Bert Belasco -- famous from BET's "Let's Stay Together" -- has died ... TMZ has learned.
Bert's father, Bert Sr., tells us his son's body was found Sunday inside a hotel room in Richmond, VA -- where we're told he was about to start on a project for a new movie role. Bert Sr. says Bert was required to quarantine at the hotel before he could come on set.
While the circumstances of his death are unclear, we do know Bert's girlfriend couldn't get a hold of him and eventually asked hotel staff to check on him. We're told when he was discovered, there was blood on the sheets -- the family is awaiting autopsy results.
His father tells us he believes his son suffered a fatal aneurysm.
Bert's career was well on the way up -- even at his young age, he's already racked up 23 acting credits and had starred in a bunch of shows and movies. Obviously, he's perhaps most well-known for playing Charles Whitmore on 'LST' for 52 episodes between 2011 and 2014.
He also appeared on several episodes of "Pitch," "I'm Dying Up Here," and has lots of one-off roles in series such as "American Princess," "Superstore," "The Mick," "The Soul Man," "No Names," "The Big Show Show," 'NCIS,' 'Key and Peele,' 'Justified' and others.
Bert had just turned 38.
RIP

Former President George W. Bush, the only living Republican ex-president, extended congratulations to President-elect Joe Biden and Vice President-elect Kamala Harris on Sunday while appealing to the American people to come together in the wake of a bruising political campaign.
In a statement, Mr. Bush revealed he spoke with Mr. Biden and Harris on the phone and said he offered the president-elect "my prayers for his success and my pledge to help in any way I can." The former president also marked Harris's historic election, as she will be the first woman vice president and the first Black vice president.
"Though we have political differences, I know Joe Biden to be a good man, who has won his opportunity to lead and unify our country," Mr. Bush said.
The two-term 43rd president, who has seldom waded into partisan politics since leaving office in 2009, also extended congratulations to President Trump and his supporters, calling the more than 70 million votes he received "an extraordinary political achievement."
Marking the high number of voters who cast ballots in the general election, Mr. Bush said the voter turnout is a "positive sign of the health of our democracy and a reminder to the world of its strength."
"No matter how you voted, your vote counted," he said. "President Trump has the right to request recounts and pursue legal challenges, and any unresolved issues will be properly adjudicated. The American people can have confidence that this election was fundamentally fair, its integrity will be upheld and its outcome is clear."
Mr. Bush said the nation faces difficult challenges that "will demand the best of President-elect Biden and Vice President-elect Harris — and the best of us all" and urged the American people to unite.
"We must come together for the sake of our families and neighbors, and for our nation and its future," he said. "There is no problem that will not yield to the gathered will of a free people."
Bush urged the country to "join us in wishing our next president and vice president well as they prepare to take up their important duties."

At last!!! It looks like a COVID vaccine is on the horizon that will change the world.
Pfizer just released incredible data -- preliminary though it is -- showing they've developed a vaccine that is MORE THAN 90% EFFECTIVE IN PREVENTING CORONAVIRUS INFECTIONS. That level of protection matches the effectiveness of the measles vaccine, which has effectively wiped out that disease.
Scientists were warning a vaccine might only be 55% effective ... maybe slightly higher, but we hadn't heard percentages like this before in the various trials.
The stock market reacted in spectacular fashion ... futures are up 1500 points, and it makes sense -- the pandemic has wiped out our economy, and this is the light at the end of the tunnel.
Dr. Albert Bourla, Pfizer's CEO, called the results a "great day for science and humanity."
The vaccine requires 2 doses, and the protection kicks in 28 days after the initial dose.
As for the size of the trial ... pretty impressive. There were 43,538 participants, and of those, there were 94 confirmed COVID infections.
Pfizer says by year's end it should have enough doses to immunize 15 million to 20 million people.
The Operation Warp Speed folks have promised Pfizer nearly $2 billion to deliver 100 million doses to Americans free of charge.
The news can't come fast enough -- 1.2 million people worldwide have died from COVID -- 240,000 in the U.S. alone.

In this episode of "People's Party With Talib Kweli," Kweli and Jasmin Leigh sit down with legendary rapper, writer, actor, and one of hip-hop's most respected lyricists and distinctive voices.
The emcee with unmatched intensity --
An "unstoppable force" --
D - M - X
In this interview, X truly doesn't hold anything back -- offering us a rare glimpse into the life of one of the most uncompromising and authentic figures in the culture. Things start off with DMX reflecting on his success, almost a decade in the making. They discuss X's trauma growing up with bronchial asthma, often waking up out of breath, and how that contributed to his signature voice. X speaks his early days of slanging mixtapes, and rap battles while locked up. DMX's pain is palpable as he shares the now-viral story of being tricked into smoking crack by his rap mentor, which segues into talking about blind trust, and emotional honesty.
Later, the trio discusses a decades-old rap battle when X and his Harlem Nights crew were pitted against Jay-Z and Original Flavor, ending in guns being drawn. They discuss X's book 'E.A.R.L.: The Autobiography of DMX', as well as X having to audition for Def Jam's Lyor Cohen while his jaw was wired shut.
X shares what happened to the would-be group of Jay-Z, Ja-Rule, and himself that Irv Gotti assembled but never came to fruition after recording six songs collectively. He also talks about why he didn't want to record 'Ruff Ryder's Anthem' at first, claiming it sounded "elementary." They explore X's persona of the conscious emcee packed as a gangster rapper, and X speaks about the iconic clip of his birthday roundtable freestyle session with Big Pun, Canibus, DMX, Mos Def, Mic Geronimo & John Forte. He also touches on his life-long connection with canines, as he tells about stealing his first dog and how he earned its trust. X then goes into the 90 days of solitary confinement he did while incarcerated, some of the craziest things he saw in the pen, X's deep-rooted faith, and how it guides his life decisions. Late in the episode, X talks about witnessing the beautiful, warm spirit of Aaliyah when he worked with her on the movie 'Romeo Must Die'. He then speaks on his upcoming album with contributions from some of the biggest names in the industry, and the interview concludes with X giving us some powerful bars, straight from the heart.
TIME STAMPS:
2:20 -- DMX reflects on how grateful he is for his gradual road to success. Talib speaks on X bringing crabs to cook at their meet up the night before taping the episode. They also discuss why for X breaking bread was so important, and his enjoyment of cooking and sharing with his friends. Talib also brings up X serenading the crew the night before singing to Bobby Caldwell's 'What You Won't Do For Love', as well as 'Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer'. He's asked if wishes people and fans saw that fun loving side of him more often.
7:46 -- Jasmin asks X about his growing up with bronchial asthma as a child, that being part of the reason for his signature gruff voice. She relates his music to that of someone struggling to breathe literally and figuratively, referencing lyrics from his first album. X goes on to illustrate the trauma he experienced grappling with the condition, waking up not being able choking for air. All this leads into talk about why he wanted to be a firefighter when he grew up.
10:18 -- DMX is asked about his early days of selling mix tapes on the streets, battle rapping while incarcerated, and how these experiences shaped him as an artist. X touches on how for him hip hop truly was a lifestyle, with beat boxing being his point of induction. X then gets raw, as he allows himself to be completely vulnerable talking about getting tricked into smoking crack at age 14 by his rap mentor, Ready Ron. X states that at that point "the monster was born". Then the conversation widens to discuss the importance of emotional honesty, particularly amongst young, Black men.
20:33 -- DMX is asked about a battle in the Bronx he participated in with his Harlem Nights crew versus Jay-Z and Original Flavor, the bout ending with guns being drawn. Talib goes on to speak about the book 'E.A.R.L.: The Autobiography of DMX', in his view being one of the first truly authentic hip hop biographies written, as it's from an insider's perspective. He asks X to expand on an excerpt from the book that told how he had to rap for Def Jam executive Lyor Cohen, while his jaw was wired shut. He also gives Snoop some due credit for the title of what would become his breakout single.
30:13 -- Talib brings up a period during the mid-nineties when Irv Gotti was looking to assemble a group, with sights set on DMX, Jay-Z and Ja-Rule. X tells why it never came to fruition even after recording at least 6 songs together. Jas raises a quote from X stating that he didn't want to record 'Ruff Ryders Anthem' at first because the sound was "elementary and not gangster". They also discuss the idea of X being the conscious rapper packaged as a gangster rapper, and X is asked if the depth of his lyrics is often overlooked due to his persona.
35:37 -- DMX speaks on the clip of a legendary roundtable freestyle session on X's birthday in '97 with Big Pun, Canibus, DMX, Mos Def, Mic Geronimo & John Forte. X notes the inescapable competitive nature of an emcee, he's asked for his take on expectations of professionalism as an artist, and X speaks to his life-long connection and affection for dogs. He outlines a story of stealing his first dog, and everything he went through to eventually earn his trust. They also explore people's varying views of dog ownership as property vs. family.
51:04 -- DMX speaks on doing 90 days in solitary confinement during his most recent prison bid. He's asked about one of his quotes stating prison used to be fun on some levels before fame hit. He also notes some of the wildest things he saw while locked up and Talib goes on to ask how X his thoughts on prison failing society, black men in particular. He speaks on profits from prison labor being modern day slavery, rehabiliation not even in the equation. Then X is asked about his ordainment as a Christian Deacon, what faith means to him and how it affects his process.
1:01:43 -- DMX goes into how he navigates positive and negative criticism. Talib then asks X about his time working with singer Aaliyah on the movie 'Romeo Must Die'. X tells how it came together with him being written into an already finished script, and he reflects on Aaliyah's warm personality, her beautiful spirit, as well as the moment she asked him if he wanted to do a song with her. X then speaks on his upcoming album with contributions from some of the biggest names in the industry, and the interview concludes with X giving us some powerful and prayerful bars from the heart.

A hotline set up by President Donald Trump’s campaign to gather any dirt on baseless charges of voter fraud has been flooded with prank calls by people making up tall tales or laughing uproariously, ABC News reported Saturday.
Alex Hirsch, creator of the “Gravity Falls” cartoon, called Friday to report a suspicious character sounding very much like McDonald’s Hamburglar stealing votes. Or maybe it was “antifa,” Hirsch suggested. He asked to speak to Trump’s personal attorney, Rudy Giuliani, before the staffer who took the call hung up on him.
The voter fraud hotline was intended to unearth a mountain of cases Trump hoped to take to court to reverse President-elect Joe Biden’s win. Instead, the hotline has become a “nightmare” for many staffers, including several whose contracts are up in a few days with the election over, sources told ABC.
Prank-calling the hotline has become a trend on TikTok.
Hirsch also called in the voice of one of his own characters, Grunkle Stan Pines, boasting that he stole a sack of votes. He demanded that “Rudy” give him a medal.
Hirsch passed on the hotline number for anyone else who wanted to get in on the action.

Atlanta police have charged a 22-year-old with murder in the fatal shooting of Chicago rapper King Von outside a downtown nightclub Friday morning.
King Von, whose real name was Dayvon Bennett, was among six people shot when a fight outside the Monaco Hookah Lounge erupted in gunfire, police said. He was 26.
On Saturday, investigators said they secured warrants charging Timothy Leeks with murder in Bennett’s death.
“Mr. Leeks is in police custody at Grady Hospital where he is undergoing treatment for a gunshot wound,” Atlanta police spokeswoman Marla Jean Rooker told AJC.com. “The homicide of Bennett is closed with this arrest.”
Police initially said Bennett was among three people killed in the shooting, but investigators clarified Saturday that two people were killed while a third remains in critical condition. The names of the additional victims have not been released, and it’s still unclear who shot them.
The GBI is investigating the incident as an officer-involved shooting after Atlanta police working in the area attempted to intervene in the shootout.
Two of the officers were in uniform working off-duty security jobs at the hookah lounge, and a third was on-duty nearby, according to police. None of the officers were injured.
Authorities said Bennett was fatally wounded in the club’s parking lot prior to the officers' involvement.
Surveillance footage posted to Twitter on Friday appears to show the shooting during a brawl outside the nightclub. In the video, a large group is seen leaving the club as punches are thrown. The group scatters after one man steps out from behind an SUV and begins firing, striking what appears to be at least two people. One of the victims, presumably Bennett, is then loaded into a car and driven away from the scene.

Moments after Joe Biden and Kamala Harris were projected to be the next President and Vice President of America, Anderson Cooper asked his co-host Van Jones to give his thoughts.
"It's easier to be a parent this morning. It's easier to tell your kids character matters. It matters ... telling the truth matters. Being a good person matters," Jones said, while fighting back tears. "And it's easier for a whole lot of people. If you're a Muslim in this country, you don't have to worry if the president doesn't want you here. If you're an immigrant you don't have to worry if the president is going to have babies snatched away or send Dreamers back for no reason. This is vindication for a lot of people who have really suffered."
You know the 'I can't breathe?' That wasn't just George Floyd. That was a lot of people that felt they couldn't breathe," he continued. "Every day you're waking up and you're getting these tweets, and you just don't know. And you're going to the store, and people who have been afraid to show their racism are getting nastier and nastier to you. And you're worried about your kids. And you're worried about your sister. Can she just go to Walmart and just get back into her car without somebody saying something to her? And you spent so much of your life energy just trying to hold it together. This is a big deal, for us just to be able to get some peace, and have a chance for a reset. The character of the country matters, and being a good man matters."

CNN - Joe Biden will become the 46th president of the United States, CNN projects, after a victory in the state where he was born put him over the 270 electoral votes needed to win.
With Pennsylvania's 20 electoral votes, Biden now has a total of 273 electoral votes.
Before becoming the Democratic presidential nominee, Biden served as vice president under former President Barack Obama. He is also Delaware's longest-serving senator.
Throughout his campaign, Biden has argued that the "soul of the nation" is at stake, and has promised that he would seek to heal a country fractured by Trump's presidency.
Kamala Harris will be the United States’ next vice president.
She will be the first woman to hold the office. She will also be the nation’s first Black and South Asian vice president.
Harris, who has represented California in the Senate since 2017, is the daughter of Jamaican and Indian immigrants, and she grew up attending a Black Baptist church and a Hindu temple.
She was the first Indian-American and second Black woman to serve as a senator.
