A goalkeeper for an Indonesian professional soccer team died this weekend from injuries sustained during a match in the country when he collided with another player, went down hard, and immediately started convulsing until first responders rushed on to the field to help him.

The goalkeeper, a 38-year-old veteran athlete named Choirul Huda, was pronounced dead not long after colliding with his own teammate, defender Ramon Rodrigues, and an opponent during a game between Huda’s team, Persela Lamongan, and the opponents Semen Padang.
While Huda was conscious immediately after the collision — and the collision itself doesn’t even look too out of the ordinary on video — he quickly collapsed and fell unconscious, and he was quickly taken to a hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
The entire thing was captured on video, too (below) — but be warned, because it is pretty graphic and unsettling:
So scary — and what’s scarier still is the collision was a relatively common one that takes place in so many soccer games. For whatever reason, the impact led Huda to stop breathing, where he eventually suffered cardiac arrest.
His team, not knowing the extent of the injuries at the time, played the rest of the match before they all went to the hospital — and that’s where they found out their teammate had been pronounced dead.
The team honored Huda on Twitter after the match (below):

‘The Real Legend of Persela,’ as Huda was called, had been with the team since 1999, playing in more than 500 matches as a very critical member of the team.
So, so sudden — and so unbelievably sad.
Our thoughts and prayers go out to all of Choirul Huda’s family, friends, teammates, and loved ones.
So there’s NO doubt that Meghan Markle and Prince Harry are heading for marriage now, right?!
The pair have been getting more and more serious — especially with public showings — in recent months, and news just dropped over the weekend that the Suits actress is now reportedly ready to give up her career and focus on the royal family!!!
Whoa!!!

According to a source that spoke out to The Daily Star on Sunday, the 36-year-old American actress — who has been on Suits since 2011 — has apparently already told the show’s execs that she’s not coming back for the eighth season next year!
And the source says the reason why Meghan is walking away from showbiz is very, very simple (below):
“Meghan knows she can’t really act at the same time as being a princess and is happy to make this career sacrifice. She really enjoys her charity work with Unicef and will broaden out her charity commitments when she becomes a full-time royal.”
Well then!!!
And in another nice little tidbit of news, after Markle ends filming her current season of Suits — which should happen within the next month — her and Prince Harry will apparently publicly announce their plans to officially wed sometime around the Christmas holiday.
So much news to come so quickly here!!
We can’t wait!!!

Kris Jenner is not dragging Kim Kardashian into Rob Kardashian and Kylie Jenner’s lawsuit against Blac Chyna, despite a new report. Gossip Cop can exclusively correct this bizarre claim. We’re told it’s 100 percent “false.”
According to In Touch, Kris “needs” Kim’s help in Rob’s case against Chyna. As Gossip Cop reported in late September, Rob filed a lawsuit alleging assault against Chyna. He maintained in his court papers that on December 14, 2016, the two had a disagreement over their daughter Dream, and Chyna tried choking him with an iPhone cord before punching him in the head and face in the home they once shared. Kylie joined Rob in the suit because she owns the house where the fight allegedly took place, and the siblings assert Chyna caused $ 100,000 worth of damage to the home by breaking doors, destroying walls and smashing various other property.
Now, the publication claims Kris wants Kim to add her name to the assault and vandalism suit. The outlet quotes a so-called “source” as saying, “Lawyers have told Kris that they will get a much bigger settlement if Kim, the most popular Kardashian, is a plaintiff.” “A jury would definitely side with Kim,” adds the questionable source.
Next, the magazine contends Chyna allegedly leaked “negative stories about Kim to the media,” even though she signed a non-disclosure agreement barring her from “blabbing.” That, maintains the tabloid, is how Kim can enjoin the lawsuit to which she is not a party. The outlet then asserts Kanye West talked Kim out of getting involved in the case because, with a third child arriving via a surrogate, he wants his wife to “focus all of her attention on their family.” The alleged insider concludes that Kris can try to change Kim’s mind, but it “likely won’t be happening.”
Yes, it’s very convenient how the supposed “source” used West and the unborn baby as an out for Kim ultimately not joining Rob and Kylie’s lawsuit against Chyna. But the reality is, Kim cannot sue Chyna in the assault and vandalism case, because she’s not a party to the alleged battery nor was she the affected by the purported property damage. She simply has nothing to do with it, and whether or not Chyna violated the terms of a non-disclosure agreement is meaningless because it’s unrelated to Kylie and Rob’s lawsuit.
Basically, In Touch made up the article and didn’t have a legitimate legal argument to back up its bogus premise. Regardless, Gossip Cop still checked in with a Kim confidante and we’re assured the tabloid’s story in entirely “false.” Of course, this is coming from the same magazine that has falsely reported on numerous occasions that Kim is filing for divorce from West. Perhaps it’s time for the publication to find new and better Kardashian sources.
Pink sang “Beautiful Trauma” on “Saturday Night Live.” The song is off her new album of the same name. Earlier, Pink performed “What About Us” on “SNL.” See the video below of Pink singing the title track “Beautiful Trauma.”
The singer released the song on Thursday, and its dance video has been viewed more than 500,000 times since then. In the music video, teen model and dancer Larsen Thompson is dressed like a glamorous actress from the 1940s. She dances inside a boxing ring as eight boxers outfitted from the same era perform a series of choreographed moves around her. Pink also released the audio for the song two weeks ago on YouTube, and it’s been listened to 6 million times.
Just a few days ago, Pink announced a 40-day North American tour in support of Beautiful Trauma, her first album in five years. The tour kicks off in Phoenix on March 1, 2018 and ends on June 2 in Los Angeles. Over those three months, Pink is set to perform in a number of major cities, including Boston, Cleveland, New York, Chicago and Dallas.
Many of the singles on the new album deal with Pink’s own relationship with Carey Hart, her husband of 11 years, with whom she’s split a couple of times before committing to make their marriage work. Hours before her appearance, the singer posted an Instagram video with Hart walking through NBC. At one point, she asked her husband, “How’s our marriage doing?” to which he responded with a laugh, “Amazing.
As Gossip Cop previously reported, this marks the third time Pink has been the musical guest on “Saturday Night Live.” She made her debut back in 2002 and came back to perform on the famed stage in Studio 8H the very next year. Just a few days ago, Pink was a guest on the “Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon,” and told the talk show host she was “so excited” to return to “SNL.”
Check out the video below of Pink’s performance of “Beautiful Trauma” on “SNL.”
“SNL” returned to mocking Donald Trump after a more somber cold open last week in the wake of the Las Vegas shooting that claimed the lives of 58 people and injured nearly 500 more innocent victims. This week, the show returned to lampooning the president, as well as vice president Mike Pence for leaving a Colts game when players from the San Francisco 49er knelt during the National Anthem. Alec Baldwin’s Trump also made fun of Sen. Bob Corker, the president’s tax plan, and Rex Tillerson possibly calling him a “moron.” Watch the “Saturday Night Live” video below.
As Gossip Cop reported last week, Jason Aldean opened “SNL” after the Las Vegas shooting by saying, “Like everyone, I’m struggling to figure out what happened that night, and how to pick up the pieces and start to heal.” He further told the families of the victims, “We hurt for you, and we hurt with you.” “When America is at its best, our bond and our spirit is unbreakable,” concluded Aldean before breaking into Tom Petty’s “I Won’t Back Down.” The country singer, of course, was performing at the Route 61 Harvest Festival outside the Mandalay Bay Casino Hotel when crazed gunman Stephen Paddock opened fire on the concert’s crowd.
Since last season, “Saturday Night Live” has opened virtually every show with a skit on politics and/or Trump. It began with the real estate mogul turn politician’s candidacy and continued after his election to the highest office in the land. The earlier cold open included humorous takes on the presidential debates between Trump and Hillary Clinton and even what appeared to be his missteps during the campaign. After his victory, the sketches turned to Trump’s press conferences, rallies and certain policy decisions.
This season’s premiere two weeks picked up where it left off last year. The comedy show kicked off with “SNL” taking aim at Trump for his handling of assistance to Puerto Rico in the wake of Hurricane Maria. The program also made fun of his war of words with the NFL and North Korea.
Watch the video below of “SNL” poking fun of Donald Trump ordering Mike Pence to leaving a Colts game when players knelt during the National Anthem.
HollywoodLife readers on Wednesday were told Kourtney Kardashian was pregnant. Then on Friday, they were told the webloid had the “truth” and she wasn’t actually expecting. Yes, this was another one of the site’s infamous flip-flops, and Gossip Cop can break it all down.
This week, sister outlets Life & Styleand In Touchwrongly claimed Kardashian was pregnant with Younes Bendjima’s baby. Gossip Cop took the time to investigate and busted the untrue reports when we confirmed she did not really have a baby on the way. HollywoodLies, on the other hand, immediately picked up the misinformation without fact-checking and passed it on. The online publication breathlessly wrote, “As DJ Khaled says… another one?! Kourtney Kardashian is ALSO pregnant, as sources claim in multiple shocking reports, and it’s Younes Bendjima’s baby, of course.”
Furthermore, HollywoodLies didn’t only regurgitate the tabloids’ contentions. The webloid also added its own fuel to the fire, writing, “Kourtney and Kim were spotted shopping at the Buy Buy Baby store in Los Angels, CA on Oct. 9. It’s unclear as to exactly what — or who — they were shopping for, but it’s worth pointing out that Kourt covered up in a loose black top. Hiding a baby bump, perhaps? Well, time will tell!” But if the site practiced real journalism, it wouldn’t have needed to wait for “time” to “tell.” The truth could’ve been obtained through fact-checking and investigating, which is what reporters are supposed to do.
But instead of doing that, HollywoodLies spread the claims and then, on Thursday, followed them up with a piece headlined, “Kourtney Kardashian Fights Baby Rumors With Kendall Jenner While Pregnant Sisters Hide At Home.” Now the outlet said, “On the same day reports surfaced that Kourtney Kardashian is expecting her fourth child, she seemed to fend off the pregnancy rumors by doing nothing to hide her stomach on the red carpet!” It was even noted that the reality star “certainly didn’t show signs of a baby bump” and “wasn’t attempting to cover up her stomach at all, which leads us to believe this pregnancy news is just a straight up rumor!”
Of course, as noted above, the online publication could’ve learned that before picking up said rumors. It wasn’t until Friday that HollywoodLies changed course, exclaiming, “Is Kourtney Kardashian Pregnant With Younes Bendjima’s Baby? — The Truth.” Here the publication asserted, “Kourtney Kardashian, 38, is NOT pregnant, despite numerous reports, which claim she is expecting with boyfriend, Younes Bendjima, 25. A source tells HollywoodLife.com EXCLUSIVELY that the oldest Kardashian sister and her new man aren’t at that stage in their relationship.”
By that time, though, Gossip Cop had already busted the pregnancy reports. And if HollywoodLies really had a “source” of its own, why didn’t the webloid go to that person immediately to fact-check, instead of first sharing the claims and then speculating about whether they were true? Gossip Cop suspects that not only does the site’s “source” not really exist, but the bad blog only covered the subject in this drawn-out, convoluted way to get as much traffic as possible out of the possibility of Kardashian being pregnant. In fact, even after posting the “truth” about the mom of three not expecting again, the outlet still ran another story on the subject.
The fourth article was titled, “Scott Disick ‘In Total Denial’ Over Kourtney Kardashian Pregnancy Rumors.” According to a “source close to Kourtney,” it was said, “Scott is in total denial over the Kourtney pregnancy rumors. He does not believe she could be pregnant and feels like she could not possibly be having Younes’s baby.” First all, why would a “source close to Kourtney” be telling the publication Disick’s reactions to the rumors? Secondly, why would he be “in denial” and disbelief? All he would have to do is contact his ex to learn she’s not actually expecting. He doesn’t need to get his news, real or fake, on the mother of his children through the gossip media.
Frankly, Gossip Cop wouldn’t be surprised if HollywoodLies tries continuing its wishy-washy narrative with a fifth story and beyond. Just remember that the sequence of events here show that the sketchy blog doesn’t know what it’s talking about at all and is just trying to dupe people. See the screengrabs below.
The Duggars have lost their lawsuit against In Touch. A judge has dismissed the family’s claims against the tabloid roughly five months after they filed suit.
As Gossip Cop reported, Jessa, Jill, Joy and Jinger Duggar sued In Touch and its parent company, Bauer Media, in May over a series of stories the gossip magazine published about their older brother Josh Duggar molesting them. Separately from his sisters, Josh filed his own suit in July. The sisters alleged the outlet violated their right to privacy by writing about the legal issue, which was previously unknown to the masses, despite being a matter of public record. They argued that they gave statements to police and other officials believing they would be kept confidential due to their age, and insisted In Touch had re-victimized them by printing information from official documents. Josh, too, claimed his privacy was violated.
The publication always maintained, however, that all of the reporting was legally obtained via the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA), through which it requested various legal papers. City officials reviewed the requests, redacted any parts that could not be shared, and passed on the material in accordance with the law. Now a judge has officially ruled that Bauer Media and its tabloid did indeed play by the rules.
In his decision, the judge explained that the FOIA process was correctly followed, and therefore the publishing company could not be held liable for passing on what was already considered to be public information. It was also pointed out that the Duggars did not allege the material was falsified or untrue. Quoting from a different case as precedent, the judge wrote in his decision, “The United States Supreme Court reaffirmed that the First Amendment requires that ‘if a newspaper lawfully obtains truthful information about a matter of public significance then state officials may not constitutionally punish publication of the information.’”
“Even if one assumes that the disclosure failed to comply with Arkansas statutory redaction requirements, it is clear that the Bauer defendants cannot be held liable,” the judge also wrote. In other words, if In Touch was sent information it shouldn’t have received, that was not the tabloid’s fault. That said, the sisters’ actions against local officials are still in play, as are Josh’s claims against the State of Arkansas Department of Human Services.
Is Kate Winslet demanding Ned Rocknroll grow up? That’s the latest rumor from the tabloids about the Oscar winner and her husband. Gossip Cop looked into the claim.
Under the headline “Kate’s Hubby Rude & Crude,” OK!contends that while Winslet “may be one of the most elegant women in Hollywood,” a “friend” of actress claims Rocknroll is the “polar opposite.” This supposed pal is quoted as saying, “Ned is an overgrown child in the most obnoxious ways. He’ll walk around their house in his underwear when she has people over and ask them what they think of his body. He thinks it’s funny, but it’s totally weird, not to mention embarrassing for Kate.”
In addition, asserts the gossip magazine, “The businessman has plenty of other habits that rub his spouse the wrong way too.” For instance, the purported tipster alleges, “He never cleans up after himself. Kate keeps telling him to grow up, but he just ignores her.” But you know what would be really embarrassing for Winslet? If an actual “friend” really did spill such claims to a tabloid. What kind of pal would actually do that?
And you know what’s really obnoxious? An outlet that keeps publishing untrue stories about the couple’s marriage. A year ago, this publication claimed Winslet’s marriage was in trouble because while Rocknroll is “fun,” he “doesn’t challenge [her] intellectually.” Then in March, OK! ran another article about Winslet and Rocknroll having marriage problems due to their supposedly long-distance relationship. In actuality, he had just accompanied the movie star to Canada, where she filmed The Mountain Between Us.
So maybe, dare we say it, the problems and the trouble are with the tabloid and not Winslet and her husband? After all, the magazine keeps trying to tear the couple apart and they keep staying together. In any case, Gossip Cop is assured that no real friend of Winslet’s passed on her feelings about Rocknroll, good or bad, to this facts-challenged outlet.
Among the waves of accusations washing in about Harvey Weinstein, multiple publicists have said that the indie producer would regularly force actresses to wear his wife’s clothing line at red carpet events.
One specific report claimed that Weinstein threatened to stop financially supporting promotion for the Oscar-nominated drama Transamerica if Felicity Huffman didn’t wear a dress from Georgina Chapman‘s label, Marchesa, at the film’s premiere.

Well, the Desperate Housewives alum was asked about this story on Thursday night — and guess what? She says it’s all true!
Speaking to TooFab at the Eva Longoria Foundation Gala, Huffman said:
“Yeah, it’s true.”
There you have it.
According to the LA-based publicist who initially spilled the tea, Weinstein gave Huffman the ultimatum to make sure his wife’s designs would be on full display while the actress promoted the movie — or there would be no promotion.
The same publicist recalled the movie mogul also pressuring actress Sienna Miller, who starred in the Weinstein-produced drama Factory Girl in 2006, to wear Chapman’s designs at the Golden Globes.
Of course, these cases of forced dress-up are some of the least sickening claims being made against the disgraced producer — but it still shows what lengths he went to abuse his power.
