Dolores O’Riordan Dies; Cranberries Singer Was 46

Dolores O’Riordan, lead singer of the popular Irish rock band the Cranberries, has passed away at the age of 46. Reps for O’ Riordan confirmed the news of her death just moments ago. O’Riordan’s passing has been described as “sudden,” and the cause of death is currently unknown to the public. The singer was reportedly in London for a recording session and was rushed to a local hospital, where medical staff were unable to resuscitate her. Known for her distinctive mezzo-soprano voice, O’Riordan replaced the Cranberries original lead singer after a successful audition in 1990. During her time as frontwoman, the band enjoyed tremendous commercial success and rose to international fame. O’Riordan and her bandmates recorded 8 top-20 hits, including such perennially popular tunes as “Linger,” “Zombie,” and “Dreams.” The band split up in 2003 but reunited after a several-year hiatus, during which O’Riordan recorded two solo albums. O’Riordan’s frequently-changing style made her a ’90s style icon, and the Cranberries were often name-checked in the pop culture of the time, including a memorable mention in the comedy classic Clueless . In recent years, the singer made tabloid headlines several times as a result of her tumultuous personal life. In 2014, O’Riordan was arrested for assaulting a stewardess and a police officer aboard an Aer Lingus flight to New York. That same year, she split from her husband after 20 years of marriage. In 2017, the Cranberries released an acoustic album and embarked on an intercontinental tour that was cut short due to O’Riordan’s persistent back problems. While her band’s popularity peaked in the 1990s, O’Riordan remained an in-demand performer and a popular figure in Ireland until her death. She was invited to perform at the Vatican on several occasions, and in 2006, she was listed as one of the ten richest women in Ireland. Loving tributes from friends and fans made O’Riordan a top trending topic on Twitter within minutes of when news of her death went public. She is survived by two children. Our thoughts go out to O’Riordan’s family during this difficult time.

Chelsea Houska: The Precious Story Behind Aubree’s Name Change!

Over the weekend, we heard some pretty fantastic news about Chelsea Houska and her precious little family … Her daughter Aubree finally got her last name changed ! Yep, after years of Chelsea contemplating the change, and after Aubree expressed her feelings about being the only member of her family without the last name DeBoer, there was a court date earlier this month to sort everything out. During the hearing, Adam Lind didn’t contest Chelsea’s request to change Aubree’s last name from Lind to Lind-DeBoer. He also didn’t fight her request to switch his supervised visits with their daughter from his parents’ house to an actual supervised visitation center. None of that really sounds like the Adam we know — that guy would have made this whole process completely unbearable, just for fun. But since it seems like he’s fallen deep into a meth addiction , complete with suicide threats and domestic violence arrests … Well, he’s probably doing a lot of things we wouldn’t have imagined. Putting all the Adam sadness aside for a moment though, let’s focus on the nice part of this whole story. The nice part, of course, being that little Aubree Lind-DeBoer is a very happy girl right now! As a source revealed to The Ashley’s Reality Roundup, “Aubree is so happy that DeBoer was added to her name.” “Over the last year or so, especially after Watson was born, Aubree has repeatedly asked Chelsea and Cole why she’s the only one in the family who doesn’t have ‘DeBoer’ as her last name.” The insider said that she “understood she has a different dad,” but that “she kind of felt left out being the only one with a different last name.” Those are some complicated family dynamics for sure, so it’s understandable why she’d feel confused and left out. And now that she’ll have to head to a supervised visitation center now to see her father, who by many accounts is almost unrecognizable due to his drug use … It’s nice to have something to smile about, that’s all. Obviously Chelsea didn’t bring Aubree along to the hearing with Adam, so how did they tell her about her new name? The source explained that “They surprised her with a cake that had ‘Aubree Lind-DeBoer’ on it,” and that “Aubree was so thrilled and it was adorable.” But you know who wasn’t thrilled? Hint: he’s never been thrilled about anything in the history of his entire existence, and he also enjoys meth. Yep, The Ashley’s source claimed that although Adam didn’t fight the name change, he is “not happy” with it, either. Which is funny, because Chelsea is probably “not happy” that her daughter has a violent, hateful jackass for a father. But hey, there’s only one person whose happiness really matters right now: Aubree’s. View Slideshow: Teen Mom Dads, Husbands & Boyfriends Ranked: Who’s #1?! And if there’s any truth at all to this report, we’d say she’s pretty darn ecstatic right now. Congrats again, Aubree!
