Rebecca Gayheart is acknowledging the GoFundMe set up in an effort to support her children in the wake of their father Eric Dane’s untimely death.

Gayheart, 54, shared multiple throwback family photos with Dane and their two daughters via her Instagram Stories on Saturday, February 21, while linking to the GoFundMe campaign meant to financially support their kids after Dane died following a brief battle with ALS. He was 53.

“Thank you to everyone,” the widow wrote next to a screenshot of the fundraiser and a link for fans and followers to donate.

Us Weekly confirmed the former Grey’s Anatomy and Euphoria star’s death on Thursday, February, 19.

“With heavy hearts, we share that Dane passed on Thursday afternoon following a courageous battle with ALS,” a statement from his family read. “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. 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.”

The message continued, “He will be deeply missed and lovingly remembered always. 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 announced he was diagnosed with ALS, also known as Lou Gehrig’s disease, in April 2025, nearly one year before he died. The progressive neurodegenerative disease destroys motor neurons in the brain and spinal cord, per the Mayo Clinic, leading to muscle weakness, atrophy and eventual paralysis. There is no known cure.

“I’ve always had a sense of humor about this,” Dane said of his diagnosis while appearing in a Famous Last Words interview, what turned out to be the late actor’s final interview before his death. (The interview aired on Netflix the day after Dane died.) “It’s really kind of interesting what’s happening to my body. The mechanics of this disease is pretty interesting to me. It’s when you zoom in and look at how it affects the individual moments is when it can actually bring you down a little bit.”

He continued at the time, “My spirit has been surprisingly pretty buoyant through this journey. I have no idea, there’s no reason for me to be happy in any individual moment, but I am, The progression of this thing is really just remarkable. You know, I’m pretty sure I sound pretty good too, but to me, I feel like I sound like a frog.”

A GoFundMe campaign was set up to support the actor’s family in the wake of his death — a move Dane’s friend, Mike McGuiness, later defended via social media.

“My friend of almost two decades just let us after a brutal battle with ALS,” McGuiness wrote via Instagram on Friday, February 20. “I’m the positive spin guy and can come up with something hopeful in most any situation. This one broke me.”

McGuiness continued, “COVID and ALS did a number on his work life and he, sadly, couldn’t leave his family with the resourced he had hoped. A GoFundMe is being made and I will post it on my story for anyone able to help.”

Dane’s Advice On Friendship And Fighting With Dignity

Within the pages of Marvel Comics, there is a small army of heroes with amazing powers that they use to fight crime and protect the world. We will not be covering any of those characters today. Instead, we’ll take a tour of the lesser-known characters with powers that can be described as different, unique, or more bluntly, bad.

Sometimes, a terrible power doesn’t mean the character is bad, as their story can be about navigating life with an ability that feels more like a curse than a blessing. Ranging from one-shot characters that were better left forgotten to the beloved oddities roaming the Marvel Comics universe, these are the Marvel Comics “superheroes” with the worst powers.

10

ForgetMeNot

Makes people forget he ever existed

Image via Marvel Comics

If you’re able to remember the X-Men ForgetMeNot, then his power is temporarily not working. A loyal member of the X-Men, ForgetMeNot has fought alongside the mutant team in some of the greatest Marvel Comics storylines, but his ability to be forgotten the moment he leaves someone’s line of sight leaves him as an unsung ally. This ability also makes him undetectable to modern technology such as radar systems, and he can slip by powerful psychics without being noticed.

There is a use to ForgetMeNot’s powers, but for the mutant himself, his abilities leave him isolated and depressed. One of the few to remember ForgetMeNot was Professor X, but that required the telepath to create a psychic reminder in order to stay in contact. Physical traces of ForgetMeNot’s presence could be noticed, such as when he used supplies, so while the X-Men could conceivably prove his existence, there would never be a memory of meeting him or his contributions.

9

Maggott

It’s about as bad as you suspect

Image via Marvel Comics

When a character is named Maggott, there’s a certain level of expectation that goes along with it. The mutant hero doesn’t disappoint, boasting the ability to release slug-like cheaters from his abdomen that ingest anything within seconds. After chowing down, the slugs return to burrow back into Maggott, and he draws power from what they ate. More than an individual hero, Maggott is almost a self-contained super team when taking into account the many services his slugs provide.

Maggott’s level of strength and size is directly related to the amount of energy his slugs, named Eany and Meany, consume. More than just revolting food delivery vessels, Eany and Meany are also able to heal Maggott as needed, giving the mutant an edge in battle that all the other non-slug-owning characters don’t have. Maggott proves that there truly are endless variations of mutant powers that exist.

8

Skin

Can manipulate his loose skin

Image via Marvel Comics

There are X-Men with the coolest mutant powers in the Marvel Universe, and then there are those with the weirdest. The X-Men character Skin poses this question by using his six feet of extra skin to aid him in helping mutants fight for equality. Real name Angelo Espinosa, Skin is able to manipulate his durable but loose grey skin into different shapes and can alter his face, limbs, and body into different sizes.

A founding member of Generation X, Skin is useful offensively by wrapping up his opponents in his skin, and he can also be an asset defensively by shielding his teammates with reinforced epidermis. The stretchy mutant was introduced as a student learning how to control his powers, and with effort, Skin can now maintain a physical form that resembles his fellow mutants. However, if he were to completely relax, he would more closely resemble a melting candle, which could always work to distract Magneto for a few seconds.

7

Human Top (David Mitchell)

He spins

Image via Marvel Comics

While delivering flowers to a hospital, teen David Mitchell is taken hostage by the villain Agent Axis, and after receiving an electric surge of power while strapped to a surgical device, he becomes the Human Top. Now bestowed with the power to spin at superspeed, he became a member of the Kid Commandos, a group that fought Nazis in America.

When a bank is being robbed, or a plane is falling out of the sky, how many times has someone said, “I wish there were someone who could spin fast to save the day”? Probably never, but for all problems that require spinning, there is the Human Top, spinning around without ever getting dizzy. The power is so limited in scope that there’s not much of a way to apply it long-term, which is why this obscure character had limited appearances.

6

Fluff

Makes belly button lint on command

Image via Marvel Comics

No one owns a V-neck outfit that goes as low as the one on Fluff. Of course, the hero needs his naval exposed, because that’s where he expels large amounts of belly button lint that he can alter the chemical composition of. Additionally, his coat of “bio fluff” provides a natural defense system that protects him from all manner of projectiles. At least, that’s what Fluff said, and it could have been a Fluff bluff considering how little is known about him.

Possibly as a means to compensate for having a ridiculous power, Fluff considers himself a ladies’ man, hitting on anyone around him regardless of the situation. It’s a power that seems silly, but depending on the control he has over the chemical composition, Fluff could be a dangerous character to face in battle (or a potentially funny MCU hero). There had to have been a few criminals who stopped and said, “Wait, is he shooting something out of his stomach,” and then were quickly wrapped in belly glue.

5

Gin Genie

Alcohol-powered vibrations

Image via Marvel Comics

Most heroes would consider drinking before going into battle a bad idea (except for Wolverine, probably), but for Gin Genie, it was a necessity. Once inebriated, Gin Genie, real name Beckah Parker, could generate large-scale vibrations proportional to how much she drank. A night of heavy drinking for Gin Genie could result in an earthquake of a disastrous degree. For Beckah, the source of her power was also killing her, as she had developed a dependency on alcohol that was destroying her mind and body alike.

Gin Genie was a short-lived hero, literally, as a member of the revamped X-Force that reimagined the team as celebrity-obsessed superheroes that were as concerned with their merchandise sales as they were saving lives. By the time we are introduced to Gin Genie, she has become increasingly unstable, paranoid that her teammates were out to sabotage her. The X-Force was a highly dysfunctional group, and the inclusion and enablement of Gin Genie was a prime example of the team’s ethics.

Bailey Hoskins

Can explode exactly one time

Image via Marvel Comics

In a crowded lineup of mutant characters, it takes having a particularly bad power to be known as ‘The Worst X-Man,’ but such is the case for Bailey Hoskins. Bailey has the unfortunate ability of self-detonation, but he does not have the power to heal from the explosion. Bailey will not have the opportunity to explode more than once, because he will be too dead to do it a second time.

For anyone who thinks they know who the weakest X-Men character is, Bailey lowers the bar. After learning what he could do from Hank “Beast” McCoy, even Bailey himself says his power is essentially like not having a superpower at all. The power to explode one time is less a superpower and more a very bad option. Like jumping into a wood chipper is an option, but it’s a bad one, and no one would wear a costume bragging about the ability to do it.

3

Soft Serve

Poops ice cream

Image via Marvel Comics

To be fair, Soft Serve is a mutant who has never jumped into battle with Wolverine or Storm, but that’s only because they never had a need for her power, which was pooping ice cream. The power has never been fully illustrated on a double-page layout, but Soft Serve’s abilities extend to virtually any flavor of ice cream. Despite her flavor flexibility, no one should expect yogurt or gelato from the mutant.

Soft Serve only has two appearances in Marvel Comics, both in a minor capacity, but the reputation of what she does and where she does it makes her a name not to be forgotten. Amazingly, Soft Serve isn’t the only Marvel character with ice cream powers, as there is also a villain named Eye-Scream who can turn himself into any flavor of the dessert. The two haven’t faced off in the books, but we’ll probably get to see it on the big screen during the third reboot of the MCU.

2

Almighty Dollar

The ability to shoot pennies

Image via Marvel Comics

Once upon a time, Marvel Comics partnered with the NFL to make a football-themed superhero known as SuperPro. A comic book starring the hero didn’t last long, but the peculiar footnote in the history of the publishing company also gifted us another obscure hero called the Almighty Dollar. After CPA J. Pennington Pennypacker is exposed to a machine that hands out awful superpowers, he gains the ability to shoot pennies.

Where exactly do the pennies come from? Does it hurt to shoot the pennies? Are they considered legal currency? None of these questions were answered because the Almighty Dollar, who doesn’t shoot dollars, only appeared in the one issue. He either retired while he was ahead or was immediately killed the first time he faced an entry-level supervillain who was impervious to pennies, which describes every villain, including ones who haven’t been created yet.

Hindsight Lad

The “power” of hindsight

Image via Marvel Comics

By day, Carlton LaFroyge is an obnoxious teen with delusions of grandeur. As Hindsight Lad, he is still all of those things, but now wearing a costume. Possessing no actual superpowers, Carlton gives himself the power of hindsight as a member of the New Warriors. Wearing a costume that sags where the muscles would be, Hindsight Light offers his services to review what the New Warriors did and give them tips on how to improve.

The only way Carlton got his spot in the New Warriors was by learning that Speedball was his neighbor, Robbie Baldwin. Carlton then annoyed Robbie with requests to join the team, only to be told no because of the complete lack of powers. Undaunted, Carlton said he would reveal Robbie’s identity if he wasn’t allowed to join the team, and the rest was history. So really, Hindsight Lad’s power is blackmail, and that’s more useful than hindsight.

Ghislaine Maxwell‘s brother, Ian Maxwell, is criticizing the British royal family for its treatment of Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor in the wake of his recent and unprecedented arrest.

“There [Andrew] is, kicked out of his home, completely isolated and unlike Ghislaine, he doesn’t even have a supportive family; even his daughters are at sixes and sevens about what to do,” Ian, 70, told U.K. publication The Telegraph in an interview published on Friday, February 20.

Mountbatten-Windsor was arrested by Thames Valley Police on his 66th birthday on Thursday, February 19, on suspicion of misconduct in public office. The former prince is accused of sharing confidential information with disgraced financier and sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein while acting as a U.K. trade envoy from 2001 to 2011. (Epstein died by suicide at age 66 in August 2019 after being arrested on federal sex trafficking charges.)

“You have to note [Andrew] hasn’t been charged with any sort of sexual offense. And the police will have looked really hard for evidence,” Ian pointed out. “Look, he’s a single man and what he did or didn’t do with various women was sleazy, humiliating for him and embarrassing for the royals.”

Virginia Giuffre‘s family is speaking out following Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor‘s arrest, years after she accused the former prince of sexual abuse. “At last,” read a statement from Sky and Amanda Roberts and Danny and Lanette Wilson on Thursday, February 19, per the Today show. “Today our broken hearts have been lifted at the news that no […]

Ian is a staunch defender of his sister, insisting that Ghislaine, 64, was “a scapegoat for the dreadful crimes perpetrated by Jeffrey Epstein.” (Ghislaine was sentenced to 20 years in prison in 2022 after being convicted of federal sex crimes charges. She maintains her innocence.)

“My sister is the fall guy,” Ian insisted. “Somebody had to pay the price for what Epstein did and so the government and the media chose her. I genuinely believe that if Epstein were alive he would be incarcerated and she would be free.”

He went on, “Her trial wasn’t fair and her conviction isn’t safe. Ghislaine has done nothing wrong and the length of her conviction is outrageous.”

Ian described himself as Ghislaine’s “de facto spokesman” but said the rest of the powerful Maxwell family is also supportive. (Ian and Ghislaine are two of late media mogul Robert Maxwell and his wife Elisabeth’s seven living children, along with Philip, Ann, twins Christine and Isabel, and Kevin. Two other Maxwell children, Karine and Michael, died.)

“We’re all supporting her in various ways; loyalty is very very strong in our family,” Ian stressed.

In this new interview, Ian argued that Ghislaine had been unfairly abandoned by feminist groups who he claimed owed her their support.

“There’s an argument here that feminists should really support Ghislaine because she is a woman who has been treated abysmally by the system,” Ian declared. “But I believe my sister is on the right side of history. She’s now in the U.S. equivalent of an open prison and I know she helps other prisoners with their legal cases. I genuinely believe that if she is released in response to her petition – and there’s still a chance that President [Donald] Trump might respond to her plea for clemency – she would do something worthwhile.”

Mountbatten-Windsor told the BBC’s Newsnight in 2019 that he originally met Epstein through his friendship with the financier’s then-girlfriend, Ghislaine. Mountbatten-Windsor has always denied any knowledge or involvement in Epstein’s crimes.

The late Virginia Giuffre accused Epstein and Ghislaine of trafficking her to Mountbatten-Windsor three times, including an incident in 2001 when she was 17. Mountbatten-Windsor has denied any wrongdoing in relation to Giuffre and settled a sexual assault lawsuit with her in 2022. (Giuffre died by suicide at age 41 in April 2025.)

Following Mountbatten-Windsor’s arrest this week, King Charles III released a statement calling for a “full, fair and proper process by which this issue is investigated.”

“As I have said before, [police] have our full and wholehearted support and cooperation,” the king said. “Let me state clearly: the law must take its course. As this process continues, it would not be right for me to comment further on this matter. Meanwhile, my family and I will continue in our duty and service to you all.”

King Charles previously announced in October 2025 that he was stripping his brother of his royal titles. The king also forced Mountbatten-Windsor to move out of his Windsor home, Royal Lodge, to accommodations at the privately-funded Sandringham estate.

Did you know that stage lights have the same effect on skin as intense sun exposure? Hilary Duff’s makeup artist, Kelsey Deenihan Fisher, was aware of this, which is why she slyly incorporates SPF into the singer’s tour looks.

For Duff’s “Small Rooms, Big Nerves” show in Los Angeles, Fisher boosted her glow with the Naked Sundays Cabana Glow Mineral Glow Serum Drops SPF 50, a hybrid product that offers impressive sun protection.

“For my clients, sun exposure doesn’t just happen at the beach, it happens constantly under lights, on set, traveling, and in all the moments in between,” she tells Us. “I love working with Naked Sundays because the SPF is built into the products I’m already using, so protection feels natural and effortless. It allows me to keep skin protected throughout long days without disrupting the makeup or the finish, which is essential when you’re working on camera and under constant lighting.”

Hilary Duff naturally shines on stage. But she’s also using an affordable tanner to boost her glow during her world tour. The singer has been looking positively radiant on every stop so far, and she didn’t go on a lengthy tropical vacation before stepping back into the spotlight. Duff’s makeup artist, Kelsey Deenihan, shared with […]

These versatile SPF-infused glow drops can be used in a few different ways. For an all-over radiance, mix a drop or two with foundation for a finish that looks lit from within. If you’re after an extra glowy boost, apply it first as a primer. It also works well as a highlighter dabbed onto the high points of your face.

While this product has a high SPF level, it doesn’t feel like the sticky, gooey sunscreens we grew up with. The formula features a mix of skin-loving ingredients, like pink algae and hyaluronic acid, to deeply hydrate skin, so your face remains cushiony soft and comfortable until you wash your makeup off at the end of the day.

Shoppers who have tried this serum have been more inclined to wear SPF every day because it’s so easy to use.

“This sunscreen is so lightweight, it feels great on my skin,” one Amazon reviewer writes. “It gives the lightest natural tint when I’m looking for just a little something on my face without wanting to wear foundation.”

Now is the perfect time to stock up on the Naked Sundays Cabana Glow Mineral Glow Serum Drops SPF 50, too, since it’s 57% off. As Duff would say, this is what dreams are made of.

A period drama about the development of computers? It doesn’t sound like everyone’s cup of tea. “What if I don’t like computers?” “Technology stories sound kind of boring.” You might be right if it weren’t a well-developed story or your prime interest, but an expertly written series can ground a story in any context through human-centric storylines, and Halt and Catch Fire did exactly that. Set in the 1980s tech scene, the AMC drama earned critical acclaim and has since garnered a cult following since its conclusion in 2017 — and now, it’s newly resurged on streaming for even more viewers to discover.

What Is ‘Halt and Catch Fire’ About?

What does Halt and Catch Fire really mean? It’s a tongue-in-cheek reference that began as a facetious idea where a computer crashes so badly that it completely stops working and has to be restarted. Essentially, the computer is working “so hard,” it may just catch fire (not literally, obviously). This inside joke is exactly what you’ll get with the AMC series, alongside an inside look into the development of technology spanning more than a decade.

Originally airing from 2014 to 2017, Halt and Catch Fire kicks off in the 1980s, with the development of the personal computer, and goes all the way to the ’90s with the early formative years of the World Wide Web. The series begins at a fictional Dallas software company, Cardiff Electric, where Joe MacMillan (Lee Pace) has just joined. His elaborate team includes engineer Gordon Clark (Scoot McNairy) and programmer Cameron Howe (Mackenzie Davis). Clark’s wife, Donna Clark (Kerry Bishé), put her career on pause to raise their two kids, but has an exceptional mind that is frequently ignored. Although every season of Halt and Catch Fire feels like a new beginning, with each revolving around a unique main storyline, these core characters allow viewers to experience how they grow, and don’t, over the span of more than 10 years.

At first, Halt and Catch Fire was compared to one of AMC’s flagship dramas, Mad Men, but impressively, it moved beyond those comparisons. Yes, both are period dramas about ambition and American innovation, but Halt and Catch Fire carves out its own identity by focusing less on nostalgia and more on the relentless forward momentum of technology and how it reshapes relationships. The personal costs are obvious: marriages crumble, friendships fracture, and professional partnerships implode, yet the show’s central ensemble keeps chasing the next big thing, unable to stop themselves from trying to build the future even as it destroys their present.

‘Halt and Catch Fire’ Wasn’t a Big Hit With Audiences During Its Original Run on AMC

Halt and Catch Fire is experiencing a remarkable second life on streaming, currently sitting as the No. 3 most popular show on Apple TV’s VOD service in the United States — an impressive feat for a show that ended in 2017 and struggled to find viewers during its original AMC run. The series’s availability on both AMC+ and Apple TV has introduced it to a whole new generation of viewers who missed it the first time around, and the binge-friendly format allows audiences to appreciate how meticulously the show builds across its four seasons. What makes this resurgence particularly satisfying is that Halt and Catch Fire became a critical darling during its original run and earned the Certified Fresh label on Rotten Tomatoes, with scores climbing from 74% in Season 1 to an astounding 100% for the final chapter, but it never found a large audience. Its premiere only garnered 1.2 million same-day viewers, making it the least-watched drama series premiere in AMC’s modern history at the time, and viewership continued to decline with each subsequent season.

Yet critics recognized its brilliance immediately, repeatedly placing it on Best TV of the Year lists for outlets from Rolling Stone to The Hollywood Reporter. That rare trajectory, improving creatively with each season rather than declining, is now something streaming audiences can appreciate in full. Unlike most series that peak early and stumble toward mediocre finales, Halt and Catch Fire somehow got better and better, likely because the writers never forgot the show’s past. The final season doesn’t just wrap up storylines; it honors every character beat and relationship fracture from the previous episodes, building to a finale that feels both inevitable and earned. Now, more than a decade after its 2014 premiere, Halt and Catch Fire is finally gaining the attention it truly deserves, since viewers can binge all 40 episodes and experience the full scope of this underseen masterpiece without waiting. This streaming resurgence proves that great television doesn’t have an expiration date, and sometimes the best shows just need time to find their audience.
