Hollywood is mourning the death of a beloved Baywatch alum.
Michael Newman—who was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease in 2006—died from heart complications on Oct. 20 while “surrounded by his family and friends,” his friend Matthew Felker told People. The actor was 68.
“Few of us are lucky enough to have someone like Mike Newman enter and change their life,” Felker wrote on Instagram Oct. 21 alongside videos of the two. He explained the two met five years ago when Felker was beginning work as the director of the Baywatch documentary miniseries, After Baywatch: Moment in the Sun. “Mike was able to see the series come to fruition.”
According to Felker, Newman—who played the character Newmie on the show from 1989 to 2000—”was not only a real life hero. He was a competitor through and through.”
“I got to see Mike before he passed away,” Felker wrote. “He was unconscious mostly… when I showed up he was awake almost like a miracle and looked at me and said ‘you’re just in time’ and laughed. That was Mike. He found humor all the way until the end.”

Snoop Dogg is appealing to a whole new generation thanks to his kid-positive tracks. ICYMI, the 53-year-old released a Kids Hits album along with Doggyland in 2022 and the main track “Affirmation Song” has become a favorite he’s learned of his fellow coach from The Voice, Michael Bublé.
Bublé’s daughter, Vida, 6, listens to it in her Kindergarten class.
“That made me almost cry,” Snoop, whose real name is Calvin Cordozar Broadus Jr., shared on The Kelly Clarkson Show’s Oct. 22 episode, “because I made those records for my grandkids and the kids around the world to have a piece of me that was rated G.”
The “Haven’t Met You Yet” crooner is the father of four kids including Vida, Noah, 11, Elias, 8, and Cielo, 2—who he shares with wife Luisana Lopilato—but it is Vida who has a special connection to Uncle Snoop.
“Michael Bublé came to set, and he was like, ‘My daughter loves your music, and they listen to it every day,’” Snoop, who is a grandfather of seven, recalled. “And I’m like, ‘You lying!’ We actually sung it together, and it just touched me. It was so adorable that this music that I’m making is really reaching the kids for the right reasons.”
AFC Leopards forward Sydney Lokale has sensationally proclaimed himself as the perfect heir to Harambee Stars captain and lead striker Michael Olunga.
Lokale has enjoyed a purple patch since returning to the Kenyan top tier in July, with his goal-scoring form at the Den securing him a return to the national team Harambee Stars after five years in the cold. He joined Leopards after quietly parting company with Congolese side, Saint Eloi Lupopo, a club he served for two seasons.
His good start of life at Ingwe coupled with the return to Stars have left the towering attacker confident of filling in the gap that Olunga will leave in the national team when he calls time to his international career.
I AM THE NEXT MICHAEL OLUNGA
The topic of who is talented and goal-hungry enough to succeed Olunga on the national team remains a hot discussion in Kenyan football circles.
Stars have always struggled to score goals, and win matches in the absence of Olunga as evidenced in the opening 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifiers against; Zimbabwe and Namibia and in any other matches he has missed.
Records indicate that the Al Duhail striker has scored 27 goals for Stars, seven shy of former skipper Dennis Oliech and eighth off the tally of the all-time top scorer William ‘Chege’ Ouma.
Several coaches have tried to groom the next Olunga with Benson Omala, John Avire, Jonah Ayunga, Alfred Scriven, David Sakwa, Elvis Rupia and others being fronted as potential successors to the former Gor Mahia star.
Amid the trial and error method employed by various Stars coaches in a bid to fish out Olunga’s heir, Lokale has declared himself ready. The former KCB striker conceded that Olunga remains his role model and will do everything possible to play alongside him and later assume his role in the national team upon his retirement.
“I believe I have what it takes to fill the gap Olunga will leave in the national team. That has always been my plan from the time I started playing in the Kenyan top tier. I like his style of play, hard work, commitment, discipline and how lethal he is in front of the goal. I am confident that I will pick from where he will leave,” Lokale told SportsBoom.
LOKALE EAGER TO FOLLOW OLUNGA’S FOOTSTEPS
Stars heavily relied on Oliech for goals before the emergence of Olunga, who came through the U23 team, with his form at Gor also helping his quest for minutes in the national team. Olunga occasionally partnered with Oliech, especially in the latter’s final years at Stars, preparing him fully for the task of leading the team’s forward line.
Lokale seeks to follow suit by playing next to Olunga in the near future, which he believes, will ready and usher him for the big role.
“Former Harambee Stars coaches handled Olunga’s transition to the senior team very well. They allowed him to partner Oliech even in big matches, enabling him to blend in seamlessly. He worked hard for the minutes he got when Oliech was active. I would wish to have a similar experience,” he opened up.
LOKALE EYEING CHAN REDEMPTION
Meanwhile, the former Kariobangi Sharks forward aims to make amends to the disastrous performance Stars had in the 2019 CHAN qualifiers when the team takes on South Sudan on October 27.
Lokale was part of the Stars team that was eliminated by Tanzania 4-1 on post-match penalties following barren draws in the first and second legs. He hopes to find the back of the net and inspire Stars to a big win over the Bright Stars if he is included in the team.
“I still have bad memories of the last CHAN qualifiers we played. We lost a game we would have won in a convincing way. I am working hard to be drafted in the team and ultimately help the team build-up for the tournament well.” he said.
The former Nakuru All Stars player believes that good performances in the CHAN will earn him minutes in next year’s World Cup qualifiers. “I am sure good performances in the CHAN qualifiers and tournament will come in handy in my quest for playing time in the senior team, especially in bigger assignments,” he added.
Oyo State, and indeed Nigeria, stands in solemn reflection as we bid farewell to a distinguished leader, Chief Michael Adeniyi Koleosho. His recent passing at the age of 86 has left an indelible mark on the hearts of many, as we honor a life defined by service, integrity, and commitment to the community.
Chief Koleosho was a man of many accomplishments, from his role as Commissioner for Works and Transport during the Second Republic to his contributions to education in Oke-Ogun, his impact is felt in every corner of Oyo state. As Secretary to the Oyo State Government under the late Governor Lam Adesina, he exemplified the essence of leadership through his dedication to the public good. His approach led to advancements in infrastructure and education, particularly through his role in establishing The Polytechnic of Ibadan’s Saki Satellite campus. This institution became a resource for students, transforming the education sector and providing opportunities for countless young Nigerians to pursue their dreams.
Beyond his public service, Chief Koleosho was also an influential businessman and a respected community leader, bearing the title of Babalaje of Saki. His leadership extended to the traditional and political setting as the former Chairman of Afenifere in Oyo State until 1999 and as a former National Chairman of the Alliance for Democracy (AD).
For him, these roles were not merely titles; they were paths to advocate for unity, justice, and the well-being of Nigerians everywhere. His leadership was marked by strength and commitment to these values. He has left an imprint that will not fade, and while we grieve, we also celebrate a life lived with purpose. His contributions to society will continue to inspire those who strive to make a difference in their communities.
He was father to many successful and flourishing children and grandchildren. One of them is Mr. Tayo Koleosho, an accomplished professional and chief of staff to Dr. Zacch Adedeji, the current Executive Chairman, Federal Inland Revenue Service. As both Oyo State and Nigeria mourn the loss of this remarkable man, let us honor his memory not just through words but through actions, let us embrace the values he stood for and work towards improving our communities, just as he did.
May he rest in peace, knowing that his legacy will continue to inspire others for many years to come, encouraging all to lead with compassion and serve with purpose.
