'It is with a profoundly heavy heart that we report that this morning we lost Cameron,' a family rep said in a statement. 'He passed away in his sleep due to a seizure which was a result of an ongoing medical condition for which he was being treated. The world is now undoubtedly without one of its brightest lights, but his spirit will live on through the kindness and compassion of all who knew and loved him.
'We are utterly heartbroken and ask for privacy during this immensely difficult time as we grieve the loss of our precious son and brother,' they added.
Boyce's family started the Cameron Boyce Foundation in his honor, aiming to cure epilepsy by funding research, education and awareness campaigns.

Beyoncé Gets Another Shot At Thus Far Elusive Emmy Win
Beyoncé may be the most-awarded artist in Grammy history, but thus far the Emmy has eluded the artist who's currently touring her eighth studio album, Cowboy Carter. She gets another crack at the television honor this year. Her Netflix NFL halftime show Beyoncé Bowl was nominated for outstanding variety special (live), placing it in contention with two Saturday Night Live specials: SNL50: The Anniversary Special and SNL 50: The Homecoming Concert. Beyoncé Bowl, which the artist co-directed with Alex Rudzinski, landed a total of three nominations. Also nominated in the outstanding variety special (live) category are Apple Music Super Bowl LIX Halftime Show, which starred Kendrick Lamar, and The Oscars. The Oscars, which was hosted in 2024 by Jimmy Kimmel, won the award last year, besting The Apple Music Super Bowl LVIII Halftime Show Starring Usher, The 66th Grammy Awards, The Greatest Roast of All Time: Tom Brady and The 76th Annual Tony Awards. Beyonce's current Emmy nomination, announced July 15, brings her total to nine. She previously was nominated for her Homecoming documentary in the outstanding variety special (pre-recorded) in 2019, and Homecoming also picked up nominations for outstanding music direction and outstanding writing for a variety special. Other nominations include her Lemonade special (2016), which lost out to The Late Late Show Carpool Karaoke Prime Time Special in the outstanding variety, music or comedy special category and was also nominated that year for outstanding directing for a variety special; her On The Run Tour special (2015) for outstanding special class program; her Super Bowl halftime show (2013), in the outstanding short-format live-action entertainment program.

Jacob Misiorowski is an all-star just because he's popular? The horror.
The best new thing in baseball right now will have his moment Tuesday night at the All-Star Game, even as he conflicts with the worst thing about baseball. Rookie ace Jacob Misiorowski plays for the Milwaukee Brewers, though his body stretches long enough for him to moonlight as Giannis's teammate for that other Brew City franchise. Misiorowski's name might be as long as his frame, but it effortlessly shortens into one of those cool monikers that fit so well in headlines or on T-shirts. Though 'The Miz' has logged just five starts, he throws one of the hardest fastballs in the bigs.
