Published
Hailey Okula — a social media influencer better known as Nurse Hailey — has died … her husband revealed in a heartbreaking social media post this week.

According to Matt, Hailey suffered an amniotic embolism — a medical complication during childbirth where the fluid surrounding the baby in the womb enters the carrier’s bloodstream, causing damage to multiple organs.
Matt says Hailey was the ultimate life partner … constantly supporting Matt through the years — and, she was also an incredible businesswoman who poured her heart and soul into her company, RN New Graduates.

If you don’t know Nurse Hailey, she used her social media to offer advice on tests, interviews and more for prospective nurses. She sold items like an “ER cheat sheet,” which had some of the most common issues that come up in an emergency room for nurses new to the area to use as a resource.
Matt says all business for RN New Grads will be put on hold for the foreseeable future.
Hawk Tuah Goes Hollywood Doing Her Thang W/ Glen Powell
Published
Hawk Tuah’s back on the grind after that crypto mess — and she’s made her way to Hollywood for a cameo in Glen Powell’s new Hulu series “Chad Powers,” TMZ has learned.
Yep, you definitely heard these two names in the same sentence — sources tell TMZ the internet sensation was on set with one of the biggest movie stars in the world this weekend, as reshoots for the TV sports comedy went down in L.A.
We’re told Glen was shooting a club scene where his character — Oregon Ducks QB Russ Holliday, who goes undercover in prosthetics as the title character — bumps into Hawk Tuah, AKA Haliey Welch, while out celebrating his draft pick to the XFL.
Haliey’s playing herself — but no word on whether she’ll reenact the sex act that shot her to online fame last year, or if it’s just a blink-and-you-miss-it deal.
For Glen, being on a Hollywood set is just another day at the office, but for Haliey, it’s a whole new world — and it shows she’s not shying away from the spotlight after all the drama with her meme coin fiasco.
Thankfully for her, the SEC wrapped up its investigation last month and let her off the hook — and looks like HT’s all about spitting out the past, and getting a little more up close and personal with the acting biz.

Russell Brand Get Him to the Speech … Will Speak at Florida College
Published
British actor and comedian Russell Brand hasn’t lost his audience in the wake of troubling accusations about his personal and professional life … because he’s set to speak at a college in Florida this upcoming Saturday, even after he’s been charged with sexual assault in London and has been sued for alleged behavior on a movie set in New York.
Brand is lined up to appear as a guest speaker at New College of Florida in Sarasota as part of their Socratic Stage series, which is meant to discuss complex and pressing social and political issues.
New College confirmed to TMZ … Brand will speak at the event titled, “Thinking without Permission: A Conversation with Russell Brand on Free Speech, Censorship, and Cultural Power,” part of its Spring 2025 series, scheduled April 12.
The liberal arts college has beefed up its right-wing faculty and staff in recent years after Florida Governor Ron DeSantis overhauled the school’s leadership and steered it sharply in a conservative direction.
Alexandra Nicole Islas, Director of Public Policy Events at the school, tells TMZ … “In a time when public pressure often seeks to silence rather than engage, New College of Florida is reaffirming its role in creating space for open inquiry—not eliminating it. After thoughtful consideration, we have decided to move forward with Russell Brand’s scheduled appearance as part of a broader conversation on society, culture, and free speech.”
She continues … “This is a reflection of our commitment to civil discourse and the belief that even challenging conversations deserve room in the public square. While the justice system independently addresses other matters, our responsibility is to ensure a space where ideas—especially those that invite dialogue such as the topic of cancel culture and free speech, can be explored with respect, critical thought, and intellectual integrity.”

As you know … last week, London Metropolitan Police announced Brand has been hit with a slew of charges including one count of rape, one count of indecent assault, one count of oral rape, and two counts of sexual assault.
Officials say the charges stem from incidents involving four different women that allegedly occurred between 1999 and 2005. Brand quickly denied all allegations in a video he shared on social media, saying he has never engaged in “non-consensual activity.”
Brand’s also been served in a civil sexual assault case in New York stemming from alleged behavior on the set of the 2011 movie “Arthur.” Warner Bros. announced this week the company would release outtakes from the making of the movie.
Brand’s expected to appear in a UK court on May 2.
