Actor James MacArthur, who is best known for his role as Danny “Danno” Williams in the original version of “Hawaii Five-O”, has passed away of natural causes at the Mayo Clinic in Jacksonville, Florida on Thursday (October 28).

The 72 year-old actor (December 8, 1937 – October 28, 2010) was the adopted son of Charles MacArthur and actress Helen Hayes. James is survived by his third wife, H.B. Duntz, and four children and six grandchildren.

R.I.P. James MacArthur.

Alexandria Tobias of Jacksonville, Florida, who was charged with shaking her 3-month-old baby boy to death after he interrupted her FarmVille Facebook game, has pleaded guilty to second-degree murder.

Tobias, 22, was charged in the death of her son, Dylan Lee Edmondson, in January. She entered her plea this past Wednesday.

She told investigators that she became angry after the baby cried while she was playing the online farm game, and she then shook him. She also added that she smoked a cigarette afterwards to calm herself and then shook her son again, at which time he may have hit his head.

Florida guidelines call for 25 to 50 years in prison, but a prosecutor said Tobias’ sentence may be shorter than that.

This might be the worst thing I’ve ever heard.

The special dinner was also attended by his ex-wife Denise Richards, who quickly left as soon as she realized Charlie had brought another woman to their table.

Charlie invited Capri to his hotel room. She accepted, but soon became “extremely afraid” of the actor, who started throwing chairs and turning over tables. Capri claims she locked herself inside the bathroom and called hotel security.

Capri has decided to Charlie was holding her against her will as he allegedly tried to get in the bathroom where she locked herself in and repeatedly punched the door. She claims she feared for her life and his determined to go all the way to Aspen and get Charlie punished for a violation of his probation related to the domestic violence incident with Brooke Mueller last Christmas Day.

“I’ve been a celebrity mom for eight years through this Hills” bull–,” she said, “but Audrina is going to the next level… She’s got it in her. She’s a sweetie.”

“One door closes, another one opens. I was proud of her,” she says. “Last night, she f––g kicked a– . . . It’s all show business, baby, the show must go on. I hope Brandy wins, Brandy and Maks.”

LeAnn Rimes, who has been in the spotlight recently due to a very public affair she had with actor Eddie Cibrian, was Shape Magazine‘s cover girl for the October issue. The singer, 28, was featured alongside the coverline “How Working Out Saved Me,” which outraged many readers who felt that she was being glorified for cheating on her husband, Dean Sheremet.

LeAnn Rimes Talks About Being A Cheater

In the interview, Rimes talked about how when she started cheating on her husband with Cibrian (who was also married at the time), working out with him kept her sane.

LeAnn Rimes’ Steamy Affair With Eddie Cibrian

Now that the magazine has hit the stands, readers have complained and Shape is having to speak up. Their editor, Valerie Latona, sent out this email to their loyal, disappointed readers:

Subject: To my dear Shape readers

You are all in good company (why I’m e-mailing you all together) as you all agree Shape has made a terrible mistake in putting LeAnn Rimes on the cover.

Please know that our putting her on the cover was not meant to put a husband-stealer on a pedestal-but to show (through her story) how we all are human. And this woman in particular found strength in exercise in what she said was her most difficult personal moment.

But it did not come across that way … And for that I’m terribly sorry.

I hope that we can do better the next time for those of you that will give us another chance.

Humbly,

Valerie

I completely agree with the disgruntled readers. I also picked up the magazine and thought it was a poor choice to put a woman who has wrecked her family life on the cover of a women’s magazine that’s supposed to be empowering.

Good job for owning up, Shape. Now, don’t do it again.

Former Presidents George W. Bush and his father George H.W. Bush will throw out the ceremonial first pitch at the World Series in Texas for Game 4 on Sunday night.

George W. was an owner and managing general partner of the Texas Rangers from 1989-1994.  He sold his remaining interest in the team in 1998.

Perhaps the most memorial first-pitch ever was delivered by Bush at Yankee Stadium during the 2001 World Series, right after the 9-11 attacks.  Under immense pressure, security, and fear, Bush delivered a perfect strike that seemed to uplift the country and remind everyone that everything was going to get better.

New Texas Rangers owner and MLB Hall-of-Famer Nolan Ryan will throw out the first pitch before Saturday’s Game 3 game between the Rangers and San Francisco Giants.  The Giants have won the first two games of the best of 7 World Series.

Who Won Season 8 Of Project Runway? The three finalists, Andy South, Gretchen Jones and Mondo Guerra, showed off their “collection” at the New York Fashion Week. Heidi Klum and judges, including guest judge Jessica Simpson, took some time to decide, but Gretchen was finally crowned the winner.

“It’s the most exciting thing that’s ever happened to me,” Gretchen exclaimed after beating fan favorite Mondo, whose collection judge Michael Kors described as too costume-like. The winner also had to defend her character, claiming she was not a “b*tch”, but a “strong woman” who wanted to win.

Guest judge Jessica promised that she and her sister Ashlee Simpson-Wentz would be honored to wear Gretchen’s designs in the future. Mondo knew how to accept defeat and Heidi believes there’s a place for both of them in the fashion world.

Nearly two years later, Rihanna says she is fully recovered from the domestic violence incident involving her ex-boyfriend, Chris Brown.

In the new Marie Claire UK, Rihanna opens up about how she found peace:

“I feel like I smile for real this time. The smiles come from inside, and it exudes in everything I do. People feel my energy is different. When I smile they can tell that it’s pure bliss and not just a cover up,”

In fact, Rihanna says that what happened has been a blessing in disguise for her:

“God has a crazy way of working, and sometimes when stuff happens you feel like, ‘What did I do to deserve this?’ Why was it backfiring on me?’”

“But I needed that wake-up call in my life. I needed a turning point, and that’s what God was giving to me.”

Rihanna has proven to be a strong role-model for females, since she was able to do what many women can’t — walk away from the one you love. But she insists that it’s best to never look back:

“All this terrible stuff they say to you, it breaks you down. [But] once you’re back on your feet — if you ever make it back on your feet — that’s the ultimate achievement.”

Rihanna’s full interview about the Chris Brown incident will run in the December issue of Marie Claire UK.
