Whitney Houston apparently had another horrible performance last night, this time in Australia and her audience was pissed - asking for refunds and whatnot. They need to pull her off the road, she clearly is in no shape to perform.

One of my mom's favorite show in the earlier days of TV was Date With the Angels -- starring Betty. She's originally from Oak Park, IL -- suburb 'bout ten miles east of here.

I can't imagine Betty making the complete ass of herself that Cloris did on DWTS, that's for sure. There's funny and then there's ridiculous.

What would you get if you put Charlie Sheen and Tiger Woods in the same rehab facility?

Two and a Half Men should shoot a couple of episodes without Charlie Sheen. Jon Cryer is made of funny and is more than capable of turning in a couple of terrific episodes without Charlie. It would be a chance to feature more of the actress who plays their mother too, who is also an amazingly funny lady.

Very sad: Body of missing actor Koenig found


CNN) -- Actor Andrew Koenig, missing since February 14, was found dead in Vancouver, British Colombia, Thursday, a source close to the family told CNN.

The body of the former "Growing Pains" star was found in a park, according to the source, who spoke to Koenig's father after Koenig was informed of the discovery.


The park in question was apparently Stanley Park which anyone who has ever been to Vancouver will know immediately. There is a new conference either very soon or already ongoing.

That is so sad! I didn't know Vancouver was even his home.

I wonder how he died? There was the last letter that he was despondent but killing yourself in Stanley Park just seems odd.

Hmmmm I wonder if he was attacked? There have been attacks on both women and men in the past.

To think, me and my daughter were in the park just last Thursday.

It wasn't his home Miz. He had gone there a couple weeks ago after selling all his furniture and writing what seems to be a goodbye letter to his parents. (self correction: he left for Vancouver almost 2 weeks ago but sent the letter to his parents just last week) He told his parents he was visiting someone in Vancouver, told his friends he was moving there to start over. He had suffered severe depression for years and stopped taking his medication about a year ago. I think his parents were sadly aware that this would probably be the outcome. My heart breaks for them, they have shown so much composure but clearly in a tremendous amount of pain.

Oh, to me it sounded like he fell in love with Vancouver in 1988 and moved here. I didn't see anything about him moving here 2 weeks ago. I did read he wrote them a letter 2 weeks ago. I guess I misunderstood; either way still sad.

I still think it's odd for someone to commit suicide in a park. However it was I hope it was quick.

I have a cousin who committed suicide in a children's park by hanging (in Vancouver as well actually) and I will never understand why he would do that. Luckily (sigh) it was a man on his way to work who found him and not a child. Someone told me once that perhaps it's a way to ensure being found quickly and an indication that a part of the person wanted to be rescued and survive.

I wonder if they heard last night. They were all set to be interviewed on Larry King, on after the next commercial, then suddenly got up and left without explaining. So sad.

His father was Chekov on Star Trek. I was reading that Andrew was clinically depressed and off his meds.

Rissa....I'm sorry for your loss.

Well I hope we find out he left this world both quickly and painlessly.

Cnn has the parents at the press conference but this old laptop is acting up so I am not going to risk opening another window to get the link. Basically his dad said that ten of his son's friends and himself decided to do another sweep of Stanley park today and one of them found the body. The dad was called via cellphone and he then went over to the body as well and confirmed it was his son. He said his son took his own life. I can't imagine, just heartbreaking.

PS They left Larry King because they were told the interview would be the last half hour of the show then King kept pushing them back to discuss the killer whale story. There was less then 5 minutes left to the show so the parent just asked the cameras to turn off and leave. They said today they felt it was disrespectfull. I don't blame them, as sad as the whale killer story was, it doesn't compare to the immediate need to publicity in an attempt to find a living person.

ETA: Thank you Miz. It was ten years ago and a cousin I was not in contact with. My feelings about him (in addition to sad for what he went through obviously) is a bit of anger that his body could have been found by children. How scarring that would have been. I am sure he wasn't thinking about that.

So very sad that he was never able to find true contentment and happiness in his life. He brought laughs to so many in Growing Pains. Rest In Peace, Andrew.

On a lighter note, what do you guys think of Kelly Ripa's new tattoo? I am an admirer of good tattoos (although I would never get one), but I think Kelly's new tattoo is horrible. The size, the color, the placement, everything.
