In Memoriam: Fallen Stars of 2023
The modeling world has lost a star.
Maleesa Mooney, who also worked as a real estate agent, was found dead in her downtown Los Angeles apartment on Sept. 12, according to NBC News, citing police. She was 31.
No cause of death has been shared. However, her death is being investigated as a homicide, Los Angeles Police Department spokesperson Tony Im told NBC News.
Officers found Mooney's body around 4 p.m. when responding to a welfare check call. Bailey Babb, her cousin, told local outlet KTLA that family members reported concern when Mooney suddenly dropped all communication.
"When a week went by, we just knew something was off," Babb recalled. "Her mes…
Brad Pitt Calls Angelina Jolie "Vindictive" for Selling Winery Stake
Angelina Jolie and her older brother James Haven's bond is eternal.
The Oscar winner's only sibling made rare comments about his relationship with his sister and her kids—Maddox, 22, Pax, 20, Zahara, 18, Shiloh, 17, and twins Knox and Vivienne, 15—while reflecting on how Angelina has been doing in the years since breakup up with Brad Pitt.
In fact, when 90who10 podcast co-host Jessica Entner referred to Haven as a "protective brother" on the Dec. 31 episode, the 52-year-old made it c…
True Crime We Binged in 2022
New details have emerged in the case of Charlotte Sena.
Hours after authorities confirmed the 9-year-old girl—who went missing from New York's Moreau Lake State Park on Sept. 30—had been found safe, New York State Police announced the name of the suspect they have in custody.

Alex Murdaugh & More: 2023's JAW-DROPPING True Crime Docs
To look at Scott Peterson before Christmas Eve in 2002 was to see a young, handsome family man, a 30-year-old fertilizer salesman living in Modesto, Calif., who was about to become a first-time dad.
To look at him at almost any time since has been to see something quite different.
Scott, now 51, was resentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole on Dec. 8, 2021, for the murders of his wife Laci Peterson and their unborn son, the culmination of a 15-year effort to get him off of death row.
He lost his bid for a new trial, however, a judge ruling Dec. 20, 2022—almost 20 years to the day after Laci disappeared—that though a juror had p…

Riley Strain's loved ones are saying goodbye.
A week after the University of Missouri student's body was found in the Cumberland River in Nashville, TN., his family held his funeral service March 29 in Springfield, Mo.

Lindsay Lohan Reveals the Real Reason She Left Hollywood
Lindsay Lohan is giving fans more than just a clue about why she stepped back from the spotlight.
More than a decade after the Mean Girls star quite literally left Hollywood, moving first to London before settling in Dubai, she shared insight into life in the public eye and why her departure was a much needed change.
"I feel like some of [my work] got overshadowed by paparazzi and all that kind of stuff when I was younger, and that's kind of annoying," Lindsay told Bustle in an interview published March 14. "I wish that part didn't happen."
The Freaky Friday star continued, "I feel like that kind of took on a life of its own.…
Thirty-four years ago, Disney released what would go on to become an American classic: the animated Little Mermaid, its titular role voiced by Jodi Benson. On Friday, the half live action, half CGI Little Mermaid remake (now starring Halle Bailey) opened in theaters—though critics seem to think that it hasn’t been properly updated for the new century, or changed enough to warrant a reboot.
Most of the plot remains the same: a curious, adventurous mermaid princess wants nothing more than to become human and explore the world above. But some mostly minor tweaks do remain: the villain becomes an octopus rather than a squid, a new royal character enters the picture, and a few new musical numbers crop up. Read on for 10 tweaks to the watery tale.
Warning: This post contains spoilers for episode 7 of The Last of Us and for the video game
Something The Last of Us—both the HBO show and the video game on which it is based—does well is humanize its characters, adding emotional depth in a world where they face punishing circumstances. We are offered backstories about the protagonist Joel, including that he lost his daughter early in the Cordyceps outbreak, to help us better understand his motivations. Now, viewers finally get to know more about Ellie and how she found out that she was immune to bites from the infected. Those who have played the video game will remember that a pivotal piece of downloadable content (DLC) called “Left Behi…
Like a ringmaster letting a lion out of its cage to terrify and thrill the kids at the circus, Steve Allen unleashed the 21-year-old Jerry Lee Lewis to a prime-time TV audience on his July 28, 1957, Sunday variety show. As Lewis ripped into his debut hit “Whole Lotta Shakin’ Goin’ On,” the same startled excitement seized the folks at home as when Elvis Presley made his national TV debut on the Tommy and Jimmy Dorsey Stage Show 18 months earlier. The moment was that epochal.
Lewis, who died Friday at age 87, had a far briefer purchase on stardom than Elvis—not least because the rockabilly icon made as much trouble as he did music. The Killer, as he was known, was a charter member of the Rock ‘n’ Roll Hall of Fame known for two song…
