Stanely Kamel passes away

Sad news indeed. Actor Stanley Kamel passed away at the age of 65. He's the guy who plays the role of psychiatrist in “Monk”. Right now, all reports suggest that cause of death was a heart attack.

The network which airs the quirky show about that lovable obsessive-compulsive detective released this statement:

"USA is deeply saddened by the news of Stanley Kamel's passing. Stanley was an amazingly talented and extremely kind man, and an important member of the USA family. He will be sorely missed.”

Our condolences to family and loved ones. (Exposay)

Vanilla Ice arrested

Times like this you would wish you'd picked a slightly more macho stage name. Well, The artist known as Vanilla Ice, wasn't all sugar and spice and everything nice; he was arrested for domestic battery.

Check it out, his real name leaves much to be desired. Mr Robert Van Winkle is supposed to be in court today.

He's come a long way since his spunky teen-boy years, hasn't he? It's a bit creepy how his mug shot fits in with the whole criminal image. (People)

Deleted Scenes from The Dark Knight

/Film had a rumor about The Dark Knight; for the sake of political correctness and sensitivity, a scene of Heath Ledger might be chopped off for the theatrical version (and DVD, probably). This particular scene had the Joker playing dead in a creepy body bag. You can see why some people might find it a bit disconcerting.

But methinks there could be a way around it. What about the tragic death of Brandon Lee whilst finishing up the rather Gothic flick by the name of The Crow? They completed the movie and paid tribute to him. Anyone know if scenes were left out? Perhaps I should be asking, how many of you have watched this fantastic movie? (/Film)

J.J. Abrams Sci-fi project: Fringe

There's a gonna be a new addition to J.J.Abrams' new sci-fi flick called Fringe. It's none other than Jeff Pinker of Lost fame(producer and writer). Now that we know the brains behind it, time to sign up for more alerts.

Although I must admit I laughed when I first about Fringe. AICN says about Fringe:

The project is about a hot FBI girl (Anna Torv) who teams with an unbalanced scientist (John Noble) and the scientist’s caretaker son (Joshua Jackson) to investigate a growing wave of paranormal phenomena.

For some reason this translated as the original Dr. Frankenstein and Igor teaming up with Sherlock Holmes. It'll probably be an awesome story, ignore my take on it.
