Katie Slaton, the star of the 1000-pound Sisters, passed away shortly after being diagnosed with Stage 4 gastric adenocarcinoma.

1000-lbs Sisters star Katie Slaton’s cousin, Amanda Halterman, paid tribute to her ‘best friend’ and ‘life of the party’ following her tragic death aged 37. The heartbreaking news of Katie’s death comes several months after it was announced she was diagnosed with Stage 4 gastric adenocarcinoma.

Beloved star Katie appeared on the popular show with her cousins Amy Slaton and Tammy Slaton, whose weight loss journey was the focus of the TLC programme. She also appeared in series five, when Tammy was released from a weight-loss rehabilitation centre.

Following her death, her cousin Amanda paid tribute to Katie – who she said was a “force to be reckoned with”.

Amanda posted on Instagram : “It [is] with a completely crushed heart and spirit that I have to post this. My little cousin went to sit at the feet of Jesus yesterday. She was a force to be reckoned with and showed love that was accepting and given freely.

She was both my best friend and the life of the [party]. I am aware that you were welcomed home by both of our grandparents and friends. Please pray for my aunt, uncle, cousins, but most of all, for Natalie’s strength and the birth of the children.

“Pray for everyone who loves her,” he asks. Thank you to everyone who has shown support for her. #cancersucks”.

Amanda took to social media to ask her followers to pray for the family before her passing. She also penned the following message to Katie: “Please whisper a prayer for our family as we continue to support] Katie.” I’m so happy to be able to support you.

Katie, who appeared on a number of the show’s episodes, was revealed earlier this year to have been diagnosed with stage 4 cancer.

According to the Daily Mail, Katie had gastric adenocarcinoma, which the outlet described as an aggressive form of stomach cancer.

When Amanda announced her death, fans were quick to pay their condolences, with one saying: ” “Deepest sympathy & condolences goes out to you Amanda, your family & friends.” Another said: “Praying that the Lord holds you all close in this time.”

Someone else emailed “Sending you all strength and peace in the present.” I’m so sorry for both of you. I’m so sorry for your loss, Amanda, and a fourth person commented on the post. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.

The singer has described the new album Man’s Best Friend as a “party for heartbreak,” and it’s thought to make reference to Barry Keoghan, her ex-boyfriend.

Sabrina Carpenter appears to have revealed the truth behind her split from Barry Keoghan. Many people have speculated that one song on Man’s Best Friend could be about the Saltburn actor and their “turbulent” relationship.

Fans believe Barry, 32, who is thought to be her most recent ex-partner, was the inspiration for some of the lyrics on the album after their breakup last year, but the singer, 26, won’t name him. The Grammy-nominated singer sings about the apparent breakdown of a relationship in the closing song Goodbye.

She sings, “Broke my heart on Saturday,” in the opening verse. You’ll change your feelings, I assure you over night. And I nearly passed out after so much crying. It suggests that it was her partner, who is thought to be Barry, who left, perhaps not for the last time, just like the chorus suggests.

Then Sabrina sings, “Goodbye means that you’re losing me for life,” in the chorus. Did you forget that it was you who said goodbye when you can’t call it love and then call it quits?

Fans speculate that Barry might be the subject of Sabrina’s song Never Getting Laid, which has lyrics about a partner with a wandering eye, despite the absence of any indication of infidelity. He’s alleged to be mentioned in other songs, including Go Go Juice, where she playfully references ex-exes.

Sabrina has previously spoken about life since the break-up. Asked if she was single by Rolling Stone earlier this year, she said: “Am I doing the single thing right now? I’m doing the 25-year-old thing right now, whatever that means.”

She also addressed the difficulties of maintaining relationships in the public eye. People don’t realize how difficult it is to have relationships with people who aren’t already married and have relationships, according to Sabina.

She reportedly split from Barry towards the end of last year. A source told People at the time that they were both “young and career focused,” implying that it was a mutual choice to go their separate ways.

Following the split, Barry deactivated his Instagram account amid speculation and online abuse. As reported by People at the time, he said in a statement that he had faced “disgusting commentary” and was concerned about his family’s welfare.

Sabrina’s new album, which has also attracted attention over its ‘sexed-up’ lyrics, was released today. Posting about the album, Sabrina told fans: “Man’s Best Friend is out now x how special to make something out of pure inspiration and zero pressure. I don’t think I’ve had greater memories making something before.

With three of my most enlightened friends, Amy, Jack, and John, I broke the record. And I would if I could go back in time and experience these memories. We had a lot of fun, Goddamn! and it is audible!

“It’s a celebration of disappointment, a true party for heartache!” It’s laughing at yourself and your poor choices as the world unravels, and it’s wondering how loyalty and love return you to third wheeling, in a real 25-year-old voice!

You are familiar with her and deeply love her. Now it is yours. Happy Birthday to the Best Friend of the Man! everywhere right now. P.S. I suggest listening loud, orderly, top to bottom, with friends or by yourself! My favorite method of listening to this album is both on the album’s lyrical and sonically! (Go-Go juice or glass of white wine is optional)

Stacey Solomon, a panelist for Loose Women, celebrated her six-month fitness milestone in a stunning new video that was shared with her followers on Instagram.

Stacey Solomon celebrated a massive fitness milestone as she shared an impressive clip of her journey with fans on social media. The 35-year-old Loose Women panellist revealed she recently achieved her first-ever pull up and showed off the massive achievement with fans.

Stacey was seen grunting as she attempted to pull up in the video. In the background, her trainer could be heard telling herself to “believe.” Stacey was shocked and then said, “Oh my god! She jokingly remarked, “Shall I leave you up there, I’m up,” as her trainer jokingly remarked. Slowly descend.

The Sort Your Life Out star wrote in the caption: “I did my first EVER pull up. I’m marking this day. I feel like I’m basically the Rock now.”

She continued, “I don’t want to hear anything about blah blah.” I leaped up! That is a win! I was unable to hold on the bar for 10 seconds on 28.08.25 until I had 6 months ago.

The talented actress was praised by her fans and friends who rushed to the comment section to congratulate her on her fitness feat. How do you actually get there without being able to hold on for ten seconds, a user said? “Amazing, how do you get there?”

One person said, “Here’s to Strong Women, that’s amazing, you’re smashing it I need to go to the gym with you, I believe.” Congratulations, Stace, you now become my idol.

Jessie J’s song, “Go on girl,” even came to mind. Stacey opened up about her fitness journey earlier this month and revealed that she has been feeling “really pretty” and “so much stronger.”

The Loose Women star shared a bikini photo, adding: “Feeling beautiful my sister hyped me up today and made me feel really pretty so I’m posting these.”

The mother-of-five explained that she hasn’t changed since February, adding that she only trains because she wants to be so strong.

Stacey continued, “Like boss b***h strong. I long for the freedom to pick up my children with ease and to carry double buggies on my shoulder whenever necessary.

Stacey stated, “I loved my body aesthetically last year as much as I do this year,” despite the body’s changes since last year. No matter what shape or size I’ve had, I’ve always been beautiful.

Don’t commit to fitness just for the looks, she said in her final words. You’ll enjoy the journey more if you wrestle your 17-year-old and carry all three of your toddlers in 40 heat.

As she described the tragic passing of her close friend, Sophia Hutchins, Caitlyn Jenner cried out. The 75-year-old Keeping Up With The Kardashian star’s long-time manager and close friend, who died on Wednesday at the age of 29, was tragically killed in an ATV collision close to Jenner’s Malibu home.

Officials confirmed that Hutchins’ car struck a moving vehicle on a twisting stretch of road overlooking the Pacific Coast on July 2. The fatal collision occurred. The star’s ATV collided with the other vehicle, causing them to both slam into a sheer cliff face and themselves. Emergency personnel quickly arrived at the scene, but upon arrival, they declared Hutchins deceased.

Caitlyn revealed that she had been overwhelmed by grief while speaking on Fox News At Night. My dear friend Sophia recently died in a tragic accident. But she said, “I’ve been dealing with death for the past seven weeks, and it’s been very difficult.”

Before addressing the shooting at the Minneapolis Annunciation Catholic School, she opened up about her personal journey.

I’m dealing with my grief right now, and I can’t even imagine parents dropping their child off at school and declaring, “I’ll never get a chance to talk to him again,” I said. The star remarked, “That is just so awful.

These people have a long way to go, and they will be dealing with grief, I’ve been dealing with.

After Robin Westman, 23, opened fire on himself during a church mass at Annunciation Catholic School in Minneapolis on Wednesday morning, Fletcher Merkel, 8, and a 10-year-old girl died. 14 children between the ages of 6 and 15 and three parishioners in their 80s were among the injured in the attack, which also included three children.

Soon after the transgender woman’s Olympic legend made a public statement about her identity in 2015, Hutchins and Jenner made friends.

Throughout her own gender transition while a student at Pepperdine University in Malibu, she frequently referred to the reality star as a beacon of hope.

In 2017, Hutchins moved to Jenner’s $2.8 million Malibu home and succeeded in assuming Jenner’s position as Jenner’s former spouse, Kris Jenner.

Hutchins and Caitlyn were never romantically involved, according to Hutchins in a conversation with The New York Times earlier.

In April of this year, Hutchins and Jenner were most recently seen posing for her at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner in Washington. Hutchins fought tirelessly for the MAGA campaign and President Donald Trump, and she frequently used her platform.

She appeared alongside Trump in front of an American flag in a popular social media post from the previous year, expressing her excitement, passion, and commitment to saving America. We’ll never let go of.”

Hutchins continued to be a powerful voice in conservative communities and LGBTQ+ campaigning despite keeping a relatively low profile in recent months.

Our beauty editor claims that after having my first look at one of Yankee Candle’s 2025 advent calendar offerings, it will keep my housesmelling fantastic all through December.

Although it may seem early in the year to be discussing the C-word, advent calendars have already started appearing on stores (we swear it gets that way every year!). Candle-filled Christmas calendars and bumper beauty offerings are lovely alternatives if you want to make a change from the typical chocolate calendar or bumper beauty offerings. This year’s Yankee Candle one is excellent value for money, in my opinion, having had a sneak preview of it.

The larger Fragrance Lover’s Book Advent Calendar, which retails for £49.99, and the more affordable 24 Days of Fragrance Wreath Advent Calendar, which retail for £49.99, are both available from Yankee Candle this year. It’s currently on sale for £22.95 on Boots, which means that each candle costs only 95p, up from its usual price of £28.99.

Although it might not be the most expensive or flashiest calendar on the shelves, I really like this one because you can use all the products inside without any issues or leftovers. You can pop into the tea light holder behind door number one to get a different scent each day. Your home will smell amazing every day from December 1 through Christmas Day because each little candle will burn for a short period of time.

The eight distinct scents contained within the collection are all Yankee classics and genuinely smell lovely. My personal favorites are Amber &amp, Sandalwood and Silver Sage &amp, Pine, which are slightly less sweet than Christmas Cookie and Cinnamon Stick.

Additionally, the calendar’s packaging is given more positive reviews for its ease of recycling afterwards. It’s all cardboard, easily recyclable after December 24 and squashes down fairly flat, even though you won’t be able to reuse it year after year. The illustrations are also traditionally festive, which I like.

I would have liked to have seen a “special” candle behind door number 24, perhaps a slightly bigger one, if there had been one improvement. The second door has the same tea light behind it as the first door, as it is.

This Yankee Candle one is a lovely treat if you love (or are buying for someone who loves) home fragrance but are unable to commit to the expensive fragrance brand calendars Jo Malone London and Diptyque.

If you want to spend less than £50, opt for Yankee’s Fragrance Lover’s Book Advent Calendar, which has 12 votive and tea lights.

Will Smith’s most recent YouTube video, which features signs that magically change, six fingers on people, and blurred body parts, has been spotted by glee-eyed fans.

In a bizarre new twist, fans are convinced Will Smith has used AI in a recent YouTube video he posted which features multiple short clips of concert footage.

In a 59-second video released on August 12 to promote his current tour, the controversial Hollywood A-lister uploaded to his official YouTube channel with significant discrepancies.

The 56-year-old actor has received criticism from all sides for starting the UK leg of his Based on a True Story tour in Scarborough on August 24.

Fans have noticed warped fingers, changing signs, and odd blurring in the video in question. The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air is currently on tour as he promotes his latest album, which is titled the same name as the tour.

The brief promotional video states, “Seeing you all up close is my favorite part of the tour.” Fans holding up signs and enjoying Will Smith’s concerts while the controversial artist performs on stage are featured in various concert clips, thanks to “Thank you for seeing me too.”

One sign that reads “LOV U FRESH PRINCE” magically transforms into “LOV U FR6SH CRINCE” by the end of the video, which is full of a number of outrageous visual errors throughout the YouTube clip.

Other blunders that viewers have noticed include irregularly shaped hands that appear to have six fingers and random blurred faces and body parts.

One woman holds up a sign in the video, but a second woman’s headband appears to be over her wrist.

A man is also holding a tribute sign that reads “You Can Make It helped me survive cancer.” This is another obvious AI error. THX Will, but his knuckles are incredibly blurred along the sign’s edge.

Fans are now voicing their disapproval of Will’s concert clip, which has since gone viral.

Unreal concert man! is one cheeky comment made on the video. The crowd is AI, literally, right?

While another viewer declared, “It’s over, bro. Just enjoy your retirement, folks.

Another sarcastic phrase was used to express “Thoughts and prayers to all of these crowd-disfigured people.” Missing fingers, 6 and 7 fingers, and melted faces Will truly inspire me.

While a fourth user expressed concern about the sign that reads “From West Philly to West Swiggy, look at these faces because they are literally melting.

Another fan expressed disappointment by saying, “Defeated no ai, really thought better of you, I love you FR6Sh Crince.”

While one comment made the humorous observation that “This was all true; his recent shows were for people with severe facial disfigurations or multiple limbs/heads.” They require our assistance, they say.

“Imagine having AI footage of crowds and bot comments on your video because you are this wealthy and famous.” Man, that’s crazy. Another disappointed fan remarked, “You used to be cool.

Will Smith has seen a fall from grace ever since he slapped actor and comedian Chris Rock at the 94th Academy Awards held on March 27, 2022. The headline-grabbing incident occurred after Chris made a joke about

The incident occurred after Rock joked about Jada Pinkett Smith shaving her head at the Oscar ceremony as a result of the Red Table Talk host’s alopecia battle.

Will jumped onto the stage and slapped Chris in response after hearing the joke. The Grown Ups actor then yelled at him, “Keep my wife’s name out your f***ing mouth.” He then returned to his seat.
