Felix 'PewDiePie' Kjellberg, a YouTube veteran, believes Jimmy 'MrBeast' Donaldson will "definitely" overtake his incredible YouTube subscriber numbers after reaching 100 million on the platform.
MrBeast finally passed the 100 million subscriber mark on August 1st, and he celebrated in typical MrBeast fashion.

MrBeast has slowly caught up to his idol PewDiePie, who currently has 111 million subscribers, in 2021 and 2022.
The pair has consistently expressed their love for one another.

With MrBeast's main channel reaching 102 million subscribers as of writing, PewDiePie's fans wanted to know how he felt about MrBeast dethroning him. PewDiePie, on the other hand, embraced the concept.

In a Q&A video on August 13, PewDiePie stated that MrBeast will "definitely" surpass his YouTube subs number and that he is eager for him to do so.
The 32-year-old elaborated: "Come on, I've been retired for about two years. I can't wait for it to be over [...] that's fine, he deserves it. I'm hoping he does it."

The internet legend also stated that since his retirement, YouTube has become "less of a priority" for him. Instead, he's been spending more time working out and exploring his new home in Japan.
PewDiePie has admitted that living so far away from friends and family has been difficult for him and his partner Marzia. However, he has found the experience "liberating," as he has been able to enjoy life without constantly being recognised.

While MrBeast breaking his sub count may appear to be a problem, PewDiePie congratulated his fellow YouTuber and appears to be more than happy to pass the torch.

Anne Heche, who played a stress-ball White House aide in "Wag the Dog" and a Bates Motel stabbing victim in a remake of "Psycho," but claimed she was "blacklisted" from major studio projects in the late 1990s after she and Ellen DeGeneres broke ground as a celebrity identical couple, was taken off life support on Aug. 14. She was 53 years old.

Holly Baird, her publicist, confirmed her death at a hospital in Los Angeles. Ms. Heche was hospitalised on Aug. 5 after driving her car into a house in the city's Mar Vista neighbourhood. The vehicle was engulfed in flames, and she was dragged from it with severe burns.

According to a statement released Friday by one of her representatives, she suffered a severe anoxic brain injury and was declared brain dead, but was kept on life support so that her organs could be donated.

An initial blood test revealed that she had narcotics in her system, Los Angeles police spokesman Tony Im told The Washington Post on Thursday night, but a full toxicology report was pending to determine whether any substance was related to medical treatments.
