Dave Matthews Band Saxophonist Dies
The Dave Matthews Band brass has been silenced.
Saxophonist LeRoi Moore, one of the founding members of the Virginia-based jam band, died Tuesday afternoon at Hollywood Presbyterian Medical Center in Los Angeles, E! News has confirmed. He was 46.
Exact cause of death is unknown, but it was due to complications from critical injuries that Moore sustained in a June 30 ATV crash on his farm near Charlottesville, Va.
Moore, who suffered a punctured lung and broken ribs at the time, had not performed with DMB since his accident, but had returned to L.A.—where the band is performing tonight at Staples Center—to begin an "intensive physical rehabilitation program," according to a statement released by DMB.
After opening tonight's show with "Bartender," Dave Matthews quieted the audience and informed them that "our good friend LeRoi Moore" had passed away.
"He gave up his ghost to heaven and we will miss him always," the singer said.
Miley and Mandy Turn Green
The environment just got some influential new friends.
Miley Cyrus and Mandy Jiroux posted a new episode of the "Miley and Mandy Show" on Monday night—and for this time it's just not all fun and games.
The YouTube video is part environmental PSA and part music video for a new single off her new album titled "Wake Up America," in which she implores all of us to take better care of the environment and "go green."
Ooh, Ooh That Smell
Sure, life as a touring rap star seems glamorous and all, but consider the case of Snoop Dogg and his Unity Tour: Between those shows with tens of thousands of screaming fans, clamoring press and raging parties are 15,000 miles of road done in 13-hour stretches between 35 cities, 27 states and two countries. Oh, and did we mention the bus full of people that reeks of fried fish? Get a whiff in our exclusive KillahKev With the Big Boss Dogg video series.
Nicole Kidman Prompts Olympians' Sail to Victory
Nicole Kidman's got the golden touch.
A phone call from the Australian actress helped spur two of her countrymen to victory Monday in the men's 470 class sailing competition at the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing, gold medal winner Malcolm Page tells Melbourne's Herald Sun.
After making tracks in the preliminary rounds, Page, partner Nathan Wilmot and their 4.70-meter-long fiberglass dinghy—named the Australia, after Baz Luhrmann's upcoming epic starring Kidman and Hugh Jackman—also finished first in yesterday's medal race, beating out teams from Great Britain and France for the top spot on the podium.
But despite their nautical tribute to Kidman, Page says that he didn't get to speak to her when she first rang him up because he saw the unknown number and let her call go to voice mail.

Posh in a Snit Over "Blatantly Untrue" Diet Pill Story
Victoria Beckham has had it up to here with tabloids trying to get the skinny on her figure.
The glamorous Brit is reportedly gearing up to sue the U.K. magazine Now over an article that claimed she was "hooked on sex and diet pills," which has since mysteriously vanished from the rag's website (though search results confirm the story once existed).
"The accusation is dangerous, defamatory and blatantly untrue," Beckham's agent, Jo Milloy, said Monday, referring to the latter half of that statement.
"Victoria takes her position as a role model to young women very seriously and is horrified by this hurtful, fabricated story. It is now with her lawyers."

Burning Q's: A-List Dems & Olympic No-Shows
Why are most stars Democrats? You would think as high wage earners, they would be Republicans.

Remember: Top-paid actors are also members of a massive union—the Screen Actors Guild. Unions traditionally see themselves as underdogs against a more powerful class, in this case, studio heads, film financiers and other producers. Stars know that they wouldn't get half the perks they enjoy—rest periods, minimum pay—without their union.
So their pay may give them something in common with the Bush family, but their culture does not. Unless you count Heidi and Spencer; they're Republicans.
You see celebs attending all kinds of sporting events. So have any celebs been to the Olympic Games this year?
