Eric Dane’s Friends Launch GoFundMe to Support His Daughters After His Death
Eric Dane’s friends have launched a GoFundMe campaign in support of his family after the actor died at age 53 following a battle with ALS.
The campaign, which has a target of $250,000, aims to raise money for the Grey’s Anatomy star’s daughters Billie, 15, and Georgia, 14. Dane, who died on Thursday, February 19, shared Billie and Georgia with wife Rebecca Gayheart.
“It is with profound sadness that we share the loss of Eric Dane after a hard-fought battle with ALS, leaving behind his devoted wife, Rebecca, and his two teenage daughters, Billie and Georgia, who were the center of his world,” the GoFundMe description reads.
Dane first publicly shared he had been diagnosed with ALS in April 2025. The GoFundMe, which has been confirmed as authentic by Us Weekly, detailed the actor’s advocacy for raising awareness of the disease during his health battle.
Eric Dane’s wife, Rebecca Gayheart, says the couple’s two daughters are “taking it day by day” amid his ALS battle. “We have some professional therapists who are helping us, and we’re just trying to have some hope and do it with dignity, grace and love,” Gayheart, 54, told People in an interview published on Saturday, […]
“Following his diagnosis, Eric became a passionate spokesperson for the ALS community, using his voice and platform to advocate for fellow patients and to push for greater awareness. Even as his own health declined, he remained deeply committed to helping others facing the same devastating disease. As his illness progressed far more quickly than anyone could have imagined, Eric’s friends have come together to create this GoFundMe to support his girls and their future needs,” the description continued.
It concluded, “Any contribution, no matter the size, will help provide stability during this incredibly difficult time and in the future for Eric’s wonderful daughters.”
Dane’s family confirmed on Thursday that the Euphoria star died following a battle with ALS.
“He spent his final days surrounded by dear friends, his devoted wife and his two beautiful daughters, Billie and Georgia, who were the center of his world,” the statement read. “Throughout his journey with ALS, Eric became a passionate advocate for awareness and research, determined to make a difference for others facing the same fight. He will be deeply missed and lovingly remembered always.”

The statement concluded: “Eric adored his fans and is forever grateful for the outpouring of love and support he’s received. The family has asked for privacy as they navigate this impossible time.”
Speaking in his final interview, Famous Last Words, which was released on Netflix one day after his death, Dane shared messages for his daughters to hear.
“Billie and Georgia, these words are for you. I tried,” Dane said. “I stumbled sometimes, but I tried. Overall, we had a blast, didn’t we? I remember all the times we spent at the beach, the two of you, me and Mom in Malibu, Santa Monica, Hawaii, Mexico. I see you now playing in the ocean for hours, my water babies. Those days, pun intended, were heaven.”
Dane went on to share that he had learned several things about life from battling ALS and wanted to impart those lessons on his daughters after he was gone.
“I wanna tell you four things I’ve learned from this disease, and I hope you won’t just listen to me. I hope you’ll hear me,” he said. “First, live now, right now, in the present. It’s hard, but I learned to do that. For years, I would wander off mentally, lost in my head for long chunks of time, wallowing in worry and self-pity, shame and doubt.”
Dane also advised Billie and Georgia to “fall in love.”
“Not necessarily fall in love with a person, although I do recommend that as well,” he quipped. “Fall in love with something. Find your passion, your joy [and] find the thing that makes you wanna get up in the morning, drives you through the entire day. I fell in love for the first time when I was about your age. I fell in love with acting.”

Sherri Shepherd is coming to Tyra Banks’ defense following the release of the explosive documentary about the behind-the-scenes drama of the popular modeling competition reality show.

Sherri Shepherd Tearfully Defends Tyra Banks As ‘ANTM’ Documentary Backlash Continues
During a segment on her daytime talk show on Thursday, February 19, Shepherd addressed the fallout from the much talked about Netflix documentary, “Reality Check: Inside America’s Next Top Model,” and offered a compassionate take on Banks amid the supermodel facing backlash.
“The show did awful things to the contestants, and I think everybody expected Tyra to take more accountability,” she stated. “I understand why people are mad.”
Shepherd then noted how different reality television was at the time “ANTM” was at the height of its popularity.
“But I also say, you have to understand the time this all happened was in 2003,” she said. “Reality TV was the wild, wild west back then. Every show was trying to outdo each other to stay on the air.”

“We’re woke now, we know so much more now than we did back then,” Shepherd continued her defense of Banks. “I hate that she’s getting so much flak. She does need to take accountability, I know that, but I also know the battles some people will never understand that are fought.”

Shepherd Also Pointed Out The ‘Battles’ That Banks Likely Had To Face Behind-The-Scenes To Create The Show And Keep Afloat
The former “The View” co-host noted the difficulties that Banks faced as “a young Black woman trying to make it in the reality TV game,” which did not have many women Black women in positions of power at the time.
“We’re trying to compare a time today that we know a lot to a time when there was nothing like this show on the air,” Shepherd said. “We’re not taking into account the battles that this Black woman had to fight just to stay on the air for other people to come on the air.”
Then, as she fought back tears, Shepherd added that she understands that things could have been done differently in hindsight, but Banks was ultimately coming from a genuine place even though her methods may not have always been executed properly.

“To keep a show on the air there are things that we have to do that people will tell us, if you want to stay on the air, this is what you’ve got to do, and we’ve got to weigh the options, and sometimes we make bad decisions and we look up and go, in hindsight, maybe I should not have done it, but I just wanted to open up the door and give a platform to people who look like me,” Shepherd said.

‘ANTM’ Winner Eva Marcille Also Expressed Her Support Of Tyra Banks Following The Documentary Release
During an appearance on “CBS Mornings” on Thursday, February 19, PEOPLE reported that Marcille was naturally asked about the Netflix documentary about the show, which has been a heavy topic of conversation since its release earlier this week, and she shared her perspective.
“I have been asked about Tyra for 21 years,” the former “Real Housewives of Atlanta” star said. “No matter what project I’m doing, what I’m involved in, somehow ‘Top Model’ finds its way in my interview. I’ve done 154 projects since ‘Top Model.’ It’s been 21 years.”
Marcille, who is easily the most successful person to come from “ANTM,” then shared that she will always thank Banks, something she has consistently done for decades, for changing her life for the better.
“Thanks to ‘Top Model,’ though,” she said. “What I will say is I will never fail to thank Tyra. What Tyra set out to do in this business, I will always say — and especially for ‘Top Model,’ initially — she set out to change the world; to change what the modeling industry looked like, sound like, felt like and expected. And she did that for me.”
Marcille also pointed out that it was “very surprising” that she was not asked to participate in the documentary.

Grey’s Anatomy star Kate Walsh is paying tribute to her former onscreen love interest, Eric Dane, in the wake of his death.
Posting via her Instagram on Friday, February 20, Walsh honored her costar after he died on Thursday at age 53 following a battle with ALS.
“I’m at a loss for words to try to express the sadness around Eric’s passing,” Walsh, 58, wrote alongside a carousel of photos that featured Dane, herself and fellow Grey’s cast members.
The actress began her tribute by sharing her condolences to Dane’s daughters Billie, 15, and Georgia, 14 and the mother of his children, Rebecca Gayheart.
“First and foremost I am thinking of his girls and Rebecca and holding them in my prayers and my heart,” Walsh wrote.
Walsh played Dr. Addison Montgomery in the medical drama. Her character’s romance with Dane’s character Dr. Mark “McSteamy” Sloan was a major plot point in early seasons of the show.
In her tribute post, Walsh reflected on her memories shooting alongside Dane as she complimented his real-life personality.
“I literally remember my very first scene with Eric…an elevator scene at Seattle Greys 😊 So, so long ago. I believe it was his first scene on the show too and he was nervous. He was so handsome and I thought ‘but can this guy act?’ 😂 and of course he could, and did, and the rest is history,” Walsh wrote.

She continued, “One of the things I loved about Eric was his sensitivity and vulnerability, (and intelligence, of course) but he had the gravitas & old soul that made his work magnetic and made him a great friend off set. In those early days of Grey’s, as with most network tv shows, we spent more time with each other than with anyone else and so we became a family of sorts and Eric was such a source of support and love.”
Walsh ended the post by urging her followers to help organizations trying to find a cure for the debilitating disease.
“ALS is an awful disease & too many people have lost loved ones to it. I know it was Eric’s mission to help find a cure. I would encourage you to look into @targetals in his memory. 🕊️,” she wrote.
Dane’s family confirmed via a statement on Thursday that the Euphoria star died following a battle with ALS.
“He spent his final days surrounded by dear friends, his devoted wife and his two beautiful daughters, Billie and Georgia, who were the center of his world,” the statement read. “Throughout his journey with ALS, Eric became a passionate advocate for awareness and research, determined to make a difference for others facing the same fight. He will be deeply missed and lovingly remembered always.”
The statement concluded: “Eric adored his fans and is forever grateful for the outpouring of love and support he’s received. The family has asked for privacy as they navigate this impossible time.”
Dane appeared on Grey’s Anatomy from 2006 to 2012 before returning for a surprise appearance in 2021.
He publicly announced he had been diagnosed with ALS via People in April 2025.

Astrologer Richard James
Jessica Alba and Danny Ramirez Are Compatible …
But Are They In It For the Right Reasons???
Published
Jessica Alba and Danny Ramirez‘s relationship heated up quickly … but, ya gotta wonder if they’re soulmates — and, an expert astrologer is here to find out.
Vaunted evolutionary astrologer Richard James checked Jessica and Danny’s star charts — including his Venus and her Mars — and he kicks off by saying this relationship’s intense … sparked by a “love at first sight” beginning.
Ramirez is going to help Alba grow and change … if she’s receptive to that. James also notes Alba’s chart indicates she’s fiercely independent, while Ramirez needs a bit more cuddling and coddling.
Ultimately, this couple has a seal of approval from the stars themselves … but, Richard adds ya gotta wonder about the human element as well here — including whether this is the right time to dive into a long-term relationship given Alba’s divorce, which was finalized earlier this month.
Are wedding bells in the future? Stay tuned.
Richard James has a weekly astrology show called “StarCast Weekly” where he goes through all the signs and tells people what they can expect for the week ahead on the streamer Gaia.
‘RHOC’ Meghan King
My Ex-Husband Got Sex Workers to Harass Me!!!
Jim Edmonds Denies Claim
Published
‘Real Housewives of Orange County’ alum Meghan King accused her ex-husband Jim Edmonds of leaking her cell phone to sex workers to harass her years ago … something she mentioned to cops while reporting recent harassing phone threats from an unknown person — but a rep for Jim adamantly denies the claim.
According to a Kirkwood Police Department report, Meghan drove to the station in Missouri in September 2025 to report alleged threatening phone calls she’d been getting.
Meghan told an officer she’d been receiving consistent calls from an unknown person threatening to hurt her and her kids. Meghan claimed she was getting the calls for the past 2 months … but said it had gotten increasingly worse over the prior 2 days. She told the officer the person had been making “crazed overt threats” and making less and less sense.
Meghan claimed she engaged with the caller for a bit, but then stopped … she said she blocked the number, but says they kept using new numbers to message her.
The officer listened to 2 voicemails left by the unknown individual and said the person sounded female … the caller made repeated threats of grabbing, hurting, and killing Meghan and her children. The suspect also told Meghan she would “go to jail.”
The report reads … “The suspect speaks calmly at times and quickly at others, using frequently-repeated phrases or details in a rambling and erratic manner.”
The officer noted in the report Meghan is a former star of “The Real Housewives of Orange County,” and that sometimes random people call her.
Meghan told police she was dealing with her ex-husband, Jim Edmonds, “losing his mind” over their ongoing custody dispute. As TMZ previously reported, Meghan lost custody of the three kids she shares with Jim after a school official called Child Protective Services.
The report says the officer asked Meghan if she believed Jim had a connection to the threatening calls … she said she didn’t know … but mentioned the ongoing custody battle.
Meghan also told the cop Jim had harassed her through other people before, and referenced an alleged incident a few years ago when she claimed Jim distributed her number in numerous places — including giving it to sex workers with instructions to harass her.
According to the report, Megan said “after an overwhelming wave of phone calls and texts, she received a text from a number not known to her, which included a photo of the text sent by [Jim] containing instructions to harass her.”
The police department launched an investigation into the random texts and calls, adding that “Due to the nature of the threats, a department-wide email was sent requesting a close patrol of [Meghan’s] residence.”
Jim’s rep, Steve Honig, tells TMZ, “This is the first anyone is hearing of this, and it’s absurd. Jim is spending his time in Tennessee raising his kids and doesn’t have time for such nonsense.”

Anthony Ramos unpacks being 'butt-ass naked' in front of Ashton Kutcher on “The Beauty”: 'It was a crazy scene'
:max_bytes(150000):strip_icc():format(jpeg)/The-Beauty-Ashton-Kutcher-Anthony-Ramos-4-022026-bbdbf7a2f3bc45e0bf5903d116614734.jpg)
Ramos named the scene as one of the most memorable during his time on the Ryan Murphy drama.
For a series that built its fandom online, the next growth move is simple: remove friction. Since this anime has always thrived on discovery — clips, edits, character moments, the whole paywall-free binge framing feels strangely out of place. That’s why this kind of platform placement matters: it turns a title people know about into a title people can start immediately, and all of it.
The official channel for the franchise on X shared a looping GIF that cycles through the four core heroines, each framed with their signature color and emblem energy, like a quick reminder of the show’s identity: style-forward action, tight team dynamics, and character-first momentum. It’s also a smart fit for Pluto’s audience, where what’s-on-now discovery still drives viewing. A curated push + familiar iconography is how you spark rewatchers and convert first-timers who’ve seen the names (Ruby, Weiss, Blake, Yang) but never hit play.
While only RWBY Volume 1 is now streaming on Pluto TV, the remaining volumes are rolling out across the week. And to accelerate the catch-up wave, Pluto is also running an all-day RWBY marathon on the app across 2/21 and 2/22, a programmed “start here and stay here” window designed to turn curiosity into a full-season binge.
‘RWBY’ Has Had a Tough Journey, But It’s Still Going Strong
RWBY launched in 2012 under Monty Oum and grew from short, web-first episodes into a long-running franchise built around Volumes (seasons). After Oum’s death on February 1, 2015, the team continued production, and the main series has since reached 9 volumes / 117 episodes (as of March 2024). Along the way, it expanded into side projects like RWBY Chibi, the Japanese anime adaptation RWBY: Ice Queendom, and the Justice League x RWBY crossover films.
The franchise hit another turning point when Rooster Teeth shut down, and VIZ Media acquired RWBY in 2024; VIZ says there’s no confirmed new season release date yet, but showrunner Kerry Shawcross will be involved in what comes next.
The most immediate what’s-next, however, is availability: RWBY is rolling out on Pluto TV, with an all-day marathon scheduled for 2/21–2/22. Stay tuned to Collider for more updates.
