Sean Combs received a 50-month sentence with 36 months to serve after his conviction on two prostitution charges in July.

Combs apologized in court, but officials suggested the remorse masked strategic career repositioning toward public speaking and mentorship programs.
The music executive created a curriculum called Free Game to teach entrepreneurship to incarcerated people, and his representatives indicated he plans to address domestic violence awareness. Combs delivered speeches at corporate events and received an honorary doctorate from Howard...

Costco members can purchase Wegovy for approximately $499 per four-week supply through the Member Prescription Program, representing nearly half the typical retail cost. The warehouse retailer partnered with manufacturer Novo Nordisk to extend reduced pricing to cash-paying customers without insurance coverage. Executive members and Costco Visa cardholders may receive additional discounts on the weight management medication.
The pricing structure mirrors a discount program Novo Nordisk introduced earlier this year amid growing competition from rival GLP-1 medications. Wegovy requires long-term use to maintain weight loss results, but monthly costs exceeding $1,000 have prevented many patients from accessing the treatment. Supply...

Defense attorney Ron Haley presented footage showing that Lacy's vehicle was 70 yards behind the collision that killed a Louisiana woman, contradicting initial police reports. The defense team alleges that a state trooper deactivated his body camera while a witness wrote a statement and potentially influenced the testimony to implicate Lacy more heavily in the incident.
Lacy died at age 24 in what authorities classified as a suicide while facing the charges. His legal representatives have requested a federal investigation into the case, citing questionable evidence collection and...
