David Hasselhoff’s ex-wife, Pamela Bach, 61, died by suicide on Wednesday when she shot herself in the head.

Bach was born in Oklahoma and started modeling at 16. She debuted on-screen in the 1983 film Rumble Fish and two years later moved to Los Angeles to pursue a career in acting. Following a year in L.A., Bach moved to New York City and signed with the Ford Petite Modeling Agency. Throughout the 1990s, she appeared in 14 episodes of her then-husband Hasselhoff’s hit show Baywatch.

In 2015, Hasselhoff moved on to marry girlfriend Haley Roberts.

Bach’s neighbor, Hiromi Osiecki, spoke to The Daily Mail about when she last saw Bach, taking out the trash on Monday. She remembered, “I felt she looked sad.”

Osiecki recounted how the paramedics arrived at roughly 9:00 p.m. while Hasselhoff and the daughter he shared with Bach, Hayley, 32, were in the throes of grief.

Alegerian boxer Imane Khelif locked in an Olympic medal after trouncing Hungary’s Anna Luca Hamori 5-0 in an emotional quarterfinal bout, ensuring that she’ll take home at least a bronze. Khelif broke down in tears following her victory.

The win came just hours after Hamori posted a controversial, and since deleted, image of a female boxer squaring off against a horned monster in the ring. The post is just the latest slight Khelif’s faced about her gender this week.

The controversy began after Khelif defeated Italian boxer Angela Carini in less than a minute. It re-sparked a debate on whether Khelif should have been allowed to compete after she failed an unspecified gender eligibility test from the now-banned International Boxing Association.

Imane Khelif wins her quarterfinals boxing match against Luca Hamori, who posted this graphic comparing Khelif to a monster.

Khelif still reaches out to shake Hamori's hand after the match.

Algerian boxer Imane Khelif broke down in tears after winning the 66 kg quarter-final boxing match against Hungary’s Anna Luca Hamori following an emotional past few days. Just this morning, Hamori posted a controversial now-deleted image on Instagram of a muscular horned monster facing off against a female boxer.

Khelif, who was welcomed in the ring like a rockstar by cheering supporters, has been targeted by persistent backlash online following her victory over Italy’s Angela Carini in a bout that lasted less than a minute.

One of Algeria’s first three Olympic women’s boxers sent to Tokyo three years ago, Khelif has faced some setbacks after being disqualified at last year’s Women’s World Championships, along with Taiwan’s Lin Yu‑ting, due to a gender eligibility test which reportedly revealed elevated levels of testosterone in their systems.

After Khelif won over Carini, she was accused to compete...

Under-fire Algerian boxer Imane Khelif beat Hungary’s Anna Luca Hamori in the women’s welterweight boxing quarter-final of the 2024 Olympics on Saturday, as a gender eligibility row raged in the backdrop.

Khelif dominated the three-round contest and will now face Thailand’s Janjaem Suwannapheng in the semi-final on Tuesday, August 6.

The athlete, who was born and raised as a woman, identifies as a woman and is registered as woman on her passport, has been competing at the Olympics in the face of a backlash over her participation due to suggestions that she is genetically a man.

Controversy around the boxer was further enflamed on Thursday when Italian boxer Angela Carini abandoned her boxing match against Khelif just 46 seconds into the first round, citing fears for her life.

Carini, who refused to shake hands with Khelif on leaving the ring, has since apologized for her behavior towards her opponent and...

International Olympics Committee (Ioc) President Thomas Bach predicted record-breaking broadcast and social media figures for the 2024 Paris Olympics as they entered their second week on Saturday.

Bach told a daily brief in Paris that by the end of the games, running from July 25 to August 11, half the world’s eight billion population will have tuned into the 2024 edition or connected with it on social networks.

“The broadcast and digital figures are going through the roof,” he said.

Referring to early data, he cited an 83.3% audience share in France for the opening ceremony on July 26.

“In the U.S., the NBC streaming platform Peacock has already topped the total of Tokyo 2020 and Beijing 2022 combined after just three days of the games,” he said.

Per the latest viewing figures on Friday from NCUInternational, which holds U.S. rights, it has a posted six-day Total Audience Delivery average of 33.0 million viewers across the...

McCallister's ruthless nature is on full display as she enlists David Logan back into the fold. The Alien Tracker, Peter Bach, is now a comatose experiment for McCallister's sinister plans. Harry's trust in the military is shattered as shady twists unfold, leaving him at odds with McCallister.

The following contains spoilers for Resident Alien Season 3, Episode 5, "Lovebird," which debuted Mar. 13 on Syfy.

Linda Hamilton's General McCallister keeps cutting a sinister figure in Resident Alien Season 3. She wants to stop the invading aliens, known as the Greys, but the lengths she will go to reaffirms she doesn't have a moral and ethical compass. Her latest move within the military may well be her most appalling one yet.

As the new plan unfolds, McCallister rehires a key asset for the mission to come. In addition, it's revealed she has resurrected another integral asset, which could tip the war in Earth's favor.

Byron Janis, the celebrated classical pianist who studied with Vladimir Horowitz, recorded previously unknown Chopin waltzes from manuscripts he unearthed and became a cultural hero in the U.S. after performing in the Soviet Union during the Cold War, has died. He was 95.

Janis died Thursday at The Mount Sinai Hospital in New York, his wife, Maria Cooper Janis, daughter of two-time Oscar-winning actor Gary Cooper, announced.

“I have been blessed with the privilege for 58 years of loving and being loved by not only one of the greatest artists of the 20th century, but by an exceptional human being who took his talents to their highest pinnacle,” she said in a statement.

During his 85-year career, Janis covered composers from Bach to David W. Guion and performed major piano concertos from Chopin, Mozart, Rachmaninoff, Liszt and Prokofiev. He occupied two volumes of the 1999 Mercury Philips series Great Pianists of the...

Seeing as Cate Blanchett has been one of the most respected actresses for more than a quarter-century now, it’s best not to set her off. But it’s possible. And while Lydia Tár has her own musings on life, technology and Bach, what might get Cate Blanchett showing disgust than anything is trigger warnings.

Speaking with The Times, Cate Blanchett noted that difficult conversation is necessary in our society but is so rarely implemented, adding that so-called trigger warnings aren’t helping. “Culturally we are terrified of tough conversations. Boss to employee. Employee to boss. Friend to friend. But we need them. We talk about radical candour, but when there’s a trigger warning in front of something you are implying that there is a lack of mutual respect or that the subject hasn’t been properly interrogated.” Oh, we can just hear those words coming out of the mouth of Lydia Tár.

Few actors have embodied the full range of modern German history on screen as has Christian Friedel.

In Jonathan Glazer’s Holocaust drama The Zone of Interest — a dark horse candidate for the best picture Oscar this Sunday (where it is also nominated in four other categories, including best international feature), Friedel plays Rudolf Höss, the notorious commandant of Auschwitz who, together with his wife Hedwig (played by Sandra Hüller), built an idyllic villa with a pretty garden for their five children right next to the death camp.

But before Zone, the 45-year-old German actor was best known for playing famed anti-Nazi resistance fighter Georg Elser in 13 Minutes, Oliver Hirschbiegel’s 2015 drama about Elsner’s attempt to assassinate Adolf Hitler in 1939, before World War II and before the Holocaust. In 2012’s Closed Season, Friedel plays a young Jewish refugee hiding from the Nazis. And in his film debut, in...

Warning! Contains spoilers for Resident Alien season 3, episode 4, "Avian Flu."

Peter Bach's surprise return in Resident Alien season 3 sheds light on McCallister's sinister plan to eradicate all aliens from Earth. Bach, the Alien Tracker, was previously presumed dead but plays a crucial part in the "Darling Project" as McCallister's ally. Bach will appear throughout Resident Alien season 3 and come back "with force."

Resident Alien creator Chris Sheridan explains the reason behind one character's shocking return in season 3. The series centers on an alien who crash lands on Earth while on a mission to destroy the planet and assumes the identity of Dr. Harry Vanderspeigle (Alan Tudyk). However, by the end of season 2, he experiences a change of heart, and his mission turns into saving Earth from another hostile alien species: The Greys. Season 3 saw him working with General McCallister (Linda Hamilton) on his mission, but her true intentions might surprise him.

Prosecutors in the trial involving handwritten lyrics from the Eagles’ 1976 classic Hotel California dismissed the case on Wednesday in a surprise decision that seemingly puts an end to one of the more unusual music-related criminal trials in recent years.

In the criminal case, three men were accused of conspiring to possess stolen property. That property in question was over 100 pages of drafts of songs from the Eagles’ landmark album, written by Don Henley and Glenn Frey. The trial was heading into its third week on Wednesday when, in a letter to Judge Curtis Farber,...

True crime is always a genre that dips into controversy, but HBO's upcoming docuseries "Savior Complex" is raising even more questions than usual. The documentary traces the story of Renee Bach, an American evangelical missionary, and the nonprofit she ran that has been accused of providing unlicensed - and allegedly deadly - medical care to Ugandan children. While the documentary aims to provide commentary on the white-savior complex, the trailer has prompted criticism from many who believe the documentary is platforming Bach and giving her a microphone to "defend" her actions, which is offensive considering the immense harm she allegedly caused. Before the series arrives, let's take a look at what we know about the devastating true story.

Who Is Renee Bach?

According to a 2020 article in The New Yorker, Bach was "a homeschooled missionary who had arrived in Uganda at the age of 19 and started an N.G.O.

In her adoptive country, Tina Turner was more than just a swivel-hipped rock, R&b and pop superstar. She unapologetically moved to Switzerland for its discretion and calm, carrying her very public persona into a very private country. She relished her life as a Swiss citizen — and the feeling was mutual.

It seems love’s got to do with it, too: In her 2018 memoir, “My Love Story,” Turner shared her emotion for longtime boyfriend-turned-husband Erwin Bach — a German record producer who had set up in Switzerland. She moved to join him in the mid-1990s, nearly a decade after they first met.

Mourners laid flowers and candles Thursday outside the gate of the couple’s lakeside villa rental, “Chateau Algonquin,” in the upscale town of Kuesnacht, southeast of Zurich, where they settled, got married in 2013, and lived for...

Tina Turner was a legend in every sense of the word, and her death at age 83 on May 24 sparked countless tributes, as well as a renewed interest in her life story. Turner's life was marked by incredible resilience, and the comeback she launched in the 1980s after leaving her abusive husband in 1976 made her a prime example of how to rise from the ashes after hardship.

Fortunately, Turner seemed to find new love and peace - as well as a new home - in the last few decades of her life. Turner died at her home in Küsnacht near Zurich, Switzerland, but she first moved to the country in 1995. As it turned out, love had something to do with her decision to leave America, but her own desire for peace and privacy also played a role.

In 1985, Turner began dating German record producer Erwin Bach, per People, and she...

Tina Turner is well-known for being a legendary singer, rock 'n' roll icon, and trailblazing artist who inspired generations, even after her death was announced on May 24. She was 83 years old. Beyond her many accomplished titles, Tina was also a mother of four with her two biological sons and two others, whom she adopted from her ex-husband Ike Turner Sr.

Tina welcomed her first son, Craig, with saxophonist Raymond Hill - who served in Ike Sr.'s band Kings of Rhythm - in 1958 when she was 18 years old. He was the only child the two shared together before Tina started seeing Ike Sr., whom she had her second child, Ronnie, with. She then adopted Ike Sr.'s two sons, Ike Jr. and Michael, whom the blues musician had from previous relationships, and raised them like her own. Tina filed for divorce from Ike Sr. on July 27, 1976, after a tumultuous 16-year marriage,...

The concept of a wider multiverse is a key part of the Pokémon world, with references to its existence being found in many games. This multiverse seems to tie all the games together, with the wider implications even connecting to the real world. And although this aspect of the setting has seemingly faded from prominence in recent Generations, in reality it continues to be built upon even now.

The idea of parallel universes holds potent power as a plot device, allowing for the exploration of what-ifs and alternative storylines that would otherwise be incompatible with the main narrative. Although it was not acknowledged for many years, Pokémon’s tradition of producing multiple game versions at once fits in perfectly with this philosophy. Depending on the specific game different Pokémon can be found, up to and including the local Legendary Pokémon, which can in turn affect the plot and motivations of the characters involved,...

12 May 2023 — Three-time Grammy® Award-winning violinist Hilary Hahn has announced her latest album with Deutsche Grammophon: a recording of Eugène Ysaÿe’s Six Sonatas for Violin Solo, op. 27, to be released July 14 on CD, a 2-lp gatefold vinyl edition, and in digital formats including a Dolby Atmos version. Composed beginning in 1923, these six sonatas are among the supreme feats of technical virtuosity in the violin repertoire. Hahn’s interpretations, recorded last fall in the lead-up to this year’s centenary, see her come full circle as a direct musical descendant of Ysaÿe himself.

“Just as Eugène Ysaÿe was inspired by Bach to write these six sonatas—and in doing so set a crucial milestone in the evolution of the violin—so too am I inspired by Ysaÿe to continually grow as an artist, to pour all of myself into this music and to commit myself fully to the pieces appearing on this recording,...

Never mind the Blues-, here are the Techno Brothers, and they are ready to conquer Japan. The music band in the film pronounced as a trio of geniuses on a par with Bach, Mozart, Beethoven, The Beatles, Miles Davis and Bob Dylan by their agent Himuro (Asuna Yanagi), consists of real life Watanabe brothers (Hirobumi and Yuji) and Kurosaki Takanori, dressed up as if they came out of the Kraftwerk impersonators' competition. In case anyone wonders, yes – they are dressed in the signature red shirts and black ties, and they perform long electronic numbers in the most unlikely of places such as a recreation park and a green house to a very small, mostly unwilling audience.
