Alec Baldwin Accidental Shooting on Set, One Person Dead

Alec Baldwin was filming a scene for a movie that required someone to fire a gun loaded with blanks, but when the gun discharged either shrapnel or a bullet hit 2 people on set ... one of whom had to be airlifted to a hospital.

We're told Alec was filming the scene when someone pulled the prop gun's trigger. It's unclear if the person who loaded the gun mistakenly placed bullets inside, or if something was lodged in the barrel that hit the director as well as the director of photography. Our sources say the director was hit in the clavicle, but the DP wasn't so lucky ... she was a...

Parkland Shooter Nikolas Cruz Deserves Death Penalty, Victims’ Families Say

Nicholas Cruz the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High mass shooter -- doesn't deserve a second chance ... according to his victims' families, who want him sentenced to death.

Max Schachter, the father of 14-year-old victim Alex, says straight-up ... Cruz "is a sadistic murderer and he deserves to die." Max also says his plea for a second chance is "laughable" and believes he should get the death penalty. Tony Montalto, whose 14-year-old daughter Gina was among those gunned down, doesn't accept Cruz's apology either, saying ... "If he wanted to do something for our families, he would've not kil...

Tiwa Savage responds after leaked tape

Tiwa Savage has been trending in West Africa after her sex tape was leaked online. Savage said on Instagram stories that someone had been blackmailing her. “You hated how I was able to control the narrative and get ahead of a story before it consumed me and how I was able to joke on stage about something you thought will destroy me and make me ashamed.” The Koroba hitmaker in a past interview with Power 105 said before the video leaked, she was asked for money, which she opted not to give. "Yesterday I was leaving a radio station in my car and my road manager sent me a message and was like 'Yo check your phone' and I'm like okay, then I checked it and I'm like where did you get it from and he like I just got it like 20 minutes ago.
