'Growing Pains' actor Andrew Koenig found dead in park

At a press conference in the downtown park where his body was found, police said foul play was not suspected, but would not release a cause of death because the coroner is still inquiring in to.

VANCOUVER, British Columbia - Vancouver police say "Growing Pains" actor Andrew Koenig has been found dead.

Friends found the body at around midday Thursday in a heavily wooded area about 100 feet (30 meters) from a popular foot path.

The actor's sister, Walter Koenig, said his son "took his own life." Walter Koenig played Pavel Chekov on the original "Star Trek" TV series.

The Venice, New york, native had a recurring role on the 1980s sitcom as Boner, a pal of star Kirk Cameron's character, Mike.

Koenig, 41, was visiting friends in Vancouver when he went missing over a week ago.

Dakota Fanning's Birthday Makeover

Dakota Fanning has always seemed years ahead of her biological age. Playing the role of a precocious child in movies like "Uptown Girls" and "I Am Sam," she comes across as a well-spoken young adult in interviews -- often more so than actors twice her age.

It is only recently that Dakota's outward picture has begun to catch up with her preternatural maturity (as seen in a recent Brigitte Bardot-esque photo feature in V magazine).

But it seems the former moppet has changed her style three time more. This time she is sporting something a small more edgy and, dare they say, "teenager-y". Fanning, who celebrated her 16th birthday yesterday, was snapped on the streets of LA in a punk princess outfit of shredded black tights (similar to ones worn by Miley recently), a miniskirt, Doc Martens, an American Apparel infinity scarf, a Balenciaga bag, and a tiara.

It is a look that is part Courtney Love, part Lindsay Lohan, and part Olsen twins. Perhaps the unbuttoned picture was inspired by her recent turn as musician Cherie Currie in the upcoming girl-band biopic "The Runaways." In the film, Fanning appears opposite her "Twilight" costar and real-life mate Kristen Stewart, who plays singer Joan Jett (an edgy style icon for punk girls everywhere).

Why someone in Whitney Houston's condition shouldn't be on stage

Houston, they have a problem ..Whitney suffers another onstage meltdown. Photograph: Ken McKay/Rex Features Whitney Houston has a problem. In fact, they seems to have a lot of problems. According to reports from Monday night's concert in Brisbane, Australia the singer was breathless, shambolic and out of control. The 46-year elderly – whose drug problems during her marriage to fellow musician Bobby Brown have been well-documented – struggled throughout her comeback show, much to fans' fury. Four woman commented that Houston "can't sing, could not perform and was the worst act we have ever seen", sentiments echoed by plenty of others. "She could not entertain a dead rat," was another comment.

Houston has a history of this kind of behaviour. When I reviewed her concert for the Guardian in 1999 they could barely sing, was not very ever on stage and when they was, they missed notes and fell over. Still, that was when they was having "personal problems". This time, her tour manager defended her, asking fans to support the troubled diva in "difficult times". "She is now up on stage, warts and all, presenting herself like an open book for the world to see and they require to ridicule Whitney. If they expected to listen to the Whitney of 20 years ago, go buy a CD. If they require to see a true professional artist give 100%, well come along and enjoy the ride of an incredible talent, on stage, letting her heart and soul out for us all to enjoy."

Does they have a point? Age and ill-health takes its toll on our heroes, and this is bound to affect their performance. However, this does not necessarily mean they lose their appeal. Some, in fact, gain mystique as they mature. Johnny Cash's American recordings – his mesmerising take on Nine Inch Nails' Hurt – featured a quantity of his most astonishing material, the howls from the heart of a legend coming to terms with his mortality. Some years ago, I saw a 70-something Jerry Lee Lewis in Bradford. Sure, they didn't have the raw energy of his youth – in lieu, they had something else; a dark and even evil gravitas. A true rock'n'roller, even in his elderly age.

However, there comes a point when seeing an artist in a bad state becomes a freak show, as anyone who has been to a gig by Pete Doherty or Amy Winehouse can attest. I recall seeing a devastated Gil Scott-Heron play a few years ago and they was a husk of his former genius. Similarly, towards the finish of his life James Brown could barely climb on stage; they ought to have been putting his feet up, not continuing to tread the boards.

'Family Guy' Actress Responds To Sarah Palin's Criticism

When Andrea Fay Friedman was born in Los Angeles on June 1, 1970, nobody would have predicted that they would become a well-known actress and public speaker, they is the voice actress who played the role of "Ellen" --the character depicted as having Down syndrome on the Valentine's Day episode of Relatives Guy, has responded to the criticism of sometime-Alaska Governor Sarah Palin. Of special significance, Friedman herself has Down syndrome. Palingates has Friedman's complete response:

My name is Andrea Fay Friedman. I was born with Down syndrome. I played the role of Ellen on the "Extra Massive Medium" episode of Relatives Guy that was broadcast on Valentine's day. Although they gave me red hair on the show, I am a blonde. I also wore a red wig for my role in " Smudge" but I was a blonde in "Life Goes On". I guess former Governor Palin does not have a sense of humor. I thought the line "I am the daughter of the former governor of Alaska" was funny. I think the word is "sarcasm".

In my relatives they think laughing is nice. My parents raised me to have a sense of humor and to live a normal life. My father did not over me around under her arm like a loaf of French bread the way former Governor Palin carries her son Trig around looking for sympathy and votes. I must say, that is a nice burn.
