    Miley Cyrus To Receive A Star On The Hollywood Walk of Fame

    Miley Cyrus is next in line to receive her star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

    According to reports, the singer and actress will receive her star on May 22nd on Hollywood Boulevard in Los Angeles. During the ceremony, actress Anya Taylor-Joy and fashion designer Donatella Versace will give speeches. Cyrus’ star will become the 2,845th one to be added to the Hollywood Walk of Fame. It will be located at 7011 Hollywood Blvd.

    She took to social media to post her excitement about receiving this honor. “Honored to be receiving a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame,” she wrote. The post continued, “When I first came to LA from Nashville as a little girl, my family would stay at a hotel on Hollywood Blvd, and I would go on late-night walks with my dad when no one would recognize him. We’d have the gift shops to ourselves & buy knock-off Oscars and Marilyn Monroe merchandise. To now be cemented on this legendary boulevard, surrounded by the icons who inspired me, feels like a dream. This moment will live forever, thank you to everyone in my life who made it possible. I am grateful to share this star with you.”

    This announcement comes after Miley Cyrus returned to Disney to celebrate the 20th-anniversary of Hannah Montana. Ana Martinez, Walk of Fame producer spoke on Cyrus’ latest milestone.

    “Miley deserves her flowers as she has made a lasting impact on the entertainment industry,” she said in a statement. “Generations of young girls have grown up watching her evolve, finding inspiration in her journey and fearless creativity.”

    The event will be live-streamed. Congratulations to Miley Cyrus.

  • Ted Turner Passes Away at 87

    Ted Turner Passes Away at 87

    Ted Turner has passed away at 87 after battling dementia.

    According to reports, Turner’s death was announced by his company, Turner Enterprises. “Ted was an intensely involved and committed leader, intrepid, fearless, and always willing to back a hunch and trust his own judgment,” CNN Chairman and CEO Mark Thompson said in a statement. “He was and always will be the presiding spirit of CNN.”

    Throughout his career, Turner was known as one of the kings of broadcasting. He launched the Turner Broadcasting System, which launched TBS, TNT, Cartoon Network, and Turner Classic Movies.

    He also helped transform politics and culture with Cable News Network (CNN), the first 24-hour news channel in the country at the time. CNN would lay the foundation for other TV news, such as Fox News, MSNBC (MS Now).

    Aside from TV, he also owned the Atlanta Braves, calling them “America’s Team,” and established his own restaurant chain, Ted’s Montana Grill.

    Turner was also known for his philanthropy. He founded the United Nations Foundation and created the cartoon Captain Planet to help children learn about the environment.

    “Ted is the giant on whose shoulders we stand, and we will all take a moment today to recognize him and his impact on our lives and the world.”

    In 2018, Turner was diagnosed with Lewy Body dementia, a month before his 80th birthday. In early 2025, he was hospitalized with a mild case of pneumonia.

    He is survived by his five children, 14 grandchildren, and two great-grandchildren.

  • Suspected Hantavirus Outbreak Leaves Three Dead

    Suspected Hantavirus Outbreak Leaves Three Dead

    Three people are dead after a suspected Hantavirus outbreak.

    The outbreak reportedly occurred aboard a polar cruise ship in the Atlantic. The outbreak also left one person in intensive care and has prompted a response from international health authorities.

    The World Health Organization and South Africa’s Department of Health reported that the outbreak happened on the Dutch-operated vessel MV Hondius, which had been at sea for weeks after leaving Argentina on a route that included the Falkland Islands and Antarctica.

    So far, at least one infection has been confirmed by a laboratory, while other passengers and crew members experienced symptoms consistent with the virus. The ship is currently being held offshore near Cape Verde. Officials also blocked passengers from disembarking as they investigate the risk.

    “Detailed investigations are ongoing, including further laboratory testing and epidemiological investigations,” the WHO said in a statement. They also stated that medical care is being administered on both land and sea.

    This virus is typically transmitted through exposure to infected rodent droppings, urine, or saliva. It can lead to life-threatening conditions such as hantavirus pulmonary syndrome or hemorrhagic fever with renal complications.

    According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), although uncommon, the infections carry a high fatality rate, estimated at roughly 38% to 40% in severe respiratory cases.

    Officials have stressed that the broader public is not at risk. “The risk to the wider public remains low. There is no need for panic or travel restrictions,” Dr. Hans Henri P. Kluge, WHO’s regional director, said.

    The victims were a 70-year-old man, who died on board, and his wife, who collapsed and died in South Africa. The third victim is still on the vessel.
