CAMERON BOYCE’S ASSUMED CAUSE OF DEATH REVEALED, AUTOPSY AHEAD – (07/09/2019)
Cameron Boyce died after an epileptic seizure in his sleep on Saturday, according to multiple reports. The 20-year-old Disney star kept his epilepsy hidden from the public, as he rose to stardom in Grown Ups, Jessie, the Descendants and Mirrors.
Law enforcement officials tell The Blast that because of his age, an autopsy will be performed to find out if he had any drugs or alcohol in his system at the time of his death. The results may take weeks.
In his last interview with Haute Living in May, he opened up about his desire to make a difference: “There’s a long line of difference makers in my family. I’m following in the footsteps of some really strong men and women who have showed me what it means to give back; it’s the greatest way to fulfill yourself.”
Boyce also paid tribute to his African American heritage in the interview. His grandmother, Jo Ann Allen Boyce, was one of the “Clinton 12,” a group of black students who desegregated Clinton High School in Tennessee after 1954’s Supreme Court Ruling, Brown Vs. Board of Education.
He said: “Her story doesn’t just inspire me … It hits home with everyone who stops to listen to it. She and the other 11 students set the stage for our generation to come together. We have to ensure — especially with some of the controversy plaguing us now — that we continue to push towards dreams that have yet to be realized. Equality in its truest sense.”
“Being African American and Jewish, I have plenty of ancestors and family members that I can look to for strength, and more importantly, for a grateful outlook on life,” he said. “Every one of them clawed and scratched for my sister and I to be in the position we’re in today.”
Boyce walked the walk, volunteering for and contributing to multiple charitable endeavors.
Last April, he won the Pioneering Spirit Award at the 9th Annual Thirst Gala for raising more than $30,000 to build two new wells in Swaziland.

SHAWN MENDES AND CAMILA CABELLO CONTINUE TO SPARK ROMANCE RUMORS: After being seen together looking cozy last week – including on the Fourth of July – Shawn Mendes and Camila Cabello continue to spark romance rumors. E! Online reports the “Señorita” duet partners were spotted having brunch together in West Hollywood. An eyewitness dishes, “They couldn’t keep their hands off each other. They went to brunch for about an hour and a half then went to a spa in West Hollywood. They both kept playing around, dancing and joking with each other.” In addition, Camila attended Shawn’s concert at L.A.’s Staples Center on Friday night, and posted on her Instagram story, “@Shawnmendes you couldn’t be more amazing. Wow” and “You’re unreal.” She also added a heart emoji to her post. Following the release of the pair’s steamy video for “Señorita,” Camila reportedly split with her longtime boyfriend, Matthew Hussey. However, when Shawn was asked by a fan during a backstage Q&A session if he and Camila were dating, he shook his head no.
JUSTIN BIEBER TAUNTS TOM CRUISE AS HE NAILS THE #BOTTLECAPCHALLENGE – (07/09/2019)
Over the weekend, Justin Bieber used the #BottleCapChallenge to continue his bizarre obsession with the idea of fighting Tom Cruise.
In his Instagram video, a shirtless Justin announces, “This could be Tom Cruise’s head,” before nailing the challenge, which involves kicking a loosely-placed bottlecap with your foot so it spins off the bottle. In the caption, he challenges both Cruise and his wife, Hailey Baldwin, to do the stunt.
Last month, Bieber made an out-of-nowhere challenge to Cruise to get in the MMA octagon for battle. Just a few days later, though, he said he was just kidding, admitting that he doesn’t know Cruise and, besides, the action star would “probably whup my ass in a fight.”
That hasn’t stopped MMA executives from saying that they’d be happy to stage such a fight.
However, Hailey quickly accepted Justin’s nomination – but she did it a little differently. Hailey drove an ATV and stood on the side with her leg at a 90 degree angle. She kicked off the bottle cap as she drove by.
“ok challenge accepted… I nominate @kendalljenner and @justineskye 🍾🍾,” she captioned her post, nominating Kendall Jenner and Justine Skye.

MARIAH CAREY PUTS HER OWN SPIN TO THE #BOTTLECAPCHALLENGE – (07/09/2019)
Mariah Carey confirmed that she is the ultimate diva when she took on the latest viral sensation to hit the Internet.
Mariah posted a video of herself taking part in the so-called #BottleCapChallenge – where social media users film themselves kicking off loosened soda bottle caps – and used her voice to magically remove a cap.
The singer, dressed in a form-hugging black dress, faced off against what looked like a bottle of white wine. She acts as though she’s about to use some karate move, but raises her finger to her ear and lets out a high-pitched note – and the cap goes flying.
She posted on Instagram: “Challenge accepted!”
