WWE's Chris Benoit Kills Family Then Self

2007-06-26T08:39:00.000-07:00

(AP story via The Drudge Report) - Pro wrestler Chris Benoit canceled a pay-per-view appearance at the "Vengeance" event in Houston because of "personal reasons" a day before he, his wife and their 7-year-old son were found dead in an apparent murder-suicide.

Details of the deaths "are going to prove a little bizarre" when released to the public, Fayette County District Attorney Scott Ballard told the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. Autopsies were scheduled Tuesday by the Georgia Bureau of Investigation in DeKalb County.
Authorities were investigating the deaths at a secluded Fayette County home as a murder-suicide and were not seeking any suspects.

Investigators believe Benoit, killed his wife and son over the weekend and then himself sometime Monday. The bodies were found Monday afternoon in three different rooms of the house on Green Meadow Lane, in a subdivision off a gravel road about two miles from the Whitewater Country Club.

Ballard told The Associated Press a gun was not used in any of the deaths. But he declined to say how the three died.

"We're pretty sure we know, but we want to confirm it with the crime lab," Ballard said early Tuesday.

Fayette County Coroner C.J. Mowell did not return phone calls. The answering service for his funeral home said he was out of town.

World Wrestling Entertainment said on its Web site that it asked authorities to check on Benoit and his family after being alerted by friends who received "several curious text messages sent by Benoit early Sunday morning."

Sheriff's Lt. Tommy Pope told WSB-TV that the three were found about 2:30 p.m., but he wouldn't release other details.

Stamford, Conn.-based WWE also said on its Web site it had been asked by authorities not to release further information on the deaths of Benoit, 40; his wife, Nancy, 43; and son, Daniel.
Benoit was born in Montreal. He was a former world heavyweight champion, Intercontinental champion and held several tag-team titles over his career. He was known by several names including "The Canadian Crippler."

"WWE extends its sincerest thoughts and prayers to the Benoit family's relatives and loved ones in this time of tragedy," the company said in a statement on its Web site.
Benoit had maintained a home in metro Atlanta from the time he wrestled for the defunct World Championship Wrestling.

The WWE canceled its live "Monday Night RAW" card in Corpus Christi, Texas, and USA Network aired a three-hour tribute to Benoit in place of the scheduled wrestling telecast.

UPDATE VIA TMZ.COM:
Several Atlanta-based law enforcement sources have told TMZ Benoit may have strangled his wife on Saturday, then smothered his son in his bed a day later. Investigators refuse to officially comment, pending final confirmation by the coroner on the cause and time of the deaths.

One source told TMZ that Benoit was texting friends during Sunday's WWE "Vengeance" Pay-Per-View program -- possibly watching the show with his son, who may have been alive at the time.

According to sources, Benoit then hanged himself Monday in a weight room inside the family home.

Paris Leaves Jail Violating Another Law!

2007-06-26T07:53:00.000-07:00

AP PHOTO

I happened to wake up in the middle of the night to breaking news of Paris Hilton walking out of jail. As her parents watched from a waiting black Cadillac Escalade, Paris walked to freedom like she was working a runway. She looked beautiful without make-up, and held her head high. She should stand proud to have served the time. Yeah Yeah, many said she"should have gone to jail a long time ago," it was not enough time for her, and she was being treated differently than a 'normal' citizen. So, if you are one who thinks she was treated differently, you are right!!! She got more time in jail than a "non-Paris Hilton" would have recieved. That is a fact! HER SENTENCE WAS EXCESSIVE FOR THE TYPE OF PROBATION VIOLATION.

But, the best part of this was when Paris gets in the SUV to leave Lynwood, she DOES NOT WEAR HER SEATBELT as the car drives away!!!! HA HA HA! Gotta love this girl!!!

Quote of the Day

2007-06-25T16:18:00.000-07:00

Words of wisdom from Denise Richards: “I’m truly not one to give advice. I’m divorced and I stole my best friend’s husband.”

Good point. But Denise, you forgot my favorite. You've also thrown a laptop off a balcony and onto an old lady.

You may have seen this video of the ungrateful little girl who gets a new convertible lexus for her 'Sweet Sixteen' party on MTV. It's absolutely absurd that someone would act this way.

Mischa Barton Gets No Love

2007-06-25T10:36:00.000-07:00

Somwhere at a Lord & Taylor, Mischa Barton went out to shill some Keds on a Saturday afternoon. Apparently there were huge banners all over the mall, and the PA frequently announced her appearance. But barely a visitor came by to say hello. Mischa's glory days may be nearing their end - that's what happens when the O.C. kills you off.

Brilliance at ParisExposed.com

2007-06-25T08:26:00.000-07:00

Late last night the folks at ParisExposed.com tagged Paris Hilton's house for a little free advertising. OK, that might be genius marketing, but don't you think it's going to be pretty easy to find the mastermind behind this for the criminal charges that follow? And that had to take at least a few minutes - where is the security, or the neighborhood watch people? It just seems like it was a little too easy to go spray painting on celebrities' houses.

Playboy: The Movie

2007-06-25T05:30:00.001-07:00

Brian Grazer, who won an Oscar for 'A Beautiful Mind,' will be producing a feature length film chronicling Hugh Hefner's life. Hefner, 81, reportedly approved the project last week, after selling his life rights to Grazer a few years ago. Brett Ratner, director of the 'Rush Hour' movies, will be directing the Playboy movie,

"He broke all kinds of taboos, especially in sexuality. I want to show it all, from the First Amendment (guaranteeing free speech) struggles to his first orgy to the stroke in the 1980s that almost killed him.''

I'm not sure how profitable this film will be because I thought everyone just got Playboy for the articles...

James Blunt is Annoying

2007-06-25T05:10:00.000-07:00

James Blunt has always annoyed the shit out of me, but at least now I have some confirmation that I'm not the only one. At first it was his whiney voice in combination with that hair. But then he started changing women like Britney changes wigs and was quoted by ASL saying,

“To all those bastards who don’t like my music – you’re all adults, you can switch your radio off. I don’t have to listen to it, I’m the one who sings it…. and it’s continued to get me laid."

Well, today is a good day. After it was playing everytime I turned on the radio, James Blunt's song 'You're Beautiful' has been voted most irritating ballad of all time. Somehow I feel like this is going to be a good week.

Madonna the Real Estate Investor

2007-06-25T04:50:00.000-07:00

Madonna has added another London property to her collection, bringing the total to 6. She spent six million pounds on the 10-bedroom townhouse that adjoins the 8-bedroom home where she lives now with her family. Two nearby houses are occupied by staff, and two more houses are in central London, one of which is used as her Kabbalah headquarters.

A source said: "Madonna has been a very shrewd investor in property - this is her fourth in the area. She knows the prices are significantly lower than in Mayfair but that the area is coming up. She has said she'd like to buy the whole street. She was really keen to get her hands on this house because she knows once Paul Davies starts developing properties an area can skyrocket in price. She was calling him for eight months and her initial offers were rejected, but after a series of meetings he agreed to sell."

Madonna has had some issues in trying to renovate all these properties, though, saying "I can't believe how people don't like to work. The week starts at noon on Monday and ends at noon on Friday. I'm used to people in America working seven days a week." Easy there, Madge.

Signs You Shouldn't Get a Tattoo

2007-06-24T15:12:00.001-07:00

If you walk into a tattoo shop and your tattoo artist is smoking weed, maybe you should rethink your lifelong, body altering decision. Just ask Megan Fox, who stars in the new 'Transformers' movie.

"The guy was smoking weed while he tattooed me and he didn't do it correctly. Now it's nothing and I'm gonna get it removed. I was told he was a really amazing tattoo artist but he wasn't on his game that night. He was distracted."

The tatoo was reportedly supposed to be a tribal design, but it turned out to be a messy mark. I would think that's the beauty of getting a tribal tattoo. No one knows what it's really supposed to be anyway. Just add a butterfly or a rose with the word mom in there and that thing will look good as new.

A Mighty Heart, Not So Mighty

2007-06-24T14:45:00.000-07:00

Angelina Jolie's 'A Mighty Heart' did not fair well at the box office this weekend. In it's opening weekend, it was beat out by nine other films including 'Nancy Drew.' Among other unflattering things, Rotten Tomatoes said, "On so many levels, "A Mighty Heart" is almost as excruciating to write about as it is to watch." Maybe this is why Angelina does not want the press around.

Evan Almighty was also a box office bomb as it only pulled in $32 million after USA Today reported it took an estimated $125 million to make the film. I'm not sure who's laughing at those figures. Although, you have to expect modern day ark building to be a little pricey.

Foxy Brown Loses Weave In Fight

2007-06-24T12:52:00.000-07:00

Now this will make you laugh out loud. Foxy Brown broke up with her boyfriend at 5:30 a.m. this morning in Brooklyn because she found out he was a pimp. Having none of this, the ex called three of his ... working women ... to take care of her. The girls ripped out her weave, stole her handbag and $500, and pulled out her hearing aid! Whoa!

Foxy filed a complaint at the police station, and the police drove her around looking for the attackers. They found one, who was arrested.

This is way better than that Kristy Swanson showdown! Pulled out her hearing aid? How do you even do that - aren't those microscopic these days? You couldn't make this stuff up.

Prince William and Kate Middleton - Back On?

2007-06-24T09:52:00.000-07:00

Reports are claiming that earlier this month, Prince William and Kate Middleton attended a party at an army barracks together where they kissed, and that means they're back on. Kate is also invited to the memorial concert for Princess Diana on July 1.

Although Prince William's reps declined to comment ("William's private life is private"), Britain's News of the World is claiming that the two have been on several dates since their April break-up.

This may be jumping the gun, don't you think? Of course she's invited to the Concert for Diana - that doesn't scream we're dating again. And after dating for 5 years, I bet Kate and some of William's friends are friends themselves, so going to the same party is not unheard of. But, if true, I like it - they were good together.

50 Cent is Going to Court

2007-06-23T17:08:00.000-07:00

Rapper 50 Cent, aka Curtis Jackson, is headed to court over child support. Apparently, the $25,000 a month he is currently paying to Shaniqu Tompkins, the mother of his 10-year old son Marquise Jackson, is not enough. Tompkins attorney, Raoul Felder, claims 50 is "worth tens and tens of millions of dollars."

Actually Forbes put his estimated earnings at $33 million last year with his G-Unit record label, clothing line, and ring tones, among other entrepreneurial efforts. He has also sold more than 11 million albums and is dropping another one, "Curtis," this September.

The hearing has been taking place in Long Island, where 50 arrived in a armored SUV sporting a satellite dish. I'm sure this did not help his case. Also not helping his case is his stake in VitaminWater. Sources are saying 50 could see up to $100 million from its proposed sale to Coca-Cola.

50 has reportedly been a good dad and has always paid child support. This sounds like a case of someone trying to cash in. But who can blame her? It has got to be a struggle to survive on $25,000 a month. Come on girl.

That baby is adorable! But it's not Matt's. He just found a friend on the set of Surfer Dude. On the one hand I would be terrified to hand Matthew McConaughey my baby because of all the naked, drunken drum playing, but on the other, he seems like he has potential to be a great dad, persistent shirtless-ness aside. Unfortunately, I will never be faced with that dilemma.

First NBC, Now Barbara Walters: 'No Paris'

2007-06-23T12:34:00.000-07:00

It was reported that Meredith Vieira and the Today Show would get the first post-prison interview with Paris Hilton. However, after rumors surfaced that they paid $1 million for the exclusive, NBC pulled out, saying they never pay for interviews. With only three days to go until the big release date, who will ask Paris all the burning questions?

It won't be Barbara Walters. Apparently she's upset that she wasn't the first choice. Kathy Hilton had been speaking with Babs back and forth trying to get the interview on track, which ended with a call between Paris and Barbara where Paris "said she was sorry about all of the negotiations that had been outside of her control."

Then, Rick Hilton got in on the action, leaving a message with Barbara yesterday. I don't know what he said, but she must not have liked it because by the afternoon, Barbara's rep called to say there would be no interview.

So now it's up for grabs, but it will probably cost a pretty penny. The Hilton camp may want upwards of $1 milion. That's a lot to pay for things we mostly know already. I can tell you how the interview will go down: "Jail sucked. It was cold. The food was gross. The inmates were nice. I got a lot of mail. This made me a better person." There you go, no exclusive necessary.

UPDATE: Us Weekly says it's Larry King, for the free.

Britney's New Song Is "Dope"

2007-06-23T10:38:00.000-07:00

Rumor has it, Britney is going back on tour June 30 at L.A.'s Greek Theatre. "She'll be joining Cyndi Lauper, Erasure, Debbie Harry, The Dresden Dolls, The MisShapes with special guest Jeffree Star and host Margaret Cho live onstage for the "True Colors" concert tour," Spears's choreographer, Misha Gabriel, told PEOPLE.

She has been auditioning dancers who have been performing to her new song. One dancer said,

"It was dope. It reminded me of that one song you hear at 1:50 a.m., when they call last call at a club, and it's the hottest, nastiest song you've ever heard in your life and you've just got to put your drink down and dance to it. You've got no choice. You're body is insisting on it."

Deciphering this quote, I took a couple things from it. It's late (1:50 a.m.) and you've had too much too drink (you've just got to put your drink down). The combination of being tired and drunk would probably make Britney's new song sound good. I think all of her release parties should happen under these two conditions.

Somehow Steve-O Gets Another Show

2007-06-23T09:05:00.001-07:00

We live in an age where having absolutely no talent can make you a famous, rich television star. So it's no surprise that Steve-O, known for performing juvenile piercing tricks among other asinine exploits on 'Jackass,' will have his own show starting in October.

The show will have the ever paradoxical title, 'Dr. Steve-O.' The premise is for Steve-O to continue his antics on a group of men nominated by their wives, girlfriends, buddies, or themselves in order to "de-wussify" them. He will travel around to help these poor men through various stunts.

Nothing like drop kicking a cinder block or racking yourself to make you a real man. Good luck to all you Dr. Steve-O hopefuls.
