The grandson of one of cinema’s most legendary actresses was found dead in his New York City apartment which police are ruling as a suicide. Andrew Embiricos, only 25 years old, was discovered by his friend Aaron Edwards.
Andrew is the child of Rita Hayworth’s daughter, Princess Yasmin Aga Khan, 61, who also lives in New York City.
For a while, it seemed as if we were going to get through The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills season 4 in the awkward state in which the season began: Some awkward acknowledgement of Russell Armstrong‘s suicide before jumping into a season he’s been cut clear out of. We saw plenty of footage of his wife Taylor Armstrong discussing their marital problems (though not the abuse she kept hidden until his death). Then last night’s episode changed the formula and showed us Russell—but a distorted and strangely cheery version of the character. More »

Today, in things too sad to joke about: reports have been coming in that Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Russell Armstrong beat his wife Taylor very badly before taking his own life on August 14. More »
Peter Fonda “Finds” A Dead Body – We’re not insinuating anything here, except have you guys seen Boondock Saints 2: All Saints Day? Just sayin’, most people just don’t “find” dead bodies. (TMZ)
Leave T.I. Alone! - The rapper has been sentenced to 11 months in jail after being pulled over with his wife while holding drugs in the car. Which yeah, sucks, but isn’t as bad as bringing guns to a BET awards show, and plus he just saved that guy in Atlanta from killing himself! Obviously, he is getting better, so give T.I. a break!

Midterms suck. The holidays are stressful. But if you’re feeling lost and overwhelmed, it’s easy to lose perspective and think that these feelings are going to last forever. They’re not. If you’re getting to a point where suicide seems like a viable solution to not telling your parents that you are flunking Statistics 101, our advice would be to see your school’s counselor.
At the very least, Reddit.com provides its users with a support platform: a subforum called r/suicidewatch. But with all the Internet trolls that lurk around sites like Reddit and 4Chan, egging on potentially suicidal kids, do these forums hurt more than they help? More »
There’s sad news coming from Rutgers today, where a freshman jumped to his death last night after his roommate filmed him having sex with a guy in their room and put the video on the internet.
It’s terrible that Tyler Clementi chose to respond to the video by jumping off the George Washington Bridge rather than report his roommate for a gross violation of privacy. College kids may generally have a more open approach to online privacy than older people, but sharing a friend (or foe’s) personal information online just simply isn’t ok. More »
Today at 10:45pm we received a repost that Britney Spears may have tried to commit suicide!
As far as we know, Lynn (who is still in town) headed down to Brit’s house and so did Allie. Sam was on the scene and X17 reports of a possible standoff between Britney and Sam prior to the attempt.
X17 is on the scene, reporting that it is surrounded by police cars and a helicopter. The entire gated community is currently blocked and we… More »
