Michelle Williams has reached out to Lea Michele.
Lea, 26, has been struggling to cope since her boyfriend Cory Monteith, 31, died from a heroin and alcohol overdose last month and Michelle - whose former boyfriend, Heath Ledger, died of an overdose in 2008 - has reached out to her. "Michelle is probably the only person who knows what Lea is going through. Lea was deeply touched by the gesture. Michelle made a huge impact and Lea has been feeling better. There are a lot of parallels between Heath and Cory so Michelle can really understand Lea," a source said.

Darren Criss Opens Up About Cory Monteith’s Death
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Television, Obituaries,
Darren Criss says coping with Cory Monteith's death has been difficult.
The Glee cast have started filming the fifth season of the show, just two weeks after leading man Cory, 31, died from a heroin and alcohol overdose and Darren admitted they are all going through a tough time. "Obviously it's been a very rough time. When you start picking up the pieces after something as tragic as this, and it's funny that you say that, you don't know how to breach it, we're picking up the pieces now and there's two things you gotta remember. One, is he was a really funny guy and he loved life. He always took care of his friends and wanted his friends to be happy. So it's only right that we, you know, try and start to smile again and laugh again. It's something that he would have wanted," he told talk show host Conan O'Brien.
While Darren was shocked by Cory's death, he is grateful he got to know the actor during their time on the show together. "He was a joy. Wonderful guy. Personal note, he will be severely missed, but I'm just so happy that a guy like him got to touch as many lives as he did while we were lucky enough to have him," he said.

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.

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."

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."

Charlie Sheen is paying for the funeral of the paparazzi photographer who died while following Justin Bieber's car.
The Anger Management star has paid a generous $12,000 towards 29-year-old Chris Guerra's burial costs after hearing through a photographer pal that his family was trying to raise funds for the service, due to be held on Friday.
"A tragic incident like this erases the line between the photographer and the subject. It's an unforgiving moment that begs us all to be human and work as one to prevent this in the future. As parents, we are all not supposed to bury our children. My deepest condolences to the families involved," the 47-year-old actor told TMZ.
The kind-hearted star was shocked by the news that Chris was struck by a car on New Year's Day while crossing a busy road in Los Angeles after trying to capture a shot of Canadian singer Justin's white Ferrari. Justin was not in the vehicle at the time, having lent it to two friends.
Johnny Lewis’ Death Ruled Accidental

The official autopsy report for Sons of Anarchy actor Johnny Lewis has been released.
The 28 year-old was found dead in the driveway of his Los Feliz residence in September, along with his 81 year-old landlady who is believed to have been killed by Lewis. Due to lack of evidence that he jumped or was pushed, the report states that his fall from the roof of his home was an accident - not a suicide, as what was previously thought.
"He appears to have jumped from an elevated terrace to the driveway while attempting to flee the scene. During the approximately 15-foot drop he apparently lost his balance or struck an object. This caused him to land so his head impacted the concrete driveway," wrote investigator Jerry McKibben.
The autopsy also stated that there were no drugs found in his system at the time of death.
Michael Jackson’s Burial Delayed by Money Row
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Music, Obituaries,
Michael Jackson's burial was delayed for three months in a row over money. The "Thriller" singer died in June 2009 from acute Propofol intoxication but wasn't laid to rest in the Great Mausoleum at Forest Lawn Cemetery in Los Angeles until September 3 because his sister Janet Jackson paid a $40,000 deposit to secure the spot but wouldn't let the burial go ahead until she was paid back.
In his new book Untouchable: The Strange Life and Tragic Death of Michael Jackson, author Randall Sullivan writes, "Michael's burial had been delayed by wrangling between Janet and the estate, on the one hand and Janet and her family on the other hand. As the only living Jackson with money of her own, Janet had put up the $40,000 deposit at Forest Lawn to secure the burial spot for Michael in the marble Sanctuary of the Ascension. She had refused to let the funeral take place until the money was repaid."

Katy Perry ‘Devastated’ About Ex’s Death
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Movies, Music, Television, Break-ups, Obituaries, Rumors,
Katy Perry is "devastated" about the death of her ex-boyfriend Johnny Lewis.
The "Firework" singer - who dated the Sons of Anarchy star for 18 months until early 2007 - is believed to have been partly inspired by her former partner throughout her career, but knew she had to break up with him at the time because he was a troubled soul.
"She is devastated. She had to separate from him to get ahead and focus on her career. He was in trouble then and she couldn't help him. A lot of her songs were partially inspired by him. I know 'The One That Got Away' and 'Circle the Drain' are partly about him, as well as Travis McCoy. But she was young and it was a time in her life she cherishes," a source told Us Weekly.

Katy Perry’s Ex-Boyfriend Johnny Lewis Found Dead
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Movies, Television, Obituaries,
Katy Perry's ex-boyfriend Johnny Lewis has been found dead.
The 28-year-old actor - who dated Katy for 18 months until March 2007 - is believed to have killed his 81-year-old landlady Catherine Davis before leaping to his death from his home in Los Angeles yesterday. The upstairs of the building had been ransacked and a cat had also been killed.
"It's a terrible tragedy as far as we're concerned and we're digging into the bottom of it. He appeared to have died from some type of fall, either from the stairway, or from the balcony, or from one of the roofs. The best we're piecing together now is that it appears that some type of altercation occurred inside of the house resulting in the death of the woman. Then this individual ran outside, had an altercation with a couple of neighbors, ran back into the house and by the time we got here, he had fallen or had somehow died on the driveway," said Los Angeles Police Department Spokesman Andrew Smith.
Officers initially responded to a 911 call that a woman was heard screaming. No motive for the killing is yet known.
