  • Fox News Commentator Camryn Kinsey Speaks Out After On-Air Collapse

    Fox News Commentator Camryn Kinsey Speaks Out After On-Air Collapse

    Fox News contributor and former Trump staffer Camryn Kinsey has responded after fainting live on-air during a broadcast Thursday night — a moment that quickly went viral online.

    Kinsey addressed the incident via Instagram on Friday, reassuring her followers that she is recovering well.

    “Wow, sorry for the scare last night,” she wrote. “I want to start by thanking the incredible Fox News team and the EMTs who responded with such speed and care. It was an unexpected and frightening moment, but thanks to their professionalism and kindness I’m doing well.”

    She went on to thank everyone who had reached out to her, and offered a brief update on her condition. “I’m taking it slow, staying hydrated, letting my body rest and thanking the Lord that everything is okay,” she added. “It may not have been how I planned to end the segment, but I’ll be back on your TV soon. Hopefully long enough to finally finish my point about Kamala!”

    Kinsey had been discussing U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris and the 2024 election moments before collapsing. “This is what they have to do — they have to rewrite history because they had a failed campaign; they had a failed presidency,” she told fellow Fox News personality Jonathan Hunt. “She never went to the border. This is about incompetency. It’s not about, uh, ideology, or uh, it’s not about…”

    Her sentence was cut short as she began to sway and then dropped out of frame.

    The clip aired just hours after President Joe Biden appeared on The View and commented on Harris’s 2024 loss. “They went the sexist route — this is a woman, she’s this, she’s that,” Biden said. “I’ve never seen such a successful and consistent campaign undercutting the idea that a woman, especially a woman of mixed race, could lead the country.”

    Kinsey has not yet addressed the President’s remarks directly, but assured her audience she’ll return soon to continue the conversation.

  • Police Called as Minecraft Movie Screenings Erupt in Chaos Over “Chicken Jockey” Craze

    Police Called as Minecraft Movie Screenings Erupt in Chaos Over “Chicken Jockey” Craze

    The Minecraft movie had a massive opening weekend at the box office — and it didn’t take long for chaos to erupt inside theaters across the country. Reports flooded social media of rowdy audiences throwing popcorn, screaming lines from the movie, and even prompting police intervention at some locations. 

    While many fans reveled in the wild atmosphere, others said the experience was completely ruined by the pandemonium.

    Videos quickly surfaced online showing crowds shouting, filming scenes on their phones, clapping loudly, and in some cases, tossing food and drinks around the theater. One phrase in particular has risen to meme status: “CHICKEN JOCKEY!”

    The now-iconic line, delivered by Jack Black (who plays Steve, Minecraft’s beloved playable character), has sent audiences — especially teens — into a frenzy. It’s shouted during a scene where Black’s Steve and Jason Momoa’s character face off against a cuboid chicken ridden by a baby zombie in a boxing ring — a direct nod to the rare “chicken jockey” encounter from the Minecraft video game. 

    Thanks to a trailer released back in February, many fans were already primed for this moment. And once it hit the big screen, the “Chicken Jockey!” chant exploded, quickly going viral on social media and fueling even louder and more chaotic reactions in theaters.

    One viral video from X (formerly Twitter) user @ollie_twt captured the madness: “The people behind me took their shirts off, as well as the ones standing up front. That was by far the loudest theater I’ve ever been in — and it was awesome.”

    However, not everyone was thrilled. Theater employees have taken to forums and social media to complain about the added mess from thrown popcorn and spilled drinks. Some venues reportedly even called in police to remove disruptive moviegoers. 

    And while a significant chunk of the audience seems to be embracing the madness, many moviegoers — especially parents with young children and those unfamiliar with Minecraft lore — have expressed frustration, saying the shouting, clapping, and chaos completely derailed their experience.

    It seems the Minecraft movie has built more than just a blockbuster opening — it’s sparked a full-blown cultural phenomenon inside theaters, whether audiences love it or hate it.

  • Tom Hanks’ Daughter Opens Up About Her Struggles with Her Mother in Candid Book

    Tom Hanks’ Daughter Opens Up About Her Struggles with Her Mother in Candid Book

    Elizabeth Anne Hanks, daughter of Tom Hanks and his first wife, Samantha Lewes, shares an intimate look at her turbulent upbringing and complicated bond with her mother in her upcoming book, The 10: A Memoir of Family and the Open Road.

    In an excerpt obtained by People, Hanks—who now writes under the name E.A. Hanks—reflects on how her parents’ divorce in 1985 shaped her and her brother Colin’s early years.

    “I am a kid from the First (non-famous) Marriage,” she writes. “My only memories of my parents together are from Colin’s high school graduation and then my own.” She describes a lone photograph of herself standing between them, noting her mother’s wig slightly askew.

    Born in Burbank, Hanks recalls having “few memories of the early years in Los Angeles” after her mother abruptly relocated them to Sacramento, six hours away, following the divorce. While a custody agreement allowed for visits with her father and stepmother on weekends and summers, she describes her years from age five to fourteen as “filled with confusion, violence, deprivation, and love.”

    “I lived in a white house with columns, a backyard with a pool, and a bedroom covered in pictures of horses,” she recalls. But as time passed, her mother’s mental health declined.

    “The backyard became so full of dog s**t that you couldn’t walk around it. The house reeked of smoke. The fridge was often empty or stocked with expired food, and my mother spent more and more time in her four-poster bed, absorbed in the Bible,” she writes.

    One night, she recounts, emotional abuse escalated into physical violence. In the aftermath, she moved to Los Angeles in the middle of seventh grade. At that point, her parents’ custody arrangement essentially reversed, with her primary residence shifting to her father’s home.

    At 14, she and her mother embarked on a road trip across the U.S. via Interstate 10, traveling in a Winnebago to Florida. But by her senior year of high school, everything changed.

    “She called to say she was dying,” the excerpt ends.

    Samantha Lewes—whose birth name was Susan Dillingham—passed away from lung cancer in 2002 at age 49, leaving Hanks, then 19, to grapple with the loss.

    In 2019, Hanks retraced her mother’s journey, setting out on a six-month road trip from Los Angeles to Palatka, Florida, where Lewes once lived. That journey became the foundation for her memoir.

    Speaking to People, she shares her belief that Lewes suffered from undiagnosed bipolar disorder, often experiencing extreme paranoia and delusions.

    Lewes met Tom Hanks in the mid-’70s while studying theatre in Sacramento. The couple welcomed their first child, Colin, in 1977 and married the following year. In 1982, Elizabeth was born.

    Their marriage ended in 1985, and their divorce was finalized two years later. Initially, Lewes had primary custody, with weekend and summer visits at their father’s home. But as the children grew older, the arrangement reversed.

    While Lewes never remarried, Tom Hanks wed actress Rita Wilson in 1988. The couple shares two sons, Chet and Truman.

    The 10: A Memoir of Family and the Open Road by E.A. Hanks will be released on April 8.

  • Motorcyclist Falls to Death as Sinkhole Opens on Busy Street in Seoul

    In a shocking and tragic incident, a motorcyclist plunged to his death after a massive sinkhole suddenly opened beneath him on a busy street in Seoul. The victim, a 33-year-old man identified by his surname Park, was discovered dead on Tuesday after a grueling 17-hour search operation.

    Disturbing dashcam footage captured from a vehicle trailing the motorcyclist shows the horrifying moment he was swallowed by the sinkhole. A white car driving ahead narrowly escaped the same fate, bouncing back onto the road as the driver accelerated just in time. The driver of the car sustained only minor injuries.

    Park’s body was eventually located in a subway tunnel approximately 164 feet (50 meters) from the center of the sinkhole. The chasm, measuring 65 feet (20 meters) wide and equally deep, appeared suddenly at an intersection in Seoul’s Gangdong District. Despite an immediate response from the local fire department, the rescue effort required heavy machinery, including excavators and shovels. Emergency officer Kim Chang Seob confirmed in a televised briefing that Park was found wearing his helmet and motorcycle boots. His Japanese-made motorcycle and mobile phone were discovered before his body was recovered.

    The exact cause of the sinkhole remains unclear, but the collapse triggered a burst water pipe, sending water gushing across the scene. According to a recent report by the Seoul city government, 223 sinkholes have appeared across the city in the past decade.

    Seoul Mayor Oh Se-hoon visited the site on Monday night, urging authorities to investigate the cause and implement measures to prevent similar incidents.

    Seoul is not alone in facing the dangers of sudden ground collapses. In Brazil, the city of Buriticupu declared a state of emergency after a massive sinkhole threatened to swallow homes, putting thousands at risk. Shocking images show the earth opening up in the heart of the Amazon Rainforest region.

    In England, a giant 65-foot sinkhole forced residents to evacuate after it appeared in the middle of a residential street in Surrey, resembling the aftermath of an earthquake.

    Meanwhile, in the United States, a giant sinkhole wreaked havoc on a major highway in New Jersey. The 15-foot-wide crater forced the closure of westbound lanes for months, causing significant disruption.

    As sinkholes continue to pose serious safety risks worldwide, authorities are under increasing pressure to find ways to predict and prevent these sudden geological disasters.

  • South Korean singer Wheesung has been found dead at his home at the age of 43

    Authorities say the K-Pop star, whose real name was Choi Whee-sung, was discovered “a significant amount of time” after his passing. Officials are currently investigating the circumstances surrounding his death.

    Police in Seoul report that Wheesung was found in a state of cardiac arrest, though no foul play is suspected, according to The Sun.

    He was discovered unconscious in his apartment in the northern Gwangjin-gu district of Seoul after his mother called emergency responders, The Korea Times reports.

    Concerns were initially raised when the singer failed to meet with his manager for a scheduled conversation earlier in the day. An investigation into his death remains ongoing.

    Wheesung first made his debut in 2002, quickly rising to fame in South Korea with his distinct soulful vocals.

    Throughout the 2000s, his influence in the music industry continued to grow, and he was widely recognized for popularizing R&B in South Korea. Over the past decade, he transitioned into a mentor and vocal coach for K-pop artists. He had even been scheduled to perform alongside ballad singer KCM in Daegu this weekend.

    Following the news of his passing, fellow artists have shared emotional tributes in his memory.

    Artist Yoon Min-soo wrote on social media, “Wheesung, let’s sing and make music freely in that place. I won’t forget your pure and clear heart.

    “Let’s meet again someday and sing together.” He also posted a touching video of the two performing a duet.

    Rapper Verbal Jint also paid tribute, saying, “Every moment we shared was an honour, and I’m grateful.

    “You’ve worked so hard, rest in peace, Wheesung.”

    In recent years, Wheesung had faced several controversies.

    In 2021, he received a two-year suspended sentence for abusing the powerful anesthetic Propofol.

    Earlier, in March and April 2020, he was found unconscious on two separate occasions due to the use of similar sleep-inducing drugs.

    His passing comes just weeks after the tragic death of South Korean actress Kim Sae-ron, who was found in her home at the age of 24.

    Kim, known for her role in the Netflix series Bloodhounds, was discovered by a close friend who quickly contacted authorities.

  • Christa Pike and the Murder of Colleen Slemmer


    Christa Pike was born in 1976 to Carissa Hansen and Emil Glenn Pike in Beckley, West Virginia. Her parents had a tumultuous relationship, being married for two years, divorced for a year after Hansen was found to be cheating, and remarried for another two years after Hansen attempted suicide. Both of them were frequently negligent. An aunt noted that infant Pike would be “crawling around through piles of dog stool all over the house,” and that Hansen wanted to keep partying when she received news that her toddler was experiencing severe seizures. Pike’s paternal grandmother would frequently help care for her; Pike believed she was the only one who ever loved her. When her grandmother died in 1988, Pike would make her first suicide attempt at age 12, for which she received little support.

    Pike’s living situation continued to be unstable throughout her teenage years as she was both the recipient, and perpetrator, of violence. One of her mother’s boyfriends punched her in the face; criminal charges were filed, then settled. While staying with her father’s new family, one of her young half-sisters claimed to have been molested by Pike, causing her father to send her away. Pike additionally claimed to have been sexually assaulted or molested at several points in time; her friends and family doubt these occurrences, noting that she is a pathological liar. In one incident, a man phoned claiming that he was going to rape her; in response, Pike and a friend beat him with a stick in a parking lot.

    Although she had been bright as a child, her unstable home life caused her to frequently change schools, causing her performance in school to deteriorate. In tenth grade, she was sent to a juvenile facility for a year, where she became interested in the Job Corps, a government program aimed at helping low-income youth by offering vocational training and career skills.

    In the fall of 1994, Pike attended the now-closed Job Corps center in Knoxville, Tennessee. Pike began dating a man a year her junior named Tadaryl Shipp. Together, they developed interest in the occult and devil worship.

    Christa became jealous of her Job Corps classmate, 19-year-old Colleen Slemmer, who she thought was trying to “steal” her boyfriend from her; friends of Slemmer denied the accusations. Along with friend Shadolla Peterson, 18, Pike planned to lure Slemmer to an isolated, abandoned steam plant near the University of Tennessee campus.

    On January 12, 1995, Pike, Shipp, Peterson, and Slemmer signed out of the dormitory and proceeded to the woods, where Slemmer was told they wanted to make peace by offering her some marijuana. Upon arrival at the secluded location, Slemmer was attacked by Pike and Shipp while Peterson acted as lookout. According to later court testimony, for the next thirty minutes Slemmer was taunted, beaten, and slashed; and a pentagram was carved in her chest. Finally, Pike smashed Slemmer’s skull with a large chunk of asphalt, killing her. Pike kept a piece of Slemmer’s skull.

    Pike began to show off the piece of skull around the school, and within thirty-six hours the three were arrested. The log book showed that Pike, Shipp, Peterson, and Slemmer left together and only three returned. Detectives found the piece of skull in Pike’s jacket pocket. The suspects’ rooms were searched and a copy of the Satanic Bible was found in Shipp’s. Soon after her arrest, Pike confessed to police of the torture and killing of Slemmer, but insisted they were merely trying to scare her and it got out of control.
