Nikki McKibbin, a singer-songwriter from Texas best known for her third-place finish on the inaugural season of “American Idol,” died on Sunday. She was 42.

Ms. McKibbin’s death was confirmed by her husband, Craig Sadler, who said on Facebook that she was taken off life support early Sunday morning, four days after she experienced complications from a brain aneurysm. Her son, Tristen Langley, said she died in Arlington, Texas.

“She was so loved that I know thousands of you will be grieving with us,” Mr. Sadler wrote.

Ms. McKibbin rose to national fame in 2002 as a contestant on “American Idol,” the Fox reality show in which singers competed for a record deal. Appearing with an unabashedly punk style, complete with a shock of dyed red hair, she was praised for her soulful covers, including “Total Eclipse of the Heart” by Bonnie Tyler, “Black Velvet” by Alannah Myles and “Piece of My Heart,” which Janis Joplin made famous with Big Brother and the Holding Company.

She finished third on the show, behind Kelly Clarkson, the winner, and Justin Guarini.

“Nikki McKibbin was an incredible talent and we are deeply saddened by the news of her passing,” a spokeswoman for “American Idol” said in a statement. “She was part of our ‘American Idol’ family and will be truly missed. Our hearts and prayers go out to her family and friends during this difficult time.”

Today I'm sharing with you the movies that made me walk out of a theater, and it will shock you.

Recently, Stephen King took to Twitter and revealed that the only movie he's walked out of (as an adult) is Transformers . @StephenKing He then wondered what movies other people have walked out of? So, we posed the question to our BuzzFeed Community , and their responses were kinda surprising: Note: This article contains mentions of sexual assault. 1. Crash (1996) "This is a movie about people who fetishize CAR CRASHES. Yup, they are turned on by looking at injured, suffering, bleeding people trapped in smashed-up cars, lying on the street, etc. So, yeah...the movie involves these sick puppies searching for crashes and literally having sex with each other while watching/driving through or even causing car crashes, and then there's a scene with injured people in back braces, and I left the theater then because nope." — sunshined Fine Line Features / Courtesy Everett Collection 2.

In a recent experiment, AI technology aged 26 celebrities to see how accurate it would be at predicting whether they'd live past their current age. The results were surprisingly fascinating, and so off the charts cool.

I recently used AI technology to determine what today's biggest celebrities would look like when they're much older, and the results were so wild and cool. Dimitrios Kambouris / Getty Images, Spencer Althouse / FaceApp / Dimitrios Kambouris / Getty Images (Old Robert Pattinson can absolutely still get it, to be honest!) ADVERTISEMENT So, to make things more fun, I used that same technology on pictures of older celebs when they were younger to see how accurately it'd age them. Here are the results. 1.
