Explosive new Diddy mansion pics reveal star's shelves stacked with baby oil, a vast weapons arsenal & ketamine stash
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) BOMBSHELL new images from Sean "Diddy" Combs' mansion have been revealed - with shelves stacked with baby oil, shotguns sprawled around, and his ketamine stash unveiled. The disgraced music mogul, 55, is currently on trial in New York for sex-trafficking, and faces life behind bars if convicted. Sign up for the Entertainment newsletter Sign up 10 Shelves of baby oil were photographed in the mansion Credit: Department of Justice 10 Agents also discovered various weaponry Credit: Department of Justice 10 Bags of ketamine were seized Credit: Department of Justice 10 Sean 'Diddy' Combs at the 2022 Billboard Music Awards at MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas Credit: Getty He's pleaded not guilty to charges of sex trafficking, racketeering conspiracy, and transportation to engage in prostitution, as prosecutors alleged his business empire was also a criminal enterprise. The abundance of explosive pics were released by federal prosecutors as the trial was stalled due to the Juneteenth holiday. The bombshell items were seized by Homeland Security officials during the March 2024 raid at Combs' mansion in the neighborhood of Holmby Hills - a playground for the rich and famous. One chilling image shows baby oil neatly displayed across three shelves in one room of the sprawling property. READ MORE ON DIDDY TRIAL SHOCK Kanye sensationally crashes Diddy trial but 'storms out mins later' Homeland Security Investigations agent Andre Lamon has testified that he found 900 bottles of lubricant Astroglide and 200 bottles of baby oil at Combs' home. Defense Attorney Marc Agnifilo said the disgraced star likes to "buy in bulk like any other American". Another image shows various weapons confiscated by agents, including deadly AR-15 style rifles and pump shotguns. Investigators also discovered bags of the drug ketamine that were photographed as evidence. Federal prosecutors have alleged that the Schedule III, or Class B substance was used in the infamous "freak-offs". Combs would put women through days-long "freak-off" sex parties while filming them, a court heard last month. Kanye shows up to Diddy's sex trafficking trial in blacked out Maybach after being spotted in NYC with wife Bianca A few weeks ago, Combs' ex-girlfriend testified about opening "Pandora's box" after she agreed to the music executive's proposal to engage in sex with strangers. The woman, who is being identified in court under the pseudonym Jane, recalled on the stand about falling "head over heels" for Combs after they first met in late 2020. She said that she did various drugs, including cocaine, ecstasy, molly, and ketamine, every time she saw Combs between February and May 2021. During the March 2024 raid, a hard drive was also seized, and the property's security system was turned off. Combs forked out almost $40 million on the 17,000 square-foot, 10-bedroom home back in September 2014. He put it on the market a decade later for $61.5 million. The property boasts outdoor features such as a swimming pool, and its lawns are neat. Inside, there is a 35-seat theater room, a wine cellar, a gym, as well as a state-of-the-art gourmet kitchen. Its other features include a basketball court, spa room, and an outdoor loggia-style facility where barbecues can be hosted, per the Zillow listing. 10 Combs' Los Angeles home lies empty more than a year after being raided by the feds Credit: The US Sun 10 900 bottles were allegedly found at the mansion Credit: Department of Justice 10 Numerous guns were found in the raid Credit: Department of Justice 10 Drawers allegedly contained women's lingerie and heels Credit: Department of Justice 10 Combs' trial is expected to last eight to 10 weeks Credit: Department of Justice There's also an underground swimming tunnel that is linked to a grotto. Meanwhile, even if Combs is found guilty, he could be pardoned by President Donald Trump. Trump surprised reporters by commenting on the court case during a news conference with Elon Musk and revealed he would consider whether or not he has been "mistreated." Asked if he would consider pardoning him, Trump said, "Nobody's asked. But I know people are thinking about it. I think some people have been very close to asking." He said he felt the former music mogul used to like him "a lot" but wasn't his biggest fan after he went into politics. Despite this, Trump said, "I would certainly look at the facts. If I think somebody was mistreated, whether they like me or don't like me, it wouldn't have any impact on me." If you or someone you know is affected by any of the issues raised in this story, call RAINN (Rape, Abuse, & Incest National Network) at 800-656-HOPE (4673). Diddy locked eyes with us as he entered the courtroom - inside the trial of the decade By Israel S-Rodriguez, Senior News Reporter at The U.S. Sun The federal sex trafficking trial of Sean 'Diddy' Combs began with jury selection on May 5. Combs is standing trial at the Southern District of New York Courthouse in Lower Manhattan - an intimidating federal courthouse where the cases of Ghislaine Maxwell, Donald Trump, and Bernard Madoff, among others, were tried. Once a powerful founder of a music and business empire, Combs has been reduced to a defendant, inmate 37452-054, stripped of his mogul status, and now standing trial on five federal charges with the full wrath of the United States government against him. When I attended Day 3 of jury selection at the federal courthouse on May 7, the buzz around the start of the trial was palpable. Hours before the courthouse opened its doors, more than a dozen reporters and members of the public stood in line in hopes of securing a seat in the gallery for the high-profile trial. As you walk through the glass door entrance of the Daniel Patrick Moynihan Courthouse, you are met by bulletproof vest-clad court officers. All visitors must separate their electronic devices from their personal belongings, which are passed through a metal detector. Visitors walk through a metal detector before a court officer hands them a poker chip. The courthouse uses a poker chip system to sort the number of electronic devices visitors are in possession of. Electronic devices, such as Bluetooth-powered headphones, voice recorders, laptops, cellphones, and smart watches, are confiscated before you're allowed to enter the courthouse's main hallway. As about a half-dozen reporters and I waited in the gallery for jury selection, we witnessed how Combs entered the courtroom shackle-free. Combs entered with his hands pressed together, greeted his defense team before he examined the gallery, and locked eyes with reporters and potential jurors. The 55-year-old disgraced Bad Boy Records executive was attentive and engaged with his counsel as they grilled dozens of potential jurors. As jury selection wrapped up for the day, Combs embraced each of his female defense attorneys before he mouthed "thank you" to a handful of supporters in the gallery. I attended trial again as opening statements got underway on May 12 and the world media waited anxiously outside the federal courthouse before the sun rose in Lower Manhattan. A line stretched down the block from the federal courthouse as some members of the media and from the public camped out overnight to try to obtain a coveted seat inside the gallery. At least three overflow rooms were made available for reporters and the public, who are eager to witness the prosecutions case against the music mogul. At least half a dozen members of Combs' family arrived at the courthouse as spectators filed in single order to enter the federal building to turn over all their electronic devices. Combs' trial is being held on the 26th floor in Judge Arun Subramanian's courtroom and is expected to last for eight weeks. We'll bring it all to you on The U.S. Sun.

Why jewellery Is taking centre stage in festival season
As the summer festival season unfolds, the fashion industry once again turns its attention to the proving ground of trend experimentation: the music field. But while wellington boots and crochet tops are a given, it's jewellery that's quietly becoming the most expressive—and commercially potent—layer of the look. Pandora UK's latest study on festival fashion habits reveals a telling statistic: the average British festival-goer begins planning their outfit more than a month in advance. This level of preparation underscores just how influential festivals have become not only as cultural events but as critical seasonal retail moments—particularly for accessories brands seeking resonance with younger, trend-hungry consumers. According to Emma Fox, jewellery expert at Pandora, this is a moment when jewellery is no longer an afterthought but "can be the star of the show." In a season shaped by boldness and escapism, Fox suggests that 'more is more' when it comes to festival accessorising—a sentiment that aligns with macro retail movements toward maximalism, self-expression, and experiential fashion. The retail race for festival relevance For jewellery retailers, the stakes are higher than ever. In an increasingly saturated market, capturing festival traffic is both a branding opportunity and a direct-to-consumer sales driver. "Festival style offers a rare commercial window," says one industry buyer. "It's not about heritage or occasion wear—it's about immediacy, identity, and virality." The demand for statement jewellery during festival season reflects wider consumer appetite for pieces that are expressive but not necessarily timeless. This is jewellery as temporary spectacle: high-impact, high-street, and high-margin. Retailers from Zara to ASOS are quick to flood their channels with campaign imagery featuring layered chokers, nostalgic beadwork, and marine motif styles that correlate almost exactly with the trends identified by Pandora. The trends: A fusion of nostalgia and escapism Pandora's research, paired with insights from Coachella's influencer circuit and early-season UK festival previews, points to five jewellery trends set to dominate 2025: Modern Boho returns but with sharper edges. Think moto fringe meets metal hardware, as the laid-back 70s aesthetic gets reinterpreted for Gen Z through Pinterest-driven 'moto boho' cues. Gothic Glam sees a shift from soft romanticism to something darker and more theatrical. Lady Gaga's headline performance in a spiked scarlet gown is cited as a bellwether moment, with red gemstones, blackened metals, and religious iconography likely to influence mass-market collections. Marine-Inspired pieces speak to a wider oceanic obsession already visible in runway collections. Designers and retailers alike are diving into pearl stacks, shell necklaces, and starfish pendants, playing into coastal escapism—particularly potent for overseas festivals and beach events. 90s Revival continues to exert its hold over jewellery design, with nameplate necklaces, enamel rings, and childhood-coded beads taking the nostalgia factor into high gear. Charm bracelets, in particular, are experiencing renewed attention, their modular nature perfectly suited to the season's spirit of personalisation. Maximalism is not so much a trend as a permission slip. For brands, it's an invitation to encourage customers to stack, mix, and layer existing collections into bold new configurations. For consumers, it's an accessible way to update looks without a total overhaul. Jewellery as strategy, not afterthought It has become clear that jewellery is no longer a marginal upsell but a strategic anchor in festival fashion. Its relatively low cost, high visibility, and versatility make it uniquely suited to a retail calendar increasingly dictated by moments of cultural spectacle. As Emma Fox notes, 'Festival outfits are all about experimenting and being playful... it's a safe space for everyone to wear whatever they want, away from the practicality of everyday life.' For brands, this ethos is a commercial opportunity, one that turns festivals into not only aesthetic playgrounds but vital retail battlegrounds. In the end, jewellery's role in festival fashion speaks to a broader truth about today's consumer: it's not just about what they wear, but 'how much of themselves' they can project through it. And few seasons, or markets, offer such fertile ground for that as festival summer.

Banita Sandhu opens up about being called ugly after doing a South Indian film: ‘I looked like a twig, how could the co-star be attracted to me…'
Actress Banita Sandhu recently shared her personal experience with body shaming and the emotional complexities that accompanied it. Banita recalled facing harsh criticism early in her career and recounted one such experience in the South Indian film industry. Banita Sandhu about facing body shaming and trolls In an interview with ANI, she shared that she was called 'ugly' after doing a South Indian film. 'I remember getting body-shamed when I did a South Indian movie. I remember people calling me ugly because I looked like a twig. And how could the co-star be attracted to me in the movie because I was so skinny,' she said. She found it bizarre, and the trolling on social media felt particularly strange to her, as she had grown up in a different environment with a different culture. The Sardar Udham actress was born and raised in Caerleon, Wales. 'So I didn't feel as closely offended or criticised by it. I was like, oh, okay, the beauty standard in this region is different from what I look like. And that's just how I took it. I didn't take it to heart, like, 'Oh my God, I need to gain so much weight now. ' I'm naturally very skinny – you can literally ask any producer I've worked with; I eat the most on set,' she added. 'Thug Life' Crashes at Box Office | Kamal Haasan & Mani Ratnam's Comeback Turns into a Nightmare Banita Sandhu take on negative comments online Banita also addressed the wider culture of online criticism and revealed that she had often received such negative comments from people.
