Comedic TikTok star whose ‘videos brought joy to the world' dies at 47
Crawley died on Monday, Aug. 18 at the North Mississippi Medical Center in Tupelo, Mississippi, according to his obituary. His death was also announced via a GoFundMe that was created that by his friend and former podcast cohost, Anthony Caruso.
'I'm really sorry to tell everyone the bad news but Pimpmunkx (KingBeardx) passed away yesterday,' an update on the campaign page read. 'Thank you to everyone that has supported the fundraiser so far. His mother told me to thank you all. The fundraiser will continue to go on to support fundraising a funeral/helping John's mother.'
The social media star was known for his fluffy beard and comical food reaction videos that he shared on TikTok and Instagram. One of his top videos on TikTok, which has gotten 44 million views, shows Crawley hilariously responding to someone showing 'the correct way' to eat a cinnamon roll by unravelling it from the center. Crawley had more than 3.5 million across his platforms.
His death came after he was hospitalized for breathing difficulties two weeks ago, according to the GoFundMe.
'He went to the hospital; he was having trouble breathing. Doctors put him on a ventilator… we went past 66% (O2 levels) and he stopped breathing," a family member wrote on the campaign page. 'They (put him into the ICU and) brought it back up to 100% (O2 levels). He just had a tube placed in his chest… his breathing condition is still very bad.'
Tributes were left for the late content creator on both the GoFundMe and his obituary.
'Mr Cinamininin your videos brought joy to the world with love, laughter and your humour,' one tribute read. 'You will be sorely missed, sending healing love to all who knew him.'
'Mr. Crawley was my favorite influencer, to millions of others the same. I was so disappointed when I saw that he had passed,' another tribute read. 'I'm so emotional writing this even though I didn't know him. Rest in piece John, heaven will be delighted to have you.'

Jamie Lee Curtis Responds To Viral Freaky Friday Video
Jamie Lee Curtis's "Freaky" costume went viral for two reasons. On Aug. 15, Jamie attended a special Freakier Friday screening at the El Capitan Theatre in Los Angeles, where guests were encouraged to "Dress Like Tess [Coleman]," Jamie's character from the movies. Jamie shared a group photo with several attendees on her Instagram, each dressed in pixie wigs and bohemian flower dresses like Tess from the first Freaky Friday movie. "THE ULTIMATE OF HONORS, the SINCEREST form of flattery," Jamie wrote in the caption of the Aug. 15 post. "There was a #dressliketess GATHERING @elcapitanthtre and I the LUCKY LOS ANGELINA to be a PART OF THE LOVEFEST for the O.G. #freakyfriday and her 22 year older #freakierfriday." Jamie joined in on the fun, dressing up in one of Tess's outfits from the sequel — an off-the-shoulder, safety-pinned gray suit with a large black belt. After Jamie's outfit went viral, she playfully chimed, writing in a Aug. 20 Instagram post, "I LOVE the fact that the LAST photograph of me as TESS taken backstage in costume from my surprise appearance at @elcapitanthtre to support #freakierfriday has gotten more attention than any other since the announcement post with @lindsaylohan that sparked the movie getting made! HAPPY TO HELP SPREAD THE JOY THAT OUR MOVIE SERVES!" The Freakier Friday "Tess" outfit went viral on TikTok after Disney Studios shared a promotional video featuring Jamie, with everyone obsessing over her "supporting characters." One user wrote, "Wait. Why didn't I know Jamie Lee Curtis' body was tea like that." Another person said, "I was not familiar with your game before Jamie Lee Curtis." "Jamie said we selling tickets one way or another," someone else wrote. This person said, "Jamie Lee Curtis aging like fine wine." Finally, someone else chimed in, writing, "Y'all have been sleeping on Ms. Jamie Lee Curtis??? She's ALWAYS been a stunner." Jamie Lee Curtis knows she's that girl.

18 Rude Celebrity Encounters Other Famous People Had
Dealing with rude people is, unfortunately, part of life. Some people get a reputation for being unpleasant, but sometimes, one person's experience with a "rude" person may be totally different than others'. Here are 18 times famous people called out the worst or rudest celebrities they've met: On a 2015 episode of Watch What Happens Live!, Bill Hader and Jay Pharoah revealed that the worst Saturday Night Live host they worked with was Justin Bieber, who hosted the show in 2013. Here's the full clip: On a 2023 episode of her podcast Bitch Sesh, Casey Wilson said that her costar Tim Allen was "such a bitch" to work with on The Santa Clauses. She called it the "worst, truly single worst experience [she's] ever had with a costar ever." She said, "[In our scene] I'm supposed to throw things at him. He's coming down the chimney, obviously as Santa. And I am woken up thinking there's an intruder — basically like a home invasion scene...I basically hear him — he goes, 'You gotta tell her to stop stepping on my lines.' The producer turns to me with horror on his face and has to walk one foot to me, and he goes, 'Tim would ask that you stopped stepping on his lines.'"She also claimed he was "so fucking rude" to her post-filming and "never made eye contact, never said anything." In a 2022 TikTok, JoJo Siwa revealed that the "rudest celebrity" she's ever met is Candace Cameron Bure. In an Instagram video, Candace responded, "I immediately tried to reach out to her through mutual friends, and my publicist contacted her manager, and I DM'd her because I didn't know what happened — I didn't know! [JoJo] actually didn't want to tell me [what had happened] because she said it's so silly, she felt bad, and that's why it just wasn't a big deal to her. But then she said, 'I met you at the Fuller House premiere when I was 11 years old, and we were all on the red carpet. I had come up to you and said, "Can I have a picture with you?" and you said to me, "Not right now." And then proceeded to do what you were doing and take pictures with other people on the red carpet.'"She said that she apologized to JoJo, who purpotedly told her, "Yeah, you weren't even mean, and I get it now as an adult — when you're on the red carpet and everything's happening and you're being pulled in different directions. But at that time, I was 11."Candace said, "I told JoJo how much I've always appreciated her because she has been a good role model because of her positivity throughout her whole life and career. She said she still loves watching Full House and watches it to fall asleep, and it's a comfort show for her, so we had all the feels, and it was all good, and there's no drama."Then, JoJo told Page Six, "I had a rough experience when I was little. I was 11, and I was a big, big fan, and I wanted to take a picture with her, and it wasn't a good time for her. I will say because I had a bad experience, that doesn't mean that she is an awful human. I think it just was an inconvenient time for her, and little 11-year-old me was just so pumped up and so excited, but that doesn't mean she's the worst human ever." Appearing on The Big Narstie Show in 2022, Mel B called out a few "dickhead" celebrities she's met — James Corden, her Spice Girls bandmate Geri Halliwell, Jessie J, and herself. Here's the full clip, with this part starting at the 0:38 mark: In her 2016 book Kathy Griffin's Celebrity Run-Ins, Kathy Griffin wrote, "You'll never convince me to like Jon Hamm. The vibe I've always gotten from him is cold and somewhat disrespectful…toward me. I'm suggesting he's one of these hot guys who's mildly funny but actually thinks he's comedian-level funny." She described an encounter they had at a dinner party where she was trying to talk to Jack wrote, "So when Hammy showed up, too, inside I thought, oh great. He even said to me, 'What are you doing here?' I said, 'I earned my seat at the table. What are you doing here?'...Hammy picks that moment [I was talking to Jack] to start whispering boozy yammering into my ear. First it was, 'You know your Emmy isn't a real Emmy.' I let that one go, but then he whispered, 'You're so o-o-o-old.' Look, I've been told I'm old and not funny by a lot of guys — a lot of hot guys, too — but not when I'm in an intimate conversation space with frickin' Jack Nicholson, an opportunity I figured I'd never get again; that's the real reason I can't stand Hammy. The double whammy of cruel but not playful comments and the horrible timing. Again, he's not a comedian, folks. Hopefully done with the drink, but probably still Don Draper-y." In Kathy Griffin's Celebrity Run-Ins, Kathy Griffin also shared that Ashton Kutcher was rude to her when they co-hosted a charity event in 2005. She wrote, "At least three separate times, we were standing in the wings, waiting to go out and present, and I'd say something like, 'Hey, what if, when we go out, we do this…,' and suggest something, and he'd just ignore me. If he said five words to me the whole day, I'd be surprised. It was bizarre and rude and made me feel as if he thought I was beneath him, someone not worth talking to in the slightest." She also said that, in 2008, she told him hello at a local restaurant, but he didn't respond. She said, "If you won't say hi to me in the Mexican takeout joint, you're a d-bag."She also alleged he was rude to her at a party. She wrote, "Kutcher stepped directly in front of me and started talking to Diddy as if I wasn't even there. So that's three incidents. Do I loathe him? No. He's just someone who's made it perfectly clear to me that I have absolutely nothing to offer him during his precious time on earth." Playing a game of "Stir the Pot" on E! News in 2023, Sharon Osbourne shared that Ashton Kutcher is the rudest celebrity she's ever met. Back in 2018, Sharon told Larry King Now, "I didn't get on with him at all [on The Talk]...Bad attitude for me, for me, 'cause I got his name wrong. He was pissed! And he comes on with an attitude, and he goes, 'What have you done in this industry?' And I was like, 'Kid, don't start with me. 'Cause I'm gonna eat you up and shit you out.' I was just like, 'You don't know what you're dealing with, kid.'" Here's the full clip, with this part starting at the 1:14 mark: On a 2023 episode of Fifi, Fev & Nick for Breakfast, radio host/TV presenter Fifi Box said, "Sharon Osborne has come out and said Ashton Kutcher is one of the least likeable celebrities she's ever met. Now what's interesting about that is — and I have to say, everybody has bad days so when you get asked about the rudest celebrity you've got to acknowledge that somebody might have a bad day — but when I saw Ashton was in hot water, I didn't feel that much sympathy for him because I labelled him my worst celebrity I've ever met." She said, "I asked a very generic question about the movie, and he didn't even look me in the eye, and he said, 'Well, you'll have to ask Michael that. He's sitting next to me'. Well, I did just ask Michael a question, and now I'm coming to you as you're the lead actor."She also said that, after she asked Ashton about his diet, "He cut me off, blocked me, deferred to the director the whole interview. It was horrible, it was an awful experience." In a 2022 TikTok, Spencer Pratt named Lisa Kudrow as the rudest celebrity he's met. In a follow-up video, he explained, "The year was 2009. Heidi [Montag, my wife] and I were invited to our first real A-list party by the president of NBC. It was clear when we got there, no one wanted us there. It was almost like we were filming for Punk'd and a camera was going to pop up, but Heidi and I didn't care. There was delicious food, open bar, and beautiful views of the Malibu ocean. "As we were sitting there consuming a little caviar, Phoebe [Lisa Kudrow] approaches — which was a little shocking, as no one had spoken to us at all at the party. ...Right in front of me, she tells Heidi that she needs to get away from me as fast as possible because I'm going to murder Heidi, and that I have the eyes of a serial killer. Heidi waits to see if this is a joke — maybe this is a bit, maybe this is a hidden camera party. No laughs — she just walks away. And that right there is the rudest moment I've ever encountered with a human being." On a 2023 episode of Watch What Happens Live!, the Jersey Shore Family Vacation cast played a game of "Revenge of the Shady Duck Phone." Nicole "Snookie" Polizzi shared her rude encounter with Joy Behar. On the same episode of Watch What Happens Live!, Deena Cortese and Sammi 'Sweetheart' Giancola shared their unpleasant experience with Ryan Reynolds. Here's the full clip, with this part (and Snooki's) starting at the 1:45 mark: On a 2017 episode of The Late Late Show, host James Corden played "Spill Your Guts or Fill Your Guts" with guest Khloé Kardashian. Rather than drink bird saliva, he shared that he had a rude encounter with Pierce Brosnan. Here's the full video, with this part starting at the 2:20 mark: In 2023, Stephen Mangan told the Telegraph that his "worst celebrity encounter" was with Robert De Niro, who had a cold reaction to Stephen's attempt at making a joke. Stephen said, "One of my acting heroes is Robert De Niro, and I once found myself in the same room as him at the Tribeca Film Festival in New York. I am not the kind of person who runs up to everyone I admire. I'm actually a little bit shy. But I thought, 'I cannot miss this opportunity to go and just say hello to him.' So, I made a start towards him, then I thought, 'No, I can't do it,' and stopped. Then I went to go and stopped again, then eventually I just strode straight up to him, and said, 'Hello, I'm Robert De Niro.' There was a pause, and then he said, with no hint of anything other than irritation, 'No, I'm Robert De Niro.' I then made some unintelligible noises, walked away, and that was the end of that. Our paths have never crossed since." At the 2018 Cheltenham Literature Festival, Graham Norton revealed that his worst The Graham Norton Show guest was Robert De Niro. Graham said, "He's not a storyteller, or very verbal. He's a benign presence." "Last time he started telling a story — he went on and on. We were all leaning in, willing it to be amazing... Then he finally went, 'Why am I telling this?' Nobody had an answer. We cut it," he said. Freddie Prinze Jr. had such a poor experience with costar Kiefer Sutherland that he almost quit acting. In 2014, Freddie told ABC News, "I did 24, it was terrible. I hated every moment of it. Kiefer was the most unprofessional dude in the world. That's not me talking trash, I'd say it to his face, I think everyone that's worked with him has said that. I just wanted to quit the business after that. So, I just sort of stopped." "I went and worked for Vince McMahon at the WWE, for Christ's sake, and it was a crazier job than working with Kiefer. But, at least he was cool and tall. I didn't have to take my shoes off to do scenes with him, which they made me do. Just put the guy on an apple box or don't hire me next time. You know I'm 6 feet and he's 5'4," he said. During a 2024 appearance on Watch What Happens Live!, Valerie Bertinelli shared a poor encounter she had with Christina Aguilera at a Van Halen concert (for context, Valerie was married to Eddie Van Halen from 1981-2007). Here's the full clip: In a 2018 Instagram post, comedian Em Rusciano said Gary Body, the lead singer of Snow Patrol, was the rudest celeb she's met because he allegedly spent an entire interview flipping her off. She said, "Wippa [Michael Wipfli] and I went to interview them when they were in Perth, and they had that one big song on Grey's Anatomy ('Chasing Cars'). We got told, 'Don't ask him about it because he gets angry,' but we did because that's all anyone cared about. And he sat for the rest of the interview [with his middle finger up]." And finally, during a 2012 fundraiser event, Jon Stewart reportedly said that Hugh Grant, who visited The Daily Show in 2009, was the worst guest he's had even though he's "had dictators on the show." Jon said, "He's giving everyone shit the whole time, and he's a big pain in the ass." He also said the actor complained about the "terrible" clip his publicist chose to promote Did You Hear About the Morgans?In response, Hugh tweeted, "Turns out my inner crab got the better of me with TV producer in 09. Unforgivable. J Stewart correct to give me kicking."

Ernesto Barajas, founder of Mexican band Enigma Norteño, dies at 38: Reports
Ernesto Barajas, co-founder and singer/songwriter for the regional Mexican band Enigma Norteño, has died, according to multiple media reports. He was 38. The singer and bassist was fatally shot in western Mexico on Tuesday, Aug. 19, The Associated Press and newspaper El Universal reported, citing the Jalisco Attorney General's Office. The incident took place in Zapopan, located on the outskirts of Jalisco's capital, Guadalajara. USA TODAY has reached out to the prosecutor's office for more information. Barajas' management company, Talento Líder, confirmed the news to Billboard Español. His management also paid tribute to the musician in an Aug. 19 Instagram story that read, "Rest in peace, Ernesto Barajas. Your Talento Líder family will always be proud of you and remember you as the great artist and human being that you were. May God bless you." Peso Pluma knows you know who he is. How the Grammy winner put Mexican music on the map. Barajas founded Enigma Norteño alongside Humberto Pérez in 2004 in Culiacán, the capital of their home state of Sinaloa. Some of their most streamed songs include "El Deportivo," a collaboration with Billboard Music Awards winners Fuerza Regida, and "Hagnase A Un Lado." The group is known for narcocorridos – a genre that often glorifies drug cartels – with one of their tracks, "El Chapo Guzmán," directly referencing the infamous former Sinaloa Cartel leader Joaquín Guzmán. Mexico's 'narcocorridos' go mainstream. What's behind their popularity explosion? The band released its most recent album, "Atención Al Cliente," in November 2024. On Aug. 14, they debuted "Hello Kitty," a collaboration with fellow Sinaloa musician Edgardo Nuñez. In addition to his musical work, Barajas also hosted the podcast "Puntos de Vista con Ernesto Barajas."
