Cuba Gooding, Jr's trial is scheduled to start in Feb. 2022 for his New York City groping case.
According to ABC News, Judge Curtis Farber set the trial date for Feb. 1, which involves the allegations that the 53-year-old violated three different women at three var- ious Manhattan nightclubs in 2018 and 2019.
“This case has been on my calendar for two years, going on three years,” Farber said at a hearing in state court in Manhattan.

woman inappropriately. He was arrested in June 2019 after a 29-year-old woman told police officers that Gooding groped her with- out her consent at Magic Hour Rooftop Bar & Lounge near Times Square. He was charged with the other inci- dents soon after.
Gooding's trial was origi- nally scheduled for April 2020 but was postponed after cases of the coronavirus surged in New York, eventu- ally shutting the state down. He has pleaded not guilty and denies all allegations

Dr. Dre was served with divorce papers as he was lay- ing his grandmother to rest in a cemetery, TMZ re- ported.

Kanye West Officially Changes His Name To 'Ye,' With Judge's Approval
He’s not Kanye, he’s Ye.
A Los Angeles judge last week approved a petition by rapper Kanye West to officially change his name to be known simply as “Ye,” with no middle
or last name.
Los Angeles Superior Court
Judge Michelle Williams Court gave her nod to the re- quest by the singer, who filed his petition Aug. 24 and stated he was making the change for personal reasons.
The entertainer, 44, released an eighth studio album titled
YE
“Ye” in June 2018. It’s been his Twitter handle for some time.
That same year, the singer
said in an interview with radio host Big Boy that he believes “ye” is “the most commonly used word in the Bible, and said in the Bible it means ‘you.'”
Merriam Webster online agrees in terms of the mean- ing, but also goes on to say it is a plural form of “you,” not sin- gular, “now used especially in ecclesiastical or literary lan- guage.” The second definition is the word’s more familiar use as an archaic form of “the,” as in, “Ye olde abbey.”
