|80′S TV ACTOR ANDREW KOENIG FOUND DEAD IN VANCOUVER PARK
Friends of Andrew Koenig, who had formed their own search party, discovered the 41-year-old actor’s body in a Vancouver park, authorities confirmed last night. Koenig once lived in Vancouver and his friends knew that he enjoyed the city’s Standley Park when he was a resident.
Andrew’s father, Walter Koenig, also an actor known for his role as Chekov on the original Star Trek series, made a public statement. “Our son took his own life,” Koenig said. “He was obviously in a lot of pain.”
The former “Growing Pains” actor, who played “Boner” alongside Kirk Cameron’s character, was suffering from clinical depression at the time of his disappearance well over a week ago. His family, Kirk Cameron, and numerous others had extended pleas via the media in an effort to locate him. Despite friends of his saying that he gave away his belongings, turned off his phone and cleaned out his apartment prior to his disappearance, authorities maintained up until yesterday that they were still seeking a “living person,” since there had been Koenig sightings in the area as recently as the week of the 14th.
BRITTANY MURPHY’S CORONER REPORT REVEALED
The official Coroner’s report for Brittany Murphy has dispelled every rumor that was floating arond about her…she wasn’t abusing drugs, she wasn’t abusing alcohol, and despite the rumors that she was severely underweight, she wasn’t dangerously thin at all.
What the report did show is that she had some elevated levels of Vicodin in her system as well as some over the counter allergy and drug meds, but there was nothing that indicated she’d ingested any illegal substances recently. As for her weight, the report reads, “The overall appearance of the body is consistent with the reocrded height of 65 inches and the recorded weight of 115 lbs. The body appears well-developed, normally muscular and slim, but not excessively thin.
The Coroner concluded shortly after her death that it was related to pneumonia and while it may have been preventable, it was accidental.
Murphy passed away in December at the age of 32 years old.
IS WHITNEY HITTING THE CRACK PIPE AGAIN?
After disappointingly bad performances during the first few nights of her Australian performance, tabloid rumors are suggesting that perhaps Whitney is either suffering from some debilitating health problems and/or drug abuse problems again.
A video surfaced this week of her singing “I Will Always Love You” in Brisbane this week, and she was visibly having trouble through the performance, and couldn’t hit the high notes with the ease that she used to. Of course, that was WHEN she actually hit one of the high notes (someone else in her band took care of several of them). She actually stopped halfway through the tune to take a water break, and made no effort to conceal the fact that she was worn out, both physically and vocally.
Her rep has released a statement saying that Whitney “is in great health and having a teriffic time on her tour with her fans.”
“BACHELOR” SKANK HAS A SEX TAPE!
There’s a new “celebrity” sex tape on the loose, featuring none other than “Bachelor” contestant Rozlyn Papa! The footage has reportedly been shopped to numerous triple-x outlets already. A rep from one of the adult websites says he’s seen the tape, and that there is absolutely no question that the girl in the video is Rozlyn.
The footage reportedly shows Papa gettin’ it on with a “well-endowed” gentleman. I’m guessing that it must not be the “Bachelor,” then.
Rozlyn’s rep has issued a statement saying that her client has no knowledge of any sex tape. Which is a far cry from outright denial, meaning that they must suspect she may have unknowingly appeared in one at some time.
There is no quicker way to fame, it seems, than to film yourself bumping uglies, then selling the tape!
TYLER KISSES AND MAKES UP WITH AEROSMITH
It’s been an interesting few months between Aerosmith and Steven Tyler. After a tension-filled tour, in which he had virtually nothing to do with his bandmate’s, a public interview in which he claimed he was leaving the band, a trip to rehab, and threats to sue Aerosmith if they went ahead with their plans to find a new lead singer, it looks as though Tyler has either reconciled with the boys or threatened his way back into the circle.
Aerosmith has announced that they’ll be performing their summer “Cocked, Locked and Ready to Rock” tour with Steven Tyler. The announcement was made via a video on the band’s website, featuring Tyler with the rest of them joking about how he “auditioned and got the gig.”
Joey Kramer also said in an interview this week that things with the band were “copacetic…We will carry on and do what we do best.”
Get high and screw groupies?
(Oh, my bad. They actually meant sing rock music, apparently.)
DENISE WILLIAMS HAS THE POWER TO BURY EX, CHARLIE SHEEN
Authorities in Colorado are ready to interview three other women as they prepare to prosecute Charlie Sheen on domestic violence charges. Ex girlfriend Brittany Ashland, Kelly Preston and Denise Richards are all on the list of women they’d like to speak to.
Denise Richards, mind you, is the ex that STILL complains about what a lousy person and human being she thinks Sheen is, and will talk about it at every available opportunity.
Not good news for you, Chuck!
At this point, no subpoenas have been issued. The district attorney is hoping that the women will cooperate and speak willingly. However, if that’s not the case, they don’t appear to be against going the route of legally forcing them to tell their Sheen stories.
As one online blogger said, “I don’t want to say this is the greatest moment of Denise Richards’ life, but I will say she’s wearing a party hat and spraying her kids in the face with champagne as we speak.”
Meanwhile, Sheen is said to be rehabbing his cocaine abuse issues away at the moment – a stint in rehab that has put CBS’ “Two and a Half Men” on hold, mind you. There is some talk that he could actually lose his job on the show. There’s apparently a morality clause in his contract that would allow the network to fire him if he disgraces them.
Not that this is a likelihood, as the show is currently a huge cash cow for the network. Sources on-set say that they’re willing to do what it takes to keep the show running with the current cast for as long as possible.
PIERCE BROSNAN NEVER WANTED TO NOT BE JAMES BOND
Pierce Brosnan, it seems, didn’t willingly give up the role of Bond…James Bond. In an interview with ABC, the actor confessed that he’s still quite confused about why the Bond franchise chose to replace him with Daniel Craig.
“I thought everything was going so well,” Brosnan told ABC. “I had the greatest time in my life, making that character, being part of that franchise.”
Brosnan graciously offered his blessing to Craig in 2007, saying that the actor was “on his way to becoming a memorable Bond.” Not that he would actually know. He reveals that the one time he tried to watch it on a plane, the television system on-board broke down. When they fixed it and restarted the film, it broke down again. Pierce never has seen “Casino Royale” all the way through.
Perhaps the effects of kinetic hatred is underrated…
BRISTOL PALIN HAS EXACTED HER FINANCIAL REVENGE ON EX LEVI
It seems that Levi Johnston didn’t have his day in court this week. After insisting that he had been forced out of his son’s life by the Palins, an Alaskan judge has ordered him to pay a whopping $18,500 in back child support to his ex fiance Bristol. He’s also been ordered to pay close to $1700 a month to cover her future child support needs.
Palin had been arguing that Johnston owed her $105,000 in child suppot in 2009, but had only paid her around $4500 of that. Johnston’s manager came back, saying that he knew his client had paid at least $10,000 to her that year.
Bristol Palin was present in court, but Levi wasn’t. Her lawyer told the media afterward, “Bristol is pleased with the court rulings today and looks forward to resolving the remaining issues with Levi.”
