Ye says he's running for president again
Ye is tuning up for another presidential run.
The controversial rapper formerly called Kanye West said he's “working on the campaign” with right-wing commentator Milo Yiannopoulos, according to a video published Ye Sunday by the celebrity gossip website X17. “Thanks, I accept,” Yiannopoulos says in the video when asked if that's an official announcement. The Grammy-winning Ye, 45, ran as an independent candidate in the 2020 election, receiving about 70,000votes across 12 states.
The “Famous” rapper has been at the center of controversy in recent weeks due to repeated antisemitic comments. Instagram and Twitter temporarily restricted his accounts last month, while Adidas terminated its popular Yeezy collaboration of shoes and clothing.
West wrote Sunday on Twitter that he was posting to test if his account worked, then said “Shalom : )” in a subsequent tweet.

Reality TV couple the Chrisleys to be sentenced
Todd and Julie Chrisley were driven by greed as they engaged in an extensive bank fraud scheme and then hid their wealth from tax authorities while flaunting their lavish lifestyle, federal prosecutors said, arguing the reality television actors should receive lengthy prison sentences.
The Chrisleys gained fame with their show “Chrisley Knows Best,” which follows their family. They were found guilty on federal charges in June and are set to be sentenced by U.S. District Judge Eleanor Ross in a hearing that is likely to extend into today. Using a process to calculate a sentencing guideline range based on several factors, federal prosecutors determined the upper end of that range is nearly 22 years for Todd Chrisley and about 12 1/2 years for Julie Chrisley. The couple should also be ordered to pay restitution, prosecutors wrote in a court filing.
