Corey Feldman Statement on Death of Corey Haim

I was awakened at 8:30 this morning by my brother and sister knocking on my bedroom door. They informed me of the loss of my brother Corey Haim. My eyes weren’t even open all the way when the tears started streaming down my face.

I am so sorry for Corey, his mother Judy, his family, my family, all of our fans, and of course my son who I will have to find a way to explain this to when he gets home from school.

This is a tragic loss of a wonderful,beautiful,tormented soul, who will always be my brother,family, and best friend. We must all take this as a lesson in how we treat the people we share this world with while they are still here to make a difference. Please respect our families as we struggle and grieve through this difficult time.

I hope the art Corey has left behind will be remembered as the passion of that for which he truly lived. ~ Corey

Popular LA sushi restaurant ‘The Hump’ serves whale meat

The team who made The Cove, a film about Japanese dolphin hunting which won best documentary at this weekend’s Academy Awards, employed its covert camera techniques on a visit to The Hump in Santa Monica, one of California’s most highly-regarded sushi restaurants.

Whale meat, or kujira, is often available in Japanese fish markets but is illegal in America, and the documentary team’s investigation was conducted in conjunction with law enforcement officials who later raided the restaurant.

California state prosecutors told the New York Times that the restaurant was likely to be charged with violating federal laws against selling marine mammals, an offence punishable by a year in prison and a $20,000 (£13,000) fine.

The restaurant, which on its website urges “truly adventurous” sushi lovers to “leave yourselves in our hands”, has so far refused to comment.

The documentary team says it began investigating the restaurant in October last year after being tipped off by friends that The Hump – reportedly named after pilot slang for the Himalayas – had raw slices of whale on its menu.

Two animal rights activists wearing a specially-created tiny camera were dispatched to the restaurant for a $600 dinner of omakase, a sushi meal in which the chef selects the dishes.

The pair, both vegans, were filmed taking a few hesitant bites of thick pink slices of meat – identified by waiters as whale and costing $60 a plate – before they surreptitiously transferred it to a plastic bag.

According to an affidavit in the case, restaurant staff suggested the whale meat had come from a Mercedes parked behind the restaurant.

Woman at moivies stabbed in the neck with meat thermometer for talking on cell phone

Lancaster CA- First of all, for those of you that don’t know it, Lancaster is the new Compton of Southern California. Its a desert community in Los Angeles County, and it has a rather large criminal element that moved from south central Los Angeles after the Rodney King riots.

What I want to know is why a person would bring a meat thermometer to a movie theater in the first place.

The woman who was talking on a cell phone during a movie didn’t take to kindly to being ‘shushed’ by another moviegoer. Or at least her boyfriend didn’t.

In a drama that turned more lively than the one on screen, the boyfriend allegedly attacked and stabbed the ‘shusher’ in the neck. With a meat thermometer.

According to KTLA:

The stabbing occurred last Saturday at the Cinemark 22 theater at 2600 West Avenue I in Lancaster, according to Detective Richard Cartmill of the Lancaster sheriff’s station.

Deputies say that while the movie was playing, a woman was talking on her phone and the victim asked her to turn it off.

The victim was attacked by the woman’s boyfriend and another man. Deputies say he was stabbed in the neck with a meat thermometer.

The stabbing victim is expected to survive and is recovering at a local hospital. Two others who tried to help the victim were also injured, according to KTLA.

According to Sheriff’s officials, the suspects were described as black males. One man was wearing an orange hat with an orange jersey and the other man was dressed in a black hooded sweatshirt.

Sara Dale, English Cancer Nurse Sleeping with Cancer Patients Husbands

SHAMED Macmillan nurse Sara Dale cared for cancer-stricken wives – then bedded their husbands after they died.

The attractive divorcee, 39, has been fired by hospital bosses over allegations she had THREE such romances.

And she has been “debadged” by the Macmillan cancer support charity.

Dale, who worked as a community Macmillan nurse for nearly 13 years, met the men through her job at Queen Elizabeth NHS Hospital in King’s Lynn, Norfolk.

Their terminally-ill wives were being treated there.

And following their deaths, she embarked on relationships with the grieving widowers.

She currently lives with Stephen Ellis, 50, whose long-term partner Mel died of cancer last year.

An NHS source said: “Sara was a very popular member of the team at the hospital. When the allegations surfaced people were genuinely shocked.

“She has been off work for some time but her colleagues were only told she had been dismissed a couple of weeks ago.

“It has been kept quite hush-hush although word quickly got round about the allegations against her.

“Macmillan nurses do an amazing job in supporting cancer patients day in day out. And this is a really unfortunate episode.”

Dale, who had two children with her ex-husband, was first hauled before hospital bosses last year.

They were alerted when a number of NHS Trust top brass – including the Head of Cancer Services, Director of Nursing and Chief Executive – were tipped off in anonymous letters.

Dale went off sick – and was fired in January following a hearing over her “professional conduct”.

Her case is expected to be referred to the Nursing and Midwifery Council.

Dale, who is still free to work as a nurse, could be struck off if found guilty of bringing her profession into disrepute.

Her relationships came after her divorce and were not conducted at the same time.

She began one more than a year after her lover’s partner died.

She started dating Steve months after Mel passed away – and now lives with him in South Wootton, Norfolk.

No details are known about the third alleged romance.

Speaking to The Sun at her detached home yesterday, she denied the third fling.

She said: “The hospital was told I’d had three relationships with men who had lost their partners to cancer. But I have had two.

“One of them was long-term and we were together for nearly ten years. And the other is the one I am in now, who I love.”

She added: “I have never had an affair with a patient’s partner.” Last night a spokeswoman for the NHS Trust confirmed a nurse had been sacked.

She said: “A Macmillan nurse has been dismissed following an investigation into allegations made regarding her professional conduct.

“A hearing took place under the Trust’s disciplinary policy and procedure at which one of the allegations was upheld and she was dismissed with immediate effect.

“The matter will now be referred to the Nursing and Midwifery Council’s conduct committee.

“As a result of the hearing this individual is no longer a Macmillan nurse or entitled to hold the Macmillan name in her job title.”

Steve Richards, Macmillan director for London, East Anglia and the South East, said: “This individual was employed by the Trust as a palliative care nurse in 1998 and Macmillan funded the post until 2000.

“After that date no charity funds were used to pay for the post. We support the Trust’s decision and the nurse no longer holds the Macmillan name.”

Mr Richards added: “There are over 4,500 Macmillan health professionals in the UK who give much-needed support and care to hundreds of thousands of cancer patients and their families.

“This is an isolated incident and all our nurses are expected to maintain the highest standards of care and professional conduct.” There was no mention of the sacking on Dale’s Facebook page last night – and she was still listed as working at the hospital.

Under her personal details she has written: “I have worked as a Macmillan Nurse for the last 13 years and love it – except the NHS is a challenge.

“Oh i also have a mad labrador who sheds lots of hair and speaks. I am hoping to start writing as i need a new challenge.”
