The Doctor is In. Not quite, but it sounded like fun. Dr. Patrick Soon-Shiong is committed to LA and has recently purchased Magic Johnson’s 4.5% share of the Lakers.

Eddy is back. Edison Chen, the guy who pretty much demolished a lot of female actresses over night (um, a bunch of nights actually) by way of stolen computer and tons of explicit pornish photos of he and subjects is back. Wasn’t he bound to eat animal feces at the hands of triads? Wasn’t he banned? Yes, he’s been in plenty of indie pictures.

Band Linkin Park including Joe Hahn below are part of the United Nations General Secretary Ban Ki Moon in a “Sustainable Energy for All Initiative.” Heidi Woan also pictured below sent us these photos of the event including a menu.
The NY Observer notes: “A cynical eye might dismiss the group’s philanthropy as another jump onto the “celebrities save Haiti” bandwagon. However, the band’s foundation, Music for Relief, has had its hand in a vast array of humanitarian efforts since its formation in 2004.” The Observer did botch guitar player, Brad Delson’s name, but congrats to the band.

Mike Shinoda does some talking below. That’s Joe Hahn, Brad Delson, Mike Shinoda and Rob Bourdon
Asians and Blacks have lowest drug and alcohol abuse rates. Mix it with Asia, we’d bet Asians are at the top. For now, chalk it up to being late bloomers or just the best liars. (NY Daily News – alcohol)
