Welcome to ICYMI, where we recap the pop culture and entertainment news that you might have missed over the past few days.

Let us get you caught up.

Kanye 'Ye' West's list of lawsuits grow

Rapper Ye, otherwise known as Kanye West, has had two more lawsuits added to his growing list of accusations over the last week.

Last Thursday, a former employee referred to only as John Doe lodged a lawsuit that alleges retaliation and infliction of emotional distress. The lawsuit also alleges that Ye tasked Doe with investigating the Kardashian family for links to "sex trafficking", and with hiring private investigators to trail his wife Bianca Censori while she was visiting family in Australia.

Two days later, it came to light that Ye's former assistant Lauren Pisciotta amended a lawsuit she filed in June to include allegations that she was drugged and sexually assaulted by West during a studio session co-hosted by Sean "Diddy" Combs.

In documents obtained by Rolling Stone, Pisciotta says she attended the studio session and was supplied with a drink that caused her to black out, with West admitting later that they "did kind of hook up".

When Pisciotta originally filed her lawsuit earlier in the year, West's legal representative refuted the claims and said that they would be pursuing legal action against her.

While the session was hosted by Combs, he is not named as a party in the suit and no wrongdoings are alleged against him.

West has yet to comment on the updated lawsuit.

Actor Simu Liu says simmer down after Bobba hubbub bubbles over

It was not a good time to be boba tea company Bobba this weekend.

The Montreal-based start-up went on Dragon's Den — Canada's version of Shark Tank — to spruik their ready-to-drink teas and popping pearls, but were shot down by actor Simu Liu.

Businessowner Sebastien Fiset tried to nab $CAD1 million in investment money by calling the widely beloved beverage, "that trendy, sugary drink you are queueing up for, and you are never quite sure about its content".

Liu, who is the show's first Chinese-Canadian "Dragon", called out Bobba for trying to "disrupt bubble tea".

"Then there's also an issue of cultural appropriation. There's an issue of taking something that's very distinctly Asian in its identity and quote-unquote 'making it better', which I have an issue with," he said.

Fiset doubled down to defend his product, claiming that bubble tea is not an "ethnical" product anymore.

"You know, I started [my] venture company for a lot of reasons, but really, primarily to uplift minority entrepreneurs," Liu explained.

"And not only do I feel like this is not happening here, but that I would be uplifting a business that is profiting off of something that feels so dear to my cultural heritage. I want to be a part of bringing boba to the masses, but not like this. So for that reason, I'm out."

The video went wild on TikTok, grabbing more than 7.1 million views and thousands of comments disparaging the business owners. So much so that Liu came out with his own TikTok telling people to back off.

"First and foremost, I think we hit on a really important cultural conversation," he says.

"On the flipside… I just want to say that, full-stop, it's never OK to make threats, it's never OK to bully and harass online.

"And I don't mean the business owners don't deserve valid criticism, and I don't believe that you should not be vocal about your disagreement, but you know I think we can all agree — common sense — there's a line that you don't and shouldn't cross.

"I just don't want the legacy of this segment to be pitchforks and people fearing for their safety, I think we're starting to lose the plot of the positive energy of this, which is: let's educate people, let's make the world a better place."

Stevie Nicks lights up SNL 40 years later

Saturday Night Live is pulling out all the stops for its 50th season, with this weekend featuring Stevie Nicks's triumphant return to studio 8H after more than four decades.

In between a delightful Oasis takedown and host Ariana Grande showing off her Jennifer Coolidge impression, the 76-year-old singer took to the SNL stage to perform classic 'Edge of Seventeen' and her new single 'The Lighthouse', which was inspired by the overturning of abortion protections in the US.

"I have often said to myself: this may be the most important thing I ever do, to stand up for the women of the United States and their daughters and granddaughters — and the men that love them," Nicks said when she released the single in September.

The last time Nicks performed for SNL was in 1983 when she was 35 (and had much bigger hair), singing 'Nightbird' and 'Stand Back' after wrapping her tour for her album The Wild Heart.

Olivia Rodrigo meets international superstar Pesto the Penguin

If you've been hearing a faint, high-pitched squeal around town at the moment, don't be alarmed: Olivia Rodrigo's tour has just hit Australia. 

The 21-year-old pop star is wrapping up her massive Guts tour for 2024 with eight Australian stadium shows (four in Melbourne, four in Sydney), and reviews from the first nights have called the elaborate show "nothing less than spectacular".

But, more importantly, Rodrigo made sure to take some time to meet the most famous figure in Melbourne right now: Pesto the penguin. 

In case you don't know (seriously, how do you not know), Pesto is the largest penguin that Melbourne aquarium has ever housed, already dwarfing his parents at just nine months old.

His internet fame hasn't only attracted Olivia; Katy Perry stopped by to say hi to the chick last month when she was here to play the AFL grand final.

Someone get Pesto a Met Gala invite, stat! (His penguin suit should be coming in any day now, hehehe.)
