‘Stranger Things’ Star Cornered on Whether Character Is Really Dead

Courtesy of NetflixMillie Bobby Brown is refusing to settle fan debate over Eleven’s fate following the finale of Stranger Things. During a live recording of the Happy Sad Confused podcast, Brown revealed that series creators the Duffer Brothers instructed her not to reveal whether Eleven survived the show’s final battle. “They were like, ‘Do not tell anyone. Because we made it a secret kind of pledge,’” Brown said, adding that only she and the creators know the truth. “No one else knows. It’s just us three. And what we do with that information, it’ll be up to them,” she said. The actress said even her castmates disagree about what happened, with some believing Eleven died while others remain convinced she survived.

Mitch McConnell's Wife Finally Broke Her Silence, Made Things Even MORE Bizarre

Mitch McConnell's wife, Elaine Chao, has finally broken her silence after the 84-year-old Kentucky senator was hospitalized nearly a month ago. But, suffice it to say, her new statement hardly cleared things up. News broke last month that 911 was called to Senator McConnell's D.C. home on June 14th, where paramedics found an individual unconscious and performed CPR. The far-Right Republican lawmaker has remained in the hospital since, as his staff, family, and friends have remained staunchly cagey about his condition. To make matters all the more muddy, photos from Chinese media began to circulate earlier this week, showing McConnell's wife in China for a sit-down meeting with Chinese Vice President Han Zheng on June 17th, just three short days after her husband's major medical emergency, where she allegedly discussed efforts to strengthen relations between China and the US -- a move that only bolstered suspicions about the true state of McConnell's health and the reasons behind the overall lack of transparency in this bizarre situation. read more
