Wilson Chapman editorA new release from Dave Chappelle titled “What’s in a Name?” dropped on Netflix Thursday, consisting of a speech in which the comedian addresses the backlash he’s faced for transphobic material in his standup.The 40-minute speech — which was released on Netflix without any prior announcement — took place at Chappelle’s alma mater, the Duke Ellington School of the Arts in Washington, D.C., during a planned ceremony to rename the school’s theater after him. The choice by the school was widely criticized due to Chappelle’s inclusion of jokes targeting the transgender community — particularly trans women — in his recent projects like 2021 standup special “The Closer.” Chappelle also had a combative Q&A with Duke Ellington students following the release of the special in November, during which many criticized him for failing to listen to the objections of the LGBTQ community regarding his material.

CBS Los Angeles.Petty, who married Minaj in 2019, had been convicted of first-degree attempted rape of a 16-year-old in New York in 1995 and served four years in prison. However, when he and Minaj moved to California in 2019, he failed to register as a sex offender within the required period of five days. He pleaded guilty back in September on a federal count of failing to register as a sex offender and prosecutors had previously urged the judge to sentence Petty to further prison time.They had recommended 15 months in prison and five years of supervised release, claiming that being under house arrest in the mansion he shares with Minaj in a gated community was not enough of a punishment. Petty faced further legal trouble in August after his alleged rape victim, Jennifer Hough, filed a lawsuit against him and Minaj. Hough claimed that both Minaj and Petty caused her emotional distress and tried to coerce her into recanting her accusation of rape, allegedly offering her $500,000 (£418,000) to do so. Kim Kardashian steps out with Barnsley on her bum and there’s a very wholesome reason whyNipsey Hussle's killer convicted of first-degree murderBradley Cooper kisses Carey Mulligan on set of Maestro filming in Central ParkShe later voluntarily dropped the case against Minaj but her lawyer, Tyrone Blackburn, said the case against Petty was ongoing. Minaj and Petty have yet to comment publicly on the latest sentencing. Got a story?If you’ve got a celebrity story, video or pictures get in touch with the Metro.co.uk entertainment team by emailing us our Submit Stuff page – we’d love to hear from you.

Brad Pitt has opened up further on his battle with a facial recognition disorder, shedding light on the condition, which is thought to affect as many as one in 50 people.The actor said that ‘nobody believes him’ when he says he struggles with face blindness, which is formally known as prosopagnosia.Prosopagnosia sufferers cannot recognise people’s faces, and for many this even includes partners, family members and close friends.It is thought to affect those with the condition for most, if not all, of their life, and is often something people are born with, although it can be acquired later in life following brain damage.Brad, who also said he felt he was on the ‘last leg’ of his career after nearly 40 years, has not been formally diagnosed but believes he has suffered with the issue for a long time.He shared his fear in a recent interview that his lack of ability to recognise people by their faces might form an impression of him being ‘remote and aloof, inaccessible, self-absorbed’.He told GQ magazine: ‘Nobody believes me! I wanna meet another [person with the prosopagnosia].’The Oscar-nominated star previously spoke about his experience with face blindness in a 2013 interview with Esquire, admitting that he thought ‘so many people hate me because they think I’m disrespecting them’ when he failed to recognise them upon subsequent meetings.Brad then took to asking people where he had met them before but said that it ‘just got worse’.‘People were more offended. Every now and then, someone will give me context, and I’ll say, “Thank you for helping me.” But I p*ss more people off.‘You get this thing, like, “You’re being egotistical.
