    The death of celebrity news on TV

    There is plenty of scandal still around.. but the stalwarts of celeb reporting are slowly vanishing.. The latest is E! NEWS.. the bold exclamation point and the series of gossip stories about the rich and famous.. It is now a bygone era. It will end and air its final broadcast on September 25..

    Seth Abromovich from The HOLLYWOOD REPORTER sarcastic laments the demise of E!..

    Launched in 1991, its innovation was that it took showbiz as seriously as CNN took politics and crime. In doing so, E! News helped popularize the modern fixation on a side of Hollywood once meant for industry eyes only — everything from celebrity bad behavior to box office grosses.

    E! anchor told the REPORTER:

    “There was that time, like 2008 to 2012 — the Lindsay Lohan, Paris Hilton, Britney Spears era, going to Kitson on Robertson,” Kennedy reminisces. “It’s almost like an untouchable time in entertainment news, and I was just lucky to be a part of it.”

    Some of his most memorable stories involved celebrity deaths. “I think we did 48 hours of live coverage for Michael Jackson,” Kennedy recalls of the pop titan’s fatal propofol overdose in 2009, during which he worked for E! News as a correspondent. “I’ll never forget arriving at the scene at UCLA Medical Center after he died. Thousands of people showed up.”

  • Aliens among us in Compton Cali?

    Aliens among us in Compton Cali?

    Media attention has now continued on a short video from Jessica Ortiz’s Ring camera days ago.. The video seems to show a mysterious figure outside her home, Compton California. Local affiliates reported it along with the video, and others have subsequently picked up the story across the nation and world. The internet has had their say as well, pondering if this was an alien or just some trick of the lens..

    “Someone ANYONE please explain to me what my ring just caught. I’m not tripping right?” she captioned the 11-second video.

    According to Ortiz, it all began when she received an alert on her Ring doorbell app on June 5 around 1 a.m. 

    Surveillance video shows the mysterious “creature” walking in Ortiz’s driveway and exiting through a back gate. You can hear Ortiz’s gate close after the figure leaves the property…

    A few of the best comment:

    Well we already got Leprechaun in the hood, might as well give us Aliens in the hood

    Did they seriously ask zak bagans.

    It’s just a person carrying their jacket or hoodie. Take a closer look. 🤦‍♂️

    Must be a really slow day at the news station, some people are so gullible that they’ll believe this BS.



    Slow news day indeed… or aliens among us..

  • 🌋 Klyuchevskoy Volcano… Now It’s Your Turn.

    🌋 Klyuchevskoy Volcano… Now It’s Your Turn.



    After last night’s Earth-shaking 8.8 magnitude quake — a monster that rattled the Ring of Fire and triggered a tsunami across the Pacific — the planet isn’t done yet.

    Now, Klyuchevskoy — the largest active volcano in the Northern Hemisphere — has erupted.

    According to the Russian Academy of Sciences’ United Geophysical Service:

    > “A descent of burning hot lava is observed on the western slope. Powerful glow above the volcano. Explosions.”



    The Earth isn’t just restless.
    It’s moving.

    🌀 Strange Moment on TikTok ..
    I was scrolling endlessly — like we all do — and thinking, “Isn’t it weird that I rarely get horror content on my feed? I run a horror site, after all.”

    Literally the exact second I thought that, this video popped up. Not a horror topic, but the word “horror” is right there on the screen. It was the exact moment..

    Coincidence? Probably.
    Creepy? Definitely.
    Is the algorithm reading my thoughts… or something else?

    Because here’s the thing: maybe TikTok’s algorithm isn’t just reflecting our thoughts — maybe it’s shaping them. Maybe it’s not listening, but leading. These systems might not just detect what we’re thinking… they might predict when we’ll think it. They could even time our feeds to deliver content at the exact moment our minds are primed to receive it. Whether that’s advanced psychology or digital sorcery, I’ll let you decide.

  • Massacre in Midtown; New York rattled by mass shooting

    Massacre in Midtown; New York rattled by mass shooting

    This is still a developing story…

    A tragic scene unfolded Monday in midtown Manhattan, where a shooting at an office building left at least five people dead — among them, an off-duty NYPD officer, according to sources who spoke with the Associated Press and other news organizations. 

    The suspect has been identified as Shane Tamura of Nevada. Authorities say he died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound.

    News outlets tonight are digging too deep into Tamura’s background.. early reports suggest he may have once aspired to play in the NFL and didn’t make it. Could that have been a breaking point?

    To those who lost their lives today: may you rest in peace. What an awful, senseless story.

    🚨 First look alert: Warner Bros. just dropped over a minute of footage from Weapons — and it’s already making major waves. Early reviews have the film sitting at a perfect 100% on Rotten Tomatoes, with critics calling it one of the best horror releases of the year. Now, these are early reviews, of course, as more reviews come out. That number may change a bit. But so far, the reviews are really good.

    The clip? Intense. Gripping.

    For a little personal touch — I showed it to my 14-year-old son, who’s usually indifferent to horror. He sat frozen, eyes locked on the screen. When it ended, he turned to me… and flipped out.

    “Why would you show me that?! I’m 100% having nightmares tonight,” he said, storming off like I’d summoned the Boogeyman into our living room.

    So yeah, Weapons might just be that kind of horror movie. You’ve been warned.

  • Lydia Hannibal White-Spunner dead

    Lydia Hannibal White-Spunner dead



    The Bloomsburg, Pennsylvania Theater Ensemble has shared a heartfelt message on their Facebook page, mourning the loss of Lydia Hannibal White-Spunner, a beloved performer and creative force.

    Born on November 20, 1954, in New Haven, Connecticut, Lydia’s career spanned stage and screen. She was known for her roles in Ted (2012), the cult classic Attack of the Killer Tomatoes! (1978), and the acclaimed TV series Picket Fences (1992).

    Beyond her acting talent, Lydia’s contributions to the arts community—and to those who knew her personally—were deeply cherished. She had been married to Jonathan White-Spunner since 1991 and was a proud mother of two. She was previously married to actor Isiah Whitlock Jr.

    Her legacy lives on through the performances she brought to life and the countless lives she touched on and off the stage.


    The Bloomsburg Theatre Ensemble is deeply saddened by the loss of Lydia Hannibal White-Spunner, beloved wife of our Managing Director, Jon White-Spunner.

    Lydia was a kind, thoughtful, and gracious presence in our community. Her quiet strength and unwavering support have touched many over the years, and her warmth and generosity will be long remembered by those who had the honor of knowing her.

    We extend our heartfelt condolences to Jon, their daughters Hannah and Oonagh, and all who are feeling the weight of this loss. Lydia’s spirit will remain a part of the Ensemble through the lives and work of those she supported and inspired.
