Sophia Hutchins' Cause of Death Revealed
More information has come to light about Sophia Hutchins' tragic death.
Two weeks after the longtime friend and manager of died in an ATV accident in Southern California, the County of Los Angeles Medical Examiner's Office confirmed in a report that her cause of death was multiple blunt force injuries.
Her manner of death was determined to be accidental.
In the moments before the fatal July 2 incident, the 29-year-old—who was driving a 2013 Polaris four-wheeler—rear-ended a 2016 Mazda sedan in the mountains of Malibu, the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department told the Daily Mail, before falling off a 350-foot cliff.
"It doesn't seem like she was following them," Malibu/Lost Hills Sergeant Eduardo Saucedo explained to the outlet, noting that there were two uninjured females in the car. "I think she just came up on them and then hit the car."
"It looked like she tried to maneuver to go around it," he continued, "but she was going too fast and just ended up clipping the rear end of that Mazda, causing her to veer off and go off the cliff there."

The Pepperdine University graduate's body has since been laid to rest, per documents obtained by TMZ, at Holy Cross Catholic Cemetery in Culver City, California.
For her part, Caitlyn—who recently made a rare appearance to support her and Linda Thompson's son Brody Jenner on his wedding day—expressed to the Daily Mail that she's been navigating 'tough times' since losing one of her closest friends.
After all, her bond with the late Olympian began a decade ago when they were introduced by a makeup artist.
"Having a similar sense of humor, we spent the entire time laughing and ended up meeting for brunch," Sophia told The New York Times of their relationship in 2019. "We've been great friends ever since."
And before long, the pair's bond extended into their professional lives.
"I saw nobody was managing her, and there were all these people taking massive advantage," she continued. "I was saying, 'Caitlyn, if I don't step in here and start managing you, you're going to go broke.'"
From then on, the reality star described Sophia as nothing less than her 'best friend, family and confidant.'
"She is one of the top minds in her field," the 75-year-old gushed to the outlet. "Her value in my life is undeniable. The sky is the limit with her entrepreneurial spirit."

Seth Rollins Provides Update On Knee Injury, How Long He'll Be Out
Seth Rollins continues to see the silver lining in certain situations. Rollins hurt his knee at WWE Saturday Night's Main Event last weekend. His match against LA Knight went to an improvised finish after doctors checked on him. During the Evolution post-show press conference, Triple H spoke about Seth Rollins' current condition. He said Rollins traveled to WWE Evolution to support his wife, Becky Lynch, and would be in Birmingham the next day to undergo an MRI for his injury. However, Seth Rollins says he couldn't have the MRI during a guest-hosting gig on Tuesday's episode of The Rich Eisen Show. Rollins said that despite traveling to Birmingham on Monday, he didn't undergo the MRI because his knee was too swollen to determine the cause of the issue. Seth Rollins expects to be out of action for a while Despite that, Rollins knows how the injury happened. He explained that when he attempted a moonsault, he felt his knee 'pop and buckle' on the landing. Rollins said he is still scheduled to undergo more screenings soon in Los Angeles. While he doesn't have a firm timeline, he expects he will be 'out for an extended period of time.' 'It was a little too swollen, so hopefully we're going to take another look in a week or two here in LA to try and get some sort of firm diagnosis and then we can go from there. I am not a doctor, I only know my body and what I feel. And what I feel is this is going to be me out for an extended period of time.' Despite missing time, Rollins said that the silver lining of the situation is that he gets to spend more time at home with his daughter, Roux, while he recovers from the knee injury. He also hopes he makes it back for WrestleMania, but he won't have any answers until they take another look at his knee. Seth Rollins' knee injury had a domino effect on Saturday Night's Main Event Seth Rollins' knee injury resulted in a few changes in WWE's plans at WWE Saturday Night's Main Event. This includes the impromptu finish of the match, but also affected the timing of some of the segments that followed. According to a new report from Fightful (via Fightful Select), one of the audibles included the main event. Goldberg's post-match speech also got cut off early due to WWE having a hard out time on NBC. Catch up on everything that went down at WWE Saturday Night's Main Event here.

How ‘Clueless' bucked the trope of the rich mean girl
A girl who appears to have everything must at least be in want of sympathy. That's what Jane Austen assumed about her fictional heroine Emma Woodhouse, whom, the author reportedly declared, 'no one but myself will much like.' How many people could fall for a heroine who's not only handsome and clever but 'rich, with a comfortable home' and who has 'very little to distress or vex her?' Legions, it turns out. Including after the character's transplant to 1995 Beverly Hills, where the high-gloss perfection of her everyday life raises the opening question, 'Is this, like, a Noxzema commercial or what?' 'Clueless,' which turns 30 this week, remains an exception among teen movies the same way its literary inspiration, 'Emma,' marked a radical turn in the tradition of the European novel when it was published in 1815. Then as now, young, wealthy female characters were, if not altogether mean, at least not often rendered as deserving of our affection. Subscribe to The Post Most newsletter for the most important and interesting stories from The Washington Post. From Heather Chandler to Regina George, moneyed girls in high school movies tend to be deliciously coiffed villains, while those of humbler means and countenance, such as Andie Walsh ('Pretty in Pink') and Laney Boggs ('She's All That'), harbor innate goodness. But the movie's Cher Horowitz is a radiant anomaly, decked in head-to-toe designer duds and played by Alicia Silverstone, fresh off her breakthrough stint writhing around in convertibles in Aerosmith music videos. Plenty of teen movie heroines have been comfortably middle class, but the fabulously affluent kind are rare and briefly became something of a microtrend: There would be no Elle Woods marching off to Harvard Law in pink leather (in 2001's 'Legally Blonde') without a plaid-clad Cher arguing away her lowball grades. Pop culture lately has an appetite for eating the rich. But writer-director Amy Heckerling makes a clear distinction in 'Clueless' that seems nearly impossible today: The wealthy world Cher inhabits is the subject of the film's playful satire - not the ingenue herself. Cher is beautiful, popular and maybe not quite as clever as Emma, though she has her moments. But like Emma, Cher isn't overly conceited about her outward advantages. As Mr. Knightley (the model for Paul Rudd's Josh) observes of his future wife early in Austen's novel, 'considering how very handsome she is, she appears to be little occupied with it; her vanity lies another way.' Emma is vain in assuming she knows what's best for others when she acts on their behalf - out of a caring instinct that leads, time and again, to misunderstanding and folly. She has leisure to meddle in the romantic affairs of her friends because, unlike Elizabeth Bennet (of 'Pride and Prejudice') or Fanny Price (of 'Mansfield Park') before her, Emma doesn't need to marry to secure her fortune. Freed from the economic constraints of the conventional marriage plot, Emma has room to make mistakes, delude herself (and poor Harriet Smith, the primary casualty of her misguided matchmaking) and come around to love without the burden of necessity. 'Single women have a dreadful propensity for being poor,' Austen wrote in a letter to her niece, Fanny Knight, 'which is one very strong argument in favor of matrimony.' That same Fanny K., on encountering her aunt's sole protagonist of independent means, confessed that she 'could not bear Emma herself,' an opinion hand-noted by Austen on a page currently displayed at the Morgan Library and Museum, where the exhibit 'A Lively Mind: Jane Austen at 250,' commemorating the anniversary of the author's birth, runs through Sept. 14. Like most of Austen's intimates, Fanny rated 'Emma' 'not so well as either P&P or MP,' referring by initials to the novel's immediate predecessors, though she found Mr. Knightly 'delightful.' Austen's frequent confidante, Anne Sharp, gave perhaps the best praise of all, being 'pleased with the Heroine for her Originality.' W.H. Auden, reflecting on Austen's work in 'Letter to Lord Byron,' shuddered at her clear-eyed treatment of matrimony's financial incentives: 'It makes me most uncomfortable to see/ An English spinster of the middle-class/ Describe the amorous effects of 'brass'/ Reveal so frankly and with such sobriety/ The economic basis of society.' The young women of '90s Los Angeles aren't mating under pressure for survival, as so many of Austen's characters did in Regency England. But Heckerling's delightful skewering of social hierarchies and material excess - which includes everyone palming a cellphone the size of a stapler - is part of what makes 'Clueless' such a brilliant and enduring adaptation. (The 2022 film 'Fire Island' approaches similar sophistication, drawing from 'Pride and Prejudice' to illustrate status-obsession among queer men.) Ceilings soar, nose-job bandages are everywhere and the fashion, by costume designer Mona May, holds up a fun house mirror to Rodeo Drive. Such flourishes are still funny today because they're so deliriously over the top. But at the start of the first dot-com boom, all that ostentation was aspirational, too. Crucially, how anyone comes upon money in 'Clueless' is less important than having gobs of it to spend. But Cher's peculiar likability - how she manages, like Emma in Knightley's estimation, to be 'faultless in spite of all her faults' - is what makes her so difficult to replicate. Partly, that's because of Silverstone's high-pitched, puppy-dog performance, which included serendipities (such as the 18-year-old's unscripted mispronouncing of 'Haitians') that make the character's naivete indelible. Cher's limits of perception are guileless. There's an innocence about her - she's a virgin with a good heart who can't drive - that makes viewers as protective of Cher as her guard-dog father (Dan Hedaya) and do-gooder stepbrother-turned-love interest (Rudd). Could we love a character like Cher today, when the only quality less endearing than an abundance of privilege is being ignorant of it? Consider Olivia Mossbacher, Sydney Sweeney's deadpan manipulator in Season 1 of 'The White Lotus,' whose awareness of her family's advantages drips from every blank stare over her copy of 'The Portable Nietzsche.' (Incidentally, Josh also reads Nietzsche by the pool.) There's still an aspirational allure - call it privilege porn - to the HBO series and other recent satires of extreme wealth. But there's a reason so many of them ('Saltburn,' 'Triangle of Sadness,' 'Bodies Bodies Bodies') also involve murder: We're past the point when laughter alone expresses our distaste for disparity. Still, Cher Horowitz aspires to live on in the present. A stage musical adaptation, a passion project of Heckerling's, played off Broadway in 2018, and a revised version (with music by KT Tunstall) is running in London through Aug. 23 following its premiere last summer. And Silverstone herself is slated to reprise her role in a sequel series reportedly in development at Peacock, from the co-creators of 'Gossip Girl,' a far more ironic take on the genre. Can the heroine who already has everything enjoy yet another comeback? That depends how clueless she could possibly remain about having the one advantage that still matters most.

Danielle Fishel reveals she still has some of the hair she chopped off nearly 30 years ago on 'Boy Meets World': 'I have the biggest chunk!'
Topanga's big chop was an iconic moment in the Boy Meets World universe — and Danielle Fishel said her mom kept a memento of it after all these years. Fishel, who played Topanga, previously discussed sharing her locks with in-studio audience members after she snipped her hair during the season 4 episode "Hair Today, Goon Tomorrow." But to her surprise, Fishel discovered that she hadn't gotten rid of all the strands. On the most recent episode of Pod Meets World, the actress said her mother, who kept all of her Boy Meets World memorabilia, recently gave her a chunk from that nearly 30-year-old episode. "I have the biggest chunk," she said. On the show, Topanga tries to make a statement about vanity by chopping off her beautiful, long hair, but it backfires as the teen spirals out of insecurity. In real life, Fishel had wanted to get her "first adult haircut" for months before the episode, but the producers wouldn't let her touch her head until they could write it into the show. Even after the producers agreed to let her cut her hair, Fishel said they argued over the length. "It was an actual negotiation," she said in a previous episode of the podcast. "And there was a lot of stress about whether or not I was gonna listen because [they] knew I had all the power with the scissors in my hands." The audience gasped when she snipped her real hair, but they were eager to get a piece after the taping ended. Now, Fishel is uninterested in sharing the rest of the loot with others. After costar Will Friedle suggested auctioning off the hair for charity, Fishel shut down the idea. "Whoever buys that, what do they do with it?" she asked. Instead, Topanga's iconic chopped hair will remain in her garage for the rest of her life — or until Fishel's kids clean it out of the house. Listen to the entire episode of Pod Meets World below.
