Jailed rap star Kodak Black scored a legal victory Friday when a Florida judge dismissed his drug charge linked to his Dec. 7 arrest for possession of a substance deemed “cocaine” at the scene but was actually oxycodone through subsequent lab testing. Black, whose legal name is Bill Kapri, submitted a prescription for the oxycodone to the court prior to the ruling. Prosecutors tried, but failed, to convince the court that more was needed to substantiate the script.

Kodak Black is asking a judge to dismiss his pending drug charges in Florida after lab tests proved the white substance collected during his recent arrest was the prescription painkiller oxycodone, not cocaine. In a sworn motion filed Monday in Broward County, defense lawyer Brad Cohen says the multiplatinum-selling rapper had a legal prescription at the time of his arrest on December 7, 2023, so his charges should be stricken.

Jailed rapper Pooh Shiesty filed new court paperwork Friday claiming “ballistics and forensic evidence” prove he didn’t shoot a man in the buttocks during a botched Florida drug deal in October 2020 — thus making a recent probation report recommending a prison sentence in line with the eight years sought by prosecutors is “illogical.”
The new filing from defense lawyer Brad Cohen argues that Shiesty, whose legal name is Lontrell Williams, pleaded guilty to only a single count of firearms conspiracy in January, so it’s not fair a pre-sentencing report...

Everybody loves a comeback. Let it be from time off for a wedding, a break or in this case a bouncing new baby.
Bollywood is ready for the return of its very own queen, Rani Mukerji.
The Filmfare award winner is known for her husky voice, small stature, and the talent that can go toe to toe with some of the film industry’s heavy weights.
Mukerji will be releasing her first film, Hichki, since the birth of her daughter Adira (with Producer Aditya Chopra) in 2015. Mukerji was last seen on the silver screen as a police officer in Sardeep Sarkar’s 2014 crime thriller Mardaani.
The film, which is slated to release the 23rd of February 2018, is based on Brad Cohen’s book, Front of the Class. With Hichki, she will be seen in a positive and inspiring story about a woman who turns her biggest weakness into her greatest strengths.

The trailer of Hichki was released yesterday; it’s a film that deals with a novel concept of a woman suffering from Tourette Syndrome. As soon as the trailer was out, the internet was abuzz that it’s eerily similar to the 2008 Hollywood film Front Of The Class. It is inspired by the life of Brad Cohen, who in reality suffers from Tourette Syndrome. In both the films, the lead protagonist suffers from this condition and yet, wants to be a teacher. Both the protagonists are heard saying that teaching is the only profession they want to pursue! The similarities are too many to ignore.

Well time is nearing to Zack Snyder and Chris Nolan’s casting net catching the new Man of Steel for their reboot of Superman and now we know they want some lesser known to unknown for the coveted role of Superman/Clark Kent. I thought I would take the time put some lesser known names out there that would be good to look at for this film. I have heard of these guys but that’s my job to know these names but to many out there these are dudes they have never heard of. So without furthur ado I think the best choice from all these candidates is Henry Cavill. I think he has the look, the chin, the height, the physical attributes in spades but he also has the acting chops that you’d want in newcomer actor. So who do you like out of our list?
