As previously reported, tragedy has once again struck Hollywood. Around noon on Friday, authorities, responding to a call from an unknown individual, arrived at the San Fernando Valley home of Mac Miller and found the rapper dead . He was 26 years old. As of this writing, the likely cause of death is a drug overdose. The artist had been well known and respected across the music industry ever since his debut album in 2012… but he was perhaps better known of late for his long-term relationship with Ariana Grande. This romance ended in May , with sources saying that Miller’s substance abuse issues played a significant role in Grande deciding it was time to part ways. Just a week later, Miller was arrested for drunk driving . Shortly afterward, in July, he an interview to Zane Lowe on Beats 1 on Apple Music in which he referred to himself as a “self-destructive depressed drug user.” But he also assured fans at this time that he was doing okay and that he was “happy” for Grande, who he dated for two years. Just over a month later, Miller is dead. “Malcolm McCormick, known and adored by fans as Mac Miller, has tragically passed away at the age of 26,” his family said in a statement provided to multiple outlets. “He was a bright light in this world for his family, friends and fans. Thank you for your prayers. Please respect our privacy. There are no further details as to the cause of his death at this time Elsewhere, Warner Bros. Records added the following: “Mac was a hugely gifted and inspiring artist, with a pioneering spirit and sense of humor that touched everyone he met. “Mac’s death is a devastating loss and cuts short a life and a talent of huge potential, where the possibilities felt limitless.” The Los Angeles Fire Department has confirmed that first responders were dispatched Friday after an 11:42 a.m. call about a medical complaint at a residence in Studio City, California. They did not transport anyone from the scene, making it safe to assume that Miller had passed away before they arrived. “I just wanna go on tour,” Miller Tweeted on Thursday. “The show is going to be special every night. I wish it started tomorrow.” Meanwhile, while music heavyweights mourn Miller’s passing (“Great man. I loved him for real. Im completely broken. God bless him,” Tweeted Chance the Rapper), a handful of terrible trolls out there are blamng Grande for what has transpired. They somehow think the singer is responsible for Miller’s addiction and for driving him to this fatal place due to their split. In the wake of this tragedy and upon seeing what these awful people were writing on her Instagram page, Grande disabled Comments for a period of time. She appears to have now turned them back on. And if she is checking, we sincerely hope she sees that the supporters out there far, far, FAR outweight the misguided haters. “The amount of tweets blaming Ariana Grande for what happened to Mac Miller is disgusting, his addiction and lack of help is what drove this to happen, don’t point the finger and blame,” wrote on fan. And another chimed in as follows: “Just noticed Ariana Grande disabled comments on her Instagram account after a barrage of Mac Miller-related comments. Recognize the true problem here, rather than using someone else as a scapegoat & continuing the cycle. All so sad & nauseating.” Following Mller’s aforementioned crash and DUI arrest, someone on the Internet dared to blame Grande for the rapper’s fate. She wasn’t having it. “I am not a babysitter or a mother and no woman should feel that they need to be,” clapped back the singer, adding: “I have cared for him and tried to support his sobriety & prayed for his balance for years (and always will of course) but shaming / blaming women for a man’s inability to keep his s— together is a very major problem.” That is oh so true. And also so not the point right now. A young man is dead at the age of 26. It’s a tragedy. This is especially the case when you consider what Miller said in a documentary a few years ago: “I’d rather be the corny white rapper than the drugged-out mess who can’t even get out of his house. Overdosing is just not cool. You don’t go down in history because you overdose. You just die.” May he rest in peace. View Slideshow: 33 Musicians Who Died Too Young
On Tuesday, Colton Underwood as confirmed as the next Bachelor . Responses were mixed, but he has to be less controversial than the last dude, right? Speaking of the infamous Arie Luyendyk Jr., his wedding date with his season’s runner-up is looming closer. And he’s giving fans a sneak peek of what wedding guests will soon see for themselves. On Wednesday, Arie Luyendyk Jr. shared a snap his save the date cards with his fans and followers on Instagram. “Sending these out this week!” Arie writes in the captions of his photo. Arie continues, writing: “January can’t come soon enough.” Some might mean that they’re looking forward to winter weather after this hellish summer, but Arie is excited about his wedding date. Take a look: In the process of sharing the card, Arie confirmed the wedding date and location . This wedding will take place on January 12, 2019 in Maui, Hawaii. The precise venue is the historic Haiku Mill, so guests can look forward to lush tropical gardens and the ruins of a 150-year-old sugar cane mill. A wedding in Hawaii for people who don’t live there is very much a destination wedding. Some would say that he and Lauren should have sent out these save the dates at least six months in advance, if not earlier. But we imagine that Lauren is eager to walk down the aisle — out of fear that Arie might once again change his mind. Arie also thanked the online marketplace, Minted, for the save the date design. Arie and Lauren may have fallen in love and even gotten engaged on camera, but they won’t be allowing television cameras at their nuptials. “It’s not your typical beach wedding,” the couple recently told The View . “And it’s a private wedding,” they explained. “So not on TV.” So all of their teasing about having a TV wedding was for nothing. Instead of some big, lucrative TV wedding, they’ll have “just a close group of friends. Probably 100 guests.” “Lauren and I flew to the Maldives at The Bachelor and Becca’s request,” Arie shared last month on Instagram. “It’s a conversation that unfortunately won’t be shown,” he admitted. “But it was really positive for all of us.” Arie admits: “You can imagine this trip could have been very difficult for Lauren but she has supported and stood by me in all of this. …” “I thank and love her everyday because of that,” Arie added. The controversial ex-Bachelor concluded: “We wish Becca all the happiness in the world and can’t wait to see how tonight goes!” While Arie and even Lauren may be supportive of Becca, she was the wronged party, so that’s only fair. A lot of the Bachelor Nation is not yet prepared to forgive Arie for his brutal breakup with Becca. And, quite frankly, a lot of viewers didn’t like him before that, either. Arie’s best bet is probably to wait. Eventually, his brand may recover as his antics become more of a distant memory. Time heals all brands, it seems. On the other hand, if Colton Underwood turns out to be worse as the leading man, it’s very possible that fans will gloss over Arie’s behavior. But it’s difficult to imagine a less popular Bachelor than Arie happening any time soon. View Slideshow: The Bachelor Veterans Blast Arie, ABC for Cruel Finale Break-Up
It’s been almost seven months since David Eason was fired from Teen Mom 2 for hurling bigoted slurs at fans on social media. But Jenelle Evans’ husband has made a point of not backing away from his controversial stances. In fact — because 2018 is nightmarish hellscape in which every idiot with an opinion feels that they need to cram it down your throat on a daily basis until you run screaming for the “block” button — he’s been more outspoken than ever in recent weeks. You see, David is one of those well-heeled straight, Christian white guys who has somehow convinced himself he’s an oppressed minority. In David’s mind, the whole world is out to get him, and the barbarians are forever at his gates, which is why he needs to be armed to the teeth in order to defend himself. And he’s been expressing that view in increasingly offensive fashion lately with the help of the preferred weapon of internet jackasses everywhere — memes. As The Ashley’s Reality Roundup points out , David posted the above meme earlier this week, and predictably, the reaction from fans has been one of mingled confusion and outrage. “Why gun control? Because armed people will NOT willingly load themselves into railroad boxcars,” reads the caption. So … does David really think he’s at risk of being sent off to a concentration camp? Interestingly, that post comes on the heels of another one in which Eason boasts of his pride in being a straight white redneck. “For the people who get offended when you call them what they identify themselves as… I’m also proud to be a white man, a southerner and a redneck! #pride,” Eason captioned the above image. As far as we can tell, David is the kind of guy who will tell you that he and the rest of the MAGA crowd are tired of winning in one breath, and then argue that he needs an AR-15 to protect himself from his many oppressors in the next. He’s that very modern sort of dipsh-t who will complain about identity politics while proudly affixing himself with labels that he thinks will make his opinions matter more. Clearly, political matters are very much at the forefront of David’s mind these days. But since he and his wife have had CPS called to their house 20 times in the past year, maybe he should focus a bit more energy on getting his own house in order.

We now know why Dolores O’Riordan passed away in January. The former Cranberries lead singer was shockingly found dead in London several months ago, leaving this world at the relatively young age of 46. There were various theories as to what transpired at the time, with many outlets claiming O’Riordan’s death was related to her history of substance abuse. One irresponsible tabloid even alleged she had overdosed on sleeping pills . Now, however, per The BBC, coroner Shirley Radcliffe has completed her report and determined that the artist died due to a “tragic accident.” She drowned in her hotel bathtub after drinking a lot of alcohol. According to this doctor and her findings, there were no signs of injury or self-harm found during the post-mortem examination. The BBC goes on to say that authorities discovered a bottle of champagne and five miniature bottles in O’Riordan’s hotel room, in addition to “containers of prescription drugs with a quantity of tablets in each container.” Moreover, toxicology tests revealed that O’Riordan’s blood contained “therapeutic” amounts of medication but 330mg of alcohol per 100mls of blood. This equates to “four times over the 80mg legal limit for driving.” In simpler terms: the singer was very, very drunk. But the official report does not state she intentionally drowned herself. Following the release of these findings, The Cranberries released a statement that reads: Today we continue to struggle to come to terms with what happened. Our heartfelt condolences go out to Dolores’ children and her family and our thoughts are with them today. Dolores will live on eternally in her music. To see how much of a positive impact she had on people’s lives has been a source of great comfort for us. We’d like to say thank you to all of our fans for the outpouring of messages and their continues support during this very difficult time. O’Riordan joined The Cranberries when she was only 18 years old. She quickly became an integral part of the band both for her voice and also her songwriting. The group, whose top hits include “Linger,” “Dreams,” and “Zombie,” sold over 40 million albums worldwide and had multiple Billboard Top 200 hits throughout the 1990s. O’Riordan released her first solo album in 2003. Six years later, the group got back together and released an acoustic album as recently as 2017. O’Riordan’s death came as a stunning tragedy to her friends and fans. The remaining band members have repeatedly paid tribute to O’Riordan on Twitter, saying shortly after she died: We are devastated on the passing of our friend Dolores. She was an extraordinary talent and we feel very privileged to have been part of her life from 1989 when we started the Cranberries. The world has lost a true artist today. Elsewhere, The Cranberries will releasing a new album, which O’Riordan had been working on with them before her death. It will contain previously unreleased material by the band, as well as other bonus material from the era and it will be released in October. O’Riordan leaves behind three kids – Taylor, Mollie and Dakota – as well as her boyfriend, Olé Koretsky. May she rest in peace. View Slideshow: 32 Musicians Who Died Too Young
