RIP

Brandi Mallory -- a former cast member on the TV show "Extreme Weight Loss" -- has died in Georgia.

Mallory passed away in Atlanta on November 9, according to the Fulton County Medical Examiner's Office.  Her cause of death has not been disclosed.

The ex-reality star made her 2014 appearance on season 4 of the ABC series. She revealed why she joined "Extreme Weight Loss" during a 2018 interview uploaded to YouTube.

Mallory told a journalist she was motivated to shed pounds after her overweight sorority sister died at age 29.

She said it played on her mind that she could die too if she didn't do something about her 329-pound frame.

The makeup artist said she went on a casting call for "The Biggest Loser," but was rejected, yet the producers helped her win a spot on "Extreme Weight Loss."

That show featured obese people on their journey to shed weight with a healthy diet and workout routine.

Mallory was 40.

Eight high school students in Las Vegas are facing murder charges after being arrested in connection with the fatal beating of fellow student Jonathan Lewis.

The 17-year-old died earlier this month as a result of blunt force trauma injuries suffered in a beatdown near Rancho High School ... and the Clark County coroner's office listed the manner of death as a homicide, leading to a slew of arrests.

Cops in Sin City announced Tuesday all 8 arrested are between the ages of 13 and 17 ... and they're students at Rancho High.

With the assistance of the FBI, cops took all 8 students into custody Tuesday morning ... and law enforcement is still working to identify 2 more teens believed to be involved in the fatal beatdown.

The incident happened Nov. 1 after school let out, and video shows Jonathan getting beaten by a bunch of students. Police say the fight started over stolen wireless headphones and possibly a stolen vape pen ... with everyone agreeing to meet in an alley and fight over it.

While the video appears to show Jonathan, who is white, getting swarmed by mostly Black kids ... cops say the incident is not being considered a hate crime -- but note the beating was "void of humanity."

Ocho estudiantes de secundaria de Las Vegas se enfrentan a cargos de asesinato tras ser detenidos por golpear a su compañero Jonathan Lewis y causarle la muerte.

El joven de 17 años murió a principios de este mes como resultado de traumatismos contundentes sufridos en una paliza cerca de Rancho High School, y la oficina del forense del condado de Clark está catalogando la muerte como un homicidio, lo que ha llevado a una serie de detenciones.

La policía de la ciudad del pecado anunció el martes que los ocho detenidos tienen entre 13 y 17 años y son estudiantes de Rancho High.

Con la ayuda del FBI, los policías tomaron en custodia a los ocho estudiantes el martes por la mañana y la ley sigue trabajando por identificar a otros dos adolescentes que se cree estuvieron involucrados en el fatal episodio.

El incidente tuvo lugar el 1 de noviembre a la salida del colegio. Un video muestra a Jonathan recibiendo una paliza por parte de un grupo de estudiantes. La policía dice que la pelea comenzó por unos auriculares inalámbricos robados y posiblemente un vaporizador. Todos estuvieron de acuerdo con reunirse en un callejón y luchar por ellos.

Aunque el video parece mostrar a Jonathan, que es blanco, rodeado por una mayoría de chicos negros, los policías dicen que el incidente no está siendo considerado como un crimen de odio, pero advierten que la paliza fue una "falta de humanidad".

Erica se unió a nosotros en "TMZ Live" el Martes para hablar de su momento en la "Red Carpet Viewing" de su amigo y diseñador de moda, Vernest Moore, revelando que la celebración se planeó con antelación y las primeras conversaciones fueron con el mismísimo Vernest.

Ella dice que su decisión de desfilar frente a su ataúd abierto es exactamente como Vernest hubiera querido ser despedido y ella dice que los asistentes estaban de acuerdo también.

Erica dice que todavía se emociona al pensar en la pérdida de Vernest, diciendo que estuvo con él en algunos de sus últimos momentos, y admite que sus nervios sacaron lo mejor de ella antes de dejar su huella en el velatorio.

Model Erica L. Carrington is getting a lot of heat for her runway walk at her designer pal's funeral, but says she doesn't regret doing it one bit ... claiming it's exactly what her late friend would've wanted.

Erica joined us on "TMZ Live" Tuesday to talk about her moment at the "Red Carpet Viewing" of her friend and fashion designer, Vernest Moore -- revealing the entire weekend celebration was planned out ahead of time, with early talks coming from Vernest himself.

She says her decision to strut her stuff to his open casket is exactly how Vernest would've wanted to be sent off ... and she says those in attendance were on board with it too.

Erica says she still gets emotional thinking about the loss of Vernest, saying she was with him in some of his final moments, and admits her nerves got the best of her before making her mark at his viewing.

Courteney Cox se está abriendo por primera vez sobre la pérdida de su compañero en "Friends", Matthew Perry, recordando un especial momento del famoso programa de televisión.

La actriz acaba de publicar un video de un viejo episodio de la serie en el que empieza la relación entre Chandler y Mónica. Además, compartió una historia sobre cómo Matthew le susurró una divertida línea antes de empezar la escena para que ella dijera.

En el clip, Chandler está en la cama cuando Ross irrumpe en la pieza, emocionado por su próxima boda. Ross se va y entonces Monica aparece de debajo de las sábanas, un giro en la historia que volvió loca a la audiencia.

Courteney dice: "A menudo hacía cosas así. Era divertido y amable".

En su primera intervención desde su muerte también dijo: "Estoy muy agradecida por cada momento que tuve contigo Matty y te echo de menos todos los días".

El homenaje de Courteney viene pisando los talones a un emotivo post de su compañero de reparto Matt LeBlanc, en el que escribió: "Los momentos que compartimos juntos están honestamente entre los favoritos de mi vida".

Recuerden, Courteney, Matt, Jennifer Aniston, Lisa Kudrow y David Schwimmer se despidieron del actor a principios de este mes en su funeral.

La familia de Matthew también asistió y nos enteramos de que su ataúd fue colocado en una zona apartada del famoso cementerio Forest Lawn en las colinas de Hollywood, junto a otras celebridades como Debbie Reynolds y Carrie Fisher.

TMZ publicó la historia, Matthew fue encontrado sin vida en su jacuzzi el mes pasado, y aún persisten muchas preguntas sobre su causa de muerte, las que no serán respondidas dentro varias semanas más, por lo menos.

Courteney Cox is opening up for the first time about the loss of her late "Friends" star Matthew Perry ... recalling one special moment they shared on their famous TV show.

The actress just posted a video of an old "Friends" episode where Chandler and Monica's relationship begins ... sharing a story of how Matthew whispered a funny line for her to say before the scene began.

In the clip, Chandler is in bed when Ross busts through the door, excited about his upcoming wedding. Ross leaves and then Monica appears from under the covers. The audience goes crazy and after her scripted line, Courteney turns to Matthew and says, "OK, your turn."

Courteney says ... "He often did things like that. He was funny and he was kind."

In breaking her silence on MP's death, Courteney adds ... "I am so grateful for every moment I had with you Matty and I miss you every day."

Courteney's tribute comes on the heels of an emotional post from their fellow 'Friends' costar Matt LeBlanc ... with Matt saying, "The times we had together are honestly among the favorite times of my life."

Remember ... Courteney, Matt, Jennifer Aniston, Lisa Kudrow and David Schwimmer said goodbye to the actor at his funeral earlier this month.

Matthew's family also attended his funeral service, and we learned his casket was placed in a secluded area of the famous Forest Lawn cemetery in the Hollywood Hills ... next to the final resting places for other celebs like Debbie Reynolds and Carrie Fisher.

TMZ broke the story ... Matthew was found unresponsive in his jacuzzi last month, and questions about the cause of death remain ... and they won't be answered for several more weeks, at least.

Matthew, we learned, also went to 'Friends' script writers back in the day and got them to cut a storyline where his character was supposed to cheat on Courteney's.

San Diego Padres chairman and owner Peter Seidler has sadly died at 63 years old ... the team announced Tuesday.

Padres CEO Erik Greupner shared the heartbreaking news on social media .... saying in a statement Seidler was "beloved" in the org.

A cause of death was not revealed ... however, Seidler -- a two-time cancer survivor -- had undergone health issues recently, revealing in mid-September he had needed a medical procedure in August that would force him to miss the rest of his team's 2023 games.

"Today, our love and prayers encircle Peter's family as they grieve the loss of an extraordinary husband, father, son, brother, uncle, and friend," Greupner said.

"Peter was a kind and generous man who was devoted to his wife, children, and extended family."

Seidler bought the Padres back in 2012 with his uncle, Peter, and Ron Fowler after they created the O'Malley Group.

Fowler was named the ownership group's executive chairman ... but in 2020, he transferred his role to Seidler. Fowler still remains as Padres vice chairman.

Outside of baseball business, Seidler was big on helping the homeless in San Diego ... joining the Lucky Duck Foundation as one of the board of directors.

"His impact on the city of San Diego and the baseball world will be felt for generations," Greupner said. "His generous spirit is now firmly embedded in the fabric of the Padres."

"Although he was our Chairman and owner, Peter was at his core a Padres fan. He will be dearly missed."

The Padres will allow fans to pay respect to Seidler at Petco Park's Home Plate Gate on Tuesday afternoon.

Matt LeBlanc is paying tribute to his late "Friends" costar, Matthew Perry ... calling the time they shared together the best of his entire life.

The actor shared his emotional thoughts Tuesday, saying, "It was an honor to share the stage with you and to call you my friend. I will always smile when I think of you and I'll never forget you. Never."

He continues, "Spread your wings and fly brother you're finally free. Much love." ... jokingly adding at the end, "I guess you're keeping the 20 bucks you owe me."

As we reported, Matt and Matthew's fellow "Friends" castmates -- Jennifer Aniston, Courteney Cox, Lisa Kudrow, and David Schwimmer -- said goodbye to the actor at his funeral earlier this month.

The service looked incredibly solemn, following a week of the entire world in shock by Matthew's unexpected death.

We learned his casket was placed in a secluded area of Forest Lawn in the Hollywood Hills ... next to other actors like Carrie Fisher and Debbie Reynolds.

Remember, Matthew was found unresponsive in his jacuzzi, but there are still a lot of unanswered questions ... ones that likely won't be answered for several more weeks, at least.

Matt LeBlanc está rindiendole homenaje a su difunto compañero de "Friends", Matthew Perry, calificando el tiempo que compartieron juntos como el mejor de toda su vida.

El actor compartió sus emotivos pensamientos el martes, diciendo: "Fue un honor compartir el escenario contigo y llamarte mi amigo. Siempre sonreiré cuando piense en ti y nunca te olvidaré. Jamás".

Y continúa: "Extiende tus alas y vuela hermano por fin eres libre. Con mucho amor". ... añadiendo en broma al final: "Supongo que te quedas con los 20 pavos que me debes".

Como ya informamos, los compañeros de reparto de "Friends" de Matt y Matthew: Jennifer Aniston, Courteney Cox, Lisa Kudrow y David Schwimmer, se despidieron del actor en su funeral a principios de este mes.

El servicio parecía increíblemente solemne, después de una semana de todo el mundo en estado de shock por la inesperada muerte.

Nos enteramos de su ataúd fue colocado en una zona aislada de Forest Lawn en las colinas de Hollywood junto a otros actores como Carrie Fisher y Debbie Reynolds.

Recordemos que Matthew fue encontrado sin vida en su jacuzzi, pero todavía hay un montón de preguntas sin respuesta que probablemente no se responderán sino hasta varias semanas más.

La policía de Inglaterra dice que ha puesto a un hombre en custodia esta semana, luego de que afirman que el hombre tenía una conexión con la muerte del ex jugador de la NHL Adam Johnson.

Según la policía de South Yorkshire, el hombre fue arrestado bajo sospecha de homicidio involuntario el martes, 17 días después de la trágica muerte de Johnson a causa de las heridas que sufrió cuando el patín de Matt Petgrave le cortó en el cuello durante un partido de la Elite Ice Hockey League.

Al anunciar la detención, la policía no dijo si Petgrave era el hombre que tenían en custodia

"Nuestra investigación se inició inmediatamente después de la tragedia y hemos estado llevando a cabo extensas investigaciones desde entonces para reconstruir los acontecimientos que condujeron a la pérdida de Adán en estas circunstancias sin precedentes". El detective superintendente en jefe Becs Horsfall dijo de la detención en un comunicado.

"Hemos hablado con expertos altamente especializados en su campo para que nos ayuden y seguimos colaborando estrechamente con el departamento de salud y seguridad del Ayuntamiento de Sheffield que está apoyando nuestra investigación en curso".

Johnson jugaba en Inglaterra con los Nottingham Panthers contra los Sheffield Steelers cuando ocurrió la tragedia.

Video de la arena mostró el momento en que Johnson estaba cruzando la línea azul, Petgrave pateó su patín en el aire y cortó al ex centro de los Pittsburgh Penguins en la garganta. La sangre se derramó inmediatamente sobre el hielo y Johnson fue llevado al hospital para recibir tratamiento de emergencia. Lamentablemente, sucumbió a sus heridas.

La policía reveló el martes que "un examen post-mortem confirmó que murió como resultado de una lesión fatal en el cuello".

"La muerte de Adam ha conmocionado a muchas comunidades, desde nuestros residentes locales aquí en Sheffield hasta los aficionados al hockey sobre hielo de todo el mundo", dijo Horsfall. "Sabemos que estas comunidades esperan que llevemos esta investigación con la misma profesionalidad, imparcialidad y sensibilidad que cualquier otra y le pedimos a los miembros del público que se abstengan de hacer comentarios y especulaciones que puedan entorpecer este proceso. Nuestros pensamientos están con todos los afectados por este devastador incidente mientras continúan las investigaciones".

Los Panthers, por su parte, habían calificado inicialmente la muerte de Johnson de "accidente extraño".

Cops in England say they have placed a man in custody this week ... after they claim the guy had a connection to the death of ex-NHL player Adam Johnson.

According to South Yorkshire Police ... the man was arrested on suspicion of manslaughter on Tuesday -- 17 days after Johnson tragically died from injuries he suffered when Matt Petgrave's skate slashed him in the neck during an Elite Ice Hockey League game.

In announcing the arrest, cops did not say if Petgrave was the man they had in custody.

"Our investigation launched immediately following this tragedy and we have been carrying out extensive enquiries ever since to piece together the events which led to the loss of Adam in these unprecedented circumstances," SYP detective chief superintendent Becs Horsfall said of the arrest in a statement.

"We have been speaking to highly specialised experts in their field to assist in our enquiries and continue to work closely with the health and safety department at Sheffield City Council, which is supporting our ongoing investigation."

Johnson was playing for the Nottingham Panthers against the Sheffield Steelers in England when the tragedy happened.

Video from the arena showed as Johnson was crossing the blueline, Petgrave kicked his skate into the air ... and clipped the former Pittsburgh Penguins center in the throat. Blood immediately poured onto the ice -- and while Johnson was rushed to the hospital for emergency treatment, he sadly succumbed to his injuries.

Cops revealed Tuesday "a post-mortem examination confirmed he died as a result of a fatal neck injury."

"Adam's death has sent shockwaves through many communities, from our local residents here in Sheffield to ice hockey fans across the world," Horsfall said. "We know these communities will expect us to handle this investigation with the same professionalism, fairness and sensitivity as any other and request that members of the public refrain from comment and speculation which could hinder this process. Our thoughts remain with all affected by this devastating incident as enquiries continue."

The Panthers, meanwhile, had initially called Johnson's death "a freak accident."

Mientras que la muerte es casi siempre un momento de duelo, a veces puede ser un momento para la celebración, o incluso para lucirse en una pasarela. Al menos así lo hizo una modelo en Nueva Jersey.

El diseñador Vernest Moore murió el 22 de octubre, y amigos y familiares se reunieron la semana pasada en Newark para un "Red Carpet Viewing". El evento se completó con una alfombra roja que conducía hasta el ataúd abierto de Vernest.

La amiga de Moore y modelo, Erica L. Carrington, sin duda quiso dejar una impresión duradera con Vernest, dándolo todo en la alfombra posando, parando para las fotos y trabajando en la pasarela.

La multitud ciertamente parecía encantada, animando a Erica cuando ella se detuvo para besar el taúd antes de posar una vez más. Erica escribió: "NO PUEDO CREER que este sea mi último paseo por ti, así que NO LO HARÉ. A partir de ahora, aunque no esté caminando POR TI, estaré caminando CONTIGO, porque sé que SIEMPRE estarás conmigo".

Mientras que algunas personas en las redes sociales estaban confundidas por la caminata de Erica ... a muchos les encantó y escribieron: "Rezo para que cuando sea mi hora... todos mis amigos creativos como tú lleguen con este tipo de energía". Otro dijo: "Me encanta todo esto. Los funerales están destinados a ser celebraciones y esto fue tan creativo y exagerado".

Sin duda fue una manera de honrar a su amigo.

While death is almost always a time for grieving, sometimes it can be a time for celebration -- or even strutting your stuff on a runway -- as one model in New Jersey has now shown.

Designer Vernest Moore died October 22, and friends and family gathered last week in Newark for a "Red Carpet Viewing." The event came complete with a red carpet leading all the way to Vernest's open casket.

Moore's friend and model, Erica L. Carrington, certainly wanted to leave a lasting impression with Vernest ... giving it all on the carpet by posing, stopping for pics and working the runway.

The crowd certainly seemed to love it, cheering for Erica as she stopped to blow Vernest a kiss at his casket before posing one more time in front of it. Erica wrote, "I CAN’T BELIEVE this would be my final walk for you, so I WON’T. From now on…even if I’m not walking FOR YOU, I’ll be walking WITH YOU, because I know you’ll ALWAYS be with me."

While some people on social media were confused by Erica's walk ... many loved it, writing, "I pray that when it’s my time… all my creative friends like yourself arrive with this type of energy." Another said, "I love everything about this. Funerals are intended to be celebrations, and this was so creative and over the top."

Certainly one way to honor your pal.

It's been 9 months since the tragic death of Audrina Patridge's 15-year-old niece, Sadie, and cops are working to find out who may have supplied the drugs that killed the young girl.

Law enforcement sources tell TMZ ... Sadie's death has officially been ruled a narcotic overdose. However, they've not yet determined the manner of death as there's currently an investigation for possible criminal charges.

Our sources say cops want to figure out how Sadie was able to obtain the drugs.

One source tells us ... Sadie was able to buy Percocet through Snapchat, and it was laced with fentanyl. Of course, if that's the case ... cops will work to determine who sold it to the young teen and charges will likely follow.

You'll remember, the man who supplied Mac Miller with a fatal dose of fentanyl was sentenced to 17.5 years in May of last year after Mac's 2018 death ... so it's very much a serious offense.

It was back in February when Audrina announced the heartbreaking news that Sadie had died, writing, "My beautiful niece is now in heaven. I know Its not goodbye forever, but it is the hardest to say goodbye for now. We will miss you and cherish every single moment we had with you. Rest in peace Say Say!! We love you forever & ever!"

Donald Trump's older sister, Maryanne Trump Barry, has died at her home in Manhattan.

The exact circumstances surrounding her death are not clear right now, but Maryanne's body was found Monday morning ... according to multiple reports. No foul play is suspected.

The elder Trump was a longtime attorney, and even served as a federal judge in New Jersey before she retired in 2019.

She was reportedly a close confidant of Donald's back in the day, and some have suggested he once took her advice and counsel very seriously -- that is, until they had an apparent falling out once he was elected President in 2016.

This all came to light in 2020 when Don and Maryanne's niece, Mary Trump, started trashing her famous uncle ... not to mention releasing tapes that appeared to show Maryanne also dogging her younger bro.

In some of those recordings, she could be heard accusing Donald of "lying" and having "no principles." Maryanne was one of Donald's 2 last living siblings -- his brothers Fred and Robert had already died.

Now, he just has his other older sister, Elizabeth, who's still alive.

Maryanne was 86.
