"Drakeo the Ruler" fatally stabbed at LA festival

Hip Hop artist "Drakeo the Ruler" was killed at a festival in Los Angeles.

Reports say he was stabbed in the neck at the "Once Upon a Time in LA." concert on Saturday night.

The 28-year-old, whose real name is Darrell Caldwell, was scheduled to perform that night.

Other artists at the show included 50 Cent, Snoop Dogg and Ice Cube. The show was cut short as everyone was asked to leave.

A police investigation is underway, and as of Monday morning, there have been no arrests.

SNL does show with skeleton crew and no live audience due to COVID outbreak

A COVID -19 outbreak among cast members forced "Saturday Night Live" to scrap their originally planned show and improvise.

They announced that several cast and crew members had contracted COVID or been in close contact with someone who has it just hours before airtime.

Musical guest Charli XCX was given the night off, and there was no live audience, but they managed to piece together a show.

Guest host Paul Rudd was inducted into the "Five timers club." (Guests who host five times)

Tom Hanks and Tina Fey gifted Rudd with his "five-timer jacket" during the opening monologue.

The rest of the show was a mash-up of pre-taped sketches, monologues, and old favourite segments.

Rudd joked that "It's going to be a little bit like that new Beatles documentary. A lot of old footage but enough new stuff that you're like, 'OK, I'll watch that."

We love us some Spiderman!

A remarkable opening for "Spider-Man: No Way Home." In Canada and the U.S, it brought in $253 million and $600 million worldwide on its opening weekend.

It makes it the third-best global movie debut in history.

The numbers are the cash injection theatres needed over the last few years.
