Body Of 21-Year-Old Male Was Reportedly Found Hanging From Tree In Georgia Park
According to 11Alive, on Wednesday, February 18, authorities received a call “about a dead person in the wooded area” of Fair Oaks Park in Cobb County, Georgia. On Friday, February 20, Kyle Bassinga’s family confirmed that it was his body found.
Per the outlet, witnesses say Bassinga entered the wooded area at the park around 4:30 p.m. on Valentine’s Day. Furthermore, his family reported him missing on February 15.
“Right now, online speculation is the least of our worries. We are focused on burying our son and am happy to have found him,” Bassinga’s family reportedly told the press last week amid speculation around the nature of his death.
Authorities Reportedly Speak Out After Body Of 21-Year-Old Male Was Reportedly Found Hanging From A Tree In Georgia Park
On Monday, February 23, 11Alive reported that Bassinga’s death was officially ruled a suicide. Atlanta News First adds that Cobb County Police Chief Dan Ferrell has asserted that a “substantial amount of evidence” has been collected. This, reportedly including “video evidence, phone evidence, and witness interviews that [show] no indication of foul play.”
Cobb County Board of Commissioners Chairwoman Lisa Cupid also spoke out, addressing social media concerns of the case mirroring Jim Crow-era lynchings.
“This is a violent manner that has caused many to think of the days of slavery and of Jim Crow, and this type of violence shown toward African Americans, particularly men, during that historical time has caused many to respond to what is occurring with great disbelief… I hear you, I understand, and we are sensitive to that here in this county,” she reportedly explained. “We want to see the truth of the matter first for the family, who is deserving… as they go through their own grief at this time, but it’s also important for our community to know the truth.”
Atlanta News First added that, as of Monday, police were waiting to sit down with Bassinga’s family to share their findings.
“Once that meeting takes place, we will discuss releasing additional information to the public and put that context around exactly what happened, and I believe that will answer the questions that people have actually been posing,” Cobb County Police Chief Dan Ferrell reportedly noted.
Fox 5 Atlanta reports that on Tuesday, February 24, a vigil was held in honor of Kyle Bassinga. Furthermore, a GoFundMe has been launched to “honor his memory and guide him to a peaceful rest.” As of Friday, February 26, the campaign has raised more than $10,000 out of its $20,000 goal.

The Feud Lisa Rinna Says Nearly Broke Her
Lisa Rinna is no stranger to confrontation, but in her latest book, she’s turning the spotlight on a chapter of her career that she says pushed her to the edge.
While many fans assumed her harshest Hollywood clashes happened on reality TV, Rinna insists the real drama unfolded decades earlier on a daytime soap set.
In “You Better Believe I’m Gonna Talk About It,” she names the co-star she calls the “biggest bully,” and the experience still stings.

Lisa Rinna Says Her Worst Feud Wasn’t On Reality TV

Given Lisa Rinna’s explosive tenure on “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills,” readers might expect her most bitter rivalry to involve one of her fellow Housewives.
Instead, Rinna traces her most painful professional conflict back to the early 1990s, during her time on “Days of Our Lives.”
Rinna portrayed Billie Reed on the long-running soap from 1992 to 1995. Her primary on-screen storyline revolved around a romance with Bo Brady, played at the time by Robert Kelker-Kelly.
While their characters sizzled on screen, Rinna said the off-camera dynamic was anything but romantic. In her book, she addressed past accusations that she herself was Hollywood’s “biggest bully.”

She pushed back firmly, writing per the Daily Mail, “Remember when Kathy Hilton said I was the biggest bully in Hollywood? Not true. Not even close!”
She then added, “I have legit stories about the real bullies in this town. Robert Kelker-Kelly is one of those bullies.”

Rinna Describes A Hostile ‘Days Of Our Lives’ Set

Lisa Rinna did not mince words when recalling the environment she said she endured.
“Behind-the-scenes we hated each other,” she wrote, summarizing what she claimed was constant friction between the two actors.
According to the actress, the situation escalated beyond personality clashes. She wrote, “He made my life a living hell on the set of Days. He was horrible to me. I’d go so far as to say verbally abusive. He was passive-aggressive, manipulative, and played weird mind games.”
Rinna explained that the daily routine became emotionally draining, especially given the nature of their scenes. “I had to work with him every day, often half naked to do love scenes,” she noted.

If she didn’t comply with what she said were his demands, she claimed he would shut down communication. “If I didn’t do what he wanted, he’d give me the silent treatment,” she said.
The unpredictability, Rinna wrote, was the hardest part. “He was a ticking time bomb. I never knew when I arrived on set each morning if I’d get nice Robert Kelker-Kelly or dark Robert Kelker-Kelly. He was unpredictable, and it was exhausting.”

Lisa Rinna Says Security Was Brought In After His Exit

The tension reportedly came to an abrupt halt when Kelker-Kelly left the show. Rinna recalled his sudden departure vividly, noting, “Suddenly, one day, he disappeared from the Days set.”
However, what happened next surprised her even more. “Next thing I knew Kristian and I had our own full-time security detail,” she alleged, referring to co-star Kristian Alfonso, who played Hope Brady, another of Bo’s love interests.
Rinna said she personally did not feel physically threatened, noting, “I wasn’t worried about physical harm, but NBC had to cover their ass.”
According to her, the network assigned security outside their homes and trailers for several weeks and arranged transportation to and from work.
Rinna Previously Spoke About The On-Screen Chemistry

This isn’t the first time Lisa Rinna has discussed her difficult relationship with Kelker-Kelly.
During a 2015 interview with Bravo, she made her feelings unmistakably clear.
The 62-year-old stated that she “hated” Kelker-Kelly “with passion,” and he hated her with passion as well. Despite the hostility, their characters’ romance convinced viewers otherwise.
“We were a volatile combination, and it looked like love and sexual chemistry on camera, so that was some darn good acting right there,” she admitted.
Ironically, the intensity that fueled their conflict may also have contributed to the drama’s believability, keeping fans invested in Billie and Bo’s storyline.
After Kelker-Kelly’s exit, Peter Reckell, who originally played Bo Brady from 1983 to 1992, returned to the role.

Rinna eventually left the soap in 1995 and was replaced by Krista Allen.
Lisa Rinna Continued Her Soap Legacy And Expanded Her Career

Although her first run as Billie Reed ended in 1995, Rinna’s relationship with “Days of Our Lives” did not.
She returned to the show in 2002, again in 2012, and once more in 2018. She also appeared in the 2021 spin-off series “Days of Our Lives: Beyond Salem.”
Between those returns, she expanded her career into primetime, joining “Melrose Place” for its final three seasons.
Most recently, Rinna appeared in season four of “The Traitors,” continuing to reinvent herself decades after her soap debut.
On the other hand, Kelker-Kelly, after his “Days” departure, remained active in daytime television before eventually transitioning into aviation as a pilot and flight instructor.

Sullivan’s Crossing Season 4 Has Maggie Torn Between Cal, Secret Husband
Sullivan’s Crossing is coming back with a major love triangle as Maggie finds her genuinely torn between boyfriend Cal — and secret husband Liam.
The CW shared a teaser for season 4 on Wednesday, February 25, which showed Maggie (Morgan Kohan) having to explain to Cal (Chad Michael Murray) why she didn’t tell him about Liam (Marcus Rosner). In addition to Cal and Liam facing off while wood chopping, Liam appeared to grow closer to Maggie as they shared a tender moment in the present timeline.
“The vow she made or the life she chose,” read the message in the sneak peek.
Based on the book series by Robyn Carr, Sullivan’s Crossing follows neurosurgeon Maggie after she moves back home to rural Nova Scotia to reconnect with her estranged father, Sully (Scott Patterson). The brief getaway turns into Maggie making plans for a future in Sullivan’s Crossing with love interest Cal.
Season 3 of the hit series, which started streaming on Netflix in August 2025, threw a wrench in Maggie and Cal’s relationship just as they were getting to a good place. After arguing about whether Maggie was taking things too slow, they made plans to move in together — just as a new guest named Liam checked into Sullivan’s Crossing.
Liam then approached Maggie and revealed he was her husband, which came as a surprise to both Cal and Us. Showrunner Roma Roth later teased what viewers could expect from the show moving forward after the shocking reveal.

“I’m absolutely thrilled that Sullivan’s Crossing is returning for a fourth season,” Roth said in a statement after the finale aired. “Seeing it resonate with a global audience and watching the ratings climb have been a dream come true. Season 4 will explore themes of change and transformation so you can expect a whole new set of exciting and emotional challenges for Maggie and Cal.”
Kohan also shared her reaction to the twist.
“I remember hearing a little bit [about Liam early in season 3]. I didn’t know they were married,” Kohan told Swooon in July 2025. “There started to be talk when we filmed the scene with Lola and having summer flings. I knew that he was going to be coming into it, but I didn’t really know when or in what capacity. That cliffhanger was so much fun for me to read as well.”
Kohan acknowledged that Maggie’s trepidation about getting serious with Cal could have come from her past with Liam, adding, “I feel like it came up so last minute that I didn’t really have time to think about it, but I think it definitely would. It makes a lot more sense, for sure, for her to be more hesitant.”
The actress noted that she was just as in the dark about Liam’s role in season 4 as the audience.
“At the same time, I still don’t know the history, so who knows when we get to find out a bit more of that information, what he really means that he’s her husband and all that kind of stuff,” she continued. “I mean, there’s gonna have to be a few conversations had [between Maggie and Cal]. It’s going to be a trust thing to have to build up again because that is a pretty big thing to leave out.”
Sullivan’s Crossing is currently streaming on Netflix. Season 4 premieres April 20 on The CW.

Bruce Campbell’s Forgotten, R-Rated 90s Thriller Is Pure Cult Paranoia
By Robert Scucci
| Published

The beauty of Bruce Campbell and Sam Raimi produced films is that you always know what you’re getting into. You get weird characters thrust into even weirder situations, and you have to rely on their charm to carry you through whatever chaotic premise the screenplay lays out. More often than not, outings from this era, like 1991’s Lunatics: A Love Story, are extremely low budget, low brow, and high concept, and you just have to roll with it.
Written and directed by Josh Becker, and starring Ted Raimi and Deborah Foreman, Lunatics: A Love Story centers on agoraphobic machinations, giant spider monsters, call girl hotlines, and misguided romance. Set almost entirely inside a run-down Los Angeles apartment wrapped in tin foil, we catch a glimpse of just how far one man’s mind can spiral when he needs companionship the most, resulting in romantic exchanges that are baffling to say the least.
The Dangers That Await Outside

Lunatics: A Love Story, despite its 87-minute runtime, takes a while to get going. We’re first introduced to Hank (Ted Raimi), a recluse who hasn’t left his apartment in over six months. His neighbors have never seen him, and the mail carrier who stops by daily is irritated because he never comes downstairs to collect his correspondence. The inside of Hank’s apartment looks exactly how you’d expect. His door has multiple locks, and his walls are wrapped in foil.
Though we don’t know the exact reason Hank has become so isolated, it’s established early on that he has nightmares about spiders crawling on his brain, and a masked doctor (portrayed by Bruce Campbell) chasing him with comically large needles filled with mysterious fluids.

Meanwhile, across town, Nancy (Deborah Foreman) faces her own obstacles. She’s dumped by her boyfriend Ray (also Bruce Campbell) and kicked out of the hotel she’s staying at after he steals her money on his way out, leaving her unable to pay for the room. While wandering the streets, she’s attacked by a group of thugs and seeks refuge in a nearby payphone at the exact same time Hank is dialing out to call a sex hotline.
By sheer coincidence, or maybe something cosmic is at play, the payphone rings when Hank dials, and Nancy picks it up. He invites her to his apartment because he needs company. Up until this point, he’s been hallucinating rappers who forcibly scratch beats on his turntable using his face, and intruders trying to breach his front door with a bone saw.

When Nancy takes Hank up on his offer, they finally sit down and talk through their problems, both terrified of the horrors, real and imagined, that await them outside.
One Glaring Problem
It goes without saying that any fan of Bruce Campbell and the Raimi brothers’ unhinged style of filmmaking will enjoy the creature design and schlocky special effects that Lunatics: A Love Story has to offer. There’s always a manic charm you can get behind if you know what you’re signing up for, and this film is no exception.

Narratively speaking, though, the film falls apart for one specific reason. It takes nearly 40 minutes for our two protagonists to cross paths, meaning there’s very little time for them to establish trust, become friends, and hit things off in a believable way. Given just how unhinged Hank is at the beginning of the film, it’s wildly improbable that somebody like Nancy would not only enter his apartment, but stick around for more than five minutes given how uncomfortable the setting is.
Then again, I’m not seeking out movies like Lunatics: A Love Story for a tight screenplay that makes logical sense. I seek out movies like this because I want to watch somebody go off the deep end while whoever gets dragged into his chaotic life by happenstance tries to make sense of everything. If that’s what you’re looking for, you’ll have a great time watching Hank finally suit up in his tin foil armor and make his way into the Los Angeles streets, where he hallucinates giant spiders, encounters the gang members tormenting Nancy, and completely loses his mind in the process.

All the elements of an insane, low-budget Raimi and Campbell production are here, and writer-director Josh Becker couldn’t have asked for a better team to help realize his vision, as bootstrapped as it may be. What you get is a fun, quick trip into the mind of a deeply unstable man searching for a romantic partner in his increasingly closed-off life, and it works shockingly well within that framework.

To witness all of the low-budget, genre-bending charm that Lunatics: A Love Story has to offer, you can stream the title for free on Tubi as of this writing.

Kash Doll Reacts To Allegations Of Being “Materialistic”
Kash Doll isn’t worried about what the internet has to say about her spending habits, especially when it comes to her daughter, Klarity Doll. The rapper recently went viral after an online user accused her of being “materialistic,” and others weighed in. Amid the chatter, Kash seemingly made it clear where she stands on the internet, pocket-watching her!

Internet User Weighs In On Kash Doll
As mentioned, the conversation about Kash Doll flexing her riches started with a reaction to a blog tweet. On X, Wave Checkers posted Kash unboxing of a pair of pink Moon boots for Klarity, who is one and turning two in June. The post from Feb. 23 has over 2.4 million views, and 384 retweets with more than 100 comments. One of those reactions came from X user, @MuvaofGotti who went in about how Kash spends her coins! “She’s so materialistic that it isn’t even fun anymore and I love her down but it gets to a point…..,” the user wrote.
But that account wasn’t the only one with a similar take on Kash’s love for high-end looks. For context, pink Moon boots for a child Klarity Doll’s size be cost between $110 and $200. For example, @Jaymalone___ wrote, “Making her materialistic lol she isn’t even interested in those shoes ‘oooohhh mammaaaaa’ hush lol.” Others commented on Klarity’s facial expressions.

Rapper Speaks Out Amid The Pocket-Watching
While some replies were cooking Kash Doll, others seemed to understand and even applaud how hard she goes behind Klarity. @BigNaefpwr, for example, said: “When you become a mother, your favorite thing to do is dress your kid lol I feel her on this. Keep spoiling her.” Kash responded to that particular tweet, saying:
“Girl I ain’t thinking bout the less fortunate.”
Additionally, the rapper reposted the post from Wave Checkers and a fan quoting her.
Girl, I ain’t thinking about the less fortunate. –@kashdoll

Kash Doll’s unbothered energy isn’t too surprising since she has used the “materialistic” label on herself in the past. Matter fact, less than a month ago, the rapper hopped on X to affirm she’s first in line for materials.
“In this generation full of materialistic girls who only care about their outfit, looks, career and money, I’m the first in line.💅🏾”

The Raunchiest, R-Rated Comedy Of The 1980s Can’t Be Watched, Erased From Existence
By Robert Scucci
| Published

Growing up in the 90s, you could watch 1984’s Revenge of the Nerds with ease through multiple touch points. If you were fortunate enough to have access to the premium movie channels, you’d catch it in all of its uncensored glory behind your parents’ backs. If you had Comedy Central, you’d bear witness to a stripped-down version that lost the nudity but still got its point across.
These days, Revenge of the Nerds, starring the late, great Robert Carradine, is nowhere to be found. It’s not on streaming, and it’s not available for on-demand purchases or rentals, reportedly because its controversial content makes it less than desirable for modern streaming libraries to showcase.

You can still purchase physical copies of Revenge of the Nerds if it’s missing from your collection, but it’s out of print, with 2018 being the last time it got a release. An average casual viewer who gets the urge to revisit it might not even own a DVD player. Most people no longer do.
On one hand, I understand the sensitivity surrounding that one scene that aged like milk. On the other hand, we live in a world where streaming companies pump out droves of content to cash in on memberships and ad revenue. Heck, Invasion of the Star Creatures goes hard in its careless depiction of Native Americans and remains readily available for modern audiences.

All you really need is a disclaimer at the front of the film stating that “awareness of yesterday’s prejudice and its lasting effects can be enhanced when that prejudice is viewed through the lens of the entertainment that informed it.” Then you let people decide for themselves.
Nobody in their right mind would condone some of the more risqué behavior depicted in Revenge of the Nerds, but its overall messaging is wholesome and empowering in its own twisted way. It’s a film about celebrating your eccentricities and rising above adversity so you can become the fully realized, best version of yourself.
Joke’s On You, It’s Revenge Of The Nerds!

Revenge of the Nerds is a classic underdog story through and through. When Lewis Skolnick (Robert Carradine) and his best friend Gilbert Lowe (Anthony Edwards) arrive at Adams College, they’re immediately ostracized for being nerds.
When the jocks, led by Stan Gable (Ted McGinley), accidentally burn down their own house thanks to a party trick involving high-proof alcohol, a lighter, and highly combustible curtains, Coach Harris (John Goodman) bullies Dean Ulich (David Wohl) into letting them take over the freshman dorms. Nerds like Lewis, Gilbert, Arnold Poindexter (Timothy Busfield), Harold Wormser (Andrew Cassese), Dudley “Booger” Dawson (Curtis Armstrong), Lamar Latrelle (Larry B. Scott), and Toshiro Takashi (Brian Tochi) are relegated to living in the gymnasium until they can join fraternities that will house them.

The problem is that the nerd stigma is wide in scope, so the gang of misfits winds up securing and renovating their own house to the tune of “One Foot in Front of the Other” by Bone Symphony. Thanks to a loophole discovered by Poindexter, they join an all-Black fraternity known as Lambda, Lambda, Lambda, or the Tri-Lambs, on a probationary basis. Despite this progress, they’re still relentlessly bullied, which means they eventually have to stand up for themselves against the Alpha Betas, led by Stan, and the Pi Delta Pis, represented by Stan’s girlfriend, Betty Childs (Julia Montgomery).
At this point in Revenge of the Nerds, it’s game on. To be properly represented by the Greek Council, the nerds need to win the Greek Games, and they might just be smart enough to pull it off. Building toward that triumphant moment, there are panty raids, petty vandalism, and increasingly invasive measures taken in the name of self-preservation, culminating in that one scene.
That One Scene

While most of the antics in Revenge of the Nerds are par for the course in the raunchy R-rated college movie wheelhouse, one scene pushes things too far, and it’s likely the main reason you can’t watch the film online. In it, Lewis plays a prank on Betty that I’ll tastefully refer to as a game of sexual switcheroo. He dresses up in Stan’s costume, approaches her with romantic intent, and succeeds. Betty, initially surprised and understandably upset, ultimately expresses admiration when she learns that all jocks ever think about is sports, while all nerds ever think about is sex.
Don’t get this twisted. It’s a bad scene. It’s deceptive, it objectifies women, and it’s executed in bad faith. However, I don’t think the intention of Revenge of the Nerds was to celebrate that behavior. Like I said earlier, the humor was informed by the cultural zeitgeist that spawned it. To an extent, people acted like this. I’m not glad they did. But if art imitates life, then there’s a kernel of truth in Revenge of the Nerds about the terrible decisions unsupervised young adults can make on a college campus.

Even as a kid, the scene rubbed me the wrong way. It’s not a good look, and it doesn’t do the nerds any favors because it brings them down to the jocks’ level in how they’re depicted as villains. On its own, it’s tasteless. Then you remember that just a few scenes earlier, the nerds rigged the Pi Delta Pi house with video cameras to spy on them and snap nude photos that end up lining the pie tins they sell at the Greek Games, which is also in poor taste, but again, a product of its time, like Porky’s, which we still have digital access to.
Reprehensible, But A Product Of Its Time
No well-adjusted adult celebrates Revenge of the Nerds for those scenes specifically, but they happened, and they exist. They’re hard to watch, yes, but isn’t it also a good thing that we’ve come far enough as a society to recognize the errors of our ways? It’s a conversation worth having about our relationship with media and how older intellectual property can be out of date when it tackles topics like how we treat each other.

If anything, removing “Revenge of the Nerds” from the streaming lexicon does us a disservice, because we lose the context that allows these conversations to happen. It’s a cinematic benchmark of where we came from, something we can measure against where we are now. Without that benchmark, we’re less likely to bow our heads in shame and say we’ll do better.
For that reason alone, it’s a shame that Robert Carradine’s triumphant movie about overcoming adversity can’t be easily accessed. Some aspects of the film didn’t age well, sure, but its messaging, and that one scene notwithstanding, still lands as positive and empowering by the time the credits roll.


As of this writing, Revenge of the Nerds cannot be streamed or purchased digitally.
