A bizarre story involving a Connecticut-based paranormal investigator is going viral on social media today.

Multiple outlets have now confirmed that Dan Rivera passed away in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania while touring with the infamous “haunted” doll known as Annabelle.

The doll gained notoriety through the Conjuring film franchise, which is based on the real-life work of paranormal investigators Ed and Lorraine Warren.

Rivera was an employee at the Warrens’ Occult Museum in Monroe, Connecticut.

Psychic research center announces death of Dan Rivera

News of his death comes courtesy of a Facebook post from the New England Society for Psychic Research.

“It’s with deep sadness that Tony, Wade, and I share the sudden passing of our close friend and partner, Dan Rivera. We are heartbroken and still processing this loss.

“Dan truly believed in sharing his experiences and educating people on the paranormal. His kindness and passion touched everyone who knew him. Thank you for your support and kind thoughts during this difficult time.”

No cause of death has been revealed.

TMZ reports that “firefighters and medics rushed to his hotel Sunday night” but were unable to revive Rivera.

Presence of ‘dangerous’ doll fuels social media speculation

Naturally, much of the online fascination with this story has to do with the presence of Annabelle.

In a YouTube video, Rivera and another museum employee explained that the doll is a “dangerous” artifact with the ability to inflict “psychic wounds.”

In the clip above, Rivera explains that extreme precaution is exercised when taking Annabelle on tour.

The doll’s case is equipped with multiple crosses and other religious emblems in order to contain its alleged evil.

Before removing Annabelle from the museum, a priest is brought in to say a protective blessing.

According to a Connecticut NBC affiliate, the doll “is rarely moved” due to the dangers thought to be associated with it.

So no matter what the medical examiner’s report reads, you can bet that countless paranormal believers will attribute this death to the doll whose supposed powers have inspired numerous horror films.

Our thoughts go out to Dan Rivera’s loved ones during this devastating time.

We will have further updates on this developing story as new information becomes available.

When it comes to what Jennifer Love Hewitt has been up to over the last several months, we know what the actress did last winter and spring:

Continue to look amazing!

On Monday night, the 46-year old walked the red carpet for I Know What You Did Last Summer, a remake of the 1997 thriller that also starred Hewitt … along with Sarah Michelle Gellar, Ryan Phillippe, and Freddie Prinze Jr.

The long-time star hasn’t exactly been out of the spotlight since appearing in this hit movie, most notably having starred in 114 episodes to date of the drama 9-1-1.

But Hewitt doesn’t exactly get all dolled up for that role, which may explain why she turned heads in so manu directions in Hollywood yesterday evening.

As you can see above and below, Hewitt wore an ankle-length, form-fitting Rachel Gilbert Embellished dress with 3-D jeweled beading for the occasion, as she dazzled photographers and onlookers.

Her matching black pumps featured textured silver accents.

And her hair? It had far more of a ginger tinge than usual, wouldn’t you say?

The new movie picks up after the events of 1998’s I Still Know What You Did Last Summer and the 1997 original installment with the same name.

the return of Hewitt’s good-girl character, Julie James, who can’t seem to escape her troubled past.

According to Sony Pictures, it chronicles five friends who “inadvertently cause a deadly car accident” before “cover[ing] up their involvement and mak[ing] a pact to keep it a secret rather than face the consequences.”

Fast forward a year later and:

“Their past comes back to haunt them and they’re forced to confront a horrifying truth: someone knows what they did last summer…and is hell-bent on revenge. As one by one the friends are stalked by a killer, they discover this has happened before, and they turn to two survivors of the legendary Southport Massacre of 1997 for help.”

Hewitt plays one of these survivors.

At the moment, though, Hewitt is playing the role of Natural Curve Role Model.

A bunch of social media users have jumped online over the past few hours to gush over the actress’ appearance.

“A real woman showing her naturally gorgeous body!” one person wrote in response to the snapshots, for example, while another added:

“Beautiful ❤️ finally someone who is not afraid to show the real person she is with curves and healthy what all woman should be proud of.”

Then there was someone who referred to Hewitt as a “Gorgeous Curvy Girl with STYLE!” and another who praised such positivity across the board as follows:

The comments section gives me hope for the next generation.

For her part, Hewitt once slammed those who sexualized her as a teenager.

“It was really strange, I think, to become a sex symbol sort of like before I I even knew what that was,” Hewitt explained on a podcast this year, referring to how often folks talked about her breasts in the late 1990s. “Like I didn’t know what being sexy meant.”

She added back then:

“There were grown men talking to me at 16 about my breasts openly on a talk show, and people were laughing about it. It was a culture that was fully accepted, but when you sit, and you look at where we are now versus then, it is really mind-blowing.”

Hewitt felt like people only saw her as a sex symbol back then, lamenting:

“I’m working so hard. I’m growing. I’m trying so hard, like crying from my heart week after week for you. And the only thing that you see is a movie poster with boobs on it.’”

“That was heartbreaking for me.”

Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco are getting married — and, reportedly, very soon.

Late last year, the two became engaged after about a year and a half of dating.

Speculation about the couple began almost immediately.

Now, we’re learning a lot more about their reported wedding plans, including the date, the location, and how Selena’s A-list peers like Taylor Swift will work as guests.

Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco have a wedding date, per a new report

According to a new report by The Daily Mail, Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco will marry late this summer or early this autumn in California.

“Selena and Benny’s wedding is going to be a two-day event in Montecito in September,” a source claimed.

This will not be one of those lavish celebrity weddings with thousands of guests.

The ceremony will reportedly be relatively intimate, with close friends and family of the couple being the only invitees.

That will include big-name celebrities, including Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce.

Apparently, wedding invitations have already been mailed to guests.

Who will the wedding guests be?

“Everyone invited has been asked to bring overnight bags to stay for the weekend,” the insider detailed.

“Although it’s for friends and family only, many on the friends list are huge celebrities,” the source continued.

The insider said that this is “including Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce, Selena’s co-stars from ‘Only Murders In The Building,’ and music superstars who are Benny’s friends and some he’s also worked with.”

This will not be an especially long engagement.

This is, the report details, because Selena and Benny will both have busy professional schedules this autumn and winter.

“Selena loves being engaged but she has been dreaming of being married forever,” shared a second inside source.

“At the end of the year, it gets busy,” the insider explained.

“Not only for them, but also for everyone they want to attend.”

How will Taylor Swift factor into the wedding plans?

“Selena is not having her wedding to accommodate Taylor,” a third inside source clarified.

“But,” this final insider affirmed, “she wants her to attend and she would love for her to be able to go with Travis.”

Taylor and Selena have been besties for over a decade.

Their friendship means the world to each other. Hopefully, nothing will ever change that — or keep them from each other’s weddings.

Blake Lively just scored another, albeit smaller, victory.

In June, the court dismissed Justin Baldoni’s lawsuit.

There are laws specifically against retaliatory lawsuits of this nature, as Lively’s attorneys had pointed out. The court agreed.

Now, the court has sided with Team Lively in a dispute over a deposition.

This Blake Lively deposition was a point of contention

Court battles are about so much more than an eventual verdict, judgment, or settlement. There are countless smaller points of contention along the way. These little decisions can add up — in cost and in consequences.

In this case, Blake Lively has been seeking to have her upcoming deposition take place at her lawyer’s office.

Justin Baldoni has countered, alleging that she is using her “celebrity status” to get her way. Or, at least, that she was trying to.

Well, Page Six reports that the court concluded that attorneys can depose Lively at her attorney’s office.

Her team had expressed concerns about the deposition taking place at Baldoni’s lawyer’s office. Among other things, there have been realistic worries of paparazzi and other media outlets ambushing her.

Relatedly, Baldoni’s team must submit a list of people who will attend the deposition.

What did Justin Baldoni’s team want?

Apparently, Justin Baldoni’s team objected to the request to locate the Blake Lively deposition on her home turf.

They reportedly worried that this location will hinder their ability to privately discuss the deposition.

(Just for the record, depositions are a standard part of most court cases. Disagreements over where to hold these formal meetings are also very common)

Team Baldoni had characterized Lively’s attorney’s arguments as a “tantrum” in court.

The argument was essentially that Lively was behaving like a princess and trying to take control of the trial just as she allegedly did with the film, It Ends With Us.

Lively’s team countered that this lawsuit is a serious matter and includes topics like sexual harassment and retaliation. As such, they felt that Baldoni, and not their client, has been creating a “spectacle” at every turn.

This legal war is far from over

Late in the summer of 2024, an obvious smear campaign launched against Blake Lively.

In December of 2024, she filed a lawsuit against Justin Baldoni, accusing him of sexual harassment on set — and of coordinating the smear campaign against her.

Baldoni responded with a nine-figure lawsuit against Lively and her husband, Ryan Reynolds. The dismissal of that lawsuit was a victory for Lively, but the fight isn’t over yet.

For a guy who makes his living carrying on three to four conversations with his buddies, Joe Rogan does an impressive job of keeping his private life private.

In fact, even the comic’s most diehard fans probably couldn’t tell you much about his wife of 16 years, Jessica Ditzel.

Yes, Joe and Jessica tied the knot way back in 2009, and they’ve welcomed two children together (Jessica has a third kid from a previous relationship).

Rare Jessica Ditzel sighting captivates social media

Jessica is so seldom-seen that new photos of her on vacation with Joe in Venice were enough to make her one of the day’s trending topics.

In photos obtained by Page Six, Ditzel is seen enjoying some time with Joe and their kids aboard a yacht.

Unlike so many other celebs, the couple did not attend Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez’s wedding in Venice just a few weeks prior.

As a one-man media empire with a net worth estimated to be upward of $200 million, Joe certainly would have had no trouble fitting in.

A post shared by Page Six (@pagesix)

Who is Jessica Ditzel?

A former cocktail waitress, Jessica started dating Joe in 2008, and she became pregnant with their first child shortly thereafter.

Rogan had been critical of the institution of marriage in his standup routines, but he says he had no qualms about proposing to Ditzel.

In an interview with the Palm Beach Post, Joe joked that he “had to; she made a baby.”

“What she had done was way more of a commitment compared to signing a legal contract,” he elaborated.

Rogan doesn’t go out of his way to avoid discussions of his family, but they rarely come up as topics on his wide-ranging podcast episodes, likely due to privacy and security concerns.

During a recent appearance on Lex Fridman’s podcast, Rogan described Ditzel as a “happy,” “kind, “disciplined,” “dedicated,” and “fun” person who is “always smiling.”

During the pandemic, the couple left Los Angeles and relocated to a $14 million home on Lake Austin in Austin, Texas.

“Parenthood is probably the greatest human privilege. Having kids is one of the most powerful things I ever did in life; it changed me on so many levels,” Joe once remarked on his show.

“I think the universe did me a solid by giving me only daughters. If I had a son, I would probably be like, ‘I have to keep this boy out of jail’ because I am passing my genes,” the girl dad added.

Maybe one day, Jessica will decide to join Joe in the studio for one of his signature marathon interviews.

We’re sure she could offer all kinds of new insights into the mind and personality of one of American media’s most divisive figures.
