RIP

Knuckleballer Tim Wakefield, a 2x World Series champion, has died at the age of 57 ... just days after former teammate Curt Schilling revealed the longtime starting pitcher was battling brain cancer.

The Boston Red Sox, Wakefield's team for all but two of his 19 MLB seasons (he spent his early days with the Pirates), announced the devastating news on social media.

"Our hearts are broken with the loss of Tim Wakefield," the BoSox wrote on X.

"Wake embodied true goodness; a devoted husband, father, and teammate, beloved broadcaster, and the ultimate community leader. He gave so much to the game and all of Red Sox Nation."

"Our deepest love and thoughts are with Stacy, Trevor, Brianna, and the Wakefield family."

On the mound, Wakefield could be nearly unhittable … thanks to his knuckleball. TW won 200 games and retired with a 4.41 ERA. Tim struck out over 2,100 batters and earned a trip to the All-Star Game in 2009.

He won two World Series in 2004 and 2007.

Wakefield retired in 2011 ... and was later inducted into the Red Sox Hall of Fame.

Of course, it wasn't publicly known that the former All-Star was sick until Schilling, on his podcast last week, revealed Tim was battling cancer and fighting for his life, seemingly against the Wakefield family's wishes.

Curt even acknowledged "I don't even know if he wants it shared," but explained he was Christian and remarked ... "I've seen prayer work and so I'm going to talk about it."

Schilling categorized the illness as "a very serious, very aggressive form of brain cancer."

Many were outraged by Schilling's actions ... Jason Varitek's wife, Catherine, blasted the World Series MVP-winning pitcher. The Red Sox also condemned Curt, saying, "Health is a deeply personal matter they intended to keep private as they navigate treatment and work to tackle this disease."

The MLB team added that the Wakefields were asking for "privacy at this time."

Sadly, just three days later, the legendary knuckleballer and father of two, passed away.

Many from the baseball community have begun reacting to the terrible news, with Tim's former teammate, Kevin Youkilis, summing Wakefield up perfectly.

"He was a great teammate and just a great friend."

Sarah Burton se está alejando de Alexander McQueen (AMQ) a lo grande, porque su última colección para la famosa casa de moda, y su pasarela, fueron de esas para no olvidar.

La directora creativa de AMQ, que hace mucho tiempo sucedió al propio McQueen tras su muerte en 2010, sacó a relucir su estilo único para la línea primavera/ verano 2024 este sábado en la Semana de la Moda de París, que será su última como cabeza de la marca.

Sus modelos ciertamente no decepcionaron, al vestir sus atuendos con elegancia y gracia mientras caminaban arriba y abajo de la pasarela, luciendo con orgullo los diseños del canto del cisne de Sarah Burton.

Un rostro familiar también estaba en el grupo, Naomi Campbell, quien ha trabajado mucho con McQueen a lo largo de los años. La modelo hizo su famoso pavoneo en un vestido hecho por Burton e incluso parece haber derramado una lágrima al cierre del show, lo que demuestra que este es realmente el fin de una era.

Burton anunció su salida de Alexander McQueen a principios de este mes. Aunque la empresa con sede en Kering no dio ninguna razón oficial ni tampoco ha nombrado a un sucesor.

En ese entonces, Sarah se limitó a decir: "Estoy muy orgullosa de todo lo que he hecho y de mi increíble equipo en Alexander McQueen. Estoy ansiosa por lo que viene, mi próximo capítulo y siempre llevaré conmigo este tiempo tan preciado". Aún no se sabe a dónde irá después.

Como hemos dicho, la salida de Burton pone fin a una carrera pionera llena de puntos culminantes, uno de los cuales incluyó el diseño del magnífico vestido de novia de Kate Middleton en 2011, algo que todo el mundo pudo presenciar durante su matrimonio con el príncipe William.

Ha ganado un montón de premios y sus sensibilidades en la moda han sido elogiadas por un largo tiempo.

Se puede decir lo respetada que es por sus contemporáneos, porque la propia editora en jefe de Vogue, Anna Wintour, también estuvo presente el sábado para despedir a Sarah con un gran abrazo.

Sarah Burton is walking away from Alexander McQueen with a bang -- because her final collection for the famous fashion house was one for the ages ... and a catwalk to remember.

The longtime AMQ Creative Director -- who succeeded McQueen himself following his death in 2010, serving as a trailblazer -- trotted out her unique style for the Spring/Summer 2024 line Saturday during Paris Fashion Week ... which will be her last as head of the brand.

Her models certainly didn't disappoint ... carrying themselves with elegance and grace as they walked up and down the runway, proudly rocking SB's swan song designs.

A familiar face was also in the mix ... Naomi Campbell -- who's worked with McQueen a lot over the years -- did her famous strut in a Burton-made gown ... and she even appears to have shed a tear to close out the show, just proving this is truly the end of an era.

Burton announced her departure from Alexander McQueen earlier this month -- although no official reason was given by parent company Kering ... and no successor has been named.

At the time, SB simply said ... "“I am so proud of everything I’ve done and of my incredible team at Alexander McQueen. I am looking forward to the future and my next chapter and will always carry this treasured time with me." No word on where she's going next.

Like we said ... Burton's exit caps off a trailblazing career full of highlights -- one of which included Sarah designing Kate Middleton's gorgeous wedding dress in 2011 ... something the entire world got to witness during her marriage to Prince William.

She's won a ton of awards, and her fashion sensibilities have been lauded for a long time.

You can tell just how respected she is by her contemporaries ... because Vogue's very own EIC Anna Wintour was also on hand Saturday to send Sarah off right -- giving her a big hug.

Jada Pinkett Smith es una de las muchas personas que se alegra de tener a alguien rindiendo cuentas por el asesinato de Tupac Shakur, y así se lo ha hecho saber a sus millones de seguidores.

La actriz utilizó su Instagram el viernes por la noche para subir una reacción corta, pero concisa de las noticias sobre Pac, a saber, el hecho de que Duane 'Keefe D' Davis fue detenido y acusado de asesinato en relación con el caso que sigue abierto en Las Vegas y que se había ido enfriando con los años.

Jada escribe: "Ahora espero que podamos obtener algunas respuestas y tener algún cierre. Que en paz descanses, Pac".

Como hemos dicho, es un mensaje bastante simple de su parte, pero muy significativo, teniendo en cuenta lo mucho que Tupac significaba para Jada y cuán seguido se refiere a él, incluso hasta el día de hoy.

Muchos están familiarizados con la historia de Jada con Pac. Ambos eran muy amigos en los años 80 y 90, época en la que crecieron juntos y se enredaron en la edad adulta.

Jada ha insistido durante mucho tiempo que nunca fue una relación romántica, pero algunos especulan que podría no ser así. De nuevo, ella ha hablado largo y tendido sobre él y recordado su relación públicamente, a tal punto que algunos han levantado una ceja, especialmente después de la bofetada.

El punto es que Tupac, obviamente, significa mucho para Jada y que ella parece aliviada de que este capítulo podría estar llegando a su fin después de años de misterio e intriga.

Como informamos, Keefe D fue acusado de un cargo de asesinato abierto esta semana, solo un par de meses después de la aplicación de la ley que allanó su casa de Las Vegas, como ejecución de una orden de registro.

Jada Pinkett Smith is one of many who are happy to have somebody being held to account over the murder of Tupac Shakur -- and she made it known to her millions of followers.

The actress took to Instagram Friday night with a short but concise reaction to the Pac news -- namely, the fact that Duane 'Keefe D' Davis was arrested and charged with murder in connection to the open case out of Las Vegas ... which had seemingly gone cold for years.

JPS writes, "Now I hope we can get some answers and have some closure. R.I.P. Pac."

Like we said ... a fairly simple message on her part, but it's quite meaningful considering how much Tupac meant to Jada -- and how often she references him, even today.

Many are familiar with Jada's history with Pac ... they go way back, and were very close friends back in the '80s and '90s when they grew up together and mingled into adulthood.

Jada has long insisted they were never romantic, but some speculate that might not be the case ... again, she's spoken at length about him and has reminisced about their relationship publicly, to the point some have raised an eyebrow in retrospect -- especially post-slap.

That's neither here nor there ... point is, Tupac obviously means a lot to Jada -- and she seems relieved this chapter might be coming to a close after years of mystery/intrigue.

As we reported ... Keefe D was indicted on an open murder charge this week, just a couple months after law enforcement raided his Vegas-area home upon executing a search warrant.

Quando Rondo's presence is his community is apparently a cause for concern ... prosecutors want him banned from his hometown in Georgia because they say he's a target for violence.

TMZ Hip Hop obtained court docs in which prosecutors are asking to modify the Never Broke Again rapper's current bond conditions ... they want the judge to keep him out of Chatham County, Georgia pending his trial.

Quando currently resides in Midway, GA ... a town roughly 30 miles outside of Savannah and where they say doesn't have the same dangers for Quando in Chatham County, a more urban area.

On the flip side, prosecutors say Quando has been targeted in violent shooting attacks at least 3 times in urban settings, including a September 20 attack at a local barbershop where at least 2 people were shot and 30 shell casings were collected at the scene.

Officials note that Quando's bond was granted for him to continue his rap career -- but prosecutors say he was not performing or doing anything related to his music career "while loitering outside" at the time of the September shooting.

The docs also make mention of the August 2022 shooting when Quando's friend was killed in his presence.

We broke the story that kicked off this latest legal jam ... Quando was charged with drug possession over Father's Day weekend.

La pareja de DC Young Fly, Jacky Oh!, falleció como consecuencia de complicaciones derivadas de una cirugía estética, quejándose de que la cabeza le "ardía" horas antes de su muerte, según ha podido indagar TMZ.

Según el informe de la autopsia obtenido por TMZ, Jacky voló a Miami en mayo para someterse a un procedimiento de liposucción y grasa transferida a su trasero.

La cirugía se completó el 30 de mayo y a Jacky le recetaron Cliprofloxacina (un antibiótico), Oxicodona (un analgésico) y Ondansetrón (contra las náuseas).

Poco después, la paciente de 32 años empezó a tener dolor de cabeza, por lo que volvió al cirujano para una cita postoperatoria, entonces decidió hacerse un masaje para aliviar el dolor. Le aconsejaron que tomara ibuprofeno y que dejara de tomar el ondansetrón.

La noche del 31 de mayo, empezó a sentir que la cabeza le "ardía" y empezó a tener dificultades para hablar. Estaba con su tía, que llamó al 911, pero Jacky no reaccionó antes de que llegaran y fue declarada muerta en el hospital a las 11 de la noche.

Según el informe de la autopsia, Jacky presentaba inflamación cerebral y una extensa hemorragia en la piel del torso.

Una publicación en las redes sociales borrada antes de su muerte decía que estaba en la ciudad para someterse a un "cambio de imagen de mamá" con el Dr. Zachary Okhah.

El Dr. Okhah habló poco después de su muerte, pero no abordó la situación directamente. En lugar de declarar que su oficina "sigue dedicada a la atención médica de la más alta calidad",  añadió: "Todos los procedimientos estéticos se realizan en un ambiente higiénicamente seguro a las normas médicas universalmente reconocidas."

DC, que comparte tres hijos con Jackie, la llamó "LA MEJOR MADRE QUE CONOZCO" en un emotivo homenaje online, diciendo "TE AMARÉ PARA SIEMPRE solo sé que vamos más en serio que nunca y DIOS está en control y nos protege".

El rapero hizo todo lo posible por celebrar la vida de su ser querido en el funeral, multitudes de personas se presentaron a decir adiós y su ataúd se montó en un coche de caballos.

DC dio un emotivo discurso sobre Jackie en el funeral, haciendo eco de la efusión de amor que ha recibido desde su muerte. Para aquellos que no lo saben, Jackie y DC se conocieron en 2015 cuando ambos se unieron al elenco de "Wild 'N Out".

También nos encontramos con DC semanas después de la muerte de Jackie y dijo que está haciendo todo lo posible para mantenerse fuerte mientras regresa al trabajo.

Un representante de Jackie nos dijo que su marca de belleza, J Nova Collection, vio un aumento masivo en las ventas tras su muerte. Recibió más de 2.000 pedidos en solo dos semanas. Nos dijeron que el sitio web tuvo que cerrar debido al aumento del tráfico.

DC Young Fly's partner Jacky Oh!'s died as a result of complications from cosmetic surgery, complaining her head was "burning" just hours before her death, TMZ has learned.

According to the autopsy report, obtained by TMZ, Jacky flew to Miami in May to undergo a procedure where she had liposuction and fat transferred to her butt ... aka a BBL.

The surgery was completed May 30, and Jacky was prescribed Ciprofloxacin (an antibiotic), Oxycodone (a painkiller), and Ondansetron (anti-nausea).

Shortly thereafter, the 32-year-old began to get a headache, returning to the surgeon for a post-operative appointment ... she then decided to get a massage to help alleviate her pain, and was advised to take ibuprofen and to stop taking the Ondansetron.

On the night of May 31, Jacky began to feel her head was "burning" and began to have difficulty speaking, Jacky was with her aunt, who called 911 -- but Jacky went unresponsive before they arrived ... and was pronounced dead at the hospital at 11 PM.

The autopsy report states Jacky had swelling in her brain and extensive bleeding of the skin around her torso.

A since-deleted social media post before Jacky's death claimed she was in the city to go through a "mommy makeover" with Dr. Zachary Okhah.

Dr. Okhah spoke out shortly after her death, but didn't address the situation directly -- instead stating his office "remains devoted to the highest quality medical care." He added, "All aesthetic procedures are performed in a hygienically safe environment to universally recognized medical standards."

DC, who shares 3 kids with Jackie, called her "the GREATEST MOTHER I KNOW" in an emotional tribute online, saying "LOVE YOU FOREVER jus know we goinn harder than ever and GOD is in control and he got us covered."

The rapper went all out on an ATL funeral celebrating the life of his loved one -- droves of folks showed up to say goodbye, and her casket rode in on a horse-drawn carriage.

DC gave a touching speech about Jackie at the funeral ... echoing the outpouring of love she's received since her death. For those unaware, Jackie and DC met back in 2015 when he joined her and the rest of the cast of "Wild 'N Out."

We also got DC weeks after her death, and he said he's doing his best to stay strong as he jumped back to work.

A rep for Jackie told us her beauty brand, J Nova Collection, saw a massive spike in sales following her passing ... receiving over 2,000 orders in just 2 weeks. We were told the website had to shut down due to the increase in traffic.

2:35 PM PT -- Tupac Shakur's sister, Sekyiwa "Set," shared a statement to TMZ saying ... "This is no doubt a pivotal moment. The silence of the past 27 years surrounding this case has spoken loudly in our community. It’s important to me that the world, the country, the justice system, and our people acknowledge the gravity of the passing of this man, my brother, my mother’s son, my father’s son. His life and death matters, and should not go unsolved or unrecognized, so yes, today is a victory but I will reserve judgment until all the facts and legal proceedings are complete."

She concluded, "There have been multiple hands involved and there remains so much surrounding the life and death of my brother Tupac and our Shakur family overall. We are seeking real justice, on all fronts."

1:50 PM PT -- Duane Keith "Keefe D" Davis' mug shot has been released.

1:02 PM PT -- Law enforcement officials just held a press conference, revealing Davis gave them reason to get back on the case in 2018 when he started doing interviews and eventually wrote a book detailing his involvement in the murder.

Officials say once they executed the search warrant, they were able to present their new evidence to a grad jury who made the decision to indict Davis with one count of open murder with use of a deadly weapon with a gang enhancement.

Tupac Shakur was murdered 27 years ago, and there's finally been a major update in the case -- cops have made an arrest in connection to the killing.

Duane Keith "Keefe D" Davis was arrested early Friday morning by the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department on unknown charges related to Tupac's murder ... according to the AP, who says they spoke with two officials with first-hand knowledge of the arrest.

Davis certainly isn't a new name when it comes to Tupac's murder, admitting in interviews and his book "Compton Street Legend" that he was in the Cadillac from which the bullets that killed Tupac were fired.

Keefe D is a former Crip, and claims to be the uncle of the late Orlando Anderson ... who's been suspected, at least on the streets, to have been the shooter.

Orlando is also the man who got into the fight with Tupac and his crew inside the MGM Grand right after a Mike Tyson fight ... and shortly before the fatal shooting went down just off the Vegas strip.

It was back in July when cops descended on a Las Vegas home owned by Keefe D's wife, Paula Clemons, executing a search warrant in connection to the murder investigation.

During the search, cops took a computer hard drive, cell phones, a copy of Vibe magazine that featured Tupac and tubs containing old photographs.

They also took several .40 caliber bullets.

1:50 PM PT -- La foto policial de Duane Keith "Keefe D" Davis' ha sido revelada.

1:02 PM PT -- Las autoridades a cargo acaban de celebrar una conferencia de prensa, en donde dijeron que Davis les dio razones para volver al caso en 2018, cuando comenzó a hacer entrevistas y escribió un libro detallando su participación en el asesinato.

Los oficiales dicen que una vez que ejecutaron la orden de registro, pudieron presentar la nueva evidencia a un jurado graduado que tomó la decisión de acusar a Davis con un cargo de asesinato abierto con uso de un arma mortal con una pandilla.

Tupac Shakur fue asesinado hace 27 años, y finalmente ha habido una actualización importante en el caso, pues la policía arrestó a un sujeto relacionado con el crimen.

Duane Keith "Keefe D" Davis fue detenido la madrugada del viernes por el Departamento de Policía Metropolitana de Las Vegas, por cargos desconocidos relacionados con el asesinato de Tupac. Todo esto, según AP, que dice que habló con dos funcionarios con conocimiento de primera mano de la detención.

Davis ciertamente no es un nombre nuevo cuando se trata del asesinato de Tupac, quien ha admitido en entrevistas y en su libro "Compton Street Legend" que estaba en el Cadillac desde el cual se dispararon las balas que mataron a Tupac.

Keefe D es un antiguo Crip (pandilla callejera de L.A.), y afirma ser tío del fallecido Orlando Anderson, de quien se sospecha, al menos en las calles, que fue el tirador.

Orlando es también el hombre que se metió en la pelea con Tupac y su equipo en el interior del MGM Grand justo después de una pelea de Mike Tyson y poco antes de que el tiroteo fatal ocurriera justo al lado del bulevar de Las Vegas.

Fue en julio cuando los policías se dirigieron hasta una casa de Las Vegas, propiedad de la esposa de Keefe D, Paula Clemons, para ejecutar una orden de registro relacionada con la investigación del asesinato.

Durante el registro, los policías tomaron un disco duro del computador, teléfonos móviles, una copia de la revista Vibe que tenía a Tupac y bañeras con fotografías antiguas.

También se llevaron varias balas del calibre 40.

Dianne Feinstein entertained a close friend at her house -- and posed for photos with her -- in the hours preceding her sudden death.

The esteemed, longtime Senator from California posed for a photo Thursday afternoon with former California congresswoman Jane Harman ... who told CNN she was likely the last person to see Dianne.

As we reported ... Dianne died Thursday night at her home in Washington D.C.

Dianne was 90 years old and needed a wheelchair to get around the Capitol earlier this month, but she was standing and smiling in Thursday's photo ... so her death was clearly unexpected, at least judging from the last pic she snapped.

In fact, Dianne was working right up until her death ... in addition to hosting Harman at home, Dianne cast her final vote Thursday on the Senate floor.

Dianne needed help getting onto the floor to vote ... raising her hand and voting 'aye' in favor of short-term funding for the government.

Un adolescente canadiense falleció después de ponerse de pie a través del techo de un carro y cruzar a través de un garaje de estacionamiento, trayecto en el que accidentalmente golpeó su cuerpo contra una viga de hormigón.

La Policía de Edmonton respondió a una llamada en el estacionamiento del West Edmonton Mall el jueves por la tarde, después de enterarse sobre las heridas del hombre de 18 años.

Los oficiales dicen que el carro se estaba moviendo bajo una rampa cuando el chico se levantó y se golpeó con la viga. Los paramédicos respondieron para intentar tratarlo, lo llevaron al hospital, pero murió a causa de sus heridas.

Según la policía, el conductor de 17 años de edad, de sexo masculino y un pasajero de 15 años de edad, no resultaron heridos, pero siguen investigando para obtener más detalles.

En este momento, la policía no cree que el exceso de velocidad, las drogas o el alcohol hayan jugado un papel en la colisión fatal.

A Canadian teenager is dead after standing up through a car sunroof, cruising through a parking garage ... and accidentally slamming his body into a concrete beam.

Edmonton Police responded to a call at the West Edmonton Mall's parking garage Thursday afternoon ... after getting the call about the 18-year-old man's injuries.

EPS says the car was moving under a ramp when the guy stood up and struck the beam. Paramedics responded to treat the guy and rushed him to the hospital, but he died from his injuries.

According to cops, the 17-year-old male driver and a 15-year-old passenger weren't injured -- but cops are still investigating to get more details.

At this point, the police don't think speeding, drugs or alcohol played a role in the fatal collision.

Dianne Feinstein -- the esteemed, longtime Senator from California, has died.

A statement from Feinstein's team reveals she died Thursday night at her home in Washington D.C.. The statement reads, "Her passing is a great loss for so many, from those who loved and cared for her to the people of California that she dedicated her life to serving."

Feinstein was the longest-serving female member of the Senate in history -- spending more than three decades within the hallowed walls of the Senate. She was a staunch Democrat from San Francisco and a strong voice for gun control.

Before serving in the Senate, Feinstein cut her political teeth as a member of the San Francisco Board of Supervisors. She became Mayor of San Francisco in 1978 after Mayor George Moscone was assassinated, along with Supervisor Harvey Milk. She became a U.S. Senator in 1992.

California Governor Gavin Newsom has said in the event of a Senate vacancy he would appoint a Black woman to serve out Feinstein's term.

The 90-year-old senator has suffered from various ailments in the last few years. She had a long absence recently because of shingles and Ramsay Hunt Syndrome, along with encephalitis. There were calls for her resignation but Feinstein decided to tough it out.

The senator was born in 1933 in San Francisco, going to an all girls' high school and participating in things like ballet, athletics, and the glee club. She went on to attend Stanford University, graduating in 1955 with a Bachelor of Arts in history.

She was 90.

Dianne Feinstein, la estimada senadora por largo tiempo en California, ha muerto.

Un comunicado de su equipo revela que falleció el jueves por la noche en su casa de Washington D.C. El comunicado dice: "Su fallecimiento es una gran pérdida para muchos, desde los que la querían y cuidaban hasta el pueblo de California al que dedicó su vida a servir".

Feinstein fue la mujer que más tiempo ocupó un escaño en el Congreso, más de tres décadas en el Senado. Era una demócrata incondicional de San Francisco y una firme defensora del control de armas.

Antes de trabajar en el Senado, Feinstein se inició en la política como miembro de la Junta de Supervisores de San Francisco. En 1978 fue nombrada alcaldesa de la ciudad tras el asesinato del alcalde George Moscone, junto con el supervisor Harvey Milk. En 1992 se convirtió en Senadora de los Estados Unidos.

El gobernador de California, Gavin Newsom, ha declarado que en caso de que se produzca una vacante en el Senado, nombraría a una mujer de raza negra para completar el mandato de Feinstein.

La senadora de 90 años había sufrido diversas dolencias en los últimos años. Recientemente, estuvo mucho tiempo de baja debido a herpes y al síndrome de Ramsay Hunt, además de una encefalitis. Hubo peticiones de dimisión, pero Feinstein decidió permanecer.

Dianne Feinstein nació en 1933 en San Francisco, donde asistió a un instituto femenino y participó en actividades como ballet, atletismo y coro. Estudió en Stanford y se licenció en Historia en 1955.

Tenía 90 años.

New video from inside the horrific fire at a wedding in Iraq shows how quickly the flames spread in only seconds before over 100 people were killed.

The clips show the happy couple dancing inside the Al Haithem wedding hall near the village of Qaraqosh also known as Al-Hamdaniya Tuesday night. A series of sparklers goes off around them, starting the blaze and sending guests into a panic.

Flowers hanging from a massive truss above the couple seem to act as fuel to the flames, going up almost immediately as embers fall to the ground.

After most had evacuated the main room, huge beams -- completely on fire -- crashed to the ground. Footage after the fatal incident shows the intense destruction caused to the building.

The bride and groom reportedly made it out alive, but Reuters says 113 people have been confirmed dead, and another 150 suffered injuries. Iraq's Interior Ministry has allegedly issued arrest warrants for the owners of the wedding hall, with 1 already in cuffs as of Thursday.

Survivors from the wedding fire claim the place wasn't equipped for a disaster like this ... and one woman told the outlet, "This was not a wedding. This was hell," while crying and hitting herself after losing her 27-year-old daughter and 3 grandkids in the fire -- one of whom was just 8 months old.
