"Corey Haim, a 1980s teen heartthrob for his roles in "Lucas" and "The Lost Boys" whose career was blighted by drug abuse, has died. He was 38.
Haim died at 2:15 a.m. Wednesday at Providence St. Joseph Medical Center in Burbank, Los Angeles County coroner's Lt. Cheryl MacWillie said.
An autopsy will determine the cause of death and there were no other details, she said. Police Sgt. Michael Kammert said there's no evidence of foul play.
Haim had flulike symptoms before he died and was getting over-the-counter and prescription medications, Police Sgt. William Mann said. The cause of death is unknown, Mann said.
"He could have succumbed to whatever (illness) he had or it could have been drugs. Who knows?" Mann said. "He has had a drug problem in the past."
Earlier, police officials told CBS Radio News that the actor died of an apparent drug overdose, though it's unknown what kind of drug was involved."
This is so sad. I still own "The Lost Boys" on VCR and watch it occasionally. I never watched the 2 Coreys show so I still think of him as Jason Patrick's little brother. That movie is a classic. The redo "The Lost Boys 2" is not half as good as the original. Now I am going to have to watch this again and try not to think of the little brother strung out on drugs.

Ellen Fitzpatrick "wrote" this book that includes 240 of the 1.5 million letters sent to JFK's widow after his death in 1963. She tracked down and got the permission from the letter writers to be included in the book. She will probably make much money from this book; since people are still intriqued by JFK after all these years.

Tiger is back home from his counciling session in Arizona. (Is it not sad that the world even knows this?) The part that I find interesting in this whole mess is his sponsors jumping ship. Doesn't this man pay out lots of money to some PR people who should have made this go away and kept his sponsors happy?
"The fallout from Woods' sex scandal has been immense. He already has had three sponsors drop him - Accenture, AT&T and, most recently, Gatorade - while other companies like Gillette have suspended promotions of Woods while he takes his break from golf.
When he does return, he will have a different logo on his golf bag, replacing AT&T, if he can find a deal."
Just because his personal life is all screwed up right now doesn't change the fact that he is indeed one of the best golfers to ever play professional golf. The only difference now is that he won't be making as much money because most sponsors want someone who is squeeky clean, and Tiger is not anymore.

Walking the dog from your car might be expensive in Britain |

Walking your dog sitting in the driver's seat of your car with the leash hanging out the window is NOT the way to go in Britain.
"LONDON - An English dog-owner was fined and barred from driving for six months after taking his pet for a stroll while sitting behind the wheel of his car.
Prosecutors said Paul Railton was spotted by a cyclist driving slowly along a country lane in December, holding his dog's leash through the car window as the animal trotted alongside.
Railton pleaded guilty Monday to not being in proper control of a vehicle, but told the court that "a lot of people exercise their dogs in that manner."
I have seen that happen here in the US, especially in cold weather, but I cannot say that I have ever seen the dog on a leash. The dog is usually free and running in front of the vehicle. I wonder if there are fines involved in the US too?

"Wichita Police said a Southeast High School student who was believed to be killed in a traffic accident, actually died when she was run over by the car."
A 16 year old girl was killed after she lived through a gang fight, a car chase fight between the two gangs, and a car accident involving a car she was in and the opposing gang's car (both cars apparently crashed into trees). She lived through all of that and then got run over by the other sides' car when they were trying to get their car free from the tree.
This reads like something out of the movie "Final Desination". Both drivers were also 16 years old and have been arrested.
