A beloved actor known for his role as Iván in the Netflix Spanish-language drama Toy Boy, has tragically passed away at the age of 37.

A funeral service was held in Spain the day after his passing, attended by family, friends, and colleagues from the entertainment industry.

José de la Torre had previously opened up about his health struggles in June, revealing that he had been diagnosed with what he described as a ‘serious illness,’ Variety reports.

The diagnosis led him to step away from his acting career earlier this year to focus on receiving treatment.

De la Torre rose to prominence as part of the cast of Toy Boy, a gripping drama that debuted on Netflix in 2019 and spanned three seasons, concluding in 2021.

The series followed the story of Hugo Beltrán, portrayed by Jesús Mosquera, a male stripper on a quest to clear his name after being wrongfully imprisoned for a crime he did not commit.

De la Torre’s portrayal of Iván, one of Hugo’s close allies, earned him acclaim and recognition among international audiences.

The show’s ensemble cast also included Cristina Castaño, María Pedraza, Carlo Costanzia, and Raudel Raúl Martiato, who helped bring the intense and emotional series to life.

Beyond Toy Boy, de la Torre’s acting career was marked by notable performances in several popular Spanish television productions.

Among his most significant roles was a recurring part in the long-running soap opera Amar es para siempre (To Love Forever), where he appeared in 36 episodes.

Set in the 1960s, the series explored the social and economic revival of Spain’s working class through the lens of a family-owned tavern.

De la Torre’s work in the show cemented his reputation as a versatile and talented actor.

His other television credits included appearances in Vis a Vis: El Oasis and Serve and Protect, where his performances left lasting impressions on viewers and critics alike.

Known for his dedication to his craft and his warm personality, de la Torre garnered a loyal fan base throughout his career.

The news of his untimely death has left fans and colleagues heartbroken.

Tributes have poured in on social media, celebrating his contributions to the entertainment industry and expressing condolences to his family.

De la Torre is survived by his father, Antonio de la Torre Hidalgo, his mother, Maria Jose Delgado Espejo, and his sister, Marina.

The family has requested privacy as they grieve their loss.

While the specific illness that claimed his life remains undisclosed, de la Torre’s courage in facing his health challenges and his lasting impact on the screen will ensure he is remembered fondly by audiences around the world.

Reese Witherspoon recently took the internet by storm after sharing a new photo with her 25-year-old daughter, Ava Phillippe.

Ava, who inherited her mother’s trademark blonde hair, striking blue eyes, and radiant smile, looks so much like Witherspoon that fans struggled to tell who was who in the photo, sparking a wave of comments and reactions online.

 

The mother-daughter duo sit side by side, smiling brightly in the now-viral photo, which highlighted their nearly identical facial features.

Witherspoon captioned the snap: “Happy Birthday to my amazing daughter @avaphillippe who happens to be one of the most genuinely kind-hearted and wise people I know. I love you with all my heart Keep shining your beautiful light, my sweet girl!”

With their matching blonde waves, elegant bone structure, and expressive eyes, they appeared almost like twins rather than a mother and daughter with a 23-year age gap.

Fans took to the comments section in awe, with messages like ‘You two could be sisters!’ and ‘Which one’s Reese?’

Several fans even joked that Witherspoon must have cloned herself, given how hard it was to distinguish between the two.

This isn’t the first time Witherspoon and Phillippe’s resemblance has captivated fans.

Over the years, Witherspoon has shared numerous photos with her daughter on social media, often sparking similar ‘twinning’ reactions.

Many fans have pointed out that as Ava grows older, her resemblance to her famous mother only becomes more striking.

Ava Phillippe, the daughter of Witherspoon and her former husband, actor Ryan Phillippe, has developed her own following on social media and is admired for her creativity and style.

She’s recently taken the internet by storm after opening up about her s**uality and remains an outspoken and confident individual.

Witherspoon has always been vocal about supporting her children and their journeys of self-discovery.

She told InStyle: “Ava is so down-to-earth. She wants to do great things in the world. Ava is trying to find herself and figure out her path in life.”

Ava agrees that her parents have always supported her.

She told E!’s Daily Pop: “My parents have always encouraged me to choose the path that’s right for me and, you know, guide me along the way to make better choices than I might make.

“I’m so grateful for that. That is such a privilege to have parents that support you in that way and want you to be who you truly are meant to be.”

Dominique Brown, a beloved Disney content creator and social media influencer known by the username HellooDomo, has tragically passed away at the age of 34.

Brown was widely recognized for her passion for Disney and her ability to connect with her audience through her engaging and cheerful online presence.

The incident took place during a Christmas party hosted by BoxLunch, a retailer known for its pop culture merchandise and themed events.

Brown was in attendance as part of the festivities, which were meant to celebrate the holiday season.

Witnesses reported that Brown seemed to be enjoying the event until she suddenly fell ill.

BoxLunch released an official statement addressing the tragedy.

“We are devastated by the passing of Dominique Brown, a beloved member of the BoxLunch Collective, who suffered a medical emergency at an event hosted by BoxLunch on Thursday in Los Angeles,” a representative for the company stated to People.

“Our hearts go out to her family and friends, and we will do everything we can to support them and the members of the BoxLunch Collective and our team during this painful time.”

The moments leading up to her death have left many deeply saddened and searching for answers.

Accounts from attendees describe how Brown began feeling unwell shortly after consuming food at the event.

One attendee, who shared her story online, revealed that Brown had concerns about the food she was eating and had asked whether it contained an ingredient to which she was allergic.

Assured that it did not, she ate but soon experienced distressing symptoms.

The same attendee alleged that when Brown requested to be taken to the hospital, her pleas were not immediately met with action.

Instead, some attendees reportedly prioritized taking photographs over helping her get urgent medical attention.

This account has sparked outrage among her followers and added to the grief surrounding her passing.

A reporter from People who was present at the event witnessed attempts to save Brown’s life.

The reporter recounted seeing CPR performed on her while 911 was promptly called.

Despite these efforts, the outcome was tragic, as Brown could not be revived.

It was later revealed that Brown had suffered a fatal allergic reaction.

The ingredient in question, peanuts, had triggered the severe reaction that ultimately led to her death.

This devastating loss serves as a reminder of the critical importance of vigilance when dealing with allergies.

Following backlash from the trial, the actress is said to have moved abroad and be living under a pseudonym.

Depp sued Heard for defamation over an op-ed she wrote for The Washington Post in 2018, in which she alleged to be a domestic abuse victim, though she did not mention the actor by name. Heard countersued her ex-husband.

On the last day of testimony, the Aquaman star delivered an emotional testimony in which she detailed the harassment she’s endured since her divorce from Depp.

Heard said (per the BBC): “I receive hundreds of death threats regularly if not daily. Thousands since this trial has started. People mocking, mocking my testimony about being assaulted.

“Every single day I have to relive the trauma.”

She added: “Perhaps it’s easy to forget, but I am a human being. As I stand here today, I can’t have a career. I can’t even have people associate with me because of the threats and the attacks that they will have to endure.”

Since the highly-publicized trial, Heard has only starred in two movies: In the Fire and Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom (both 2023).

In the Fire is an indie film that follows a doctor who travels to a remote plantation to care for a disturbed boy with unexplainable abilities.

The title has an underwhelming Rotten Tomatoes score of 15% and just 2.9/10 on IMDb.

In an interview with Deadline, Heard said she ‘relished’ working on the ‘passion project.’

She explained: “There’s a tonne of pressure on these big franchise movies, with millions and millions of dollars at stake, and compromises are part of trying to make it the most successful thing it can be.

“Then on the other end of the spectrum is a small indie film like In The Fire, a work of art and work of love, with nowhere near the same resources, and so there are compromises there. The best luck you can have as an actor is to be able to balance both.”

Heard’s role in the Aquaman sequel also made headlines as it’s estimated she only had around 20 minutes of screen time.

Business Insider said at the time of the movie’s release: “Devoid of any real depth, Heard’s entire existence in The Lost Kingdom feels purely contractural to fulfill her three-movie deal with Warner Bros.

“The majority of Heard’s screen time consists of silence as she awkwardly sits and stands pretty beside or behind Aquaman, seemingly biting her tongue.”

During the defamation trial, Heard claimed her role as Mera was significantly trimmed down in the aftermath of her divorce from Depp.

She alleged: “I was given a script and then given new versions of the script that had taken away scenes that had action in it, that depicted my character and another character, without giving any spoiler away, two characters fighting with one another, and they basically took a bunch out of my role. They just removed a bunch out.”

According to Heard’s IMDb page, the star has no upcoming film or TV projects on the horizon.

It’s left many fans wondering whether the actress will ever return to the big screen, with one writing: “I really hope Amber Heard will return.”

Another adds: “I hope Amber Heard gets her joy back, she deserves to.”

With Heard’s move abroad and reported name change, it’s unclear whether the actress intends to continue her Hollywood career.

A source told People magazine in April 2023: “The trial was beyond stressful, and she wanted to start afresh.”

Another film source claimed the actress ‘felt like a pariah’ following the trial’s outcome, leading her to retreat from the public eye.

Heard, who now lives in Madrid, Spain, is reportedly going by the name Martha Jane Cannary, referencing the legendary gunslinger Calamity Jane.

She is said to be focusing on being a mom to her daughter, Oonagh Paige, who was born in 2021. It’s also recently been revealed that’s she expecting again, and that she’s ‘delighted’ by the news.

The former Saturday Night Live star – who was recently rumoured to be dating model Emily Ratajkowski – is no stranger to comments about his downstairs region.

One of his most recent exes, Kim Kardashian, even admitted that he caught her interest when she ‘heard about this BDE (big d*** energy)’.

While his ex Grande has also made reference to it when the pair were dating.

During their romance, a fan reached out to Grande via Twitter and asked ‘How long is Pete?’.

The fan quickly clarified, adding: “OH AS IN THE INTERLUDE NOT AS IN… ANYWAY.”

Despite the follow-up, Grande cheekily responded: “Like 10 inches?…. oh f***… I mean a little over a minute.”

Although the ‘7 Rings’ singer quickly deleted the tweet, the rumour mill was already in full swing and ever since then, Davidson’s allegedly impressive manhood has been the subject of debate ever since.

Davidson’s former SNL co-star Jay Pharoah has also added fuel to the fire about Davidson’s … package.

While on SiriusXM’s The Jess Cagle Show, Pharoah brought up Davidson’s ‘endowment’ and left little to the imagination.

He said: “I praise Pete, I praise Pete.

“There’s something in the sauce. He got something, okay. He got something inside.”

He then added: “So, I talk to him, I said, ‘Pete, man, what is it?’. I said, ‘Could, what is it, what’d you do? What was it? How you do it?’.

“He told me what it was. It, it’s his endowment. He confirmed it. He was like, ‘Yeah bro, it’s like nine inches’. I was like, ‘What? Word. Oh, snap we twins. That’s crazy’.”

Speculation about Davidson’s size was a subject of Grande’s ‘Thank U, Next’ video, which featured a dream movie montage in which his manhood was once again given a shoutout.

In one scene in the video, Grande dresses up as Regina George from Mean Girls.

However, instead of her ‘burn book’ containing nasty comments about the ‘fugly’ girls in her class, as per the film, Grande’s was all about her exes.

On Davidson’s page, the word ‘HUUUUGE’ only further added to speculation that he’s doing pretty well down in the nether region.

According to Elle Magazine, Davidson made reference to this during a Boston show, saying: “Here’s the thing about the breakup song.

“Usually breakup songs you know who it’s about but you don’t really know.

“That G named all of us. Bam. She named all of us. And then, tells us, yeah, he has a big d***.”

Davidson reportedly addressed the gossip while performing in New York.

While most would have taken Grande’s comments as a compliment, Davidson was apparently less impressed.

He joked: “I don’t like that she talked all that s*** for my p**is. Everything is huge to her.

“Why would she tell everyone that I have a huge p**is? So that every girl who sees my d*** for the rest of my life is disappointed.”

After taking a break from the limelight, the 66-year-old comedian is back on TV screens with her new Netflix special, Ellen DeGeneres: For Your Approval.

She made headlines earlier this year when she claimed the comedy show marks the end of her Hollywood career.

DeGeneres told fans: “This is the last time you’re going to see me. After my Netflix special, I’m done.”

After hearing the talk show host’s sad health update in the special, fans have taken to social media and shared well wishes.

One fan writes: “Hope she gets better.”

“Hopefully she is getting the help she needs,” another adds. “Wishing her well.”

In 2020, everything changed for DeGeneres.

Two BuzzFeed exposés explored allegations of a toxic work culture, discrimination, and s**ual misconduct and harassment on the set of her once popular program, The Ellen DeGeneres Show.

Although the reports didn’t allege toxic behavior by DeGeneres herself, it led to the comedian facing a ton of criticism.

In 2022, she made the difficult decision to end her show following a decline in ratings and the fallout from the reports of a toxic work culture, reports The i.

In her new Netflix special, DeGeneres addresses this chapter of her life and how she sought therapy afterward.

The therapy uncovered the comedian has a mental health condition.

In her comedy special, she says: “I may have OCD because a therapist said so and I said, ‘Yes I am very organized,’ because I thought that was the O. I didn’t know what OCD was.”

DeGeneres explained that she was raised in a religion that ‘doesn’t acknowledge diseases or disorders’ so ‘nobody talked about anything’ like that when she was growing up.

According to the Mayo Clinic, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) ‘features patterns of unwanted thoughts and fears known as obsessions’ that can ‘lead people to do repetitive behaviors, also called compulsions.’

These obsessions and compulsions may affect the person’s daily activities and cause distress.

DeGeneres said upon reflection, she believes her father may also have suffered from the condition.

 

She recalls: “He would check the doorknob 15 times before we’d leave, he’d check the faucet 15 times. He would unplug all the appliances before we left the house because lightning could strike and it could catch fire.

“They say it could be hereditary.”

The comedian also revealed that she has been diagnosed with ADHD.

“I think I’m well-adjusted because I obsess on things, but I don’t have the attention span to stick with it, and I quickly forget what I was obsessing about in the first place,” she says in the special.

“So, it takes me all the way around to being well-adjusted, I think.”

Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (otherwise known as ADHD), is ‘a mental health condition that can cause unusual levels of hyperactivity and impulsive behaviors,’ per Healthline.

A person with this condition may struggle to focus on a single task or sit still for long periods.

Elsewhere in the Netflix special, DeGeneres also opened up about a condition she’s been diagnosed with that makes her feel like she ‘could disintegrate in the shower.’

The Finding Dory voice actor said she uncovered she’s suffering from osteoporosis after undergoing a bone density test.

“Osteoporosis causes bones to become weak and brittle – so brittle that a fall or even mild stresses such as bending over or coughing can cause a break. Osteoporosis-related breaks most commonly occur in the hip, wrist, or spine,” explains the Mayo Clinic.

“Bone is living tissue that is constantly being broken down and replaced. Osteoporosis occurs when the creation of new bone doesn’t keep up with the loss of old bone.”

Although there’s no cure for osteoporosis, the disease’s symptoms can be managed with medicines and lifestyle changes.

Opening up, DeGeneres says: “I don’t even know how I’m standing up right now. I’m like a human sandcastle. I could disintegrate in the shower.”

From his regular criticism of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle to his bold stances on societal matters, the former Good Morning Britain presenter is well known for riling people up with his controversial opinions.

He’s also had a few run-ins with vegans and on one occasion, the TV presenter raised a few eyebrows…

 

After watching the interview in question, people took to social media and reacted, with many praising Morgan.

One viewer wrote: “Oh wow, I used to dislike Piers Morgan but after this, my respect for him has reached stratospheric levels.”

Another added: “Piers, you got me laughing.”

A third person said: “I’m always 50/50 on love-hate for Piers but he’s hilarious here.”

“Piers destroyed this guy and even he knows it. The look on his face during the entire interview is absolutely great,” somebody else commented.

However, others weren’t so impressed with Morgan, with one person penning: “You are 60 years old – you should be embarrassed by that infantile display.”

In agreement, a second said: “Television content at its absolute worst. Have a word, Piers. How old are you, 12?”

The viral interview followed a series of demonstrations from Animal Rebellion, ‘a mass movement that uses nonviolent civil disobedience to bring about a transition to a just and sustainable plant-based food system.’

According to The Guardian, more than 100 of its members stopped the fresh milk supply in parts of England in September 2022.

The movement claimed to have emptied milk shelves in high-end grocery stores across the country, reports Metro.

A sole campaigner also targeted Salt Bae’s London eatery.

Debating the issue, Morgan invited Animal Rebellion spokesperson Nathan McGovern onto his Talk TV show Piers Morgan Uncensored.

The ex-GMB presenter began by telling McGovern: “I think you all look pretty pasty-faced and unhealthy to me.”

He continued: “What I don’t do is I don’t go running into vegan restaurants and start screaming abuse at you all and have to be pulled out by people because you’re ruining everyone’s fun.”

In response, McGovern said the host had begun the interview with an ‘absolute blinder,’ before explaining precision fermentation, which uses microorganisms to produce specific functional ingredients, per The Good Food Institute.

He claimed this process is capable of creating animal protein using a ‘fraction of the land’ and ‘carbon footprint.’

Morgan interjected this, stating: “But I like eating meat.”

McGovern was then questioned on what he eats, to which he said enjoys ‘seasonal British fruit and veg’ and ‘supporting British farmers.’

As the debate continued, Morgan told the Animal Rebellion member that ‘none of you make me want to change my mind,’ at which point a steak dinner was brought out for him to enjoy.

The host said: “Here’s my point, I love eating steak. I’m not going to stop eating steak. And the very last thing on earth that will stop me eating steak is people like you with your pasty faces running into our restaurants and telling us to stop eating steak.”

McGovern responded: “That is absolutely fine, Piers.”

Concluding the debate, Morgan told the activist: “If you want to win an argument, you just can’t be annoying all the time.”

With legendary conservationist Steve Irwin and equally passionate Terri Irwin as parents, Robert was destined to inherit his family’s profound love for nature and its creatures.

But now, the 20-year-old faces a serious backlash after a clip of him has circulated online.

From the very beginning, Robert’s life has been intertwined with wildlife.

He’s been surrounded by creatures great and small since childhood, having grown up at Australia Zoo.

Robert’s journey into the public eye also began early, with him appearing alongside his parents on various television shows.

Sadly, at the tender age of nine, Robert lost his father in a tragic accident.

Since his dad’s passing, Robert and his family have vowed to honor Steve’s legacy by continuing his mission of wildlife conservation.

The 20-year-old has become a prominent figure – he hosts wildlife documentaries and appears on talk shows to raise awareness about environmental issues.

But now, a ‘disturbing’ clip of Robert has caused the internet to turn on him.

 

Following a recent incident at the Irwin family’s Australia Zoo in Beerwah, Queensland, social media is abuzz with calls to ‘cancel’ Robert.

The conservationist appeared on Today alongside his mother to promote the zoo’s reopening and the fourth season of their docuseries Crikey! It’s the Irwins.

Footage of Robert with Casper, one of the zoo’s crocodiles, is shown.

It’s led some people to condemn the zoo’s practices and call for an end to wildlife captivity. Meanwhile, others have voiced concerns over the safety of such interactions, questioning the ethics behind putting humans and animals at risk for entertainment, as reported by Daily Mail.

One person writes: “Zoos should never exist, wild animals shouldn’t be held captive for the amusement of humans.”

Another viewer questions: “When will they learn? This is sad. For a show, was it worth it?”

“This is just wrong. Make Robert STOP!!!” fumes somebody else.

A fourth person comments: “He shouldn’t be allowed to do it.”

However, other commenters have come out in support of Robert, with one writing: “People need to chill out and leave this guy alone, do people realize the croc has gone through this routine hundreds of times and it’s not been a problem before?”

Another person remarks: “It’s funny how the internet says cancel but yet his zoo is still running, they still have a website to visit and I’m sure they still have videos on YouTube to watch. Sounds a lot like y’all trying to cancel, but failing.”

The footage that has sparked a backlash on social media shows Robert narrowly escaping a charging Casper.

A late actor requested for his dog to be put down and buried with him but his family denied the wish.

Alian Delon was a French actor, producer, screenwriter, singer, and businessman considered a cinematic leading man of the 20th century and an international s** symbol.

He died in August 2024 at age 88, with his family releasing a statement that read: “Alain Fabien, Anouchka, Anthony, and (his dog) Loubo are deeply saddened to announce the passing of their father. He passed away peacefully in his home in Douchy, surrounded by his three children and his family.”

While many took to social media and paid tribute to the legendary actor, others shared their disapproval of his final request.

Delon wished for his 10-year-old dog to be buried by his side.

The French actor was a devoted animal lover throughout life but had an especially strong bond with Loubo, his Belgian Malinois.

In a 2018 interview with Paper Match, he was quoted as saying (per the BBC): “I’ve had 50 dogs in my life, but I have a special relationship with this one.”

He added: “If I die before him, I’ll ask the vet to take us away together. He’ll put him to sleep in my arms.

“I would rather that than knowing that he would let himself die on my grave with so much suffering.”

No law in France prohibits pet owners from putting down their pets.

It’s believed at least 35 of Delon’s dogs have been buried in the chapel of his cemetery on the grounds of his home, La Brûlerie.

Following Delon’s death, animal welfare organizations were concerned at the prospect of the healthy animal being put down.

The SPA, a French association that fights against animal cruelty and abandoning, said it would be ‘happy to take his dog and find it a family.’

SPA President Guillaume Sanchez told The Associated Press: “Our phone lines were saturated.”

When the alarm about Loubo’s fate was raised, an official for the Brigitte Bardot Foundation – a prominent animal rights group – contacted Delon’s family.

The official said: “They said the question was not even raised, and they would let the dog live. They said he has a home in Douchy and will live there.”

They added that Delon was a longtime ‘friend of the foundation’ and had helped raise money for its cause.
