Bartender Victor Gutierrez testified Thursday that he was working an evening shift at a Mexican restaurant in Norwalk, California, in late January 2020 when an off-duty Los Angeles County Sheriff’s deputy sat down at the bar, pulled out his personal cell phone and started sharing graphic and gruesome photos of dead bodies. Deputy Joey Cruz, a “regular” customer at Baja California Bar & Grill, claimed the photos were from the scene of the horrific helicopter crash that claimed the lives of NBA superstar Kobe Bryant , his 13-year-old daughter Gianna and seven others two days prior, Gutierrez said, addressing jurors on the second day of testimony at the civil trial for widow Vanessa Bryant ’s invasion of privacy lawsuit filed against Los Angeles County.

Chief Keef endangered the lives of 3 female college students who say they've been forced to flee their crib after Keef sent his 1.11 million Twitter followers on the attack. Keef's tweet on Friday instructed his followers to "throw eggs and s**t in a bag and rocks and all that at this address." The tweet included the address of a Minneapolis area home. One of the 3 women who lives there tells TMZ she was terrified when dozens of people surrounded the house, taking pictures and videos. Although it appears no one threw stuff, they did shoot videos ... some of which Keef reposted. The women say they're innocent victims because it appears Keef's real beef is with a previous renter. Still, the damage is done -- they no longer feel safe because of all the people hanging around outside. They're no longer staying there, and are actively searching for a new place.

T he black Cadillac pulls into the diner’s parking lot in Queens. Built in the 1950s, the building looks like it only exists on a rainy day, the rock-lined exterior out of another time. I step out of the Uber and look up at the restaurant where, in 1983, my father was arrested after escaping federal prison. He had spent two years on the lam, and was brought down by the U.S. Marshals after eating breakfast with his longtime mistress. He had just come from organizing a new shipment from Colombia. I imagine the day was also rainy. Almost 40 years later, I am there to meet with the Drug Enforcement Agency officer who tracked him for nearly a decade, trying to bring down one of the biggest mari juana kingpins of the 1970s, the man I once called “Daddy,” and one of the architects of the modern drug trade: Dan McGuiness. When the Cadillac arrived at my hotel, I had to laugh. The last time I saw my father, he, too, was driving a black Cadillac. He had just arrived in Los Angeles … [Read more...] about Learjets, Mistresses, and Bales of Weed: My Dad’s Life as a Drug Kingpin

EXCLUSIVE : “So you write a story about a movie I’m not doing, and you make the first time Al Pacino and Robert De Niro share the screen together an afterthought?” That’s my recollection of the first words that Michael Mann ever said to me, after I wrote a Weekly Variety column about how he and Leonardo DiCaprio were scrapping their James Dean movie, and oh yeah, Mann would instead direct this crime drama called Heat . Boy, was Mann right. Last night in Toronto, he and cast members Pacino, De Niro, Val Kilmer and Ashley Judd celebrated the 20th anniversary of his seminal Los Angeles crime thriller, one that took about 20 years to go from script to screen. To honor the occasion, he took a trip down memory lane with Deadline, and filled us in on his next film, the one in which Christian Bale will play Italian automobile magnate Enzo Ferrari. That project is similar to Heat, each an epic-sized drama that took forever to solve the creative challenges. Re-watching Heat to … [Read more...] about Michael Mann On The Long Odysseys of ‘Heat’ And ‘Ferrari’ – Toronto Q&A
