“SUICIDE FEARS FOR LINDSAY.”

“Friends say the star – who looked miserable and dishevelled in Paris recently – is living on a diet of pills, vodka and cigarettes.”

The Danny Gans Story: The Voices Inside My Head

THE death of Danny Gans never made a big spalsh in the mainstream media. But the death of Gans, a Las Vegas stalwart, by iatrogenic means continues to occupy the thoughts of Anorak’s Man in LA. He reviews the latest news:

Danny Gans’ autobiography makes its official debut in bookstores today– the same day that Garth Brooks will announce he’s starting a long run at the theatre left vacant by Danny Gans’ death.

The Voices In My Head arrives five months after the Las Vegas headliner died of an overdose of the powerful opiate hydromorphone, also known as Dilaudid or “drugstore heroin.” Gans’ ghostwriter-turned-cowriter RG Ryan tells the Las Vegas Review-Journal what he told Tabloid Baby last month: that the book will not address Gans’ drug use (or his ownership of a pharmacy supply house), but that “readers may get an idea from the book about why he took them”:

“Gans sustained several injuries over the years that caused him long-term problems, including an ankle injury that ended his dreams of becoming a major league baseball player, surgeries, two car accidents and a diagnosis of rheumatoid arthritis.”

Florida Weekly: Jackson’s death should teach us about disorders

Jackson’s death should teach us about disorders BY CHRISTINE STAPLETON.

Here follows the archetypal Jackson story and obituary:

He was my third-grade heartthrob. He was a fabulous dancer. He was a brilliant musician. He was a pop icon. He was accused of pedophilia. He may have been a drug addict. He probably was mentally ill. I am not a doctor but I believe Michael Jackson suffered horribly from several illnesses.

Arsenal Takeover Mystery

AS Arsenal buy yet another teenage prodigy in Arsene Wenger’s quest to field the first-ever pre-pubescent Premiership team, Arsenal fans’ interest has turned to boardroom shenanigans.

As the last of the big four Premiership clubs to remain in English hands, somewhat ironically considering their penchant for foreign talent, fears are rising that a takeover bid from either Russia or the Middle-East could be on the cards, according to the Times.

The north Londoners’ largest shareholder, diamond dealer Danny Fizman, has recently offloaded some of his stake in the club, a move which has seen the club’s share price rise £900 to £6,200 in just a week.

However, just who has been buying Fizman’s shares (659 of them at £5,975 a pop) remains to be seen. Although the Arsenal powers-that-be continue to deny takeover rumours, a spokesman for the Arsenal Supporters’ Trust admitted, “It is all very intriguing. We know who is selling, but we don’t know who is buying the shares or why”.

Could it be a Russian oligarch? A Qatar billionaire? A mild-mannered janitor? Or maybe it’s a Royal Bank of Scotland director?
