Lea Michele has made a pilgrimage to the hotel where her boyfriend, Cory Monteith, died.
The devastated Glee star made her first public outing since 31-year-old Cory was found dead from a heroin and alcohol overdose last weekend to the Vancouver hotel where he passed away. According to an eyewitness, Lea, 26, was "out of her mind" with grief when she stopped at a makeshift memorial to the star outside the Fairmont Pacific Rim Hotel.
Rik Feydik, who claims to be a friend of Cory's, spotted Lea about an hour after the family left the body at the hospital. "Lea was in the back seat of one of the vehicles sitting between two bodyguards. She was wearing her signature huge black shades. Lea never got out of the vehicle but she stayed parked in in front of the memorial for five to seven minutes," Feydik said. When Rik approached the cars they raced off. "They were driving crazy," he added.

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Television, Drugs, Obituaries,
Cory Monteith has died at the age of 31.
The Glee actor was found dead in his hotel room in Vancouver, Canada yesterday and - while there are no implications of foul play - no cause of death has been confirmed yet. "We are so saddened to confirm that the reports on the death of Cory Monteith are accurate. We are in shock and mourning this tragic loss," said Cory's publicist Melissa Kates.
The star - who played Finn Hudson in the musical drama - was discovered in his room by hotel staff after he failed to check out at the designated time. In a statement, Acting Chief Doug LePard commented, "Shortly after noon today, the Vancouver Police received a call from the BC Ambulance Service regarding a sudden death in a room on the 21st floor of the Fairmont Pacific Rim Hotel at 1038 Canada Place in downtown Vancouver. The deceased has been identified as 31-year-old actor Cory Monteith, who achieved great fame on the popular TV series Glee."
Meanwhile 20th Century Fox and Fox Broadcasting Company - the executive producers for the show - paid tribute to an "exceptional talent." They added, "We are deeply saddened by this tragic news. Cory was an exceptional talent and an even more exceptional person. He was a true joy to work with and we will all miss him tremendously. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family and loved ones."

Idiot drives motorcycle at 185 MPH down the freeway (video)
Posted by Andrey Malskiy Categories: Transportation, Videos,
We realize that there ar eplenty of videos on YouTube that leave you asking “How stupid do you have to be?” This applies to the video above, which comes from a 25-year-old Canadian. This gentleman has had his license suspended, and has an unhealthy need for speed.
The video shows him racing a Yamaha R1 down the Trans-Canadian Highway at a staggering speed of 185 miles per hour. On top of his idiocy, he also has 25 traffic infractions to his name, which leaves police (and the rest of us) asking why he isn’t behind bars.
If you need a quick adrenaline rush to get through your day, don't do this. Instead, we suggest two cups of coffee and a Red Bull. Then, hit play on the video and set it to full screen, and blast your speakers to get a good sensation of how it might feel flying down the Canadian Highway.

Still No Sign of Missing Growing Pains Star
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Television,
UPDATE: You can read a comment from former co-star Kirk Cameron here.
The family of Andrew Koenig, a former actor on the comedy Growing Pains, is asking for the public’s help. The 41-year-old has not been seen since February 14 in Vancouver, and his loved ones are growing increasingly concerned.
Koenig, who is best known for playing Mike Seaver’s friend Richard “Boner” Stabone, was due to board a flight back to the U.S. from Canada on February 16. Unfortunately, he never made that flight and hasn’t made any contact with those who know him.
His father, Star Trek‘s Walter Koenig (Pavel Chekov), says a letter he received on February 16 - the last day a text was sent to Andrew’s cell phone - has him worried his son may be despondent. “I think it’s something that has been a part of his makeup for a long time. There’s no single trauma. There’s no episode. There’s nothing of that nature,” Koening wrote on his website about the disappearance.
If you have any possible information about Andrew’s whereabouts, you are asked to call the Vancouver Police Department at 604-717-2534.

Fedorov back in North America for swan song
Posted by Adrien Griffin Categories: Athletes, Editorial, NHL, Olympics,
The men’s hockey teams are through with their initial practices and are ready for the most anticipated event at the Olympic Winter Games in Vancouver. With 12 nations competing in the tournament, all of them have some sort of experience on the smaller “North American” ice surface. While Canada (and by extension, the US) have a distinct advantage, there are many international players who are more accustomed to the small rink size than others. One of those is certainly a legend on the Russian team, former NHLer Sergei Fedorov.

Bilodeau captures first Canadian home-gold
Posted by Adrien Griffin Categories: Athletes, Editorial, Olympics,
Canada has finally got that monkey off its back. On Sunday night in Vancouver, Quebec-born Alexandre Bilodeau won the gold medal in men’s moguls at the Olympic Games. His historic achievement marks the first time a Canadian athlete has won a gold medal on Canadian soil. When Canada hosted the 1976 Winter Olympics in Montreal, they finished with five silvers and six bronze. In Calgary in 1988, Canada won two silvers and three bronze. The home-gold medal had eluded Canadians for over three decades, but the long wait is officially over.

Hockey Canada calls Summit to discuss player safety
Posted by Adrien Griffin Categories: Editorial, NHL,
Hockey Canada is doing it again. They announced earlier this week their intention to bring together a number of influential hockey voices for a second Open Ice Summit, likely to take place in August, to discuss a number of issues related to the ice game, most of which revolve around player safety. The shocking number of major on-ice injuries in minor hockey games, including head shots that have ended players’ careers, are on the agenda to evaluate just how much vicious plays are a part of the game, and if not, how to eliminate them from it.
