Sean 'Diddy' Combs is set to be sentenced and faces the possibility of years in prison

NEW YORK (AP) — Sean “Diddy” Combs faces sentencing in a sordid criminal case that could potentially keep him behind bars for years. The famed hip-hop mogul was convicted in July of flying people around the country, including his girlfriends and male sex workers, to engage in sexual encounters, a violation of the federal Mann Act.

Prosecutors say he should still spend over 11 years behind bars. Combs' lawyers want him freed now. The sentencing hearing is Friday.

The display opened with crisp monochrome shirts and high-waisted trousers, shoulders drawn upward into a compact, shrugging line.

Benny Safdie's The Smashing Machine” would seem to bear all the hallmarks of something grittier, darker and more disturbing than it is. But despite its grainy, VHS aesthetics, “The Smashing Machine” is a surprisingly conventional and oddly untroubled movie, albeit one that gives Dwayne Johnson an indie-film platform for one of his finest performances, writes Associated Press Film Writer Jake Coyle in his review.
