These 5 Celebs are hoping October turns around soon.
5. Victoria Beckham because she can't do a spice girls reunion tour.
Victoria Beckham has said that there is no chance she will do a Spice Girls reunion tour, although she admits it is very tempting. She appeared on the Andy Cohen and Jonah Hill podcast on SiriusXM, where she confirmed that she does not want to perform on stage again with her former bandmates Mel B, Melanie C, Emma Bunton, and Geri Halliwell.
Victoria explained that the biggest hurdle to a reunion is the fact that she cannot really sing anymore and admits she was never very good to begin with. Her last formal appearance with the Spice Girls was at the London 2012 Olympic closing ceremony. The group also gave an impromptu performance of “Stop” and “Mama.” It seems Victoria has officially hung up her Spice Girls cape.
4. Britney Spears because K-Fed is dropping a memoir that does not make Britney look good.
In Kevin Federline's forthcoming memoir, set to be published next week, You Thought You Knew, K-Fed alleges that Britney cheated on him with a female dancer and used drugs while she was still breastfeeding their children. The book includes other bombshell claims that do not paint Britney in a positive light. Kevin writes that her actions had a negative effect on him and that he loved her, but says Britney’s behavior was not his idea of love.
Britney responded on the website formerly known as Twitter, writing, “I 100 percent beg to differ with the way he is literally attacking me in his interviews.” She accused him of spreading false rumors because he has not received any money from her in five years and is “trying to get paid.”
Britney also shared more about her experience with Kevin, saying, “What scared me was how serious and angry he got. People have no idea. It is way worse than anyone could imagine. The boy hates me, and it is deep anger to literally say the things he is saying.”
Britney’s representatives released a statement that read, “With news from Kevin’s book breaking, once again he and others are profiting off her, and sadly it comes after child support has ended with Kevin. All she cares about are her kids, Sean Preston and Jayden James, and their well-being during this sensationalism. She already detailed her journey in her memoir.”
3. Family, friends, and fans of Ace Frehley because he tragically passed away.
KISS' original lead guitarist, Ace Frehley, passed away on Thursday. The guitarist suffered a brain bleed and died peacefully in the hospital surrounded by his wife, family, and original KISS member Peter Criss. Peter praised Ace’s legendary career, writing, “As a founding member of the rock group KISS and in Ace's solo career, Ace influenced and touched the hearts of millions of people. His legacy will live on in the music industry and in the hearts of the KISS Army.”
Paul Stanley took to social media to remember his late friend, sharing a story: “I remember in 1974, being in my room at the Hyatt on Sunset in LA, and I heard someone playing deep and fiery guitar in the room next door. I thought, ‘Boy, I wish THAT guy was in the band!’ I looked over the balcony… He was. It was Ace.”
Ace helped form KISS in 1973 with Peter, Paul, and Gene Simmons, who said they are “devastated” by the loss, noting, “He was an essential and irreplaceable rock soldier during some of the most formative and foundational chapters of the band and its history.”
Ace had been hospitalized and placed on a ventilator after suffering a serious fall in the studio that caused a brain bleed. His family made the difficult decision to take him off life support, after which he passed surrounded by loved ones. Ace is the first original member of KISS to pass away. He was 74 years old. We send our deepest condolences to his family, friends, and loved ones at this time.
2. Family, friends, and fans of Diane Keaton because she tragically passed away.
Diane Keaton, the award-winning actress, passed away from pneumonia, according to her family. They said, “The Keaton family are very grateful for the extraordinary messages of love and support they have received these past few days on behalf of their beloved Diane, who passed away from pneumonia on October 11.”
Sarah Paulson is mourning the loss of Keaton, saying, “She was a very dear friend of mine, so it’s not something I’m able to talk about yet.” Paulson managed to share a few more words, adding, “She was even more spectacular as a human being, and I was the luckiest person in the world to have had her in my life the way that I did.”
A longtime friend of Keaton said she had been struggling with an unspecified illness leading up to her October 11 death, and that the decline in her health meant the news of her passing was “not a shock.” Keaton had two adopted children: 25-year-old son Duke and 29-year-old daughter Dexter. We send our deepest condolences to Keaton’s family, friends, and loved ones at this time.
1. Family, friends, and fans of D'Angelo because he tragically passed away.

He collaborated with artists such as Jay-Z, Snoop Dogg, and Q-Tip, and won four Grammys, including Best R&B Album for Voodoo in 2001 and Black Messiah in 2016.
