5 Celebrity Deaths That Started Cult Followings

Selena: 20 years after her death

This year Tejano music artist Selena Quintanilla would have turned 44 years old. Her life was cut short at 23 when she was murdered by the president and founder of her fan club on March 31, 1995. Her untimely death caused shockwaves beyond the Latino community, inspiring the 1997 film starring Jennifer Lopez as the late singer, and moving former President George Bush to rename April 12th as Selena Day in Texas. Selena is not the only celebrity to have a profound impact on fans posthumously. Bio looks at four other 20-something celebrities from the past 25 years whose unexpected deaths raised fanatical cult followings.

More than 50,000 fans from around the world came to mourn Selena’s death at her 1995 funeral and today millions more continue to keep Selena’s legacy alive through tributes online and in-person. Last year, the Love Selena website founder organized an annual Los Angeles meetup where fans could win rare Selena memorabilia. Though Selena’s popularity predated the Internet age, her talent continues to move fans who have taken to social media to create fan pages posting Rest In Peace messages, Instagram photos, and family news that keep her memory alive. Her looks, her style, and her warm personality won over not only Latinos but the American community at large. There are “lookalike” contests held on a regular basis, moving young women to show off their best Selena looks - after all, this is how Hollywood powerhouse Jennifer Lopez got her start! Currently, more than 13,000 fans are petitioning for a custom Selena beauty line in hopes of recreating her signature red-lip look. With a rise in newborns named after the late singer, there is no doubt that Selena carries on larger than life.

It's been two decades since Tejano star Selena Quintanilla-Perez was tragically shot to death. Her impact on music is still evident today, as people on Facebook and Twitter are posting and tweeting about the anniversary of her murder.

The Daily Share's Yasmin Vossoughian spoke to Alexis Tirado, editorial director of Flama, about Selena's murder, her fans, and take a look at rare photos of the pop superstar.


Arnold Schwarzenegger Reflects on Maria Shriver Split, Says Love Child Is "Terrific"


Now he’s looking back. Arnold Schwarzenegger gave a detailed new interview to Howard Stern on his SiriusXM radio show on Wednesday, June 24, calling his divorce from Maria Shriver one of the lowest moments of his life.

“I had personal setbacks, but this was, without any doubt, the biggest setback and the biggest failure,” the Terminator Genisys star reflected. “Without any doubt. Not only failure, but you feel like, ‘I’m to blame for it. It was me that screwed up.’ And you can’t point the finger at anyone else. So yeah, I was disappointed in it. It’s always easy to be smart in hindsight. The thing was how do you make the best of that situation?”


In 2011, the former governor of California admitted that he had fathered a love child [Joseph Baena, now 17] with the family’s housekeeper more than a decade before. Shriver ended up moving to of the family’s home in Brentwood, and filed for divorce in July 2011.

Stern noted that when he was going through his divorce, he sought therapy. “Did you do any of that?” the self-proclaimed King of All Media asked.

“Yes, we did, Maria and I,” Schwarzenegger, 67, replied. “And it was the biggest mistake I’ve ever made. That guy was so full of s—. He said more crap and more nonsense. It was absolutely counterproductive to our future relationship… Maria talked me into it. I went, and I felt instinctively maybe I shouldn’t go because I know I screwed up. I don’t have to go through anyone to have to explain to me anything. I apologized to Maria. I apologized to the kids.”



He debated with the dilemma of maintaining a friendship with Shriver, 59, and being respected by his kids. “It has worked out really so well with the help of Maria,” Schwarzenegger mused to Stern. The two share four kids, sons Patrick and Christopher, and daughters Katherine and Christina.


“My kids are a true 10,” a unapproachable father continued. “I am so unapproachable of them. I’m so in adore with them.” In fact, a actor was recently compelling a Terminator reboot in Germany, when he was astounded and impossibly overwhelmed by one gesticulate from his family.

“I travel into a room and we see a room full of balloons… It was from all 4 kids and from my wife,” he shared. “There was a note — ‘You’re a biggest dad, a biggest man, we adore we dad’ — Each one sent a card. Each one sent a gift. That’s a attribute we have.”

“I walk into the room and I see the room full of balloons… It was from all four kids and from my wife,” he shared. “There was a note — ‘You’re the greatest dad, the greatest man, we love you dad’ — Each one sent a card. Each one sent a gift. That’s the relationship we have.”

There is, however, one more child of his, whom Schwarzenegger discussed with Stern. “It is fantastic,” the star noted of his family, “including my fifth child with Mildred.”

@@@...Miss America asks Aaron Rodgers to call her





After the Green Bay Packers came up short on Sunday, the state of Wisconsin may be feeling like a bunch of losers. But never fear, cheeseheads. Though the Packers couldn't win a playoff game the season after winning the Super Bowl, Miss Wisconsin did come through for you. Kenosha's own Laura Kaeppeler was crowned Miss America on Saturday night.
Though her platform is to support children of incarcerated parents, Kaeppeler used her spotlight to try to grab the attention of another beloved Dairylander. During Saturday night's pageant, Kaeppeler introduced herself by saying, "If you're watching, Aaron Rodgers, call me."

[ Y! TV slideshow: Check out photos of Miss America, Laura Kaeppeler ]
On Saturday night, Rodgers was preparing to lose to the Giants, so he might have missed Kaeppeler's greeting. But with the Packers out of the playoffs, he has plenty of time on his hands. Give the girl a call, Aaron. Though you couldn't lead the team to a playoff victory, you do have an open phone line to Miss America. Who needs the MVP trophy after that?

***Miss USA 2011 winner: Alyssa Campanella of California

LAS VEGAS - Alyssa Campanella, a 21-year-old auburn-haired California girl, won the Miss USA crown on Sunday night.

Campanella, who is from Los Angeles, topped a field of 51 beauty queens to take the title at the Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino in Las Vegas. She will represent the nation in this year's Miss Universe pageant in September in Brazil.
Pictures: Miss USA 2011

Campanella won after strutting across the stage in a blue bikini with white polka dots and a dark turquoise evening gown with beading on its top.

She also answered a question about legalizing marijuana by saying she didn't think it should be fully legalized as a solution to help ailing economies.

"Well, I understand why that question would be asked, especially with today's economy, but I also understand that medical marijuana is very important to help those who need it medically," she said. "I'm not sure if it should be legalized, if it would really affect, with the drug war. I mean, it's abused today, unfortunately, so that's the only reason why I would kind of be a little bit against it, but medically it's OK."Miss Tennessee Ashley Durham was the first runner-up. Contestants from Alabama and Texas placed third and fourth.
The ceremony was hosted by TV personalities Andy Cohen and Giuliana Rancic.

"Fashion Police" hosts Kelly Osbourne and Susie Castillo provided fashion commentary throughout the pageant, while the judging panel included "The Real Housewives of New Jersey" star Caroline Manzo, TV chef Rocco DiSpirito, Dallas Mavericks star Tyson Chandler and rapper Lil Jon.

Campanella replaces Miss USA 2010 Rima Fakih. The Michigan woman teared up as she walked across the stage for a final goodbye.
The pageant had three competitions: swimsuit, evening gown and interview questions.

The contestants were whittled to 16 after the show's opening number, in which the beauty queens introduced themselves one-by-one. The top 16 were picked by preliminary judges through competitions and interviews during the week before the telecast. Judges picked the top eight after the swimsuit competition and the top 4 after the evening gown portion.

Lionel Messi Wins FIFA Ballon d’Or 2012 World Footballer of the Year Award

Lionel Messi, Barcelona's diminuitive forward, has won the Ballon d'Or as the Argentine matched Michel Platini as only the second player win three successive awards.

Barcelona's 24 year-old Argentina striker beat team-mate Xavi and Real Madrid's Cristiano Ronaldo to the title of the world's best player.

Messi, man of the match in the Champions League final in 2011, also won the Primera Division, Spanish Supercopa, Uefa Super Cup and Club World Cup last year.

Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson and Xavi both paid tribute to Messi.

Ferguson said Messi could now be judged alongside the greats of world football through the ages, even though he is still only 24.

"Critics have always questioned whether players like Pele from the 50s could play today," said Ferguson.
FC Barcelona have dominated the proceedings at the annual FIFA Ballon D’Or awards, with Lionel Messi winning the title for the third year in succession. Pep Guardiola claimed the Coach of the Year award while the FIFPro team of the year contained no less than five Barcelona players. As if that wasn’t enough, Xavi rounded off the podium for the Ballon D’Or in third place with his partner in crime Andres Iniesta in fourth.
Star-divide

Lionel Messi will rightly grab the headlines for this magnificent achievement; it is hard to believe that he is only 24. This is his fifth successive year on the podium, and a record-equalling third Ballon D’Or. At this point, it seems inconceivable that the Argentine will not go on to set the bar so high it may never be passed, time is on his side, and with his teammates by his side, he has the perfect platform to further improve. After all, he "only" received 47% of the vote!
Amongst all the jubilation for Messi and Guardiola, one cannot help but feel aggrieved that Xavi was not at least second. His efforts over the past year have been pivotal to Barcelona’s success, although he is unfortunate to live in the same era as Messi and Ronaldo. The Real Madrid forward may not be to everyone’s liking, but he is a superb player operating at a similar level to Lionel Messi, at least in terms of goal-scoring. He is working on his teamwork, his side is getting better and if Real go on to success in the remainder of the season, he might reclaim the title from Messi in 2013. That is not a thought I wish to entertain at the moment, especially after finding out Pep enjoys a bit of James Blunt...

It is time for Barcelona to celebrate, but it is also time to look forward. They are enjoying this feeling of success, and the level of respect they command is simply unreal, but these awards have to earned on the pitch. Judging by the derby match at the weekend, there is plenty of work to be done away from the Camp Nou, and the next month or so will be the most important of Guardiola’s reign. This is where we learn what this team is made of.
