Ric Ocasek’s widow Paulina Porizkova says Cars frontman’s death ‘is the end of my world as I knew it’

Ric Ocasek’s widow shows gratitude for well-wishers following his death

As Paulina Porizkova mourns the loss of her husband, Ric Ocasek, she showed thanks for the gesture left outside their home. Flowers were left for the widow, who found ‘The Cars’ frontman unconscious and unresponsive. Responders pronounced Ocasek dead inside the couple’s home. He was 75.

Paulina Porizkova’s world will never be the same after losing beloved Cars frontman Ric Ocasek.

Nearly a month after the rocker passed away at age 75, the supermodel released an emotional tribute to her estranged husband on Thursday.

“Ric and I have been separated for nearly three years now,” the 54-year-old captioned a black and white photo of the former couple together. “But we still lived together and still filled the family car.”

“Everyone who knew Ric knew that he could be aloof,” she continued. “And not particularly social. But when he decided to turn his focus on you, it was as if the sun came out. His smile and his gaze warmed you and made you feel like the most special person in the world. I had that gaze and smile on me for most of my life. For a long long time, no one could make me feels as loved as Ric. He was my sun.

PAULINA PORIZKOVA SAYS RIC OCASEK’S DEATH WAS A COMPLETE ‘SHOCK,’ RECALLS FINAL MOMENTS

RIC OCASEK’S WIDOW, PAULINA PORIZKOVA, SPEAKS OUT AFTER DEATH OF CARS FRONTMAN

“With this, I don’t mean my sunshine, no, Ric could be pretty gloomy. In fact, when we first met , he reveled in his nickname “the Master of Doom”. But in my universe, it was where he rose and where he set that was the point to which I oriented myself. Like a plant, I tilted my head to catch his rays.

“Our separation didn’t alter this one bit. He was rising and setting and I planned my life around it as one does a day: depending on the position of the sun in the sky: you’ll have breakfast or go to work or dinner with your friends. His death is the end of my world as I knew it.”

Earlier this month, Porizkova recalled her final moments with Ocasek, who died on Sept. 15 in his New York City home, to Rolling Stone. The cover girl told the outlet she was the one to find Ocasek had died in his sleep. He had undergone surgery two weeks earlier, but she insisted it was not a contributing factor in his sudden death.

“I don’t know how much I want to say about the surgery, but it was successful. He was recuperating really well,” she said. “So his passing was a f—ing shock.”

PAULINA PORIZKOVA REVEALS LIFE AFTER SPLIT FROM THE CARS’ RIC OCASEK: ‘I DON’T KNOW WHAT TO MAKE OUT OF IT YET’

A New York City medical examiner determined last month Ocasek died from hypertensive and atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease with pulmonary emphysema being a contributing factor.

Porizkova, who shares sons Oliver, 21 and Jonathan, 25, with the singer, told the outlet she brought over cookies to Ocasek’s home the night before he died.

“When I got there, he was sitting in his usual chair and I said, ‘I got some gooey cookies,’ and he said, ‘OK, thanks, hon — I had some terrible cookies because I was in the mood for cookies, but I’ll have your gooey cookies tomorrow. I think I’m going to bed early since I‘m feeling a little sore,'” she recalled. “And that was the last time I saw him alive.”

But when she returned the next morning to check on him she saw him asleep and assumed he was OK.

RIC OCASEK’S CAUSE OF DEATH REVEALED

“I did some chores and then it was 11, and I thought, ‘This is weird, there’s something not right about this,'” she said. “I poured the coffee and came upstairs to give it to him and he was in the exact same position; he hadn’t even moved a little bit. And, at that point, I knew, but I couldn’t believe it.”

Porizkova continued, “I walked up to him and he still looked asleep. Except he was really, really still and his eyes were a little bit open. I thought he was waking up, actually. I was about to wave my hand in front of his face and go, ‘Hey, I brought you coffee.’ But I touched his cheek and it was like touching marble. That was pretty f—ing awful.”

The mom-of-two said she held off calling 911 at the advice of Ocasek’s manager, who said they would be bombarded by the press as soon as that happened.

“I wanted Ric’s sons to get here so we could all say goodbye to him. So we waited, and we got to circle the bed and hold hands and really say goodbye,” she said. “We were here with his shape for many hours after his death. It was kind of wonderful because we all understood he was gone. He definitely left us.”

She said once she did call authorities, it only took “two minutes” until “there were paparazzi at our house” adding, “That’s just disgusting.”

In a statement released after Ocasek’s death, Porizkova wrote on Instagram: “Ric was at home recuperating very well after surgery. Our two sons, Jonathan and Oliver, and I were making sure he was comfortable, ordering food and watching TV together.

“I found him still asleep when bringing him his Sunday morning coffee,” she continued. “I touched his cheek to rouse him. It was then I realized that during the night he had peacefully passed on. We appreciate the great outpouring of love. We, his family and friends, are completely and utterly devastated by his untimely and unexpected death and would appreciate the privacy to mourn in private.”

Porizkova and Ocasek met in 1984 on the set of the Cars’ music video for “Drive.” They married in 1989. In 2018, Porizkova announced she and Ocasek had separated after 28 years of marriage.

“Our family always has been — and still is — a well-built car,” Porizkova wrote on Instagram. “When the four of us are together, we can go wherever the road takes us. But as a bicycle, my husband and I no longer pedal in unison. So we’re ditching the bicycle. Ric and I have been peacefully separated for the past year. The photos of our happy family are, in fact, happy family photos; we are just no longer a couple.”

Scott Disick responds to Sofia Richie’s topless snap tease

Sofia Richie isn’t afraid to heat things up.

The 21-year-old model took to Instagram on Thursday where she shared a topless snap of herself rocking high-waisted jeans with her arms across her chest.

“How’s your Thursday?” the star captioned the shot.

The sultry pic was quickly noticed by Scott Disick, her boyfriend of more than two years.

“It’s not bad, thanks,” he replied.

And love continues to be in the air for the pair. The duo recently went house hunting in sunny Malibu, Calif., captured on the 36-year-old’s reality TV show “Flip It Like Disick,” ET previously reported.

In February, the daughter of singer Lionel Richie told UK’s Tatler magazine that while she doesn’t mind sharing sneak peeks of her relationship to Kourtney Kardashian’s baby daddy to her nearly six million followers on Instagram, she also prefers keeping mum about her love life.

“I think a lot of people think they have to prove their relationships through social media and I’m just happy being private about my relationship,” said Richie at the time. “It’s not like I won’t post pictures about it, but I like having my little private life.”

“I’m not a party girl and I really don’t like the paparazzi,” she continued. “… Whatever we do, whether it’s going to the cinema or dinner, we’ll always just end up going home and watching a movie after.”

Before Richie was recognized as a sought-after cover girl, she considered following in her famous father’s footsteps.

“I went on a world tour with my dad when I was 14 and during that time I was convinced that I wanted to be a singer,” she explained. “I decided it had to happen right there and then for me. So I said to him, ‘I know you have the connections! You need to put me in front of the right people and let me sing.’

“And he was like, ‘If you still want to do it in four years and you train for it, I’ll put you in front of someone. And if they think you’re good enough, then you can do it.’ Four years later I was like, ‘Absolutely not. Don’t even talk to me about it.’ It’s too much pressure — people would be expecting Adele to jump out of my voice.”

Michael Douglas and Catherine Zeta-Jones celebrate exactly 25-year age difference

Actor Michael Douglas got candid about his aging family, including his younger wife, Catherine Zeta-Jones, and father, Kirk Douglas.

The “Ant-Man” actor appeared on Thursday’s episode of “The Ellen DeGeneres Show” where the host wished him a happy belated birthday. He turned 75 on Sept. 25, the same day his wife celebrated her 50th.

“Catherine, my wife, and I have the same birthday,” he explained. “Twenty-five years apart, the same day, but who’s counting?”

He also discussed his famous father, who turns 103 in December.

MICHAEL DOUGLAS ADMITS WIFE CATHERINE ZETA-JONES STILL GIVES HIM BUTTERFLIES AFTER ALL THESE YEARS

“Having a younger bride makes me feel good on one side,” Douglas said. “I’ve got the old man over here on the other side, who still has a full head of hair.”

He continued: “It’s all good. You can’t be an idiot about it. So 75, I look at the 15-year program, if I still got my marbles by the time I’m 90. After that, it’s all golden.”

As they get up in years, family is increasingly important to the Douglas clan. In August, Michael’s son, Cameron, posted a photo to Instagram showing the various generations all posing in one shot.

The photo highlights Cameron, 40, holding his 19-month-old daughter Lua with girlfriend Viviane Thibes, while the rest of the family – four generations to be exact – sits around the table.

Kirk is spotted at the head of the table with his signature sunglasses. His wife, Anne Buydens, 100, sits a few seats away, near Zeta-Jones.

“#Familyfirst,” Cameron captioned the post.

When Michael received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame last November, his father proudly appeared front and center to support him, People magazine shared.

“It means so much to me, Dad, that you’re here today,” the Oscar-winning actor said, tearing up, at the ceremony. “Thank you for your advice, inspiration, and I’ll say it simply and with all my heart: ‘I’m so proud to be your son.’”

Kirk Douglas has been married to Buydens since 1954. When Fox News asked the couple the secret behind their lasting marriage in 2017, the pair was no-nonsense about their unconventional approach. While Buydens does turn a blind eye to infidelity, the pair, who raised two sons, credited date night for sparking the romance every day.

“[Date night is] the same as it’s been throughout our marriage,” said Douglas. “We spend what we call the ‘golden hour’ together at around 6:30 each night. We’ll sit and talk and laugh and share our day and our thoughts with each other.”

“Except now we are very 21st century and bring along our iPads,” added Buydens.

Aaron Carter explains face tattoo, says his mom inspired it

Aaron Carter made headlines with his Medusa-themed face tattoo and now, the singer is explaining why he got the controversial ink.

“Medusa is my protector. If you want to come at me with some negativity, my Medusa will stare you in the eye and turn you into stone,” he told Entertainment Tonight.

The embattled “I Want Candy” singer, who has been engaged in a public feud with brother Nick Carter over the past several weeks, further elaborated on the tattoo’s inspiration.

In the interview, Aaron cited his mother, Jane Carter, as the primary source of inspiration for the tattoo.

“This is the love of my life right here,” he said about his mother. Aaron, who has had a particularly rough relationship with Jane over the past several years, recently reconciled with the Carter matriarch. The mother-and-son duo will be prominently featured on the upcoming season of WE tv’s “Marriage Boot Camp: Family Edition.”

Though the drama between Aaron and his brother Nick has made headlines over the last few weeks, Jane attempted to tamp down the controversy, saying, “Aaron loves his family very much, and that’s where his heart is at.”

“That’s where he’s coming from,” she further added. “He’s coming from love.”

It was recently announced that Nick and sister Angel recently filed a restraining order against Aaron.

“After careful consideration, my sister Angel and I regret that we were required to seek a restraining order against our brother Aaron,” he said in a statement. “In light of Aaron’s increasingly alarming behavior and his recent confession that he harbors thoughts and intentions of killing my pregnant wife and unborn child, we were left with no choice but to take every measure possible to protect ourselves and our family.”

Nick Carter just welcomed his second baby with wife Lauren Kitt, who allegedly was previously threatened by Aaron.

‘Jersey Shore’ star Jenni ‘JWoww’ Farley splits from boyfriend amid Angelina Pivarnick flirting drama

Jenni “JWoww” Farley has reportedly ended her relationship with boyfriend Zack Carpinello after he got a little too comfortable with another woman.

The reality star went to Instagram on Friday to share her disappointment with Carpinello, 24, immediately after an episode of “Jersey Shore: Family Vacation” showed the wrestler caressing Angelina Pivarnick, 33.

“After seeing tonight’s episode I’m pretty hurt,” Farley wrote in a note posted to her Instagram account. “I feel disrespected by someone I called a friend and by someone who stated they loved me.”

Farley, 33, said she was completely oblivious to her boyfriend’s behavior and suggested that she settled on being with Carpinello by lowering her standards.

“For 5 months I was kept in the dark about this. For 5 months I was naive, probably laughed at and made into a story line that will forever haunt me. My heart hurts on so many levels. One thing I learned from tonight’s episode is know your value. Don’t ever lower your standards.”

An insider told Us Weekly on Friday the “Rules According to JWoww” author “ended the relationship” with her boy toy.

The “Jersey Shore” episode shows Carpinello as he hugs Pivarnick and runs his hands along her waist and backside while the two got cozy in a Las Vegas club as Farley seemed to be passed out nearby.

Farley gushed about her relationship with the New York native in an earlier “Family Vacation” episode.

“I never in a million years thought I would be dating someone younger than me,” she said. “We’re completely different. Not my style at all.”

Hemsworth, 29, has remained relatively quiet after Miley Cyrus announced their divorce in August, after just seven months of marriage.

As the news of her divorce broke, Cyrus was spotted shortly after on an Italian vacation with reality TV star Kaitlynn Carter, who in turn had just split from her husband Brody Jenner. She and Carter shared a brief romance before Cyrus was recently seen kissing Australian singer Cody Simpson.

The pair hasn’t shied away from rumors of a budding relationship.

Tom Petty’s stolen guns, unreleased music recovered by police after burglary, guitars still missing

Police have reportedly apprehended the culprit that stole some priceless items from late musician Tom Petty that were being held in storage.

According to TMZ, an engineer for Tom Petty owned a storage locker in San Fernando Valley, Calif., containing the late “Free Fallin’” singer’s guitars, guns and hard drives with unreleased songs recorded before his death.

Petty, known for hits like “I Won’t Back Down” and “Runnin’ Down A Dream” died in 2017 at age 66 after he was found unconscious at his California home. His wife, Dana, and daughter, Adria, previously revealed that he suffered an overdose that was caused by a variety of medications. The official report confirmed that Petty had fentanyl and oxycodone in his system.

‘Jersey Shore’ star Mike Sorrentino talks prison life with Michael Cohen, Billy McFarland

“Jersey Shore” star Mike “The Situation” Sorrentino shared details about his time in prison, the famous people he met inside and his life now that he’s a free man.

The reality star appeared on his co-star Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi’s podcast, “It’s Happening With Snooki & Joey.” In the episode, he was candid about how he’s been living his “best life” with new wife Lauren Sorrentino on the outside.

“’I feel fantastic. I lost 40 pounds in this process. I’m reunited with my beautiful wife, I’m working on the No. 1 show on MTV,” he gushed. “I’m grateful and taking advantage of every moment, every conversation, every meal and just living my best life.”

MIKE ‘THE SITUATION’ SORRENTINO’S WIFE POSTS SEXY SNAP WEEKS AHEAD OF HUSBAND’S PRISON RELEASE

The MTV star was released on Sept. 12 after reporting in January to the Otisville Correctional Facility in New York. He was sentenced for tax offenses related to nearly $9 million in income.

Sorrentino said he was mostly left alone by the other inmates while serving his time. He compared the atmosphere of prison to high school with all its various cliques.

“They really loved me,” he said. “I really lucked out. I was very grateful.”

The TV star explained that, contrary to rumors, he didn’t interact much with the orchestrator of the infamous failed Fyre Festival Billy McFarland, who was in the same prison. Sorrentino described him as friendly, “very quiet” and “reserved.”

“He would say ‘Hi,’ but he wasn’t in my group of friends. I played against him in basketball and softball maybe, but then he was thrown out of the prison.”

“He supposedly smuggled in some sort of recording device, and he was caught with it,” Sorrentino added. “They said he was trying to record high-profile inmates and they threw him in the SHU [solitary housing unit]. They sent him to a worse prison, I think, recently. That’s a bonehead move right there.”

Sorrentino, who worked out twice a day in the joint, also revealed he had an encounter with President Donald Trump’s former lawyer, Michael Cohen.

“He was a bit nervous,” he said about Cohen. “I was there for like three or four months, and I was like, ‘Listen, bro, I’m going to need you to do something for me… I’m going to need you to smuggle chicken from the main line and give it to me, I’m going to hide it in my locker, so I can have an extra serving after my workout.”

Sorrentino said that Cohen agreed but was unable to smuggle him extra food past the guards.

Once he got out, Sorrentino revealed, all he wanted to do was relax at home. However, the MTV producers had other plans.

MIKE ‘THE SITUATION’ SORRENTINO’S WIFE SAYS HE’S RECEIVED ‘THOUSANDS OF LETTERS’ IN PRISON

“When I first got home, all I wanted to do was spend time with my beautiful wife, I wanted to have a naked pizza party,” he said with a laugh. “I wanted to watch movies. I wanted to watch ‘Avengers,’ I wanted to watch ‘Game of Thrones.’”

Unfortunately, duty called and “The Situation” had to report to work on “Jersey Shore: Family Vacation” just days after his release.

“I pretty much took the ball and started to run with it immediately. I started working the day I came out. I saw you guys the next day,” he said. “I moved [to the house] a couple of days later. I wasn’t mentally ready but at the same time it’s my job. It’s time to man up, rise to the occasion. Get that money! I missed out on eight months. I wasn’t doing projects for eight months… I missed out on a lot of money.”

Sorrentino will have to complete 500 hours of community service following his release and was ordered to pay $123,913 in restitution, in addition to a $10,000 fine, People reported.

Kevin Hart speaks out on near-fatal car crash as investigators says recklessness caused accident

Kevin Hart issued a statement about the car accident that left him and others severely injured as California Highway Patrol released details of its investigation into the crash.

Jared Black was turning on to Mulholland Highway near Malibu early on Sept. 1 when he accelerated and lost control while driving the comic actor’s 1970 Plymouth Barracuda, the report from the California Highway Patrol said on Thursday. Hart and Black’s fiancee, Rebecca Broxterman, were also in the car as passengers.

The car then careened down an embankment and slammed into a tree, the report said. Evidence from an examination of the Plymouth suggested no one had been wearing seatbelts.

“I have nothing but love for Jared and wish him and Rebecca a speedy recovery,” Hart said in a statement released through his attorney later Thursday.

KEVIN HART’S CAR WAS SUPPOSEDLY MISSING KEY SAFETY FEATURES: REPORT

Authorities previously said that Hart, 40, and Black, 28, suffered major back injuries while Broxterman, 31, had less serious injuries.

Hart’s attorney, Andrew Brettler, told The Associated Press on Thursday that the actor is doing OK, still recovering from his injuries and doing physical therapy at home. Hart is limiting his professional commitments but expects to be back at work by the beginning of next year, Brettler said.

KEVIN HART TALKS OSCARS HOSTING SCANDAL, ALARMING PUSH TO ‘DESTROY’ CONTROVERSIAL COMEDIANS

According to reports, Hart returned to work to promote “Jumanji: The Next Level” earlier this week, but was taking it very slow and easy while he heals.

The report reiterated that Black was not under the influence of alcohol or drugs. It said he violated the law, but did not say whether charges were likely.

The CHP redacted the statements given to investigators by the three people involved, along with all details about their injuries.

No other cars were involved in the crash.

Black made a right turn at about 12:45 a.m. on to Mulholland Highway in the Barracuda that had recently been modified and modernized and had a 6.4 Liter Hemi V-8 supercharged engine, the report said. His quick acceleration caused the right rear tire to break traction and he lost control.

KEVIN HART’S CAR WAS SUPPOSEDLY MISSING KEY SAFETY FEATURES: REPORT

The car crossed the oncoming lane of the two-lane highway and went down the steep embankment, knocking down a vinyl fence before hitting the tree head-on — so hard it was uprooted and rolled down the hill, the report said.

Kevin Hart says he's expected to get back to work early next year after details of his Sept. 1 car accident were revealed.

The back of the car flew upward and the roof also hit the tree, severely smashing it, investigators said. The sides were also smashed, and some doors couldn’t be opened.

Black and Broxterman were trapped inside and had to be removed by first responders, who took them to a hospital.

Hart got out of the car and quickly left the scene, the report said. The CHP previously said he headed to his nearby home seeking medical help, and was later also hospitalized.

A witness who saw the crash called 911 and said a man who appeared to be Hart “looked like he’s hurting,” according to a recording previously released by the Los Angeles County Fire Department.

Hailey Baldwin called ‘fake Christian’ for celebrating Halloween –here’s how she responded

Haily Baldwin took the opportunity this week to defend her faith in a public way.

The wife of Justin Bieber asked fans to help her come up with Halloween costume ideas at the beginning of the month on her Instagram story with a Q&A.

HAILEY BALDWIN SHARES BIBLE VERSE AFTER JUSTIN BIEBER GETS BACKLASH FROM TAYLOR SWIFT FANS

“Aren’t u a Christian?” one fan asked.

To which the 22-year-old supermodel responded, “Yes. I still dress up for Halloween.”

Another fan, a little more forward, called her a “FAKE CHRISTIAN,” and she just replied, “Our kids are gonna celebrate too.”

Despite some Christians being against Halloween for its pagan elements and dark imagery, Mrs. Bieber said she liked the ideas from fans of dressing up as Catwoman, Harley Quinn, or the Bride of Chucky.

Earlier this year, Baldwin said she tries to show her “real, funny goofy side” on Instagram and “represent Jesus” within the modeling industry.

“I think that the bigger purpose behind it is for me to be a light in this place,” Baldwin told “NOW with Natalie” on the Hillsong Channel. “And I’m here to represent Jesus through me for other people — for His will to be done.”
