Summary
Darlings, a devastating loss and two dramas still unfolding. James Van Der Beek has died at just 48 after a private battle with colorectal cancer — and friends say he met his final days with remarkable grace and strength. Meanwhile, Jill Zarin is sounding off after being dropped from E!’s upcoming “The Golden Life” over her fiery rant about Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl halftime show. “They didn’t even give me a chance,” she insists, admitting she quickly deleted the video. “People make mistakes. I’m human.” And in the Nancy Guthrie investigation, the briefly detained DoorDash driver has been released — leaving authorities back at square one as the search continues.
