Sean “Diddy” Combs out on bail after alleged assault at son Justin’s school
OUT ON BAIL
Sean Combs was released from jail after being accused of assault with a weight-room kettlebell at the athletic facilities of the University of California, L.A., where his son Justin plays football. Diddy, 45, was freed late Monday night after posting bail, several hours after his arrest, jail records showed. University police allege three counts of assault with a deadly weapon, one count of making terrorist threats and one count of battery. The man he is accused of assaulting is Justin’s coach Sal Alosi, a former NY Jets conditioning coach who was suspended in 2010 after tripping ex Miami Dolphins player Nolan Carroll on the side lines.
IN TROUBLE
Police say Conrad Hilton, the younger brother of Paris Hilton, was arrested at his ex-girlfriend’s Hollywood Hills home on suspicion of violating a restraining order. Officer Liliana Preciado says the woman called police Monday to say Conrad was trying to gain access to her property. The 21-year-old was taken into custody without incident and later released on $5,000 bail.
CLUB PROTOCOL
A Minneapolis nightclub says rapper Lil Wayne refused to perform a scheduled show after members of his entourage weren’t allowed in. The Venue on First Avenue said on its website that several members of the rapper’s crew refused to submit to pat-downs and metal detectors and provide ID before entering the club ahead of Sunday night’s show; the checks were “standard safety procedures.”
PLAYING FOR THE POPE
Juanes said he’s deeply honored to be among the artists selected to sing for Pope Francis this fall. Italian tenor Andrea Bocelli and the Philadelphia Orchestra were also announced as performers at the Festival of Families Sept. 26. “This means so much to me,” Juanes told The Associated Press from Colombia. The 42-year-old singer, who has a home in Key Biscayne, called the pope “a very accepting person, a person who brings people together.”
CONCERT CHAOS
Police say as many as 300 people were kicked out of the concert of country music stars Kenny Chesney and Jason Aldean at Lambeau Field in Wisconsin. Press-Gazette Media reports around 300 people were tossed from Saturday’s concert, mostly for fighting, harassment and extreme intoxication; 25 were arrested.
