From Britney's bad day to a piece of hip-hop history, here's what's happening in entertainment.
Britney Spears Assault
It's not such a great day to be Britney Spears after reports rolled in that the singer was assaulted.
Spears apparently filed a police report after being hit in the face by a security guard for incoming NBA rookie and number 1 overall draft pick Victor Wembanyama. She and her husband, Sam Asghari, were dining at Catch in Las Vegas when they ran into Wembanyama and his entourage. TMZ reports that when she tapped the hooper, in hopes to get a quick photo, she was backhand slapped across the face.
The security guard, Damian Smith, apologized right after the incident but Spears went ahead with filing a police report.
The Eagles Farewell

The last show is set to wrap up in St. Paul, Minnesota at the Xcel Energy Center on November 17. However, the tour is expected to pick up again in 2024 and run through 2025.
"Our long run has lasted far longer than any us ever dreamed. But, everything has its time, and the time has come for us to close the circle," the band said in a statement.

There's an engravement that reads, "Pac & Dada 1996," which was an ode to his relationship with Kidada Jones. It is said to be inspired by Machiavelli, an alias Shakur ironically had began going by near the end of his life.

Special prosecutors said Tuesday they are seeking to recharge actor Alec Baldwin in the 2021 fatal shooting on a Western movie set in New Mexico by presenting evidence to a grand jury.
They are playfully called the “forgotten five”: A handful of toys — the pogo stick, the Fisher-Price Corn Popper, My Little Pony, PEZ dispensers, and Transformers — that regularly approach toybox royalty as finalists for the National Toy Hall of Fame, only to be tossed back on the pile.
