Who Is

There's plenty of gamers who've found fame and fortune for their online activities ... but Schlep gained notoriety for a fairly unusual reason.

Schlep made a name for himself producing and sharing "predator-poacher" videos on YouTube after connecting with people via Roblox -- until he was kicked off the platform.

We're going to take a look at the gamer's background and see how he navigated being booted from the massively popular online game.

Ray Asian Boy's had a sudden rise to internet fame ... and it hasn't been boring in the least!

The social media figure went from having a chance encounter with a streaming superstar to starting an online career of his own, all in the span of just a few years.

We're going to take a look and see how his rise to fame has taken a few twists and turns ... and check out how he teased a collaboration with a major sportswear brand.

Jonas Pate has been around in Hollywood for several decades now ... and he's had some pretty interesting times in the biz.

Pate has worn plenty of hats -- including director, showrunner, and writer -- over the course of his career, during which he created one of the most popular shows on Netflix.

We're going to take a look into the life and times of the producer ... and see how he was allegedly involved in a troubling on-set incident.

Sophie Rain's had a wild ride to the top of OnlyFans ... and we're here for all of it!

The content creator's gone from what she says were rough beginnings to becoming one of the highest-earning individuals on the platform over a period of just a few years.

We're going to take a look into her background and see how she ended up becoming one of the most recognizable faces on the internet.

Sophie's claimed she was raised in humble surroundings, and stated her family would often rely on food stamps.

Oh, and we should mention her parents are churchgoing Christians ... and she still holds onto her religious beliefs -- which she believes don't conflict with her choice of career.

Sophie eventually decided to get a minimum-wage job serving food, and she ended up joining OnlyFans after her sister Sierra, who was active on the platform, encouraged her to start creating explicit content, according to People.

Although Sophie ended up being fired from her position, she more than made up for the lost income.

Sophie made a splash on OnlyFans when she joined the platform in 2023 and quickly became one of its top creators.

A big part of her appeal to her fans is her identity as a Christian -- and as a virgin, as she claims to be.

Sophie's seen serious windfalls of cash from her work on the platform, and she claimed she'd made $43 million at the end of 2024.

Rain revealed on a vlog with David Dobrik the number actually ballooned to a cool $82 million the following year.

Sophie's activity on OnlyFans hasn't always been a solo effort ... because she helped launch creator collective The Bop House in December 2024.

Sophie launched the collective, which is run out of a mansion in Florida, alongside fellow OnlyFans star Aishah Sofey, who appeared with Sophie in the collective's announcement video.

The mansion houses several OnlyFans creators who work on various forms of content ... think of it as sort of a Gen-Z Playboy Mansion.

Joe Manganiello's going to be starting a new phase in his life pretty soon ... because he just announced his engagement to his fiancée Caitlin O'Connor!

The performer and the actress had only dated for a few years before he decided to pop the big question ... hey, when you know, you know!

We're going to take a look into the background of the lucky lady and see how she ended up planning a future with the actor.

Although O'Connor was born in Los Angeles, she spent her childhood in Pennsylvania, according to Page Six.

The performer eventually headed back to the West Coast to attend UCLA, where she studied English and minored in theater.

It's also worth noting the performer got a bit of hands-on acting experience at the Magic Kingdom, as she reportedly played Princess Aurora at Disneyland.

She's also been pretty open about her love for Disney on social media, and she got back into costume -- as Tinkerbell, at least -- for Halloween back in 2023.

O'Connor's stayed pretty busy throughout her career in Hollywood, as she's worked as an actress in various film and television productions, according to her IMDb page.

The performer's work hasn't just been on-camera, either, because she's listed as a producer on five projects.

Plus, O'Connor's also worked as a reporter for various outlets over the course of her career.

The actress has interviewed several celebrities throughout her work as a reporter ... do the names Hailey Bieber or Post Malone ring any bells?

On to the juicy stuff ... O'Connor and Manganiello first met in September 2023 at a party for the HBO series "Winning Time," in which Caitlin appeared, according to E! News.

The two set off dating rumors when they were spotted leaving a gym in Los Angeles in each other's company ... just two months after the news about his split with his now ex-wife, Sofia Vergara, was revealed.

The pair went on to make their red carpet debut at a gala held in New York City three months later.

An insider spoke to Us Weekly at the time and claimed the reason O'Connor and Manganiello worked so well as a couple was due to their "easygoing" personalities.

Manganiello made the big news about their relationship -- and upcoming plans for marriage -- with O'Connor at the San Diego Film Festival in October 2025.

The performer revealed he'd asked the actress to marry him during his acceptance speech for the Career Spotlight award, and he thanked her for supporting him throughout the course of their relationship.

The thing is, engagement rumors between the two had been swirling ever since June 2025, when she was spotted with what looked like a diamond ring on her ring finger during a trip to Italy.

Ace Frehley had plenty of wild times throughout his career as a musician ... and we're here for all of them!

The guitarist was best known for rocking and rolling all night with KISS, the band he co-founded and performed with for years ... before taking off and embarking on his own solo career.

We're going to take a look into the performer's professional background and see what led up to his tragic death.

Ace was born Paul Daniel Frehley in 1951, and he was raised in The Bronx, New York City -- pretty far from Detroit Rock City, but he'd end up there eventually.

The performer reportedly received an electric guitar as a Christmas gift in 1964 ... and skipped  lessons, relying on the influence of guitarists like Jimi Hendrix and B.B. King, according to Variety.

His career as a musician began shortly afterward, when he dropped out of high school ... one of his bands began earning money, and another band signed with RCA Records.

Ace spoke about his early days as a musician in an interview with Guitar Player and said he'd "probably have practiced a little more" if he'd known he'd make it big one day.

Ace was one of the founding members of KISS -- alongside Paul Stanley, Gene Simmons, and Peter Criss -- which was founded in New York City all the way back in 1973.

Ace was the group's lead guitarist, and the group became pop culture icons for wearing makeup and costumes while performing, and their shows became legendary for their theatrics.

Ace didn't stay with the band forever, though ... he left the band in 1982 to focus on his solo career.

He eventually rejoined KISS, which was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2014, after a 14-year break, and he remained with the group until 2002, when he took off for good.

Ace started his own band, Frehley's Comet, after his first departure from KISS. He was the group's lead guitarist and one of its main vocalists.

The group only lasted for a total of four years, although they had a few reunions after the release of their final album in 1988.

Ace's solo career continued after the band dissolved, and he released several albums under his own name over the years.

The late musician's most recently released record, "10,000 Volts," was released in 2024.

Ace died at the age of 74 on Thursday, October 16, 2025, after suffering a brain bleed caused by injuries sustained in a fall.

The guitarist's injury reportedly took place in a studio several weeks prior to his death.

Ace was subsequently hospitalized, and his family ended up making the decision to remove him from life support.

Bryan Kohberger's senseless murder of four college students in Idaho back in 2022 shocked the country. His sister Amanda nearly played a role in what would have been her brother's trial -- which was nixed after he took a plea deal and admitted to his crimes.

We're going to take a look into the background of the murderer's sibling and see how she nearly became involved with his case.

Amanda apparently pursued a career as an actress back in the day, and she appeared in a low-budget thriller feature, "Two Days Back," which was released in 2011.

The movie plot is about a character who joins several environmentalist students on a trip to investigate illegal logging before stumbling onto a cabin with connections to her past. The flick didn't ever appear to drum up much attention, and it holds a 3.9/10 rating on IMDb.

Amanda appeared to give up acting following the release of "Two Days Back," and she eventually began working as a school counselor, according to CBS News.

In 2023, a statement was issued on behalf of the entire Kohberger family following Bryan's arrest.

FYI ... the now-convicted murderer was arrested at his parents' home in eastern Pennsylvania on December 30, 2022 on suspicion of killing the four college students in Moscow, Idaho.

A statement was subsequently released by Jason A. LaBar, who previously served as Bryan's counsel, and Kohberger's family -- including Amanda -- pledged to "love and support" him throughout the trial.

The Kohbergers also expressed their sympathies to the families of the murdered students and said they would "let the legal process unfold."

Although Amanda didn't have much involvement with Bryan's case, there was a chance she could have -- because she was included on the prosecutor's witness list.

The convicted murderer's sister would have been called to testify about her brother, but he ended up copping a plea deal, which got him out of a formal trial ... in exchange for pleading guilty and being sentenced to four consecutive terms of life in prison without parole.

The United States has a complicated, evolving history with its borders ... and Tom Homan's been in charge of them since 2024.

The "border czar" -- an informal term designating executive oversight of managing the country's land, air and sea borders, and deportations -- has an extensive history with law enforcement ... including as the subject of a probe into an allegation he accepted a cash bribe.

We're going to take a look into Homan's professional background and see how he ended up at the center of a formal investigation.

Homan began his career in law enforcement, serving as a police officer in upstate New York before starting as a Border Patrol agent in the 1980s, according to MSNBC.

President Barack Obama tapped Homan to lead ICE's deportation branch in 2013 following several promotions.

Homan was appointed by President Donald Trump to head ICE in 2017, and he became known for his tough approach to immigrants looking to cross the border.

Although he sought to become ICE's permanent director, his nomination ended up stalling in the Senate, as many Democrats were opposed to his confirmation ... he announced plans to retire in 2018.

Homan ended up staying busy within the law enforcement world, founding a consulting firm -- Homeland Strategic Consulting -- which reportedly worked with the departments of Justice, Defense, and Homeland Security.

He also stayed pretty close to Trump and his political allies during President Joe Biden's administration, and he worked as contributor at Fox News.

Plenty of folks expected him to serve in Trump's second administration, and he signed on to act as 47's border czar in November 2024, according to the Associated Press. Homan's new role didn't require Senate confirmation.

Homan found himself in hot water in September 2025 after reports surfaced that he allegedly accepted a bag with $50,000 cash inside from undercover FBI agents in 2024.

Homan allegedly assured the agents he would be able to assist in securing government contracts during the second Trump administration.

Although an investigation was opened into Homan's alleged activities, it was ultimately closed in early 2025 by the Trump Dept. of Justice, and he wasn't charged with any crimes.

David Del Rio's made a career in the limelight ... but recent attention is turning intensely negative.

The actor has been accused of some serious misconduct, resulting in his firing from a high-profile network TV show.

We're going to take a look into the actor's background and see what led up to his sudden firing.

David was born and raised in Miami, and he later moved to New York City to attend the New York Conservatory for Dramatic Arts, from where he graduated in 2009.

The actor began his career taking small roles in both film and television projects, and he rose to prominence for his work in shows like "The Troop" and "Maggie."

David's star began to shine brighter in 2024, when he was cast in one of the main roles in the hit CBS legal drama series "Matlock," alongside performers like Kathy Bates and Jason Ritter.

His acting wasn't limited to filmed work -- he was a member of the cast of "In The Heights," which ran on Broadway for several months in 2010.

David's been married to his wife Katherine -- who first noticed him when she saw him on Broadway back in 2010 -- since 2018.

The pair reportedly met at the stage door following one of his performances, and they eventually reconnected at a party in Los Angeles, according to Us Weekly.

Katherine gave birth to their eldest daughter Liliam in 2023.

The actor and his spouse -- who also works as an actress and chef -- welcomed a second daughter named Coco two years later.;

David found himself in hot water in October 2025, when it was reported he'd been escorted off the Paramount lot after being accused of sexually assaulting his "Matlock" costar Leah Lewis.

The actor's character on the show, Billy Martinez, was subsequently written off of the show.

Lewis spoke out after her former costar's firing was reported, writing she'd be "moving forward in love and strength" on Instagram.

Maria Corina Machado has worked her way through Venezuela's political landscape ...  and her efforts are being recognized by the international community in a big way -- because she's just been awarded the Nobel Peace Prize.

We're taking a look at what she's done to reach this point ... and check out how one particular international politician is not thrilled about her receiving the distinction.

Machado, 58, is from Venezuela ... her father was an industrialist in the country, according to The Wall Street Journal. Machado studied engineering during her university days, and she eventually earned a master's degree in finance.

Her philanthropic activities kicked off in 1992, when she founded Fundación Atenea, which provides aid to street children in Caracas.

Machado entered politics 10 years later when she founded Sumate, a vote-monitoring organization, and she subsequently left Atenea in order to focus on her political ambitions, according to The Independent.

Machado was elected to Venezuela's National Assembly in 2010, reportedly pulling in a record number of supporters.

She cofounded a liberal-leaning political party, Vente Venezuela, in 2012, and she helped set up the Soy Venezuela alliance, which brings together right and left-wing politicians to work on shared issues.

Machado achieved notoriety as a vocal opponent of Venezuela's longtime president Nicolas Maduro, and she ended up expelled from the country's National Assembly in 2014.

Machado announced her candidacy for president in Venezuela's 2024 presidential election, but she was ultimately banned from holding public office. Maduro reportedly won the election with 51% of the vote -- although inconsistencies in the polls were widely publicized -- and Machado went into hiding after the election, according to NPR.

After months underground, Machado made her first public appearance at an opposition protest in Caracas in January 2025, according to The Independent. Her political group, Comando Con Venezuela, said she'd been "violently intercepted" as she was leaving the rally, after which she was detained.

Machado's team later claimed she'd been forced to record several videos during her detainment, which was reportedly denounced by various governments.

Venezuelan government officials alleged she'd faked the arrest and detainment to drum up support for the opposition.

Machado was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize on October 10, 2025, "for her tireless work promoting democratic rights for the people of Venezuela and for her struggle to achieve a just and peaceful transition from dictatorship to democracy," according to the Nobel Prize Foundation website.

A video showing the moment she was notified she'd won the prize was released on Friday, and she said she didn't deserve the distinction before expressing the prize was "the achievement of a whole society."

The NFL never seems to go through a shortage of fresh talent ... and it looks like the New York Giants found a keeper with rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart.

And get this ... even though the athlete just started his NFL career earlier this year, he's already been bumped up to the position of starting quarterback!

We're going to take a look at how the football player went from dominating the field in high school and college to playing against some of the heaviest hitters in the game.

Jaxson's football career started gaining attention during his days at Corner Canyon High School in Draper, Utah, where he also played baseball.

His skills on the field earned him the title of 2020 MaxPreps National High School Football Player of the Year, according to the Salt Lake Tribune.

And Jaxson got the title for good reason -- because the Corner Canyon Chargers went undefeated during their 2020 season.

The accolades kept coming, too, as the athlete was named the 2020-21 Gatorade National Football Player of the Year.

Jaxson naturally earned plenty of attention from colleges, and he received offers from several schools, including Arizona State University and UCLA, according to 247 Sports.

He committed to the University of Southern California in 2020, and he spent the 2021 season with the Trojans, who finished the year with a 4-8 record.

Jaxson ended up entering the transfer portal in 2022, and he transferred to Ole Miss the same year.

The athlete spent the rest of his college career with the Rebels, and he helped lead the team to victory at the Peach Bowl in 2023.

Jaxson's career in the NFL kicked off in 2025. He was a first-round pick by the New York Giants.

He received a serious boost of responsibility early into the season, as he was named as the Giants' starting quarterback after Russell Wilson was benched by the team in the season's fourth week.

Anika Nilles has been rocking out on the drums for several years now ... and it looks like she'll be hitting some pretty big stages in the near future.

The professional drummer's been selected to support the legendary prog-rock group Rush on their upcoming reunion tour, which isn't too far out in the future.

We're going to take a look into the background of the musician and see how she was selected to take the stool of the group's legendary former drummer.

Nilles is originally from Germany, and she earned a degree in popular music and music business from the Popakademie Baden-Württemberg in Mannheim, according to Modern Drummer.

The musician had originally pursued a career in social education, although she gave it up in order to follow her dreams of working as a professional musician.

Nilles' big break came in 2013, when she posted a video for her track "Wild Boy" on YouTube, and the clip racked up thousands of views overnight.

The performer kept raising her public profile by sharing videos of her original compositions on YouTube, and she's earned millions of views through her work.

Nilles dropped her debut solo album, "Pikalar," which featured instrumental compositions, in 2017.

The performer's since released three further albums, and her most recent record, "False Truth," debuted earlier this year.

Nilles remained busy in between the release of each of her records, as she began appearing at international drumming festivals and drum clinics.

She also hit the road as part of Jeff Beck's band back in 2022, when she joined the late guitarist on a tour around Europe, according to Loudwire.

Nilles' involvement with Rush was revealed in October 2025, when the group revealed she'd been selected to replace Neil Peart on their upcoming 2026 reunion tour, reports Variety.

The group's former drummer died in 2020 following a battle with glioblastoma, and his family's given the band their blessing to hit the stage again.

Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson issued a press statement about their plans to get back together ... Geddy said they "could not be more excited" to have Nilles as their drummer.

Arthur Jones had plenty of ups and downs throughout his career in the NFL, which lasted for nearly a decade.

The older brother of professional martial artist Jon Jones hopped between teams and even earned himself a Super Bowl ring prior to his death at the age of 39.

We're going to take a look into the background of the late football player and see what he accomplished throughout his sports career.

Arthur first began gaining attention for his athletic skills back in high school, where he played football and was a member of Union-Endicott High School's wrestling team.

He started attending Syracuse University in 2005 -- although he didn't play any games during his freshman year of college, according to the school's official sports website.

Arthur more than made up for the missed opportunities during his second year, when he became one of 40 players to have participated in every game in the 2006 season.

The athlete remained with the Syracuse Orange until 2009, when he finished out his final year with the team.

Arthur kicked off his career in the NFL in 2010, when he was drafted by the Baltimore Ravens as a defensive end.

The athlete, whose younger brother Chandler also played in the league, remained with the Ravens until 2013, when he helped lead them to victory at Super Bowl XLVII.

Arthur didn't remain with the Ravens after the big game, though, as he signed a five-year contract with the Indianapolis Colts in 2014. He ended up being released from his contract after sitting out for the entirety of the 2015 season, after which he received a four-game suspension in 2016 following a positive test for performance-enhancing drugs, reports ESPN.

He signed with the Washington Commanders in 2017, although he was quickly placed on injured reserve.

Arthur stepped away from professional sports in 2018, when he announced his retirement from the NFL.

The professional athlete's death was revealed seven years later, and a cause hasn't been revealed as of yet.

The Ravens released an official statement regarding his death, and the organization's general manager, Eric DeCosta, claimed the team was "terribly saddened" about his loss.

Joshua Allen danced his way into the hearts of "So You Think You Can Dance" fans and established himself further through his work in TV and film.

But the performer's story wasn't entirely straightforward, as he spent time behind bars prior to his death at the age of 36 in 2025.

We're going to take a look into the background of the dancer and see what went down in his personal life before his death.

Joshua got his start by appearing on "So You Think You Can Dance" Season 4, and he came out on top of the other competitors -- including Stephen "tWitch" Boss, with whom he became close friends.

The dancer's work was later featured on the big screen, as he was a featured performer in the 2010 film "Step Up 3D."

Joshua ended up being brought on as a dancer and choreographer during the second season of the Oxygen show "Dance Your A** Off," which aired in 2010.

He also had a brief stint in scripted television, as he appeared on an episode of "American Horror Story" in 2011.

Joshua's story wasn't entirely clean, as he spent time in jail after he was involved in several altercations in 2016, according to Deadline.

The performer's legal troubles began that January, when he picked up a conviction for willfully injuring a girlfriend.

He reportedly attempted to strangle the same individual four months later, and he apparently chased her into a coffee shop before he got into a fight with a customer and threw a glass vase at another patron.

Joshua was later convicted of willfully injuring a girlfriend after a prior conviction and assault with a deadly weapon. He was sentenced to a year in county jail, and he had to serve five years of probation and attend a year of domestic violence counseling.

Joshua died after he was struck by a train near his residence in his home state of Texas, his family told TMZ.

There's currently an ongoing investigation into the circumstances surrounding the professional dancer's death.

We spoke to one of Joshua's family members shortly after his death, and they stated the performer's family was requesting "privacy and prayers."

21 Savage's had a pretty interesting career during his time in the rap game ... and we're here for all of it!

The performer's had a crazy journey to becoming one of the most famous rappers in America -- even though he wasn't born stateside.

Here's a look at the background and career of the performer ... and a bit of info about the current state of his love life.

Kellie Pickler's had plenty of interesting experiences throughout her music and television careers ... many of which involved her late husband Kyle Jacobs.

The country star and the songwriter were married for several years and completed several projects together, at least until the marriage came to an abrupt -- and tragic -- end.

We're going to take a look into the background of the late musician and see what happened in the personal lives of his widow and their family following his death.

Kyle made a name for himself through his work as a songwriter, and he primarily worked in the country music industry.

The musician burst onto the scene in 2007, when Garth Brooks' track "More Than A Memory," which he co-wrote, became the first song to debut on the U.S. Billboard Hot Country Songs chart.

Kyle went on to collaborate with some of the biggest names in the country industry, including Tim McGraw and Lee Brice, among others.

Oh, and we should note he also worked with his wife on several occasions over the course of his career.

Kyle and Kellie reportedly met through mutual friends, and they became engaged in 2010.

The singer and the songwriter remained engaged for a year before they made things official and tied the knot on a trip to Antigua.

The performers' married life eventually became the subject of the reality show "I Love Kellie Pickler," which ran for a total of two seasons.

Kellie became a widow in 2023, when Kyle died from a self-inflicted gunshot at the couple's home in Nashville.

Kellie subsequently became involved in a legal battle with Kyle's parents, which kicked off after they allegedly requested ownership of several of their late son's belongings following his death, according to Us Weekly.

The songwriter's family has since claimed the singer has attempted to keep them from retrieving Kyle's belongings, and they've also alleged she "forbade" them from entering her residence.

Kyle's family has since filed a petition for civil contempt against Kellie, and she later filed a motion to dismiss the petition.
