Sean Kingston sentencing postponed after guilty verdict in $1m wire fraud case
Rapper and singer Sean Kingston was supposed to be sentenced today after the Beautiful Girls singer was found guilty verdict of wire fraud with his mother Janice Turner Singer Sean Kingston has had his sentencing postponed after being found guilty of wire fraud earlier this year, along with his mother Janice Turner. The musician was supposed to find out his verdict today (July 11) but he'll now have to wait a little longer. Sean did not have a lawyer present and requested more time in order to find an attorney. The judge granted him his request and has scheduled a new court date for August 28, according to NCB 6 South Florida. The publication also stated that Sean thanked the judge and also spoke out on behalf of his mother, in order to give her more time to find a legal representative. Janice Turner's sentencing is currently scheduled for July 31. The case involved the pair falsely claiming to pay for luxury items, including cars, jewellery, and other high-value goods, by pretending to make bank transfers that were never processed. They managed to fraudulently acquire over $1 million worth of goods and money. The pair's trial took place from March 24 to March 28 in Broward County, Florida, and concluded with the jury deliberating for approximately three and a half hours before reaching their verdict, according to reports. They convicted them of conspiracy and multiple counts of wire fraud. The charges involved defrauding a car dealership out of $160,000 (£123,000) for a Cadillac Escalade, stealing nearly $500,000 (£386,000) worth of jewellery, and obtaining other goods like a custom bed valued at $86,000 (£66,000) without paying for them. Since the trial, the 35-year-old has been under house arrest with an electronic tag and had to pay a bond to be released from jail, while his mother Janice has remained in federal custody. This isn't the first time Sean or Janice have faced trouble with the law after she had previously been convicted of bank fraud back in 2006 and served almost 18 months in prison. Kingston was already on probation for a previous crime when he was arrested in this case. Sean rose to fame due to his 2007 debut single Beautiful Girls, which reached the top of the Billboard Hot 100 chart at the time. He then went on to release a number of singles including Fire Burning, Eenie Meenie and Letting Go (Dutty Love), and has collaborated with artists including Justin Bieber, Soulja Boy and Sean Paul.

Punjabi Pop Star Burrah Releases Debut EP ‘Letting Go' Featuring Kyun Raatan Nu; Deets Inside
Burrah's debut EP Letting Go is a raw, genre-defying musical journey through heartbreak, healing, and identity. Now streaming on all platforms via Warner Music India. Punjabi pop artist and songwriter Burrah has unveiled his long-awaited debut EP, Letting Go, a deeply personal and genre-bending exploration of vulnerability and transformation. Released in collaboration with Warner Music India, the three-track record features the evocative singles 'Kyun Raatan Nu," 'Je Tu Hundi Naal," and 'Khuli Hawa." Each track is a chapter from Burrah's own emotional evolution—woven together with global sounds, rich Punjabi melodies, and a fearless honesty that's rare in today's music. The EP brings together a diverse lineup of collaborators including Zero Chill, Jizzy, GNDHI, and Yogic, who help craft a sound that blurs the lines between R&B, jazz, trap, neo-soul, and Punjabi folk music. It's a blend that feels both intimate and expansive—rooted in tradition but unafraid to experiment. 'I felt lost, like I was living a life that wasn't truly mine, just something expected of me," Burrah reflects. 'Letting Go is my journey back to myself. Each track represents a moment of release, heartbreak, reflection, and finally, freedom. It's about shedding the layers, embracing who I really am, and no longer pretending. This EP is more than music, it's me stepping into my truth." Sonically, Letting Go is a bold step forward. 'Kyun Raatan Nu" intertwines traditional instruments with atmospheric beats, offering a melancholic yet catchy soundscape. 'Je Tu Hundi Naal" dives into jazz fusion with lush arrangements, while 'Khuli Hawa" serves as an anthem of emotional release and self-renewal—uplifting and feather-light. Before stepping fully into music, Burrah made his mark as a content creator, writing over 70 comedy sketches and contributing to cult-favorite web series like Flames and Engineering Girls under the TVF banner. His transition into music was as fearless as his lyrics. He gained widespread recognition with the viral anthem Dilli De Sardar Boys and reached new heights after his standout performance of Main Sochi Jawan on MTV Hustle 3. Burrah also holds the distinction of being the first Punjabi artist to perform at both Lollapalooza and Magnetic Fields in 2022, delivering genre-defining tracks like Kaloli, Bliss, and Kinu Mai Sunaava. In 2023, his performance of Udja for Coke Studio Bharat further cemented his place in the indie music landscape. What sets Burrah apart, however, is not just his music, but his emotional resonance. Known for cultivating a deep bond with his listeners, he treats his fanbase like family—offering a space for honest conversations, healing, and shared experiences. With Letting Go, Burrah isn't just making music—he's creating a movement rooted in truth, pain, and artistic freedom. The EP is now available on all major streaming platforms.

And Just Like That recap: Yikes. It's time for Aidan to go
At least Carrie calls it 'so male' and 'medieval' when we learn that, in Aidan's version of the terms of their 'let's not see each other for five years but still be together' agreement, Carrie would abstain from sex with anyone but him. She can't comprehend 'why we haven't had this discussion until now'. Girl! Same! It's been months! A glimpse of our girl emerges in this scene, and in the next, when she keeps her bra on during sex. That's our Carrie. Seema says goodbye to her driver and finds Miranda a great apartment. Before her now-official-girlfriend Joy meets Brady, she says she doesn't like kids. It takes five seconds of Brady being sweet to her dogs for that to change. A whisper of conflict, dissolved in two seconds: the And Just Like That story. Moving right along. While heading to the cancer centre to see Harry, Charlotte runs into Bitsy von Muffling, living proof that women can be fab and funny over 50 and that the writers don't have total amnesia about the original series. She's just as wacky and thirsty to climb the social ladder as ever. Honestly, I'd love an Ab Fab -style spin-off following her demanding that Tiffany's buys her breakfast – and lunch and dinner – for all she spends there. I don't have time to focus on the reveal that Carrie's getting invited to influencer events because Charlotte is really struggling with Harry's diagnosis and having to keep it a secret. It's not the only tragedy in this episode: while working in the edit suite with Marion, LTW learns her father, Lawrence, had a stroke. No one could reach her while she was at work, and he's gone. Nicole Ari Parker is an incredible actor, and it's lovely to watch her at full strength, especially as she goes toe-to-toe with Jenifer Lewis as Lucille Highwater, 'failed actress turned general manager of my father's theatre'. On the day of the funeral, LTW's mother-in-law, a lifelong antagonist, comes through by reassuring her that her father's spirit didn't want Lisa to see him in his final moments, gives her a precious handkerchief, and engages in a diva-off, calling Lucille 'Coretta Scott-King styled by Liberace'. LTW leans on Herbert to make it through the eulogy – which must be her second, considering in season one of AJLT, in the wake of Big's death, Lisa told Charlotte she'd lost her dad the previous year. By season two, he showed up at a party, played by Billy Dee Williams. Now his funeral is a major plot point of a season three episode. It's not fun to nitpick, but if AJLT can't even keep straight the details of who is alive, how can we trust them with the little stuff? The episode ends with Charlotte's emotional dam wall bursting, and finally sharing Harry's diagnosis with Carrie, soundtracked by Letting Go by Melbourne's own Angie McMahon. I'm so grateful for this moment, grounded in the friendship between these women. We needed it.

Novak Djokovic on Sleep, Wellness, and Living Longer
At Amanruya, Novak Djokovic doesn't so much arrive as he appears. Sun-kissed, sinewy, and swathed in serene energy, he moves through the property not like a man checking into a wellness retreat, but like someone who's just emerged from one: spiritually exfoliated, energetically alkaline, and positively glowing. And he has every right to be. The 24-time Grand Slam champion, spiritual seeker, father, and Aman global wellness ambassador is now playing his most elegant long game yet: redefining what high-performance living actually looks like. (Spoiler alert: it involves frankincense, tree hugging, and a sea-facing massage.) 'There's something about Aman,' Djokovic tells me, his voice low and even, a kind of vocal yoga. 'You arrive and your nervous system just…lets go. I've been to so many places, but there's an energy to this one that feels sacred.' We're huddled under a pergola in his suite sitting across from one another as the Aegean Sea shimmers in the distance and cedar trees sway in the breeze. It's a scene so idyllic, so tonally Aman, that if he offered me a pressed juice and asked me to recite my intentions, I might just do it. When I ask how clothing plays into his rhythm—on and off the court—Djokovic leans in, half amused, half philosophical. 'I do think about it,' he says. 'When you're in the public eye—in front of cameras, representing your sponsors, your team, your country—there's an unspoken language in how you show up. I feel most myself in sporting gear or smart casual. Clean. Comfortable. No distractions.' And scent? If his tennis game were a perfume, I ask, what would it smell like? He smiles. 'Frankincense on a good day. Cinnamon bark if it's aggressive.' Sometimes citrus. Sometimes lavender. The man is a walking apothecary of intention. 'It depends on how I want to feel,' he adds. 'The oils help me shift energy.' A bespoke Djokovic essential oil blend is, let it be said—a billion-dollar idea waiting to happen. Novak's commitment to wellness goes far beyond the spa. It's in his breathwork, his books (he recently reread Letting Go and dipped into his wife Jelena's soon-to-be-released memoir), and his cheeky confession that yes—he hugs trees. 'My family thinks I'm crazy,' he laughs. 'But there's real science in the grounding. Nature is the ultimate healer.' He swims in the sea to recover. He prays. He rises with the sun. And when asked what's on his 'wellness playlist,' he doesn't mention music—instead, he cites a sauna, a Regenesis pod, and a hydration chamber. Somewhere in Los Angeles, Gwyneth Paltrow is taking notes. If Aman is synonymous with stillness, then Novak is its most elegant disruptor—bringing movement into the equation, with a new kind of grace. His collaboration with Aman Essentials—including the recent Tennis Club concept—surprised even him. 'When I first heard Aman was entering the tennis world, I was curious,' he admits. 'But it makes perfect sense. It's not about fashion. It's about feeling good in your body and living with intention.' Their shared value? Self-respect. Not in the form of ego, but care—how you feed yourself, how you move, and how you rest. 'Aman understands this,' he says. 'It's not just about luxury. It's about harmony.' As we talk about his upcoming Aman retreat, I ask him to describe his ideal day of self-care. No cameras. No rankings. Just sunrise to moonlight, on his terms. He begins, of course, with sleep. 'A good night's sleep is everything.' Then: hydration, prayer, breathwork. Movement. Nature. A beach swim or a mountain hike—'[it] depends on the season.' Family time. A proper sauna-steam-ice-massage circuit. And a sunset dinner with relaxing music and 'good, clean food.' The vibe? Warm and restorative. 'People think wellness is complicated,' he says, sinking deeper into his seat. 'But it's really about remembering who you are—and returning to that. Again and again.' Novak Djokovic, ladies and gentlemen: tennis legend, tree whisperer, and—dare we say it—our new favorite wellness guru.
