With the sad news yesterday of Dawson’s Creek star James Van Der Beek passing away at just 48 due to bowel cancer – there has been a silver lining of hope for his wife Kimberley and their six gorgeous children. 

A Go Fund Me Page was set up for the family, who had spent all their life savings on treatments for James, and the world has answered the call… within 24 hours the family had 1 million dollars, and last I checked it was nearly at 2 million.

The fundraiser’s initial goal was $US350,000, but it surpassed that within hours.
Hollywood A lister and friend of the family Zoe Saldana has set up a repeated donation of $2,500 a month.

Even though the tragedy of losing your husband and father is great – the support from people in a time like this is what gets you through. 


Australia has claimed its first gold medal at the 2026 Winter Olympics, with 25-year-old Cooper Woods stunning the moguls world in Livigno, Italy.

It’s a huge moment for Australian sport, marking the nation’s seventh Winter Olympic gold and its first medal of these Games. 

Woods delivered a flawless run under pressure and celebrated alongside teammates and supporters — a breakthrough performance that has Aussie fans buzzing
 


Foo Fighters fans are in full detective mode right now after the band launched an interactive ‘music lover’s bedroom’ on their website, packed with posters and little 10-second music snippets teasing what looks like a brand-new album.

They’ve already dropped two singles this year, they’re heading out on a massive North American tour… and now Aussie fans are collectively saying: alright Dave, when are you bringing it Down Under? 

Let’s be honest, Western Australia would happily volunteer as tribute. New album on the way, big tour locked in… now we just need those Australian dates to drop.

Prime Video have dropped the trailer for their new superhero action-adventure series – Spider- Noir.

This. Look.s Great.
