Tekashi 6ix9ine should get the hell out of Dodge or at least up his security after his brutal gym beatdown — that’s what most people think — but we’ve learned that ain’t the case.
Sources close to Tekashi tell TMZ … he’s actually been going out in public without his hired muscle pretty regularly over the last year — without issue. We’re told he’s not about to let one incident change the way he lives. He wants to continue to live as normal a life as possible … and is chalking up the gym beatdown as an outlier.
What’s more, Tekashi has no plans on leaving South Florida, despite the attackers saying snitches weren’t welcome in their neighborhood.

As we reported, Tekashi was sent to the hospital after he was pummeled inside the locker room of an LA Fitness — suffering injuries to his back, face, jaw and ribs. Video obtained by TMZ shows one of the alleged attackers chatting on a cell phone before bringing another inside the facility.
From there, you see both men beeline it to the locker room to execute their attack with a third person.
Lance Lazzaro, Tekashi’s attorney, told us he’s going to talk with the feds about getting some protection for his client — but it sounds like 6ix9ine wouldn’t be too keen on accepting any.
Daisy Jones & The Six’s first season came to an end on March 24.
The ending of the season featured changes from the book.
The EPs have discussed a second season.
Daisy Jones & The Six has been an incredible and emotional ride from start to finish. The show made the leap from book to screen with an all-star cast that embodied the characters we know and love perfectly. The final 2 episodes of the show’s first season dropped on March 24.

The lingering question remains: will there be a season 2 of Daisy Jones & The Six? While the series told the full story of Taylor Jenkins Reid’s novel, that’s not to say the show couldn’t continue on and expand on TJR’s material. HollywoodLife has all the latest news about Daisy Jones & The Six season 2.
Will There Be A Daisy Jones & The Six Season 2?
That’s still to be determined. Prime Video has not announced any plans for Daisy Jones & The Six season 2 as of the season finale air date. The streaming service has billed the show as a “limited series,” but there have been limited series that have gotten more than one season before.
The showrunners are open to the possibility of a second season. “I think that would be amazing,” ScottNeustadter told Variety. “If people are interested in this story and these people, maybe we’ll get an opportunity to do that. Leave the door open. Why not? If people enjoy what you’re doing and want more of it, that’s not a bad problem.”
Will Graham added, “We had the most amazing time making the show. For me, that question goes back to Taylor and if she has another chapter for these characters in her head. If we got an opportunity to do it, I think, no question, everyone involved in the show would show up with bells on.”
Scott previously told Town & Country, “There could be more story to tell if that was something people wanted, but time will tell if there’s any interest in such a thing.” Over the course of the first season, the show has become a phenomenon. Daisy Jones & The Six has dominated social media and the music charts with the release of Aurora.
How Did Daisy Jones & The Six End?
The ending of Daisy Jones & The Six’s first season featured some changes from Taylor’s novel. The most notable change is Billy showing up at Daisy’s door at the end of the finale. In the book, Camila writes to her daughters and tells them to have Billy give Daisy a call when he’s ready. “Tell your father I said at the very least, the two of them owe a song,” Camila writes.

The show features Camila saying these in one of her final interviews for Julia’s documentary. She also tells Daisy to answer Billy’s call. In the show’s final moments, Billy walks up to Daisy’s door. She answers when he knocks with a smile on her face. The book leaves it open to interpretation as to whether or not Daisy and Billy’s lives will intersect again, but the show gives us confirmation that they do.
“I feel like the version of this story that ends in the most hopeful way is that they’re going to try to see what it feels like to be in the same room again, after all that time,” Scott told Variety. “And I don’t think we know how that’s gonna go. The ending kind of leaves the door open for a continuation. I feel like there’s a pretty satisfying conclusion, but at the same time, there are some questions that go unanswered.”
What Could Daisy Jones & The Six Season 2 Be About?
The show did tell a complete version of Taylor’s bestselling novel. If the show does continue, it will be in uncharted territory as the writers expand on her material. A second season could pick up in 1997 after Billy shows up at Daisy’s door after 20 years apart.
Daisy Jones & The Six season 2 could explore the band’s reaction to Julia’s documentary. They all made revelations about their time together on camera. Daisy and Billy aren’t the only ones that have a lot of catching up to do. Who wouldn’t want to see Graham and Karen speaking for the first time in 20 years after their relationship fell apart? Karen admitted in the documentary that she did truly love Graham. How would he handle that information?

The series features the interviews taking place 20 years later and not 40 years like in the book. Since there’s still so much interest in the band, they could come together for a reunion performance or tour, which is what really inspired the book in the first place.
Will possibly hinted at season 2 in a response to a fan on Twitter saying that Daisy and Billy “should have been way older when they reunited.” Will responded, “Wonder why we did that.”
TJR previously revealed in a piece for Hello Sunshine that Fleetwood Mac’sThe Dance reunion show, which took place in 1997 (ahem), inspired her to write Daisy Jones & The Six. When she wanted to write a book about rock ‘n’ roll, she always looked to that performance between Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham. “How it looked so much like two people in love. And yet, we’ll never truly know what lived between them. I wanted to write a story about that, about how the lines between real life and performance can get blurred, about how singing about old wounds might keep them fresh,” she wrote.
What About Spinoffs?
The Taylor Jenkins Reid literary universe doesn’t stop with Daisy Jones & The Six. All four of her Hollywood-centered books — The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo, Daisy Jones & The Six, Malibu Rising, and Carrie Soto Is Back — are all connected.
In addition to Daisy Jones & The Six, two more of TJR’s books are getting the adaptation treatment. The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo is currently in the works as a film at Netflix, and a Malibu Rising series is in development at Hulu. With the success of Daisy Jones, you can likely expect these adaptations to have updates very soon.

Happy birthday, Birdie Mae! The adorable daughter of Jessica Simpson and Eric Johnson rang in her 4th birthday on March 19 with a fantastical unicorn-themed birthday bash. In photos shared by the 42-year-old singer and actress on Instagram on March 23, Birdie looked as adorable as ever in a lavender tutu matched with a sequin-covered top, and a pink furry jacket. She completed her look with cowgirl boots that depicted a scene of hills and flowers and a unicorn drawn on her forehead with face paint.
Birdie grinned as she was being held by her father with her mother posing right next to her in the cover photo of the post. Jessica looked just as fabulous as the birthday girl in a purple coat that featured a light pink fur trim. “Birdie Mae Johnson is 4!!!” Jessica began in her caption of the birthday tribute. “This adorable wonder of a unicorn kiddo illuminates every color in the rainbow…her favorite color…Birdie magically makes us laugh AT ALL TIMES capturing attention from EVERYONE!”
“She is uniquely and effortlessly herself,” she continued. “This little lady celebrates and twirls through her life in tutus with a pure unique understanding in her soul of glitter sparkles. We love her SO VERY MUCH and she knows it. Birdie is a symphony of STARDUST and born to SHINE. I smiled the entire time writing this because even when she isn’t home, I feel her presence glowing inside of me. Bird puts the HAPPY to the BIRTHDAY”.
Other photos from the post showed Birdie smiling wide next to a unicorn cake, grinning just as big next to a bunch of pastel-colored balloons in her backyard, and posing with all of her family members, including her 10-year-old sister, Maxwell, and 9-year-old brother,Ace Knute. Other pics included in the carousel had Jessica making a silly face as she carried the unicorn cake, Birdie looking at ease as she got her face painted, and Birde smiling in bed with birthday doughnuts gifted to her by her family. Her birthday was extra sweet with a candy wall at her party, as well. What a dream!
Nine days before Birdie turned 4, Jessica had a special moment with Maxwell, who she invited onto the set of her HSN broadcast. As seen above, Maxwell looked beautiful in a colorful striped jumpsuit with funky flared legs that she paired with a denim jacket. Her grandmother, Tina Simpson, also joined in on the fun and was pictured on set.
Maxwell turned 10 on May 3, which means she’s almost 11! Jessica celebrated her birthday with a precious pic of her in bed surrounded by over a dozen Squishmallows. “How is my first born, best news of my life, and best friend already 10yrs old?!? We had a magical weekend following her lead of rotating friends and family. She begged God to not grow up and to wake up 5yrs old again. She told everyone that she turned 5 and it filled my heart with so much gratitude for this beautiful and precious LOVER OF LIFE, God, her angels (yes, she is the soul that talks to angels and feels them everywhere), family, friends, animals, every creature big and small, all things cozy and fluffy to wear and cuddle,” she gushed.
“Maxwell knows what she wants and communicates her reasoning logically and emotionally in a way that can change most minds (including mine …),” she continued. “Maxi can transform anyones subconscious random judgements or biased opinions in less than 3 minutes. It blows my mind on the daily. She is a leader without ego, a bleeding heart that inspires and loves deeply and forever. She is drop dead gorgeous, funny, empathetic, spacial, loyal, artistic, compassionate, drama-free, timely, hopeful, understanding, creative, athletic, thought provoking, ahead of the curve, resilient, and prayerful.”
“Maxwell Drew Johnson is THE PERFECT 10 and my VERY BEST FRIEND!!” the fashion mogul concluded.
It doesn’t appear Tom Sandoval and Raquel Leviss have lost any feelings for each other despite some serious outside pressure … sharing a deep convo during the show’s reunion.
Check out the pics of Tom and Raquel — both dressed in black like it’s a funeral — as they sit in the parking lot outside their dressing room trailers for Thursday’s taping of the “Vanderpump Rules” reunion show.
BACKGRID
Things look serious at times, but happy during others … all while cameras roll.
Obviously, it’s unclear what exactly they’re talking about, but the show’s special is supposed to get explosive — as it’s the first time Tom, Raquel and his ex, Ariana Madix are all coming face-to-face to talk about Tom’s cheating with Raquel.
TMZ broke the story … show producers also had to navigate the logistics of including Scheana Shay in the reunion as Raquel currently has a restraining order against Shay.
Remember, Raquel claims Scheana attacked her after learning of the cheating situation, dubbed “Scandoval,” and the order demands Shay stay 100 yards away from Raquel. We’re told Raquel and Scheana will be rotated in and out of the reunion set to avoid each other.
On this week’s episode of The Real Housewives of New Jersey, Teresa Giudice explained part of the family spat.
Sort of.
According to her, she felt rejected when Melissa Gorga didn’t allow Gia to visit her house on the Shore. Teresa said that she herself had not been.
Harsh? Or was there maybe some really important missing context here?

Teresa Giudice told some of her castmates that she did not feel welcome at Melissa Gorga’s Shore house.
The reason, she said, was that Gia had once asked Melissa if she could visit. Melissa had flatly told her “no,” according to Teresa.
She then went on to speak about how she craves being surrounded by people who support her, her marriage, and her family.
While at the shore, Melissa Gorga noted how odd it was that her own mother did not receive an invitation, when a castmate’s mother did. (Image Credit: Bravo)
Did Melissa really house-block Gia Giudice, her own niece, over a feud with Teresa?
According to what an inside source tells Page Six, that’s not the case.
“The reason she said no,” the insider explained, “is because it was on a weekend where Joe and Melissa were not going to be at the house.”
Speaking to the confessional camera, Melissa Gorga explains the strategy behind her estranged sister-in-law’s behavior, and who is masterminding it. (Image Credit: Bravo)
According to the source, 22-year-old Gia at that time “wanted to stay there with a couple of friends.”
Here’s the catch: this wasn’t especially recent.
The insider specified that Gia hoped to spend the weekend at Melissa’s Shore house at a time when she was still “underage.”
Even as her castmates try to encourage her to extend an olive branch, Teresa Giudice doesn’t see a difference among her brother’s in-laws. (Image Credit: Bravo)
Whether that means that she was a minor (under 18) or more likely simply not old enough to drink alcohol (under 21), Melissa wasn’t up for it.
Gia’s aunt “didn’t feel comfortable” handing over an empty house to her for that length of time, the source explained.
Melissa felt particularly concerned about how Gia and friends would have had “no adult supervision” in that scenario, the insider specified.

“They obviously love Gia,” our source strongly emphasized.
“If Joe or Melissa — just one adult — [were] at their house,” the insider explained, “they would have let her stay.”
But letting your underage niece stay at your house with friends without an adult is … at best, a case-by-case scenario. It is not unreasonable to decline.

Meanwhile, Teresa said that she had “never” been to Melissa and Joe’s beach house, and made it sound like a major and petty slight.
“Gia asked to stay there once, and Melissa said no,” she lamented, without providing context.
“I wanna be around people that love us,” Teresa then told her gathered friends, implying that Melissa does not. “Like, I feel like you guys are happy for us.”
Residents of Palm Beach, it’s time to put on your dancing shoes!
After a brief hiatus, DJ Donny T is officially back, and the South Florida club scene will never be the same!
Yes, as you’ve likely heard by now, Donald Trump will likely be arrested this week in connection with allegations that he paid hush money to adult film star Stormy Daniels during his 2016 presidential campaign.
But it seems the possibility of a perp walk hasn’t interfered with 45’s ability to party!

According to a new report from Page Six, Trump has returned to a favorite hobby this week:
Apparently, he’s been DJ-ing dance parties at his Mar-a-Lago social club!

According to one witness, Trump spent Tuesday “surrounded by supporters, fist-pumping and giving the thumbs-up.”
Now, that’s probably how Trump spends most nights, but it’s weird that he was in such good spirits on Tuesday, which is the day that he predicted he would get arrested.
“He had a political dinner with five pals without Melania . . . The Donald was deep in serious conversation with what looked like political advisers,” says one onlooker of Donnie’s wild night out.

After the meal, the ex-prez took to the turntables, where he entertained guests with a bizarre medley of tunes.
“Trump couldn’t stop smiling as he played ‘Maria’ from West Side Story, the theme from Phantom of the Opera and a chorus of ‘Hallelujah’ that had people scratching their heads as to exactly what that meant,” said the source.
Maybe Trump was saying the country is so divided that Republicans and Democrats are like the warring gangs in West Side Story, and he feels like a pariah like the titular character in Phantom, but he ends each day by offering up a hopeful prayer that our nation can be made whole again.

Or he just kept getting bored and putting on new songs because he has the attention span of a drunk toddler.
Whatever the case, it seems that Trump is still planning on getting arrested before the week is out.
And of course, he’s hoping to use his run-in with the law for political gain.

An insider tells Page Six that the Trump team is planning to “try and film and document it with their own camera crew, they want a shot of him in cuffs and will release the mugshot. They are loving this stuff.”
So the Donald is definitely focused on the bright side.
And who knows, maybe his legal troubles will inspire some new musical ventures!
