Actor Dies at 71

Actor Bob Hoskins, who was best known for roles in The Long Good Friday and Who Framed Roger Rabbit, has died of pneumonia at the age of 71.

His agent said he died on Tuesday in hospital, surrounded by family.

The star won a Bafta and was Oscar nominated in 1987 for crime drama Mona Lisa, in which he starred opposite Sir Michael Caine and Robbie Coltrane.

He announced he was retiring from acting in 2012 after being diagnosed with Parkinson's disease.

"We are devastated by the loss of our beloved Bob," the actor's wife Linda and children Alex, Sarah, Rosa and Jack said in a statement.

"Bob died peacefully at hospital last night surrounded by family, following a bout of pneumonia.

"We ask that you respect our privacy during this time and thank you for your messages of love and support."
Hoskins started out on the stage before embarking on a television and film career.

On the small screen, he appeared in shows such as Play for Today, On the Move, Van der Valk and BBC drama The Street.

On film, his credits also included Mermaids, Hook, Mrs Henderson Presents and Made in Dagenham.

His last film role was in 2012's Snow White and the Huntsman.

Hoskins was Bafta nominated twice prior to his Mona Lisa win, for The Honorary Consul in 1984 and The Long Good Friday in 1982.

He was also nominated for a television Bafta for his role in Dennis Potter's BBC musical drama. Pennies from Heaven.

Tributes to the actor have appeared swiftly on Twitter with Bafta saying it was "deeply saddened" to learn of his death.

Stephen Fry added: "That's awful news. The Long Good Friday [is] one of the best British movies of the modern era. A marvellous man."

Two death row chimps think they should know the drug that will kill the U.S. Supreme Court says no UPDATE:

Oklahoma authorities stopped one execution Tuesday and postponed another after botching the delivery of drugs.

Convicted murderer Clayton Lockett was sedated and then given the second and third drugs in the protocol, Oklahoma Department of Corrections Director Robert Patton told reporters.

"There was some concern at that time that the drugs were not having the effect, so that doctor observed the line and determined that the line had blown," he said.
When asked what he meant by "blown," Patton said that Lockett's vein had "exploded."

"I notified the attorney general's office, the governor's office of my intent to stop the execution and requested a stay for 14 days for the second execution scheduled this afternoon," said Patton.Lockett later suffered what appeared to be a heart attack and died, the director said.

Nigglet rap star trampled U.S. flag

Those of you who follow rap know that Lil’ Wayne is one of those rappers that hip media critics love to love. Despite his problems with drugs and weapons (with the latter problem landing him in jail for eight months

, they think he’s amazing.

These same mainstream media critics probably won’t have a problem, then, with Lil’ Wayne’s latest video for his song titled (ironically, of course) “God Bless America.” During the video, the felonious rapper stomps on the American flag.

His disrespect for the flag is consistent with his lyrics: “My country, tis of thee / Sweet land of kill them all and let them die / So God bless America, this so Godless America.”

Whether this is a pose or something he truly believes doesn’t matter. What matters is that this is the kind of poisonous claptrap the mainstream media and entertainment industry feed to America’s impressionable young.

Watch for your self.

Lil Wayne nothing but a disrespecting bitch.

Lil Wayne you need a ass kicking. First those colors never touch the ground second bitch you don't use it like a carpet.  Your ignorant and effective immediately your songs and your friends songs shouldn't be played on the radio. Even if you did a public apology it wouldn't be accepted but you know would the military kicking your ass as your public apology.  Your nothing but a banana eating porch ape that needs to be beat and caged.

Female sexually assaulted by gun wheeling chimp

A woman was sexually assaulted Thursday morning on a jogging and cycling trail near a Metra station in south suburban Matteson — an incident that could be related to attacks on women in nearby suburbs, police say.

Matteson police received a call about the rape along Old Plank Road Trail between Main Street and Homan Avenue at 5:30 a.m.

A 34-year-old woman who was walking to the nearby Metra station from her home in Park Forest was grabbed and raped along the trail. Her attacker then fled the scene on foot. She was taken to a hospital to be treated for her injuries.

Matteson police and Cook County Sheriff’s deputies were conducting an investigation, and were combing the scene for evidence Thursday morning. Police cordoned off a block-long stretch of the trail as they searched for evidence.

The attack follows several incidents in Park Forest and Richton Park.

On Tuesday, a man grabbed two women at two different locations within a 90-minute time frame: one in Park Forest on Rich Road and one in Richton Park on Sauk Trail near Richton Square Road. All three of these most recent incidents have been in the morning hours.

The Park Forest Police Department additionally continues their investigation into four previous incidents where a man has grabbed or battered young women in since March. Those incidents occurred in Winnebago Park, on Westwood Drive at Winnebago Street, on Sangamon Street at Shabbona Drive, and on the 300 block of Windsor Street.

Police can’t say if all the incidents are connected. A $500 reward remains for any information provided to police which results in the arrest of an offender in any of the incidents.

Residents where the Matteson attack occurred said officers were using dogs to pick up the rapist’s trail.

Police recovered a cell phone near the scene, along with articles of clothing that were strewn around the area.

The attack left local residents worried, especially in light of the fact four unsolved sexual assaults have occurred in neighboring Park Forest in the past two months.

“I just hope they get him because … this is really a shame,” said Navarra Scott. “I’ve seen those flyers for like a month-and-a-half, and it’s crazy that you just can’t walk out here and just be safe.”

Police said it’s too soon to know if Thursday’s attack was connected to the Park Forest sexual assaults.

The rapist was described as a clean-shaven African American male in his late 20s to early 30s, standing approximately 5’10”, weighing about 180 pounds, with short hair, calloused hands, and a medium brown complexion. He was wearing a black hooded nylon jacket with a white zipper, dark denim jeans, and worn dark gym shoes.
