"EMPIRE STRIKES BACK" DIRECTOR KERSHNER DIES
[AP, 11/29/2010]
When George Lucas needed someone to direct the sequel to "Star Wars," he turned to veteran filmmaker Irvin Kershner. Lucas and others in Hollywood on Monday mourned the death of "The Empire Strikes Back" director. Kershner died Saturday, November 27, 2010 at his Los Angeles home after a 3 1/2-year battle with lung cancer. He was 87. The Philadelphia-born Kershner studied music, painting and photography before turning to film. He attended the University of Southern California film school and in the 1950s made U.S. government documentaries in Greece, Iran and Turkey. He was a director and cameraman for a television documentary series called "Confidential File" in Los Angeles before getting his first movie break in 1958 when Roger Corman helped finance his first feature, "Stakeout on Dope Street," which Kershner wrote and produced with colleague Andrew Fenady, said longtime friend and Hollywood publicist Dick Guttman. Kershner went on to direct a number of noted features in the 1960s and 1970s, including "A Fine Madness" with Sean Connery, Joanne Woodward and Jean Seberg; "The Flim-Flam Man" with George C. Scott; "Loving" with George Segal and Eva Marie Saint; and "The Eyes of Laura Mars" with Faye Dunaway. The 1976 television movie "Raid on Entebbe" earned him an Emmy nomination for direction. Along with "Empire," his big-budget work included the 1983 James Bond film "Never Say Never Again" with Connery and "Robocop 2" in 1990. Kershner is survived by two sons, David and Dana.

PRODUCER CHARGED WITH KILLING WIFE DENIED BAIL 
[AP, 11/29/2010]
A reality TV producer charged with killing his wife in Mexico will not be released from a Los Angeles jail while he fights extradition, a federal judge ruled Monday, November 29, 2010. Former "Survivor" producer Bruce Beresford-Redman did not demonstrate a special circumstance that would warrant his release on bail, U.S. Magistrate Judge Suzanne Segal said. He faces charges of the aggravated homicide in the death of his wife, Monica, during a vacation in Cancun in April. Prosecutors say he surrendered his passport and was told by Mexican authorities to notify them if he was leaving, but he instead returned to the United States. Beresford-Redman, who is also a co-creator of "Pimp My Ride," has not yet entered a plea, but has said he is innocent of the killing. He was shackled as he was escorted into the courthouse Monday by marshals. His attorneys contended his arrest is unconstitutional and have asked Segal to dismiss the case. The judge said that motion was premature, but scheduled arguments about a potential dismissal for Dec. 7, 2010. Podberesky argued that prosecutors have only presented hearsay evidence so far.
 
FLOYD MAYWEATHER JR ACCUSED OF ASSAULT
[Aceshowbiz, 11/25/2010]
Embattled boxer Floyd Mayweather, Jr. is facing further legal problems - he has been accused of assault with a deadly weapon in Las Vegas. Quincy Williams, a former associate of the fighter's, claims Mayweather, Jr. "tried to run him off the road" when he recognized him in his Mazda, according to the police complaint obtained by the Las Vegas Review Journal. The boxer did not hit Williams' car. Williams reported the run-in to the Las Vegas Police Department on Monday, November 22, 2010, although the sportsman had not been questioned by cops or arrested as WENN went to press. The alleged road rage incident reportedly stems from a shooting in 2009, when Williams was struck outside a skating rink. The boxer's pal, Ocie Harris, was subsequently indicted on two felony charges for attempted murder and assault with a deadly weapon in 2009. It's the latest in a string of troubles for Mayweather, Jr. - he was allegedly involved in a violent altercation with his ex-girlfriend in September and he stands accused of hitting a security guard in the face after a parking dispute in early November.

I send my prayers and well wishes."
