The grizzly bear Will Farrell is seen wrestling with in his new movie Semi Pro attacked and killed a trainer at a training facility.
The bear, Rocky, is 5 years-old and 7 feet tall. He weighs more than 700 pounds. He has been used in numerous films and advertisements in the past, and was training for an upcoming commercial when he lunged at Stephan Miller, 39, biting him in the neck.
Maurice Moore of the San Bernadino Fire Department looked grim as he told reporters, “He, unfortunately, bit one of the trainers. A single bite to the neck, no aggression acts to follow.”
“San Bernadino Big Bear City was the first on scene. They did CPR but to no avail.”
Other trainers used pepper spray to contain the bear.
Cameron Diaz has released an official statement to the public regarding the untimely death of her father.
“My mom, sister and I are deeply appreciative of the overwhelming outpouring of love and support during this difficult time for us and all of our family. My dad was loved by so many people and his humor and spirit will always live on in our hearts.”
Cameron Diaz’s father died early Tuesday morning unexpectedly.
Emilio Diaz, 58, had recently contracted the flu which had morphed into pneumonia. His death was a shock to friends and family who say he was in excellent physical health.
Filming on Diaz’ latest film, “My Sister’s Keeper,” has been halted. I would assume Cameron will be taking some time off to grieve.
Emilio had a brief part in the film, “There’s Something About Mary.” He played the character, “Jailbird.”
Dr. Phil and his talk show are once again at the center of a heated debate.
Eight teenagers between the ages of 14 and 18 brutally lured and then attacked a 16 year-old girl who was a former friend of theirs because they say she was talking trash about them on the internet. The girls savagely punched and beat the girl while videotaping the attack in hopes of posting the footage on YouTube.
They did, and they got what they wanted, an assload of attention.
But as the nation watched the film aghast at the savageness of the attack, a producer for the Dr. Phil show was busy bailing out the apparent ‘ringleader’ in order to get exclusive coverage of the story.
D. Phil’s rep spoke in his defense Saturday saying, “We have helped guests and potential guests in the past when they need financial assistance to come on the show – assisting with clothing allowance, lost wages, accommodations, travel and necessities. In this case, certain staff members went beyond our guidelines.”
The attack lasted more than 30 minutes and the victim is now struggling with hearing loss, blurred vision and a swollen face.
From CNN:
The suspects, who range in age from 14 to 18, all face charges of kidnapping, which is a first-degree felony, and battery, said Chip Thullbery, a spokesman for the Polk County state attorney. Three of them are also charged with tampering with a witness.
Everyone involved in the case was under a gag order imposed by a judge. The only attorney for the teens who has been publicly identified did not return calls from CNN, and his assistant cited the gag order as the reason. The teens are scheduled for their first appearance in court Friday.
Wow, these little jealous bitches need to learn a lesson here and serve as an example to all the other little f*ckwads who think it’s OK to assault people. Especially with the sole intent to videotape it so they can have bragging rights.
Shame on you Dr. Phil and your show. He acts like he knew nothing about bailing the little twat out, like it was all the fault of a producer. Whatever. The producer is just the one taking the fall. I’m sure there was someone above him who approved it, and that might even have been Phil himself.
I love how the mother of the bailed teen cries and complains about not having the money to bail her daughter out. I tell you what. If that little bitch was MY daughter I would be thankful I didn’t have the money to bail her out, because I would probably beat her ass if she did get out. And I certainly wouldn’t allow someone else to pay her bail. I would be ashamed of her and would expect her to serve whatever time needed in order to pay her consequences for such a heinous act.
Am I wrong? WTF is wrong with parents these days? You are NOT protecting your kids by letting them off easy!
Gloria Allred is set to represent the victim in this case. Go Gloria. I love it. If the bullies families don’t have money to make bail, I can’t wait to see how hard it’s going to be to find a good attorney.
Corinne Bailey Rae’s husband died Saturday of a suspected drug overdose.
Jason Rae, 31, died at his home in Leeds, England. It is not known if Corinne was with him at the time of death. She is said to be absolutely devastated and has understandably refrained from releasing any statements.
Jason was known to have issues with substance abuse. A friend of his said, “He partied a lot and had struggled with drugs for years.”
Corinne and Jason were married in 2001, before her sudden rise to fame.
Corinne said in an interview last year, “I feel really lucky that I found someone that I want to spend my life with at such an early age.”
West Yorkshire Police released a statement saying, “Police were called to a flat in the Hyde Park area of Leeds - where they found the body of a 31-year-old man. A 32-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of supplying controlled drugs. He is now on police bail pending further enquiries.”
The autopsy was inconclusive and results of toxicology tests will determine the cause of death.
Bailey Rae’s record label also released a statement, “EMI Records would like to offer its sincere condolences to Corinne Bailey Rae and the Rae family at this tragic time. We ask that the media respects Corinne’s privacy and that of her entire family.”
So sad. I think Corinne is just darling. Hopefully she will pull through.
Patrick Swayze has decided to turn to an experimental procedure in hopes of treating his pancreatic cancer.
A new surgical tool called the CyberKnife is used to deliver high doses of radiation to the affected area without damaging surrounding tissue. Doctors hope that the treatment will stop the cancer from growing or shrink the pancreas enough to where it can be removed.
Swayze is receiving the treatment at Stanford University’s Cancer Center.
