‘Wish I Didn’t Miss You’ Singer
Published
Angie Stone — a singer and member of the iconic hip hop trio The Sequence — has died … TMZ has confirmed.
The late star’s rep Deborah R. Champagne tells TMZ … Angie left a performance in Montgomery, Alabama early Saturday morning when she was killed in a car crash. No other details are known at this point.
Deborah tells us she just spoke to Angie last night … and the news has rocked and devastated friends and family.
Angie rose to fame as a member of The Sequence — the first all-female group signed to Sugar Hill Records.
The group dropped three albums during their time together between 1979 and 1985 … and dropped their song “Funk You Up,” which has been sampled in numerous other tracks over the years like Bruno Mars’ “Uptown Funk” and Dr. Dre’s “Keep Their Heads Ringin’.”
Angie embarked on a solo career in the late 1990s … and, her debut album “Black Diamond” went gold in the U.S. Two years later she released “Wish I Didn’t Miss You” … one of her most popular songs ever.
Angie later made the jump to film appearing in movies like “The Hot Chick” and the Kevin Hart comedy “Ride Along.”

We have reached out to Montgomery authorities for more information on the crash … so far, no word back.
Angie is survived by her son Michael, daughter Diamond and 2 grandkids.
She was 63.

Mom Michelle Arrested For DWI
Published
Michelle Manziel — mother to former NFL QB Johnny — has been arrested for driving while intoxicated … TMZ has learned.
Manziel was arrested Saturday night in Kerrville, Texas … a town about 65 miles northwest of San Antonio.
We’ve obtained Michelle’s mug shot … no smile, but she does have a look on her face that seems almost shocked to be in the situation.
Michelle was being held on $7,500 bail … though it appears that’s been paid and she’s been released from custody. We’ve reached out to local authorities for more information … so far, no word back.
The Manziels have lived in Kerrville for a quite some time … it’s actually the town where Johnny attended Tivy High School before he committed to Texas A&M, won a Heisman and eventually played 14 games in the NFL.
As you may know … Johnny has talked openly about substance abuse issues — admitting he used Oxycontin and cocaine every day after the 2015 NFL season which brought his weight down around 40 pounds in just a few short months.
Manziel said he went on a “$5 million bender” at the time … which ended with him trying to take his own life. He says he’s now sober.
We’ve reached out to Michelle about this DWI arrest … so far, no word back.

last member of Badfinger dead
Published
Joey Molland, the last surviving member of the rock band, Badfinger, has died.
Molland died on Saturday night surrounded by his family, according to the band’s Facebook page. No cause of death has been revealed but he reportedly faced health issues over the years including pneumonia most recently.
“Thank you, Joey…for keeping the band’s music alive for so long and for being a friend to us all,” the band said in their statement on social media. Molland, who played guitar, was a founding member of the Welsh rock group.
Molland joined the band in 1969. They were formerly the Iveys, and were signed to the Beatles’ Apple Records.
The band consisted of Tom Evans, Mike Gibbins and Pete Ham. Evans and Ham both died by suicide. Gibbins died from a brain aneurysm. When the group was all together they recorded a total of five albums.
Joey was 77.

Hanging Out With Noah Centineo
Published
BACKGRID
Zoë Kravitz and Noah Centineo could be Hollywood’s newest couple ’cause the two actors were spotted slipping out of a restaurant together in the early morning hours … one day after her ex-fiancé debuted his new girlfriend.
The potential new couple was photographed leaving a bar/restaurant around 2:20 AM on Sunday. In the video you see the duo make their way toward a nearby car. We’re told by people who were there, the two did leave in the same car, you just don’t see Noah get in on the driver’s side in the video.
The outing was very low key, we’re told. In the photos and video you never see them display any PDA, but the outing is now igniting speculation about their relationship status.
The timing of Zoë and Noah’s night out is interesting because on Friday night, Zoë’s ex-fiancé, Channing Tatum stepped out with his new girlfriend, Inka Williams. The couple was photographed arriving at the CAA pre-Oscars party in Los Angeles.
Channing and Zoë called off their engagement in October 2024 after being together for 3 years.
We’ve reached out to reps for Zoë and Noah for comment … so far, no word back.
