Megan Thee Stallion stuns Love Island Girls, introduces new bombshells in surprise villa visit
Megan Thee Stallion brought high energy and unforgettable vibes to the Love Island USA villa during a surprise visit that left contestants—and viewers—buzzing. From hyping up the girls to launching new arrivals, the Grammy-winning artist delivered a standout episode that shook up the game. In the makeup room, Megan shared candid support for the women, calling their presence 'breathtaking' and praising their confidence, personality and style. Megan hyped up Olandria, who was visibly stunned by the rapper's presence. 'What is the booty routine, friend?' she asked, to which Olandria excitedly responded, 'Genetics, babe. Genetics'. Megan couldn't hold back, exclaiming, 'I don't know how many screenshots I got of you!' Turning to Chelley next, Megan was full of admiration when Chelley checked Ace during a conversation. Megan recalled the line and responded, 'Put him in check. Don't call him babe no more.' The episode featured a three-part challenge—twerk off, limbo battle and a life-size puzzle race. The girls won the final round and were rewarded with the entrance of a new male bombshell: 23-year-old TJ Palma from New York. Megan also introduced Andreina Santos, a 24-year-old Dominican beauty from New Jersey who didn't hesitate to say she had her eye on multiple boys. 'Y'all better show America what it do,' she told the girls before the night's events kicked off.

US singer Chris Brown in London court on assault case
Brown was freed from UK custody last month on £5 million ($6.7 million) bail after his arrest in the northwestern city of Manchester. Under the terms of his bail, which would see him forfeit the £5 million guarantee if he failed to return for court proceedings, the Grammy-winning Brown, 36, was given the go-ahead to continue his scheduled international tour, which began on June 8 in Amsterdam. The star, who had a troubled relationship with Barbadian singer Rihanna, is currently performing the UK leg of his tour, with his next date in London on Saturday. Concerts are also scheduled in France, Portugal and the US later in the year, before the tour wraps up in Memphis in mid-October. The star is charged with "grievous bodily harm with intent" in relation to an assault in which the victim was allegedly struck several times with a bottle before being pursued, punched and kicked. The alleged incident took place at a nightclub in Hanover Square in London on February 19, 2023 while Brown was touring in the UK. Police detained him in the early hours of May 13 at a five-star hotel in Manchester after he reportedly flew in by private jet. Judge Tony Baumgartner, at Southwark Crown Court in London, last month ordered that he could be freed on bail, and also stipulated that he should surrender his passport if he is not travelling. He is required to live at a specific address known to the court and is not permitted to visit the nightclub were the alleged assault took place or contact the alleged victim, Abraham Diah. Co-defendant Omololu Akinlolu, a 38-year-old US national, has also been charged with grievous bodily harm with intent. Brown is known for mid-2000s hits such as "Kiss, Kiss".
