Former WWE Wrestler Sir Mo Dead at 58
EX-WWE Wrestler Sir Mo
DEAD AT 58
Published
Sir Mo — a former WWE tag team champion — has died … TMZ has learned.
Gerald Horne — Sir Mo’s brother — tells us the former wrestling star died Sunday night at a Texas hospital.
Sir Mo — who’s real name is Bobby Horne — had been battling kidney issues for a long time, which lead to him being hospitalized for the past couple months.
We’re told Sir Mo’s condition recently declined after he was diagnosed with pneumonia and a blood infection while in the hospital.
Sir Mo began his pro wrestling career in 1991 … and two years later signed with WWE alongside his tag team partner, Nelson Frazier. The duo became known as “Men on a Mission” … winning a WWE tag team title in 1994.
He was 58.
RIP
Andy Dick
Cheats Fentanyl Death Due To Crack Use
Published
Andy Dick has gotten lucky if he mainly uses crack cocaine to get high, our law enforcement sources say … because fentanyl isn’t generally mixed in with the drug.
Two current federal Drug Enforcement Administration officials tell TMZ … mixing fentanyl with crack’s a fool’s errand. The substance burns off with heat — so putting it in the drug wouldn’t produce the desired effect.
The chemical structure of fentanyl breaks down once someone lights up the rocks … and it loses its potency. We’re told the drug will still have some effect, but it simply won’t be as strong — and it certainly won’t have a lethal effect on a person.
Fentanyl is mostly snorted or injected … making drugs like cocaine or heroin more likely to contain some of the killer powder. Despite his overdose this week, Dick has been arrested for cocaine possession in the past.

In a recent interview with TMZ, Andy admitted to only smoking crack on a Hollywood street Tuesday … but he more than likely also consumed an opioid, because he was revived with a Narcan shot. William Bodner, the former head of L.A.’s DEA Office, tells us Narcan only reverses the effects of opioid overdoses, such as fentanyl or heroin, not crack cocaine.
Bodner says crack is a stimulant that would produce a stroke or a heart attack in people who smoke too much of it, sending them to the hospital. That’s not what happened to Andy — and Bodner says the big question is whether Andy knew what he was smoking, was tricked into taking another drug … or simply didn’t care what he was ingesting.
Worth noting … we’ve also talked to sources who say Andy’s far more into alcohol than drugs — another reason Dick wouldn’t run into fentanyl all that often.
We broke the story … Andy suffered an apparent overdose earlier this week, with video showing the slumped-over star unable to keep himself upright while a bystander administered Narcan.
During Wednesday’s interview, Andy invited our cameraman into his Los Angeles home and revealed he overdosed on crack cocaine because he doesn’t “mind doing a little crack every now and then.” Andy also told us he has no plans to go back to rehab.
Alix Earle
I’m Going Through It!!!
After Braxton Berrios Split
Published
Alix Earle is suffering from some serious growing pains … at least according to a TikTok posted Wednesday.
The popular influencer got vulnerable about where her head is at following her breakup with NFL star Braxton Berrios, sharing a pic of her lying in bed in a dimly lit room with a towel wrapped around her head.
Alix wrote, “Is my frontal lobe developing because I’m about to turn 25 and usually I stress abt having the biggest party but all I want to do is workout, meditate, play card games, & have good convos w the ppl closest to me.”
She captioned, “Either I’m maturing or just rlly going thru it … maybe both.”
This is a far cry from the smiling and dancing Alix we saw in pics from an event at Miami Art Week over the weekend.
She looked eager to show off some skills she picked up from her “Dancing With the Stars” stint this fall, as she gleefully bumped shoulders with nightlife royalty such as Tyga, Lori Harvey, and Ice Spice.
It was her first public outing since she and Braxton called it quits.
Alix and Braxton dated for more than 2 years before their mutual split.
