We have tragic news to report from the world of music today.
Tommy DeCarlo, the lead singer of the legendary rock band Boston, has passed away.
He was just 60 years old.

The singer — who joined Boston in 2007 following the death of the group’s original singer — had been battling brain cancer.
News of DeCarlo’s death comes courtesy of a Facebook post written by his children.
“It is with heavy hearts that we share the passing of our Dad, Tommy DeCarlo, on Monday, March 9th, 2026,” they wrote (via Page Six), adding:
“After being diagnosed with brain cancer last September, he fought with incredible strength and courage right up until the very end.
“During this difficult time, we kindly ask that friends and fans respect our family’s privacy as we grieve and support one another. Rest in peace, Dad.”
DeCarlo revealed that he had been diagnosed with brain cancer in September of 2025.
At the time, his loved ones documented his struggles on a GoFundMe page launched to help cover medical expenses.
“He amazed us by recovering from the surgery and beginning treatment, but before he could complete it, he had another brain bleed and was hospitalized from November 27th to December 27th,” they wrote.
Boston is one of the most successful bands in recent rock history, with hits like “More Than a Feeling”, “Peace of Mind”, “Foreplay/Long Time”, “Rock and Roll Band”, “Smokin’”, “Don’t Look Back”, “A Man I’ll Never Be”, “Hitch a Ride”, “Party”, “Amanda”, and “Feelin’ Satisfied”.
DeCarlo was selected as the band’s new frontman after singer Brad Delp died by suicide in 2007.
He recounted his experiences in a 2021 biographical audiobook titled Unlikely Rockstar — The Tommy DeCarlo Story.
Our thoughts go out to Tommy’s loved ones during this incredibly difficult time.
Visitors to Hollywood often like to dine at spots frequented by legendary icons from decades past. Word on the street is that John Wayne loved this steakhouse.

Even the most respected restaurants can shield disturbing truths. Top-rated (but now defunct) restaurant Noma, founded by René Redzepi, may be one such case.

Joe Burrow is a football player, specifically a quarterback.
The tweet somewhat shadily mentions that he recently broke up with his girlfriend, Olivia Ponton.
We cannot actually confirm the breakup.
However, Olivia has been vagueposting recently. It’s possible that she’s going through a hard time — but it’s also possible that part of her “hard time” has been a split.
Joe is a handsome, successful guy and, by all accounts, a good person. Is it any wonder that he’d move on pretty quickly?

In fact, she’s said to still be involved with Danny Ramirez, the super hot actor with whom she became romantically linked last year.
People who were at the very same Vegas event that apparently sparked this romance rumor confirmed that Jessica and Joe were part of a large group of friends.
They weren’t alone. No one witnessed anything resembling PDA.
(It sounds like TMZ checked with strangers as well as friends. Friends will cover for you; strangers seldom will.)

It’s worth noting that Jessica shared photos from her recent trip to Mexico just a couple of days ago.
That photo dump included a photo of her with Danny.
Not everyone immediately goes to social media and purges all past photos after a breakup.
However, it’s nearly unheard of to post vacation photos with your significant other after a breakup. At least, without providing context.
We’re not sure what has people believing that Jessica and Joe are dating. But they’re not. And even if he’s rumored to be single, she sure isn’t.
As we previously reported, civil rights activist Jesse Jackson passed away last month.
A recent memorial service was attended by countless famous figures, including multiple former presidents.
And now, Jackson’s son — former congressman Jesse Jackson Jr. — is lashing out at the ex-commander-in-chiefs who spoke at the funeral.

Over the weekend, Jackson addressed a crowd at the Chicago headquarters of Rainbow Push Coalition, an organization founded by his father.
He began by accusing the former presidents of pretending that they had been on intimate terms with his father.
“Yesterday I listened for several hours of three United States presidents who do not know Jesse Jackson,” the younger Jackson said (via Fox News), adding:
“He maintained a tense relationship with the political order, not because the presidents were White or Black, but the demands of our message, the demands of speaking for the least of these — those who are disinherited, the damned, the dispossessed, the disrespected — demanded not Democratic or Republican solutions, but demanded a consistent, prophetic voice that at no point in time sold us out as a people,”

Jackson also criticized the former presidents for taking veiled jabs at Donald Trump during their speeches.
Shortly after his father passed in February, Jackson took to social media to encourage attendees at his father’s memorial events to leave their politics at the door.
“Do not bring your politics out of respect to Rev. Jesse Jackson, and the life that he lived, to these ongoing services,” he wrote.
“Come respectful, and come to say thank you. But these ongoing services are welcome to ALL—Democrat, Republican, liberal, and conservative. Right-wing, left-wing. Because his life is broad enough to cover the full spectrum of what it means to be an American.”

The former presidents allegedly ignored that request, with Obama noting in his speech that “every day we wake up to some new assault on our democratic institutions.”
“We’re told by those in high office to fear each other and to turn on each other, and that some Americans count more than others, and that some don’t even count at all,” Obama stated.
At one point, Biden rather strangely remarked that he considers himself “a hell of a lot smarter than most of you” during an anecdote about being mocked for his childhood stutter.
Clinton appears to have kept his comments mostly apolitical, but he recalled speaking with Jackson during his impeachment, and he referred to the late reverend as a close friend, a claim Jesse Jr. seems to be challenging.
None of the former presidents has responded to Jackson’s criticism.
Emilia offered her first piece of advice, which is “to talk to them and let your emotions out.”
She suggested: “If you miss them, you can cry. You can talk to them. I talk to my dad every day.”
Emilia described: “I start with a sentence, and I say, ‘Hi, Dad. I miss you and I love you so much, and I’ll never stop loving you.’”
The 9-year-old elaborated: “And I just tell him about my day, how I’m feeling and I tell my family how I’m doing. And I know he can hear me, but I can’t hear him.”
Emilia expressed that it is key to “feel them in your heart” because dead loved ones are “part of your body.”

‘It’s not a good strategy for someone’s passing’
During the video, Emilia expressed the belief that her late father is “in a good place” because he is “not in pain anymore; he’s in heaven.”
She correctly affirmed that it is normal and okay to experience the full spectrum of emotions, including happiness and sadness and even anger.
Emilia sagely added that you can’t blame yourself, saying: “It’s not a good strategy for someone’s passing.”
She pointed out: “Everybody has different emotions in their body, and they express it in different ways. Many, many different ways.”
Continuing, she instructed: “And don’t let anybody tell you that. Be like, ‘No, you don’t know how I feel.”

Emilia then opined that everything “happens for a reason.” This can be a polarizing take after a tragedy.
“Something my dad told me,” she shared, “was if this doesn’t work out the way he wanted it to and the way we wanted it to for him living, I still have to believe in miracles.”
Emilia also admitted that she “stole” her father’s hat after he died.
“My dad’s hat smells like him, and I love it so much,” she confessed.
As of the morning on Thursday, February 12, the GoFundMe for the Van Der Beek family had brought in over $1.3 million. (Image Credit: GoFundMe)
‘I know that he was a good man’
Emilia also expressed her gratitude towards the thousands of people who had donated to the GoFundMe for her family.
“I know that he was a good man,” she affirmed. “A lot of people loved him.”
“And,” she highlighted, “people prayed for him, and he was loved by … many, many people.”
Emilia is displaying a tremendous amount of emotional maturity — for an adult, let alone for a 9-year-old.
She has had a long time to contemplate her father’s illness and loss, and clearly, her parents walked her through this possibility long before the end.
We have tragic news to report out of Hollywood today.
Jennifer Runyon — the actress best known for her work in Ghostbusters and Charles In Charge — has passed away.
She was just 65 years old.

News of Runyon’s passing comes courtesy of a Facebook post written by members of her family.
“This past Friday night our beloved Jennifer passed away, it was a long and arduous journey that ended with her surrounded by her family,” it read (via Page Six).
“She will always be remembered for her love of life and her devotion to her family and friends. I know from above she’s looking down on all of us with her beautiful smile. Rest in peace our Jenn.”
No cause of death was given, but a separate post written by Runyon’s friend and fellow actress Erin Murphy, indicated that she had been battling cancer.
“So sad to share that my friend Jennifer Runyon Corman has passed away after a brief battle with cancer,” Murphy wrote, adding:

“Some people you just know you’ll be friends with before you even meet. She was a special lady.”
Born in Chicago in 1960, Runyon scored her big break with the 1980 holiday slasher film To All a Good Night.
Though she racked up dozens of credits in the decades that followed, Jennifer is best remembered for two roles:
She reached a new level of fame with her performance as an assistant to Bill Murray in Ghostbusters, and her work as one of the female leads in the first season of Charles In Charge.
The show was retooled for its second season, with Runyon’s character being written off, along with several others.
Only Scott Baio and Willie Aames returned as regulars for Season 2, but Jennifer eventually came back for a guest role.
She put in a number of high-profile performances in the years that followed, including playing Cindy Brady in the TV movie A Very Brady Christmas.
In 2014, Runyon described herself as “semi-retired” from acting and was now working as a teacher and hosting a cooking podcast.
She is survived by her husband, Todd Corman, her son, Wyatt, and her daughter, Bayley.
Our thoughts go out to Jennifer’s loved ones during this incredibly difficult time.
Last year, their newborn daughter — only 1 month old — died. The medical examiner’s office has made a grim determination.

Content warning for domestic abuse and the death of an infant
Starcasmreports that the Adams County, Wisconsin Medical Examiner’s Office has determined that Alisa Eleanor’s death at 5 weeks of age was “non-accidental.”
According to a statement released by the Adams County Health and Human Services Department, the investigation is ongoing.
“On July 5, 2025, the agency received a report regarding a 1-month-old infant brought to the hospital with multiple injuries,” the statement confirms.
“Subsequently, the infant was pronounced deceased on July 9, 2025,” the report shared.
“Law enforcement was contacted and initiated a criminal investigation,” the statement added.

“The Medical Examiner’s Office determined the death was non-accidental,” the statement read.
“No criminal charges have been filed in this case,” the Adams County report admitted, “and the investigation remains open.”
However, the findings do include one damning statement that suggests that criminal charges may be coming soon.
“The Initial Assessment completed by the agency found a preponderance of the evidence to substantiate maltreatment of physical abuse to the infant by the mother,” the statement acknowledged.
The mother, of course, being Leida.

‘The infant being taken to the hospital with multiple injuries’
The previous month, authorities visited Leida’s residence to check on Alessandro, her son from a previous relationship.
(90 Day Fiance viewers may recall that Leida brought him with her when she moved in with Eric, prior to Eric kicking his teen daughter, Tasha, out of her own home.)
“On June 28, 2025, the agency screened-in a CPS Report alleging neglect to the infant’s now 12-year-old half sibling by the mother,” the Adams County Health and Human Services Department shared.
“During the assessment period,” the release continued, “an additional report was made to the agency regarding the infant being taken to the hospital with multiple injuries on July 5, 2025.”
Ultimately, “the allegation of neglect to the infant’s now 12-year-old half sibling was unsubstantiated.”

According to reports at the time, July 5, 2025 was when Eric came to Leida’s house — the two were separated — and hit Leida while she was holding their infant daughter.
He was arrested, charged with domestic battery and domestic disorderly conduct.
It was only hours later that a 911 call reported that the 5-week-old was unresponsive.
“The City of Adams Police Department responded to the scene, along with LifeStar Ambulance Service,” the release described.
The city’s report continues: “LifeStar Ambulance Service transported the infant to Gunderson Moundview Hospital. The infant was then transported to UW Health American Family Children’s Hospital in Madison.”

Every part of this was a preventable tragedy
For days, doctors and nurses at UW Health American Family Children’s Hospital tried to save the baby.
On July 9, she passed away.
When an infant dies of anything but natural causes, it is almost always the case that at least one adult — if not more — is responsible.
It is unclear which further details authorities require before they can press charges.
Right now, it appears that Leida will be facing these charges. But there are a lot of facts that we do not know.
Presumably, these terrible answers will become known during an eventual trial to find justice for this innocent baby.
