Corey Haim Dies...
Actor Corey Haim has died from an apparent prescription drug overdose at his mother's home in North Hollywood. TMZ.com reports Haim collapsed in front of his mother just before 1 a.m. Pacific time. She called 911, he was transported to a local hospital, and was then pronounced dead just after 2 a.m. Haim had been experiencing flu-like symptoms in the days prior to his death. No illicit drugs were found in his mother's home, however, four prescription drug bottles were found there. These prescriptions had nothing to do with treating the flu. Haim's mother told police he had been dealing with a prescription drug addiction for "years." Alyssa Milano, Christina Applegate and Ralph Macchio expressed their sadness over his death. Milano, Applegate, Macchio and Haim all had their breakthrough roles in the 1980s. Corey Haim's mother is speaking out about her son's final days. In a brief statement to RadarOnline.com, mom Judy Haim says her son was giving her a helping hand at the time of his death. Judy says, quote, "I am a cancer victim and Corey was helping me at home. He was a good boy. I'm devastated by his death." Sources say Judy is a breast cancer patient and that Haim lived with her by choice because he wanted to look after her care. She was undergoing chemotherapy during her son's final days.
Brinkley Auctioning Dress...
Christie Brinkley is selling off the outfit she wore for her 1996 wedding to ex-husband Peter Cook. The former supermodel split from the businessman in 2008 over claims he was addicted to porn. She later filed for divorce when it emerged he had conducted an affair with his teenage assistant in 2004. The couple endured a bitter court battle over the details of the divorce, which was finalized in October, 2008. But it took another year for them to agree a custody deal for their two kids and the division of their assets. And now Brinkley is getting rid of the white Armani skirt suit she wore to their wedding, along with other garments and accessories, via an internet auction which will benefit the American Red Cross. The auction on www.Clothesoffourback.org lists the outfit with a starting price of $400 and ends today.
Moore Teaches Rumor To Pole Dance...
Demi Moore turned heads at a recent Hollywood party, when she gave daughter Rumer Willis a pole dancing lesson. She was partying at the Chateau Marmont hotel in Los Angeles with her husband Ashton Kutcher and her 21-year-old daughter, when Moore spotted a pole and began showing off the tricks she learned in the “Striptease”.
However, the star didn't hog the spotlight - she brought Rumer, whose dad is Moore's ex-husband Bruce Willis, to the stage and taught her how to copy her sexy moves, in front of fellow revelers Leonardo DiCaprio and Jennifer Aniston.
A source tells Life & Style magazine, "Everyone was cheering, and Leo gave Ashton a high-five."
Butler Trims Aniston...
Gerard Butler begs a Men's Journal reporter not to include his quip about rumored girlfriend Jennifer Aniston in his article. Gerard enjoys seeing strange stories about himself in the press because he is able to laugh off the wacky rumors (including this one?) He admits the funniest report he ever read was a story that suggested he had undergone a sex change. He explained to MTV.com, "I read a rumor somewhere saying that I was actually a woman...And there was one recently where apparently I was just talking about Jen, saying, 'I'm not a gimp', going on about not being a gimp... how I want all these other women in my life."
Hopper’s Wife Refuses To Move...
Dennis Hopper's estranged wife is refusing to move off his property while the actor battles terminal prostate cancer because she's broke, according to a new report. A judge ordered Victoria Duffy to leave the actor's Venice, California residence by March 15 after granting the Easy Rider star a restraining order against her last month. But, in legal papers filed in court on Tuesday, Victoria claims she should be allowed to stay - because she lives in a free-standing unit on Hopper's compound. She also claims to have insufficient funding, stating, "I believe in contemplation of death (that Dennis Hopper) may be intending to remove me as a beneficiary of any kind." He filed for divorce in January, citing irreconcilable differences, and received a restraining order against Duffy after his doctor insisted her presence was "hampering his cancer care."
Madonna and Macy's...
Singer Madonna and Macy's will soon be launching a "Material Girl" line of fashions together. Her fashion line with the national retailer will launch just in time for back-to-school shopping this August. Her collection of junior clothing will target teens and she's creating it in partnership with her 13-year-old daughter, Lourdes. The "Material Girl" collection will include handbags, jewelry, and shoes. Plans for the line in 2011 call for more than just clothes. There are plans for a possible fragrance and other items spanning "lifestyle and beauty sectors." If all goes well, Madonna and Macy's already have a deal set up to launch more brands together in the future. Prices for items in the "Material Girl" line will cost from 12-to-40-dollars apiece.
Fawcett Apology...
Academy Awards bosses have officially apologized to Farrah Fawcett's family for leaving the late actress out of a tribute at the recent ceremony. The Charlie's Angels star, who lost her battle with cancer last year, was not included in the annual In Memoriam list at the show, which honors stars who have died in the last 12 months. The snub sparked outrage, with Fawcett's longtime lover Ryan O'Neal announcing plans to write a letter to Oscars bosses demanding an explanation, and his daughter Tatum O'Neal admitting she was "deeply saddened" by the move. Bruce Davis, the executive director of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, subsequently defended the decision to leave Fawcett out of the tribute, calling it the "single most troubling element of the Oscar show every year." And now he has officially apologized for the snub. Davis says, "There's nothing you can say to people, particularly to family members, within a day or two of the show that helps at all. They tend to be surprised and hurt, and we understand that and we're sorry for it."
