UFC Champ Evan Tanner Found Dead

Sassy Smith — Tue, 09 Sep 2008 05:47:00 GMT

UFC middleweight champ, Evan Tanner went missing a few days ago in the California desert and sadly, the 37-year-old was found dead.

Tanner had sent a text message to a friend on Friday, saying he was out of water and requested help. A search ensued but ended abruptly yesterday when a body was found. It has been identified as that of Tanner's but the cause of death has not yet been determined.

Tanner had blogged recently, saying in part, "treasure hunting and lost gold, and my own insatiable appetite for adventure and exploration. I plan on going so deep into the desert, that any failure of my equipment could cost me my life." And unfortunately, it did.

Although Evan was single and had no children, he wrote that his adventures and challenges would all be things he would tell his future children and grandchildren.

Rest in peace.

'40 Year Old Virgin' Actor Stabbing - UPDATE!!!!

Sassy Smith — Tue, 12 Aug 2008 20:52:00 GMT

Actor Shelley Malil of '40 Year Old Virgin' fame, was arrested Monday after allegedly stabbing his ex-girlfriend, Kendra Beebe, at her home, in front of her two children. Malil and Beebe and the kids were together just the day before, heading to the beach for some family time.

Malil is now being held in jail and bond has been set at $2 million. Reportedly, Malil's family were trying to convince him to turn himself in to police but he was arrested in Oceanside, CA after he had boarded a train going from San Diego to Los Angeles.

The stabbing took place sometime shortly before 9 p.m. in San Marcos, CA. Malil arrived at Beebe's home and found her in her backyard with another man. He then grabbed a knife and stabbed Kendra several times and then chased her into her house. The unidentified male in the backyard, tried to stop the attack and he was also stabbed in the hand.

A neighbor of Beebe's said she had heard screaming and that Shelley stabbed his ex at least 20 times. The neighbor added that the children were present during the attack. Another neighbor, Mrs. Lee, said that she saw Malil flee the scene and found Beebee severly injured and helped apply pressure to the wounds to stop the blood flow.

Mrs. Lee said, "Her chin was almost entirely cut off. She had a huge gash in her arm that looked like a really deep wound that was bleedly profusely. She asked me to hold her and I could feel a lot of gashes in her back as well."

Kendra Beebe has been listed in critical condition but is expected to survive. What a horrible thing for her poor children to witness, I can't even imagine the terror they felt.

We hope that Ms. Beebe makes a full recovery!

Photos: '40 Year Old Virgin' Actor Shelley Malil Arrested For Stabbing

Shelley Malil, the actor who played Haziz in "The 40 Year Old Virgin" with Steve Carell, was arrested on Monday for allegedly stabbing his ex-girlfriend in a vicious knife attack.

Malil reportedly went to his ex's home in San Diego on Sunday evening and found her in the backyard with another man. He then chased her inside and outside the house, stabbing her as many as 20 times. Because that's what normal, rational people do when their ex's decide to move on with their lives.

Even more disturbing, the victim's two young children were in the home at the time and witnessed their mother being attacked.

Malil was arrested at an Amtrak station in San Diego. The victim, who has not been identified, is said to be in critical condition but is expected to survive.

Guess Malil is pretty cranky since he hasn't had much of a career after "Virgin." That is, unless you count his role in two episodes of "Nick Cannon Presents: Short Circuitz." Guess now he'll have to settle for a prison production of Hairspray.

(See more photos of Malil on his IMDB page here.)

Two daddy favorites here at FameCrawler are starring in the upcoming movie Wolverine. Hugh Jackman and Liev Schrieber will appear as Wolverine and Sabertooth, respectively.

Hugh Jackman showed up last weekend at Comic-Con in San Diego and showed the fans a clip of the just finished movie. This is that clip. It was recorded from the session that Jackman addressed and the quality isn't perfect, but it still looks badass. Enjoy!

Katie Holmes Shipped Off to Crazy Camp

Whit Honea — Wed, 30 Apr 2008 20:52:00 GMT

Star magazine is reporting that Tom Cruise banished his wife to a Scientology "boot camp." Seriously. Banishment! She was sent there by Cruise due to her radical desire to think for herself. Who the hell does she think she is?

Katie had big plans to go to NYC and star on Broadway and Tommy was not happy about it. Hence, a trip to Hemet, CA, which is just north of the greater San Diego area, for a little cleansing and/or brainwashing. Isn't love magical?

What is it about Oprah that takes the crazy up a level in Tom? He must be channeling all of his repressed couch-jumping urges into his foil hat.

I Thought You Were Classy San Diego

Heath Ledger had only been dead a couple of hours before the Best Buy in Mission Valley/San Diego, and I assume many other stores, were trying to turn a buck of his passing. Is this a thoughtful tribute or capitalism at its worst?
