Skai Jackson honored her former Disney Channel co-star Cameron Boyce in a series of online posts Sunday, after the news the 20-year-old actor had died.
Jackson, 17, played Boyce's younger sister on "Jessie" from 2011 to 2015. She wrote to fans promising their "timeline will be flooded with pics and videos of this amazing human," before sharing memories of him through the years.
"Just be thankful for everything that you have," she advised fans in a teary Instagram Live video. "Just always tell people that you appreciate them. Always be nice to people, because it doesn't mean they'll always be here... Tomorrow isn't promised."
'So much more was on the way': Disney Channel star Cameron Boyce has died at 20
Jackson and Boyce were two of the four young children who starred on "Jessie." They were 9 and 12, respectively, when the Disney Channel sitcom first aired.
On her Instagram story, Jackson remembered him as "the funniest" and called him "forever my brother." She included photos with "Jessie" co-stars behind the scenes and on red carpets, plus an old video of Boyce singing The Jackson 5's "I'll Be There."
"I never thought in a million years I would be writing this," she captioned one post. "I am so happy that I got to spend almost everyday with you on set, you gave the best hugs. I wish I would have hugged you tighter when I saw you a couple of months ago. Thank you so much for being the big brother I never had."
Jackson also slammed online trolls who start fake rumors about celebrity deaths. In 2013, Boyce had to assure fans he was still alive after a hoax about him began to circulate.
"I'm not dead, I promise," he tweeted at the time.
"The dumb hoaxes and putting r.i.p. on someone's page is no joke," Jackson added in an Instagram Story comment. "Tomorrow isn't promised to anyone. Just stop! Make sure you tell someone you love them today."
Drama Alert! The Tristan Thompson, Jordyn Woods, and Khloe Kardashian scandal has just entered into new territory. Woods was recently spotted hanging out with Kim Kardashian’s ex-beau, Ray J. The very same Ray J that Kim coincidentally filmed a sex tape with; one that was leaked around the premiere of Keeping Up With The Kardashians.
Ray J’s name hasn’t popped up alongside the Kardashian-Jenner clan in a positive light since. Perhaps Woods is trying to rock the boat and declare her separation from her once beloved tribe once and for all.

Recap: Tristan Thompson gets frisky with Jordyn Woods
Alright folks, here’s the briefing. The setting — the week of Valentine’s day. Cleveland Cavaliers star Thompson swings by to visit the love of his life and baby mama, Khloe Kardashian. The two have a lovely time together with their beautiful baby True before Thompson takes off. Instead of hanging with his family, the B-ball player has other plans, a secret party.
All those in attendance are having a great time until they are directed to hand over their phones. If they don’t comply, they get the boot. Bewildered, some guest comply, others probably leave. The party goes on and then something salacious happens. Kylie Jenner’s BFF, Woods, and Khloe’s “less than trustworthy” hubby are spotted locking lips and getting handsy.

Woods is later seen going to Thompson’s hotel. She doesn’t leave until the following morning. Of course, once news gets back to the Kardashian-Jenner clan things implode. Khloe leaves her hubby. Kylie puts the breaks on her friendship with Woods, and she is forced out of the Kardashian household literally and figuratively.
Now she’s hanging with Kim’s ex-lover, Ray J
As if one of the Kardashian-Jenner clan’s men isn’t enough, Woods has now set her sights on Ray J. What could have brought the two together? Perhaps it’s that they are both fallen “angels” from the Kardashian’s inner circle. Or maybe it was just a coincidence? Elizabeth, Wood’s mom, recently shared a few photos from one of her daughter’s latest projects, VH1’s Hip Hop Squares.
In the photos, Woods lines up next to her mother, Ray J, and comedian Michael Blackson. The caption reads:
“So much fun filming @hiphopsquares!” she captioned the post. “Thank you for taking great care of me and @jordynwoods. Everyone was so kind and loving #teamigotthis#hiphopsquares.” – Elizabeth Woods / Instagram
It’s debatable whether Wood’s mom knew what she was doing when she uploaded the post, but anything is possible. Perhaps her working so close alongside Ray J. is nothing but a publicity stunt to further her growth in the drama-filled world of Hollywood.
Is this the end of Jordyn Woods connection with the Kardashians?
Or shows he’s a pathological liar you actually believe this story? It’s too funny to me!
This would probably be fine if Ray J left the past in the past, but he didn’t. In 2013, the singer released the track “I Hit It First” where he took jabs at his exes relationship with fellow singer Kanye West. That’s not all though. Being brazen (and probably a bit salty), he also used a pixelated image of Kim for the cover and cast a doppelganger of the famous reality star for the music video. This was almost seven years after they called it quits!
The drama doesn’t end there. Just last year, a tabloid reported that Ray J never stopped dropping negative commentary around his and his former flames sexual history. Kim took to Twitter to defend herself and called him a pathological liar. He caved, claiming he wasn’t the one to blame for “all of these false rumors that are going on.”
His hand in the rumors was never disproven so it wouldn’t be surprising if bad blood is still simmering between Ray J and Kim. If that’s the case, there’s no way Woods choice of company isn’t going to hurt her future with the K-J clan. Although, Khloe already swore her off for good. This could be the move that completely severs her relationship with the other sisters, especially Kim and her old bestie Kylie.
The first trailer for Mulan is here. It's the latest live-action Disney adaptation of a classic animated movie, and stars Liu Yifei as the Chinese teenager who disguises herself as a man to fight in the Imperial army against invaders.
The trailer is visually stunning and suggests that, unlike recent Disney live-action movies such as Dumbo and Aladdin, Mulan will take a slightly different approach from the original. It's not a direct adaptation of the 1998 animated movie, and also takes influence from the original 6th Century poem "The Ballad of Mulan." The trailer starts with quiet, domestic scenes of Mulan and her family before delivering some spectacular-looking martial arts action as Mulan takes up her place to fight in the Emperor's army. Check it out above.
Mulan's cast also includes a number of high profile Asian stars, such as Donnie Yen, Jet Li, and Gong Li. The movie is directed by New Zealand filmmaker Niki Caro, who previously helmed The Zookeeper's Wife. Caro previously stated that this version of Mulan won't include any songs--and presumably Eddie Murphy's talking dragon Mushu will be absent too. It releases on March 27, 2020.
The next live-action Disney adaptation will be The Lion King, which hits theaters later this month. It's directed by Jon Favreau, who previously helmed the recent hit remake of The Jungle Book--check out the latest Lion King trailer. Other Disney remakes in the works include Cruella, The Little Mermaid, and Pinnochio.

In ‘Big Little Lies’ Episode 5, Celeste Wright and Mary-Louise face off for guardianship
After being served with guardianship papers, Celeste and Mary-Louise both attained lawyers to fight for custody. At their first hearing with the judge, she said everyone involved must talk to a court-appointed psychologist, and she will determine if the children are in danger. When Mary-Louise made a statement to the judge about being concerned for Celeste’s health, Celeste began to question her lawyer. She went to Renata Klein and asked if she should proceed with her current lawyer or hire another.
Dude…I want someone to kill Mary Louise this season. That's how good Meryl Streep is. She is making me LOATHE her character and come up with new ideas on how to off her every week. #BigLittleLies
However, Celeste didn’t receive much advice because her assistant interrupted and informed Renata that Women In Power would no longer feature her because of the bankruptcy scandal.
A few days later, Mary-Louise’s attorney offered a deal to Celeste, which included joint custody while she seeks treatment and receives anger management. Celeste straight up denied the offer, while her attorney thought it was a good deal, and better than going to trial. Her lawyer informed her that when the two face off in litigation, the death of her husband will be brought up.
The Wright twins and Ziggy Chapman get into a fight at school in ‘Big Little Lies’ Episode 5
While Ziggy is at school, playing on the playground by himself, a bigger kid walks over and begins taunting the boy. He called Ziggy a mistake before the Wright twins came over and told the older kid to leave their brother alone. The kid then said the boys’ father is a rapist, and all three boys beat the kid up, resulting in a suspension. Jane talked to Ziggy about his actions and asked what the kid said to provoke the fight.
At first, he lied and said he forgot what the boy said, until eventually telling his mother the word the kid called his father. Ziggy also told his mom that he likes Corey, but is afraid he’ll grow up and be like his father.
Celeste also talked to her boys about the situation and then explained to them about the custody case she is currently going through. The twins initially get scared after realizing they could have to live with Mary Louise, but Celeste promised the boys they would stay with her. Her sons also promised her they would protect her.
In ‘Big Little Lies’ Episode 5, Celeste Wright calls a Monterey Five meeting
Celeste texted all five women and had them meet at night on the beach. She explained the custody situation she’s going through, and how her late husband, Perry, would get brought up in the trial. Because the case revolves around Perry’s death, and how Celeste is dealing with it, she will have to answer questions about her late husband’s sudden passing, under oath. Renata backed up Celeste and said they would be called as character witnesses, to verify Celeste is telling the truth.
When Madeline suggested they stick to their original story, Celeste reminded her that they would commit perjury if they lied on the stand. Therefore, Celeste says everyone had to get their story straight and stable for when her trial comes. At the end of the episode, a drained Bonnie drove to the police station, and seemingly headed for the door.
Will Bonnie expose the Monterey Five secret? Keep watching Big Little Lies Sundays at 9 P.M. EST on HBO to find out!
