While you spent Memorial Day winning the hot dog eating contest at your local county fair (like you do every year), Kris Jenner was also taking care of business.

Sydney Morning Herald that Depp could face up to 10 years in prison for ignoring the country’s animal quarantine laws, while the pilot who transported the dogs could be sentenced to two years. The Yorkies are now safe, having been returned to the U.S. where they no longer face the threat of euthanasia. [

In the wake of blues legend
B.B. King’s passing, two of his daughters—Karen Williams and Patty King—have written identical affidavits, released by their lawyer Larissa Drohobyczer, that claim that their father was poisoned by employees LaVerne Toney and Myron Johnson.
“I believe my father was poisoned and that he was administered foreign substances,” they write. “I believe my father was murdered.”
While the affidavits are written by Karen Williams and Patty King, Drohobyczer, who represents most of B.B. King’s 11 children, says, “The family is sticking together … to oust Ms. Toney based on her illegal conduct, conflicts of interest and self-dealing.” [Billboard]
