"'King of Infomercials' Don Lapre Slit Own Throat with Razor
"King of Infomercials" Don Lapre died from a self-inflicted razor blade wound to the neck, law enforcement sources tell TMZ.
We're told jail guards found piles of blood-soaked clothing lining Don's bed in his Arizona jail cell. Sources say ... officials believe Don used the clothing to conceal the bleeding in order to thwart efforts to save his life.
Lapre was found dead in his cell Sunday morning. The autopsy was completed yesterday.
As we previously reported, Don's mother claims her son had been treated for severe depression after the TV pitchman was jailed in a vitamin fraud case. She also claims jail officials took away his meds, which may have played a role in his apparent suicide. "
Slit his own throat? I believe he received full "help" for that. "Apparent suicide"... Oh, please...

"Ex-Weezer bassist Mikey Welsh dies in Chicago
CHICAGO (AP) — Former Weezer bass player Mikey Welsh, who also found success in his second career as an artist, died in a Chicago hotel room, police said Sunday.
Chicago spokeswoman Laura Kubiak said Welsh was supposed to check out of the Raffaello Hotel at 1 p.m. Saturday. When he didn't, hotel staff went to his room, entered it and found him unconscious and not breathing, Kubiak said.
The Cook County Medical Examiner's Office said autopsy results will be available Sunday afternoon. Kubiak said there's nothing to indicate foul play.
Welsh, 40, of Burlington, Vt., performed with Weezer from 1998 to 2001, leaving after suffering a nervous breakdown, according to the band's website. He eventually established himself in a second career as a painter.
"I'm taking a break from music," he told MetroWest Daily News in 2002. "I really feel the need to reinvent myself and move on, and I couldn't be happier painting. Music is still an important part of my life, but I really have no desire to actually play it."
Weezer posted a message on its website, saying Welsh's time with the band was "vital, essential, wild, and amazing."
"A unique talent, a deeply loving friend and father, and a great artist is gone, but we will never forget him," the band said.
Welsh planned to attend Weezer's Sunday performance at Riot Fest in Chicago.
"i'm excited to see the boys, hang out and have some fun," he wrote on his Facebook page earlier this month."

Don't know if this is the best thread, but there has been some speculation on how terribly thin Femi Moore has been looking lately.
They keep their sex slaves very, very thin...

"Nicolas Cage’s son Weston and his mother Christina Fulton are to appear in a new reality TV show called “Uncaged.”
Nicolas Cage’s ex-girlfriend and their son are to star in a new reality TV show.
Christina Fulton and 20-year-old Weston Cage - who checked into rehab in July and was arrested twice on suspicion of domestic violence following a fight with wife Nikki –have agreed to be followed by cameras for “Uncaged,” a new VH1 programme.
A source told America’s Star magazine: “Christina said the show will be like a modern-day Addams Family. Weston just wants to show the world he’s not mentally ill.”
News of the show comes after Christina revealed plans to release an album, also called Uncaged, which features lyrical attacks on her ex-partner.
Speaking about the record, she said: “This has been a cathartic experience to help me move forward from the past.”
Her first single, “Thank You,” features the lyrics: “You stood there and you lied right through your teeth / You gave me your word you promised everything - You’re not the guy that I fell for, you’re the monster I left / Such a snake, my worst mistake, yea, all you made was a mess. I learned to hate what you stand for, can’t believe I was blind / But you’ll get yours and I’ll be fine, honey, all in good time.” "

"Madonna's Brother Is Homeless
While Madonna kicks back in her newly renovated $32 million NYC townhouse and her homes in Los Angeles and London, her second eldest brother is living under a bridge and on the streets of Michigan.
Anthony Ciccone, 55, has opened to local news site The Michigan Messenger in an interview that addresses the influx of homeless flocking to Traverse City because of its generous meal program and shelter program.
"My family turned their back on me, basically, when I was having a hard time," said Ciccone, who grew up in Rochester Hills, Mich. along with his six siblings including his multiplatinum music artist sister, 53. "You think I haven't answered this kind of question a bazillion times -- why my sister is a multibazillionaire, and I'm homeless on the street? Never say never. This could happen to anybody."
Ciccone attributes his status to losing his job at his father's Suttons Bay winery over a year ago."

"Suicide"? Any moron realizes its a cold blooded murder... www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2052886/Anneka-Vasta-mystery-Navy-police-appeal-help-death-Penthouse-model-washed-beach.html"Police baffled by mystery death of Caligula actress found naked and washed up on beach with broken neck
Questions over death of Anneka Vasta, who appeared in infamous soft-porn movie Caligula in 1979 and was former Penthouse Pet of the Year Naked body discovered on San Diego beach with suspicions of foul play Her sisters firmly refute suggestions she committed suicide Vasta was awarded $4million in damages in 1990 after sexual harassment from Penthouse publisher Bob Guccione
Navy investigators are asking for public help as they probe the death of a former Penthouse model and Caligula actress whose body washed up in San Diego County.
Authorities want to know whether anyone saw Anneka Vasta before joggers found her naked body on a Marine training beach at Camp Pendleton on January 4 this year.
The 58-year-old was discovered with a broken neck and back. She had drowned. Police are trying to establish how she got there and whether her death was a suicide.
Former centre-fold Vasta lived a life of relative glamour in the 1970s and 80s, being named the 1975 Penthouse Pet of the Year, under the name Anneka Di Lorenzo, and appearing in Bob Guccione's infamous soft-porn film Caligula.
She later won $4million in a landmark sexual harassment suit against Penthouse publisher Guccione, whom she had dated, after he compelled her to have sex with two of his business associates.
The Naval Criminal Investigative Service is asking if anyone recalls seeing Vasta along Interstate 5, where her car was found parked at a popular scenic overlook, the San Diego Union-Tribune reported.
Federal agents have pursued the case for nine months but are not yet able to say how Vasta got from the vantage point 60ft above sea level, to the rocky sand below, more than a mile south.
Investigators believe that if Vasta jumped from the bluffs below her car, her body would not have hit the water, because the tide is not high enough at the location, the San Diego Union-Tribune reported.
Her family strongly refutes the suggestion she committed suicide and investigators have looked into whether Vasta, known as emotionally fragile, was harmed by someone she met that New Year's Eve weekend.
'The main unanswered question that we have is how she got from her vehicle to the water,' Special Agent Rachel McGranaghan told the San Diego Union-Tribune, one of two naval investigators leading the case.
'We know her life ended in the water, in some circumstance, we just don’t know how.'
Divorced and in and out of jobs, Vasta, who was born Marjorie Lee Thoreson in St Paul, Minnesota, had been living near her sister Susan Thoreson in Sherman Oaks, Los Angeles.
Ms Thoreson said her sister began showing signs of mental problems about six or eight years ago, suffering bouts of paranoia and anxiety, the San Diego Union-Tribune.
The former Penthouse model is believed to have left Los Angeles in the early hours of January 2 and driven south in a maroon 2001 Mazda 626 sedan, with many of her possessions packed in the trunk, the paper said.
Just before 6am, she rented a room at the Motel 6 on Raintree Drive, near South Carlsbad State Beach but never checked out.
She drove around until 8.30am, making calls to family and friends, the last of which was from a the vicinity of where she parked her car. What happened after that is a mystery.
When investigators discovered the Mazda, her phone and purse were still in it, as well as a blood-stained leopard-print blouse and a sports bra, which was wrapped in a plastic bag from the Motel 6, the San Diego Union-Tribune reported.
A steak knife with Vasta's blood on it was found by the passenger floorboard. Lithium and an empty bottle of Xanax were found in the car but an autopsy showed no drugs in the dead woman's body.
The medical examiner reported shallow cuts on Vasta's wrists, consistent with a half-hearted suicide attempt. She also had two stab wounds on her chest, the San Diego Union-Tribune reported.
Susan Thoreson and Vasta's two other sisters, are convinced their sibling would not have killed herself and are troubled by the fact her neck and back were broken while she was still alive.
They point to the fact she spoke daily with her daughter, who attends Florida State University, and say she still had plenty to live for.
Her family believe Vasta's open nature could have led her into trouble.
'She's like a little girl out in the street. A stranger could walk by, and she’ll pick up a conversation with them,' Ms Thoreson told the San Diego Union-Tribune.
Vasta played Messalina, a Roman empress, in Caligula, which was the first major movie to feature eminent film actors, including Helen Mirren, in explicit sex scenes.
In 1990 she won a ground-breaking victory over Guccione for sexual harassment. A New York judge awarded her more than $4 million, though on appeal the damages were determined to be non-recoverable and the court vacated the award."

MICHELLE WILLIAMS on her Hollyweird beginnings:
“It was weird and insidious. I never really knew who I was with, who I had been with and what was in my glass. I did not know what I was doing.”
"Michelle Williams on first moving to Hollywood, without college education, without happy parents. Williams, incidentally, moved to Hollywood when she was 16 to pursue a career in acting, despite her parents’ wishes that she finish school."

"Body of California hanging victim to be exhumed
SAN DIEGO (AP) — The family of a Myanmar-born woman who was found hanged in a San Diego mansion say they'll exhume her body for more testing and the findings will be aired on the "Dr. Phil" TV show in the future.
Relatives of Rebecca Zahau don't accept the medical examiner's conclusion that she committed suicide in July at the Coronado home.
The San Diego Union-Tribune quotes a family statement as saying a public donation fund will pay for the exhumation and a second autopsy.
Zahau's naked and bound body was found in the mansion owned by her boyfriend, Jonah Shacknai, CEO of Medicis Pharmaceuticals Corp., an Arizona-based company.
Authorities say she killed herself because she was distraught over a fatal fall that Shacknai's 6-year-old son suffered at the house two days earlier."
