Jimmy Jam is on Celebrity Jobber with Jeff Zito this week. What type of work would Jam be doing if not for being an R&B/pop songwriter and record producer since the 1980s with various artists like Lionel Richie, Herb Alpert, TLC, Michael Jackson, Aretha Franklin, Boyz II Men, Usher, Chaka Khan, and more? Many celebrities will tell you that if not for that one lucky break or meeting, they would have been working at McDonald's, like Rachel McAdams, or teaching middle school drama, like Jon Hamm. In other words, they may have been just a jobber.

A powerful storm with high winds and heavy rain will lead to travel problems in the Northeast, before colder air and snow sweep in later for some areas late this week. The latest storm in the pineapple express will focus on Oregon into Friday evening. Some streams and rivers will quickly surge to major flood levels, posing risks to lives and property.

Set on New Year's Eve, "Old Acquaintance" follows a woman returning home after her father's sudden death, only to discover the demon that haunted him may now be coming for her. Cooper unpacks the story's emotional core, the mythology behind the demon, and why the holidays are the perfect pressure cooker for horror. The conversation also explores Cooper's collaboration with The Boulet Brothers and David Dastmalchian, the challenge of telling a deeply personal, terrifying story in a short format, and how holiday traditions can amplify dread instead of comfort.

This video is an engaging interview with the artist Kehlani, conducted by DJ Pup Dawg, where she reflects on her hugely successful career, which she notes is constantly growing and has recently earned her two Grammy nominations. She discusses her personal evolution, explaining that the confidence she displays now comes from growing up in the industry—from age 19 to 30—and learning to overcome early-career shyness and anxiety. Her advice to her younger self is to prioritize mental health immediately by starting therapy, seeking psychiatry, and developing positive habits and routines. Regarding her music, Kehlani talks about her "old school" strategy of releasing several singles, like "Folded" and "Out the Window," as a natural lead-up to an album, and she admits that she is still learning to ignore online criticism in favor of the overwhelming love from fans. She also confirmed that two major collaborations are in the works: a dream collaboration with Usher and a feature with Brandy for her upcoming album, which is expected to be followed by a tour next year.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The relationship between Usher and Sean "Diddy" Combs has come under scrutiny following Combs' recent arrest on charges of conspiracy and sex trafficking. Usher, who has had a professional relationship with Diddy since his teenage years, quickly made headlines when he deleted all of his posts on X (formerly Twitter) shortly after Combs' arrest. This sparked rumors that the move might be related to the scandal, given their close ties. However, Usher later claimed that his account was hacked and denied any connection between the deletions and Combs' legal troubles..Usher has not been implicated in any crimes, but his past experiences living with Diddy as a young artist have resurfaced in discussions about the mogul's controversial history. He has previously spoken about witnessing wild parties and "curious things" during his time with Diddy in the 1990s, though he has maintained a distance from the current allegations.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Usher Says He Saw 'Very Curious Things' When He Lived with Diddy at 13 for a Year (people.com)

The controversy surrounding the alleged deleted Usher tweets stems from claims that the R&B singer posted a series of controversial messages on social media, which were quickly deleted. While specific details about the content of these alleged tweets vary, the general narrative suggests that they may have been offensive or insensitive in nature, sparking backlash and prompting Usher or his team to remove them.Afterward, rumors and discussions circulated about what was actually posted, leading to debates on social media. Some argued that screenshots of the tweets were fabricated or taken out of context, while others expressed disappointment or criticism of Usher based on the claims.  So the question is, was content hidden or was Usher hacked like he says?   Let's dive in!to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Usher says he was hacked after his Twitter account got wiped out following Diddy arrest: 'Y'all ran with it' | Daily Mail Online

L.A. Reid's role in Sean "Diddy" Combs' story has become more significant as details about his decisions involving young artists resurface. In the 1990s, Reid sent a teenage Usher to live with Diddy as part of a mentorship program dubbed "Puffy Flavor Camp." Usher has since reflected on his experience, describing it as "wild" and revealing that he witnessed inappropriate activities during his time with Diddy. While Reid admitted in his memoir that sending Usher into Diddy's world was meant to help him develop a more mature, edgy sound, he also expressed uncertainty about whether the decision was wise, considering the environment that Diddy fostered. Usher has since hinted at the discomfort he felt witnessing adult behavior at such a young age and stated he would never subject his children to a similar experience.In addition to Usher, Reid was also connected to another young star who had a relationship with Diddy—Justin Bieber. A resurfaced 2009 video shows a then 15-year-old Bieber spending time with Diddy, who made unsettling remarks about getting girls for the underage singer. Reid, who had worked with Bieber early in his career, played a role in connecting the young artist with influential figures like Diddy. This interaction is now being scrutinized in light of the serious allegations against Diddy, raising concerns about the environments young stars like Usher and Bieber were exposed to under his mentorship​.These revelations have cast Reid's decisions in a more critical light, as both Usher and Bieber's experiences with Diddy are now being reexamined in the context of the accusations against the music mogul.(commercial at 10:22)to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Revealed: How Usher brought 'beautiful' 14-year-old boy Justin Bieber to music mogul L.A Reid as a 'gift' (and how it paved the way for singer's friendship with Diddy) | Daily Mail Online

pWotD Episode 3142: Sean Combs Welcome to popular Wiki of the Day, spotlighting Wikipedia's most visited pages, giving you a peek into what the world is curious about today.With 168,530 views on Monday, 8 December 2025 our article of the day is Sean Combs.Sean John Combs (born November 4, 1969), known professionally as Diddy (formerly Puff Daddy and P. Diddy), is an American former rapper, record producer, and record executive. Born in Harlem, Combs worked as a talent director at Uptown Records before founding his own record label, Bad Boy Records, in 1993. He is credited with the discovery and development of musical artists such as the Notorious B. I. G., Mary J. Blige, and Usher, among others.Combs's debut studio album, No Way Out (1997), peaked atop the Billboard 200 and sold over 7 million copies in the US. Two of its singles, "Can't Nobody Hold Me Down" and "I'll Be Missing You", topped the Billboard Hot 100—the latter was the first hip-hop song to debut atop the chart. With his guest appearance on "Mo Money Mo Problems", Combs became the first solo artist to replace himself atop the chart. His second and third albums, Forever (1999) and The Saga Continues... (2001), both peaked at number two in the US. Collaborative singles "Bump, Bump, Bump" (2002) and "Shake Ya Tailfeather" (2003) made him the first rapper with five US number-one singles. Following the release of his US chart-topping fourth album Press Play (2006), Combs formed the musical trio Diddy – Dirty Money with R&B singers Kalenna Harper and Dawn Richard to release the collaborative album Last Train to Paris (2010). He independently released his fifth album, The Love Album: Off the Grid, in 2023.One of the world's wealthiest musical artists, Combs topped Forbes annual hip-hop rich list in 2014 and 2017. His accolades include three Grammy Awards, three BET Awards and two MTV Video Music Awards. He has worked as a producer for other media, including the reality television series Making the Band, and he starred in the films Made, Monster's Ball (both 2001) and Get Him to the Greek (2010). Combs launched the clothing retailer Sean John in 1998, for which he won Menswear Designer of the Year from the Council of Fashion Designers of America in 2004, having previously been nominated in 2000. He served as brand ambassador for the liquor brand Cîroc from 2007 to 2023, and co-founded the digital television network Revolt in 2013. In 2008, Combs became the first male rapper to get a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.In late 2023, Combs settled a high-profile sexual assault and abuse lawsuit filed by his former partner Cassie Ventura. Numerous lawsuits regarding sexual misconduct were filed in the following months, with several claimants alleging sexual assault and abuse by Combs between 1991 and 2009. In March 2024, several of Combs's properties were raided by the Department of Homeland Security, and that September he was charged with federal sex trafficking, transportation to engage in prostitution, and racketeering. He pled not guilty and was denied bail three times. His trial began on May 5, 2025; on July 2, he was found guilty of transportation to engage in prostitution, but not guilty on racketeering and sex trafficking charges. As of October 2025, he is incarcerated at the Federal Correctional Institution, Fort Dix. On October 3, 2025, Combs was sentenced to 50 months in prison with credit for 12 months time served.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 02:34 UTC on Tuesday, 9 December 2025.For the full current version of the article, see Sean Combs on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Bluesky at @wikioftheday.com.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm neural Kimberly.

In a recent interview with Michael Franzese, former Death Row Records CEO Suge Knight made several allegations concerning Sean "Diddy" Combs and other figures in the music industry. Knight claimed that Diddy had inappropriate relationships with artists Usher and Justin Bieber, alleging that Diddy engaged in sexual activities with both when they were young. He expressed particular concern for Bieber, stating, "It was the saddest thing in the world what they did to Justin Bieber. They had sex with him. I hate to say that because I really like Justin Bieber. I feel bad for Justin Bieber."Additionally, Knight suggested that Diddy and Snoop Dogg shared an unusually close and "uncomfortable" relationship, implying that their interactions went beyond professional boundaries. He stated, "Snoop and Puffy was so close, closer than close, closer than most. They would do things together, and part[y] together, and do things that it was uncomfortable for two men to be that way."We also hear from Diddy's team who responded to the recent comments made by Shyne.(commercial at 8:59)to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Suge Knight Claims Diddy Groomed Justin Bieber & 'Molested' Usher | HipHopDX

Send us a textIs there a more terrifying writer in the world than Edgar Allan Poe, nor a more fun one to read with a child with than Theodore Geisel, "Dr. Seuss" ?  I don't think so. In this episode we chronicle two of the most extremely different authors of our entire series. Edgar Allan Poe wrote some of the strangest and most horrifying stories ever written. "The Murders in the Rue Morgue" "The Mask of the Red Death" The Fall of the House of Usher", "Tell Tale Heart", The Pit and the Pendulum" the list goes on and on. But for all of that he is actually considered the father of the modern detective novel which is what he actually made his living doing. Though he struggled financially his entire life. His poetry is equally famous and perhaps no other poem stands out at all like "The Raven" which we will feature in this episode. The actor most closely associated with Poe is Vincent Price who made some of the best movies ever made in the 1950s and 1960s. Poe's life was as interesting as his writing and his death just as mysterious, we will tell you the story and feature his writing tips too, through the episode. Dr. Seuss, was a part of every child's life under the age of 8 in every home I have ever visited, you at least see one of his books. "The Cat in the Hat", "The Lorax", "Green Eggs and Ham," "Oh the Places we will Go" , "The Sneeches" , "One fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish", "Horton Hears a Who?" , my personal favorite "The Grinch Who Stole Christmas", and even a book found two decades after he passed away, hidden in a box at his house, titled "What Pet Should I get" What an extraordinary legacy to have had such an impact on the lives of children everywhere, with characters that never existed until he dreamed them up, mixed with timeless themes, that match perfectly with his rhymes. In this episode we introduce you to the man, his books, and his writing advice.  Questions or comments at , Randalrgw1@aol.com , https://twitter.com/randal_wallace , and http://www.randalwallace.com/Please Leave us a review at wherever you get your podcastsThanks for listening!!

Armon welcomes rising R&B talent SWEATA to discuss returning to New York for rollout season and his journey from church-trained musician to producer and now artist. He breaks down creating Sweata Weather Vol. 1 with 9th Wonder, the mentorship of Devvon Terrell, and finding confidence in elite industry rooms with cosigns from Usher and L.A. Reid (05:00). SWEATA reflects on R&B's evolution, his desire to revive experimentation and rap/R&B duets, and the lessons learned about overthinking and trusting his sound (21:42). He shares the story behind his breakout Yebba collaboration “Waterfall” (43:47) and the creation of his single “Good Thing,” including clearing an Outkast sample and aiming to restore youthful energy to R&B (55:48). They close with his dream collaborations—HER, Bruno Mars, Kendrick Lamar, Babyface, Stevie Wonder—and a fun comparison to wrestling star Trick Williams (01:01:52).

Justin Bieber BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.Justin Bieber's recent days have delivered an unusually dense stream of developments, business moves, public appearances, and social media buzz, signaling both personal reinvention and biographical significance. Most visually, Bieber carved headlines with a fresh start and a fully clean shaven face at Game Three of the 2025 World Series at Dodger Stadium on October 28, energetically supporting the Toronto Blue Jays alongside Hailey Bieber. The beard-free look marked a symbolic shift and spawned memes and widespread coverage, with outlets like Just Jared, XMAG, and IMDb highlighting this new era for the pop superstar. Social media further amplified Bieber's baseball appearance as fans circulated his Blue Jays jersey moment and gave Shohei Ohtani a thumbs-down, showing that his presence still generates viral energy.On the business front, Bieber split from his Drew House fashion brand, announcing via Instagram on November 13 that the venture no longer represented him or his family. This pivot clears the path for his newer fashion enterprise, SKYLRK, which launched in July. His wife Hailey has reportedly contributed to design elements—especially leather jackets and accessories inspired by her own Rhode skincare brand—financing this expansion with her headline-grabbing $1 billion sale of Rhode to E.L.F. Beauty in May. As chief creative officer and head of innovation at Rhode, Hailey's achievement continues to cast a lucrative shadow over Bieber's business trajectory.There's no shortage of family news: Justin and Hailey's son, Jack Blues, born August 2024, features in occasional heartfelt social content, highlighting Bieber's evolving role as a father. Yet, there's still a storm behind the scenes. On November 16, while riding an electric skateboard, Bieber reportedly injured his ribs—a setback he admitted during a Twitch livestream could impact rehearsals for his confirmed Coachella 2026 headline slot, where he's set to share top billing with Sabrina Carpenter and Karol G; profit estimates for his set run up to $10 million.In the world of music, anticipation grows for Bieber's official comeback in 2025. Producer Mk.gee confirmed studio sessions, and Bieber's recent Instagram stories teased new tracks—a fusion of classic vocals and fresh rap, fueling speculation about the shape of his next era. Industry talk hints at new collaborations and a likely global tour as he attempts to mend losses from the canceled Justice World Tour of 2022 which resulted from his Ramsay Hunt syndrome diagnosis.Finally, behind the scenes, Bieber has teamed up with Adele's publicist Benny Tarantini for a coordinated reputation reboot ahead of Coachella. Meanwhile, fans continue to parse every move: from Bieber unfollowing Usher on Instagram, inciting rumors of shifting allegiances, to events like Justin Bieber Night at Strummers in Fresno on November 22, the sense is clear—2025 may be remembered as the year Justin Bieber reset, redirected, and readied himself to reclaim pop culture primacy.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOtaThis content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI

From a supermax prison guard

"During the whole of a dull, dark, and soundless day in the autumn of the year, when the clouds hung oppressively low in the heavens, I had been passing alone, on horseback, through a singularly dreary tract of country; and at length found myself, as the shades of the evening drew on, within view of the melancholy House of Usher. I know not how it was — but, with the first glimpse of the building, a sense of insufferable gloom pervaded my spirit. I say insufferable; for the feeling was unrelieved by any of that half-pleasurable, because poetic, sentiment, with which the mind usually receives even the sternest natural images of the desolate or terrible. I looked upon the scene before me — upon the mere house, and the simple landscape features of the domain — upon the bleak walls — upon the vacant eye-like windows — upon a few rank sedges — and upon a few white trunks of decayed trees — with an utter depression of soul which I can compare to no earthly sensation more properly than to the after-dream of the reveller upon opium — the bitter lapse into every-day life — the hideous dropping off of the veil. There was an iciness, a sinking, a sickening of the heart — an unredeemed dreariness of thought which no goading of the imagination could torture into aught of the sublime." - Edgar Allan Poe

In this bonus episode of Selective Ignorance, host Mandii B welcomes the “classmates” for a lively, interactive assembly, kicking off with a warm introduction and playful nod to community-driven conversation [00:00 Introduction to Selective Ignorance]. The episode quickly jumps into one of the most talked-about topics among women—traveling with friends—as Mandii and the group unpack the unspoken rules, expectations, and preparation involved in group trips, playfully coined the Black Girl Travel Checklist [00:58 Traveling with Friends: The Black Girl Travel Checklist]. From there, the classmates dive into moments of personal ignorance and growth, sharing candid stories that highlight how humor, vulnerability, and participation fuel real conversation [05:42 Ignorant Moments: Class Participation and Sharing]. The discussion shifts to the delicate balance between critique and disrespect in the entertainment industry, sparked by reactions to Denzel Washington’s latest film and the importance of giving honest feedback to even the most respected creatives [09:56 Critique in the Entertainment Industry: Denzel Washington's Latest Film]. This leads into a deeper exploration of the challenges of critiquing cultural icons like Beyoncé and J. Cole, and how fandom, loyalty, and cultural pressure often silence honest opinion [17:25 The Challenge of Critiquing Icons: Beyoncé and J. Cole]. Pop culture continues with a conversation about Ryan Murphy’s new show and Kim Kardashian’s acting performance, questioning talent, opportunity, and industry access [23:37 Ryan Murphy's New Show: Kim Kardashian's Acting Skills]. The group then debates movie date etiquette, unpacking expectations around the “perfect first date,” gender norms, and financial responsibility [29:21 Dating Etiquette: The Movie Date Debate]. The conversation takes an unexpected but fascinating turn into legal consequences of infidelity, discussing the rarely known law of Alienation of Affection—and whether someone can actually be sued for ruining a marriage [39:07 Suing for Infidelity: The Case of Alienation of Affection]. Mandii then pivots toward larger societal concerns, examining the crisis in healthcare education and how policy changes are reshaping student access, training quality, and future care [45:15 Healthcare Education Crisis: The Impact of Policy Changes], followed by a breakdown of Project 2025, exploring its political implications and potential impact on everyday Americans [48:41 Unpacking Project 2025]. Back in celebrity culture, the classmates analyze relationship accountability, diving into the blurred lines between privacy, morality, and public perception [51:26 Celebrity Relationships and Accountability], before exploring Usher’s legal battle involving friends, dissecting loyalty, business, and personal boundaries [59:04 Usher's Legal Battle with Friends]. The episode wraps with a spirited conversation on tipping culture, debating when tipping is appropriate, whether it's becoming an expectation versus a reward, and how service standards have evolved [01:16:58 Tipping Culture and Service Expectations]. “No Holes Barred: A Dual Manifesto Of Sexual Exploration And Power” w/ Tempest X!Sale Link Follow the host on Social MediaMandii B Instagram/X @fullcourtpumps Follow the guest on Social Media @jayjurden Follow the show on Social MediaInstagram @selectiveignorancepodTiktok @selective.ignoranceX/Twitter @selectiveig_podSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Gary J. Walters was an integral part of White House history during a 37 year career in which he served seven presidents and their families. Stewart McLaurin, president of the White House HIstorical Association, sat down with Gary to recount some of the moments he witnessed which are also captured in the new book White House Memories 1970 - 2017: Recollections of the Longest Serving Chief Usher. Gary started his tenure at the White House during the Nixon presidency as an Executive Protective Service officer. In 1976 he became an assistant usher under President Gerald Ford. When Gary was named Chief Usher in 1986 he took on a job that transcended politics. The Chief Usher oversees the day to day operations of the Executive Mansion and grounds, managing the Residence staff and a space that is uniquely many things: a living museum, a ceremonial and working space, as well as a home. In this episode, Gary recounts the joys and challenges of elegant State Dinners and decorating for the holidays, and reflects on solemn moments such as the assassination attempt of President Ronald Reagan and the events of September 11th, 2001. Foremost in his mind was making sure the presidents and first families were comfortable and afforded privacy during what were often stressful times. When he retired in 2007 after 21 years as Chief Usher, Gary received the President's Award for Distinguished Federal Civilian Service from President George W. Bush. Remarkably, Gary continues to serve by directing the proceeds from his book to the mission of the White House Historical Association: to share the history of the White House, the People's House.  White House Memories 1970 - 2017: Recollections of the Longest Serving Chief Usher by Gary J. Walters, published by the White House Historical Association, will be released at the Association's Annual Holiday Book Festival on December 5, 2025.

The Rickey Smiley Morning Show starts with a headline-grabbing lawsuit as Usher sues longtime collaborator Bryan-Michael Cox and several business partners over an unpaid $700,000 balance from a $1.7 million loan intended for a Buckhead restaurant project that never materialized. Usher, who has worked with Cox on classics like Burn and U Got It Bad, is now seeking up to $4.9 million in damages after court documents allege the loan money was misused rather than applied to the property purchase as agreed. The crew then turns to disturbing new allegations against Motown legend Smokey Robinson, as a male accuser joins existing civil cases claiming Robinson sexually assaulted him in 2022—accusations Robinson denies. These lawsuits add to a growing list of Jane and John Doe filings that have put Robinson under intense public scrutiny. Finally, the show dives into breaking political news as the House votes overwhelmingly to release the long-sealed Epstein documents, with a near-unanimous 427–1 vote. The remaining paperwork is expected to move quickly through the Senate before heading to the President’s desk, raising anticipation for what high-profile names or communications might emerge once the files become public.

Welcome back to The When Words Fail Music Speaks, the podcast where we turn the volume up on the power of music to lift us out of the darkness. In today's episode, host James Cox sits down with the unstoppable Mz. Coxx —singer, songwriter, actress, and all‑around creative force—just a year after their last chat.From the buzz around her breakout single “Headboard” (feat. Lil Durks) to a brand‑new EP dropping on 11/11, we dive into her whirlwind year of global touring, a looming movie role, and the next chapter of her Panamanian‑Georgia‑infused sound. Mz. Coxx opens up about the emotions she's yet to explore in her music—sadness, love, and raw vulnerability—while sharing the quirky rituals that shape her studio sessions (candlelight, tequila, and occasional party vibes).We also get the low‑down on her upcoming cruise gigs, favorite influences (Missy Elliott, Usher, Lil' Kim, Chris Brown), and the one song that still moves her to the core—Usher's “Superstar.”Whether you're a longtime fan or new to her sound, this conversation is a reminder that when words fail, music always speaks.
