D4vd Investigated By Grand Jury In Celeste Rivas Hernandez Case
D4vd, real name David Burke, is the target of a Los Angeles County grand jury investigation in the killing of 14-year-old Celeste Rivas Hernandez. Police found her decomposed body last year in an apparently abandoned Tesla Model Y registered to the ‘Here With Me’ singer. Court documents reportedly showed the vehicle was towed from the Hollywood Hills, according to The Associated Press.

D4vd’s Family Members Appeal Subpoenas To Testify
Police had not publicly named D4vd—pronounced “David”—as a suspect in the case. But according to court documents obtained by the AP on Wednesday (Feb. 25), prosecutors describe D4vd as the target of a grand jury investigation. While he is a target, officials have yet to formally file charges. The documents say:
“Target may be involved in having committed the following criminal offenses against the laws of the State of California, to wit: One count of Murder.”
Meanwhile, grand jury subpoenas went out on Jan. 15, seeking the testimony of three of his relatives. The paperwork was previously sealed in California, where the grand jury investigation has been kept secret. However, the documents became public after D4vd’s mother, father and brother appealed their subpoenas in Texas. According to the court filings, the singer used the address where his relatives reside to register the Tesla that later had Celeste Rivas Hernandez’s body in it. Ultimately, a judge in Texas ruled that the three family members could not ignore the subpoenas and ordered them to appear in California to testify. It’s unclear if they’ve already given said testimony.
Subpoena Reveals Gruesome Details About Celeste’s Body
Police found the body of Celeste Rivas Hernandez on Sept. 8, a day after she would have turned 15. She was a 13-year-old seventh grader when her family reported her missing in 2024 from her hometown of Lake Elsinore. That’s about 70 miles southeast of Los Angeles. Court documents say authorities listed her age as 14 at the time she was killed.
The subpoena says police investigators searching the Tesla in a tow yard found a cadaver bag “covered with insects and a strong odor of decay.” It says “detectives partially unzipped the bag and observed a decomposed head and torso.” Investigators from the Los Angeles County Medical Examiner’s Office responded to the scene.
“Upon removing the cadaver bag from the front storage compartment, it was discovered the arms and legs had been severed from the body,” the document says. “A second black bag was discovered underneath the cadaver bag. Upon opening the second bag, the dismembered body parts were discovered.”
Before the police searched it, the Tesla had been towed from an upscale neighborhood in the Hollywood Hills. It had been sitting there, seemingly abandoned.
For context, the Medical Examiner’s Office had previously said only that police found Celeste’s body severely decomposed. They also previously said Rivas Hernandez had likely been dead for an extended period before police found her body.
Then, in November, Los Angeles police got a judge to prevent Chief Medical Examiner Dr. Odey Ukpo from releasing the findings of the autopsy. Officials have not revealed the cause of death.
What Has D4vd And His Team Said About The Grand Jury Investigation?
D4vd gained popularity among Gen Z fans for his blend of indie rock, R&B and lo-fi pop. He went viral on TikTok in 2022 with the hit ‘Romantic Homicide.’ The song peaked at No. 4 on Billboard’s Hot Rock & Alternative Songs chart. He then signed with Darkroom and Interscope Records and released his debut EP ‘Petals to Thorns’ and a follow-up, ‘The Lost Petals,’ in 2023.
When Celeste’s body was discovered, D4vd had been on tour in the U.S. The tour was to support his first full-length album, ‘Withered.’ Still, he continued to play several shows. Later, the last two U.S. shows, in San Francisco and Los Angeles, along with a scheduled performance at LA’s Grammy Museum, were canceled. His European tour, which was supposed to start in Norway, was also clipped.
Representatives for D4vd did not immediately respond to the Associated Press’s request for comment on Wednesday. Additionally, the outlet says his team has not previously responded to emails from the AP seeking comment on the case. The District Attorney’s Office declined to comment.

What Do You Think Roomies?
The Harry Potter films did not just bring one of the most famous book series ever created to life with groundbreaking special and practical effects. It introduced the world to three actors who would all quickly become beloved household names: Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson, and Rupert Grint. The embodiment of their corresponding characters, Harry, Ron, and Hermione, along with their real-world personalities, would set them in good standing for what came after the Harry Potter series ended with Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2. All three went on to find success, with Radcliffe being the most experimental and arguably the most successful of the trio, which led to his recent interview on the YouTube show Hot Ones.
During this interview, however, Radcliffe revealed that their lives could have been very different, with an offer given to the trio that would have seen them reunite on screen. While the intentions of this idea are clear and would have capitalized on the peak of their stardom, it is absolutely for the best that they declined to take part, as it would have involved an unnecessary and bizarre remake of a classic that surely would have floundered. Beyond the decision itself not to take part, it also reflects the maturity all three actors have shown in their careers from a young age.
The Harry Potter Trio Received an Offer to Remake ‘The Wizard of Oz’
As always, Hot Ones had a plethora of insightful questions beyond the obvious ones most fans would ask. One of them in particular was “What stands out as the most bizarre or unique pitches you’ve said yes to?” Rather than focus on one that he accepted, Radcliffe arguably gave a far better example of a truly “bizarre” offer that he described as “one of the worst ideas” he’s ever heard. Radcliffe explained that “During Potter someone… wanted to cast all three of us, me, Emma, and Rupert, in a remake of The Wizard of Oz,” with Emma Watson as Dorothy and Radcliffe as the Cowardly Lion, though Radcliffe couldn’t remember what Grint was offered, though it seems likely it would have been one of the Scarecrow or the Tin Man.
From the outset, this idea will raise red flags for fans. While Watson would have been rather age-appropriate for the young Dorothy, who learns the true value of home, Grint and Radcliffe feel like they would have been far too young for Dorothy’s friends, who are supposed to support her journey and help her grow. An even more bizarre addition, Radcliffe revealed, was that his Lion “knew karate,” so he would have been a “karate-kicking Cowardly Lion.” Considering the main point of the Cowardly Lion is that he is afraid of conflict, having him also be handy in a fight would have seriously contradicted the character’s nature, and it is clear why Radcliffe and his castmates declined.
The ‘Harry Potter’ Trio’s Decision Shows Their Maturity
Hollywood is full of wild ideas that feel like a cash grab, and this certainly feels like one of them. Even Radcliffe seemed to understand this, saying in the interview that even though he was 14 or 15 at the time, “I don’t know a lot about the world, but this is a bad idea.” When considering what this says about the actors themselves, it shows how Watson, Radcliffe, and Grint were surrounded by great mentors, and how it has paid off in their careers. Of course, the trio’s parents and their own natures will have played important roles, but there can be no doubt that figures such as Alan Rickman, Maggie Smith, and Michael Gambon were also key in developing this more auteur, Thespian approach that can see through bad, unoriginal pitches such as this. Additionally, it helps reflect why the trio has had such well-adjusted lives, with few controversies compared to those of other child stars throughout the years, who had high peaks and fell off afterward.
Overall, we should all be thankful that Radcliffe, Watson, and Grint declined this awful Wizard of Oz remake offer. Clearly, its logic for working was going to be the star power it would bring, rather than the logistics of the story itself. Beyond the idea itself, what matters far more is how it set up Radcliffe’s approach to his future career, taking roles based on how he can showcase his skills rather than raise his stardom. With The Rise and Fall of Reggie Dinkins already being released earlier this week, it’s clear that this approach has garnered Radcliffe great success, and long may it continue.
The Harry Potter series is available to watch on HBO Max and Peacock in the U.S.

Aww, Roommates! Congratulations are in order for Marvin Sapp as he announced his engagement to his longtime friend, Dr. La’Boris Cole. The couple spoke exclusively with Essence about entering their next chapter and shared that Marvin pulled off a proposal that was straight out of a fairytale.

From Longtime Friends To Forger: Marvin Sapp & Dr. La’Boris Cole Embrace Their Next Chapter
While speaking with Essence, Marvin Sapp broke down his history with La’Boris Cole, PhD, plus how he pulled off his smooth proposal. The Gospel Python flipped her birthday into a whole surprise moment. He walked in with Cole thinking they were just celebrating her, but their family waited inside, ready for the big reveal. Right then and there, he dropped to one knee and popped the big question. Sapp shared that he and La’Boris built a friendship that lasted over a decade before they decided to take things to the next level. At first, they kept everything low-key. They protected both their friendship and the romance until they were certain of how they wanted to move forward.
The ‘Never Would Have Made It’ hitmaker also opened up about life after losing his wife and manager, MaLinda Prince Sapp, to colon cancer in 2010. MaLinda’s tragic passing led him to navigate life as a widower, while also raising his three children. Years later, he officially decided to step back into the dating scene. During a 2022 interview with 98.9 Kiss FM of Lagos, Nigeria, Sapp said once he saw his children grow up and heal, he found his own strength again. That’s when he knew he felt ready to build a new life — and a new love with someone special.
“I’m just being a student in this season and really trying to learn how to navigate, how to deal with it. Prayerfully, hopefully, one day I’ll find her, and we’ll live out the rest of our days and make them the best of our days,” Sapp reportedly explained at the time.
More On Dr. La’Boris Cole & How She Won Marvin Sapp’s Heart
When it came to finding “the one,” La’Boris turned out to be that for Marvin Sapp. Essence noted that Cole works as a therapist and a ministry leader. She founded and runs the Born 2 Danz Worship Art Conference and also leads Cole Associates & Counselors of Texas, a behavioral health practice. Her mission in all her work is to help people heal and see their worth.

Roommates, Blueface’s daughter, Journey a.k.a “Pinkface,” is the one who really had the internet buzzing this week. The little one popped out alongside her dad during a recent link-up with streamer Deshae Frost and his little sister Bali. And what started as a cute family collab quickly became a trending online conversation. From playful moments to tiny bits of sass, Pinkface’s personality was front and center — and social media was loving every moment.

Pinkface’s Playdate Moments Are Too Cute
Clips from their meetup show the girls sharing laughs, dolls, and smoothies — though fans couldn’t help but notice a few funny moments in between. Pinkface appeared a little territorial at times, jokingly claiming dolls, smoothies, and even Bali’s mom as hers. Meanwhile, Bali calmly questioned why the sharing rules didn’t apply to everyone.
Still, there were plenty of sweet highlights, including the girls bonding like besties and participating in a playful “no cussing” challenge for candy as Blueface and Deshae supervised nearby. Watchers even flooded timelines praising Bali’s politeness and giggling at Pinkface’s sass, calling it classic kid behavior and a harmless example of big personalities in little bodies. Overall, viewers seemed to enjoy the lighthearted family vibes — with many saying the collab was equal parts hilarious and wholesome.
Playdate Clips Bring Smiles To Viewers
Fans ran straight to the livestream chat on Deshae Frost’s Twitch to share their real-time reactions. Some viewers were cracking up, calling Pinkface hilarious and joking that she wasn’t scared to risk it all — even a little cuss challenge — for some candy. Meanwhile, others chimed in, saying Bali is very well-spoken for her age and seemed genuinely happy to be making a new friend.

Lil’ Mama Runs The Show
This ain’t the first time Pinkface has captured our hearts! Blueface recently gave fans a heart-melting daddy-daughter moment featuring his baby girl, Journey, whom he shares with Jaidyn Alexis. In the clip, Blueface playfully introduced himself on camera. And, lil’ mama wasted no time stealing the spotlight by proudly announcing her own nickname: “Pinkface.” Blue couldn’t hold back his laughter, but Journey made it clear she takes her title seriously and runs a tight ship when it comes to her name.
The rapper even suggested that his son, Javaughn — Journey’s older brother — should hop on the nickname wave too. But, he wasn’t exactly sold on the idea. The adorable exchange had fans smiling at the sweet family vibes and Pinkface’s undeniable star energy.

The 21st century has been blessed with some of the finest sci-fi movies of all time. Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind turned the whirlwind of modern relationships into a mind-bending tale; Children of Men brought a dark and dystopian story that feels evermore relatable; Pixar delivered heartwarming romance with gorgeous animation in WALL·E; and Christopher Nolan had us all hanging on the wobble of a spinning top in Inception. But for some, the greatest sci-fi movie of the century so far is Alex Garland‘s Ex Machina.
Released in 2015, not only did Ex Machina stun both audiences and critics, but, as one of A24’s earliest releases, it helped establish the studio’s reputation as one of the defining names in modern film. Boasting stunning performances from the likes of Domhnall Gleeson, Oscar Isaac, and Alicia Vikander, and a plot that feels as relevant as ever today, Ex Machina is the proud owner of a 92% critics’ score on review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes, with the consensus on the site reading, “Ex Machina leans heavier on ideas than effects, but it’s still a visually polished piece of work — and an uncommonly engaging sci-fi feature.”
If you have yet to catch this defining 21st-century feature, you’re in luck. This March, Ex Machina will be available to stream for free on Plex. If you don’t believe Rotten Tomatoes, then listen to Collider’s ever-reliable Perri Nemiroff, who reviewed the movie at SXSW in 2015 and wrote, “Ex Machina is a strong feature and a huge achievement in a number of ways. There’s a surprising amount of very effective humor courtesy of Isaac’s character, there’s an extremely riveting scenario at the core of the film, and there’s also tons of stunning visual work to admire as well.”
Was ‘Ex Machina’ a Box Office Hit?
Considering its relatively low budget of $13 million and a relatively reduced theatrical release, peaking over just one weekend at 2,004 theaters, Ex Machina made the most of its box office run. In total, the movie earned $38.2 million worldwide, split between a domestic haul of $25.4 million and a further $12.8 million from overseas markets. At the time of its release, it became the highest-grossing A24 movie of all time worldwide, although this record has since been broken several times.
Ex Machina will be available to stream on Plex this March. Make sure to stay tuned to Collider for more streaming stories.

Shia LaBeouf
New Warrant Issued Related to Mardi Gras Arrest: Report
Published
Shia LaBeouf just got hit with more legal troubles … police in New Orleans reportedly issued a new warrant in connection to his bar brawl early Mardi Gras morning on Feb. 17.
The warrant was issued Friday and involves an additional victim from the physical altercation that went down involving the Disney alum at R Bar in the French Quarter, WWL Louisiana reports, citing multiple sources. TMZ has reached out to NOPD for comment … so far, nothing back.
We told you all about the beatdown — Shia allegedly got physical with at least 2 people outside of R Bar … before getting his ass whooped and taken to the clink on 2 counts of simple battery. The official police report also says he hurled homophobic slurs multiple times at a group of people outside the bar.
He was released on his own recognizance — meaning he didn’t have to post bond — hours after his arrest and headed straight to Bourbon Street to celebrate Mardi Gras … and even took his release papers with him to show off to fellow partiers.
On Thursday, a judge tore him apart for his offensive language … and set a $100,000 bail while also ordering Shia to undergo drug testing and enroll in substance abuse treatment. His request to leave the county for his father’s baptism was also denied.
Roommates, the whispers have been circulating for a minute… and now it’s official. Kimora Lee Simmons is reportedly undergoing a name change. But don’t get it twisted, this isn’t just a simple rebrand. Sources close to the mogul say the move signals a full-on personal and professional reset. And, Kimora herself is calling the shots on her legacy and brand identity.
RELATED: Oop! Kimora Lee Simmons Snaps At Russell Simmons After He Slams Her Claim Of Having No Relationship With Her Kids’ Fathers
Kimora Lee Isn’t Here For The Media Spin
In a statement shared by Complex, Kimora explained that the change is rooted in control — of her name, her business, and her story. Additionally, the Baby Phat founder pushed back on recent headlines that she says misrepresented her, including a New York Post article she claims was “full of inaccuracies.” She’s not just talking — she’s taking legal action to protect herself from alleged attempts at extortion or bullying. Kimora frames the name change as part of a larger evolution, one that aligns with her business portfolio and personal intentions while keeping her legacy front and center.
“Kimora’s decision to change her name legally — back to Kimora Lee — is rooted in a commitment to clarity and ownership,” the statement started. “She is no stranger to controversy. Recently, The New York Post published an article based on a flawed premise and full of inaccuracies. That piece has since been quietly revised on multiple occasions in an attempt to evade accountability.”
Why Kimora Lee Is Saying Bye To “Simmons?”
So, why is Kimora Lee Simmons dropping the “Simmons?” Roommates, it’s not just about a name — it’s about control, clarity, and distance. As previously reported, Kimora revealed she has little relationship with her three co-parents, including Russell Simmons. Kimora also shared that she’s basically the primary parent to all five of her kids, relying on her “village” of family and friends to help raise them. “Usually I would say that I co-parent okay, but the kids are with me full-time,” she claimed. She also added that her life “doesn’t ever revolve around a man.”
Just A Name Change… Or More?
Furthermore, the timing isn’t random. Russell’s financial and legal drama has been making headlines, from millions owed in settlements to lawsuits alleging misconduct and nonpayment to multiple women. Kimora didn’t hold back, calling him out from afar and telling him to “go negotiate and answer your accusers.” Meanwhile, she defended her daughters and her own position as a self-reliant mom. Dropping “Simmons” isn’t just a rebrand — it’s seemingly a statement that she’s reclaiming her identity, her legacy, and her power, independent of the chaos surrounding her ex.

Actor Ryan Gosling is one of the most sought-after actors in Hollywood. Although he is best known for romantic comedies like “La La Land” and “The Notebook,” he also revealed more dramatic acting chops in “Blade Runner 2049” and “Drive.” While fans are looking forward to him appearing in “Project Hail Mary,” due in theaters March 20, 2026, “Star Wars” fans are excited to see him appear in a galaxy far, far away in “Star Wars: Starfighter,” which is scheduled for a May 2027 release.

Ryan Gosling Reveals Why He Decided To Join The ‘Star Wars’ Franchise
Although the A-list actor has so far stayed out of many franchise films, he will finally be appearing in a galaxy far, far away when “Star Wars: Starfighter” hits theaters next May. While promoting his upcoming sci-fi movie “Project Hail Mary,” he was asked by io9 about what exactly convinced him to join a galaxy far, far away.
In his response, Gosling credited director Shawn Levy, who is still hot off the success of 2024’s “Deadpool & Wolverine.”
“It was Shawn’s enthusiasm and his vision and the script, and I just avoided these things because they never felt right,” Gosling said. “And I’m glad I did because I feel like, [similar to] a book like this, [it was] worth waiting for. And it is like a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.”

‘Star Wars: Starfighter’ Will Have A Lightsaber Duel Shot By Tom Cruise
Not much is currently known about the film, except for its star-studded cast that includes Mia Goth, Flynn Gray, Matt Smith, and Amy Adams. It appears that there was some serious star power going on behind the scenes as well, as Levy told the New York Times in January 2026 that Tom Cruise helped film a scene “involving a lightsaber duel in the water.”
“Last week, Steven Spielberg was here. And now Tom Cruise is wielding a camera, ruining his very nice shoes. Now when you see the movie, you’ll know that part of it was shot by Tom. I mean, how cool is that?” Levy gushed.

Ryan Gosling’s Character May Be Involved In A Father-Son Dynamic
Promotional images for the film have shown Ryan Gosling on set with Flynn Gray, who has appeared in TV shows like “Going Dutch” and “Wednesday.” In the interview, Levy explained that his father left the family when he was only three, and did not reunite with him until he was thirteen years old.
“I have never, ever connected it before… But I could never figure out why I kept coming back to these stories of a 13-year-old boy being saved by a man. There was something defining about that moment for me. And with ‘Star Wars,’ I’m doing so again,” Levy revealed.

“My dad called me yesterday and asked me how I’m doing. ‘Is the job stressful? Is it hard?’” he said. “I’m like: ‘Yes, this movie is more stressful and challenging than anything I’ve ever done.’ But also, my 10-year-old self is on set with me every day. That’s how I make movies.”

Shawn Levy Compares ‘Starfighter’ To ‘Stranger Things’
The Hollywood Reporter caught up with Shawn Levy in January 2026 to talk about the final season of “Stranger Things,” as he executive-produced and directed a few episodes in the last season of the hit Netflix show.
“If I can balance the epic and the intimate the way the Duffers have with Stranger Things, I’ll make a movie and an original and new Star Wars adventure that can be really satisfying to fans and audiences,” Levy said at the time.
“If I’ve learned anything on Stranger Things, it’s that you can get intimidated by the scale of franchise expectation. But you will lose your way if that’s your focus. I’ve learned the need to stay rooted in character, and themes and relationships on screen,” he continued.
“Yes, there’s spectacle and scale, just like Stranger Things. And of course, Star Wars and Starfighter has spectacle and scale and adventure at a level I’ve never done in my whole career,” he added. “But like Stranger Things, it’s also very much anchored in a human scale character-sized story.”

‘Star Wars: Starfighter’ Wrapped Production In December 2025
In December 2025, Levy took to Instagram to reveal that he had finished filming. “That’s a wrap!” he wrote. “Headed into #Starfighter post-production like…”
While it remains to be seen if Ryan Gosling will be needed for any reshoots, that’s not the only “Star Wars” movie fans have to look forward to.
“The Mandalorian & Grogu,” the first “Star Wars” film to hit theaters since 2019’s “The Rise of Skywalker,” will be released in theaters on May 22, 2026.
