In case you missed the horrible, awful, very bad news, Carrie Fisher, beloved actress and human, had a heart attack yesterday . It happened while she was flying from London to L.A., and it was a seriously bad one — so bad that after the flight landed, it took paramedics 15 minutes to even find a pulse. She reportedly stopped breathing while the plane was still in the air, and in the minutes it took the plane to land, an EMT who was luckily on the flight kept her alive with CPR. As she was transported to the hospital, she had to wear an oxygen mask, and we also heard that she was on a ventilator in the ICU. Her condition was listed as critical, but now we’ve got an update. And thankfully, it’s good news! Kind of! Carrie’s brother was kind enough to speak with several media outlets last night, and he said that her condition is now stable. But while that sounds like a big improvement from all the awful things we heard immediately after the news of the heart attack broke, his details aren’t quite as uplifting. For example, while the AP reported that he said Carrie was stable, he told Variety that any stories you might see that refer to her as “stable” were simply “writing between the lines.” “There’s nothing new from the doctors,” he explained. “There’s nothing new at all. There’s no good news or bad news.” “She’s in the ICU and everybody’s praying for her.” He told another outlet a similar story, that “She is in the intensive care unit, she is being well looked after. If everyone could just pray for her that would be good.” “The doctors are doing their thing and we don’t want to bug them. We are waiting by patiently.” “We don’t know,” he added. “We hope for the best. We certainly do not know her condition, that’s why she is in ICU.” “I’m sure everyone wants to speculate, but now is not the time for that.” So yes, that’s all very confusing. It sounds like perhaps he was a little premature in referring to Carrie as “stable,” or that maybe he was misunderstood. It would make sense — his sister just had a serious heart attack a couple of hours before, at most. No one would blame him for not being exactly press-ready. It was in the other interviews that he actually gave a few details, and those details are that Carrie is still in the ICU, her condition is still serious, and they don’t know much else. Again, best wishes to Carrie and her family at this time. We’ve lost enough beloved people this year, the world doesn’t need to take her, too.

Azealia Banks is having quite the, um – interesting? – day on social media. Earlier today, Banks joked about having a miscarriage in a Facebook rant that’s since been deleted. Obviously, that earned the eternally-thirsty rapper some of the attention she so desperately craves, but obviously it wasn’t enough. If you’re familiar with Ms. Banks’ career, you know that she’s less well-known for her music (though “212” is admittedly the jam) than for her hilariously melodramatic beefs with other celebrities. Previously, Azealia has feuded with Iggy Azalea , Kanye West, Jay Z, and just about anyone else who has ever rapped, listen to rap, wrapped a present, or used the phrase “it’s a wrap.” So we suppose it was only a matter of time before Azealia set her sights on the self-proclaimed queen of hip-hop, Nicki Minaj. Check out the (since deleted) Facebook rant that Azealia posted to her Facebook page, in which she reveals that she’s working on music with Nicki’s ex, Safaree Samuels , and otherwise goes off on her fellow emcee: “Nicki girl… now listen. Don’t start throwing shade cause you miss Safaree and know that I’ve actually made a BANGER with him. “Don’t get mad, get even. Slim down a bit (especially in your neck and arms). Decrease the butt just a bit (I’ve seem your butt make some really expensive dresses look really cheap) and STOP WEARING SPANDEX AS AN OUTFIT FOR F–KS SAKE. “Also stop calling yourself the queen of rap. Queens don’t wear spandex sweety. Marketing genius yes but your cheap made in China perfume smells like car freshener and your beverage tastes like kitchen cleaner. “McDonalds sells a lot of burgers but no one is telling McDonald’s that they’re the pinnacle of cuisine and taste. This is true of you.” She goes on to argue that not only did Nicki rip off Lady Gaga, she was at her best when she was stealing Gaga’s look: “I don’t understand why you are so impressed with yourself. “Do yourself a favor and image search gaga 2011 and pick that back up! The “real” Nicki is not as interesting as Gaga knock-off Nicki. “In 2017 I hope you find some new inspiration and decrease your butt implants you would honestly look SOOOOO much better if they were just 150 cc smaller.” It’s actually not the first round of the ongoing Azealia vs. Nicki feud, but it’s definitely the most brutal. Astonishingly, Nicki has yet to fire back, but you can bet it’s coming.

Last night, the world learned that beloved sitcom star Alan Thicke passed away after suffering a massive heart attack while playing hockey with his son. Thicke has been mourned by millions on social media, including many celebrities who knew the actor personally. Of course, despite his many roles over the years, Thicke remains best known as Jason Seaver on the long-running ABC series Growing Pains – a show that also launched the career of one of Hollywood’s biggest stars. Leonardo DiCaprio wasn’t an original member of the Growing Pains cast, but he’s often said that when he signed on in the show’s final season, at the age of 16, he was welcomed like family. Today, the Oscar-winner posted a moving tribute to Thicke on his Facebook page: “Alan was a devoted father, husband, friend and role model. He knew how to harness the power of the entertainment industry to be a positive influence in so many lives – including mine. “I will be forever grateful for the opportunity I had to work with Alan early in my career. He had tremendous class, a huge heart, and he taught me and so many others the valuable lessons about humility and gratitude. “I’ve seen him a number of times over the years and when Alan Thicke walked in the room, quite frankly, no one was cooler. I miss him already – my thoughts and prayers are with the entire Thicke family during this difficult time.” Actor Kirk Cameron, who starred on the show as Thicke’s son, Mike Seaver, also shared come kind words about one of his first co-stars on social media: “I spent Monday through Friday for seven important years with Alan Thicke as my ‘TV dad.’ I’m shocked and truly heartbroken today at the news of his death,” Cameron wrote on Instagram. “Alan was a generous, kind and loving man. I am so blessed to have grown up with him. Chelsea and I send our love and prayers to his family tonight. We will cherish the memories…’sharing the laughter and love.'” Thicke is survived by three children, including his eldest son, pop singer Robin Thicke.

Alan Thicke, a veteran actor best known and beloved for his role as the patriarch on Growing Pains, died suddenly on Tuesday afternoon. He was 69 years old.

Sources confirm to TMZ that he and Carter were on the ice around 11 a.m. when Thicke began experiencing chest pain; he the got nauseous and vomited. The ambulance picked the actor up around a half hour later and took him to the hospital. Thicke received a 1988 Golden Globes nomination for his portraual of Jason Seaver, Growing Pains. A decade later, he was nominated for a Daytime Emmy as a co-producer for the game show Pictionary. More recently, the actor – who was the father of singer Robin Thicke, along with two other kids – and his family starred on the reality show, Unusually Thicke. He also appeared as himself on This Is Us Season 1 Episode 1 .

It’s hard to imagine a more convincing Santa Claus than Knoxville, Tennessee resident Eric Schmitt-Matzen. With his long white beard, easy smile, and 6-foot, 300-pound frame, Schmitt-Matzen is like a Saint Nick drawing come to life. But the most important similarity between Schmitt-Matzen and every kids’ favorite gift-giver has nothing to with appearance, and everything to do with the ability to spread joy to children, even in the most difficult of circumstances. Schmitt-Matzen recently shared a heartbreaking tale with the Knoxville News Sentinel about the dying wish of a 5-year-old boy who loved Christmas. The 60-year-old says he received an urgent request from a Knoxville area nurse, who told him that the boy had informed staff that what he wanted more than anything in the world was a final visit from Santa. “[A local nurse] said there was a very sick 5-year-old boy who wanted to see Santa Claus,” Schmitt-Matzen tells the paper. “I told her, ‘Okay, just let me change into my outfit.’ She said, ‘There isn’t time for that. Your Santa suspenders are good enough. Come right now.’ ” Upon arriving, Schmitt-Matzen instructed staff and visitors that it was crucial they maintain their composure: “I sized up the situation and told everyone, ‘If you think you’re going to lose it, please leave the room,'” he says. “If I see you crying, I’ll break down and can’t do my job.’” It’s not hard to see why Schmitt-Matzen experienced a moment of self doubt, but those present say that from the moment he entered the sick child’s room, he never broke character for an instant: “‘Say, what’s this I hear about you’re gonna miss Christmas?'” the professional Santa recalls telling the boy. “There’s no way you can miss Christmas! Why, you’re my Number One elf!’” The frightened child informed Schmitt-Matzen that he had been told he was going to die, and was filled with questions: “‘They say I’m gonna die. How can I tell when I get to where I’m going?’” the boy asked. “‘When you get there, you tell ’em you’re Santa’s Number One elf, and I know they’ll let you in.’” Schmitt-Matzen replied. The two hugged, and the boy uttered his final words: View Slideshow: Celebrities Who Passed Away in 2016: Gone, But Not Forgotten “Santa, can you help me?” “I wrapped my arms around him. Before I could say anything, he died right there. I let him stay, just kept hugging and holding on to him,” Schmitt-Matzen explained. “Everyone outside the room realized what happened. His mother ran in. She was screaming, ‘No, no, not yet!’ I handed her son back and left as fast as I could.” Schmitt-Matzen says he initially felt that he would never be able to portray Santa again after such a life-changing experience, but had a change of heart after suiting up again for a group of children. “When I saw all those children laughing, it brought me back into the fold. It made me realize the role I have to play,” Schmitt-Matzen said. “For them and for me.”
About a decade ago, Chris Crocker rose to viral infamy. Long before Chewbacca Mom and other random people dominated the news for 15 Minutes here and there, Crocker sky-rocketed into an Internet sensation without the assistance of Twitter or Facebook. He did so as the result of the following video, in which Crocker begged, pleaded and cried for people to leave Britney Spears alone, back when the singer was experiencing a few personal and professional hiccups. Actually, to be more accurate, Crocker begged, pleaded and cried for people to LEAVE BRITNEY SPEARS ALONE , as you can see below: Chris Crocker: LEAVE BRITNEY ALONE! In response to this emotional video, Crocker was the victim of mockery and derision by complete strangers and also by the media. For years, really. So the young man knows a thing or two about getting made fun of. He speaks from experience. And he’s now using that experience to call out none other than Donald Trump. Crocker – who hasn’t really been heard from since the fallout of his viral video and who says on Twitter that he likes “food” and to speak his “mind” – hilariously wrote the following this week: As you can see above, Crocker simply could not handle Trump claiming on Twitter that the press isn’t handling him with accuracy or honor. The guy was elected President of the United States. You would think that might satisfy his very fragile ego; or at least make him realize that he has to act more like a dignified human being than as a scorned sixth grader. Instead, Trump jumps on Twitter every time Saturday Night Live offends his sensibilities or nearly anyone in the country criticizes his behavior. “Hi. I’m the “Leave Britney Alone guy”. I was a meme & laughing stock for 10 years. I delt it,” wrote Crocker in his perfect Tweet, concluding as follows: “You’re the President-Elect. Grow up.” We’d say this was no big deal and that we’ll never hear from Crocker again, but have you seen how Donald Trump operates?!? The dude recently re-Tweeted some random 16-year old just because he agreed with what the teenager wrote. Do you really think Trump is above engaging with Chris Crocker on social media?!? And by engaging , we mean insulting , of course. So, while we await Trump to start a feud with someone best known for imploring the universe to give Britney Spears a break, allow us to offer Crocker a compliment. We don’t want him to feel bad when Trump inevitably goes off, so hopefully he reads this and remembers it. Hopefully he takes our words to heart. Chris: we just saw your Twitter profile pic… … and you look terrific! Best of luck in life, man.
Blondes do NOT have all the fun. Or, at least, we do not have all the fun staring at these celebrities who dyed their hair blonde at some point in their lives. Click around and see if you agree that these stars should remain in the dark… forever. 1. Anne Hathaway What was Anne Hathaway thinking? You’ve won an Oscar, woman! Step away from the bleach! 2. Victoria Beckham Victoria Beckham rocked the blonde bob for quite a while, but it sort of reminds us of Kate Gosselin. Her brunette look is WAY better. 3. Zooey Deschanel Not only should Zooey Deschanel forever and always have bangs, she should never, ever go blonde again. This just isn’t right. 4. Emma Stone While it’s true that Emma Stone can basically do no wrong, we much prefer her redheaded look to the platinum one she’s sporting here. 5. Jennifer Love Hewitt WHOA! Jennifer Love Hewitt, just so no to blonde! That brunette look really highlights your best features! 6. Jessica Biel Jessica Biel went blonde in 2008. But then she met and married Justin Timberlake and now she’s a brunette again. There’s only room for one blonde in that marriage. View Slideshow
