Breezy Is Free : Chris Brown Granted Bail By London Court
According to BBC, Chris Brown was let out on bail this week after being charged with seriously hurting someone in a London nightclub last year.
The person he's accused of attacking is music producer Abe Diaw. Brown had been in custody for a short time, but now he's been released while the case moves forward. This all happened right before his big summer tour, and fans were worried it might be canceled. With the R&B superstar out on bail, it looks like the shows are still happening. His first concert, called the Breezy Bowl, is scheduled for June 8 and will kick off the tour.
Not much has been shared about what went down in the club, but the charge he's facing is pretty serious. Even though the case isn't over, Brown's team says he's working with the authorities and is staying focused on his music and upcoming shows.
After being released on bail, his 'Breezy Bowl XX' tour is kicking off as planned. The first show starts June 8, 2025, in Amsterdam, and he'll be performing all across Europe until July 5, ending in Paris. Then he's heading to North America, starting July 30 in Miami. Fans can look forward to big performances and special guests like Summer Walker and Bryson Tiller.

BBC faces criticism over delay in paying court-ordered damages to Gerry Adams
The BBC has been criticised for not yet having paid court-ordered damages to former Sinn Fein president Gerry Adams. The corporation lost a major defamation case earlier this year after Mr Adams took them to court over a 2016 episode of its Spotlight programme and an accompanying online story. They contained an allegation that Mr Adams sanctioned the killing of former Sinn Fein official Denis Donaldson. Mr Adams denied any involvement. In May, a jury at the High Court in Dublin found in his favour and awarded him 100,000 euros (£84,000) after determining that was the meaning of words included in the programme and article. The BBC, which was found by the jury not to have acted in good faith nor in a fair and reasonable way, was also ordered to pay the former Sinn Fein leader's legal costs. Adam Smyth, director of BBC NI, expressed disappointment in the verdict and said the corporation believes it supplied extensive evidence to the court of the careful editorial process and journalistic diligence applied to the programme and accompanying online article. After the decision, the broadcaster's legal team was granted a stay in the payment of the full award as it took time to consider an appeal, subject to paying half the damages (50,000 euros or £42,000) and 250,000 euros (£210,000) towards solicitors' fees. In June, the BBC confirmed it would not pursue an appeal. However, it is understood that by August 1 the BBC had not paid the damages. Mr Adams previously indicated that he planned to donate what he receives to good causes. He specified that these would include for children in Gaza as well as groups in the Irish language sector and those who are homeless. A source close to Mr Adams told the PA news agency: 'The delay by the BBC is deplorable and it should move speedily towards discharging the order of the court.' A BBC spokesperson said: 'Total costs will be finalised and payable in due course.'

BBC launches investigation into Strictly Come Dancing ‘drug use'
The BBC is investigating two Strictly Come Dancing stars for alleged drug use during their time on the show, it has been reported. The unnamed individuals are said to have regularly used cocaine, with their behaviour widely talked about among the programme's team, according to The Sun. The allegations were first made to the BBC in March of this year by a legal team at the firm Russells, acting on behalf of a former celebrity contestant. According to the report, the BBC has hired law firm Pinsent Masons to lead the investigation. It is not unusual for an external team to be hired to work on a BBC-led investigation, who then report back to an internal team at the company. Other individuals are also said to have complained about drug use on the beleaguered programme. 'We have clear protocols and policies in place for dealing with any serious complaint raised with us,' a BBC spokesperson told The Independent. 'We would always encourage people to speak to us if they have concerns. It would not be appropriate for us to comment further.' The news comes at a difficult time for the programme, which has been hit with repeated scandals and controversies over recent months. Professional dancer Giovanni Pernice was investigated for his behaviour towards one of the show's celebrity contestants, Sherlock star Amanda Abbington, after she said she was subjected to a 'toxic environment' and 'inappropriate, mean, nasty bullying' in September 2023. The outcome of a BBC review in September 2024 resulted in no findings relating to physical aggression but upheld accusations of swearing and giving negative feedback. Pro dancer Graziano Di Prima was also dropped from the show in July 2024 amid allegations about his behaviour towards Love Island star Zara McDermott. This was then followed by controversy surrounding the conduct of GoCompare opera singer Wynne Evans, who apologised for 'inappropriate and unacceptable' remarks made during the Strictly live tour in December last year. EastEnders actor Jamie Borthwick was also suspended from the BBC in June this year after he was accused of using an offensive term towards people with disabilities during his time on the programme. He apologised and said the terminology was 'entirely unacceptable'. Strictly implemented new rules in an effort to prevent further issues, including adopting chaperones during training sessions. Welfare producers were also added to the team, and training was provided for dancers, production team, and crew.

Where is Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins filmed in 2025? Inside the rugged Welsh location and why it was chosen
The new series of Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins has been filmed in the "home" of the SAS, according to the show's professional trainers, and will see the celebs face the "hardest course yet". Speaking to the BBC, the show's chief instructor Billy Billingham opened up about the filming location of the latest celebrity series – starting tonight (Sunday 3 August) – which is in Wales for the first time. Ahead of the premiere on Channel 4 at 9pm, we've taken a deep dive into the location of Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins 2025 to find out more about this breathtakingly rugged landscape, and why it was chosen for the series. Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins 2025 was filmed in Anglesey, which is an island off the northwest coast of Wales. "It's beautiful, of course, but it's unforgiving. It's a great test ground," chief instructor Billy said of the new location on BBC Radio Wales. "You can have four seasons in one day." Adding to that, a Channel 4 press release described the filming location as the "hardest course yet" for the celebrity contestants. "The elite team of ex-Special Forces soldiers are taking these famous faces to Wales," the press release noted. Wales marks the "home of the first phase" of this SAS series, and there the contestants will "be stripped of their home comforts, families, agents and social media." "It's a birthplace of the special forces, the SAS, where we do all our training in Wales," Billy added of the location. For that reason, Billy says he and the other staffers have been wanting the show to "come home". "We've been wanting to come home, as we call it, for a long time," he explained, adding that Wales' rugged landscape and often harsh weather is a "test in itself" for the contestants. "It sounds exotic to go to New Zealand and Australia and all these places," Billy went on. "But it was great to come home. It offers everything we want." Previously, one season of the civilian edition was filmed in Wales, but this is the first time that the celebrities will be heading to Cymru for their SAS training. For other seasons, the show has taken contestants across the globe, filming everywhere from Scotland to Morocco, Chile, Vietnam and New Zealand. This year there's a new list of celebs taking on the SAS challenge on Channel 4. Here's who will be competing in Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins 2025... Head here for more on the Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins cast, and our verdict on the contestant most likely to win. Holiday to Anglesey, anyone?
