Dustin Diamond, best known for playing Screech on NBC’s beloved 1980s and ’90s teen sitcom Saved By the Bell, has died, outlets are reporting. The 44-year-old actor was diagnosed with carcinoma, a type of cancer, three weeks ago and entered the hospital, Variety reports. “In that time, it managed to spread rapidly throughout his system; the only mercy it exhibited was its sharp and swift execution,” Diamond’s representatives said in a statement. “Dustin did not suffer. He did not have to lie submerged in pain. For that, we are grateful.” Photo by Noel Vasquez/Getty Images In January, his rep told NBC News that Diamond had begun chemotherapy for stage 4 lung cancer. Diamond’s showbiz break came in 1989, when Saved By the Bell premiered and qui...

On Tuesday night (January 5), a TMZ report emerged that hip-hop icon Dr. Dre had suffered a brain aneurysm on Monday and remained in intensive care at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles. Shortly after, the storied MC, producer, and mogul — born Andre Young — took to Instagram to give a positive update on his condition. “Thanks to my family, friends and fans for their interest and well wishes,” Dre, 55, wrote. “I’m doing great and getting excellent care from my medical team. I will be out of the hospital and back home soon. Shout out to all the great medical professionals at Cedars. One Love!!” Local L.A. television station KABC reports, however, that his home in Brentwood has been the site of an attempted burglary while Dre remains in the hospital. Rep...

It’s not 2016 anymore, but Emma Stone must still be in la la land — because she’s pregnant! A source confirmed to People this week that the 32-year-old Oscar winner is expecting her first child with her husband, Dave McCary. The pair married last year after beginning dating in 2017, and late last month, photos obtained by the Daily Mail showed off Stone’s baby bump as she walked around Los Angeles. Kevork Djansezian/Getty Images Stone reportedly first met McCary, a segment director for Saturday Night Live and the director of the film Brigsby Bear, when she hosted the sketch show in 2017. They’ve kept their relationship largely private, though they’ve been seen together in public occasionally, including at a Los Angeles Clippers game in 2019 and at various awar...

Was a new rom-com legend born this week? Perhaps, because Emma Roberts has given birth to a baby boy. The American Horror Story and Holidate star reportedly welcomed her son with her partner, the actor Garrett Hedlund, on Sunday (December 27). The couple has yet to officially confirm the news, but according to TMZ, they have named the baby Rhodes. Roberts first announced her pregnancy on Instagram in August after rumors began circulating earlier in the summer. At the time, she shared a series of photos showcasing her baby bump and her boyfriend, Hedlund, with whom she was first linked in March 2019. “Me … and my two favorite guys,” she captioned the post with two blue heart emojis. In an October interview with MTV News, Roberts got candi...

In the three months since Chadwick Boseman died after a silent years-long battle with cancer, tributes have rolled in from all over the world to celebrate and honor his work both onscreen and off. They tend to highlight the actor’s brilliant cinematic achievements portraying kings, history-makers, and soldiers — in a word, heroes. But Boseman’s life behind the scenes found him inhabiting the role of an everyday hero as well, visiting children with cancer and returning the Wakanda salute to fans in public. Both of these aspects are what his Marvel Cinematic Universe co-stars Don Cheadle and Robert Downey, Jr., spoke to when they presented Boseman with the posthumous Hero for the Ages honor at the MTV Movie & TV Awards: Greatest of All Time special on Sunday night (Decem...

A Los Angeles court denied Britney Spears‘s bid to remove her father, Jamie Spears, from the conservatorship of her estate on Tuesday (November 10), outlets are reporting. Through his conservatorship, Jamie has controlled Spears’s assets, business affairs, and estate since 2008, though he stepped down in 2019 due to health concerns. The latest ruling is largely seen as a blow to Britney’s career, a view her lawyer made explicit. “My client has informed me that she is afraid of her father,” Britney’s attorney, Samuel D. Ingham III, reportedly told the court, per Variety. “She will not perform again if her father is in charge of her career.” BBC News reports that Britney’s lawyer mentioned how she has no “viable working relationship...

LDR spent Election Night at Denny’s, enjoying a nice, socially distanced spread in a tent, tracking live updates via smartphone. Oh, and she slipped in some pertinent information for fans, namely that her forthcoming “folky” album, Chemtrails Over the Country Club, is delayed due to vinyl processing backups. But in the meantime, Lana’s got you covered. “In the meantime, I’m gonna give you a digital record of American standards and classics for Christmas,” she said, holding a Denny’s coffee mug, “because I can’t get the record plants to open ’til March 5.” (She also clapped back at a fan who claimed she voted for Trump with a simple message: “Go. Fuxk. Yourself.“) You Deserve to Make Money Even When you are ...

Cardi B has always been outspoken, especially when it comes to politics. Last year, the 26-year-old Bronx rapper met with Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders at a Detroit, Michigan, nail salon to discuss police brutality, student debt, and the economy. And after former Vice President Joe Biden cinched the Democratic nomination, she caught up with the presidential hopeful over Zoom in August for Elle, talking COVID-19 and beyond. It’s understandable why: As a mom to two-year-old Kulture, many of the issues at stake in this election may affect her and her community directly. That’s why, in the days leading up to Election Day, as well as on the day itself, Cardi B continued to use her massive platform, with a whopping 77.6 million followers on Instagram alone, to ke...

During her September appearance in an episode of Vogue‘s 73 Questions video series, Lizzo explained that she felt her stylistic choices have often been politicized. “Being a big, Black woman, wearing what I wore on stage was instantly political and it made a statement,” the 32-year-old singer told the magazine at the time. Though she admitted it was “annoying at first,” the singer has since embraced the statement-making power of fashion, increasingly so in the weeks ahead of the presidential election. For Halloween, she dressed up as the fly that broke the internet when it landed on incumbent Vice President Mike Pence’s head during a debate with California Senator Kamala Harris, donning goggles and sheer wings. Earlier ...

As one of most-followed people on Instagram, Selena Gomez understands the value of her platform. Case in point: Today (November 3) is Election Day, and Gomez spend a portion of the day encouraging her followers to vote, getting her message out in a series of Instagram Stories. Of course, the fact that it is indeed Election Day means that it’s too late for mail-in ballots, so Gomez turned her focus on getting the word about in-person voting. “I know that many of you have voted, and I’m so proud and I’m so happy that you did, but there is plenty of other people who haven’t, and I think they don’t plan to,” she said. “Please don’t use mail-in ballots. Please vote in person at this point, if you can, especially in my hometown in Texas, and ...
