Ever get so absorbed in your work that you forget to eat?That’s nothing compared to best-selling author and cartoonist Stephan Pastis who told me, “ I kid you not, when I’m coming out of a writing session, when I walk out the front door of the studio, I don’t always do it, but I will often look down to make sure I have pants on. That’s how lost in my own brain I get.”Pastis’s pants-optional procedure is peculiar, but it is productive. (Try saying that five times fast.) The man has written eight books for his hilarious children’s series “Timmy Failure,”…
The midnight settlement between Paramount Global and President Donald Trump was greeted by CBS News employees with what one called a reaction of “disgust and relief.” Disgust, because universally within CBS News and at 60 Minutes, the lawsuit (which was about the editing of an interview the program conducted with former Vice President Kamala Harris) was perceived as baseless, and a multimillion dollar settlement cut by corporate executives is seen as unwarranted. Relief because the months-long melodrama over the suit appears to be over (though there are still some big loose ends that need to be tied). Perhaps most importantly,…

Sean “Diddy” Combs’ Ex Says She Fainted After Reading Cassie Ventura’s LawsuitJane said during her testimony that parts of Ventura’s November 2023 lawsuit—which was ultimately settled—mirrored her own experience with Combs. “I almost fainted, in fact, I think I did,” she told jurors as she cried. “There was three specific pages that was just a harrowing reference to what I was experiencing.” Jane, who took part in “hotel nights, “said that it felt like she was reading “her own story.” It led to her confronting Combs via text messages. “I feel like I am reading my own sexual trauma,” she…
Opinions expressed by Entrepreneur contributors are their own. Summer used to signal a slowdown. It was a time to unplug, travel for vacation and maybe answer emails poolside. But for most entrepreneurs and executives I know, including myself, “slowing down” feels more like a slogan than a reality.Amidst growing businesses, leading teams and showing up for family, it’s not easy to slow down, even during the summer. It often takes me a few days to truly unwind when I travel. I still take the occasional call or respond to emails, but on my own terms and I’m okay with that,…

When Kapo released “Ohnana” in summer 2024, his only expectation was to “create music for a niche.” He didn’t hope for much, other than to have a certain number of loyal fans and play shows across a few cities in Colombia. “My vision was that, but when the song came out, it entered the commercial side in an incredible way,” he tells Billboard. “That’s why I wanted to give my new album a sensible name like ‘in case anyone is listening to us.’” If “Ohnana’s” success is any indication (the song earned Kapo his first Billboard No. 1 on the…

Sean Combs, the rapper and multi-industry mogul, known as “Puff Daddy” then “Diddy,” who captured the hip hop zeitgeist in the mid-1990s and played a key role in mainstreaming the genre, was found guilty of transportation to engage in prostitution but was acquitted of sex trafficking and racketeering conspiracy, the most serious charge in the case and what federal prosecutors spent six weeks trying to prove to the jury to no avail. On Wednesday, the foreman of the 12 person jury read their decisions on a verdict after deliberating for 12 hours and decided that the government’s argument that he…
