Tory Lanez Hospitalized After Getting Stabbed In Prison (Reports)
Rapper Tory Lanez was stabbed in prison at California Correctional Institution in Tehachapi on Monday, according to several reports.
According to TMZ and the Los Angeles Times, Lanez, whose real name is Daystar Peterson, was in the yard outside Monday morning when another inmate stabbed him. Per TMZ, he was taken to a local hospital in Bakersfield to treat his injuries, which aren't considered life-threatening, and it's unclear what had provoked the attack.

Reps for Peterson didn't immediately respond to request for comment, nor did representatives for the Kern County Sheriff's Department or the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation.
Peterson is currently serving a 10-year sentence for shooting hip-hop star Megan Thee Stallion. The two got into a heated argument while in a car outside a Hollywood hills party during the summer of 2020. Meg got out of the car, and and as prosecutors said, Lanez yelled 'dance, bitch,' and shot at her feet, wounding her. Peterson was charged in 2020 and convicted in 2022 before he was sentenced in August of 2023.
Peterson released the eponymous Peterson, his first album since his 2022 conviction, back in March. He shared a post on Instagram Friday confirming a new album called Slutty Bass would also release at some point this summer. 'Alone at Prom + Miami Bass + Alvin and the Monk$ + slutty dark rnb vibes = Slutty Bass,' the rapper wrote.
Peterson's trial was one of the most high-profile legal cases in music in years, drawing media attention around the globe as online fans scrutinized the case and Megan Thee Stallion's own claims. Meg has spoken about the online vitriol, telling Women's Health last year that 'people expect me to take the punches, take the beating, take the lashings, and handle it with grace.'
'A lot of people didn't treat me like I was human for a long time,' Stallion said. 'I feel like everybody was always used to me being the fun and happy party girl. I watched people build me up, tear me down, and be confused about their expectations of me.'

Our awards columnist's Emmy ballot: Read his list of dream nominees
Emmy nominations voting ends tonight at 10 p.m. PT. Still need help with your ballot? I'm Glenn Whipp, columnist for the Los Angeles Times and host of The Envelope newsletter. Still time to bite into a 'Jaws' doughnut and peruse my picks for this year's Emmy races. (An ordinary bagel will do.) There are more than 100 Emmy categories, and if you scrolled through each and every one of them on the Television Academy's website, you are probably one of those people who read the terms and conditions on a document before signing your name. For me, simply filling out the following 15 categories — five each for comedy, drama and limited series — left me exhausted and in need of a sweet treat. And I already finished my 'Jaws' doughnut. Maybe this cherries jubilee? Paul Giamatti would approve. Without further ado, here are my picks and a brief line of reasoning for each. And if it's predictions you're after, you can find our full BuzzMeter panel's choices here. COMEDY SERIES'Abbott Elementary''The Bear''Hacks''A Man on the Inside''Only Murders in the Building''The Rehearsal''Somebody Somewhere''The Studio' Yes, 'The Rehearsal' is a comedy. COMEDY ACTRESSQuinta Brunson, 'Abbott Elementary'Ayo Edebiri, 'The Bear'Bridget Everett, 'Somebody Somewhere'Natasha Lyonne, 'Poker Face'Jean Smart, 'Hacks' Last call on nominating Everett (and her magical series), which has won a Peabody. COMEDY ACTORTed Danson, 'A Man on the Inside'Steve Martin, 'Only Murders in the Building'Seth Rogen, 'The Studio'Martin Short, 'Only Murders in the Building'Jeremy Allen White, 'The Bear' Best Netflix comedy: 'A Man on the Inside,' anchored by Danson, still a master of light laughs. COMEDY SUPPORTING ACTRESSLiza Colón-Zayas, 'The Bear'Hannah Einbinder, 'Hacks'Kathryn Hahn, 'The Studio'Linda Lavin, 'Mid-Century Modern'Jane Lynch, 'Only Murders in the Building'Catherine O'Hara, 'The Studio'Sheryl Lee Ralph, 'Abbott Elementary' Colón-Zayas won last year, probably for the episode that she submitted this year. It's weird when shows drop their new seasons in June. COMEDY SUPPORTING ACTORIke Barinholtz, 'The Studio'Colman Domingo, 'The Four Seasons'Paul Downs, 'Hacks'Harrison Ford, 'Shrinking'Ebon Moss-Bachrach, 'The Bear'Tyler James Williams, 'Abbott Elementary'Bowen Yang, 'Saturday Night Live' Thank you, Sal Saperstein! DRAMA SERIES'Andor''The Last of Us''Paradise''The Pitt''Severance''Slow Horses''The White Lotus''Wolf Hall: The Mirror and the Light' Voting for 'Wolf Hall: The Mirror and the Light' checks a couple of boxes. DRAMA ACTRESSKathy Bates, 'Matlock'Britt Lower, 'Severance'Elisabeth Moss, 'The Handmaid's Tale'Kaitlin Olson, 'High Potential'Bella Ramsey, 'The Last of Us' Moss won this Emmy eight years ago. With the show ending, she has earned a parting gift. DRAMA ACTORSterling K.

LIMITED SERIES/MOVIE ACTRESSKaitlyn Dever, 'Apple Cider Vinegar'Cristin Milioti, 'The Penguin'Lola Petticrew, 'Say Nothing'Michelle Williams, 'Dying for Sex'Renée Zellweger, 'Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy' OK, maybe not everything, as 'Adolescence' doesn't have a submission here. Zellweger probably won't win because comic acting rarely does, even though it most definitely should. LIMITED SERIES/MOVIE ACTORColin Farrell, 'The Penguin'Stephen Graham, 'Adolescence'Brian Tyree Henry, 'Dope Thief'Kevin Kline, 'Disclaimer'Cooper Koch, 'Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story' Farrell has already won so many awards for 'The Penguin,' it feels like either A) he must have won the Emmy too or B) he hasn't, and good God, let somebody else have a prize. (Like Graham.) LIMITED SERIES/MOVIE SUPPORTING ACTRESSErin Doherty, 'Adolescence'Ruth Negga, 'Presumed Innocent'Deirde O'Connell, 'The Penguin'Imogen Faith Reid, 'Good American Family'Jenny Slate, 'Dying for Sex'Christine Tremarco, 'Adolescence' Doherty will likely win for the series' third episode, the taut two-hander with Owen Cooper. But the fourth episode is just as good — maybe even better — featuring a heart-rending turn from Tremarco as the mom trying to hold it together. LIMITED SERIES/MOVIE SUPPORTING ACTORJavier Bardem, 'Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story'Owen Cooper, 'Adolescence'Rob Delaney, 'Dying for Sex'Rhenzy Feliz, 'The Penguin'Hugh Grant, 'Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy'Ashley Walters, 'Adolescence' Cooper will soon become the fifth teen actor to win a Primetime Emmy.

Johnny Depp doesn't regret Amber Heard trial: 'It had gone far enough'
To some, Johnny Depp's headline-making defamation trial with ex-wife Amber Heard was a stain on his gleaming Hollywood career. But despite the legal drama, Depp wouldn't change a thing. The Oscar-nominated actor reflected on the 2022 court battle in an interview with The Sunday Times published June 21. "Look, none of this was going (to) be easy, but I didn't care," he told the British outlet. "I thought, 'I'll fight until the bitter (expletive) end.' And if I end up pumping gas? That's all right. I've done that before." Depp sued Heard in 2019, claiming she defamed him in a 2018 Washington Post op-ed in which she said she was a victim of domestic abuse without specifically naming him. Heard was granted a temporary restraining order against the actor in May 2016, just days after filing for divorce, alleging Depp physically abused her various times during their 15-month marriage. As for their trial, a Virginia jury in 2022 awarded Depp more than $10 million in damages following six weeks of widely watched testimony, during which both parties and witnesses testified about alleged abuse throughout the couple's tumultuous relationship. "Look, it had gone far enough," Depp, 62, continued. "If I don't try to represent the truth it will be like I've actually committed the acts I am accused of. And my kids will have to live with it. Their kids. Kids that I've met in hospitals. So the night before the trial in Virginia I didn't feel nervous. If you don't have to memorize lines, if you're just speaking the truth? Roll the dice." 'A soap opera': Johnny Depp shades Amber Heard defamation trial Heard won $2 million in damages from her countersuit over Depp's lawyer calling her claims a hoax. In December 2022, the former couple agreed to a settlement in the defamation case, with Heard paying Depp $1 million that he pledged to charity. The "Pirates of the Caribbean" alum also reflected on the professional fallout from the trial, including testimony from his former agent Tracey Jacobs. According to The Hollywood Reporter and Variety, Jacobs testified that Depp's industry status was being increasingly undermined by his "unprofessional" on-set behavior, which allegedly included frequent tardiness. "There are people, and I'm thinking of three, who did me dirty. Those people were at my kids' parties. Throwing them in the air," Depp said. "And, look, I understand people who could not stand up (for me) because the most frightening thing to them was making the right choice. I was pre-MeToo. I was like a crash test dummy for MeToo. It was before Harvey Weinstein." 10 bingeable memoirs to check out: Celebrities tell all about aging, marriage and Beyoncé The legal troubles of disgraced movie mogul Harvey Weinstein, who was indicted in May 2018 on charges of five sex crimes, are widely regarded as the tipping point for the #MeToo movement's impact on Hollywood. Weinstein was convicted on June 11 of a first-degree criminal sexual act in the retrial of his 2020 conviction on sexual assault and rape charges. Following the conclusion of his trial with Heard, Depp resumed his entertainment career with a starring role in 2023's "Jeanne du Barry," and directed the 2024 period drama "Modi: Three Days on the Wing of Madness." "Honestly? I didn't go anywhere," said Depp of his showbiz reemergence. "If I actually had the chance to split, I would never come back."
