We now have more details about the mishap at Jamie Foxx’s birthday. The incident was apparently caused by crew members of Jackass.
Page Six is reporting that the Oscar winner’s recent celebration of life came to an abrupt end thanks to an indecent attempt at humor. The celebrity website says the In Living Color talent invited a small circle of family and friends to Mr. Chow’s in Beverly Hills, Calif. While dining, someone in the upstairs VIP area starting shining a laser pointer in the shape of a penis to his table. Naturally, this infuriated the comedian especially considering both of his daughters Corinne, 30, and Anelise,16, were both present.
He and some of his party went upstairs to meet the troublemakers. According to TMZ, the area was rented out by Dickhouse Productions, the makers of Jackass. Words were exchanged, which resulted in a confrontation where one of the production crew members allegedly tossed a drink at Jamie’s face, which cut his mouth. Sources tell TMZ the Ray star stood there bleeding and said, “It’s my birthday, what is wrong with you?” It is reported he soon left after the incident, but the Dickhouse Productions crew continued to be aggressive to Jamie’s party downstairs.
A lawyer for Dickhouse has commented on the matter saying, “Although the crew has the greatest respect for Jamie, the version of events that has been presented is totally inaccurate and deeply unfair to those attending their holiday celebration that night.” None of the actual stunt cast members from the Jackass series were present.

Snoop Dogg has been in the game for well over three decades and he has no signs of slowing down after celebrating his birthday recently. Over the weekend, Snoop Dogg brought in his 53rd birthday alongside his wife Shante Broadus at her The Player’s Club strip joint.
TMZ reports that Snoop Dogg and Shante Broadus were the special guests of the evening as family and friends partied to celebrate the special moment under the dark lights of The Player’s Club.

Snoop Dogg and Mrs. Broadus have been together since 1997 and have three children together. Broadus announced the opening of The Player’s Club back in May of this year, and the downtown Los Angeles locale seems to be faring well.
Snoop’s “CDay” as said on The Player’s Club’s Instagram page, certainly looked to be a good time. Instead of going one route and embedding the video of the wild night, we urge those who wish to get a glimpse to check out this Instagram post here but do so knowing that there are scantily clad dancers in the clip.
Happy Birthday to Snoop Dogg.

Lance Bass and Michael Turchin’s twin son and daughter celebrated their third birthday in style Tuesday (Oct. 8).
In photos shared to the *NSYNC alum’s Instagram, the family of four got a jump start on the toddlers’ birthday festivities — they don’t actually turn 3 until Oct. 13 — by serving up Tile Town-themed cakes opening presents and posing in front of a wall of balloons. While daughter Violet blew out the candle on her very own Tiffany-blue cake decorated with small animals, Alexander enjoyed a custom Paw Patrol-inspired cake.
Meanwhile, Bass and the actor — who have been married since 2014 — pose with frosting on their noses and feed their little ones bits of cake. “It’s gonna be THRAYYY!!!” the “Bye Bye Bye” singer captioned the snaps on Instagram, a play on his former boy band’s 2000 smash “It’s Gonna Be Me.”
“The birthday fun is in full swing,” he added. “Tile Town, cake, and two happy toddlers—what more could you ask for?”

Bass and Turchin welcomed Alexander and Violet via surrogate in 2021. “The baby dragons have arrived!!” the musician wrote on Instagram at the time. “I can not express how much love I feel right now. Thank you for all the kind wishes. It meant a lot. Now, how do you change a diaper??!”
The family’s wholesome party comes less than a week ahead of the presidential election, throughout which Bass has been vocal in his support for Democratic nominee Kamala Harris. In July, he filmed a video with the VP, “Hey Kamala, what are we gonna say to Donald Trump in November?”
“Bye bye bye,” she quipped in response.
A few months later, Bass appeared on Andy Cohen’s Watch What Happens Live. While on the show, the performer shared a story about Sean “Diddy” Combs, whose name has been all over the news of late as he awaits trial for charges of sex trafficking and racketeering.
“It’s kinda horrible, but never kinda liked him,” Bass said on the show of Diddy, who opened for *NSYNC on the band’s 2002 tour. “The very last show in Orlando, I overheard him talking to Justin [Timberlake] being like, ‘You need to drop these… effers! You need to go solo! And I was like, ‘I don’t like you anymore Diddy.’ I’m like, ‘At my own show? What the hell?’”
Halsey celebrated her 30th birthday in style Sunday, eating cake and singing karaoke with friends and family at a surprise party that was so great, it changed the star’s perspective on the particularly challenging decade that came before it.
Sharing photos from the gathering via Instagram on Tuesday (Oct. 1), the pop star began by writing that their “life has gone through inexplicable changes the past decade.”
“Some beautiful and awe inspiring, some puzzling and painful,” Halsey continued. “But 30 came like those ten years never happened, (much like the beautiful birthdays back home in Jersey before I had ever heard of the name Halsey) SCREAMING in an Italian American heritage hall with the people I love. I thought the only reason I’d have all these people in a room with me at the same time would be because I was in a wooden box in the center, but there we were. With cake and crying and bare feet.”

The “Closer” singer has been open about the ups and downs she’s faced these past few years, including being diagnosed with Lupus and a rare T-cell disorder in 2022. Last year, Halsey split from longtime partner Alev Ayden, the father of their young son, Ender.
Fortunately, happier days seem to be abundant now for the musician, who recently confirmed their engagement to actor Avan Jogia. The Victorious alum was in many of the photos Halsey shared from the party, feeding her pieces of cake and holding the About-Face Beauty founder in his arms in between karaoke songs.
“I don’t know how they did it,” Halsey continued in their caption. “But they made all the noise of my twenties stop, and replaced it with joy … That buzzer-beater joy is so strong that it settles the 9 years that came before it.
“This birthday is symbolic to me for so many reasons,” the Maxxxine star concluded. “Every birthday till the end of time will be. I am so grateful to see them all arrive. Thank you for all the birthday wishes.”
Halsey’s 30th comes less than a month ahead of their new album, The Great Impersonator, which drops Oct. 25. The star recently unveiled the project’s 18-song track list, having previously shared its cover and variants through a fan scavenger hunt.
The party also comes on the heels of a recent health scare, with Halsey revealing Sept. 26 that they suffered a “very scary” seizure that led to being hospitalized briefly. The “Without Me” artist at one point wished fans a happy Bi Visibility Day from a hospital bed in a video showing Jogia supportively keeping her company nearby.
“I’m home from the hospital now after a few days, so a win is a win!” Halsey later tweeted.
Selena Gomez celebrated her 32nd birthday with an ocean view and a sparkly letter “B” necklace from Benny Blanco.
On Monday (July 22), the singer-actress shared a few photos from her special festivities on Instagram. In one snap, she models a yellow babydoll dress while posing underneath a “Happy birthday Selena” balloon arrangement, with palm trees, sand and miles of blue water making up the background.
In two other pictures, Gomez shows off her romantic accessory — a silver charm around her neck that boasts her boyfriend’s initial. “Thank you so much for your birthday wishes!!” she captioned the post. “I’m very grateful and always thankful … 32.”
Blanco commented, borrowing a lyric from Jay-Z’s “Public Service Announcement”: “i got the hottest chick in the game wearing my chain.”

Earlier that day, the producer dedicated his own post to the Rare Beauty founder’s big day. “i used to play a teddy bear in ur music video and now i get to b urs in real life,” he wrote, sharing a photo from the pair’s “I Can’t Get Enough” music video shoot. “happy bday bb ! i love u !”
“I love you,” Gomez added in the replies alongside a teddy bear emoji.
Gomez closes out her 31st year with several new accolades under her belt, including her first-ever Emmy nomination in an acting category thanks to her performance on Hulu’s Only Murders in the Building. She also recently won best actress alongside her Emilia Pérez co-stars Zoe Saldaña, Karla Sofía Gascón and Adriana Pazat at the Cannes Film Festival.
In honor of her big day, however, the “Lose You to Love Me” singer is choosing to highlight just one specific endeavor: her Rare Impact Fund, which she says has raised $15 million to date for youth mental health initiatives all over the world.
“As always, for my birthday this year I would be so grateful if you were able to donate to the Rare Impact Fund,” she wrote on Instagram. “Please visit RareImpactFund.org to learn more and to donate. No amount is too small, and this is the biggest gift you could ever give me. Love you all!”

Pink is raising her glass to Carey Hart on his 49th birthday.
The singer-songwriter paid tribute to her husband Wednesday (July 17) with a heartfelt message celebrating his latest turn around the sun, writing on Instagram, “Happy Birthday to this beautiful, patient, loving, willing, adventurous, fearless, forgiving, loyal, frustrating, sarcastic, gorgeous, humongous heart of a man.”
“No matter how many times life throws you to the ground, breaks you off or just simply tries to break you, you get back up, dust yourself off, and become better,” she continued. “You’ve healed your traumas, on your own, over and over. I watch you do the work, even after being abandoned, and you never let them win. I’m so f–king proud of you. You’re ten times the father, human, husband, or friend they’ll ever be.”
The 44-year-old “So What” musician also shared a carousel of photos of the former motocross competitor, including shots of the couple posing on a boat, hanging out with their kids and sharing a smooch by the beach. The pair got married in 2006 and now share two kids, 13-year-old daughter Willow and 7-year-old son Jameson.
“We’re lucky enough to have you in our lives,” Pink added in her post. “You are big enough to be smaller than me at times, you sleep on the floor of a bathroom when any of us don’t feel well … You go wherever and whenever to the ends of the earth for this crazy family. 🤣We love you Carebear. We see you. You’re really amazing.”

The celebration comes just a couple weeks after the three-time Grammy winner was forced to cancel her concert in Bern, Switzerland, due to health issues. “I do everything I can to ensure I can perform for you every night, but after consultation with my doctor and exploring all options available, I’ve been advised that I’m unable to continue with the show,” she wrote on social media at the time.
Pink has since returned to the stage for her ongoing Summer Carnival Tour, performing in Copenhagen, Amsterdam and Brussels so far this month. She’s next slated to take the stage Wednesday (July 17) in Leipzig, Germany.
Paul McCartney is another year older and wiser, with the musical legend celebrating his 82nd birthday Tuesday (June 18).
To commemorate the occasion, the Beatles star shared a photo of himself onstage via Instagram. “They say it is my birthday,” he captioned the snap. “I’m looking forward to being spoilt rotten by my loved ones! – Paul”
The night prior to McCartney’s big day, Austin Butler revealed that he’d recently attended a party — which may have been the former’s birthday bash — at the Wings frontman’s house. The gathering was also attended by Ringo Starr, Mick Jagger, Bruce Springsteen, Meryl Streep and Taylor Swift, who at one point DJ’d the festivities, according to the Elvis star.
“That was insane,” Butler told Jimmy Kimmel, who also attended the celebration, on the comedian’s late-night show Monday (June 17).
Kimmel agreed that it was “the craziest party I’ve ever been to in my whole life.”

Four days before his birthday, McCartney and Wings released their new live album, One Hand Clapping. The star also recently unveiled his Eyes of the Storm photo exhibit at The Brooklyn Museum in New York City, featuring a sprawling collection of his own behind-the-scenes snaps from the early days of Beatlemania with Starr, George Harrison and John Lennon.
In November, McCartney unveiled “Now and Then,” a previously unreleased Beatles track recovered from a low-quality tape. The “Silly Love Songs” singer worked with audio specialists to lift Lennon’s vocals from the recording using AI, a process he called “magical” at the time.
“When we were in the studio, we had John’s voice in our ears,” he added in an interview with BBC Radio 1 last year. “So you could imagine he was just in the next room in a vocal booth or something and we were just working with him again … It’s very special for me to be singing with John again.”
JoJo Siwa is ringing in 21 with a bang. The “Karma” singer took to TikTok on her birthday on Sunday (May 21) to share a tipsy video amid her celebratory festivities. “It’s my 21st birthday. I’m drunk as f— right now,” she tells the camera in the clip, appearing to be in her kitchen with […]
