LeRoi Moore, a founding member of the Dave Matthews Band, has died,? on Tuesday (19Aug08). Moore passed away at the age of 46, at the Hollywood Presbyterian Medical Center following complications from injuries he suffered in an ATV accident in June (08). He suffered a punctured lung and broken ribs at the time. Moore went back into the hospital last month due to complications. Moore died in Los Angeles Tuesday afternoon, after taking a turn for the worse.
Dave Matthews and the rest of the band performed at the Staple center in Los Angeles on Tuesday night, just hours after Moore’s death. They paid an emotional tribute to the star following their first song, reports People.com.
Matthews told the crowd, “We all had some bad news today. Our good friend LeRoi Moore passed on and gave his ghost up today and we will miss him forever.” Fans shouted Moore’s name in tribute as the band resumed playing. Two songs later, Matthews once again made reference to Moore, saying: “It’s easier to leave than be left.”
Rest in peace LeRoi!

Wearing matching blue outfits, Jennifer Love Hewitt and fiance Ross McCall were spotted out on a romantic stroll through their Los Angeles neighborhood on Tuesday (August 19).
Just recently, the “Ghost Whisperer” actress told press that she’s looking forward to her 30th birthday this February, saying: “I’m so excited! It’s my dream age. I don’t know why but, literally since my 12th birthday I’ve wanted to turn 30.”
When asked what she might change if she could turn back the hands of time, the Ghost Whisperer star gave a surprising response. She explained that she would have spent more of her younger years showing off her figure.
Hewitt tells: “I wish I had been nude from the time I was 12 until I was 28. I looked great. I so wish I had listened to my mom and grandma when I was 18 and would complain about some little tiny bump or feeling bloated. I used to scoff and say, ‘No, I feel fat today!’ Now the joke’s on me.”

They may be in their homeland of Australia on business but that’s not stopping Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban from having some fun as well.
The “Moulin Rouge” actress and her “Better Life” singer stud were spotted along with Keith’s mother doing some shopping at Herringbone in Woolahara, Sydney today (August 20).
And it sounds like Kidman may have given her country’s Olympic sailing team the winning edge to help them bring home the gold medal at this year’s games.
Team captain Malcolm Page told press about the call he received from Nicole that gave his team the boost they needed. “I was getting breakfast and thought, ‘Ah, I just don’t want to talk to her today,’ so I bumped it. Then two seconds later there was a message from Nicole wishing us good luck.”
Page also explained that his team had named their boat The Australian after Kidman’s upcoming movie. “I ended up returning her call. She was very happy. She was very surprised that we do have a tradition of naming our boats after her movies and she’s just really stoked to be part of a team.”

With so much headway having been made in Britney Spears and Kevin Federline’s custody case, you’d think they’d leave well enough alone. But you’d be wrong.
The “Gimme More” singer was spotted heading over to celebrity lawyer Barry Tarlow’s office with her mother Lynne yesterday (August 19) to further discuss the finer details of the arrangement for Sean Preston and Jayden James.
Another snag in the whole process has been the mounting legal fees incurred by the “Piece of Me” songstress both by her and on the behalf of her ex-husband K-Fed. All in all, the entire custody battle could cost as much as $700,000 or more.
With all of this drama looming overhead, it’s no wonder Brit decided to head out to Sunset Plaza in West Hollywood with her bodyguard for some retail therapy following the meeting with her lawyer.

The Wolverine situation is something that movie journalists have been talking about since February. You probably didn’t notice because most of us didn’t write about it. And even now, I’m not exactly sure what I could or should say. So I’ll just relay the RUMOR that Jeff Wells is reporting on Hollywood Elsewhere.
The basic gist is that Fox co-chairman and CEO Tom Rothman has been going around director Gavin Hood in an attempt to make X-Men Origins: Wolverine a more kid-friendly film. Wells’ source claims that when Hood left a set which was being prepped for a “dark, dinghy and somber” look, only to return to something much brighter and totally different than he had planned.
I’m not sure this story is true, but it wouldn’t surprise me considering all the behind-the-scenes bickering that has been rumored. For instance, in March, Dark Horizons reported that Richard Donner had been put on set as “some sort of directing consultant”. Fox later downplayed the rumor claiming that Donner also was on set for the X-Men films. I’m sure this rumor will also be denied.
After Knowing, Alex Proyas will begin adapting Robert Heinlein’s novela The Unpleasant Profession of Jonathan Hoag. The Dark City director will write and helm the $40 - $50 million psychological thriller for Phoenix Pictures. Heinlein is probably best known to today’s moviegoers as the author of Starship Troopers. Originally published in a 1942 edition of Unknown Worlds magazine, the story was later republished in Heinlein’s 1959 collection of short stories. Proyas supposedly read the story as a kid.
When Jonathan Hoag realizes that he has no memory of his daytime activities. After discovering a red-brown substance, possibly dried blood, under his fingernails, Hoag decides to hire a private investigator to follow him in order to find out what he does during the day. The story involves a few great sci-fi concepts and offers a potential return to form for Proyas. The tentative plan is to begin production on Hoag in 2010, after Proyas tackles Dracula Year One for Universal.
When it comes to romance rumors with Orlando Bloom, Josh Hartnett and Javier Bardem, Penélope Cruz keeps her sensuous lips sealed.
“I don’t talk about that,” the Spanish actress, 33, said, “I don’t read most of what is written about me.”
Even so, Cruz specifically denied dating Bardem – and brushed off any talk of Bloom or Hartnett, to whom she was linked in May.
As for Bardem, “It’s not true,” she said. “He’s a friend and the best actor in the world.”

I’m loving these trouser denims just as much as I used to love those skinnies. Penelope could have chosen a better top, though. Nothing like ugly printed chiffon to date you back a decade.
