Teen heartthrob Taylor Lautner has died following alleged drug-related cardiac arrhythmia according to the Los Angeles County coroner.
Lautner, who catapulted to fame as a star of the Twilight film saga, was known for his family-friendly image, and his death evokes memories of the late River Phoenix.
At roughly 6pm EST, Lautner reportedly attended a dinner party in West Hollywood and took a liking to several exotic dancers present at the event. Witnesses claim Lautner and the women began insufflating large quantities of cocaine.
Lautner reportedly bragged at one point that h. . .

Haiti devastated by 7.0-magnitude earthquake
(Editorial)
The most powerful earthquake ever recorded in Haiti devastated parts of the impoverished island nation Tuesday, leveling a hospital in the capital, severely damaging the U.N. headquarters and other buildings, and sending panicked residents into the streets.
The magnitude 7.0 quake -- the most powerful to hit Haiti in a century -- struck shortly before 5 p.m. and was centered about 10 miles (15 kilometers) southwest of Port-au-Prince, the U.S. Geological Survey reported. It could be felt strongly in eastern Cuba, more than 200 miles away, witnesses said.

NBC is mulling a scheduling shakeup that would put Jay Leno back in late-night and put an end to the experiment that brought the talk show host to prime-time.
A person familiar with discussions held Thursday said the network is considering a scenario that would include a half-air Leno show at 11:35 p.m., pushing "The Tonight Show" with Conan O'Brien to 12:05 and Jimmy Fallon's "Late Night" to 1:05 a.m.
The person wasn't authorized to speak publicly about the discussions and spoke on condition of anonymity.

Actor Paul Reubens, playing the character Pee-wee Herman, launches his Pee-wee Herman show at a press conference at Club Nokia on December 7, 2009 in Los Angeles, California.
Pee-wee Herman, with his red bow tie and too-tight gray suit, sashays back to his theater roots on Jan. 12 with "The Pee-wee Herman Show." The 90-minute production plays for a month at Los Angeles’ Club Nokia.
"I toyed with the idea of bringing Pee-wee back a couple of years ago, but I’m a lazy guy at heart," says Paul Reubens, whose high-pitched alter ego clearly still has a fan base. A debut date last Nove. . .

Conan O’Brien released a statement Tuesday saying that he no longer wanted to be the host of “The Tonight Show” on NBC if it appeared at 12:05 a.m.
Mr. O’Brien’s brief run as host at 11:35 p.m. is to be cut short next month, as NBC decided to restore his predecessor, Jay Leno, to that time period. Mr. O’Brien has been growing increasingly upset in recent days about how he believes he was treated by NBC’s management.
A representative for Mr. O’Brien said Tuesday that the issue came to a head for the host on Monday and that he had “sat up all night drafting the statement.” NBC, who. . .

After an improbable rise from the Bronx projects to a job selling Gulf Coast homes, Isabel Bermudez lost it all to an epic housing bust — the six-figure income, the house with the pool and the investment property.
Now, as she papers the county with résumés and girds herself for rejection, she is supporting two daughters on an income that inspires a double take: zero dollars in monthly cash and a few hundred dollars in food stamps.
With food-stamp use at a record high and surging by the day, Ms. Bermudez belongs to an overlooked subgroup that is growing especially fast: recipients. . .

A man in the U.S. has 'bought' an item on Amazon with a price tag of nearly three billion dollars - just to see what would happen.
Brian Klug spotted the copy of the Discovery Channel's 'Cells' CD-ROM for sale at $2,904,980,000 (£1,800,979,540).
Out of sheer curiosity, convinced the price tag was a mistake, he put in his credit card details to buy it and stepped back to see what would happen next.
First off, Mr Klug from San Mateo, California, was charged $3.99 for posting and handling.

Britain is facing an “obesity time-bomb” with the number of middle-aged people dying as a result of being overweight more than doubling in less than a decade, official figures have disclosed.

Obesity was a contributing factor in a further 757 deaths last year – compared to just 358 in 2000.
The official figures were released by ministers amid growing concern that obesity will soon present a bigger threat . . .
