Getty, who suffered from advanced dementia, died at about 5:30 a.m. Tuesday at her Hollywood Boulevard home, said her son, Carl Gettleman of Santa Monica.

Russian Model commits suicide


Twenty-year-old model Ruslana Korshunova jumped to her death from the ninth-floor balcony of her New York City apartment in an apparent suicide Saturday.

There were no signs of a struggle inside Korshunova's downtown apartment police told the The New York Post.

The 5-foot-8 model from Kazakhstan, 20, was dubbed, "The Russian Rapunzel," for her long, flowing hair. She graced the covers of French Elle and Russian Vogue, and appeared in ads for March Jacobs, DKNY, Vera Wang and Christian Dior.

"Our hearts are with her family," a spokesperson for Korshunova's agency, IMG (who also reps Heidi Klum and Kate Moss) told The New York Post.

A pal told The New York Post that Korshunova had just returned from a modeling gig in Paris and seemed to be "on top of the world."

In months leading up to her apparent suicide, Korshunova ranted about love on a Web site, New York's Daily News reported Sunday.

"Do not confuse love and desire," Korshunova wrote on May 30. "Love is the sun, desire - only flash. Desire dazzles, and the sun gives life."

On March 11, the green-eyed beauty wrote, "I'm a witch. I don't care what you say!!! I know what it is. I know why my other relationships didn't work out, 'cause I'm unpredictable. Why are you afraid of it?"

In another telling post, the model who was to turn 21 on July 2, wrote, "I'm so lost. Will I ever find myself?"

Sydney Pollack has died of cancer


Oscar-winning director Sydney Pollack died of cancer Monday. He was 73.

Pollack, who was also an actor and producer, was surrounded by family at his home in Pacific Palisades when he passed, according to his publicist Leslee Dart. He was diagnosed with cancer ten months ago and had been undergoing treatment for the disease, she says.

Pollack was credited with directing 20 films, including seven with Robert Redford – most famously The Way We Were and Out of Africa, which won him two Oscars as director and as producer of the film, which won the best picture Oscar.

Pollack also received a best director Oscar nomination for the memorable 1982 comedy starring Dustin Hoffman, Tootsie.

He achieved more than 40 producer credits – from Presumed Innocent to last year's Michael Clayton.

As an actor, Pollack later appeared in a number of films, including Woody Allen's Husbands and Wives, Stanley Kubrick's Eyes Wide Shut and the recent Oscar-nominated Michael Clayton. He even turned up in guest roles on Frasier, Will & Grace and The Sopranos.

For more of Pollack's impressive body of works, check out the L.A. Times.

Pollack is survived by his wife, Claire, daughters Rebecca and Rachel, his brother Bernie, and six grandchildren.

XZIBITS newborn son has died


Very very sad and awful news XZIBITS newborn son has died. XZIBIT posted this on his MySpace earlier today:

ITS 4:32AM AND I HAVE SOME BAD NEWS........

AS you all know, I shared with you the announcment of my newborn son Xavier Kingston Joiner on may 15th and also informed you that he was born prematurly. well this week was extremly difficult for him because his lungs were not strong enough to handle regular oxygen on his own. Xavier passed away this morning at 3:30am and I must tell you this, It is unatural for a parent to bury a child. I am telling you this because of the same reason I tell you when im having great times, life is too short to be fake. Hold on to your kids if you have them, protect them and show them you love them everyday you wake up and see them, dont take a second you get to hug them teach them and care for them for granted. You can have all the material wealth in the universe but it is NOTHING compared to having your family. I am thankful for all of my blessings and im not one to question God's perfect plan, so I leave you with great love and thanks for the love that was sent earlier on my pervious blog to my son. Of course I need to take some time and handle my loss, STAY FOCUSED PEOPLE. Its not promised to any of us.

Trisha Goddard has breast cancer

It has come out today that Trisha Goddard is suffering from breast cancer. Trisha who is 50 is at home at the moment with her husband and two children while she is receiving treatment.

Trishas had the tumour removed after a routine mammogram 3 weeks ago. Trishas got to have more tests soon to see if the cancer has spread to the lymph nodes.

Trishas husband Peter Gianfranceso said:

“Trisha has to go into hospital again and then wait for the results of tests on the nodes that are being removed this time. She may possibly need, or choose to have, chemotherapy. We are both stressed and exhausted from the stress and worry, but are trying to deal with this one step at a time.”
