A bright future full of promise was cut short when a devastating crash claimed the life of a teenage girl, leaving her community in shock and mourning.

Kadance Fredericksen, the reigning Miss Teen USA and a high school senior from Baker, Florida, has tragically passed away at 18. She was killed in a head-on collision with a tractor-trailer in Santa Rosa County on Monday afternoon (February 17, 2025).

According to the Florida Highway Patrol, the crash occurred at approximately 1:30 p.m. in the Munson area on Highway 4 at Hurricane Lake Road.

Fredericksen’s vehicle collided with a tractor-trailer driven by a 56-year-old man from Milton, who sustained minor injuries. Authorities confirmed that Highway 4 at Hurricane Lake Road was temporarily shut down following the accident.

Officials advised motorists to seek alternate routes while the Florida Highway Patrol conducted its investigation. There is no estimated timeline for when the road will fully reopen.

Fredericksen, a student at Baker School, was set to graduate soon. Just a week before the tragic accident, she shared on Instagram that she had received a scholarship.

In her February 7 post, she expressed gratitude for the opportunity, writing, “I am incredibly grateful to be selected as a recipient of this year’s Ellison McCraney Ingram Foundation $40,000 Scholarship. This generous support will help shape my future and bring me one step closer to achieving my dreams.”

Beyond her achievements in pageantry, Fredericksen dedicated her life to helping children in need. During an interview in April 2024, she shared the mission behind her initiative.

“‘Kada’s Promise’ is my organization I started in 2017 to deliver teddy bears and blankets to children who are abused, neglected, or homeless, to be able to provide them that comfort and support that they need and deserve,” expressed Fredericksen.

Fredericksen’s commitment to this cause was deeply personal. She revealed that she, too, had suffered from abuse and neglect at the hands of her biological mother and stepfather.

“When I was little, I was abused and neglected by my biological mother and stepfather. During those times, the only thing I had to call my own was a stuffed animal I received as a gift years beforehand,” she said. “Now that I’m in a safe home with a safe family, I learned I wasn’t the only kid that went through that.”

Her organization’s website details her journey, explaining how she endured hunger, homelessness, and grooming as a young child.

Her biological father and stepmother later gained custody, providing her with a loving and stable home. In 2017, her stepmother formally adopted her, and she joined her older sister and baby brother, finally feeling safe and valued.

Fredericksen believed that small acts of kindness could make a difference in a child’s life. She explained the significance of teddy bears, saying, “To me, a teddy bear means a friend that is always there no matter what. It symbolizes security, comfort, and hope.”

Her efforts through “Kada’s Promise” had a global reach. By 2024, she had distributed more than 12,000 teddy bears and blankets to children facing trauma.

In honor of Child Abuse Prevention Month, she teamed up with Miss World Wide International, Kirsten Regalado, to send 300 teddy bears to the Philippines.

Her dedication to service extended beyond her nonprofit. In 2024 alone, she logged 210 hours of volunteer work. Her commitment was widely recognized, and in 2019–2020, her hometown of Crestview awarded her the title of Citizen of the Year for her outstanding contributions to the community.

Fredericksen’s passing has left a deep void in the hearts of those who knew and loved her. As news of her tragic death spread, tributes poured in from her school, pageant community, and family, all honoring the remarkable young woman she was.

Baker School, where Fredericksen was a senior, expressed their grief in a heartfelt Facebook post on February 18, 2025.

“It is with profound sadness that we mourn the tragic loss of Kadance Fredericksen, an exceptional young woman, senior at Baker School, and founder of ‘Kada’s Promise,'” Principal Michael J. Martello wrote.

The post highlighted her impact on the community, calling her a “beacon of light” known for her kindness and tireless advocacy for children in need.

The school acknowledged the emotional toll of her passing and assured students and staff that counseling services would be available to support them during this difficult time.

The Miss Florida USA pageant organization also paid tribute to her in an Instagram post, calling her “a true light in this world.”

They described her as “ambitious, driven, kind, and a leader among her pageant sisters.” The post encouraged the community to cherish each day and honor Fredericksen’s memory by continuing to spread the warmth and positivity she embodied.

“Forever our Queen,” the message concluded, alongside a dove and prayer emoji.

Her family also shared their heartbreak, revealing to News 5 that Fredericksen had recently been accepted to nine colleges and dreamt of becoming a veterinarian.

They described her as “absolutely perfect” and someone with “the whole world at the palm of her hands.”

Her untimely passing has left her community in mourning. As investigations continue, family, friends, and supporters remember Fredericksen for her achievements, ambitions, and the bright future ahead of her.

Eagle-eyed netizens spotted a surprising detail in President Donald Trump’s redecoration of the Oval Office. A framed newspaper cover featuring his Georgia mugshot has sparked criticism and debate online.

During a recent gathering between President Trump and other politicians, an image on a wall outside the White House’s Oval Office caught public attention. The framed newspaper photo left some netizens in shock.

According to the New York Post, the image — a mugshot of Trump — appeared on the publication’s front page. The 47th president has faced legal troubles, which led to the infamous booking photo, yet he appeared unfazed by its display.

The publication speculated that Trump might view the mugshot as a source of motivation as he embarks on his second term. The image is displayed in the office of his secretaries, located between the Oval Office and the Cabinet Room.

It hangs in an area frequently used as an entrance for guests. The sight of the mugshot drew strong reactions from netizens, including one who approved of the display, writing, “Oh yeah love it. This should be on a stamp 👏👏.”

Sharing the same sentiment, another person added, “Now that’s having a good sense of humor!! 👏😂.” Meanwhile, an Instagram user described the move as “Epic!!!!! 😂😂.” However, not everyone was impressed. A Facebook user commented, “I wouldn’t want that on display.”

Others were more critical, including one who remarked, “Omg. We live in a time in which we are proud of the things we should be ashamed of.” An unimpressed observer stated, “I would expect nothing less from him,” while another, confused by the choice, asked, “But why?”

Dan Scavino, Assistant to the President and White House Deputy Chief of Staff, shared a video showcasing the mugshot on Valentine’s Day. His footage provided viewers with a look at the Oval Office under Trump, captioned, “WELCOME TO THE BEAUTIFUL OVAL OFFICE.”

The handout photo, initially seen on February 14, 2025, in Washington, D.C., was provided by the Fulton County Sheriff’s Office. Trump’s mugshot was originally taken on August 24, 2023, at the Fulton County Jail in Atlanta, Georgia, during his booking.

The day after the image was taken, the president defiantly shared the mugshot alongside a link to his website. In April 2023, he appeared in court to face a 34-count felony indictment. The charges were partially related to his involvement in a scheme to suppress allegations of extramarital affairs that surfaced during his first White House campaign.

Trump is the first former US president to face criminal charges. In early January 2025, he was sentenced to no punishment in his hush-money case, allowing him to return to the White House without concern for jail time or fines.

After his January 20 inauguration, Trump began his second term by revamping the Oval Office. Among the most notable additions was the return of his famous Diet Coke button. The button allows him to summon his favorite beverage with a single press.

He also changed the décor, adding tributes to several historic figures. These included a bust of Winston Churchill, an Andrew Jackson vase, and even a portrait of himself. His family is also prominently displayed in the office.

Behind his chair sits a collection of challenge coins representing various states and agencies. A January 21, 2025, TikTok video showcasing the Oval Office updates quickly gained attention from netizens.

One user reacted to the clip, writing, “Oh Wow [sic],” while another commented, “Beautiful office!!” A third added, “Fun stuff. Love these little details.”

Ahead of his inauguration, on January 15, 2025, Trump received a symbolic gesture.

Fox Business and a post on X by Margo Martin, Trump’s Deputy Communications Chief, showed James Quincey, CEO of The Coca-Cola Company, presenting the president with a commemorative Diet Coke bottle.

The Coca-Cola Company has a longstanding tradition of creating special bottles for presidential inaugurations, a practice that has continued for the past 20 years.

A survivor of the 1999 Columbine High School shooting has died, her former principal announced.

Former Columbine High School principal Frank DeAngelis confirmed that Anne Marie Hochhalter passed away on Sunday, February 16. Anne Marie was 43.

“My Columbine Rebel Family. It is with great sadness and sorrow that I share with you that Anne Marie Hochhalter passed away … of natural causes,” Frank said in a statement to Fox News.

Anne Marie was one of 23 people injured in the April 20, 1999, attack at Columbine High School. She was shot in the back and chest while eating lunch with friends in the cafeteria. The shooting, carried out by twelfth graders Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold, left 12 students and a teacher dead before the gunmen took their own lives.

Despite her injuries, Anne Marie remained active in her community and was admired for her resilience. Frank described her as a “pillar of strength.”

“She was an inspiration and exemplified never giving up,” Frank added. “Please keep her family in your thoughts and prayers. She will be missed but never forgotten. Rebels for Life. We love you Anne Marie Hochhalter.”

Funeral arrangements have not yet been announced.

Anne Marie’s passing comes after she publicly reflected on the 25th anniversary of the Columbine shooting. In an April 2024 Facebook post, she shared how this milestone had been her most healing yet.

“25 years have gone by but it doesn’t seem that long,” she wrote. Anne Marie, who struggled with PTSD, was unable to attend the 20th-anniversary ceremony in 2019 but was there for the 2024 vigil.

She described how, for the first time, she could focus on positive memories from her teenage years. “No bad memories have affected me this time. It’s like my heart has wanted to flood my mind with happiness instead of trauma,” she remarked.

She recalled moments before the shooting, such as playing basketball, watching music videos, and spending time with friends. At the vigil, Anne Marie felt connected to those lost in the tragedy, especially when the song “Over the Rainbow” played.

“I looked at the empty chairs and suddenly felt all of them sitting there, with smiles on their faces, wanting us to remember the good times. The happy memories,” she explained. “They would want us to remember and laugh at their silly goofy antics when they were alive, instead of focusing on how their lives sadly ended.”

In a 2004 interview with People, Anne Marie recounted the tragic moment at her school. She had just stepped outside for fresh air when she heard a popping noise behind her.

Moments later, she was struck by a bullet in the back, initially mistaking the pain for a paintball gun. A second bullet hit, tearing a critical vein. “I was bleeding to death,” she said. “It didn’t look bad on the outside, but inside it felt wrong.”

Quick medical intervention saved her life. The ambulance arrived just in time, and surgeons at the hospital, who had been prepared for an unrelated heart procedure, operated on her immediately. “If the ambulance had come two minutes later — even two minutes — I would have died,” she recalled.

Surviving the shooting was only part of her struggle. In October 1999, just six months after the attack, her mother, Carla Hochhalter, who had been battling bipolar disorder, died by suicide.

Anne Marie later reflected on both tragedies, drawing a parallel between her mother’s state of mind and that of the Columbine shooters. “I don’t think she knew what she was doing…which is kind of like Eric and Dylan — I don’t think they knew what they were doing,” she said.

Through the years, Anne Marie found support in her faith and meaningful relationships. One of those connections was with Sue Townsend, the stepmother of Columbine victim Lauren Townsend. Their bond provided comfort and healing. “When I look at Anne Marie…I feel Lauren smiling on me,” Sue recalled.

Anne Marie also made a public statement of forgiveness in February 2016, when Dylan’s mother, Susan Klebold, prepared to release a book and appear on the show “20/20.”

In a Facebook post, she expressed appreciation that Susan planned to donate the book’s proceeds to mental health causes, a subject that deeply resonated with her after her mother’s death.

She also recalled receiving a letter from Susan and her husband in 1999, in which they expressed deep sorrow over their son’s actions. “It was genuine and personal,” Anne Marie wrote, contrasting it with the brief, impersonal note Eric’s parents sent.

The Klebolds’ letter to Anne Marie expressed deep sorrow for their son’s actions. They acknowledged the immense pain she and her family had gone through and said they had been following her recovery. They were relieved to hear that she had been able to move to a rehabilitation facility.

Although they had never met, they recognized that the tragedy had forever connected their families. They ended by offering a heartfelt apology for Dylan’s role in the attack and the suffering it had caused her.

They also expressed their struggle to comprehend their son’s role in the tragedy. “It is still terribly difficult for us to believe that the son we knew could play a role in causing harm to you and others. The reality that he shared in the responsibility for this senseless tragedy is beyond our comprehension. We offer our love, support, and service as you and your family work to gain control over your lives,” the letter read.

Despite the pain she endured, she chose to let go of resentment. “I have no ill-will towards you. Just as I wouldn’t want to be judged by the sins of my family members, I hold you in that same regard,” Anne Marie said to Susan.

She ended her letter by emphasizing the importance of forgiveness, recalling a friend’s advice that bitterness only harms the person holding onto it. She concluded her post, “I have forgiven you and only wish you the best.”

Her story highlights the lasting impact of school shootings. Decades after Columbine, similar incidents continue, including the Antioch school shooting in January 2025, where students recounted their experiences.

The 21-year-old, estranged from her billionaire father, frequently posts videos online in which her hair becomes the center of attention.

Elon Musk’s daughter, Vivian Jenna Wilson, has stunning hair whose length and healthy shine constantly capture the attention of fans. Many are eager to learn her secrets, hoping to achieve the same gorgeous look themselves.

In one clip Wilson shared on Instagram on January 26, her hair cascades down to her lower back. Despite the dimly lit street, the video still highlights the natural shine of her blonde hair, which is full of volume and catches the eye effortlessly.

Such clips attract fan comments, praising the hair’s beauty, as one fan wrote, “The hair 🔥🔥🔥🔥.” Curious about her secret, someone asked, “How is it so healthy or look so healthy?! Teach me ur ways.”

Wilson’s hair also stole the spotlight in another post on Threads in November 2024. Her locks, flowing flawlessly to the side with a slight middle part, framed her face as she posed for stunning selfies.

She captioned the post, “Brb gonna go blind my enemies with my hair ✨,” sparking admiration from fans. One excited fan envisioned her future on-screen, “Honestly, your hair looks amazing. If you’re into acting, you could play Rapunzel or Aurora (both have your hair).”

Another admirer noted, “It is a literal crime you’re not starring in shampoo commercials.” Another fan declared, “Your hair is magnificent.” A third user enthused, “Gorgeous.”

In another recent TikTok clip, Wilson opened up about learning about her step-sibling through social media rather than from her family. However, instead of the conversation centering on her revelation, fans were once again captivated by her hair.

One person gushed, “Your hair 😍” Another fan admitted, “I’m so jealous of your hair length.” Lastly, another fan urged Wilson, “This is very off topic but pleaseeee make a video on how you take care of your hair it’s gorgeous and so healthy for that length [sic].”

Despite the flood of compliments about her stunning hair, Wilson has yet to reveal the secrets behind its impressive shine and volume. Fans continue to wonder how she maintains such healthy, long locks, eagerly waiting for her to share her haircare tips.

Beyond beauty discussions, Wilson has spoken about her strained relationship with her father. As a transgender woman, she has been open about their estrangement, with both addressing it publicly. In interviews and social media posts, Musk stated that she was “not a girl.”

“I lost my son, essentially,” Musk noted, adding that she was “dead, killed by the woke mind virus.” He also claimed he had been “tricked” into approving gender-affirming medical treatment for her at 16. Musk added that he was told Wilson might commit suicide.

Wilson, however, refuted his claims, describing him as an absent father who was unkind to her for being queer and feminine. She asserted that Elon Musk was fully aware of his decision when consenting to her treatment, even if he hesitated initially.

Wilson recalled that in 2020 when she was 16, she sought treatment for severe gender dysphoria but needed parental consent under California law. While her mother was supportive, she said Musk was initially resistant.

She spent months messaging him about it, but he insisted they discuss it in person. By then, she believed their relationship was already strained. When she finally met with him and presented the medical forms, she said he reviewed them multiple times, once in her presence and again privately, before signing.

She emphasized that he was fully aware of the treatment’s effects and was not misled in any way. Wilson started with puberty blockers before transitioning to hormone replacement therapy, describing the treatments as essential for her well-being and many other transgender individuals.

She expressed concern that access to such care often requires individuals to present themselves as being in extreme distress to gain approval. She felt that Musk unfairly judged her situation based on his risk perception. The expectation to prove the severity of her struggle, she said, felt deeply unsettling.

Furthermore, according to her, Musk’s remarks on her have gone too far, prompting her to speak up. “I think he was under the assumption that I wasn’t going to say anything and I would just let this go unchallenged, which I’m not going to do, because if you’re going to lie about me, like, blatantly to an audience of millions, I’m not just gonna let that slide,” she declared.

Wilson and her twin brother, Griffin Musk, were born to Musk’s first wife, author Justine Musk. Following their parents’ divorce in 2008, they split their time between homes in the Los Angeles area under shared custody.

However, Wilson recalled that Musk had been largely absent from her life, leaving her and her siblings in the care of their mother or nannies despite the custody arrangement. From an early age, she felt unsupported by her father, describing him as cold, quick-tempered, “uncaring and narcissistic.”

She recounted an instance during a childhood road trip, which she later realized was more of a promotional event for one of his cars. Throughout the journey, she said he frequently lashed out at her, particularly over the pitch of her voice, making her feel berated and humiliated.

Wilson also claimed that Musk pressured her to suppress her femininity, discouraging her from expressing traits he deemed too soft or delicate. Even in elementary school, she said, he urged her to deepen her voice to make her appear more masculine.

Musk hit back, claiming that Wilson was “born gay and slightly autistic.” He added that as a child, she exhibited certain stereotypes, such as a love for musicals and an enthusiastic use of the word “fabulous!” when describing clothing.

However, Wilson refuted these anecdotes, saying they were inaccurate, though she acknowledged that she displayed other traditionally feminine traits during her childhood. She also criticized her father’s portrayal of her early years.

Wilson stated that he had little knowledge of what she was like as a child because he was largely absent from her life. The limited time he was around, she said, was marked by relentless harassment over her femininity and queerness.

“He was there, I want to say, maybe 10% of the time. That’s generous. He had half custody, and he fully was not there. It was just a fact of life at the time, so I don’t think I realized just how abnormal of an experience it was,” she opened up.

Wilson also expressed frustration at being reduced to a simplistic stereotype, suggesting that Musk’s comments reflected his broader views on queer individuals and children.

She described experiencing two coming-out moments in her life, first as gay in eighth grade and later as transgender at 16. Still, Wilson did not remember Musk’s reaction to her initial coming out, and by the time he learned about her gender identity, she was no longer in his household.

The pandemic had begun, and she was living exclusively with her mother, whom she credited for being a strong source of support. “I love her a lot,” she gushed.

In recent years, Musk has aligned himself with conservative politics, actively opposing policies that support transgender individuals. He announced plans to withdraw his businesses from California in response to a state law preventing schools from forcing transgender students to disclose their identities to their parents.

On X, he has repeatedly criticized transgender rights, including medical treatments for minors and the use of pronouns that differ from those assigned at birth. He has also amplified anti-trans rhetoric and supported criminalizing healthcare providers who offer gender-affirming care to minors.

Following his acquisition of X, formerly Twitter, in 2022, he removed protections for transgender users, including a policy against deadnaming. Deadnaming is the act of calling a transgender person by an incorrect name. The name could have been given at birth or one they no longer use.

In light of this, Wilson, now a college student pursuing language studies, has chosen to distance herself from him. In 2022, she legally petitioned to change her name in California, formally severing ties with her father.

The court filing read, “I no longer live with or wish to be related to my biological father in any way, shape or form.” Wilson now emphasizes that she is an adult, whose life should be defined by her own choices and not her father’s.

Netizens were pleasantly surprised to see Nicholson make a rare public appearance during “SNL50,” as the beloved star has kept away from the spotlight for some time.

On February 16, 2025, some of Hollywood’s biggest stars stepped out in style to attend “SNL50: The Anniversary Special” in New York. Seated among them in the audience was legendary actor Jack Nicholson, 87, who garnered widescale attention online for his appearance. Many social media users marveled at how long it’s been since they have seen him in public.

“The Shining” star exuded an effortlessly cool vibe as he sat in his seat, dressed in a sleek all-black ensemble that commanded attention.

Sporting a New York Yankees beret, Nicholson completed his signature look with dark, tinted sunglasses and a neatly groomed salt-and-pepper beard. The Academy Award winner radiated a laid-back charisma, smiling as he enjoyed the star-studded celebration of “Saturday Night Live’s” five-decade legacy.

Not only was he there to enjoy the show, but Nicholson also had the pleasure of introducing fellow industry heavy hitter Adam Sandler’s musical tribute.

“Ladies and gentlemen, Adam Sandler,” announced the film icon, which was met by applause from the crowd and Sandler, who shouted, “Let’s hear it for Jack baby! Jack made it out tonight! Love you, brother.”

The “Grown Ups” actor then began strumming his guitar and singing. He sang a comedic song about the history of “Saturday Night Live” (“SNL”) filled with humorous anecdotes from stars who have been a part of the popular sketch comedy’s story.

“Everyone in this room has something in common. All of our lives were changed by this show. Everyone in this room has something else in common. None of us were allowed to use the little bathroom in Lauren’s office,” sang Sandler.

His entire performance revealed many more memorable occurrences that have happened throughout “SNL’s” 50 seasons.

Upon seeing Jack Nicholson at the event, social media users flocked to comment sections to express themselves. “Was legit shocked. He looks way better than I thought,” asserted a Reddit user, while another chimed in with, “My jaw dropped! Like…that’s gotta be the first public appearance he’s made in years right?”

Someone else praised, “Good for him. He didn’t look like he was doing well a few years ago and now he looks like he hit the rewind button on age.”

A fellow supporter echoed a similar sentiment, “How glad I am to see him looking healthy! Been trying to check him out in google [sic] once in a while just to make sure he’s alive! Love him!!!!” More comments like this one ensued, with yet another person opining, “Jack looks pretty solid wow.”

“I was happy (and surprised) to see him! Then I looked up how old he is and it became even more special,” added someone else, while an admirer noted, “Jack looks awesome 🙌🏼.” Another fan expressed, “Nice to see Jack Nicholson looking healthy and with-it [sic] in the audience #SNL50.”

As many online viewers pointed out and alluded to, the “As Good as It Gets” talent’s appearance at “SNL50: The Anniversary Special” was particularly noteworthy because it has been quite some time since he stepped into the spotlight.

Brando sold the property to Nicholson for $5 million in a deal completed in 2005. The outside of the home has been captured in viral photos that show the property’s perimeter and sprawling balcony and patio. However, since Nicholson steers clear of social media, very little is known about how the inside of the house looks.

Since his 2021 sighting at a Lakers game, Nicholson was spotted peering out on the balcony of his mansion. In April 2023, the actor was snapped by paparazzi while enjoying some morning air on his balcony. Images show him with messy hair and dressed in a baggy orange T-shirt and blue sweatpants as he sat on a chair looking out toward the sky.

An unnamed close friend of Nicholson’s was worried about his friend never leaving his house. The close source pleaded with Nicholson to at least “pop out” of his home from time to time to reassure his friends and family that he was doing ok.

According to the Daily Mail, the film star would sleep until 1 p.m. and drink milk to “soothe his stomach.” Nicholson also spent his days playing golf and tending to his art collection, which stayed on a property next to his house. At the time of the reports, the “Ironweed” actor remained stationed at his sprawling Mulholland Drive mansion, which he has had since the 70s.

The house boasts four bedrooms, three bathrooms, and a pool. Nicholson’s family had repeatedly been attempting to get him to sell his mansion, where he lived alone. The desire had been to get Nicholson to downsize and move to a “more manageable place in Beverly Hills.”

Aside from discussing his secluded life back in 2023, reports had also indicated that Nicholson had allegedly been suffering from dementia. Friends of the Hollywood icon had expressed concern over his reclusive nature, stating they are worried about his deteriorating health.

Sources close to Nicholson had said he did not want to “face reality” concerning his rapidly declining health. “Jack and I have been friends for years, and he doesn’t leave his house anymore. I think his son and daughter are looking after him now. The Mulholland Drive community is pretty close-knit, and they are all worried about him,” voiced a source at the time.

Another close family friend of Nicholson’s confirmed the star’s youngest son to be his father’s close confidant and dependent.

“Jack’s in touch with certain relatives – especially Ray, his protégé, who he’s so proud of – but his socializing days are long gone. It’s really sad to see such a super-talented actor like Jack go out this way,” divulged the source at the time.

In January 2023, conservative commentator and journalist Bill O’Reilly weighed in on Nicholson’s dementia speculation. In a since-deleted message penned on X, O’Reilly had falsified the claims about Nicholson’s alleged diagnosis, saying that the assertions were nonsense. O’Reilly went even further to vilify the Daily Mail, calling them the worst tabloid.

Nicholson had neither confirmed nor denied the reports that came out about him concerning his health. However, years after they came out, the actor seemingly proved them wrong with his recent appearance on “SNL50,” where he looked sharp and dazzled the crowd and online viewers with his enigmatic energy and charisma.
