Like countless others, we are still reeling from the news of Avicii's passing.

As we reported, the talented DJ passed away on Friday at the young age of 28. Although he has been battling health issues for years, his cause of death remains unreported at this time.

In a 2016 interview, the artist (real name Tim Bergling) talked about his poor health and overwhelming fame shortly after announcing his retirement from live touring. This all came after he was suffering from several health issues, including acute pancreatitis partly due to excessive drinking. After having his gallbladder and appendix removed in 2014, he canceled a series of shows in attempt to recover.

He told The Hollywood Reporter at the time of his decision to retire:

Smallville star Allison Mack has been arrested in connection with the case of alleged sex cult leader Keith Raniere.

As we reported in November 2017, the actress has been accused of helping Raniere recruit for DOS, the supposed secret inner circle of NXIVM, which has been accused of branding, starving, and beating members, especially when they don't recruit "slaves" for their organization.

In late March 2018, Raniere was arrested at a luxury villa in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico and was extradited to Fort Worth, Texas where he was slapped with sex trafficking and forced labor conspiracy charges.

According to a senior law enforcement official via News 4 New York, Mack was arrested by the FBI in Brooklyn, and is expected to face similar charges.

She is scheduled to appear in federal court on Friday.

After Raniere was apprehended by authorities in Mexico, the thespian and other alleged members — possibly including Nicki Clyne, Lauren Salzman, and Loreta Garza – allegedly engaged in a high-speed car chase with police.

Oh hello!

After speculation was circulating surrounding whether or not Kendall Jenner and Blake Griffin are still an item following his trade from the Clippers to the Detroit Pistons… its seems like that's a yes!

After Kourtney Kardashian's birthday dinner on Thursday night, the 22-year-old model headed to Delilah for an intimate performance by Dave Chappelle, where she was met up with by the athlete.

Although the pair arrived separately, it seems they are back on as they both attended the event. This clears up some rumors of a split, as it was said the NBA player and the KUWTK star avoided each other at Coachella last weekend.

Oh, the dramz!
