Smashing Pumpkins frontman Billy Corgan runs to Simpson’s defense when Mayer told Playboy that Simpson was a “sexual napalm.” Corgan and Simpson are rumored to be dating.

Corgan said, “As far as it pertains to her. I think for any person who has celebrity to sort of drop rocks at somebody else’s feet like that — there’s things you should really just keep your mouths shut on. There’s things that should just be left alone. Rather than take a year off or change his musical direction … some part of it is irritating his soul to the point where he’s trying to blow it up. Certainly a talented guy, but empathetically, standing on the sidelines, it’s hard to watch someone literally burn their career to the ground — speaking as somebody who’s done it.”

Simpson recently went on David Letterman and opened up about how she feels about what Mayer said about her. She said, “…normally you would think that somebody you care about would keep those intimate details to himself…I mean, it was definitely a compliment, in a way, but I don’t really want people to know that about me. That’s, you know, I’m like the good girl and then that happens.”

The first explosion occurred near the RA Bazaar, in an area where several army and security agencies have facilities.  The second happened near the Saddar roundabout. The suicide bombers targeted military convoys, approaching on foot and detonating their explosives 15 to 20 seconds apart, Punjab Law Minister Rana Sana Ullah said on local television.

There have been five blasts this week alone, including a car bomb suicide attack on a police intelligence building in Lahore on Monday that killed 13 people, and a shooting and bombing at a U.S.-based aid agency that killed 6 in the northwest. The attacks this week seemed a direct challenge to the authority and effectiveness of the military, which has sought to move against militants in recent months in Pakistan’s mountainous and often lawless areas near the border with Afghanistan.

Kristen Stewart

Stewart filmed The Runaways with Dakota Fanning. The two got close and are now good buddies.

On Wednesday, during a press day for their new movie, Stewart said, “Working this closely with someone, you can’t help but really become bonded with them and it really helps when you actually like them and can become really good friends. I haven’t really done a lot of movies with people close to my own age to have a good friend like that,” she said. “So I was excited, and I couldn’t have asked for a better person to do it with.”

The Runaways is a movie about the ’70s all-girl’s band in which Stewart plays rocker Joan Jett and Fanning portrayed singer Cherie Currie. Stewart and Fanning had a kissing scene in the movie, liplock and all. So now maybe you wanna watch it.

Judy Haim, who was interviewed by Access Hollywood, adds that the autopsy also found an enlarged heart as well as the water in the lungs.

L.A. Coroner Chief Craig Harvey confirms that the autopsy was indeed completed at already on Thursday morning, but he said, “There is no final cause of death at this time. The final cause of death has been deferred pending additional tests that have been ordered.”

Prior to his death, the actor was said to have complained of flu-like symptoms and had a high fever.

Haim’s former fiancée Tiffany Shepis, also told People the actor had long suffered from heart problems. “Every time he would go to a doctor they’d tell him he had really bad arrhythmia, probably due to clogged arteries. They all said he should have it taken care of. But, being from Canada, his insurance was there, so he never went and got it done,” she said.

But until the coroner has officially released the results, no one is really sure why Corey Haim died.

The death of Merlin Olsen brought some of his close friends to tears. One of them, former teammate Rosey Grier, cried when he heard the news.

The NFL legend and actor died from complications related to malignant mesothelioma–this condition erodes the protective lining around the lungs. He was diagnosed last year.

Grier said he was planning to visit his friend in the hospital on Wednesday but Olsen’s brother told him that it would probably be better if he visited on Friday.

Grier recalled his last phone conversation with Olsen. “So Phil put the phone to his ear and we were able to talk. He sounded sick but the thing was, he still sounded like Merlin.”

In 1982, Olsen was elected to the Pro Football Hall of Fame and was selected to play in 14 consecutive Pro Bowls, a string that began his rookie season of 1962.

“I loved that man. I really loved him,” Grier said as he remembers his friend.

Called the Red Shirts because of their hallmark garb, leaders of the United Front for Democracy Against Dictatorship have vowed to keep their “million-man march” protest nonviolent. Demonstrators started meeting around the country Friday and plan to converge on the Thai capital on Sunday.

Two were people killed, more than 120 were injured, and buses were burned on major thoroughfares after the group’s last major protest in Bangkok last April deteriorated into rioting. The army was called in to quash the unrest.

The Red Shirts include followers of former Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra and other people who oppose the 2006 military coup that toppled him. They believe Abhisit came to power illegitimately with the connivance of the military and other parts of the traditional Thai ruling class who were fearful of Thaksin’s popularity while in office in 2001-2006.
