Jimmy Swaggart, the once-dominant face of American televangelism whose fame soared in the 1980s before a spectacular fall from grace, has died at the age of 90. The Pentecostal preacher, known for his fiery sermons and dramatic on-screen presence, passed away on July 1, 2025, at Baton Rouge General Medical Center, just over two weeks after suffering a massive heart attack on Father’s Day (per Variety). His family confirmed the news in a solemn statement, calling his passing “was the day he has sung about for decades”.

Swaggart was a preacher, gospel artist, and founder of the global ministry that included SonLife Broadcasting Network and the Family Worship Center. But despite his spiritual empire, his legacy remains inextricably tied to a televised confession in 1988, when he tearfully admitted to “sin[ning]” after being caught with a pr*stitute.

Beyonce is probably one of the, if not the most popular musicians in the world. The singer-songwriter has redefined the music industry with her revolutionary style and stage presence and has influenced countless other artists. She is still going strong and is currently working on the final album of her trilogy.

The Crazy in Love singer’s ethnicity has been the subject of controversy for quite some time. However, the answers seem to lie in her mother, Tina Knowles’ heritage. Knowles is a fashion designer and businesswoman and has paid tribute to her rich heritage through her business ventures. So, what really is Tina Knowles’ ethnicity?

What in the world of stratagem is going on between Diddy and Jay-Z? Despite previously being friends and appearing close with each other in several photos, Jay-Z has surprisingly maintained his silence over Diddy’s arrest. Not just that, even Shawn Carter’s lawyers claimed that the rapper’s relationship with Sean Combs was strictly professional.

Although Jay-Z and Diddy previously attended parties and were said to be allegedly involved in several heinous crimes, the duo currently appears to be more distant than ever. While a throwback video showed Sean Combs referring to Shawn Carter as his friend, the latter’s lawyers recently denied personal associations between the duo, amid his r*pe lawsuit.

The intersection of celebrity culture, politics, and conspiracy theories has always drawn considerable intrigue, but the recent events of r*pe allegations against Jay-Z have particularly fueled some unsettling debates.

For years, the infamous Pizzagate conspiracy theory has thrived in the corners of the internet, feeding on news and Hollywood gossip. And amid the recent allegations against rap mogul Jay-Z, it has once again resurfaced, this time concerning a ‘white...

Since Sean ‘P Diddy’ Combs’ arrest over accusations of s*xual assault and transportation for pr*stitution, several notorious reports surrounding Jay-Z and Beyoncé have emerged simultaneously. But nothing seemed as heartbreaking as the recent lawsuit filed against the infamous rapper known as Shawn Carter, accusing him of r*ping a 13-year-old girl in 2000.

Amid such shocking allegations against Jay-Z, another report started making rounds on the internet where his illegitimate son, Rymir Satterthwaite, claimed that the rapper got his mother pregnant at 16. While Shawn Carter insisted on being a victim of blackmail amid r*pe accusations, Satterthwaite claimed to be heartbroken by the rapper’s way of deflecting the attacks.

The truth has a funny way of creeping out of the shadows, doesn’t it? Sometimes it’s like trying to hide a cactus under a blanket—it’s just not happening. And right now, Jay-Z is feeling the poke.

The rapper-turned-business mogul, who’s built an empire with his sharp mind and even sharper lyrics, is back in the spotlight for all the wrong reasons. A civil lawsuit has surfaced, claiming that, along with fellow music mogul Diddy, Jay-Z drugged and assaulted a 13-year-old girl at a party in 2000.

Off the case. In this exclusive clip from Tuesday, Feb. 23's Nurses season finale, Ashley (Natasha Calis) faces retaliation from head nurse Sinead (Cathy White) after reaching out to the latter's boyfriend with concerns about Sinead's drinking. For those unfamiliar with the show, per NBC, Nurses "follows five young nurses working on the frontlines of a busy downtown hospital, dedicating their lives to helping others, while struggling to help themselves." This is proven to be true in the just-released footage above. "What did I tell you?" an enraged Sinead snaps at Ashley. "My boyfriend just confronted me about being back in the drop. I wondered where he got such a...

Due to Covid-19, a slew of shows has had to put off filming. To fill their air space, networks have been importing shows from Canada. Earlier this year, NBC aired the Canadian medical drama Transplant, and it was a rousing success.

Given how popular Transplant was, it's no surprise that NBC would pick up another Canadian medical drama. This one is all about the unsung heroes of the hospital, the nurses.

Nurses is definitely worth the watch if, for no other reason than because nurses don't get enough credit. As Head Nurse Sinead O'Rourke, played by Cathy White, puts it, the doctors are the rockstars.

Television is filled with popular rockstar doctors, from Meredith Grey to Conrad Hawkins and everyone in between. They seem larger than life, and they save lives every day.

When people go to the hospital, they don't expect a nurse to save their life. They expect a doctor to do it.

If you’ve ever wondered about the unheralded support staff behind the docs on Grey’s Anatomy, then NBC’s Stateside debut of the Canadian drama Nurses is for you.

The premiere follows five nurses on their first day of work at a major Toronto hospital, where they’re informed that they’re a different breed than the residents when it comes to treating patients: “Those rock stars make them well. We make them matter,” head nurse Sinead (Vikings‘ Cathy White) tells her new charges. Then almost immediately, they’re thrown into trauma as victims come in from an attack on a nearby art college.
