Brigitte Bardot Dead at 91
Brigitte Bardot
Dead at 91
Published
Brigitte Bardot, the French actress who became one of the world’s first global sex symbols, has died.
Her foundation announced her death Sunday in a statement shared with French news agency AFP, confirming the iconic star passed away at her home in southern France after spending decades devoted to animal rights.
No cause of death has been released. Her passing comes months after she underwent surgery for a serious illness in October.
Bardot skyrocketed to international fame in 1956 with the scandalous film “And God Created Woman.” The movie shocked audiences worldwide and turned Bardot into a symbol of sexual liberation, earning her the nickname “B.B.”
She began her career as a teenage model, landing the cover of Elle at just 15 years old before transitioning to film. She quickly became one of Europe’s biggest box office stars, appearing in hits like “Naughty Girl,” “Plucking the Daisy,” “Babette Goes to War,” and “La Parisienne.”
She later crossed into Hollywood with “Dear Brigitte” opposite James Stewart and starred alongside Sean Connery in “Shalako.”
Despite massive success, Bardot struggled with fame and mental health. In 1960, she attempted suicide and later admitted she came close several times. In 1973, at just 39, she retired from acting for good.
Bardot was married four times and had high profile romances with Warren Beatty and Jean-Louis Trintignant. She is survived by her husband and her son.
Brigitte was 91.
RIP.
D4vd
Song Scrubbed From ‘Madden’
… Amid Celeste Rivas Death Investigation
Published
One of the biggest sports video game franchises in the world is seemingly distancing itself from D4vd as the Celeste Rivas death investigation continues … with the singer’s song getting quietly pulled from “Madden NFL 26.”
The controversial artist’s “What Are You Waiting For” was initially part of the popular football game’s soundtrack when it was released back in August … and was sandwiched between BIA and Alex Warren on the playlist.
Now, it’s nowhere to be found.
The exact reason is unclear … but given what’s been going on lately, it’s fair to assume EA Sports wanted to distance itself from D4vd.
Rivas’ dead body was discovered inside a Tesla that was towed to an impound lot after it was found abandoned in the Hollywood Hills. It was later revealed that the car belonged to D4vd.
As we’ve previously reported … sources told us last month that they view the singer as a suspect in Rivas’ death. While there is no paperwork classifying him as a suspect, one of our sources told us … “Investigators are looking at D4vd as a suspect.”
A grand jury was convened last month as well … and we’re told they have been hearing witnesses and will vote on indictments.
Our sources told us Monday D4vd is likely to be indicted in the murder case.
D4vd also worked with Fortnite in the past … creating the official 2025 anthem, “Locked and Loaded.”
We have yet to hear from the 20-year-old singer himself on the matter.
Taylor Swift
Tip of the Arrowhead ….
Fan Frames Giant Gratuity From Chiefs Game
Published
A worker at Arrowhead Stadium on Christmas got the shock of her lifetime when Taylor Swift dropped a massive tip … a gesture so shocking, the suite staffer had to frame one of the six fresh Benjamins.
TMZ has learned a viral Facebook post from a stadium employee named Robyn Gentry talking about the superstar’s Xmas generosity is legit … TS indeed tipped $600 to the unsuspecting worker.
As Robyn tells it … TS was at the Christmas game to watch fiancé Travis Kelce play maybe his last NFL game … and superstar was so appreciative of staff working on the holiday, she was handing out her own gifts … that being cold hard cash.
Robyn explained the money was her “whole paycheck for two weeks” and she was so touched, she had to frame one of the bills. Although as of her Sunday post … she still had not spent any of the $600.
Needless to say … it didn’t take long for Swifties to see the post — and make it go viral with shares and comments.
We reached for a rep for TS for comment … so far, no word back.
