Details emerge about Julian McMahon's death in Florida after secret health battle
His wife, Kelly Paniagua, released a statement to Deadline on July 4 that McMahon had died two days prior in Clearwater, Fla., after a 'valiant effort to overcome cancer.'
Now we are learning more details of the extent of the actor's illness.
According to a report from the Pinellas County Medical Examiner's Office obtained by People magazine, the TV star died from lung metastasis, as a result of head and neck cancer. The death was ruled natural, and McMahon has since been cremated, the report adds.
'Julian loved life. He loved his family. He loved his friends. He loved his work, and he loved his fans. His deepest wish was to bring joy into as many lives as possible,' Paniagua said in her statement. 'We ask for support during this time to allow our family to grieve in privacy. And we wish for all of those to whom Julian brought joy, to continue to find joy in life. We are grateful for the memories.'
McMahon especially brought joy to us locals playing Dr. Christian Troy on 'Nip/Tuck,' a dark comedy about two plastic surgeons that aired on FX from 2003 to 2010. The first four seasons of Ryan Murphy's hit were set in Miami, before moving to Los Angeles.
McMahon's costars Dylan Walsh (who played his partner Dr. Sean McNamara) and Joely Richardson (McNamara's wife) honored their late costar after the news broke.
In a macabre statement, Walsh joked, 'Dear Jules, I know you like to flout the boundaries, but this time you've gone too far.'
Richardson was more reflective, posting on Instagram a scene from the show and the cover of the trio on the cover of TV Guide.
'I can't believe it. We worked together for many years, covering every possible storyline and then some,' said her caption. 'Julian could be hysterically funny, was hugely charismatic (drama swirled in his wake), and most of the female population fell for him as 'Christian Troy.''
McMahon is also survived by 25-year-old daughter Madison from his marriage to 'Baywatch' actress Brooke Burns.

LeBron James posts image of himself with Clippers logo in background
All of a sudden, not as many people are talking about LeBron James possibly asking the Los Angeles Lakers to trade him. That talk has largely subsided as the realities of how difficult it would be to pull off a trade that would land him on an instant title contender have seemingly sunk in. But many feel James has been dropping passive-aggressive hints that he may want to move on. Earlier this offseason, he had a couple of social media posts of himself in his native Ohio, including one at the Cleveland Cavaliers' facility. The latest such post shows him working out in a room that has the Los Angeles Clippers' logo positioned behind him. The accompanying caption on that Instagram post read as follows: "Say whatever you want but you damn sure won't be able to say I didn't put in the WORK!! . We'll see what happens when I no longer exist. Man [expletive] this [expletive]." This could be a big nothing as far as which team James will play for in the coming months, and it's always possible he's simply looking to mess with people who love to speculate about him. Of course, since it is him, and since he is infamously passive-aggressive, people will wonder what this post is really all about.

Paris Jackson vs Justin Long: Who has the higher net worth in 2025?
By Aman Shukla Published on August 1, 2025, 08:20 IST Paris Jackson and Justin Long have been making headlines—not just for their individual careers, but also for their recent split. The couple, who got engaged in late 2024, officially called off their engagement in July 2025, ending months of speculation and public appearances that hinted at trouble. Alongside the news of their breakup, fans are now curious: who has the higher net worth in 2025? This article dives into their estimated net worths in 2025. Paris Jackson's Net Worth in 2025 Paris Jackson's net worth in 2025 is estimated to range between $100 million and $150 million, according to various sources. Her wealth primarily stems from her inheritance from Michael Jackson's estate, which was valued at over $1 billion at the time of his death in 2009 and has grown to an estimated $2 billion by 2025. Paris, along with her siblings Prince and Blanket Jackson, receives periodic trust payouts, though the exact amounts remain confidential due to ongoing legal disputes, including an IRS valuation issue. Beyond her inheritance, Paris has carved out a diverse career as a singer, songwriter, model, and actress. Her music career includes her debut album Wilted (2020) and performances as an opening act for bands like Incubus and Manchester Orchestra in 2025, earning her an estimated $300,000–$500,000 from tour slots and merchandise. Her modeling work with brands like Calvin Klein and her 5.4 million Instagram followers generate $250,000–$300,000 annually through sponsored posts. Acting roles in projects like American Horror Stories , Swarm , and Sex Appeal further bolster her income. Real estate investments, such as her $3.8 million Hollywood Hills cabin-style estate purchased in 2022, also contribute to her wealth. Justin Long's Net Worth in 2025 Justin Long, Paris Jackson's former fiancé and a music producer, has an estimated net worth of $1 million to $5 million in 2025. While specific figures are less documented compared to Paris, his wealth is primarily derived from his work as a music producer and bandmate. Long has collaborated with various artists, contributing to albums and live performances, though his financial standing is significantly lower than Paris's due to the absence of a comparable inheritance or high-profile endorsements. His earnings come from music production, touring, and occasional media projects, but detailed breakdowns are scarce. Paris Jackson vs. Justin Long: Net Worth Comparison When comparing their net worths, Paris Jackson clearly holds a substantial lead. Her estimated $100–150 million fortune dwarfs Justin Long's $1–5 million, largely due to her massive inheritance from Michael Jackson's estate, supplemented by her successful career in music, modeling, and acting. Justin's income, while respectable for a music producer, lacks the scale of Paris's diverse revenue streams and inherited wealth.

Bobbi Althoff ends 'Really Good Podcast' with surprise final episode
Bobbi Althoff has said goodbye to "The Really Good Podcast" with a really out of the blue final episode. After over two years, the 28-year-old social media influencer has bid farewell to her podcast known for viral awkward celebrity interviews with stars from Drake and Scarlett Johansson to Mark Cuban. "Rest in peace, 'The Really Good Podcast.' It was a fun run," Althoff wrote on a Thursday, July 31 Instagram post that featured a snippet of the final episode. It opened with her singing Leonard Cohen's "Hallelujah." The Los Angeles native said the decision to pull the plug was entirely hers and not influenced by external factors. She explained that while she thought the podcast's lifespan would last longer, she is proud of the success she's received. "I don't think there's any really good way to say this, but this is the last episode," Althoff said in Thursday's episode, in which she wore a black dress. "So, today, we're gonna put on a little funeral for it." She then reflected on some of her popular deadpan interviews, including with Charlie Puth, Jason DeRulo, Shaq, Maluma, Jessica Alba, Michael Cera and Mark Maron. 'It has been a dream, every second of it' Althoff said the podcast has far exceeded her expectations. "This podcast started off with just a girl with a dream to make more money," she quipped. "I'm proud of the accomplishments I've had." Debuting in June 2023, "The Really Good Podcast" has frequently generated viral moments on social media, topped podcast charts and even landed Althoff an iHeart Podcast Award last year in the Best Emerging Podcast category. Arguably, her most popular interview was with rapper Drake on her bed that garnered over 1 billion views and 300 million likes before it was ultimately removed on all platforms, according to Deadline. Althoff seamlessly entered a field of beloved celebrity interview shows known for unconventional charm. They include Sean Evans's spicy wing themed "Hot Ones" to Amelia Dimoldenberg's flirtatious "Chicken Shop Date" series.
