Supermodel Appeared In George Michael’s ‘Freedom ’90’ Video, Was 56 – Deadline
Supermodel Tatjana Patitz, best known for her appearance in George Michael’s video for his monster hit “Freedom ’90,” has died at age 56. She died on Jan. 11 of breast cancer, her agent confirmed.
The German-born Patitz was considered one of the original supermodels. She entered her first modeling contest at age 17 in Stockholm, taking third place. But a session with fashion photographer Peter Lindbergh that followed launched the main part of her career.
Singer George Michael saw her in British Vogue in 1990, and subsequently cast her for his “Freedom ’90” music video alongside Cindy Crawford, Christy Turlington, Naomi Campbell and Linda Evangelista.
“I was in my own zone,” she said of filming the “Freedom ’90” video, which didn’t see her even meet Michael. “I had to kind of slide up and down the wall for part of the day. The feel of the set was so run-down, this big, loft kind of vibe. There was another setup with me laying on a chaise lounge with a black smoking jacket. I think I may have had a bustier on. And I was smoking, even. People still smoked in videos then and even in films.”
No information on survivors or a memorial was immediately available.
UVA shooting suspect shot one victim while he was sleeping, appeared to be “aiming at certain people,” prosecutor says
A witness who saw a University of Virginia student open fire on a bus returning from a field trip described to police how the gunman targeted specific victims — many of them football players — shooting one of them as he slept, a prosecutor said in court Wednesday. The details emerged during the suspect’s first court appearance.
Albemarle County Commonwealth’s Attorney James Hingeley said a witness who was shown a photo of the shooting suspect, Christopher Darnell Jones Jr., identified him as the gunman. The violence Sunday night left three football players dead and one player and another student wounded.
The suspect, a former football player, appeared by video link from a local jail for Wednesday’s court hearing. He did not enter a plea to the numerous charges he faces and said he plans to hire an attorney. A judge ordered him held without bond and appointed a public defender to represent him until he secures private counsel.
University officials and police have said the 22-year-old suspect joined a group of about two dozen others on a field trip Sunday from the Charlottesville campus to see a play in the nation’s capital, about 120 miles away. When their bus arrived back on campus, authorities have said the suspect opened fire, killing Lavel Davis Jr., D’Sean Perry and Devin Chandler.

One witness told police the suspect pointed the gun at Chandler, shot him as he was sleeping, and Chandler slid to the floor, Hingeley said.
The witness said the suspect was “aiming at certain people” and not shooting randomly, according to Hingeley.
Responding officers found Chandler and Perry dead on the bus, Hingeley said. Davis died from his wounds at a hospital, he said.
The public defender appointed to represent the suspect did not address the substance of the charges Wednesday. She also declined comment outside of court.
The judge set a December status hearing in the case.
Authorities said the suspect was able to flee the shooting scene, setting off a manhunt and 12-hour campus lockdown before he was taken into custody elsewhere in the state late Monday morning. The suspect faces three counts of second-degree murder, two counts of malicious wounding and additional gun-related charges.
The violence at the state’s flagship public university has set off days of mourning among students and faculty, the broader Charlottesville community and other supporters. Classes resumed Wednesday.
University President Jim Ryan said Monday that authorities did not have a “full understanding” of the motive behind the shooting. Court documents filed so far in the matter have offered no additional insight, and Hingeley did not address a possible motive Wednesday.
In a video statement posted to Facebook on Wednesday night, Ryan said “it’s possible, and perhaps likely, that we will never find one single thing that will explain this. It may also be that we never truly understand why this happened.”
Ryan said that the school is “inviting an external review with respect to the university’s interactions with the suspect, and whether we did all we could to prevent or avoid this tragedy.”

Also Wednesday, the school announced that it was canceling its final home game of the season scheduled for Saturday against Coastal Carolina. Ryan said Wednesday night that there would instead be a memorial service Saturday “to honor the lives” of the three slain football players, along with the two other students who were wounded.
In announcing the cancellation, the university said in a news release that no decision has been made yet about whether UVA will participate in its final game of the season Nov. 26 against Virginia Tech in Blacksburg.
The suspect was a member of the football team during the 2018 season, a one-semester walk-on, according to athletics director Carla Williams.
In interviews, his father has expressed confusion and astonishment and apologized to the victims’ families.
Of the two students who were hospitalized, one was discharged from the medical center Tuesday, according to Eric Swensen, a health system spokesperson.
Family members of Mike Hollins, a running back on the team, have said he underwent a second surgery Tuesday.
In her first television interview since the shooting, Hollins’ mother Brenda Hollins told CBS News that her son does not yet know three of his friends and teammates were killed.
In court Wednesday, Hingeley also reviewed the suspect’s past criminal record. In February 2021, he was charged in Chesterfield County with possession of a concealed handgun without a permit and later given a 12-month suspended sentence, Hingeley said.
At the time of that arrest, the suspect had two outstanding warrants in connection with a hit-and-run accident with property damage and reckless driving from Petersburg. He was convicted of both charges and also given 12-month suspended sentences on both, Hingeley said.
The university has said the suspect’s failure to report the misdemeanor concealed weapon conviction was a consideration in an ongoing review of him by its threat-assessment team. The university initially said its student affairs office had escalated the suspect’s case in late October to the University Judiciary Committee, a student-run body that could have enacted disciplinary action. But late Tuesday night, a spokesperson confirmed the university had not actually escalated the report and was working on doing so.
Scientists Spotted Something That Appeared to Be Moving 7 Times the Speed of Light
That can’t be right.
Speed Demon
Back in 2017, scientists observed a spectacular collision of two neutron stars that blasted a jet of radiation so powerful that NASA says the energy it released was “comparable to that of a supernova,” according to a press release by the agency.
But it’s taken scientists until now to unpack all the data that was gathered because of its complexity. Among other intriguing findings: stuff appearing to travel faster than light — which, of course, is impossible. But don’t worry. There’s a perfectly reasonable explanation.
Joint Effort
The event, designated GW170817, is what’s known as a binary neutron star merger. Neutron stars are the collapsed cores of once-massive stars and some of the densest objects in the universe. According to NASA, just a single teaspoon of one would weigh four billion tons on Earth.
With that sort of unfathomable density comes great gravity — enough to draw two of these neutron stars together in an explosive collision that launched gravitational waves and gamma radiation into space, making it the first time scientists have detected both from a neutron star merger, NASA says.
The Hubble Space Telescope observed the two neutron stars collapse into a black hole in the aftermath of the explosion. A spinning disk then formed around the black hole, which beamed incredibly fast jets of matter into space. Combining their findings with that of the National Science Foundation, scientists were able to piece together the event with extreme precision — including how fast the jets were moving.
Breaking the Law
Initially, from the Hubble observations, it appeared the jets were traveling at seven times the speed of light. Of course, that’s impossible. The scientists attribute this discrepancy to a phenomena known as superliminal motion. Essentially, since the jet approaches our planet at nearly the speed of light, NASA says, the light it emits at later points has a shorter distance to travel each time, making it seem like it’s moving faster than it really is.
With some additional calculations, scientists found the real speed: at least 99.97 percent the speed of light — which, to be fair, is still pretty damn fast.
The scientists hope their findings, published in a paper this week in Nature, will allow for even more precise observations of neutron star mergers in the future, which could potentially help calculate the rate of the universe’s expansion.

Images claiming to show Konami’s Silent Hill 2 remake have appeared online
Images reportedly showing a planned Silent Hill 2 remake have appeared online.
The images, which have been widely circulated across social media (mirrored by @the_marmolade), are reportedly from an internal pitch demo for the game, according to noted insider Dusk Golem, which VGC’s own sources have corroborated.
“These are from an internal pitch demo from Bloober before they got greenlit, so it’s literally a no-budget proof of concept thing,” he said, referring to the low-quality images. “This isn’t actually what the final game looks like,” he continued.
VGC reported last February, that Konami [212 articles]” href=”https://www.videogameschronicle.com/companies/konami/”>Konami was planning to revive the long-dormant horror game series, and this remake is said to be part of those plans.
As VGC reported earlier this year, a Silent Hill 2 remake is understood to be in active development at The Medium [37 articles]” href=”https://www.videogameschronicle.com/games/the-medium/”>The Medium developer Bloober Team [33 articles]” href=”https://www.videogameschronicle.com/companies/bloober-team/”>Bloober Team. Sources suggest the game will be a timed exclusive for PlayStation [6,108 articles]” href=”https://www.videogameschronicle.com/platforms/playstation/”>PlayStation consoles (alongside PC [6,113 articles]” href=”https://www.videogameschronicle.com/platforms/pc/”>PC).
Another episodic series of Silent Hill “short stories” are understood to be in development at a studio under Annapurna Interactive [58 articles]” href=”https://www.videogameschronicle.com/companies/annapurna-interactive/”>Annapurna Interactive, the acclaimed publisher behind games such as Sayonara Wild Hearts [15 articles]” href=”https://www.videogameschronicle.com/games/sayonara-wild-hearts/”>Sayonara Wild Hearts, Outer Wilds [44 articles]” href=”https://www.videogameschronicle.com/games/outer-wilds/”>Outer Wilds and Telling Lies.
The Medium studio has been linked to the Silent Hill franchise constantly over the past 18 months. Last year the Polish developer announced a “strategic co-operation agreement” with Konami, months after Bloober’s CEO claimed it was working on an existing horror IP from “a very famous gaming publisher”.
Silent Hill’s composer Akira Yamaoka [30 articles]” href=”https://www.videogameschronicle.com/people/akira-yamaoka/”>Akira Yamaoka even worked on Bloober’s 2021 title The Medium and teased his next game project by stating that it was “the one you’ve been hoping to hear about.”
VGC first reported on Konami’s plans to ramp up its premium game development last year, with new instalments and remakes for its biggest franchises, including Metal Gear and Castlevania.
Richard Roat, actor who appeared in ‘Friends’ and ‘Seinfeld,’ dead at 89
Roat was well known for his regular role on the daytime soap opera “The Doctors,” playing Dr. Jerry Chandler. After that project, he went on to consistent work as a character actor, with a body of credits that spanned five decades of television, from “Hawaii Five-O” and “Columbo” in the 70s to “Cold Case” and “24” in the mid-aughts.
He also appeared in episodes of beloved sitcoms like “Friends” (as Ross’s colleague in “The One Where Ross Dates a Student”) and “Seinfeld” (as a doctor in “The Package”).
According to his obituary, Roat had “over 135 acting roles on television, film, and on Broadway.” He also had “a successful practice as an entertainment tax preparer for over 50 years,” the memorial said.
Roat is survived by his wife of more than 40 years, Kathy.
