DJ Casper, famous for creating dance song Cha Cha Slide, left this world after long battle with kidney and liver cancer, confirmed his wife.

The musician, whose real name was Willie Perry Jr., breathed his last at age 58, almost seven years after he left his fans upset with news of his cancer diagnosis.

Speaking of his health scare, he told ABC7 that he has lost 180lb amid his battle with the deadly disease but still vowed to fight his cancer till the end.

“I used to weigh 236 pounds, and I think I’m about 60 pounds less,” he said. “If you know me, you know I’m not going to stop. I’m going to continue to go. I’m going to continue to go until I can’t go.”

“They diagnosed me in 2016 with two forms of cancer, which is renal and neuroendocrine, which is kidney and liver,” he shared.

“They went in to try to do surgery, and they found out the kidney was connected to the main artery, so they decided not to do it,” he said, adding they decided to “just treat it” instead.

Perry created the infamous Cha Cha Slide, one of the most popular line dances in history, in 2000, which went on to top the Billboard Hot 100 chart for five weeks.

“When I first did it, I did it as an aerobic exercise for my nephew at Bally’s,” the DJ said while reflecting on how he never thought it would become an international sensation.

“From there, it just took off,” he added. “I have one of the biggest songs that played at all stadiums – hockey, basketball, football, baseball, they played it at the Olympics.”

“It was something that everybody could do.”

Following his diagnosis, he expressed his desire to his fans to “keep on doing the Cha Cha Slide,” adding, “Anybody that’s going through cancer, know that you have cancer and cancer does not have you.”

Kirsten Dunst made headlines recently as an old interview about her “awkward” kiss with Brad Pitt resurfaced. The scene was filmed for the movie Interview with the Vampire when she was just 11 years old.

In the clip, Dunst candidly expresses feeling “awkward” about the on-screen kiss with the 31-year-old Pitt. Her perspective on the scene hasn’t changed much over the years, as she continues to maintain a less-than-positive view of the situation.

Released in 1994, the film marked a significant breakthrough for Dunst, as she portrayed the character of Claudia, a 10-year-old girl who becomes a vampire after being turned by Louis de Pointe du Lac (played by Brad Pitt) and Lestat de Lioncourt (played by Tom Cruise).

In an old interview circulating on TikTok, the Spider Man actress explains how she felt ‘awkward’ about the kiss because “he’s a man so why would I enjoy kissing him?”

The interviewer questioned her about it again right away, to which she reiterated: “Brad is 31, I mean, he’s not exactly a boy.”

Angry TikTok users completely agree with the actress, with one writing, “The fact that she had to explain?”

The resurfaced interview has prompted netizens to criticize both the interview itself and the film.

Another user wrote: “They expected her to have a different answer?”

The actress has spoken about the scene many times after Interview With The Vampire.

Speaking to Conan in 2014, Dunst said: “I thought it was disgusting.”

“I was 11, it would’ve been weird if I was like “this is amazing.”‘

Despite calling it “the worst thing” about the film, she clarified: “Other than that I was treated like a total princess on that set.”

She also sings praises of the Fight Club star, who “was like my older brother on set.”

Prince William and Kate Middleton have named their youngest son after the ‘secret weapon’ of the Royal family.

The Prince and Princess of Wales became parents to Louis Arthur Charles in 2018, three months after which he was christened.

The young Prince is named after Lord Louis Mountbatten, an uncle of Prince Philip and the youngest brother of his mother Princess Alice of Battenberg.

Lord Louis also often referred to King Charles III as his “honorary grandson” and took his responsibility from an early age.

Lord Mountbatten was dubbed a “secret weapon” of the Royal Family due to his profound support in preparing King Charles for his royal destiny. 

The former viceroy of British India passed away in August 1979 after being hit by an IRA bomb on a family trip.

Bryan Cranston gave a heartfelt tribute to his Breaking Bad co-star Mark Margolis on Instagram after his sudden death. He shared two images of the actor, writing that he was “very saddened” by his death on August 3.

He wrote: “Mark Margolis was a really good actor and a lovely human being. Fun and engaging off the set, and (in the case of Breaking Bad and Your Honor) intimidating and frightening on set.”

He continued: “His quiet energy belied his mischievous nature and curious mind… And he loved sharing a good joke. I miss him already. Rest now, Mark and thank you for your friendship and your exceptional body of work.”

The first picture was of Margolis from the show Your Honor, on which Bryan worked with him as well and the second one was from the hit series Breaking Bad. The pair became good friends as they worked together from season two to season four of Breaking Bad.

Bryan plays the protagonist of the show Walter White who is a chemistry teacher suffering from stage three cancer and begins to produce and distribute drugs for money. Meanwhile, Margolis played an ex-drug kingpin who was left without the ability to speak or walk after suffering a stroke.

Prince William and Kate Middleton will be able to do wonders on their first official visit to the US.

The Prince and Princess of Wales are set to mark their maiden visit to NYC after King Charles’ coronation and the couple is tipped to overshadow Prince Harry and Meghan Markle.

Mike Parker writes for express.co.uk: “His busy 48-hour schedule during New York Climate Week is not, however, expected to include any contact with his estranged west coast based brother Prince Harry, whose own popularity – along with that of his wife Meghan – is plummeting in America.”

He then quotes PR guru Mark Borkowski: “William and Kate’s ‘charm offensive’ and ‘master class in image branding’ has left the Duke and Duchess of Sussex “in the shade,”

“Their image now far outweighs Harry and Meghan’s social media issues and their attempt to conquer Hollywood,” the commentator notes.
