'The Ring' actress Daveigh Chase dead at 35: report

Daveigh Chase, known for roles in "The Ring" and "Lilo & Stitch," died Tuesday in Los Angeles, according to NBC News. She was 35.

Her father, John Schwallier, told the outlet via text that his daughter "died of complications of bacterial meningitis and a blood infection."

Additionally, he said that Chase "was suffering from severe malnutrition."

Her former manager, John Ryan Jr., disputed claims made in a recent crowdfunding campaign published before reports of Chase's death began circulating.

"Daveigh’s estate has plenty of means to pay for the cremation," Ryan said in a statement to Deadline. "John is next of kin and never signed any paperwork over to this so called boyfriend."

TMZ was first to report Chase's death through her alleged boyfriend, Roy Hernandez.

"That GoFundMe is not going toward ANY expenses for Daveigh," Ryan told the outlet. "Myself, her father, her uncle and all of us close friends who knew her for decades are encouraging people not to donate to this page. 

"This man making these claims brought her into the hospital in terrible condition and didn’t let any of the family know until she passed so he can control the dialogue. Daveigh’s actual family is handling all arrangements, we have contacted go fund me to let them know this man started this page on his own under Daveighs name when she was already unresponsive and urging people to report the page and not donate."

Chase was born in Las Vegas and began singing and dancing at a young age before landing her first role in a Campbell's Soup commercial.

Her star power continued to rise when she was cast to voice Lilo at only eight years old, and worked alongside Tia Carrere and Chris Sanders to bring the Oscar-winning animated Disney film to life.

In addition to voicing Lilo in the film, Chase recorded more than 60 episodes of "Lilo & Stitch: The Series," and voiced the character in various video games and multimedia projects.

The same year, Chase earned legions of fans in another demographic after her chilling role as "Samara" in the DreamWorks classic horror, "The Ring."

In 2003, the young actress earned the best villain award at the 2003 MTV Movie Awards, and beat Mike Myers, Colin Farrell, Willem Dafoe and Daniel Day-Lewis to win the trophy.

Joe Rogan claims former presidents threw 'a lot of money' at Spotify removal effort over COVID controversy

Podcast host Joe Rogan made new allegations on Wednesday that several critics, including former U.S. presidents, "spent a lot of money" attempting to remove his hit show from Spotify after he was accused of spreading misinformation regarding the COVID-19 pandemic. 

On "The Joe Rogan Experience," Rogan sat down with behavior expert and author Chase Hughes to discuss social media and the importance of influence on various platforms while dealing with critics.

During the interview, Rogan revealed that his show lost a significant number of sponsors during the pandemic — despite having such a large following — over various statements he made about vaccines and lockdowns.

"Well, the position that I was in during the COVID thing was very unique," Rogan said.

"I had already — I’d gotten such a head start. I was so far ahead of them," he added. "They didn’t realize my ability to say, ‘Wait, this is — this doesn’t make any sense.’ Like, none of this makes any sense." 

Rogan was previously accused of spreading misinformation during the pandemic after he told listeners he would not receive the shot if he was young and in good health, while also criticizing COVID-19-era lockdowns. 

At the time, Rogan claimed to have successfully used a cocktail of medications — including ivermectin — after he was diagnosed with the virus.

BIDEN SPENT MILLIONS ON ‘MISINFORMATION’ RESEARCH. THE DETAILS ARE EVEN MORE DISTURBING THAN YOU THINK

The podcast host’s remarks set off a media firestorm in the midst of the pandemic, with Rogan revealing this week that a slew of PACs and several other groups pressed Spotify and his sponsors to remove his show from the Sweden-based company’s platform. 

"Thank God I was on Spotify, and thank God Spotify is not an American company," Rogan said. "And also, it helped that I was number one in, like, 90 countries and not number 90 in one country, you know? That helped. That helped a lot." 

Rogan went on to claim during Wednesday’s episode that even former presidents were involved in the alleged takedown.

"I can’t even talk about it, but there [were] presidents involved — and former presidents involved — that were contacting Spotify," Rogan said. "[They were] trying to get me removed for vaccine misinformation. And it turned out to be right. All of it. Not a single [person] apologized." 

"I lost a lot, a lot during those days," he added. 

Rogan did not reveal which public officials or PACs were involved in the alleged attempt to derail his show.

He added "there was a lot of coordination" behind the efforts to remove his show, but said, "I don’t talk about it too much because it’s — it’s pretty — it’s pretty deep."

"It was nuts, but it didn’t work, right?" Rogan continued. "But they tried. They spent a lot of money. A lot of money. It wasn't a small amount of money, it wasn't a small amount of people. It was a lot of people, and a lot of money. That part was spooky."

Following the 2022 backlash surrounding Rogan’s portrayal of the pandemic and vaccines, Spotify announced it would "add a content advisory to any podcast episode that includes a discussion about COVID-19."

Fox News Digital reached out to Spotify for comment but did not immediately receive a response.

Unnamed gambler wins $10.3M jackpot on $5 bet at Las Vegas casino

A Las Vegas gambler is a very rich person after hitting the jackpot of a lifetime.

As our loyal readers know, I'm a huge fan of Sin City, and I have a trip coming soon. Nothing gets the blood pumping like hitting the tables (I prefer blackjack) with an ice-cold drink in your hand.

Many walk away losers while riding the gambling lightning. Only a select few walk away winners, and that's exactly what happened on Tuesday.

The Westgate announced on X Wednesday night that an unnamed person turned a $5 bet on a machine into a staggering $10,292,912.32.

LAS VEGAS TOURIST WINS BIG BUCKS WITH JUST $25 AT CASINO ON HOLIDAY OUTING

Yes, you read that correctly.

A $5 bet turned into nearly $10.3 million.

You can check out the bet from Westgate below, and let me know your thoughts at David.Hookstead@outkick.com.

LAS VEGAS VISITORS SHOCKED AT 'CRAZY' COSTS, FROM $14 COFFEES TO $95 ATM FEES

The popular Las Vegas X account @LasVegasLocally reported that the winner is a man in his mid-20s who had only just started playing the machine.

Talk about incredible luck.

I have some crazy stories from Las Vegas over the years, and I've had my own runs of luck at the tables (I never play machines).

However, I've never witnessed anything like this. What does a person do after winning nearly $10.3 million? They should immediately call a lawyer and financial advisor.

Yet, we all know many people would throw the best party of their lives. That's simply human nature, and I wouldn't blame anyone who did it, despite it not being a financially sound decision.

What would you do if you won $10.3 million on a $5 bet? Let me know at David.Hookstead@outkick.com.

Blue state’s anti-ICE pledge collapses as GOP warns of new sanctuary ‘confederacy’

Colorado has reversed a controversial requirement that attorneys using the state's court e-filing system certify they would not use court information to assist federal immigration enforcement efforts.

The verification requirement was removed from state law last week after Colorado Democratic Gov. Jared Polis signed House Bill 26-1276, creating a carveout for attorneys seeking to use the filing system.

Multiple attorneys spoke out in April after the state’s e-file system required them to certify they would not share such personal information with the federal government — a requirement Colorado officials said stemmed from the Protect Civil Rights Immigration Status Act of 2025.

Colorado Springs attorney Ian Speir told Fox News Digital that Colorado appeared to be "unlawfully coopting private attorneys across the state to further its anti-federal sanctuary policies," while noting that he doesn’t practice criminal nor immigration law but couldn’t sign into the state court system without "saluting the resistance."

COLORADO LAWYERS SAY COURT E-FILE SYSTEM NOW MAKES THEM CERTIFY THEY WON’T ASSIST ICE

The House Judiciary Committee took note of Fox News Digital's reporting on the matter and notified Colorado officials in April that their immigration-related certification wrongly "commandeers private attorneys into Colorado's radical sanctuary policies, handcuffs federal officials from enforcing immigration law in Colorado, and violates fundamental free speech principles."

Rep. Tom McClintock, R-Calif., the chairman of the Judiciary Committee's immigration integrity, security and enforcement subcommittee, told Fox News Digital in a Monday interview that he was pleased to see Colorado reverse itself but warned that the incident is just the latest volley in sanctuary states' battle against federal supremacy.

He called it the latest example of the notion that any state "can obstruct federal laws they don't like."

REP JIM JORDAN, REP TOM MCCLINTOCK: DEMOCRATS THINK THEY CAN OVERRULE LAWS

"I think they've crossed the line into obstruction by forbidding attorneys access to the court system without this outrageous pledge under penalty and perjury that they wouldn't report any information for federal immigration enforcement purposes," McClintock said.

"Obviously, the state recognized what tenuous ground they had staked out, and it reversed themselves. But I remain concerned over what other sanctuary jurisdictions that comprise this new 'Confederacy' may take in the future."

The Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression (FIRE), celebrated the news and noted it was prepared to file a lawsuit against the state government in Denver on First Amendment grounds if it did not repeal the provision.

"Colorado made the right move removing the certification requirement, which was a clear viewpoint-based regulation that violated the First Amendment," the Washington-based group said in a statement.

Speir added that while the state may be able to tell its own public lawyers what to say to ICE, he, as a private attorney, "work for my clients, not the government."

Greg Greubel, FIRE’s senior attorney, said in a statement that the government by law cannot condition an attorney’s access to courts "on a promise not to use information for a lawful purpose the state disfavors."

BLOODTHIRSTY VENEZUELAN GANG PUT ON NOTICE AS NEW BILL CURBS BLUE STATE SANCTUARY POLICIES

 "Kudos to Colorado legislators and the governor for acting quickly to resolve this issue, but it’s troubling that the state attempted this in the first place."

Laws restricting speech must be viewpoint-neutral under the First Amendment, but critics argued that by forcing attorneys not to speak with ICE, they were putting their thumb on the partisan scale.

McClintock said his panel's focus continues to be on the variety of sanctuary policies in states and cities that are "resisting and in many cases obstructing federal law enforcement," citing the Supremacy Clause's assertion that immigration falls under the federal government's authority.

"That's particularly important in regions such as mine where the local sheriffs very much want to cooperate with ICE," said McClintock, who notably chaired the raucous hearing that featured Fairfax County, Virginia, prosecutor Stephen Descano and Sheriff Stacey Kincaid who have been lambasted for their handling of illegal immigrant-related cases.

A measure his panel is working on would allow victims of sanctuary policies to sue those jurisdictions for damages created by the release of illegal immigrant criminals and the like.

Fox News Digital reached out to Polis and ICE for comment.

Hanna Cavinder follows in her sister's footsteps and lands herself a member of the Dallas Cowboys

The Dallas Cowboys appear to have added another Cavinder to their roster.

A video shared on the twins' TikTok account over the weekend shows Haley reacting to her sister Hanna’s relationship news.

Talk about a busy offseason for the Cavinder Twins.

One week they’re discussing their boob jobs and hitting the runway during Miami Swim Week. A couple of weeks later, they’re officially announcing a new boyfriend and getting ready for a wedding.

Haley, who is reportedly tying the knot with Cowboys tight end Jake Ferguson this weekend, shows her twin and her new boyfriend walking in front of her in a short clip.

LIVVY DUNNE SHOWS SUPPORT FOR HALEY CAVINDER FOLLOWING BREAST AUGMENTATION SURGERY: 'BOD IS TEA'

The words "A week before my wedding and my twin decides it’s the perfect time to get a boyfriend. The audacity" are written across it. Don't worry, there's no trouble brewing.

Haley makes it clear in the caption that she’s happy for Hanna, "honestly the best wedding gift from my MOH," which is good news for the WAG locker room. There's enough of a circus in Dallas without twin sisters going at it during the offseason.

ZERO BS. JUST DAKICH. TAKE THE DON'T @ ME PODCAST ON THE ROAD. DOWNLOAD NOW!

The new boyfriend is Cowboys guard Trevor Keegan and, from the looks of it, he's been around for more than a week. Diehard Michigan fans who keep up with his social media activity already knew he was dating a Cavinder Twin sometime last month.

Keegan posted a picture with Hanna, whom he also tagged in the Instagram Story, and wrote, "Signed a free agent."

There you have it. Love is not dead in Dallas, despite the offseason their quarterback has had letting a chance at a ring slip through his fingers. Cowboys fans and hopeless romantics alike have the Cavinder Twins to thank for that.

How long before there are odds on whether Hanna or the Cowboys get a ring first?
