Not to ignore the terrible tragedy that just occurred this morning in Las Vegas but we have some tragic news from the music world to share: Tom Petty has passed away. The iconic musician was 66. According to TMZ, Petty was found unresponsive in his Malibu home last night after suffering from cardiac arrest. Upon entering the hospital, he was put on life support but with no brain activity, the decision was made to take him off and let him go. The story is still unraveling but Twitter has already been inundated with #RipTomPetty tweets. His song "Free Fallin'" was the only song I could successfully master on my guitar and I remember growing up with him on the radio in my father's car. This is a sad day, all around. Our thoughts and prayers at Three Ice Cubes are literally with everyone!!!


After this article went to print, it was learned that Petty was actually still in the hospital all news outlets that had confirmed the singer had died were to retract their statements. At 8:40pm, Petty officially passed away, peacefully, surrounded by his bandmates (The Heartbreakers) as well as family and friends, his manager confirmed. We apologize for any unnecessary sadness this may have caused prematurely. Our hearts go out to his fans and his loved ones.

'DWTS' Names First Season 35 Contestants

YouTube Dancing With the Stars has named its first contestants for Season 35. Many names have been thrown around, but now, two are official. The first is Maura Higgins of Love Island and The Traitors fame. She infamously got the winner, Rob Rausch, to buy her a Birkin when he was able to deceive her in Season 4 of The Traitors. Her name had been out there for DWTS as well as for The Bachelorette , so it will be great to see how far she makes it.  The next is Summer House star Ciara Miller. She is smack dab in the middle of the Amanda Batula/West Wilson romance scandal, so her time is now. This all went down on Wednesday, April 22nd, at Hulu's Get Real House event.

A 'Jerseylicious' Split!

YouTube When you were on a semi-successful reality show, especially as one of the key players, and everyone watched your love story unfold, it only makes sense they will want to keep following you after the series has ended. Such has been the case for 'Jerseylicious' star, Tracy DiMarco , who always went head-to-head with Olivia Blois-Sharpe on the show based around the never-ending drama at the Jersey salon, The Gatsby. Eventually, DiMarco got her happily ever after when she married Corey Epstein in her dream wedding. She continued to pursue her passion, have three kids, develop a wildly successful podcast, and work on clothing and accessories.  But, when you are in the public eye, boasting 541K followers on Instagram , almost everything you do is up for scrutiny. Fans (and haters) began to notice a lack of presence when it came to her husband, Corey, and questioned if their marriage was okay. There is an abundance of photos of daughters, Skylar and Jayden as well as son, ...

Khloe Kardashian’s ‘Khloud’ Protein Popcorn: Light As Air?

YouTube Khloe Kardashian has just launched her Khloud Protein Popcorn, and it's supposed to be extremely special and different. The big draw to it is that it is specifically a protein popcorn. Khloe opted to put protein in a fun, grabbable snack, and it is great for those who need this on the go. Or for people who love to snack, who do not get enough of this essential macronutrient. Yes, protein bars can be great, but they often do not satisfy a craving. So, how did the Khloud popcorn fare, and is it worth the hype? We got it for you.
