Samwise Gamgee headed to court
DES MOINES, Iowa -- The widow of a photographer killed in a helicopter crash while filming "The Final Season" is suing actor Sean Astin, the movie's producers and the pilot, among others. Kathryn Schlotzhauer alleges that the crash on June 30 in eastern Iowa could have been avoided if producers and others involved in the film scouted the scene and noted the power lines that brought the helicopter down.
Elvis' Teddy Bear Dies
LONDON -- Mabel, the teddy bear once cuddled by Elvis, is all chewed up. A Doberman pinscher named Barney ripped Mabel's head off at the Wookey Hole Caves children's museum near Wells, England. Barney was supposed to be guarding hundreds of rare bears, but the museum's general manager Daniel Medley said "he just went berserk." Barney chewed up all the bears, worth nearly $1 million. Medley has spoken to the man who donated Elvis' bear to the collection and he said the man is "not very pleased at all." The bear was made in 1909 by the German manufacturer Steiff. A security guard at the museum, Greg West, said he spent several minutes chasing Barney before wrestling the dog to the ground.
Marie Osmond Didn't Attempt Suicide
SALT LAKE CITY -- Marie Osmond was hospitalized for a bad reaction to medication, a spokeswoman said Wednesday, denying reports that the singer had attempted suicide. "She basically had an adverse reaction to some medication she was taking and she blacked out," spokeswoman Amy Hawkes said.
Jenny Dumps Dallas
Debbie does Dallas, but J-Lo doesn't. Jennifer Lopez has dropped out of the big-screen take on the '70s T-V classic, in which she was going to play "Sue Ellen" opposite John Travolta's "J-R Ewing." Her rep has given no reason for the sudden withdrawal, which will no doubt heat up those semi-annual pregnancy rumors.
