Daniel Fleetwood Dies; Terminally Ill Star Wars Fan Was 32

Daniel Fleetwood  – the terminally ill Star Wars fan who inspired the #ForceForDaniel campaign – has passed away at the age of 32.



As we reported earlier, Fleetwood suffered from spindle cell sarcoma and was aware that he didn’t have long to live. His dying wish was to see the completed version of Star Wars: The Force Awakens, which isn’t slated for release until next month.


His wife, Ashley, enlisted fellow Star Wars fans to help convince filmmakers to allow Daniel to see the movie a few weeks early, as doctors believed that he might not make it to the December 18 release date.


Franchise stars like Mark Hamill and Carrie Fisher expressed their support for the campaign, and last week Daniel got his wish.


Director J.J. Abrams contacted the Fleetwood family to arrange a screening, and Ashley offered elated updates on the experience via Twitter:


“To all our wonderful supporters, friends, family and awesome strangers: Daniels final dream was just granted!!! Today the wonderful Disney, Bad Robot and Lucasfilm teams made his final dream come true, Daniel just finished watching an unfinished version of Star Wars: The Force Awakens!!!


“We would like to thank the awesomely talented JJ Abrams for calling us yesterday to tell us Daniel was getting his wish granted! Lastly I want to thank ALL the amazing people who helped make this happen!!! May the force be with you all smile ‪#‎forcefordaniel‬.”


While Daniel’s passing is beyond tragic, the fact that his final days were defined by the devotion of his family and friends, and his passionate love for his favorite films offers a tiny silver lining.


May the force be with you, Daniel. 


Victoria Beckham: Recognized at Glamour Women of the Year!

As expected the Glamour Women of the Year Awards was a star-studded event.  Caitlin Jenner was honored as the Woman of the Year, and she gave a speech that brought the audience to tears.


But other stars were recognized at the award ceremony for their accomplishments, including Victoria Beckham.



Beckham was recognized for her fashion line and her humanitarian efforts as a goodwill ambassador with UNAIDS.


Beckham’s recognition comes after years of hard work and building a reputable brand.  Rumors claim the singer and fashion designer is so strict with her business that Beckham refused to design Kim Kardashian’s wedding dress, worrying it would devalue her brand.


Though many of the women recognized at the event celebrated with their families, Beckham’s family was not present. However, the former Spice Girls’ family sent their love in a video montage that aired at the event.


“Victoria, congratulations on an incredible achievement,” said her husband David Beckham, who was sitting on a sofa with their children: Brooklyn, 16, Rome, 13, Cruz, 10, and daughter Harper, 4.


“So have a great night. Enjoy yourself—I have a few people that want to say something to you,” the 40-year-old footballer added.


Ten-year-old Cruz exclaimed, “You’re my mummy of the year: not just this year but every year!”


And teenaged Romeo supported his mother when he said, “Congratulations, Mummy. You definitely deserve this award. Oh, one more thing: Can you please make kids’ clothes?” 


Finally, her youngest child Harper sweetly chimed in saying, “I love you, Mummy!” 


After the video played, Victoria’s son Brooklyn presented his mom with her award. “We’re all so proud of you, and I’m so excited to be with you tonight to present you with this award,” he said. “I love you.” 


When the 41-year-old fashion mogul gave her acceptance speech, she gave a special recognition to her husband of 16 years: 


“Running a business, my work with UNAIDS and most importantly, being a mum, wouldn’t be possible without David,” she said. “Not only is he the most incredible father, but he’s supportive and someone who loves and inspires me every single day.”

Naya Rivera Reveals New Hair! See Her New Look!!

It has only been two months since actress Naya Rivera gave birth to her first child.  The Glee-alum has been spotted since rocking a seriously hot post-preggers body.


And now, in addition, to a post-baby body that most women would kill for, she is sporting a new hair color.



On Saturday, November 7, Naya was seen in Los Angeles with a brand-new honey blonde hair. She showed off a super fit figure and donned a monochromatic outfit that highlighted her new color.


Naya took to the streets wearing a beige long sleeve shirt with a plunging neckline and caramel colored, high-waisted pants. She paired the outfit with a set of nude pumps.


Two days before she was spotted in LA, Naya gave preview of her new hair on Instagram. “New hair flow…thank you [celebrity colorist] @georgepapanikolas! #ThisMamasStillGotIt,” she captioned her picture.


The actress gave birth to her son on September 17.  Her Instagram feed has been moslty quiet since then.  She has only posted a few pictures including an adorable snap of her baby wearing a skeleton onesie on Halloween.


But with her new hair and fit body, we are sure there are plenty more pics to come.

Kylie Jenner to Female Paparazzo: Get a Life B-TCH!

Kylie Jenner has never been one to hold back on Instagram, but usually her lack of shyness takes the form of racy selfies that would get most 18-year-olds grounded for a month.


Earlier this week, the youngest Jenner decided to mix things up by sharing her thoughts on a female paprazzo that she spotted while waiting in line at the In-N-Out drive-thru.


Unlike Kylie"s constant bikini pics, the result was seriously ugly:


“No woman should be a paparazzi," Kylie says in the clip below. "This woman is such a bitch. Like what are you doing with your life girl?”


Many have pointed out that as someone who earns her living taking photos of herself and shilling waist training devices to her impressionable, Kylie really isn"t a position to criticize anyone else"s career choices.


Still others have noted that the whole Kardashian-Jenner clan relies on the paparazzi for their continued relevance, so Kylie should probably not worry too much when she sees one quietly doing her job.


While both of those criticisms are valid, the worst thing about this video is the fact that Kylie seems to completely baffled by the idea of a female pap.


Like, why would standing by the In-N-Out pick-up window hoping to spot a reality star be the exclusive domain of men? 


Also, take note Kylie – the singular of "paparazzi" is "paparazzo." You know, for the next time you feel like shaming someone for their ignorance.
