Beth Chapman has, once again, been hospitalized for issues related to her cancer. And unfortunately, things aren’t looking so great at this exact moment. Beth, wife of Duane “Dog the Bounty Hunter” Chapman, was first diagnosed with throat cancer in September of 2017. Doctors classified the cancer as stage two, but just a couple of months after the initial diagnosis, the couple made the statement that the cancer had been completely removed. But, as we all know, cancer is the absolute worst, and last year, it came back. Things seemed to be more serious this time around — in November, she underwent emergency surgery to take care of a blockage in her throat that was obstructing her airway. Duane said at the time that she was “not doing good,” and that doctors feared the cancer had spread from her throat. They later confirmed that the fears were correct, and that the cancer had spread to her lungs. She pulled through that surgery, but she was hospitalized again in April after she experienced some difficulty breathing. Throughout everything, she’s been extremely active on social media , and she’s honestly been an inspiration. She’s been so strong, and she’s shown so much love to Duane, who she says has been there with her every step of the way And although her prognosis isn’t good, she’s chosen to spend whatever time she may have left with her family instead of in hospitals or in hospice. She’s even been working on Dog’s Most Wanted , a new show that touches a bit on Beth’s battle while still, of course, focusing on Dog’s work as a bounty hunter. Sadly though, her work came to a halt yesterday when she was admitted to the ICU at a hospital in Honolulu. At this point, we don’t know too many details about what exactly brought her to the hospital, but her family gave a brief statement to local news site Hawaii News Now. In the statement, they revealed that Beth had been placed in a medically-induced coma, and that they “humbly ask everyone to please pray for Beth.” Additionally, they offered their “sincere thanks to everyone for their prayers throughout Beth’s battle with cancer.” Last night, Duane shared a similar message on Twitter, writing to his followers “Please say your prayers for Beth right now thank you love you.” View Slideshow: Celebrities Who Beat Cancer When People reached out to their rep for an additional statement, they were told simply that “It’s quite serious.” Here’s hoping that Beth manages to pull through this, and that Duane and the rest of their family are getting plenty of support during this difficult time.
French electronic music producer Philippe “Zdar” Cerboneschi died Wednesday in a freak accident . Philippe, an influential artist famed for being a part of the electric duo Cassius, accidentally fell through a window of a high building in Paris. According to a report in the New York Times , the death of the 52-year-old was confirmed by Zdar’s booking agent in an email to the outlet. “He accidentally fell through the window of a top floor of a Parisian building,” wrote the agent. The BBC further reports that the French police are investigating the cast as a routine accident. Philippe teamed up with his Cassius partner Hubert “Boom Bass” Blanc-Francard in 1988. A year later, the two released their debut album “1999” which went on to become a defining work of the electronic music genre known as “French Touch.” According to People , he worked with Phoenix on the French indie band’s album “Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix”, which won a Grammy for best alternative music album. Zdar’s beloved studio, Motorbass, was even used as a recording site for musicians like Kanye West and Pharrell Williams. This tragic news comes right before Cassius’ next album “Dreems” was set to release this Friday — he was scheduled to perform at NYC’s Summer Stage festival series in Central Park on Sunday. Members of the music community who had worked with the late producer, or had been inspired by his work, are taking to social media to pay their tributes to the producer’s life. Calvin Harris tweeted a YouTube link to the extended version of “1999” along with a personal heartfelt message. “Awful news about Phillipe Zdar, what an unbelievably lovely man with an incredible legacy,” he wrote. “I was mesmerized by this record at 15 years old.” Fellow French producer David Guetta shared a photo of Zdar, captioning the post: “Sad awakening here. I just heard Philippe Zdar from @CASSIUSOFFICIAL passed away.” “I can’t stop remembering amazing parties we had all together,” he said. “All my loving to your family, BoobBass and Pedro. RIP dg.” Phoenix also chimed in on Instagram with heavy hearts. “Rest in Peace Zdar,” wrote the band. “I still remember watching the Wolfgang Diaries on YouTube.” “Still one of the best albums ever made,” said Phoenix, including a heart emoji. Producer Mark Ronson was “so f–king sad to learn about Philippe Zdar last night.” He tweeted that Zdar was a “true legend whose influence hangs over not just dance but indie, but hip hop, all of it.” “My condolences to his family and friends,” he wrote. Zdar leaves behind his wife Dyane Cerboneschi and three children. Our thoughts go out to his loved ones. View Slideshow: Celebrities Who Died in 2019: In Memoriam
As previously reported, Bernie McGee died on Saturday at the age of 41. The Seeking Sister Wife star suffered a heart attack while out for a bike ride, called his wife, Paige, in distress — and lost his life before paramedics could arrive and save him. McGee was the head of one of the polygamous households on this TLC series, which was a sort of Sister Wives spinoff that sought to capitalize on the popularity of one of that network’s longest-running programs. His death, as described above, was natural. No actual foul play is suspected. And yet… Paige took to social media shortly after confirming the tragic news and hurled enormous shade at her own brother. Not merely shade , we should note: She flat-out accused her sibling of killing her husband. Back in March, you see, Patrick Marble accused both Paige and Bernie of harassing and/or stalking him. The couple was actually arrested as a result of this allegation. According to Patrick at the time, Bernie and Page flooded his home with calls and would not stop trying to contact him at work, either. He also claimed his girlfriend was targeted by his sister and brother-in-law. With their court date fast approaching, Paige now says such legal issues had an awful effect on Bernie, Tweeting that “the stress of going to court this coming Wednesday with fear of 1 year in jail wore on [him].” From there, Paige got very personal and very accusatory. She laid into her brother and did not mince a single word in saying Patrick is to blame for what happened to Bernie. “Patrick Marble does not know a damn thing about my husband or him passing. All he knows is what he is reading on FB. I have not spoken to him for any reason and he damn well better not come to my house!” Paige wrote this week online. She continued: “Patrick and my mother having us arrested for not doing a damn thing wrong did this! “We were financially put out for having to hire lawyers, investigators and missing work for this bullsh-t.” Paige (whose mug shot from her arrest this spring is posted below) also alleged that Patrick harassed and bullied her and Bernie. “[He] has admitted numerous times he would not stop until we were fired from the show,” she wrote. “Well, that never happened so he continued his bullying and harassment. Bernie has been under so much stress and the stress of going to court this coming Wednesday with fear of 1 year in jail wore on Bernie. “Bernie was so upset the day we were arrested because our sons had to watch us being taken away. Every night since then, Bernie has said over and over, the look on Johnny’s face. He just couldn’t get over that.” Paige and Bernie made their debut on Seeking Sister Wife on Season 2. Following Bernie’s death, Patrick told TMZ that he plans to drop the stalking charges and that he spoke to his sister recently to attempt to hash things out. But it appears as if she wasn’t interested in any sort of peace accord. “Patrick Marble… YOU KILLED MY HUSBAND AND I HOPE YOU BURN IN HELL… And you better stay the HELL away from me and my family,” Paige concluded. Yikes, huh? May Bernie McGee rest in peace. View Slideshow: Celebrities Who Died in 2019: In Memoriam

From “Sis” to someone being your “play cousin” or “Auntie.” Using one of these terms and adopting someone as a surrogate family member, is the ultimate sign of admiration.

Critically acclaimed writer and director, Ava DeVernay , 46, says the term “Auntie” makes her feel aged and uncomfortable. She even took to Twitter to say she prefers the terms Sis, Queen, and family.

If you only know one thing about Jana Duggar, it’s probably that she’s unmarried. That wouldn’t be a big deal for most 29-year-olds, but the fact that Jana is still single just a few months shy of 30 is highly unusual for a woman in her community. Duggar women are taught from a young age that procreation is one of their two main reasons for being. (The other being religious devotion, of course.) Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar are devotees of the Quiverfull movement and its disgraced founder, Bill Gothard . Gothard teaches that it’s the job of every Christian to produce as many offspring as possible with the goal of eventually overwhelming the rest of the population and creating a Christian planet. As a result, within the Duggars’ community, there’s a tendency to look at a woman who’s “squandered” so many child-bearing years with curiosity … or even contempt. Even Jim Bob has stated that he can’t understand why Jana hasn’t found the right guy . We’re sure he meant to be sympathetic, but knowing that you’re a source of constant befuddlement to your own family has got to be a pretty lonely feeling. Anyway, in spite of the subtle shade and the fact that she’s basically treated like a household slave , Jana still thinks her dad is the best thing since floor-length denim skirts, and she reminded the world of her love for Jim Bob in a recent Instagram post. “Happy Father’s Day to the most wonderful Dad in the whole WORLD!” began Jana’s lengthy caption for the photo above: “My Dad is the one who has taught me so many skills—from tiling floors, basic plumbing & electrical, painting, and car maintenance, to how to get the best deals. He taught me how to drive, helped me buy my first car, and has let me try my hand at design on his different real estate projects… even if it means spending a little more time and money to correct something I’ve messed up on (sometimes we learn by trial and error). “Dad has taught me so much as we work on different projects! Whether it’s designing a home or business space, picking out paint colors, flooring, windows or doors, he’s the mastermind, and I love learning from him and doing projects together with him!!” If you thought Jana was done, you’ve got another thing coming: “Dad is a giver. Always giving of his own goods and supplies without expecting anything in return,” Jana continued. “He’s the first one to start a party no matter the occasion.” (Editor’s note: We never really pictured Jim Bob as a party guy, but hey — life is full of surprises!) “He’s the one that pushes us out of our ‘comfort zone’ (for which I am grateful…. at times.) We all need one of those people in our lives!” Jana continued. “He is quick to ask for forgiveness. He is a humble man. A man of patience, kindness, compassion, determination, strong. He is the one that leads our family and points us to Christ no matter the circumstance. “He’s my Daddy and I’m his little girl. Couldn’t have prayed for a better Dad and can only hope to find a man like him to marry someday!!” “Daddy—Happy Father’s Day from your little girl! I love you so much!” she concluded. All of it is very nice, and we applaud Jana for laying her feeling out there so candidly in this age of irony. But everything the Duggars do gets scrutinized and dissected within an inch of its life, so even though Jana couldn’t have made herself any more clear, dozens of followers still zeroed in on the one line about possibly getting married someday. “I am in tears,” wrote one such fan. “What wonderful things to say in honor of your dad. I have no doubt God will bless you with a Godly man like your dad. Just thank God for that future husband of yours.” We suppose Jana sort of invited the speculation by alluding to the fact that she’s still single. Still, the obsession with this twentysomething’s marital status will never not be weird to us. Here’s hoping she’s not as hung up on when and if she’ll get married as her followers seem to be. Come to think of it, it doesn’t seem possible that she could be. View Slideshow: Jana Duggar FINALLY Addresses Lesbian Affair, Courtship Rumors!
Taylor Swift has released the first video off her upcoming new album . It features an endless array of celebrities, along with a progressive and important political message… … but most folks are really just focused on the following screen capture from this footage. Yup. That’s a photo of Swift and Katy Perry dressed up as an order of french fries and a hamburger, respectively. The unexpected cameo by Perry in Swift’s music video for “You Need to Calm Down” comes days after Perry shared a photo online of a plate of cookies , which served as a symbol of peace between the long-time rivals. It’s been widely presumed these two had beef because Swift believed many years ago that Katy stole some backup dancers from her tour . Neither of these superstars ever confirmed this strong rumor, but Taylor wrote the single “Bad Blood” about Perry and Perry talked very openly over the years about how Swift tried to destroy her . But those days are apparently in the past. What has sent them to that place? It would appear to be a common cause. Both artists have been vocal supporters of the LGBTQ community and they share the screen in the video below, which debuted on Monday during Good Morning America and also during Pride Month. The video and the song represent Swift’s strongest political statement to date, and it seems as if she and Perry have ended their feud in order to get on the same page with it. “Let’s show our pride by demanding that, on a national level, our laws truly treat all our citizens equally,” reads an on-screen message at end of the video. “Please sign my petition for Senate support of the Equality Act on Change.org.” Taylor Swift – “You Need to Calm Down” The Equality Act, if passed, would amend the Civil Rights Act to prohibit discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation and gender identity. Swift, who stunned attendees last Friday with a surprise performance at New York’s gay landmark Stonewall Inn, has released a vibrantly-colored video here. It features appearance by: Ellen Degeneres, Ryan Reynolds, Dexter Mayfield, Laverne Cox, Karamu Brown, Rupaul, Antoni Porowski, Jonathan Van Ness, Jesse Tyler Ferguson, Justin Mikita, Bobby Berk, Tan France, Billy Porter, Adam Lambert, Todrick Hall, Hayley Kiyoko, Chester Lockhart and Adam Rippon. Along with several others. The track’s lyrics also make Swift’s intentions very clear. To wit: “Why are you mad when you could be GLAAD?” she asks, echoing the last phrase for good measure. “Sunshine on the street at the parade/But you would rather be in the dark ages/Makin’ that sign must’ve taken all night.” Swift has become more vocal about her politics over the past year or so, likely as a response to Donald Trump’s election. For the first time in her career, she endorsed not one but two political candidates, Tennessee Democrats Phil Bredesen and Jim Cooper, while they were running for the US Senate and House of Representatives in 2018. We can’t help but wonder if she’ll make her voice heard in the next Presidential election as well. Of course, now that her feud with Perry is over, only one question remains: When can we expect her and Kim Kardashians to dress up like a couple of milkshakes and embrace on camera? Never? Never, ever, ever, ever ? Oh, okay then.

Even if doctors diagnose us with a deadly disease or give us an estimated time limit to live, we never actually know when that moment will happen. For celebrities, whose private lives are already exposed for the world to judge, death garners massive amounts of media attention; especially when the death is very suspicious. Famous death’s like the late, great Tupac Shakur have yet to be solved over 25 years later. Whether the deaths are ruled ‘foul play’ or ‘accidental overdose,’ there’s always two sides to every eerie story. Check out our list of the 11 most mysterious celebrity deaths.

Cassie has a new message for Diddy: Forget talking to my hand, dude! Go ahead and talk to my stomach! Or, to be more specific and to the point, talk to the tiny human growing in my stomach… because she isn’t yours and that’s awesome! Indeed, the singer/model has announced that she’s expecting her first child, just eight months after splitting from her long-time, very famous boyfriend. “Can’t wait to meet our baby girl,” the 32-year-old captioned a series of pictures on Instagram last night, all of which depicted her and Alex Fine in the car together. Added Cassie in this post: “Love You Always & Forever.” Cassie has an established career of her own, but she’s largely known for having dated Diddy off and on for about a decade. Their relationship didn’t end very well last fall, but Cassie has clearly moved on and excited about becoming a parent. And the same can be said for Fine, who shared a message titled “Letter to my Daughter” shortly after Cassie broke the couple’s gigantic news. “I will be the first man in your life and will show you the greatest love and affection now and forever,” Fine said to open this lengthy and emotional post. He included with it the following sweet photograph of himself and Cassie: Continued Fine, who works as a bull rider and personal trailer on Instagram: I never thought my heart could grow bigger after meeting your mother… then I found out we were having you and I instantly felt a love that is so indescribable. I promise to be at every dance recital, concert, sporting event, school plays whatever you decide to do I will be there and support you. I am your number one fan. I promise to be a man that you and your mother look up to and love. I will always listen and put the both of you first. I will show you a healthy relationship and how you deserve to be treated. I promise to never approve of any boy you like because they will never be good enough for my baby girl. Sorry. I can’t promise that I won’t embarrass you because I will give you so many kisses at every school drop off. I will be the Dad that never forces my opinions on you. I will love whatever you do in life as long as you’re happy. I promise that I will be kind, sweet, and you will always be daddy’s little girl. I promise to love you every single second unconditionally until my last breath. You’re perfect to me and always will be. Cassie and Fine went public with their relationship in December. They actually met because Diddy hired the latter to help train the former. Sources have said he was pissed when Cassie and Fine started dating. But others are pretty are psyched for them right now. “Congratulations Cass!” Khloé Kardashian commented on the reveal. “You’re going to be the best mommy!” Naomi Campbell added her support as well for the “Me & U” artist, writing: “YES! PROUD OF YOU SIS.” We wish Cassie a very happy and healthy pregnant.
