Critics are calling out major omissions in Michael, the new Michael Jackson biopic, noting the absence of key figures like Diana Ross and The Wiz, as well as any meaningful treatment of the abuse allegations that shaped the final decades of Jackson’s life. Multiple outlets report those exclusions stem from legal constraints tied to past settlements, with the Jackson estate allegedly spending roughly $15 million on reshoots to comply, fueling debate over whether the film is a tribute or a sanitized narrative. Meanwhile, long‑delayed justice moved forward as Jay Bryant, the third suspect in the 2002 murder of Run‑DMC icon Jam Master Jay, pleaded guilty to helping gunmen access the studio where the DJ was killed — a case rooted in a drug deal gone wrong and unresolved for over two decades.   On a lighter but still fiery note, the crew debated during The Question of the Day — whether a man should pay for a date’s babysitter after a viral clip showed a woman demanding $250 up front. On My Top 5, D: and Jasmine gave the five top reasons why the White House Correspondent’s Dinner shooting could be hoax. Not that it is a hoax, but they are just saying.   Website: https://www.urban1podcasts.com/the-dl-hughley-show See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
