Will Smith could have been arrested over his shocking Oscars slap, last month.The King Richard actor left Hollywood reeling when he stormed the stage at the ceremony, in LA, to confront Chris Rock over a joke he made at the expense of Jada Pinkett Smith.Questions were immediately raised on how the 53-year-old was allowed to remain in the venue, and able to collect his Oscar on stage shortly after the incident – with organizer Will Packer revealing that comedian Chris stopped the LAPD from arresting the star.According to reports, he was still at risk of getting in trouble with the law over the incident, as many in the star-studded audience could have asked for a ‘citizen’s arrest’ to be performed.It has been reported that, under California law, ‘a private person may arrest another for a public offense committed or attempted in his presence.’However, TMZ states that no one in the audience asked to do that.The publication reports that people approached the one LAPD team member stationed at the Dolby Theatre on the night but, as the officer did not see the slap in person, they couldn’t make an arrest unless Chris gave them the okay, which he did not.LAPD sources reportedly said the officer was backstage when the slap – which is misdemeanor battery – occurred, and the only way he could make an arrest on his own is if it was committed in his presence.The officer approached Chris backstage to check if the Grown Ups actor wanted to press charges, but he declined.Oscars producer Will previously discussed the incident in an interview with Good Morning America, and explained that the police were ‘prepared’ to arrest him.‘They were saying, you know, this is battery was the word they use in that moment,’ he said, according

Oscars 2022.Chris has once again reportedly refused to comment on the controversy surrounding Will slapping him at the recent Oscars ceremony.Comedy fans were given a jump for their lives when Chris surprised them for a stand-up set at New York City's Comedy Cellar last night.As soon as he took hold of the microphone, he said: "Lower your expectations, I'm not going to address that s***", according to Page Six.He is currently doing his Ego Death tour, with many dates sold out after last week's Oscars incident.During his first public appearance since the Oscars slap, Chris was met with Will Smith chants from the audience, but he decided not to quiet them.He did, however, briefly address the slap during the show, noting that he does still need to "process" the incident.Chris told the crowd: "I haven't talked to anyone, despite what you heard."Meanwhile, his younger brother Kenny Rock has made sure to comment on the memorable incident.He said: "It eats at me watching it over and over again because you've seen a loved one being attacked and there's nothing you can do about it."My brother was no threat to him and you just had no respect for him at that moment."You just belittled him in front of millions of people that watch the show", he said to the Los Angeles Times.Will slapped Chris after he joked that Will's wife Jada, who has openly struggled with alopecia, was set to star in GI Jane 2 due to her shaved head.On Friday, as a result of his actions, Will announced that he had resigned from the Academy, which means that he won't be able to vote for the Oscars or attend special Academy events in the future.However, he will still be eligible for future Oscar nominations.The statement read: "I have directly responded to the

The Weeknd and Swedish House Mafia have been announced as last-minute headliners for Coachella 2022, replacing Kanye West.Last week, it was reported that Ye was pulling out of his closing night headline sets for the two-weekend event, which takes place April 15-17 and April 22-24 in Indio, California.The news has now been confirmed by Coachella, who took to Instagram this afternoon (April 6) to share a new line-up poster featuring “Swedish House Mafia x The Weeknd” on the Sundays of April 17 and 24 in place of Kanye.Swedish House Mafia had already been scheduled to perform at the festival, with The Weeknd now joining them for a bill-topping joint set.“I’m so looking forward to this moment with Swedish House Mafia and the Weeknd finishing out the Sunday night slot this year,” Coachella organiser Paul Tollett told Variety of the news.“Coachella has a special relationship with Abel [Tesfaye] and I’m so thankful to have this upcoming performance with these iconic artists all on the same stage.”“The Party & The After Party,” Coachella labelled the news.

Chris Rock isn’t ready to talk about the 2022 Oscars.

Steve Coogan has shared his thoughts about Will Smith slapping Chris Rock at the Oscars, describing the incident as 'appalling arrogance.' The Middleton-born film and TV actor and comedian said the altercation was the 'epitome of all that’s twisted and horrible about Hollywood' in a conversation on BBC's Loose Ends show.

Jem Aswad Senior Music EditorAs predicted, Swedish House Mafia and the Weeknd will replace Kanye West at Coachella on Sunday night.They will perform in the festival-closing Sunday night slot, joining Harry Styles (Friday) and Billie Eilish (Saturday) as Coachella’s 2022 headliners.Although many media outlets reported that the Weeknd would take the slot himself, that was never a realistic proposition: For the past several months he’s been immersed in the HBO series “The Idol” — which he is co-writing, co-directing and stars in — and his own stadium tour doesn’t start until July.Other names thrown into the week’s frenzied prediction mix include Justin Bieber, Travis Scott, Silk Sonic (featuring Bruno Mars and Anderson .Paak) and Tyler, the Creator. When the 2022 Coachella lineup was announced back in early January, Swedish House Mafia had rare, almost unprecedented placement in the hierarchy of the festival’s all-important official poster: in a headliner-sized font, but at the bottom of the lineup, and with no specific date listed.A few days later, Variety unspooled several hundred words speculating about what that might mean, one possibility of which was that the festival was hedging its bets in case headliner Kanye West — who’d pulled out of a previous Coachella lineup literally days before it was announced — pulled out again, which is exactly what happened on Monday.It is important to note that not just anyone can pull off a headlining set at North America’s biggest and most popular music festival.

Facing the future. After receiving major backlash for slapping Chris Rock at the 2022 Oscars, Will Smith is worried about what will happen to his career from here.

Red Hot Chili Peppers frontman Anthony Kiedis has become the latest star to respond to Will Smith’s viral slap of Chris Rock at last month’s Oscars.Last month, Smith struck the comedian on-stage during the Academy Awards ceremony following a joke about his wife Jada Pinkett Smith’s shaved head. Following numerous apologies over the incident, Smith resigned from the Academy and described his actions as “shocking, painful, and inexcusable”.Asked by Howard Stern what he thought of the incident, Kiedis originally replied that “too much has been said already.”The band’s guitarist John Frusciante then stepped in, saying: “We love Chris Rock and I’ll stand forward and say he should not have been slapped.” Rock inducted the band into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 2012.Kiedis then did give his take though, telling the host: “I love comedy.
