Luigi Mangione is expected to plead guilty in federal court in New York City on Friday, on charges of stalking UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, according to The New York Times. Because of double jeopardy laws, which can prevent a person from being tried for the same crime twice, this could have significant impacts on his upcoming state murder trial, which is expected to begin on Sept. 8. A source close to the matter tells Rolling Stone that plea negotiations can always change up until the last minute, so things are still in flux. Thompson was killed on Dec. 4, 2024…

It’s also a town that usually waits until it’s far too late to recognize any of them, if at all. The Mississippi-born Charlie Worsham is all of these things: performer, player, songwriter, ally, and beloved member of the community. And last Friday, Vince Gill announced that Worsham would be the newest inductee to the Grand Ole Opry. It’s about damn time a Music City institution got something so right. The Grand Ole…

The four adult Cascio siblings who allege Michael Jackson sexually abused them on interstate or international trips when they were minors have lost their bid for a public trial of their child sex trafficking claims and must instead go to private arbitration with Jackson’s estate, a federal judge has ruled.

They first spoke out about…
Travis Barker didn’t want to do this documentary.

Two of his best friends were killed. A third passenger, his close friend and collaborator DJ AM, died a year later of an overdose. Barker was in intense emotional…
