Michael Jackson was taken to the hospital from the house he was renting in Holmby Hills at about 12:15 p.m. He was unconscious and in a coma. He was pronounced dead not long afterwards, and people were already gathering at the hospital - the LA Times broke it first (after TMZ).

"I can't find the words right now to express how deeply sadden [sic] I am by Michael's passing. We have lost a genius and a true ambassador of not only Pop music, but of all music. He has been an inspiration to multiple generations and I will always cherish the moments I shared with him on stage and all of the things I learned about music from him and the time we spent together. My heart goes out to his family and loved ones.

"Farrah Fawcett is an icon. As part of the original trio of ridiculously beautiful and refined detectives known as Charlie’s Angels, the actress soared to untold heights of fame. She played Jill Monroe, the fun, furtively smart girl with golden tresses and a smile that could stop a missile en route. She only played Jill for one season, but left an impact on anyone who caught the show during its original run. Fawcett quickly became the sex symbol in a decade full of them, and the mania reached its pinnacle with the release of her infamous poster where she is clad in nothing more than a red bathing suit (many years before Baywatch) and her famous smile. To this day that poster remains one of the most popular pin-ups ever sold.The 90s took a different turn for the actress when she agreed to appear nude in Playboy magazine in 1995. That edition sold more than 4 million copies and became the best selling issue of the decade. She appeared once again in 1997 when she was fifty years old.Farrah Fawcett: Bold, sexy and smart. When someone famous passes away you often hear it referred to as the end of an era. When it comes to someone like Fawcett that statement could not ring more true". Source: pretty-scary.net

Q: "Have you seen Jennifer's Body yet?

Megan: I have seen it. I'm actually very happy with it.

Q: How did it turn out compared to what you expected?

Megan: Diablo is so wicked and funny and it was hard to really make a film that was up to her script but I think Karyn (Kusama, the director) did a pretty good job and I think it's one of the most interesting movies coming out this year for sure. It's offbeat comedy. It's inappropriate comedy which I find to be the funniest".

Emile Hirsch and Ben Foster at "Alpha Dog" premiere, on 3rd January 2007, L.A.

"Back in 2006, director Nick Cassavetes filmed Alpha Dog, which was based on the true story of the kidnapping and subsequent murder of 15-year-old Nicholas Markowitz. This week, Jesse James Hollywood, whose character was portrayed by Emile Hirsch in the film, took the stand in his own self-defense".
Source: nymag.com

"Emile Hirsch will never play a role as fabulously cruel for the rest of his career. He is Johnny Truelove, a drug dealer [...] Cassavetes assembles his chilly twists around Hirsch. The actor’s eyes glitter with deadpan pleasure. His character Johnny is demonic. He might be Pinky from Brighton Rock, or a young James Cagney. Hirsch wears a back-to-front baseball cap, a mobile phone and a smirk. The cruelty is banal. That’s the creepy power. It helps that his father is the neighbourhood bruiser".
