Diddy is allegedly gearing up for a one-billion-dollar legal smackdown against Netflix over the docuseries Sean Combs: The Reckoning. His camp says there’s unauthorized personal footage in the series. The director fired back saying the footage came to them legally, with full rights, and added that Diddy has basically filmed himself obsessively for decades.

Lainey Wilson and Devlin Hodges are reportedly planning a big, expensive wedding and sources say Lainey wants the best of the best. Here’s the twist: neither one of them is swimming in mega-millions.
