star.

Well, the fan detectives were right!

Something’s been really wrong for a while now, since it’s official according to Page Six… the couple is no more… and we’re headed for an explosive divorce!

“We’ve made the difficult decision to divorce,” the stars confirmed afterwards, even though many of the details leading up to the split had already been apparent for several months.

Notably, over the past year, the couple had put the house up for sale… a major clue.

Then, Manganiello was progressively absent from important outings involving Sofia, including a colleague’s wedding and 4th of July celebrations.

Then, this very cold message from Joe marking Sofia’s birthday as she went off alone to Italy to celebrate her 51st birthday.

“When life gives you lemons, you come to Italy to squeeze them 😚❤️☀️”, Sofia actually wrote on Instagram during her trip, clearly indicating that something was amiss!

While it seems clear that the couple are headed for a spectacular divorce, we wish them a more cordial one than Kevin Costner’s!
