D4vd Arrested In Connection With Death of 14-Year-Old Celeste Rivas

Reading Time: 2 minutes

Back in September of 2025, the body of a 14-year-old girl named Celeste Rivas was found in the trunk of an impounded car belonging to R&B singer D4vd.

On Thursday, after months of investigation, D4vd was arrested in connection with Rivas’ death.

The arrest came in dramatic fashion, with officers from the LAPD descending on D4vd’s Hollywood Hills home with guns drawn.

“We came to the home with a probable cause arrest warrant for him,” said LAPD Robbery-Homicide Division Commanding Officer Captain Scot M. Williams (per The New York Post).

“We did the best we can to keep tabs on him, but once we developed probable cause to arrest him for murder, then we were on him pretty diligently,” Captain Williams continued.

“Detectives from Los Angeles Police Department, Robbery-Homicide Division have arrested David Burke, a 21-year-old resident of Los Angeles, for the murder of Celeste Rivas. Burke is being held without bail. The case will be presented to the District Attorney’s office on Monday for filing consideration,” an LAPD release confirmed.

D4vd’s attorneys Blair Berk, Marilyn Bednarski and Regina Peter allege that the singer was arrested unlawfully, without a grand jury indictment.

“Let us be clear – the actual evidence in this case will show that David Burke did not murder Celeste Rivas Hernandez and he was not the cause of her death,” the legal team told TMZ, adding:

“There has been no indictment returned by any grand jury in this case and no criminal complaint filed.”

The lawyers added, “David has only been detained under suspicion. We will vigorously defend David’s innocence.”

In a statement, the Los Angeles DA Office said “prosecutors will review the facts and evidence to determine whether there is sufficient evidence to file charges.”

After Rivas’ dismembered body was discovered last year and identified by a tattoo, D4vd — whose real name is David Anthony Burke — quickly became the focus of the investigation.

The abandoned Tesla in which Rivas was found was registered to D4vd, but it was unclear if he had ever driven the car.

According to a Los Angeles ABC affiliate, the body had been wrapped in plastic.

The car was reportedly towed to the lot after being reported abandoned in the Hollywood Hills.

D4vd was on tour and preparing for a show in Minneapolis on the day that the body was discovered. He has yet to speak publicly on the matter.

TMZ reports that D4vd was booked into the Los Angeles County Jail this morning as he awaits arraignment.

We will have further updates on this developing story as new information becomes available.

Sydney Sweeney’s ‘Euphoria’ OnlyFans Scene Sparks Surprising …

Reading Time: 2 minutes

Following a hiatus of more than four years, Euphoria returned to HBO on Sunday night.

And in news that shouldn’t come as a surprise to anyone, the show’s third season is already generating controversy.

Specifically, viewers are taking issue with the storyline in which Sydney Sweeney’s Cassie becomes an OnlyFans model.

More specifically, they’re taking issue with the costumes that Cassie sports while filming her content.

She dresses as a dog at one point — which could obviously be interpreted as degrading — but we knew about that part from the season’s first trailer.

We got a glimpse of some of her other costumes in the promotional materials, but there was one get-up that no one expected:

In one scene that’s shown in preview clips for the upcoming episodes, Sydney is seen dressed up like a baby and sucking on a pacifier.

While her character might have been creating content that would appeal to a very specific fetish, on the show, the scene seems to be played for laughs.

Still, many viewers found the scene objectionable, and they were quick to

“Why did this girl accept the role?” one person tweeted (via Page Six). “I mean, you’re worth too much — why be a toy for people like that? Why humiliate yourself so much for a [show]?”

“Disgusting, who could ever look at this?” added another.

“How can I block an image? I literally hate it so much,” a third chimed in.

“This is a real still of Sydney Sweeney, arguably being touted by the media as the most sexy woman in the world, being displayed as a baby with a nappy and pacifier doing OnlyFans on Season 3 of Euphoria,” a fourth account wrote.

“These pedophiles are laughing at you. Are you paying for Netflix?”

(Euphoria is on HBO, not Netflix, but we get the point.)

Others were quick to defend Sydney, pointing out that Euphoria has always pushed the envelope.

“You are shocked by a show that is all about sexual fetishes and deviant sexual preferences?” one viewer asked.

“Isn’t her character an OnlyFans model or something now?” another commented.

“Like, she didn’t volunteer for this. The writers did it,” a third remarked.

At the end of the day, Sydney Sweeney is no stranger to controversy, so we’re sure she’ll weather this storm just fine.

And it would be a new season of Euphoria without some sort of minor scandal.

Katy Perry Under Police Investigation for Sexual Assault After Ruby Rose Accusations

Reading Time: 3 minutes

In the wake of Ruby Rose’s allegations, people initially weren’t sure where it would lead.

As a response, however, Katy Perry essentially called her a liar.

That’s not the end of this, however.

Police are currently investigating the alleged sexual assault.

Authorities are investigating

TMZ has confirmed that Victoria Police are investigating reports of a 2010 sexual assault in Melbourne, Australia.

Detectives are looking into the matter.

Speaking to TMZ, authorities confirmed that the incident in question went down at a licensed location in the Central Business District.

The investigation only began after Ruby Rose leveled her allegations against Perry over the weekend in a series of Threads posts.

After speaking out after more than 15 years, she then filed a a police report.

Rose explained that she had played off the alleged assault as a joke after the fact, and not reported it.

First, because reporting a sexual assault is always a miserable process with very little chance of getting justice.

Second, because Rose explains that she feels an added reluctance to report women.

And third, because Perry had helped her secure her visa after the fact.

After years of silence, the dam broke. But even then, Rose said that she was “not interesting in filing a report” against Perry.

The details of the allegations are obviously unpleasant

On Sunday, April 12, Ruby Rose wrote that Perry had once sexually assaulted her by rubbing her genitals against her face without her consent in an Australia nightclub.

Specifically, Rose phrased this as accusing Perry of having “rubbed her disgusting vagina on my face.”

(We recall a celebrity defamation lawsuit in which the court heard testimony about the odor and flavor of one individual’s genitals, so this case could get ugly if Perry takes Rose’s challenge and sues.)

According to the actress, this came to an abrupt halt when Rose, who was at the time in her early 20s, vomited.

Perry has, through a spokesperson, denied that the incident took place, referring to Rose’s allegation as “reckless lies.”

In a reply, Ruby Rose spared no detail in sharing her accusation regarding Katy Perry. (Image Credit: Threads)

“The allegations being circulated on social media by Ruby Rose about Katy Perry are not only categorically false,” the statement to TMZ began.

Perry’s statement continued: “They are dangerous reckless lies.”

As the rep continued, they added: “Ms. Rose has a well-documented history of making serious public allegations on social media against various individuals.”

Perry’s representative added that these are “claims that have repeatedly been denied by those named.”

Meanwhile, Rose has shared that she is no longer at liberty to speak abut the case — because it is an active investigation.

Here, Ruby Rose thanked fans for “seeing” her as she shared her allegation. (Image Credit: Threads)

After so many years, what could police find?

The nightclub where this alleged sexual assault took place is no longer even operational.

Even if it were, it’s unclear if an establishment would keep security footage for over fifteen years — if they had it in the first place.

(Few people would flock to a nightclub that trains security cameras on the guests. It’s not a casino.)

However, Rose’s initial thread of posts to Meta’s attempt to replace the late, great Twitter did claim that there were witnesses.

If police speak to these witnesses, if they remember the night in question, perhaps they’ll find evidence with which to move forward. Assuming that they remember things the way that Rose does, of course.

Taylor Frankie Paul: Photos of Injuries Allegedly Sustained In Dakota Mortensen Fight …

Reading Time: 3 minutes

In the weeks since video of Taylor Frankie Paul assaulting Dakota Mortensen was made public, Paul has maintained that footage of the altercation did not tell the whole story.

Now, it appears she’s been somewhat vindicated.

In photos obtained by TMZ, Taylor and Dakota are both sporting facial injuries that were allegedly caused by one another.

That doesn’t change the fact that Taylor is on camera hurling metal barstools at Dakota. But she may have been telling the truth when she claimed she was a victim as well as an aggressor.

Whatever the case, there’s more good news for Paul, as we now know that she will not face any new criminal charges in connection with further claims made by Mortensen.

According to People, the Salt Lake County District Attorney’s Office announced on April 14 that it will not pursue charges stemming from additional alleged incidents involving Paul and Mortensen.

The office said some of the allegations fell outside the statute of limitations, while others either did not rise to the level of criminal offenses or lacked sufficient evidence and specificity to move forward.

As the DA’s office explained in letters obtained by People, some incidents lacked ‘specificity as to when and what actually occurred or corroboration.”

The office also noted that the case was reviewed by “multiple attorneys” due to Paul’s public profile.

Following the news, Paul took to social media with an emotional statement.

“Cried when I got the call. THANK YOU to those that have stood with me,” she wrote (per People).

Clearly, Taylor is grateful to those who supported her through the legal and personal turmoil of the past several weeks.

The reality star’s response reflected a sense of relief after weeks of uncertainty surrounding the investigation.

This latest decision applies only to the new allegations investigated in 2026.

As People notes, this does not change the 2023 case, in which Paul previously pleaded guilty in abeyance to aggravated assault after a separate incident involving Mortensen.

That earlier case remains a significant part of the public conversation surrounding Paul, particularly after leaked footage of the incident led ABC to cancel Taylor’s season of The Bachelorette.

For now, however, prosecutors have made clear that no new charges will be filed in connection with the most recent allegations.

And for Paul, that development appears to have brought at least some measure of relief amid what has been a deeply public and painful chapter.

“It’s sad to see the latest installment of his never-ending, desperate, attention-seeking, destructive campaign to harm Taylor without any regard for the consequences for their child,” a rep for the reality star said in a statement last month.

“Releasing an old and selectively edited video on their son’s birthday is a reprehensible attempt to distract from his own behavior.”

Hopefully, now Taylor and Dakota can both move on from this messy incident.

Prince Harry Says Royal Work ‘Killed My Mom’ In Shocking Speech

Reading Time: 3 minutes

It’s been nearly six years since Prince Harry stepped down as a working royal.

And based on his latest comments about that decision, he still has no regrets.

Harry and wife Meghan Markle are currently touring Australia, and the Duke made some surprisingly candid remarks about family, grief, and duty at one recent stop.

“I was like, ‘I don’t want this job. I don’t want this role — wherever this is headed, I don’t like it,’” Harry told a crowd at the InterEdge Summit during the third day of his tour.

“I was very much against it, and I stuck my head in the sand for years and years,” he continued (via Page Six), adding:

“And also, what would my mum want me to do? And that really changed my own perspective.”

“In my experience, loss is disorienting at any age. Grief does not disappear because we ignore it.”

Harry went on to explain that he was forever changed by the experience of mourning his mother with the eyes of the world watching his every move.

“Experiencing that as a kid while in a goldfish bowl under constant surveillance, yes, that will have its challenges. And without purpose, it can break you,” he said.

The Duke of Sussex added that he’s felt “lost, betrayed or completely powerless” many times since, but his sense of purpose has remained with him.

This, of course, is not the first time that Harry has spoken publicly about the grief he endured in the wake of his mother’s passing.

A post shared by News18.com (@cnnnews18)

In 2017, Harry gave an interview to The Telegraph that he nearly had a “complete breakdown” years after Diana’s death.

“I can safely say that losing my mom at the age of 12, and therefore shutting down all of my emotions for the last 20 years, has had a quite serious effect on not only my personal life but my work as well,” he said at the time.

As for stepping away from royal work, Harry has suggested in the past that the decision was made somewhat easier by the fact that as younger brother to the heir, he had no expectation of ever ascending to the throne.

“I took no offense, I felt nothing about it, any of it,” he wrote in his 2023 memoir.

“Every boy and girl, at least once, imagines themselves as a prince or a princess. Therefore, Spare or no Spare, it wasn’t half bad to actually be one.”

Clearly, Harry has come along way in the years since he left the UK. And to the chagrin of many of his harshest critics, it appears that he’s still confident that he made the right choice.

Farrah Abraham’s Daughter Sophia Rocks Expensive Goth Look for Prom, Divides …

Reading Time: 2 minutes

Just because Farrah Abraham’s daughter is homeschooled, that doesn’t mean she can’t get invited to prom.

Yes, a human child was educated by Farrah Abraham, but try to put those horrors out of your mind, so we can focus on the prom aspect of this story.

Sophia marked a major milestone this week, and she did it while rocking her signature style.

She showed off her look in an Instagram post in which she thanked her mom for helping make prom night memorable.

“Thank you so much mother for making this prom such an amazing, fun experience,” Sophia wrote (via Page Six).

“I’m so grateful for my beautiful, caring friends for making this very memorable night so fun. I had a blast, although as a homeschooled person i did expect prom to be a little more than just people watching with a side of dance floor.”

Farrah’s always had expensive taste, so we shouldn’t be surprised that Sophia rocked Dolce & Gabbana.

Not to be outdone as a poster, Farrah also penned a lengthy tribute to the occasion.

A post shared by Farrah Abraham (@farrahabraham)

“The journey of being a present parent for @sophialabraham 2026 Prom was fun! Unexpected since she’s home schooled & much different then my prom ( in my book),” Farrah wrote, adding:

“I’m very proud of Sophia & the ladies in her group (no new friends & no broke boys) just being the Queens of value you are! Being you is enough.”

Warning teenagers about the dangers of “new friends” and “broke boys” probably isn’t the greatest thing, but if you made a list of Farrah’s biggest parenting fails, it wouldn’t even crack the top 1,000.

“As a teen mom to give Sophia ‘the prom experience’ (better then I had & more fun then the actual prom ), dress shopping, beauty prep days, shoe shopping, nails, limo, the best prom slumber party Lux 2 bedroom suite, best dinner view, pictures, and Support means the world,” Farah continued, adding:

“Sheers and excited for young adulthood it’s here — LFG!”

Yes, even in the age of AI, Farrah is still posting her semi-coherent word salads on social media.

We respect it, but she might be the one person who actually should use a bot to write her posts.

Like Sophia’s permanent fangs, her goth prom look received quite a bit of criticism on Instagram, but when you grow up as Farrah Abraham’s daughter, we’re sure you grow accustomed to the haters at a young age.

But that doesn’t mean it’s okay for strangers to bash a teenage girl.

We should all be saving our criticism for people who actually deserve it — like Farrah.

Kendra Duggar’s Parents React to Joseph Duggar’s ‘Devastating’ …

Reading Time: 3 minutes

It’s been nearly a month since Joseph Duggar was arrested on child molestation charges.

His wife, Kendra Duggar, was arrested shortly thereafter on the much lesser charge of child endangerment.

Now, after weeks of controversy and speculation, Kendra’s family is speaking out on the situation.

“Our family is both troubled and heartbroken over the alleged actions committed by our son-in-law,” the Caldwell family wrote on Instagram on Wednesday (via Page Six).

“We are devastated for the young girl, a child who was courageous in every way to share her truth. We stand by her, both in support and prayer, and forever will,” the family continued, adding:

“Our love for this child remains at the forefront of our family’s priorities and minds. We are proud of her for being strong enough to share her story while also retaining her own identity and joy.

“The only way to freedom is to shine light in the darkness,” the statement continued.

“And in this time, part of the light in our lives has come through the outpouring of love and prayer from people near and far. Thank you who have given in all the ways, through prayer, finances, time, energy and words of encouragement. We love you all. At this time, we have no further comment and request privacy.”

The post comes just weeks after the Caldwell family posted a GoFundMe page to raise money for new housing.

It seems that Kendra’s parents, Paul and Christina Caldwell, had been living in a home owned by Joseph.

When the two families had a falling out a few months back, the Caldwells understandably began to fear for their living situation.

“My family is facing a difficult and urgent situation. We are in need to cover displacement expenses,” Kendra’s father wrote on the crowdfunding initiative.

“We will not be using these funds for [our] legal expenses,” he continued, adding:

“The displacement fees will be for moving expenses, housing costs such as rent until we can find a place to stay more permanently.”

“Thank you so much everyone. The response has been overwhelming. We truly appreciate your generosity and prayers and thoughts,” Paul — who was once Joseph and Kendra’s pastor — concluded.

The Caldwells later took the fundraising page down after raising several thousand dollars.

Kendra has not yet publicly commented on her parents’ remarks.

Her next court date is not currently known, but Joseph is due in front of a judge in Panama City Beach, Florida — where his alleged crime took place — on April 20.

We will have further updates on this developing story as new information becomes available.
