'Greetings From Tuscon" star, Pablos Santos Dies In Plane Crash

TOLUCA, Mexico - Teenage actor Pablo Santos, who starred in the television series "Greetings from Tucson," died after a small plane in which he was riding crashed in Mexico, a hospital official said Saturday. The Piper Malibu crashed Friday just over a mile short of the runway as it was making its approach to the airport in Toluca, some 35 miles west of Mexico City, according to the Mexico State Security Agency. Six other people were hospitalized. Santos, 19, was taken to the Social Security Hospital, where he died Friday, hospital spokeswoman Irma Garcia Guardarrama said. Santos starred as the son of a Mexican-American family portrayed in "Greetings from Tucson," which ran on the WB network from 2002 to 2003. He had appeared in numerous episodes on other television programs, including "Boston Public," "Law & Order" and "American Family," as well as films such as "Sea of Dreams" and "Party Animalz." Born in Monterrey, Santos moved with his family to Los Angeles when he was 12. Officials were investigating the cause of the accident.

Anna Nicole Welcomes Daughter, Loses Son

Our prayers are with Anna Nicole Smith, as her son died at a mere 20 years of age, three days after the birth of her daughter. Read on for the story...



Anna Nicole Smith Gives Birth To Daughter, Loses Son 3 Days Later

The former Playboy Playmate's 20-year-old son was found dead in a Nassau hospital Sunday, three days after Smith gave birth to a healthy baby girl in the Bahamas.
Daniel Smith had traveled to the Caribbean nation to be with his mother, according to a statement posted on her official Website. His body was discovered Sunday morning in a room of the private Doctor's Hospital in Nassau. Police declined to provide specifics about the circumstances of the death, which remains under investigation.
"We have yet to learn the cause of death but do not believe that drugs or alcohol were a factor," Smith's lawyer, Howard K. Stern, said in a statement. "Anna Nicole is absolutely devastated by the loss of her son. He was her pride and joy and an amazing human being."
As a teenager, Daniel Smith made frequent appearances on his mother's eponymous E! Entertainment reality show. (E! Online and E! Entertainment are divisions of E! Networks.)
Daniel was the product of Smith's marriage to Billy Smith, whom she married in 1985, when she was 16 and he was 17. The couple divorced in 1987. Smith announced her pregnancy in June. She has not revealed who fathered her daughter.

"Croc Hunter" Steve Irwin Laid To Rest

As passionate as anyone with his love for animals, an individual with a fearless, sparkling personality who captured the heart of millions, Steve Irwin, better known as "The Crocodile Hunter" has been laid to rest... may he Rest In Peace.



Steve Irwin, The Crocodile Hunter, Laid To Rest
A close friend said a service was held at the Caloundra Gregson and Weight funeral home chapel and crematorium at 2pm. It is believed the service was a prelude to Irwin, 44, being buried at his beloved Australia Zoo. The friend said Caloundra City Council officials this week gave the Irwin family permission to bury the Crocodile Hunter on family land near Australia Zoo.
"Yesterday's service was a service for family and good friends, people who were close to Steve in recent years," the friend said. "The council gave the family permission to bury Steve at the zoo and we think they're going to erect a monument there so visitors can continue to pay their respects." TV news reports last night speculated that Irwin's body would be laid to rest at Australia Zoo, either last night at a dusk service or after a dawn service today.
Channel 9 showed helicopter footage of a white van with two police escort cars seen entering the zoo, suggesting that the vehicle was carrying Irwin's body.
Earlier, Irwin's manager John Stainton told US TV network CNN: "We are having a private family service in the next two or three days, by Monday.
"Then we'll start planning the memorial service which will be open to members of the public."
