Los Angeles, CA, United States (AHN) - The mastermind behind the selling of Gary Coleman's photos in the hospital is his ex-wife Shannon Price, it has been learned. The gruesome photos, in which the former child star is seen in his death bed, was orchestrated by the ex-wife who refused to help him when he hit his head.
According to TMZ, the photos have now been sold to a tabloid. One of the images, which shows Coleman after he died, was not part of the selling deal. The other three pictures may hit stands this week.
Price's rep, who originally doubted the existence of the pictures, then admitted to TMZ that "Shannon and her family did take pictures but they were never meant to get out."
And although the website's sources insist that Price, who asked a production company to shoot the pictures, will get a cut of the profit, the rep claims that she is "in no way getting compensated for these pictures."
Price, the wife Coleman divorced after a year of marriage, told the doctors to pull the plug on the "Diff'rent Strokes" star's life support just two days after he fell and hit his head at his Utah home. A recorded 911 call was also made public, in which Price was heard refusing to help Coleman because the blood made her gag.
On May 29, a day after Coleman died, Price was pictured smiling and posing for photos during her interview about Coleman's death.
A police report indicated that there was "nothing suspicious" about Coleman's death. Price may not have anything to do with his death, but her failure to express the right emotions during what is supposed to be a grieving period sends chills to the tragic actor's fans
A gunman shot and killed his wife outside a South Florida restaurant where she worked, then targeted women inside and killed three others before committing suicide, police said Monday.
Police said 38-year-old Gerardo Regalado bypassed at least two men when he fired at the women inside. Three women were hospitalized in critical condition, Hialeah police Detective Eddie Rodriguez said.
"He went straight for the women," Rodriguez said.
Regalado is the half brother of former baseball star pitcher Orlando "El Duque" Hernandez, who pitched for the New York Yankees and the Chicago White Sox during his nearly 20-year Major League Baseball career.
The shooting began Sunday night in a parking lot outside the Yoyito Restaurant in Hialeah, where Regalado of Coral Gables was seen arguing with Liazan Molina, Rodriguez said. According to Florida marriage records, the couple married in 2007.
According to police, Regalado shot and killed Molina, 24, then entered the restaurant and fired on six women inside.
One employee called her brother after the shooting, saying she had been shot and was bleeding.
Felix Fuentes said his sister, Ivet Coronado, told him to "please call 911." He said the 36-year-old woman was recovering Monday from surgery for gunshot wounds to her chest and one of her arms.
Regalado drove off after the shooting, police said. Officers found him dead of an apparent suicide a few blocks away, with the same weapon used in the restaurant shootings, Rodriguez said.
People inside the Coral Gables house where Regalado and Molina lived refused to answer a reporter's knocks at the door. A person who answered the phone identified himself only as a family friend and said the family didn't want to talk.
Hernandez's agent, Mike Maulini, told the Spanish-language newspaper El Nuevo Herald that the family does not know what caused Regalado to shoot seven women.
"This has taken everyone by surprise," Maulini said.
Regalado came to Miami from Cuba in 2006, he said.
"We do not know what might have happened. He was a good kid. Since he arrived he has tried not to depend on his brother and do his own work," Maulini.
In a statement, Hernandez's family offered condolences to the families of the seven women. "It is with great pain that we reach out to everyone affected and offer our prayers in this time of sorrow," the statement said.
It was not immediately clear if all the women shot were restaurant employees or customers. The shooting began shortly after the restaurant had closed.
A series of 911 calls released by police starting record breathless Spanish-language callers urging dispatchers to urgently send ambulances Sunday night.
"Hurry! Hurry!" said one terrified woman in Spanish to the dispatcher. "That man killed them."
A male caller in Spanish is heard on another recording at 10:11 p.m. breathing rapidly and telling the dispatcher, "He entered the Yoyito Restaurant and began shooting like crazy."
He tells the dispatcher that the man and a woman had argued before the shooting started.
"They were arguing out in front of the restaurant ... he killed the girl," the man says.
A spokeswoman for Jackson Memorial Hospital declined to release any information about the three women being treated there because all had requested privacy. No contact information for one survivor, Yasmine Dominguez, could be found. There was no answer at the Hialeah Gardens mobile home of the third, 55-year-old Mayra Delacaridad.
No working phone number could be found for Molina's relatives in the Miami area. At the Hialeah home of 56-year-old Zaida Castillo, a relative said her family did not want to speak with reporters.
Two other victims, 32-year-old Maysel Figueroa and 47-year-old Lavina Fonseca, lived next door to each other in Hialeah. People inside Fonseca's home refused to answer the door, and a neighbor said Figueroa had lived in her small cottage for only about six months.
Regular customers in the city, which has a large Cuban-American population, gathered in shock outside the restaurant on Monday.
"They are good people," said Valentin Perez, 52, who visits the restaurant for his Cuban coffee every morning.
Octavio Guzman, another customer, said the restaurant workers are always generous with those who can't afford a meal.
"You tell anyone here, 'I'm hungry and I don't have money,' and they give it to you," Guzman said.
I guess the day of fighting like a man have gone by the wayside. Now every clown with a camera wants to make a movie out of the next man and post it online.
Rapper Lil B of The Pack got sucker punched by some no name looking for some attention.
I like seeing a good fight as much as the next person but this was some straight up h*e ish.
Kristen Stewart has been named the most talented young actress in the world.
The 20-year-old actress - who is best known for her role as Bella Swan in the 'Twilight Saga' - topped a poll compiled by DVD rental firm LOVEFiLM to find the best actress under 30, beating 'Brokeback Mountain' star Michelle Williams,29, and 'Alice in Wonderland' newcomer Mia Wasikowska, 20, into second and third place respectively.
Helen Cowley, of LOVEFiLM, said: "It's hugely impressive to see such a young list of actresses making their mark this year.
"Top star Kristen is a shrewd judge of roles, with some clever career choices in recent years, so it'll be interesting to see which direction she goes in."
Kristen rose eight places from last year's number nine to clinch her victory, taking 2009's crown from 'Devil Wears Prada' starlet Anne Hathaway - who fell out of the top ten to number 18 in this year's list.
'An Education' star Carey Mulligan and 'Mamma Mia!' actress Amanda Seyfried came in fourth and fifth places respectively.
Contrary to what Lloyd said about her last year, Ciara has not "gone Hollywood," 'fake,' or 'diva' in Los Angeles. According the "Ride" singer, moving out to Los Angeles is all about business.
"When Lloyd made his public statement about what I was I found it interesting because I hadn’t talk to him so it kind of came out of nowhere for me. [My thing is] if we’ve had the moment to interact with each other and I’ve given that energy that’s one thing, but if we haven’t been around each other and you’re just saying that from nowhere at that time period I didn’t understand that," Ciara told Angela Yee of Shade 45 this week.
"In reference to the Hollywood thing, I find it very interesting how because you live in LA you’re Hollywood. That’s what it seems to be from my perspective and I’m going to be complete honest with you – I’m there to work. At the same time I am in the world of entertainment and that’s one of the places [LA] that’s very helpful for your business," she went on to say. "For me it was a business decision to stay there for the time period that I’m there, but I still own my place in Atlanta and I still own who I am as a person. I’m a southern girl in LA. I’m learning so much because it’s a completely different world."
Ciara is currently working on "Basic Instinct," her fourth studio album, due in stores this summer (2010).
Wesley Snipes is coping "very well" with the prospect of being sent to jail.
The 'Blade' actor - who was sentenced to three years in prison for willful failure to file federal income tax returns in April 2008 but remains free on bail to appeal the conviction - insists he is an "eternal optimist" who doesn't worry about what the future holds.
When asked how he will cope if he does go to prison, he said: "Very well. I have a great spiritual foundation, I am an eternal optimist, and I don't always buy into the illusions.
"I am in the illusion business, so I can decipher what's real and what's not real, and keep stable."
The 47-year-old actor also claimed some of the things that get written about him are "crazy", but he would rather not sue as it costs too much money.
He explained to Britain's FHM magazine: "The things they write about me in the press, events that never happened, it's crazy. But people believe it.
"It wastes too much money. I'd rather buy books."
When the actor was initially condemned by Judge William Terrell Hodges in April 2008, the actor blamed his failure to pay $2.8 million in unreturned tax bills from 1999 to 2001 on a lack of education.
He said: "I am an idealistic, naive, passionate, truth-seeking, spiritually motivated artist, unschooled in the science of law and finance. I am well-intentioned, but miseducated".
Bo Drain is like most typical 2nd graders in that he likes to play kids games and do most normal things a child his age should. However his way of thinking is anything but normal.
Bo says that all "gays, f*gs and hundreds of jews are going to hell." He has come to believe this because the church he attends, Westboro Baptist Church teaches that because America tolerates homosexuality, abortion and divorce we are doomed.
The church even takes kids to picket funerals for fallen soldiers where they thank God for the troops deaths for defending America.
"Military people mostly do the nastiest stuff," Bo says "And they let their kids be raped and stuff."
This is really terrible, but don't blame the kids, blame the parents. Bo's father Steve Drain is off camera coaching him on what to say.
"Remember what we always say," Steve tells Bo. "No God fearing man or woman would fight for a country awash in sin like this."
Hannah Montana is gone, if there were any doubts all one has to do is take a look at Miley Cyrus' recent actions.
The star that Disney built is kicking open the door to womanhood fast so parents might want to have their younger kids watch her new performances with caution.
The 17 year old star performed her new song "Can't Be Tamed" on the UK's family friendly show Britain's Got Talent.
During the performance one of her male dancers reaches for her breast and she knocks his hand away. Then she pretends to lock lips with a female dancer for a passionate lesbian kiss.
This latest show of the new adult oriented Miley comes on the heels of her appearance last weekend in Lisbon, Portugal where she wore a skimpy, skintight olive-colored leotard plus studded leather jacket and black high-heeled peep toe boots.
Miley may find it a little bit harder to get fans to accept the "new" look because she's been the face of Disney for so long. But that's not stopping her from trying to shed the "innocent" label quickly.
The sight of Rosa Acosta makes some men want to leave the one their with if only they stood a chance with the video vixen.
The 26 year old Dominican beauty has never looked better, has a good career going modeling and doing music videos and seems to have a good head on her shoulders.
So the question is simple, would you wife her if given the opportunity or one night stand and deuces?
LADY GAGA has sparked fury with her latest show - by mimicking a cannibal-style murder. The oddball singer pretended to be killed and eaten in front of thousands of schoolkids.
Snarling male dancers dressed in black grabbed her from behind as she strutted in a low-cut basque.
One then bit into her neck, sending fake blood gushing down her chest
The US star, 24, then writhed in the gore before slumping down in a death pose.
The stunt shocked many of the 15,000 fans at the MEN Arena in Manchester
It came days after so-called Crossbow Cannibal Stephen Griffiths was charged with murdering three prostitutes in Bradford, West Yorks.
And on the same day, crazed cabbie Derrick Bird shot dead 12 people in Cumbria.
Fan Lydia Haines, 24, said: "I'm a huge fan but was shocked like everyone else.
"It was sick, especially after what happened in Bradford and Cumbria. It
was just over the top and gory."
A mum who took her 14-year-old daughter to the show said: "I'm absolutely sickened at what I saw.
"We know Lady GaGa is not exactly mainstream for all the family, but she crossed the line this time.
"It was extremely tasteless to see her pretend to be
attacked in such a gory way, especially in front of kids."
Lynn Costello, of Mothers Against Violence, said: "I wouldn't let any child of mine go to see Lady GaGa."
By now nearly everyone has seen the video of Kat Stacks getting slapped out of a chair and pulled by her hair by a couple of goons in Atlanta.
The goons can be seen telling Kat to apologize to both Fabolous and Bow Wow. Fab came out several days later to deny any involvement in the incident now Bow Wow is doing the same.
He told XXL “Of course I had no involvement with it. It’s so far fetched for me. Come on, man, everybody knows I make records for girls."
Bow Wow has never had a thug image and he isn't trying to establish one now.
“I’m not an evil person, I don’t condone violence. That’s just the type of person I am. I just feel like, if anything, positivity is always the way out. So I think that maybe if she humbles herself a lil more and be positive and go about things differently, then hopefully she’ll be alright…but that’s not my style. I don’t put hits on people, I’m in the music business…if I wanted to fight, I’d be in the MMA.”
Houston rapper Chamillionaire had a huge hit a couple of years back with "Ridin Dirty." Since then he hasn't fared so well.
TMZ cameras recently caught up with him to ask about his mansion in Houston that was recently foreclosed on.
"Let me give you the short business answer. I bought a house in Houston and I decided to let that house go because the house ended up being worth nothing when the market went down," he said. "I paid like close to $2 million for that house and I decided to let it go, give it back to the bank. It wasn't a situation where they came and took it from me. I felt like I didn't want to pay that much for a house that I'm never at."
Cham said he's making money touring so money is definitely not the issue. It was strictly a business decision.
Newberry County deputies are still trying to determine what led to a death the sheriff called a “brutal homicide” after a man was shot and then dragged behind a truck.
The coroner used fingerprints and tattoos to identify the victim as Anthony Lamont Hill, 30, of Winnsboro.
Sheriff Lee Foster said, “We were able to determine through the post mortem exam he had been shot a single time in the head. The dragging was post mortem. Regardless, it’s still a terrifically horrible thing, even though the individual was dead when he was dragged.”
Anthony Hill
Foster said Hill’s body was dragged 10.7 miles until the rope snapped.
He said, “Dragging a body for ten miles -- what would possess someone to do such a thing?”
A motorist found Hill's body in the road on Highway 176 near Highway 773 just before 5 a.m. Wednesday. Deputies said it was immediately apparent that the injuries were much more severe than those typical in a crash.
Foster said it as one of the top three worse crimes he's seen in his 30 years in law enforcement
Deputies and investigators said they followed a trail of evidence to a mobile home located on Orchard Park Drive in Newberry.
At the residence, the deputies said they saw evidence on a pickup truck parked in front of the home that linked the vehicle to the body..
Deputies said a man who was in the home ran into a backroom and refused to respond to officers.
Foster said deputies learned the man inside was possibly heavily armed, so members of the Newberry County Sheriff’s Office Critical Incident Response Team and the State Law Enforcement Division SWAT team responded to the scene.
For about three hours, negotiators tried to get the man to surrender.
Officers then fired tear gas into the residence and after a few moments, Gregory Ashton Collins, 19, of Orchard Park Trail in Newberry, came out of the home and surrendered.
While Collins did not have any weapons on him, Foster said Collins had an empty pistol holster on his side when he was arrested.
Foster said the FBI is helping with the investigation. Foster said they are looking at the homicide as a possible hate crime.
Foster said, “If you kill somebody, its hate. But it has to meet certain criteria to fall under a federal hate crime. We wanted to go ahead and get the FBI involved on the front end. We didn't want to develop information later that said this was a hate crime and then have them have to go back over it.”
Investigators said Collins and Hill may have been friends or acquaintances, and they are not sure yet of the motive for the killing.
Foster said, “Just because we know each other doesn’t mean I can’t commit a hate crime on you. That’s part of the investigation -- but we won’t rule out that it’s a hate crime because they knew each other. Socializing together -- that does not rule that out.”
Collins is charged with murder but additional charges are pending.
Anyone with information is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 1-888-CrimeSC.
Gary Coleman's wife Shannon Price spoke publicly for the first time since his untimely death.
Price says she made the decision to have him taken off of life support and not go through with possible surgery that could have helped because "he would've have been like Muhammad Ali."
Last time I checked Muhammad Ali, who has Parkinson's disease was still making public appearances, is able to speak and is doing humanitarian work.
Price goes on to say she doesn't want people so see her as a "bitch" because she pulled his life support.
"I don't want people to be so hard on me thinking I had to pull the plug too early," she says. "He wouldn't have made it anyway, his heart would have just given out."
So which is it, would he have been left severely brain damaged or his heart would have given out? Doesn't sound like Price is exactly sure.
While that controversy rages, Price now finds herself in a battle with Gary's parents for control of his body.
RadarOnline is reporting that while Shannon planned to bury Gary in Utah his parents are arranging to have the body brought to Illinois for a private ceremony.
Sue and Willie Coleman say Shannon has no legal right to the body since Gary divorced her in 2008 according to his former manager and family spokesman Victor Perillo.
"The arrangement we're working on now is to get Gary back to his next of kin, which is his parents,” Perillo is quoted as saying. “The funeral home has been notified, the sheriff's office, we've notified them that there is to be no communication on where the body is to go unless its dealt with legally with Gary's next of kin, and that's the way it stands right now.”
A mother who never thought she would see her son and daughter again got a miraculous break when she found one of them on Facebook.
The mom's husband Faustino Utrera kidnapped the children in 1995 when they were two and three years old from San Bernadino, California and told the mom she would never see them again.
Fifteen years later she found her daughter by typing her name in on Facebook. She added her as a friend and through conversations became convinced it was really her child.
The San Bernadino police were contacted and eventually Utrera was arrested in Central Florida where he had moved with the children. He's been charged with two counts of kidnapping, and two counts of violating child custody orders.
The kids. now ages 16 and 17 are now in state custody. The mom is trying to get them back, but Carrie Hoeppner of Florida's Department of Children and Families said initially things might be difficult for all of them.
"There is no relationship there," Hoeppner said. "You don't have that immediate joyful reunification. If in fact that is what will progress, it will take time. These children will have to build a relationship, and that is something that will not happen overnight."
Twitter has quickly become a hot spot for beefs. Fabolous vs Jim Jones, Perez Hilton vs Lily Allen, Kat Stacks vs Young Money.
The latest beef is between two unlikely sources. Milwaukee Bucks guard Brandon Jennings and rapper Young Buck are going at it about of all things their Twitter names.
Just so people that are not familiar with Twitter don't get confused. Rapper Young Buck uses the name @youngbuckmarley while Brandon uses @YUNGBUCK3.
Young Buck gets the argument going by tweeting "@YUNGBUCK3 fakin like he me!! Lol RT."
"@youngbuckmarley I really don't care, are you even rellevant? Dnt come at me about a name. You can have it aka Ricky Davis."
"@YUNGBUCK3 Look bitch n***a,Im really not tripping about the name sh*t. Am I relevant? U bench riding ass p***y!!lol C Me In Da Streets!!."
"@youngbuckmarley u still cryin to 50 cent to get back with g-unit #imjustsayin."
"When i see your p***y ass dont run!! Done!!RT @YUNGBUCK3: @youngbuckmarley u still cryin to 50 cent to get back with g-unit #imjustsayin."
"@youngbuckmarley alright David. #bws Family over here homie!!!!"
Young Buck ended it by tweeting:
"People say crazy sh*t on Twitter I wonder who will back up the Crazy sh*t they say,when they see the person they say it to."
Madness, I think some people take Twitter way to serious. SMH
Things are starting to heat up in the war between the real Freeway Ricky Ross and the man who assumed his name while he was in prison, Officer Ross.
Allhiphop is reporting that Freeway Ricky is filing an injunction to block the release of the ex C.O.'s new album 'Teflon Don'.
"If William Roberts attempts to use the ‘Rick Ross’ name that he spent years earning and spending time in prison to uphold, he will be met with an injunction," a rep for Freeway Ricky told AllHipHop. "Simple as that. This is not a publicity stunt, a game or a hoax, to sell some Rick Ross albums, as some have suggested. In fact, [Freeway] Ricky Ross intends to halt the release of any Summer 2010 ‘Rick Ross’ album."
Freeway Ricky is reportedly seeking half of everything Officer Ross has ever earned.
In addition, Slip-N-Slide, Jay-Z, Antonio Reid, Island Def Jam are also being named in the suit unless an agreement can be reached.
“Jay-Z had no reason to disrespect Rick Ross and violate his name, because Jay-Z was a hustler, just like Rick Ross and [he] should’ve respected what ‘the boss’ did in the ‘game.’ L.A. Reid knew he should’ve cleared the name before letting Roberts’ art imitate [Freeway] Rick Ross’ life and exploiting his name.”
Freeway Ricky was the head on a multi million dollar cocaine empire in the 80's before getting popped by the Feds.
He was originally sentenced to life in prison in 1996 , but caught a break when the original sentence was thrown out. After being a model prisoner he was released in 2009.
Freeway Ricky Ross claims that Officer Rick Ross applied trade to register and trademark the name Rick Ross, but was refused by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office.
Drake's highly anticipated debut album leaked in full earlier this week. Various songs had already made their way to the net so the Young Money camp had to see this coming.
Unfortunately, album leaks have become the norm these days. The best an artist can hope for is a leak two weeks or less before it's release date. So in this case consider Drizzy lucky as the album is scheduled to hit store shelves June 15.
Drake took the news in stride and took to Twitter to let fans know he's not sweating it too much.
The album has features Swizz Beatz, T.I., Alicia Keys, Jay-Z, Nicki Minaj and Lil Wayne.
As always we encourage fans to support the artists and reward their hard work by buying their music through retail outlets.
