WEST HOLLYWOOD—On November 26, the flagship SKIMS STORE, owned by Kim Kardashian, known for the show “Keeping Up With the Kardashians” and her relationship with Kanye West, was vandalized. A man was arrested later that morning for felony vandalism.

The flagship SKIMS store is located west of La Cienega Boulevard. It carries Kim Kardashian’s clothing line, which includes shapewear, underwear, and loungewear.

Deputies of the Los Angeles Sheriff’s Department arrived on the scene around 5 a.m. after receiving a report of a man spray-painting the store, which opened in April 2025.

The walls were covered in words, including the phrases “we need that” and “Kimmy Bread,” but, according to the authorities, these and the other words did not refer to the Kardashian family.

The cost of damage to the SKIMS store is estimated at roughly $400, and the words were removed later on Wednesday morning by a third-party contractor. The identity of the man who was arrested is unknown at this time.

HOLLYWOOD HILLS—On September 8, the body of the missing teenager, Celeste Rivas Hernandez, was found in an abandoned Tesla vehicle that was left in an impounded lot in Hollywood Hills. Authorities have revealed that a second person has been linked to the death of the teen. The vehicle belonged to singer, D4vd. 

Authorities have not yet revealed the name of the person. Homicide detectives of the Los Angeles Police Department have been investigating the disappearance of the teen for months.

The LAPD have been able to use this social media data and the cell phone data of the singer D4vd, who is now a suspect, to determine that this second person visited the Hollywood Hills impound lot.

In addition, the authorities suspect that this person was in the vehicle, where the body of Celeste Rivas Hernandez was discovered. No arrests have been made in the case. The investigation is ongoing.

The Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) stated on its website they are aware of the recent stories posted by various media outlets about the D4vd/Celeste Rivas investigation and would like to dispel some misinformation contained in their reporting.

The body of Celeste Rivas was not frozen when it was discovered on September 8, 2025. She had not been decapitated. We have evidence that D4vd travelled to the Santa Barbara area sometime during Spring 2025. The reason for that trip is still under investigation and no conclusions at this point about the relevance of the trip to this case.

As far as the court order, the LAPD sought to seal the records of the Los Angeles County Medical Examiner’s investigation into Celeste Rivas’ death. That order was sought only to ensure detectives from Robbery-Homicide Division learned of important information surrounding her death before the media and the public. The order was not sought to undermine transparency.

No other information will be provided at this time, the LAPD stated.

KINGSTON, JAMAICA—On November 24, Latifa, the wife of James Chambers, announced that her husband, better known as the Jamaican-born, legendary reggae artist, Jimmy Cliff, passed away. He was 81.

“It’s with profound sadness that I share that my husband, Jimmy Cliff, has crossed over due to a seizure followed by pneumonia. I am thankful for his family, friends, fellow artists and coworkers who have shared his journey with him.

To all his fans around the world, please know that your support was his strength throughout his whole career. He really appreciated each-and-every fan for their love. I also wanted to thank Dr. Couceyro, and the whole medical staff, as they have been extremely supportive and helpful during this difficult process. Jimmy, my darling, may you rest in peace. I will follow your wishes.

I hope you all can respect our privacy during these hard times. Further information will be provided, at-a-later date. See you and we see you, Legend.”

Signed, “Latifa, Lilty, and Aken”

The full text of the story of Jimmy Cliff is posted in his biography online. The introduction, itself, reveals that this man was borne a legend.

“As many legends throughout history do, the whole story starts during a devastating storm… We open on the Somerton District of St. James, Jamaica. With only one midwife tending to the entire village, a mother gives birth to a child, wraps him in a sheet, and takes him to shelter at a neighbor’s home as the hurricane blows her house away.

However, everybody agrees, ‘There’s something special about his boy.’

He becomes famous by the age of 14 for a hit coincidentally entitled, ‘Hurricane Hattie.” He goes on to popularize reggae music everywhere and changes the world….” He worked with another music legend, the great, Stevie Wonder, to accomplish the re-popularization of Reggae.

Some may have known his music before they knew his name, singing along with, “I Can See Clearly Now,” “Wonderful World, Beautiful People.” Others still may remember hearing, “I can See Clearly Now,” for the first time when watching the movie about the Jamaican bobsled team, “Cool Runnings,” starring, Leon, Doug E. Doug, Rawle D. Lewis, Malik Yoba, and John Candy.

Jimmy Cliff received his country’s highest honor, “The Order of Merit.” He also is one of the two Jamaican’s to be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

As an artist, he was sought out to work in collaboration with fellow Jamaican, Bob Marley, and with the Rolling Stones, Paul Simon, Elvis Costillo, Annie Lennox, Willie Nelson, Cher, Bruce Springsteen, New Order, and Fiona Apple.

He was also involved in the making of “Vietnam,” with Bob Dylan, in what has been referred to by many as, “The Greatest Protest Song Ever Written.”

Disney fans may remember him, as the voice, of the lead vocalist in the reggae version of “Hakuna Matata.”

A good-bye message is not suitable for a musician such as this. His body may have given out, but his music lives on for his fans who will enjoy his music for years to come.

HOLLYWOOD—On November 20, President Trump renewed his request to have liberal talk show host, Jimmy Kimmel taken off the air after the comedian made disparaging remarks about the President and the late Jefferey Epstein who reportedly committed suicide in jail after being convicted of sex trafficking.

Jimmy Kimmel, who became famous for leaving his audience rhetorically saying, “I can’t believe he said that,” could have a libel suit filed against him for slander.

“Thank you for joining us here at our home quarters of Hollywood where we are carefully following the path of hurricane Epstein right now. It is category five right now. It is expected to make landfall very soon. We are now one step closer to finding out what the President knew and how old were the women when he knew it.

Yesterday, both the House and Senate voted to release the long-withheld files of a man who considered himself to be Trump’s closest friend for close to a decade, the late sex criminal, Jefferey Epstein. The vote in Congress was 427-1. It was such a landside, Trump might be able to rebury the Epstein files under it….,” Kimmel stated.

Trump who began advocating the release of the Epstein files in his 2024 Presidential campaign, responded to Kimmel’s slander.

“Jimmy Kimmel is the perfect example of Democrats;” Trump retorted. “No talent. No ratings. No audience. Bust somehow, still, kept alive by fake news corporations who lost touch with America years ago.” And most recently Trump asked why Kimmel has been kept so long.

“Why does ABC Fake News keep Jimmy Kimmel, a man with no talent, and very poor television ratings on the air?”

Jimmy Kimmel continued the banter without apology. “I’ll go when you go, okay? We’ll be a team. Let’s ride off into the sunset together like Butch Cassidy and the suntan kid…”

Kimmel was just recently allowed back on the air after making crude comments about the late Christian commentator, Charlie Kirk who was assassinated at a speaking engagement at, Utah Valley University in Orem, Utah.

Funerals and memorials were still taking place across the country when the talk show host made the following statement on Jimmy Kimmel Live.

“The MAGA (Make America Great Again) gang is desperately trying to characterize this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them and doing everything they can to score political points from it.”

Kimmel was briefly taken off the air after that. Some live stream stations canceled Jimmy Kimmel Live after that.

The following came directly from the White House web page.

“On Wednesday, November 19, 2025, the President signed into law:
H.R. 4405, the “Epstein Files Transparency Act,” which requires the Attorney General to release all documents and records in possession of the Department of Justice relating to Jeffrey Epstein, and for other purposes.”

“ABC ‘News’ is not journalism — it’s a Democrat spin operation masquerading as a broadcast network. The network’s longstanding commitment to hoaxes, character assassinations, and outright fiction targeting only one side of the political aisle is a deliberate deception to wage war on President Trump and the millions of Americans who elected him to multiple terms.”

HOLLYWOOD—The contenders for the biggest accolade in the music industry were announced on Friday, November 7. I’m referring to the Grammy Awards. Rapper Kendrick Lamar leads the pack with 9 Grammy nominations including nominations for Album of the Year, Song of the Year and Record of the Year. For those not in the know, Lamar earned Grammys this year for Record and Song of the Year for “Not Like Us.”

For the upcoming 2026 ceremony, Lamar is nominated in the Record and Song of the Year categories for “luther,” while he competes in the Album of the Year race for “GNX.” Lamar has been nominated for the highest honor several times but has never won. Not far behind Lamar with nominations are Lady Gaga with seven nominations including Album of the Year for “Mayhem,” while her hit song “Abracadabra” earned nominations for Record and Song of the Year.

Bad Bunny earned 6 nominations including noms for Album, Song and Record of the Year as well. Also ranking in 6 nods was Sabrina Carpenter, who will also compete in the top categories of Album, Song and Record of the Year alongside Lamar, Lady Gaga and Bad Bunny.

Were there snubs. Of course, if they weren’t it wouldn’t be the Grammys. Not seeing much love was Miley Cyrus who was largely overlooked for her most recent album.

NEW YORK, NY—On Thursday, October 23, the FBI announced that NBA Coach, Chauncey Billups, 49, the head coach of the Portland Trailblazers was arrested in a gambling probe.

FBI Director Kash Patel announced that it was an illegal gambling and sports operation that took place over 11 years, and they arrested a total of 31 people involved in wire fraud, money laundering, extortion, robbery, and illegal gambling.

“This FBI will leave no room for any perpetrator of crime across this country. You hear a lot about our work defending the homeland and crushing crime, well this work is also a representative of a colossal portion of the FBI’s mandate to keep America safe and to keep our entertainment industry fair and secure,” Patel said during the press conference. “The fraud is mind boggling…tens of millions of dollars in fraud, theft and robbery across a multi-year investigation.”

“Tens of millions of dollars in fraud and theft,” Patel stated during a news conference Thursday morning. “It takes courageous prosecutors courage to stand in front of you…we will not deny anyone due process,” Patel added. He added the gambling operation involves insider trading with the NBA.

U.S. Attorney Joseph Nocella, Jr. of the Eastern District of New York announced two indictments. The scheme was an insider sports betting conspiracy that spilled confidential details about basketball operations. The second indictment involved high-tech cheating devices in underground poker room games involving mob families from the Bonanno, Gambino, Genovese, and Lucchese crime families. He added during the press conference that the NBA did cooperate with the investigation, and that details of the case did not involve college basketball.

“As alleged, members and associates of organized crime families fixed illegal poker games as part of a highly sophisticated and lucrative fraud scheme to cheat victims out of millions of dollars and conspired with others to perpetrate their frauds,” stated United States Attorney Nocella.  “Well-known former NBA players and former professional athletes, acted as ‘Face Cards’ to lure unsuspecting victims to high-stakes poker games, where they were then at the mercy of concealed technology, including rigged shuffling machines and specially designed contacts lenses and sunglasses to read the backs of playing cards, which ensured that the victims would lose big.  Today’s indictment and arrests sounds the final buzzer for these cheaters.”

Billups has been the coach for the Portland Trail Blazers since 2021. He was drafted into the NBA in 1997 to the Boston Celtics as the third overall pick. He won an NBA Championship with the Detroit Pistons in 2004. He is a five-time all-star and an NBA Finals Most Valuable Player. He retired from the league in 2014.

Damon Jones, 49, played with the Cleveland Cavaliers during his time in the NBA league. Jones was arrested in Las Vegas, Nevada, Thursday morning. Former Miami Heat guard Terry Rozier, 31, was arrested Thursday morning in Orlando, Florida in connected to the case. Rozier played with the Charlotte Hornets and New Orleans Pelicans.

“Beginning as early as 2019, the defendants orchestrated a scheme to utilize wireless technology to rig,” Nocella, Jr. stated.

As alleged in the indictment, beginning as early as 2019, the defendants engaged in a series of schemes to use wireless cheating technology to rig illegal poker games (most commonly, Texas Hold’em) in the Eastern District of New York and across the United States.  Co-conspirators in the scheme included game organizers, who arranged for unwitting victims to play in underground illegal poker games that were secretly rigged; suppliers of the rigged cheating technology; former professional athletes, who were enlisted as “Face Cards” in the scheme to entice the victims’ participation in the games; cheating teams who worked together using the cheating technology to defraud the victims; money launderers; and members and associates of the Bonanno, Gambino, and Genovese organized crime families of LCN, who backed games in the New York area and took a percentage of the crime proceeds from those games.

LCN members and associates had a foothold in the rigged poker scheme because they had preexisting control over “straight” (i.e., non-rigged) illegal poker games in New York City, where some of the rigged poker games also occurred: one that was hosted principally at Lexington Avenue in Manhattan, that was on record with the Bonanno family (the “Lexington Avenue Game”); and a second that was hosted principally at Washington Place in Manhattan, that was on record with the Gambino family (the “Washington Place Game”).  As part of the schemes, some of the charged defendants and other co-conspirators also committed acts of violence, including the robbery and extortions charged in the indictment.

The defendants utilized off the shelf shuffling machines to read the cards off the deck and predict which players had the best poker hands and relayed that information to the off-site operator. That information was given to the quarterback and that information was given to others at the table to win their games and to cheat the victims.

“Using the allure of high-stakes winnings and the promise to play alongside well-known professional athletes, these defendants allegedly defrauded unwitting victims out of tens of millions of dollars and established a financial pipeline to La Cosa Nostra,” stated FBI Assistant Director in Charge Raia.  “This alleged scheme wreaked havoc across the nation, exploiting the notoriety of some and the wallets of others to finance the Italian crime families. Our office maintains its aggressive pursuit of any Italian organized crime operating in our jurisdiction and will continue to stem all unlawful revenue streams fueling their illicit activity.”

As alleged, members of the conspiracy fulfilled different roles to ensure the schemes’ success.  The defendants Tony Goodson, Shane Hennen, Curtis Meeks, and Robert Stroud supplied the cheating technology.  The defendants Ammar Awawdeh, Saul Becher, John Gallo, Zhen Hu, Stroud, and Seth Trustman organized the rigged games.  Members of the cheating teams included the defendants Nelson Alvarez, Louis Apicella, Chauncey Billups, Eric Earnest, Marco Garzon, Jamie Gilet, Tony Goodson, Kenny Han, Hennen, Horatio Hu, Damon Jones, John Mazzola, Nicholas Minucci, Michael Renzulli, Angelo Ruggiero, Jr., Stroud, Trustman, and Sophia Wei.

In addition, the defendant Anthony Shnayderman, among others, laundered the proceeds of the schemes.  Game organizers sometimes directed victims to send money via bank wires to shell companies controlled by Shnayderman, who then transferred money (either in cash or cryptocurrency), less a money laundering fee, back to the game organizers.

Bettors who were defrauded in the rigged games may be victims under the Mandatory Victims Restitution Act.  If you believe you were a victim of the scheme, please contact 1-800-CALLFBI.

The charges in the indictments are allegations, and the defendants are presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty.

HOLLYWOOD—One of the biggest accolades one can take home is a Daytime Emmy award, and the 2025 Daytime Emmy Awards were handed out on Friday, October 17. The big winner of the night was the ABC soap opera “General Hospital” that walked away with seven trophies including the big one, Outstanding Drama Series besting “The Young and the Restless” and “Days of Our Lives.”

“The Drew Barrymore Show” walked away with three Daytime Emmy Awards including Outstanding Daytime Talk Series Host,” while “Live with Kelly and Mark” won for Outstanding Daytime Talk Series. Outstanding Entertainment Talk Series went to “Entertainment Tonight,” while Outstanding Culinary Instructional Series was a win for “Delicious Miss Brown.”

When it comes to the acting categories, Nancy Lee Grahn won for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series for her work as Alexis Davis on “General Hospital.” Oh, Grahn chewed up the small screen with the material given to her in relation to the death of her daughter Sam McCall. Paul Telfer won his first Emmy for Outstanding Lead Performance by an Actor in a Daytime Series for his work as Xander Kiriakis in “Days of Our Lives.”

In the Supporting races, it was Susan Walters who won the Emmy for her role as Diane Jenkins Abbott on “The Young and the Restless,” while Jonathan Jackson added another Daytime Emmy Award to his mantle in the Supporting Actor race for his work on “General Hospital” as Lucky Spencer. It may have been short, but when has Jackson not delivered a knockout performance soap opera fans.

Lisa Yamada took home the award in the newest category Outstanding Emerging Talent in a Daytime Drama Series for her work as Luna Nozawa on “The Bold and the Beautiful.” It is a simplified version of what used to be the prize for the younger actor and actresses in Daytime Drama Series. Alley Mills won the prize for Outstanding Guest Performance in Daytime Drama Series for her work as Heather Webber on “General Hospital.”

The sad thing is once again this awards ceremony that was once a staple on TV wasn’t even heavily promoted, so guess what: a lot of people had no idea it happened. However, you may be surprised how many people actually watch Daytime TV, a lot more than you actually suspect. The 52 Annual Daytime Emmy Awards are in the books; the question now starts on who may reign supreme in 2026.

BEVERLY HILLS—On Friday, October 17, Dirty Hands actor, Aaron Phypers was arrested on a felony warrant that was issued on October 15. Phypers was arrested on four criminal charges, including two counts of injuring a spouse and two counts of threatening a witness.

The charges involve his current divorce case with Real Housewives actress, Denise Richards. Richard’s claims domestic abuse on at least three different occasions, once in April, another time in May, and the third time in July. One of Richard’s allegations includes Phypers slamming Richard’s head against a cement wall, and others include him causing her multiple concussions.

Phypers was booked into jail and detained briefly by Lost Hills Sheriffs Station. His bail was set at $200,000. Reports indicate that Phypers posted bail on October 18. His attorney, Michael Finley, claims allegations against his client are false. Phypers reportedly said that he “did not harm Denise Richards.”

In July of 2025, Richards filed court documents against her husband for domestic violence. The judge issued a temporary restraining order. On October 17, the Judge extended the restraining order against Phypers until their next court hearing which is scheduled for November 7, 2025.

Phypers and Richards were sued in November 2024, for allegedly violating a verbal business agreement. According to reports, their business was Malibu Wellness Center. Phypers used a holistic approach to medicine. In the lawsuit a disgruntled husband claimed his deceased wife’s cancer got notably worse with Phypers “treatment.”

The verbal agreement was monetary. Money back if the advised treatment did not work. Phypers closed the business in 2024 and indicated that he has not had an income since the closing of that business.

Aaron Phypers is known for his roles in Dirty Hands, The Leap (2011) and Air Crash Investigation (2003). He also appeared in an episode of Real Housewives.

Denise Richards began her career as a model. She then starred in Starship Troopers (1997), Wild Things (1998), World is Not Enough (1999), Undercover Brother (2002), Scary Movie 3 (2003) and regularly starred on Real Housewives.

“The shining star of our family has dimmed his light for us in this life … After a prolonged and courageous battle with cancer, we are heartbroken to announce that Michael D’Angelo Archer, known to his fans around the world as D’Angelo, has been called home, departing this life today, October 14, 2025. We are saddened that he can only leave dear memories with his family, but we are eternally grateful for the legacy of extraordinarily moving music he leaves behind.

We ask that you respect our privacy during this difficult time but invite you all join us in mourning his passing while also celebrating the gift of song that he has left for the world.”

Regardless, music was in his soul. His brother, Luther, publicly told many that he came home from school one day to find D’Angelo playing a song on the piano. He wasn’t just “banging” he first told Rolling Stones, he could play, and he was only three years old.

D’Angelo wrote his own music that some musicians referred to as being part of the “Neo-Soul” movement. He was about 21 years old, when he co-wrote and co-produced his own single, “U Will Know” by his supergroup, Black Men United, in 1995.

Some of his other hits included: “Lady,” “Cruisin,” “Nothing Even Matters,” and “How Does It Feel.” His albums include Brown Sugar, Voodoo, and Black Messiah.

Reports indicate that 300,000 copies of Brown Sugar were sold in the first two months following its release in 1995. It spent 65 weeks on Billboard 200 and went platinum in 1996.

Voodoo was released in 2000. Music critics revered this album as, “A Masterpiece,” and calling it D’ Angelo’s “Greatest Work.” The album debuted at number one on the Billboard charts. 320,000 copies were sold in the first week.

D’Angelo and the Recording engineer, Russell Elvevado, earned a Grammy at the 43rd Grammy Awards for the best R and B album. The Executive Producer and Manager at the time was Dominique Trenier.

The album Black Messiah was released in December 2014. This was D’Angelo’s final album. 117,000 copies were sold in the U.S during the second week of sales. Several thousand more copies were sold in the UK.

Billboard named D’Angelo one of the greatest R and B artists. Rolling Stones magazine ranked him 75 on a list of 200 greatest singers of all time.

It was D’Angelo’s struggles with drugs and alcohol that prevented him from producing more. In recent months, the R and B great let it be known that his hope would be not to be remembered by the struggle, but by the gift of music that he gave to the world.

BRENTWOOD—Actress and Oscar-winner, Diane Keaton, known for her roles in “Annie Hall” and “The Godfather” died on Saturday, October 11, PEOPLE first reported. The actress was 79.

TMZ reported that the Los Angeles Fire Department were called to Keaton’s Brentwood property shortly after 8 a.m. and she was taken via ambulance to a local hospital. No additional details or cause of death has been disclosed to the public.

Keaton grew to fame as a notable producer, actress and director in Hollywood. Keaton was born in Los Angeles, CA in January 1946. She got her start on Broadway in 1968 in “Hair.” That role later parlayed Keaton to a role in “Play It Again, Sam,” a production by director Woody Allen that earned the actress a Tony Award nomination for Best Featured Actress in a Play.

Her breakout film role was in 1972’s “The Godfather” which she starred alongside Al Pacino, Marlon Brando, Talia Shire and James Caan. The drama went on to earn 10 Oscar nominations, winning three awards including Best Picture, Best Actor and Best Adapted Screenplay. Keaton reprised her role in the 1974 sequel, “The Godfather Part II.”

In 1977, Keaton starred in the Woody Allen comedy, “Annie Hall” where she won the Academy Award for Best Actress. Other films Keaton starred in included, “Reds,” “Marvin’s Room,”  “Crimes of the Heart,” “Father of the Bride,” “Father of the Bride Part II,” “The First Wives Club,” “Something’s Gotta Give,” “The Family Stone,” “Morning Glory,” “Book Club” and “Book Club: The Next Chapter.”

Some of her co-stars throughout her illustrious career include Bette Midler, Steve Martin, Martin Short, Goldie Hawn, Warren Beatty, Jack Nicholson, Frances McDormand, Queen Latifah, Katie Holmes, Harrison Ford, Jane Fonda, Candice Bergen and Mary Steenburgen. Keaton during her lifetime dated actor/director Woody Allen, Al Pacino and Warren Beatty. The actress never married, but adopted two children, Dexter, 29 and Duke 25 in her 50s.

Keaton was also nominated for a Best Actress Oscar for her work in “Marvin’s Room,” “Something’s Gotta Give” and “Reds.” She won two Golden Globes during her career, one for “Annie Hall” and another for “Something’s Gotta Give.” She was also nominated for a Primetime Emmy Award in 1995.

Keaton’s “The First Wives Club” co-star Bette Midler posted on Instagram:

“The brilliant, beautiful, extraordinary Diane Keaton has died. I cannot tell you how unbearably sad this makes me. She was hilarious, a complete original, and completely without guile, or any of the competitiveness one would have expected from such a star. What you saw was who she was…oh, la, lala!”

Actor Steve Martin responded to a post from Interview Magazine on Instagram writing:

“Don’t know who first posted this, but it sums up our delightful relationship with Diane.”

Director Paul Feig posted on X, “I was so honored to call Diane Keaton a friend. She was an amazingly kind and creative person who also just happened to be a Hollywood legend. She has been taken from us far too soon. We will miss you, Diane.”

MALIBU—On Tuesday, October 9, Gene Simmons,76, the lead vocalist, guitarist, from the 70s rock band, KISS, reportedly passed out at the wheel before hitting the car in front of him on the Pacific Coast Highway (PCH) in Malibu.

Reports indicate that the rock star lost consciousness while driving. Personnel from the Lost Hills Sheriff’s Department confirmed that an accident did occur in the 25000 block of PCH, and that the driver [Gene Simmons] had a medical emergency and was transported to an area hospital for treatment.

Simmons updated his fans on his X social media account the very next day.

On Wednesday, October 8, Simmons posted the following message:

“Thanks everybody for the kind wishes. I’m completely fine. I had a slight fender bender. It happens. Especially to those of us who were terrible drivers. And that’s me. All is Well.”

Multiple news reports indicate that Simmons is recovering at home. His wife, Shannon indicated that her husband was just dehydrated suggesting that new meds and lack of water was likely the cause of him fainting.

Apparently, Gene Simmons lost consciousness and rolled right into a parked vehicle on the side of the road. After wrecking their SUV, Shannon relayed to reporters that she did not necessarily want to ride with him when he’s driving anymore.

Simmons, is an Israeli-born, Jewish-American musician. He and his mother immigrated to the United States when Simmons was just a boy, eight years of age. As a young man, he answered an ad for a lead guitarist. In 1973, the newly formed hard-rock band, KISS was born, and in 1974, their first album featuring Simmons, Paul Stanley, Peter Criss, and Paul Frehley, better known as “Ace,” Frehley, who also answered the same ad as Simmons.

On December 2, 2023, Kiss performed at Madison Square Gardens in New York City, which was the finale of the legendary band’s “End of the Road,” Farewell Tour.”

HUGO, OK—On Saturday, September 20, beloved tiger trainer, and owner of Prowler Pines Tiger Preserve Ryan Easley, age 37, was mauled by a tiger that he had raised from a cub. The tiger attack occurred at the end of a tiger demonstration. Reports indicate that his wife and children were present at the time of the attack.

The tiger reportedly attacked Easley around his neck and head causing fatal injuries. According to Choctaw County Sheriff’s Department, Easley was dead when Sheriff’s deputies arrived on the scene.

Prowler Pines Tiger Preserve made an initial statement on their Facebook page confirming the death of Easley died in what they called, an “accident, involving a tiger under his care.”

Ryan Easley was an associate of Joseph Maldonado, also known as, “The Tiger King,” who is currently serving prison time for unrelated charges.  Reports indicate that Easley may have obtained some of The Tiger Kings tigers in Maldonado’s care following his imprisonment. That has not been confirmed by Canyon News.

Prowler Pines Tiger Preserve is located in the Red River Valley in Southeastern Oklahoma, close to the Texas border. The following message on their website:

“Due to unforeseen circumstances, all tours have been postponed. All tickets will be refunded.”

The non-government operation (NGO) “Protect All Wildlife” made a statement they posted on their X social media page:

“Keeping wild animals in captivity and forcing them to perform for human amusement is as far from the natural world as they can get, and using wild animals for entertainment is dangerous and wrong for everyone involved.”

The People for Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) made a statement on their X Social media site as well, accusing Easley of hurting the tigers he loved. Easley is not here to defend himself against those accusations. Canyon News is not reporting that the tiger trainer hurt the animals in any way. The statement from PETA is below:

“Tiger abuser Ryan Easley was fatally attacked by a tiger during a show in front of his family and onlookers. When wild animals are caged, beaten, and denied freedom, tragedy is inevitable. This cycle of suffering must end.”

Canyon News reached out to the Prowler Pines Tiger Preserve for a statement but did not hear back in time for print.
