Actor Corey Haim died this morning of an apparent overdose -- possibly accidental -- according to LAPD. He was 38. I always liked him in Lucas and The Lost Boys. Another young actor that died too soon. Click on the pic for the full story.

Every human competitor now running the Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race will be tested for alcohol and illegal drugs on the trail for the first time in the history of the 1,100-mile race - a change defending champion Lance Mackey believes is directed at him. No matter who it's directed at I'm pretty sure a lot of the competitors do one or the other. It's an 1,100 mile race in freezing temps in the middle of no where, alone. What else are they sposed to do? If they do this I'm pretty sure they won't have any competitors. Click on the pic for the full story.

The woman accusing Ben Roethlisberger of sexual assault told police the whole thing went down inside the women's restroom of a Georgia nightclub. Big Ben's in big trouble, at least Favre just threw picks, and now he's not even our problem. Click on the pic for the full story.

The East Sussex coroner Alan Craze told the Hastings inquest: ?It?s a mystery to me. If you were choosing to take your own life, that?s not the way you would do it.
?It seems to me that it can?t have been a single stab wound. He seems to have worked on it. The pencil was blunt.? Mr Burton?s sister Patricia Goodell told the hearing the pencil had sentimental value to her brother as it once belonged to their late mother. That's an interesting way to do it i guess, the wrong way if you ask me that had to hurt so bad. Click on the pic for the full story.

Betty White has confirmed that she?ll appear on Saturday Night Live, according to People. While attending Elton John?s Oscar viewing party, the magazine asked White, ?Are you doing Saturday Night Live?,? and the actress said, ?Yes.? But White did not offer up any further details. Neither White?s agent or a rep for SNL could confirm White?s statements. The Golden Girls star has been the subject of a growing online campaign to get the legend to host SNL. She is such a national treasure. I hope they do some kind of Golden Girls skit, cause that show was great, right up there with Mr. Belvedere. They should also do a Password skit. Other than that I guess I don't know what they could do with a 88 year old host.

In most of his previous relationships, Bradley Laborman has been the dumpee rather than the dumper. But the 35-year-old from Mount Pleasant, Iowa, has found a way to turn that ratio around ? and make some cash doing it.
Last fall, Mr. Laborman launched IDUMP4U.com, an e-business through which strangers pay him $10 to break up with their significant others by phone. He posts some of the heart-wrenching, sleazy and just-plain-uncomfortable recordings of the calls on his YouTube channel. It's pretty bad if you have to use this guy or anyone for that matter to end a relationship for you, but if you click on the pic you can also see why it's funny.

?The Hurt Locker? won the top two prizes at Sunday's Academy Awards, taking home the best picture trophy and the best director honor for Kathryn Bigelow.
Bigelow is the first woman in the 82-year history of the Oscars to earn Hollywood's top prize for filmmakers. Not really any surprises except for maybe "The Hurt Locker" winning best picture over "Avatar". But, I think that it was the right choice even though I haven't seen "The Hurt Locker" it's based on a true story, "Avatar" not so much. Click on the pic for the full story.

A 46-year-old bird enthusiast from Zion visited the Nachusa Grasslands a few weeks back with one main goal: catch a glimpse of a rare prairie falcon that had been spotted in the Downstate preserve.Camera, binoculars and spotting scope in tow, Eric Walters ended up with something else: snapshots of a golden eagle hunting seemingly impossible prey -- a grown white-tailed deer."It was really, really exciting to see one," Walters said, referring to the golden eagle. "And to see one hunting, going for a kill -- I've never seen that before. And then to see a golden try to take something out significantly heavier . . . hunting a deer is off the charts."

It's National Procrastination Week! Let's celebrate it by not honoring it till next week. I would have told you before Thursday, but I was putting it off. Actually the whole thing behind it is to teach you ways not to procrastinate. I'll check out the article later, if you want to just click on the pic.

Just before dawn on Thursday morning, Richard Code disappeared into the darkness and lit out for the Ontario wilderness, bringing little more than a few supplies and the skills he had learned from watching Survivorman, a reality show about subsisting in the bush.
The 41-year-old left behind a note, asking his landlady to call police if he failed to return by Sunday night. On Monday, she reported him missing and on Wednesday afternoon, Code?s body was found in a marshy, snowed-in area just north of Huntsville.
Police say Code?s death is not considered suspicious at this time and his brother Stephen Code said OPP have informed him that the cause of death was hypothermia. Unless your completely and totally bad ass like Les or Bear don't try to be cause you'll end up like this guy. I love these shows and the wilderness, but I still like to have a tent and other basic outdoors equipment. Click on the pic for the full story.

Monica Mayhem had become accustomed to a certain degree of luxury in her sex life.
The Brisbane-born, US-based porn veteran once worked in Bel Air mansions, enjoying the pampering associated with dedicated costume designers and hefty budgets.
Then the internet came along. Like video killed the radio star, the bright lights of the world's pornographic film industry are being bound, gagged and held to ransom by the world wide web. Oh, boo hoo your still getting paid to have sex, must suck. Click on the pic for the full story.

Some very special pieces of Canadian Olympic hockey equipment are missing.
The gloves and stick used by Sidney Crosby to score the winning goal in Canada's gold medal victory over the U.S. at the Vancouver Winter Olympics on Sunday are unaccounted for, Hockey Canada said Tuesday night. Crosby flung the equipment into the air after his overtime goal in Canada's dramatic 3-2 win.
"After the game, with all the celebration and everything, the equipment was all collected and it was being put in the players' bags," said Johnny Misley, Hockey Canada's executive vice-president of hockey operations. "(It) was noticed that Sidney's stick - that he scored the winning goal with - and his gloves, were missing.
"We're doing a little bit of an investigation to find out what happened."
Misley said the Hockey Hall of Fame initially requested Crosby's stick for its collection.
"There was a request for Sid's stick at the time, but at that time we knew it was missing so we couldn't give it to them." Oops, they "misplaced" the gold medal's too. Nah, they didn't but why would they even want this stuff? That's like wanting Michael Phelps speedo's from the last summer Olympic's, and why would you want that?

Host Tom Bergeron and former finalist Melissa Rycroft revealed the cast Monday. It includes Pamela Anderson, astronaut Buzz Aldrin and reality stars Kate Gosselin and Jake Pavelka. Also competing for the mirrorball trophy will be: gold medal figure skater Evan Lysacek, sportscaster Erin Andrews, singer Nicole Scherzinger, football star Chad Ochocinco and actors Shannen Doherty, Aiden Turner and Niecy Nash. Their kind of stretching the stars thing don't you think? The only one I'd want to watch dance is Pam, and that's only if it's on a pole. Click on the pic for the full story.

The massive 8.8 earthquake that struck Chile may have changed the entire Earth's rotation and shortened the length of days on our planet, a NASA scientist said Monday.
The quake, the seventh strongest earthquake in recorded history, hit Chile Saturday and should have shortened the length of an Earth day by 1.26 microseconds (millionths of a second), according to research scientist Richard Gross at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, Calif. I've noticed the difference right away, how about you? Click on the pic for the full story.

The city of Vancouver and the ski village of Whistler are terrific hosts for these Olympic Games. The air is clean, the public transit is scarily efficient, and the harbors, with snowcapped mountains for a backdrop, are picturesque. Whistler, two hours to the north and home to the skiing, sliding and Nordic events, is a winter wonderland. But let's face it: if public intoxication were an Olympic sport, Vancouver and Whistler would own the podium. The ultimate confirmation came from John Powers, the Boston Globe's esteemed Olympics writer who has covered 17 Games, starting with Montreal in 1976. Since then, he has missed only one Olympics, Moscow in 1980, which the U.S. boycotted. When asked if Vancouver is setting Olympic records for revelry. "It is, by far," he said. "There's just a couple of thousand people every night with nothing to do, no tickets, concentrated downtown. It's their chance to live the dream. So it wasn't just the women's hockey team, which by the way made the men's team look like a bunch of sissy's for not getting loaded on the ice after their win. But apparently it's the whole country.

If you can't see the fine print it says: ....for little tigers too. Help keep your cats (and dogs) out of trouble: Always spay or neuter. Who knew that PETA could be anything other than annoying.

A search party of missing actor Andrew Koenig's friends found his body Thursday in a sprawling Vancouver park, and his father later said that the 41-year-old "Growing Pains" star had taken his own life. It'd be kind of funny if he decided to do it by overdosing on Viagra. Click on the pic for the full story.
