One of the brightest stars of the legendary 1990s sports entertainment show Gladiators has died. Lize Van der Walt was 60 years old. Born in South Africa, Van der Walt grew up in Switzerland, quickly distinguishing herself as a breakout runner and climber. After moving to the United Kingdom and finding work as a personal trainer, her friends encouraged her to try out for Gladiators, a TV show centered around physical prowess and athletic fortitude. Van der Walt, who was called Gold on the program, became a sensation in her 1997 debut. However, persistent injuries kept her sidelined. She eventually left the show and moved back to South Africa to become an artist and psychosocial coach. But that wouldn’t be the end of Van der Walt’s TV career. She returned to the Gladiators Arena in 2000, which representatives from the show called a “proud full-circle moment.” Years later, in 2013, Van der Walt was diagnosed with cancer. She died this past Sunday. Following her death, the BBC thanked her for the memories. “You will always be part of Gladiators history,” the broadcaster wrote in a statement.

Denise Richards penned a lengthy tribute to her ex, Days of Our Lives star Patrick Muldoon, after his death on Sunday from a sudden heart attack. “This is so hard for me to put into words. I am deeply heartbroken & devastated losing you,” Richards wrote in a Tuesday Instagram post. The post featured a montage of the two in various photos and videos set to the 1972 Bread song “Everything I Own.” In her statement, she called him her best friend and family, recounting the day they first crossed paths in an acting class when she was 19 and he was 21. The two would end up dating for five years in the 1990s and even collaborated professionally, starring together in the 1997 film Starship Troopers. “You’re my voice of reason & pillar of strength. Especially during this last year of pain & heartache. And now I need you more than ever, for this pain and heartache losing you,” she said, possibly referring to her ongoing divorce from Aaron Phypers. She wrote at length about his qualities, praising his laugh, kindness, strength, passion, and more, adding that he was larger than life and the most talented and underrated actor. “I need to know you’re still here with me. I love you so much & miss you dearly schweetbabe. 💔🙏🪽,” she concluded the emotional post.

The son of legendary actors Dennis Quaid and Meg Ryan has tied the knot. Jack Quaid, 33, married his The Boys co-star Claudia Doumit, 34, in a low-key affair at Mona Farm in Braidwood, New South Wales, on Saturday, according to The Daily Telegraph. In pictures posted by their guests, Quaid can be seen deviating from the norm, wearing a red blazer with gold detailing, while Doumit has donned a classic white satin dress on their big day. Their marriage was a star-studded affair, with Quaid’s parents in attendance, as well as actors Alec Baldwin, Tom Hanks, Kevin Costner, and Henry Goulding. The two were first romantically linked in June 2022 during the season three premiere of their show. Quaid plays Hughie Campbell in The Boys, while Doumit played the show’s major antagonist, Victoria Neuman, until her death in season 4. The couple’s friends from The Boys also attended the nuptials, including Karl Urban, Colby Minifie, and Nathan Mitchell.

A 67-year-old woman died while snorkeling off the coast of Queensland, Australia, last Friday. The woman was found unresponsive in the water near the Tangalooma Wrecks, a group of sunken ships near the shore of Moreton Island. Local officials said, “attempts were made to revive the woman, however, she was pronounced deceased at the scene.” Investigations into the circumstances of her death remain ongoing. The woman was a passenger on the Carnival Splendor, a Carnival cruise ship that began its four-day journey from Sydney on April 15. The cruise company said its care team is “supporting the guest’s family.” The Daily Beast reached out to the company for more details surrounding the death. Another passenger on the ship jumped overboard. A Carnival spokesperson said a man in his seventies “apparently climbed over the safety railing and jumped overboard” on Friday night, when the ship was traveling from Moreton Island to Sydney. The Australian Maritime Safety Authority told The Brisbane Times they undertook an “intensive air and sea search involving multiple assets.” The mission reportedly included five rescue helicopters and six surface vessels. After three days, authorities told People the search had been suspended.

Cannabis and THC treats now come in more forms than ever. Now, Batch is adding another to the mix: micro mints. Small, discreet, and precisely dosed, these micro mints are made for people who want to experience THC’s uplifting effects without the heavy-handedness that comes with traditional edibles like gummies, baked goods, and even beverages. Whether you’re new to THC or have been burned in the past by edibles that hit a little harder than expected, Batch’s micro mints deliver a smoother, more controlled experience.

Micro Mints

30 mints per tin

Each mint delivers just 1mg of THC and 1mg of full-spectrum CBD. For comparison, Batch’s least potent blend of gummies (Uplift) contains 5mg of THC and 5mg of CBD. The low dose of these mints makes it easy to start slow and stack your dose one mint at a time. After taking one mint, you’ll notice a subtle mood lift that kicks in as fast as 15 minutes, versus 45 minutes for gummies. On top of being peppermint flavored, the mints are sugar-free and contain no seed oils, gluten, dairy, or soy. They even come packaged in a sleek (and discreet) tin that slips into a pocket, purse, or gym bag. You can pick one tin up for $35 or subscribe and save up to 42 percent and get free shipping.

Christina Applegate has posted a message online thanking fans for their support after reports emerged that she had been hospitalized in late March. The Married… with Children star was diagnosed in 2021 with multiple sclerosis and has been hospitalized “upwards of 30 times” since, she revealed in a 2025 podcast episode, though it’s not clear if the latest hospital stay was related to her diagnosis. “Thank you for the outpouring of love and well wishes,” she wrote in an April 20 Instagram post. “Health issues are a constant for me, but I’m a strong chick and I’m getting stronger and better every day. I’m taking a moment to focus on my health, but I’ll be back with more to say soon enough.” The post showed a copy of her memoir You with the Sad Eyes, which was released in early March, perched on a wooden balcony with trees behind it. The book details how her symptoms, which ended her acting career and have made it difficult for her to appear in public, forced her to confront her past trauma.

Three secretaries have been exiled from Trump’s Cabinet. All three are women. Two said they were leaving for “the private sector,” and one was shifted to a phony new job. All were replaced by white men. In a White House where chaos is a management philosophy, that detail lands with a thud. Secretary of Labor Lori Chavez-DeRemer is the latest to go, dispatched despite North Korean–level flattery to Dear Leader. At a Cabinet meeting last August, she gushed about Trump’s “big, beautiful face,” inviting him to see it on a banner at the Department of Labor. He smirked and called her a “gem.” Eight months later, the gem has lost its luster. Loyalty, as ever, is no guarantee of survival. Chavez-DeRemer joins Kristi Noem and Pam Bondi in the dustbin of history. All three were flawed in executing their jobs, but then again, incompetence is hardly a distinguishing feature in this Cabinet of blunders. So why are the women the ones going? If performance were the metric, the line might look very different.

Is this sexism, or simply the random culling of a deeply unserious administration? Click through to PRIMAL SCREAM to read Joanna Coles’ full analysis.

Jami Gertz made a rare public appearance at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art’s gala on April 16, hand-in-hand with her billionaire husband, Tony Ressler. Gertz, 60, had donned a white Libertine coat, while Ressler, 66, wore a classic black tuxedo to the elegant affair. The Sixteen Candles star attended to celebrate the opening of the David Geffen Galleries. The couple donated $50 million to the museum, which named the south wing of the new addition, the Ressler Family Wing. Ressler has served as a co-chair of the museum’s board for over a decade. The couple has often made significant investments together, including a $720 million purchase of the NBA team, the Atlanta Hawks, in 2015. Gertz has been candid about her status as an actress-turned-billionaire during their 39-year marriage. “Everyone thinks I married a rich guy. But I made more money—way more money—than Tony when I met him. I paid for our first house. I paid for our first vacation. I married him because I fell in love with him.”

Surfer Guy Rowles has shared all about his encounter with one of the world’s deadliest animals. While surfing at Sujees Surf Stay in Fiji’s Cloudbreak, known for having some of the best waves in the world, Rowles encountered something more fearsome. On the first day of his trip, the Australian surfer was stung by one of the world’s most venomous animals—a box jellyfish. “All of a sudden, something hectic stung my arm. It felt like someone had just poured burning hot oil on me,” Rowles told surfing publication Stab in an interview published Monday. Rowles was in the water with his father when he saw the jellyfish’s tentacles wrap around his arm. He managed to pull them off, but not quickly enough. “I’m looking at my dad going, ‘F--- Dad, am I going to die?’” Rowles recalled, describing the pain. “I was shaking, vomiting, couldn’t really feel my legs.” He was rushed to the nearest hospital, but missed the one-hour mark to administer the antidote. Doctors could only douse his arm with vinegar and morphine to help with the pain. They told him that if he’d been stung anywhere else, he could’ve died. “They said I was lucky that I didn’t get it on my face or neck. And that if I wasn’t young and healthy, it could’ve gone a lot differently,” Rowles said.

NASA’s plan to return humans to the Moon by 2028 is facing fresh uncertainty after a government audit warned that delays in developing next-generation spacesuits could derail the timeline. A report from NASA’s Office of Inspector General found that the agency is struggling to deliver the critical suits needed for astronauts to walk on the lunar surface safely. Development schedules have already slipped by more than a year, and auditors warned that key testing milestones could be pushed as far out as 2031—three years after NASA’s target Moon landing. The suits are a central requirement for the Artemis program, replacing outdated equipment used on the International Space Station and far more advanced than Apollo-era designs. NASA has turned to the private sector, including Axiom Space, to develop the new systems after another contractor withdrew, leaving Axiom as the sole provider. But auditors caution that relying on one contractor increases risk for NASA’s broader return-to-the-Moon ambitions. The findings come as NASA pushes ahead with its Artemis program, which aims to return astronauts to the lunar surface for the first time since 1972.

A lone gunman opened fire at a popular Mexican tourist destination, killing one woman and wounding 13 other people before shooting himself dead. The bloodbath erupted around 11:30 a.m. atop an ancient pyramid in the Teotihuacán archaeological complex, a UNESCO-listed site 30 miles from Mexico City that welcomed more than 1.8 million foreign tourists in 2025. Local prosecutors named the killer as Julio Cesar Jasso Ramirez, 27, who fired from the Pyramid of the Moon. Daniel Edwards, a tourist from Ontario, Canada, who had climbed down from the pyramid with his wife moments earlier, told CBC News: “I just started to hear people scream. I looked up and he was with his gun pointed in the air.” His tour guide told him to run. Another Canadian, Felicia Lee, 26, was among those injured. Six Americans and a Russian were also hurt, along with three Colombian nationals and a pair of Brazilians. The slain woman, who is also Canadian, has not been publicly named. The gunman’s motive is not yet known.
