Several of Michael's friends confirmed the sad news, with performance artist Tim Miller taking to Facebook to write: "I am mourning my beloved Michael Kearns. AIDS performer-warrior. Big brother. Friend since 1984. Truly one of a kind. The world is a smaller place… I love you, Michael."
Filmmaker Roland Palencia also paid tribute to the late star on social media, writing: "Michael Kearns was a friend, mentor, neighbor, and my movie buddy…Some of his last words continue to reverberate in my mind: 'I don't know if I want to do this anymore,' as he had been in and out of emergency rooms over five times within a three-month period."

Brian Austin Green "humiliated" Sharna Burgess by complaining about her DWTS schedule, Kaitlyn Bristowe claims.
The 90210 actor has been talking about how "incredibly lonely" he is as she competes on the show.
"Maybe go to your therapist and not social media and shame your [fiancée] while she's working her **** off," said Bristowe.
Some things are best kept off social media, says Kaitlyn Bristowe.
The former Bachelorette called out Brian Austin Green for posting a handful of TMI videos complaining about how "incredibly lonely" he is now that his fiancée Sharna Burgess has returned to Dancing With the Stars after taking five years off to raise their son. In one Instagram post filmed outside of a mall, the father of four bemoaned seeing a movie "by myself" to cap off an already bad week.

Michael Douglas was thousands of miles away from Catherine Zeta-Jones when they first started dating, but apparently, another famous man was finding reasons to spend time with the actress.

In his new memoir, One ***** of a Ride, Douglas recalls that Kobe Bryant, who lived above Zeta-Jones' home in Pacific Palisades, California, kept stopping by while the couple was trying to make their long-distance relationship work.
"Apparently Kobe kept finding excuses to stop by Catherine's house. I'm not sure how many times he 'lost his dog,' but it was a lot!" Douglas wrote.

When it comes to relationships, Kaitlyn Bristowe apparently feels compelled to weigh in.
The Bachelor Nation alum — who appeared on both The Bachelor and The Bachelorette — shared her thoughts on a recent Instagram video posted by Brian Austin Green in which he talked about going to the movies alone. Though he didn't mention fiancée Sharna Burgess, she has recently been busy with Dancing With the Stars.
"He's going to probably unfollow me and not like this," Bristowe, 41, began, adding that she doesn't intend "to kick him while he's down."
However, the former DWTS winner said on the Tuesday, October 6, episode of her Off the Vine with Kaitlyn Bristowe podcast that she felt the Beverly Hills, 90210 alum's recent post may have been a little TMI.
"Brian Austin Green recently came out on his social media talking about how he went to a movie alone," she began. "He's like, 'I went to a movie alone, and I'm just going through a lot.' And he was saying how hard it is that Sharna's not there with him every day."

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce's plans for a more private Ohio retreat have run into some very public objections. Neighbors of the $5.35 million Lake Erie estate are challenging proposed landscaping and fencing, raising concerns about a shared sewer line, wildlife, and how the changes could affect their longtime homes.
A six-foot fence has already received approval, but parts of the landscaping remain unresolved. The property's representatives, meanwhile, say they have adjusted the plans, paid for sewer repairs and added gates to accommodate residents.

According to the Daily Mail, the dispute centers on an estate in Bratenahl, a village outside Cleveland. Property records cited by the outlet show that an LLC linked to Kelce purchased the mansion in March. The 21,000-square-foot property features eight bedrooms, 11 bathrooms, and a two-bedroom guest cottage. Built in 1895, it also has a former ballroom converted into a game room and home theater.
But proposed changes to the grounds have become a sticking point with nearby residents. Katherine Bolton, who has lived next door for 35 years, described news of the new owners as a "tremendous blow" to "the peace and quiet in Bratenahl."

Just four months before the second anniversary of Paquita la del Barrio's death, tragedy has struck her family once again. On Wednesday, it was confirmed that Martha Elena Martínez Viveros passed away at the age of 47, the singer's adopted daughter. The news has caused a deep stir in the entertainment world and among the beloved artist's fans.
The confirmation of her passing came through Paquita la del Barrio's official account. "Today, mother and daughter are reunited in heaven," reads a memorial note full of memories and respect. "There are goodbyes that hurt deeply and words that will never be enough to express the emptiness left by the loss of a loved one. With profound sadness, we say goodbye to Martha Elena Martínez Viveros, daughter of our dear Paquita la del Barrio," it continues.

According to local reports, Paquito, the singer's former manager, shared details of what happened: "She was fine, and from one moment to the next she was gone, at such a young age," he said, explaining that it was due to cardiac arrest, something shocking, as he was not aware of any health issues. In recent days, Martha had traveled to Peru with her granddaughters, where she enjoyed a wonderful family trip. Martha Elena was found dead in Veracruz, where the local government of Alto Lucero posted a tribute in her honor, offering condolences to the Martínez Viveros family and recognizing the profound mark that the singer and her daughter left on the community.

Meghan Markle turned heads in London when she met up with ***** el Peace Prize laureate Malala Yousafzai. But it was the jaw-dropping price tag that got everyone talking.
Meghan, 45, was photographed embracing Malala, 29, outside London's luxury hotel Claridge's on Wednesday, October 7, before the pair went their separate ways.
In photos published by the Daily Mail, the ***** ss of Sussex wore $2,247 white satin Masina trousers by Ralph Lauren, an $832 pale beige cashmere sweater by Los Angeles-based label CO and a light brown $2,240 Tove Studio coat. Her black Chanel purse was valued at more than $9,000, while her Saint Laurent ivory-and-tan "Chris" flats retailed for $1,050.
That brings the estimated value of her clothing and bag to over $15,000. She finished the look with a Logan Hollowell Lovers Duet Diamond and Emerald Chain necklace, valued at an estimated $21,415. Altogether, the ensemble reportedly came to roughly $37,000.
The figure didn't sit well with some online commenters.

Sean "Diddy" Combs' projected prison release has moved back 41 days, reversing recent changes that had brought his expected release closer.
Bureau of Prisons records reviewed by PEOPLE on Oct. 7 list March 2, 2028. Combs is currently held at FCI Fort Dix, a low-security federal prison in New Jersey.
The previous projection, Jan. 21, 2028, appeared in records reviewed Sept. 29 and reported by Wealth of Geeks the following day.
The BOP declined to explain the revision, citing privacy, safety and security. A spokesperson for Combs told Us Weekly that his team receives no explanation of how the agency adjusts his dates.
In a Sept. 29 investigation, NBC News reporters Rich Schapiro and Chloe Melas interviewed four men who had spent time in Combs' housing unit. The outlet also reviewed prison photographs and video, including footage appearing to show him using a contraband cellphone.

Pfizer (NYSE: PFE) is offering a dividend yield of roughly 6% today. That is well above the roughly 1% yield on offer from the S&P 500 index (SNPINDEX: ^GSPC) and the 1.4% average yield of pharmaceutical stocks. There are good reasons for the negative view of Pfizer, but investors may be ignoring the company's over 100-year history of success. Here's why you may want to consider buying this out-of-favor dividend stock while others are fearful.
Pfizer's stock rocketed higher during the coronavirus pandemic, as investors myopically focused on the company's COVID vaccine. When COVID turned out to be a less serious long-term threat than originally believed, Wall Street dumped Pfizer. At this point, the stock is down more than 50% from its 2021 high. That is a big part of the story behind the high yield.
Missed Nvidia in 2009? This Rare Signal Is Flashing Again. In 2009, a "Double Down" signal flashed for a little-known chipmaker called Nvidia. For the first time in years, that same "Total Conviction" signal is flashing for a company 1/100th the size of Nvidia. Continue »
However, there's another piece that is more fundamental to the pharmaceutical industry. Like all drug makers, Pfizer's drugs receive time-limited patent protections. When patents expire, generic versions of the medications can be produced. That generally leads to a dramatic decline in revenue from Pfizer's drugs. Right now, Pfizer is facing down some notable patent expirations. This is a completely normal dynamic in the pharmaceutical sector.
Patent expirations are why drug companies are always on the lookout for new drugs. The problem is that patent expirations follow a set schedule, but drug development does not. Pfizer's drug pipeline isn't producing major new drugs right now, and it looks like it may have to work through a period in which new drugs won't fully offset revenue lost to patent expirations. This isn't uncommon, either, but investors are likely focusing on the short term rather than the long term when it comes to Pfizer.

This has been a history-packed year for Wall Street. The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJINDICES:^DJI), S&P 500 (SNPINDEX:^GSPC), and Nasdaq Composite (NASDAQINDEX:^IXIC) have all catapulted to several new highs, and Fed Chair Kevin Warsh was sworn in as only the 17th head of the Fed on May 22.
But the most game-changing event of them all might be Warsh and the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) kicking off only the fourth interest rate-hiking cycle of the 21st century on Sept. 16. Fed Chair Warsh and 11 other FOMC colleagues voted unanimously (12-0) to raise the federal funds target rate by 25 basis points to 3.75%-4.00%.

A royal expert has claimed that Meghan Markle "worships herself" and would never apologize to Prince William and Kate Middleton. The comments come amid renewed scrutiny of the ****** ss of Sussex's relationship with the royal family, particularly following the explosive claims she made during her infamous interview with Oprah Winfrey in 2021 alongside Prince Harry.
During the October 7 episode of Royal Exclusive, Matt Wilkinson referenced a Daily Express report headlined "MEGHAN WANTS TO APOLOGISE FOR 'LOW BLOW' COMMENT." When asked whether there was any possibility of Meghan Markle apologizing to the Prince and Princess of Wales, commentator and royal expert Kinsey Schofield claimed that the former actress would never do so.
"This is a BS headline and I think sometimes we just need to, again, use common sense," Schofield said. "What is their pattern of behavior? And their pattern of behavior is never taking any accountability whatsoever. Megan worships at the altar of Megan. There's no way that she has any desire to apologize to Prince William and the Princess of Wales."
She went on to say that she believes Charlotte Griffith's reporting more than the Daily Express's report. "If you believe Charlotte Griffith's reporting that Prince Harry came back with a bit of a chip on his shoulder and still insists that he is the one that is owed apologies," she said.
She added, "I very much believe that headline much more than I believe that Harry and Meghan have had some sort of come-to-Jesus over what was it, their fish and chips at the local pub, and have decided to apologize to the Prince and Princess of Wales."

The United States military has had 81 aircraft destroyed or damaged in the war with Iran, a Congressional Research Service report released this week says.
The number includes both airplanes and helicopters as well as drones, with the MQ-9 Reaper drone – used for intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance, close air support and combat search and rescue – accounting for more than half of the losses.
But also on the list are some of the Pentagon’s most-prized ***** ets, including an F-35A fighter jet and an E-3 Sentry, the four-engine jet with a large radar dome atop the fuselage used for target tracking and airspace management.
The total cost of the aircraft lost is between $1.9 billion and $3.3 billion, depending on the Defense Department’s plans for replacements, the report said, citing figures from the Congressional Budget Office.
The total cost of the war is much higher – at least $45 billion, sources have told CNN. That figure doesn’t include damage to infrastructure at US bases in the region, including those where some of the aircraft losses happened.

The Defense secretary praised the ship's crew for its resilience and dedication.
The USS Abraham Lincoln carrier strike group will return to its homeport of San Diego on Thursday, concluding a 10-month deployment to the Middle East where it played a key role in the war with Iran and set a new record of 265 days in between ports of call.
In all, the ship will have spent 321 days on deployment, the second-longest since the end of the Cold War. The longest deployment was set earlier this year when the carrier USS Gerald R. Ford returned from a 326-day deployment to Europe, the Caribbean and the Middle East.
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth visited the Lincoln on Wednesday ahead of its return home and praised the ship's crew for its resilience and dedication during the lengthy deployment.
Hegseth told sailors gathered on the carrier's flight deck that he had extended their deployment twice -- in recent years typical carrier strike deployments have lasted seven months.
