James Van Der Beek is battling stage 3 colorectal cancer.
His family is on this cancer journey with him.
Unfortunately, one of the great crimes of our society is that fighting for one’s life can be financially ruinous. Yes, even for celebrities.
To help make up for his healthcare costs, Van Der Beek is auctioning off memorabilia from his time on Dawson’s Creek.
James Van Der Beek is parting with treasures from his career
On Tuesday, November 11, actor James Van Der Beek spoke to People about his plans to auction his personal Dawson’s Creek memorabilia.
“I’ve been storing these treasures for years,” he acknowledged.
The hit drama ended in 2003 — a full 22 years ago.
Van Der Beek shared that he has been “waiting for the right time to do something with them.”
Now, he stated, “with all of the recent unexpected twists and turns life has presented recently, it’s clear that the time is now.”
Last year, Van Der Beek received his diagnosis. He has been fighting for his life against stage 3 colorectal cancer.
So he is now collaborating with Propstore to auction away these valuable keepsakes from the show that helped to define elder Millennials in their teens.
The auction will take place from December 5 through 7.
All proceeds will go to help Van Der Beek and his family grapple with the financial burden of fighting cancer.
“While I have some nostalgia tugging at me as I part with these items,” Van Der Beek affirmed, “it feels good to be able to offer them through Propstore’s auction to share with those who have supported my work over the years.”
A few of these items will sell for more than others
Some of the items have intrinsic value beyond their status as collector’s items.
For example, during Dawson’s Creek, James Van Der Beek as titular character Dawson gave Joey (Katie Holmes) a necklace for prom.
In real life, the necklace’s estimated value is between $26,400 and $52,800.
A collector who is interested in owning a piece of television history and helping an actor in need might value it even further.
Meanwhile, Dawson’s outfit from the pilot episode could go for nearly $4,000.
By the way, not everything that Van Der Beek is auctioning off is from Dawson’s Creek.
That is perhaps his most iconic role, but he is also a movie star.
He’ll be auctioning off aspects of his wardrobe from Varsity Blues (1999).
Sometimes, actors taking home aspects of their wardrobe or prop items can be controversial. At the very least, they can sometimes get into trouble with producers.
But, contrary to what many people imagine, television stardom does not guarantee someone wealth for life. Holding onto mementos can mean cashing in on fame one last time — when you really need it.
We all hope that Van Der Beek triumphs in his cancer battle
Obviously, if we lived in a better and more just society, James Van Der Beek would not have to sell off these treasures simply to fund his cancer battle.
Unfortunately, we cannot simply wait for society to fix itself. Or, rather, Van Der Beek and his family cannot wait for that.
The nice thing is that bidding on television memorabilia is usually more within reach than reforming society to cover healthcare for everyone.
It is been about one year since Van Der Beek first disclosed his cancer diagnosis in November 2024.
He remains optimistic in interviews, but this is a fight. We wish him and his family the very best.

Amanda Frances is coming to The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.
Consider yourselves warned, Bravo viewers.
Via the first trailer for Season 15 of this long-running franchise, Erika Jayne says of the newcomer: “Something’s off with this girl.”
Relatedly, Bozoma Saint John tells Frances: “You are not being clear about your life.”
Elsewhere, when Amanda’s spouse suggests one of her colleagues might be intimidated by her, the cast member seemingly references a feud with Dorit Kemsley and quips:
“Because I’m young and successful and I’m not financially dependent on a man and she outsourced her financial wellbeing to a man and it did not go well.”
Seriously. Amanda Frances is clearly not afraid of making a splash on air.
Rachel Zoe, also new to the series on Season 15, wastes no time wading into the drama herself as she’s seen declaring in this same trailer:
“I think she’s fake. I think she plays both sides.”
So, who is Amanda Frances?!?
Amanda Frances “is new to Beverly Hills and so is her money,” reads her official Bravo biography, which continues as follows:
The self-professed “money queen” has built a coaching empire and manifested her way into a fairytale life. When the other ladies start to dig deeper, they find that not everything is as picture perfect as it seems.
Frances, based on her Instagram page, is a “self-made woman” helping people “heal” their “relationship with money.” Through her digital courses, which are available to purchase on her website, she “empowers women to design lives and businesses they are wildly obsessed with.”
In addition to hosting a podcast titled And She Rises, Frances is an author who she published her first book, Rich as Fck: More Money Than You Know What To Do With in 2021; and she recently announced on social media that she currently writing her second book, Godly As F-ck.
Frances is 40 years old and got engaged to Eddie Tsivislavsky in December 2024. He’s the father of two kids from his first marriage and also shares two kids with Amanda, a son named Canaan Cash and a daughter Delilah Grace
Frances recounted their whirlwind romance in a February interview with Wedding Forward. “We moved in together in 2021, got pregnant in 2022 an 2023 and I guess the rest is history.”
The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills returns Thursday, December 4, at 8/7c on Bravo.

Last week, the sports world was shocked by the news that Dallas Cowboys defensive end Marshawn Kneeland had passed away at the age of 24.
The cause of death was initially unclear, but insiders later claimed that Kneeland had taken his own life.
Now, a pair of unexpected developments have added new complications to this tragic tale.
Cowboys coach makes surprising announcement
While speaking with the press following Wednesday’s practice, Cowboys head coach Brian Schottenheimer revealed that Kneeland’s girlfriend, Catalina, is pregnant with the late football star’s child.
Schottenheimer added that the team has set up a fund to ensure that Calatina and the child are well provided for.
“She’s pregnant and so we want to make sure she is taken care of and the baby is taken care of for the rest of their lives – it’s very important to our guys and to us,” he said.
“The organization have been amazing, we’ve started the Marshawn Kneeland memorial fund where we can all give and support Catalina.
“We want to make sure she’s taken care of and the baby is taken care of for the rest of their lives,” the coach continued (via the Daily Mail).
Neither Catalina nor the Kneeland family has publicly commented on the situation.
Family member says police ‘killed’ Marshawn Kneeland
Also today, a cousin of Marshawn Kneeland’s alleged that police “killed” the 24-year-old in an encounter that occurred just before his death.
“I truly think they killed him, I truly do,” Jasmine Kneeland told Us Weekly, adding:
“Marshawn is not a violent person. He is not a hot head. Something here is just not right. Something made him really scared and he ran.”
“This is nothing like him at all. He loves his family. He’s like a big kid. He likes making TikTok videos of the little ones in our family, he likes being around them a lot. He was generous with them, always buying stuff.
“I mean, why would he do something like that all of a sudden? That’s not the person I know. Our family is utterly devastated.”
Marshawn allegedly fled from police after being pulled over and was found dead just hours later.
Jasmine explained that she was looking forward to spending time with Marshawn in their hometown of Grand Rapids, Michigan, during the Cowboys’ bye week this week.
“We had this big reunion planned this week at the home where he grew up,” she said.
“We do that kind of thing. All the children come, all the family come together. We eat, we laugh, we pray together. Everybody’s so proud of Marshawn. He’s come such a long way and there was such love for him.”
Jasmine added, “He was supposed to be here with us in Grand Rapids. Not dead after a police chase.”
We will have further updates on this developing story as new information becomes available.

In the months since Charlie Kirk was shot and killed during a speaking engagement, his widow, Erika Kirk, has made numerous public appearances.
Erika has been criticized by some observers who believe that she’s been too oriented toward business and publicity in the wake of her husband’s death.
Now, she’s taking flak for an entirely different reason.
During one of her recent media events, Erika hugged a controversial country singer, and many observers believe that the interaction was not as innocent as it seemed.
Erika and Jason’s awkward moment goes viral
It all went down at the Fox Nation Patriot Awards, where Erika received an award named in honor of her late husband.
The award was presented by country singer Jason Aldean, who is no stranger to controversy himself.
At one point in the ceremony, Erika and Jason hugged, and many viewers felt that the display went on too long and was generally too affectionate — especially as it all went down in front of Aldean’s wife.
You can watch the moment below at about the five minute mark.
“Whatever happened to a good ol respectful handshake?” one person wrote (via Yahoo! News).
“Extremely inappropriate!!!! And shame on Jason for doing it!” a second commented.
“He tried to pull away at least once and she held him tighter and pulled him back in,” a third chimed in.
Defenders lash out at critics for making mountain out of molehill
Of course, Erika also had plenty of defenders who insisted that she and Jason did nothing wrong.
“I wasn’t bothered. I think it’s all being taken out of context,” one person commented.
“Oh my God, people make big deal out of nothing. That’s just a hug of appreciation,” another added.
“Let’s not make more of this than it has to be.. Just stop!!” a third chimed in.
This is not the first time that Erika’s public displays of affection have attracted controversy.
Last month, she got flak for hugging J.D. Vance and comparing the vice president to her late husband.
After a few memes and some light jesting, the public mostly moved on from that situation — and we’re guessing that’s what will happen here too.
