The exact details of why Knight wants to leave are still unknown.  Some speculate that Knight is frustrated with receiving little screen time and is ready to move on.  There has also been no word from ABC as to whether producers will honor his request.

Police are saying very little as the investigation is ongoing, but two suspects – Shaha Mishaal Adham and Brian B. Scofield – have both been released after evidence proved they were not involved in the shooting.  Adham’s lawyer, Ronald Richards, has said that Adham reportedly saw Ruffalo accidentally shoot himself and then she fled the scene.  The family released a statement today saying that the funeral would be private.

Heath Ledger Receives Posthumous Acting Award

Published by lpelham under Celebrity News, Gossip Edit This

Every since Heath Ledger died in January of this year, people have been talking about how he might get an Academy Award nomination for his portrayal of the Joker in The Dark Knight. 

He might just be one step closer to that as the Australian Film Institute gave him a Best Actor award Saturday night in Melbourne.  That award was accepted by Heath’s father Kim, mother, Sally, and sister, Kate. 

Of his performance, the institute said, “It was this swaggering, psychopathic clown that turned his career into a legacy and the name Heath Ledger into an ongoing inspiration for actors everywhere.”

Bettie Page Hospitalized

Published by lpelham under Celebrity News Edit This

Bettie Page, the saucy ‘50s pin-up, has been hospitalized in an intensive care unit after suffering a heart attack.  The 85 year old Page’s bondage photos appeared in men’s magazines such as Wink in the ‘50s.  She was a Playboy centerfold in the January 1955 issue. 

While thought to have helped spark the sexual revolution, Page appeared nude, but never in sexually explicit pictures.  In 1959, she attended a Baptist church service, converted to Christianity, even briefly doing missionary work.  She left her pinup days behind to live in relative obscurity, but still remains a major sexual icon, thanks in part to cartoonist Dave Stevens using her in The Rocketeer then helping her license her classic image for merchandising.

Tsk Tsk – Boy George Charged with Imprisoning Male Escort

Published by lpelham under Celebrity News Edit This

Oh, that crazy Boy George (George O’Dowd) is being a very naughty boy!  Okay, so he has a drug problem, but really, Boy needs to stay out of trouble with the law.  He was arrested for heroin possession in 1986, sued by an ex in 1995, arrested for cocaine possession in 2005 (for which he had to do community service as a garbage man of all things!), but now, the oddest charge of all has been issued – for imprisoning a male escort.

(This file, by Jessica Hansson, is licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution license versions 2.5, 2.0, and 1.0.)

George was convicted today of imprisoning Audun Carlsen, a Norwegian man, in his East London flat, where he reportedly handcuffed Carlsen and beat him with a metal chain.  Ew, sounds like Boy took “Do You Really Want to Hurt Me?” a bit too far!

Boy has been released on bail until January 16th, when his hearing will be held.  The judge in the case has said it is very probable that Boy will face jail time for this offense. 

Perhaps when he gets out of jail, Boy and George Michael should appear together on the George & George: The Felony Tour!

Kevin Federline Dishes About Britney

Ugh, that media whore Kevin Federline is once again feeding off Britney as he appears on next week’s cover of PEOPLE magazine.  Honestly, is there NO other news going on in the world?  Anyhow, Kevin will talk about life with Britney, including the first time they met, and the big break up.  He tells PEOPLE about the custody battles, Britney’s breakdowns, how life is getting better, how he still loves Britney, blah, blah, blah.

No doubt he will toot his own horn as the World’s Greatest Father (he has enough kids – he should be!).  Almost makes me wish I hadn’t just renewed my subscription to PEOPLE – I think I can do without this issue.

Michael Phelp’s Thanksgiving

If you are hoping for a Michael Phelp’s hookup, you may be out of luck.  Phelps took his girlfriend of two months, Las Vegas cocktail waitress Caroline “Caz” Pal, to his family home in Baltimore for Thanksgiving.  The two met after his incredible Beijing Olympic run.

Phelps seems to have turned his interests from swimming to poker.  He made the final table at the Caesars Palace Poker Classic and hopes to participate in next year’s World Series of Poker.  Since Pal is a waitress at Palm’s Casino Resort’s Moon Nightclub, it looks like Phelps will have plenty of opportunity to hone his poker skills in Vegas.
