Exclusive: Jagger Eaton Expresses Disappointment Over Missing Opening Ceremony Due to Competition Delay
Jagger Eaton, the talented skateboarder who won bronze in the men’s street event at the Tokyo Olympics, found himself in a bit of a predicament when the competition schedule was unexpectedly delayed. Eaton was set to compete on Saturday, July 27, just one day after the rainy Paris Games opening ceremony on Friday, July 26. Due to the proximity of his event, Eaton made the difficult decision to skip the Parade of Nations in order to focus on his performance.
Unfortunately, Mother Nature had other plans, as rain led to the postponement of the men’s street event until Monday, July 29. This unexpected turn of events left Eaton feeling “very upset,” as he watched his fellow athletes participate in the opening ceremony without him. Eaton shared his feelings with PEOPLE during Ralph Lauren’s Olympic welcome party in Paris, expressing his disappointment at missing out on such a special and unique experience.
“The opening ceremony is something that’s so special, and if you get to experience it more than once, it’s a privilege,” Eaton lamented. “I’m grateful that I got to experience it in Tokyo, but it was really a bummer missing it here in Paris.” Despite his disappointment, Eaton has been making the most of his time in the Olympic Village, immersing himself in the camaraderie and excitement of the Games.
Eaton, who has been collaborating with Ralph Lauren, had the opportunity to try on this year’s opening ceremony ensemble, which features a navy blue blazer, a striped button-down, and jeans. Although he missed out on dressing up with his fellow athletes, Eaton appreciates the experience and is focused on giving his best performance when the competition resumes.
As he looks forward to completing his event, Eaton plans to enjoy some leisure time in the City of Light, soaking in the sights and sounds of Paris. After dedicating himself to training and competing, Eaton is eager to relax, explore, and make lasting memories in one of the most iconic cities in the world.
Reflecting on his Olympic journey, Eaton admits that the experience has been life-changing and transformative. His time in Tokyo left a lasting impact on him, and he hopes that his performance in Paris will be equally impactful. Despite the challenges and uncertainties he’s faced along the way, Eaton remains grateful for the opportunity to represent his country and compete on the world stage.
As the Olympic Games draw to a close, Eaton is filled with a mix of emotions, including a sense of fulfillment and anticipation for what the future holds. This journey, filled with highs and lows, has left a lasting impression on him and has helped shape him into the athlete and individual he is today. For Eaton, the Olympic Games are not just a competition but a transformative experience that will stay with him for years to come.
In conclusion, despite the disappointment of missing the opening ceremony, Jagger Eaton remains focused and determined to give his best performance in the remaining days of the Tokyo Olympics. His dedication, resilience, and positive attitude serve as a testament to his unwavering commitment to his sport and his personal growth. As he navigates the challenges and triumphs of the Olympic journey, Eaton continues to inspire and uplift those around him, leaving a lasting legacy in the world of skateboarding and beyond.

Daveigh Chase’s former manager casts doubt on late actress’ alleged boyfriend’s GoFundMe

Daveigh Chase’s former manager is urging fans not to donate to the late actress’ alleged boyfriend Roy Hernandez’s viral GoFundMe.
On Tuesday, John Ryan told TMZ, “Neither her family nor her close friends know who this person is.
“I can confirm Daveigh has a SAG trust account with more than enough funds to cover all medical and related expenses,” Chase’s longtime friend added.
Hernandez, however, insisted to the outlet that he plans to use the GoFundMe money to give Chase a “proper memorial.”
The fundraiser has, so far, raised $3,924 out of its $5,000 goal.
Ryan alleged to The Post on Wednesday that Chase leaves behind millions of dollars of residuals, which he claims she was “too far gone” on heroin and fentanyl to claim despite his attempts to get in touch.
The “Lilo & Stitch” star died on Tuesday at age 35 after a case of meningitis and an infection in Chase’s blood led to her body shutting down over sepsis issues.
Prior to her passing, Chase was admitted to a hospital for malnutrition.
She was spotted living in Downtown Los Angeles’ Skid Row months before her death.
Hernandez wrote in his online campaign that Chase “wanted … a place where [they] could live together, feel safe and be happy.”
After describing her “critical” health scare, he wrote, “Now, more than ever, I want to give her that sense of home and peace in her final days.
“After a difficult childhood and a painful falling out with her family, Daveigh was bullied and struggled to find safety and happiness in downtown LA,” he claimed. “When we met, I promised to protect her and give her the love and comfort she deserved. Together, we found moments of happiness and hope.”
Hernandez also highlighted Chase’s iconic projects, including voicing Chihiro Ogino in “Spirited Away.”
She is also best known for being in “The Ring” and “Donnie Darko.”
Chase’s last acting role was playing Krissy Madison in “American Romance” in 2016.
She spoke to Interview magazine about her legacy years prior, saying, “I just want to make something that I love and people will respect. I want to do things that will change someone’s life, not something they’ll forget about tomorrow.”

‘Scream 2’ star mocked for ‘bitching’ about his low residuals from 1997 film

Your favorite scary movie isn’t raking in the residuals.
After “Scream 2” star Craig Shoemaker took to Instagram to share that he received $34.09 for his part in the 1997 horror movie, fans flocked to the comment section to call him out.
“So you had a bit part in one sequel of a multi-movie franchise a quarter-century ago. Not sure if you rage baiting or legit bitching,” one follower commented beneath the post.
Shoemaker, 61, replied, “How about none of the above, and the rage inside of you is the only baiting? Lol.”
“Better than nothing,” another social media user added. “Would a better negotiating change that? Cause you were a day player.”
“It’s said with humor, and nothing else. If you don’t get it, then move on,” Shoemaker clapped back.
Others found the humor in Shoemaker’s post, with one fan chiming in, “Now now now…don’t get crazy…that’s $34 before taxes taken out. Soooo $25 bucks?”
“S–t,” the actor responded. “I didn’t think about that. I’m down to a hotdog and a lemonade now.”
“In 1997 I was cast in the role of the film professor in the sequel of the original Scream movie, Scream 2, where I lead a conversation in class about film sequels,” Shoemaker originally wrote on Tuesday alongside a shot of the letter.
“The residuals keep rolling in, baby! What should I buy with my 34 bucks?” he teased.
“Scream” premiered in 1996 and starred Neve Campbell, Courteney Cox, David Arquette, Skeet Ulrich, Rose McGowan, Matthew Lillard and Jamie Kennedy.
The sequel hit theaters a year later in 1997 and followed Sidney Prescott (Campbell) at college.
Along with Campbell, the cast included Arquette, Cox, Kennedy, Sarah Michelle Gellar, Laurie Metcalf, Jerry O’Connell, Timothy Olyphant, Jada Pinkett Smith and Liev Schreiber.
Shoemaker is listed as having played “Artsy Teacher” in the film, according to IMDb.
In 2022, Campbell, 52, decided to walk away from the franchise’s sixth movie due to a salary dispute.
“Sadly, I won’t be making the next ‘Scream’ film,” she said in a statement to Page Six at the time.
“As a woman I have had to work extremely hard in my career to establish my value, especially when it comes to ‘Scream.’”
The franchise made headlines once again in 2023 after Melissa Barrera was fired from “Scream 7” following a series of comments about the Israel-Hamas war.
Jenna Ortega, who starred in 2022’s “Scream” and 2023’s “Scream VI,” with Barrera, 35, revealed she also exited the franchise.
Ulrich, 56, meanwhile, confirmed to The Post that he was supposed to be in “Scream 7″ — despite dying in the first movie — until Barrera was axed.
The actress played his on-screen daughter in the films.
However, nearly 30 years after the iconic slasher franchise first debuted, most of OG cast reunited for “Scream 7,” which premiered this past February.
Campbell and Cox made a comeback alongside Lillard, 56, and Arquette, 54 — despite their character’s being killed off. Metcalf, 71, and Scott Foley also reprised their roles from past films.
The film marked frequent “Scream” creator/writer Kevin Williamson’s first time directing, following the 2015 death of Wes Craven, who directed the first four films in the franchise. Williamson took over after Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett, who directed the 2022 and 2023 installments, exited.
“Oh, it’s been awesome [to return],” he gushed to The Post last summer. “I’ve always been on the fringes of the last few ‘Scream’ movies, as sort of the granddaddy of the franchise.”

‘Widow’s Bay’ Season 1 ended with a wild plot twist

Down by the bay…
Warning: Spoilers ahead! Do not proceed unless you’ve watched the “Widows Bay” Season 1 finale, “We Hope You Enjoyed Your Time!”
In the Season 1 finale of Apple’s buzzy horror/ comedy, “Widow’s Bay,” the frazzled mayor, Tom Loftis (Matthew Rhys) tried to kill Ruth (K Callan) – only to get thrown with a plot twist. She confessed that she was secretly his late wife’s mother, which meant that his son, Evan (Kingston Rumi Southwick) was her grandson.
This was a big deal because it meant that Evan was the island founder Richard Warren’s (Hamish Linklater) last living descendant.
As set up in the previous episode, the whole reason why Tom tried to axe Ruth was that killing the last of Richard Warren’s bloodline would break the curse on the island, and save everyone.
In the Season 1 finale, Tom went to Ruth’s house during a storm and tried to kill her twice – first by crushing pills and putting powder in her tea, then by nearly smothering her with a pillow when he thought she was napping on her couch.
Tom was conflicted, and kept muttering to Ruth, “you’re a good person, you don’t deserve this.”
A friendly Ruth seemed oblivious to his murder attempts. She was having a blast, giving him a tour of her house and yapping about her herb garden.
She eventually confessed to Tom that she once had an affair with a married man, had a baby, and let the man and his wife raise the child. Her secret kid was Tom’s late wife, she revealed. An astounded Tom confirmed with Ruth that nobody else knew this information.
Elsewhere in the episode, the town gathered in a shelter as a dangerous storm raged. Patricia (Kate O’Flynn) and Wyck (Stephen Root) were in charge. Things spiraled into chaos when everyone discovered that their stores of food were moldy. The crowd started panicking and fighting.
Meanwhile, Sheriff Bechir (Kevin Carroll) was appalled to learn that he and his pregnant wife were trapped on the island, because of the storm – and, her due date came early.
Bechir didn’t want his kid to be born into the curse on the island, so he showed up at Ruth’s house with a gun and shot her.
“I won’t damn my child. Patricia said you’d be ending it,” he said to Tom, referring to ending the curse by killing Ruth. Bechir added that he came to Ruth’s house because he knew that Tom “wouldn’t” do it.
Tom told Bechir that Ruth wasn’t the last living descendant, and Bechir held Tom at gunpoint, demanding to know who was. Before Tom could say anything, the storm then cleared up.
So, seemingly, everything was okay. Ruth was wounded and bleeding, but appeared to be still alive. The episode ended with Tom driving off in his car with Evan.
But, he noticed the sound of a bell – signifying that not enough people got fed to the island, and more people will need to be offered as tribute.
That’s where “Widows Bay” ended, going into Season 2.
The Season 1 finale was more serious than the rest of the season, but the shift in tone worked. Tom spent most of the episode agonizing over his choice to try to kill a sweet old lady.
Rhy’s performance was stellar as always, as Tom unravelled – if he doesn’t get nominated at the Emmys and Golden Globes, it will be a ridiculous snub.
There were still plenty of laughs, like when Ruth was going through her photo album, and pointing out which men had “made a pass at her.” She also told Tom that she loved one of her ex boyfriends, until, “He got bit by an animal, and became that animal.” The show remains delightfully weird.
The Apple horror comedy has been the word-of mouth hit of the summer.
“It’s become one of those shows everyone’s talking about, and we’re thrilled to see audiences continue to embrace it,” Matt Cherniss, head of programming, Apple TV, said in a statement announcing Season 2.
Horror king Guillermo del Toro himself also publicly praised the show, posting on X that it, “may very well be the best streaming series in a long time” and called it, “mesmerizing.”
“Season two is about how everything is great on the island and there’s nothing to worry about,” creator Katie Dippold joked in Apple’s statement announcing the renewal.
Season 2 doesn’t have a premiere date yet.
